TITLE AND SURVEY
2.1    Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance.  Seller has obtained from Title Company, at Seller's expense, and delivered to Purchaser the First American Title Insurance Company Title Commitment No. 1494328-OK11, having an effective date of October 11, 2011 (together with all exceptions referenced therein, the "Title Commitment") and covering the Property.  
2.2    Survey.  Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has, at Seller's expense, delivered to Purchaser that certain as-built survey of the Real Property prepared by Tanner Consulting, LLC dated October 27, 2009 and bearing the seal of Dan Edwin Tanner, Oklahoma Registered Land Surveyor No. 1435.  Said survey or any update thereto or new survey obtained by Purchaser shall constitute the "Survey" hereunder.  For purposes of the Deed to be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, the legal description the Property shall be the legal description attached hereto as Schedule 

3





1.1(a), less and except any right-of-way or other conveyances previously made by Seller.  If, however, the metes and bounds description drawn from the Survey reflects a legal description different from the legal description attached hereto as Schedule 1.1(a), Seller shall also deliver a quit claim deed, at Closing, containing the legal description drawn from the Survey (or update thereto).
2.3    Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections.  
(a)    Purchaser or its attorneys shall have until that date which is twenty (20) days from the Effective Date (the “Title Objection Deadline”) to notify Seller and its attorneys, in writing, of such objections as Purchaser may have to the Title Commitment (including the title exception documents referred to therein) or Survey, other than the Permitted Exceptions described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 2.4.  Any item contained in the Title Commitment, any matter shown on the Survey or any document that is of record and properly indexed as of the effective date of such initial title examination to which Purchaser does not object on or before the Title Objection Deadline shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception”.  
(b)    In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of objections to title or to matters shown on a Survey on or before the Title Objection Deadline, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as otherwise expressly provided below), to cure such objections.  On or before the fifth (5th) day following Seller's receipt of Purchaser's notice of objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objections (and Seller's failure to provide such a notice shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure any such objection).   If Seller elects to attempt to cure, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same.  If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any objections specified in Purchaser's notice, or if Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller's intent to cure any objection and thereafter Seller fails or is unable to effect a cure prior to Closing (or any date to which the Closing has been extended), then in either such case Purchaser shall have the right to elect one, but not both, of the following options, which election must in each case be made within the time period provided in paragraph (c) below: 
(A)    to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Purchaser which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or 
(B)    to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser within two (2) business days in accordance with Section 1.5 of this Agreement, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder with respect to the Property, except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.
(c)    If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any title objection, or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure any title objections, or if Seller 

4





notifies Purchaser of Seller's intent to cure any objection and Seller later notifies Purchaser that Seller has failed or will be unable to effect a cure thereof, then in any such case Purchaser shall, within five (5) days after receiving Seller's notice or the date of Seller's deemed election or failed cure, as applicable, notify Seller in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (b)(i) above or to terminate this Agreement under clause (b)(ii) above (with Purchaser's failure to provide such a notice deemed an election by Purchaser to accept conveyance under clause (b)(i) above).  
(d)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at Closing to discharge (i) all mortgages of Seller (regardless of whether Purchaser objects to such mortgage), (ii) all monetary liens arising by, through or under Seller, and (iii) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the date hereof in violation of Section 2.6 hereof.  The term “mortgage” as used herein includes any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt and similar security instrument securing an indebtedness of Seller and encumbering the Property or any portion thereof; the terms “discharge” and “discharged” as used herein include compliance with a statutory bonding procedure that has the legal effect of removing the mortgage or item as a lien on the Property or otherwise allows the mortgage or item to be removed from the title exceptions in the Title Policy (as defined below).
2.4    Conveyance of Title.  At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer the Property to Purchaser.  It shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close this transaction that title to the Real Property conveyed and transferred to Purchaser shall be such title to the Real Property as will enable the Title Company to issue to Purchaser an extended coverage American Land Title Association (ALTA) Form 2006 Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) covering the Real Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject to the following matters, which shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions:  
(a)    the rights of tenants, as tenants only, without any right to acquire any portion of the Property, under the Leases described in the Rent Roll and any new Leases entered into between the Effective Date and Closing and (if required) approved by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 
(b)    the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided; 
(c)    local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building, zoning and land use laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property;  
(d)    All matters identified in Schedule 2.4(d) (the B-II title exceptions shown in the Title Commitment other than the standard printed exceptions which will be deleted upon Seller's delivery of the documents identified in Section 4.2 hereof) attached hereto and made a part hereof, except to the extent Seller agrees to cure any such matters pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5 hereof; 
(e)    additional items, if any, appearing of record or shown on the Survey, except 

5





to the extent Seller agrees to cure any such matters pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5 hereof; and
(f)    additional items, if any, approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.  
2.5    Pre-Closing “Gap” Title/Survey Defects.  Whether or not Purchaser shall have furnished to Seller any notice of title objections pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title or survey matters having a material effect on the operation or value of the Property and first raised by the Title Company or the Surveyor between (a) the effective date of the applicable Title Commitment or Survey and (b) the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser must notify Seller of any such objections within five (5) business days of Purchaser's first receipt of the updated Title Commitment, updated survey or other document, whichever first provides notice of the condition giving rise to any such objection.  With respect to any objections to title or survey matters set forth in such notice, except for objections arising or resulting from Seller's breach of the covenant contained in Section 2.6 hereof, Seller shall have the same option to cure and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Purchaser on or before the Title Objection Deadline.  
2.6    Seller's Covenant Not to Encumber.  Seller agrees that, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will not sell, assign, rent, convey (absolutely or as security), grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber or dispose of, the Property (or any part thereof or estate therein) in any manner that will survive Closing, except as approved in writing by Purchaser or as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to (i) continue leasing apartment units in the Property in the manner described in Section 5.4(b) hereof, (ii) terminate, amend or enter into Service Contracts in the manner described in Section 5.4(g) hereof, and (iii) use, deplete, remove or replace items of Tangible Personal Property in the ordinary course of business, provided any appliances, leasing office and pool furniture, fitness center equipment and other similar items of equipment or furniture so removed by Seller are promptly replaced by Seller, at its cost, with items of comparable value and utility.  
                                                ARTICLE 3    INSPECTION 
3.1    Right of Inspection.  
(a)    Beginning upon the Effective Date and continuing thereafter so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect, Purchaser and its agents, representatives, contractors and consultants shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and upon twenty-four (24) hours prior telephonic notice to Seller, have the right to make physical inspections of the Property (the “Inspections”) and to examine at such place or places at the Property, in the offices of the property manager, any operating files maintained by Seller or its property manager in connection with the ownership, leasing, maintenance and/or management of the Property, including, without limitation, the Leases, lease files, Service Contracts, bills, invoices, receipts and other general records relating to the income and expenses of the Property, correspondence, surveys, plans and specifications, warranties for services and materials provided to the Property and similar materials, and a copy of 

6





any brochures, advertising copy, promotional materials, manuals, portfolios, binders, training materials and other items, but excluding Seller's internal memoranda, financial projections and tax records, and similar proprietary or confidential information.  Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have one of its representatives accompany Purchaser or its representatives on each such inspection or examination.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its inspections and examinations of the Property, but Seller shall not be obligated to incur any liability, undue time commitment or expense in connection therewith.  In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser, within three (3) days after the date hereof, at the sole expense of Seller, all documents pertaining to the Property that have been prepared by, for or at the request of Seller or are in the possession or control of Seller or its affiliates or agents described on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto; Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the following in the possession or control of Seller as will be provided as required in the previous sentence:  monthly operating statements (year-to-date and 3-year historical); year-end financial statements, audited if available (past 3 years); and general ledger (year-to-date and 3-year historical).
(b)    Purchaser’s inspections of the Property shall not damage the Property in any respect, shall not be invasive in any respect (including, without limitation, soil borings, test pits, groundwater testing, or Phase II or Phase III environmental testing), and shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations.  Following each such entry by the Purchaser or its agents, representatives, contractors and consultants with respect to the Inspections, Purchaser shall promptly restore, or cause to be restored, the Property to substantially its original condition as existed immediately prior to any such Inspections. Purchaser shall not have the right to submit any samples or other materials to any testing laboratory or similar facility without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller.  
(c)    Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, its members, and their respective, members, affiliates, indirect owners (including trusts and plans), trustees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs incurred in defending any such claim or in enforcing this indemnity) of whatsoever nature (for purposes of this Section 3.1, individually a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) that are incurred by Seller or any other indemnified party arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Purchaser and its agents, representatives, contractors and consultants, or any of them, in connection with the Inspections of the Property, including but not limited to Claims arising out of or in connection with personal injury or death of persons, loss, destruction or damage to property, or liens or claims of lien filed against the Property, but excluding any Claims to the extent of any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any other indemnified party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no liability for pre-existing conditions discovered by any inspection of the Real Property except to the extent actually aggravated by Purchaser.  This Section 3.1(c) shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.  
3.2    Right of Termination.  Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, that it does not wish to acquire the Property for any reason or no reason, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written 

7





notice of such termination to Seller on or before thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (the “Inspection Date”).  Upon any such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Purchaser's rights under this Section 3.2 the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6 hereof, and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights and obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to give Seller timely notice of termination on or before the Inspection Date, then Purchaser shall no longer have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2 and (subject to any contrary provisions of this Agreement) shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.2.  The period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Inspection Date is sometimes referred to herein as the “Inspection Period”. 
3.3    Confidentiality.  
(a)    Purchaser acknowledges that all reports and other information provided to Purchaser (the “Deliveries”) under this Agreement or separate arrangement with Seller or Broker are for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty on the part of Seller or any other party regarding the Property.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have access to, and Seller shall not be obligated to make available to Purchaser, any confidential, proprietary or privileged information of Seller related to the Property, such excluded materials to include Seller’s internal memoranda, financial projections, operating budgets, appraisals, tax returns and similar proprietary, confidential or privileged information.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Seller will make available to Purchaser financial statements, operating reports and rent rolls used in Seller’s ordinary course of business.  
(b)    The existence and contents of this Agreement, the negotiations of parties with respect to the possible sale and purchase of the Property and any matters disclosed by any Inspections undertaken by Purchaser with respect to the Property and any additional information furnished by Seller to Purchaser from time to time (including, without limitation, the Deliveries)  shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third parties without the consent of both parties hereto, except for any disclosure (i) that may be required by law to be made to any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or any other person or entity, (ii) made after the Closing Date, or (iii) of information otherwise in the public domain.  Both parties recognize the need to disclose, and agree to the disclosure of, certain aspects of this transaction to their respective lenders, investors, accountants, attorneys, affiliates, employees, agents and other consultants.  Neither party is responsible for the actions of third parties as to the disclosure of confidential information, but each party agrees to inform their lender, investors, accountants, attorneys, affiliates, employees, agents and other consultants of the confidentiality of this transaction and all such other information and, upon request of the other, agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain confidentiality agreements from such third parties.  From and after Closing, either party may issue a press release describing the transaction, provided that neither of Seller or Purchaser may include the identity of the other party in such press release unless such press release is approved in advance by the other party.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser or its affiliates, agents, consultants and/or representatives may communicate with any local governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property for the 

8





purpose of gathering information reasonably necessary in connection with conducting its Inspections of the Property.  Any separate confidentiality, access, or similar agreement between Seller and Purchaser are hereby expressly terminated.
(c)    If this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall, within seven (7) days from the date of such termination, return or cause to be returned to Seller, all Deliveries and, if requested by Seller and upon reimbursement of Purchaser's actual costs therefor, deliver to Seller copies of all third party reports prepared on behalf of Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  
        ARTICLE 4     
CLOSING
4.1    Time and Place.  The  consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby ("Closing") shall be held at the office of Escrow Agent  (Six Concourse Parkway, Suite 2000, Atlanta, GA 30328) on a date specified by Purchaser, which date shall not exceed thirty (30) days after the Inspection Date, via escrow funds and fully executed documents.  At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall perform the obligations set forth in, respectively, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3.  The Closing may be held at such other place or such earlier time and date as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually approve in writing.  The date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur hereunder (or, if earlier, the date on which Closing occurs) is sometimes referred to herein as the "Closing Date".  The parties will endeavor to "pre-close" on the business day prior to the Closing Date, so as to allow the wire transfers of the Purchase Price to occur at the opening of business on the Closing Date or as promptly thereafter as practical.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the outside date by which Closing must occur for one (1) additional thirty (30) day period by (a) notifying Seller in writing of Purchaser's election to so extend Closing and (b) depositing with Escrow Agent an additional Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) earnest money for such thirty (30) day period (the “Additional Earnest Money”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Purchaser fails to close (for any reason or no reason other than Seller's default) on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period following exercising its right to extend the Closing Date as provided in the preceding sentence, all Earnest Money shall be disbursed to Seller in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof.  
4.2    Seller's Obligations at Closing.  At Closing, Seller shall:  
(a)    deliver to Purchaser a duly executed limited or special warranty deed in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4.2(a) and by this reference made a part hereof, conveying the Real Property to Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the "Deed"); 
(b)    deliver to Purchaser two counterparts of a bill of sale and assignment and assumption of leases and service contracts, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4.2(b) and by this reference made a part hereof, duly executed by Seller, pursuant to which (i) Seller shall convey the Tangible Personal Property and the Intangible Property to Purchaser, and (ii) Seller  
 


9





shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume from and after the date of Closing, Seller's interest in and to the Leases and Designated Service Contracts, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Agreement (the “Bill of Sale and Assignment”); 
(c)    join with Purchaser to execute a notice (the “Tenant Notice”) in the form of Schedule 4.2(c) attached hereto, which Purchaser shall send to each tenant under each of the Leases informing such tenant of the sale of the Property and of the assignment to Purchaser of Seller's interest in, and obligations under, the Leases (including, if applicable any security deposits) and directing that all rent and other sums payable after the Closing under each such Lease shall be paid as set forth in the notice; 
(d)    deliver to Purchaser a certificate (“Seller's Closing Certificate”), dated as of the date of Closing and duly executed by Seller, in the form of Schedule 4.2(d) attached hereto, stating that the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5.1 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing (with appropriate modifications to reflect any changes therein or identifying any representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change); provided, however, that the inclusion of any change or exception in such certificate shall not prejudice Purchaser's rights under this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of such change or exception.  The Seller's Closing Certificate shall include an updated Rent Roll dated no earlier than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date as to which Seller shall make the same representations and warranties, as of the date of such Rent Roll, as Seller makes under Section 5.1(d) with respect to the Rent Roll attached hereto; 
(e)    deliver to Purchaser such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Seller; 
(f)    deliver to Purchaser an affidavit duly executed by Seller stating that Seller is not a "foreign person" as defined in the Federal Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and the 1984 Tax Reform Act; 
(g)    deliver to the Title Company a title insurance affidavit, if required by the Title Company, duly executed by Seller or a representative of Seller, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Seller and the Title Company regarding construction, debts, liens and parties in possession and other matters customarily required by Title Company and, if applicable, a customary “gap” indemnity; 
(h)    deliver to Purchaser at the place of Closing or at the Property the Leases together with such leasing and property files and records, and other Deliveries, all to the extent not previously delivered and the originals thereof to the extent in Seller's possession or control; 
(i)    deliver to Purchaser possession and occupancy of the Property, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, and deliver to Purchaser all inventories of supplies on hand at the Property owned by Seller, if any, at no additional cost to Purchaser; 
(j)    deliver a closing statement(s) evidencing the transaction contemplated by 

10





this Agreement and such additional documents, including without limitation transfer tax or similar forms or returns, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by the Title Company or required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and
(k)    if the legal description attached hereto as Schedule 1.1(a) differs from the legal description of the Property drawn from the Survey, Seller shall at Closing deliver (in addition to the Deed) a quit claim deed conveying the Property pursuant to the legal description drawn from the Survey, which legal description shall be subject to Seller's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  
4.3    Purchaser's Obligations at Closing.  At Closing, Purchaser shall:  
(a)    deliver to Escrow Agent the full amount of the Purchase Price as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date, in immediately available federal funds wire transferred to Escrow Agent's Account, and deliver to Escrow Agent instructions to release the full amount of the Purchase Price, as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, to Seller; 
(b)    join Seller in execution of all counterparts of the Bill of Sale and Assignment and the Tenant Notice.  In connection with the Tenant Notice, Purchaser shall deliver to each and every tenant of the Property under a Lease thereof a signed statement acknowledging Purchaser's receipt and responsibility for each tenant's security deposit (to the extent credited or delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing), if any, all in compliance with and to the extent required by the applicable law.  The provisions of this sub-section shall survive Closing;
(c)    deliver to Seller such evidence as the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Purchaser; 
(d)    deliver to Seller a certificate dated as of the date of Closing and duly executed by Purchaser, (i) reaffirming the provisions of Article 9 and confirming that such provisions remain and will continue in full force and effect as of and after the Closing, and (ii) stating that the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 5.5 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of Closing (with appropriate modifications to reflect any changes therein or identifying any representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change); provided, however, that the inclusion of any change or exception in such certificate shall not prejudice Seller's rights under this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of such change or exception, including the right of Seller to terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money; and
(e)    deliver a closing statement(s) evidencing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and such additional documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Title Company or required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

4.4    Credits and Prorations.
(a)    All income and expenses in connection with the operation of the Property shall be apportioned as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on the day prior to the Closing Date, as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire Closing Date, such that, except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the benefit of income and the burden of expenses for the day preceding the Closing Date and the Purchaser shall have the benefit of income and the burden of expenses for the Closing Date and thereafter.  Items (1)-(5) below will be prorated at Closing utilizing the information known at that time.  A post-closing “true-up” shall take place within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date to adjust the prorations of said items (1), (3), (4) and (5), if necessary, and within a reasonable time to adjust the proration of said item (2), if necessary.  Such prorated items shall include, without limitation, the following:
(1)    rents, if any, based on the amount collected for the current month. The term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes all payments received from tenants under the Leases other than refundable deposits, previously paid application fees, reimbursement payments which are attributable to periods prior to Closing, late charges which are attributable to periods prior to Closing, and previously paid termination payments (which refundable deposits shall be treated as set forth in Section 4.4(b)(1), but such other amounts shall be retained by Seller); 
(2)    ad valorem taxes and assessments levied against the Property (including personal property taxes on the Tangible Personal Property), which shall be prorated as set forth in Section 4.4(b)(2) hereof;
(3)    payments or amounts due under the Designated Service Contracts.  To the extent any rebate, concession or commission payable to Seller under any Designated Service Contract has accrued before Closing but has not been paid to Seller, Seller shall receive a credit for such accrued amounts at Closing; Seller shall retain any signing bonus or similar payments received by Seller before Closing; provided, however, that with respect to any new Service Contract entered into in accordance with Section 5.4(g) that contains any rebate, concession, commission bonus or similar payment to which Seller would be entitled, Purchaser’s prior consent to such new Service Contract was obtained (even if such consent for such new Service Contract would not otherwise have been required under said Section 5.4(g));
(4)    gas, electricity, water and other utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing or the most recent utility bill received by Seller, as applicable, including, without limitation, water charges not yet due and payable to such utility provider at Closing, but which amounts are customarily billed directly to Seller and reimbursed by tenants; and

12





(5)    any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in comparable commercial transactions in the area in which the Property is located.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions:  
(1)    At Closing, (A) Seller shall credit to Purchaser the amount of such unforfeited resident deposits as shown on the rent roll, and (B) Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at either party's option, Purchaser shall contract directly with the utility companies and Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits; provided that Purchaser and Seller will cooperate so that utility service to the Property is not interrupted.  For the purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(1) the term “unforfeited resident deposits” means any refundable resident deposits which are held by Seller and which Seller has not applied, and is not entitled to apply, against delinquent rents, property damage or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Lease.  
(2)    Any ad valorem taxes for the current year paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid for the current tax year.  If all taxes and assessments for the current tax year have not been paid before Closing, then Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before Closing and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed.  To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current tax year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing promptly following the availability of the final tax bills.  For avoidance of doubt, any refunds generated from appeal of ad valorem taxes for year(s) prior to the current year shall remain the property of Seller and paid to Seller by Purchaser, if and to the extent received by Purchaser; provided, however that Seller shall have no right to commence any appeal after the Closing Date.
(3)    Gas, electricity, water and other utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(4) above which are payable by any tenant directly to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges which are unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the responsible tenant for the payment of the same.  
(4)    If Seller shall have paid any gas, electricity, water or other utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(4) above directly to a third party which are reimbursable by tenants, but shall not have been reimbursed therefor by the time of 

13





Closing, then Purchaser shall credit to Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller.  
(5)    As to gas, electricity and other utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(4) above, Seller may on notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of all of such items accrued to the Closing Date directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects and the utility company agrees to look solely to Seller for payment of any such item accrued prior to the Closing Date, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller's obligation to pay such item with respect to the period prior to Closing directly in such case shall survive the Closing.  
(6)    Seller shall pay in full all leasing commissions and locators' and finders' fees, if any, due to leasing or other agents (pursuant to a contractual agreement with Seller) for each Lease and Lease renewal entered into by Seller prior to the Closing Date promptly when due.  
(7)    The Tangible Personal Property is included in this sale, without further charge.  
(8)    Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows:  (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing.  Seller and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity.  Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser's operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to incur any expense or institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the sole right to collect rents, if any, which are unpaid or delinquent as of Closing, from tenants who are no longer in occupancy as of the Closing (and Purchaser shall promptly deliver any such rents to Seller if received by Purchaser after Closing).  
(9)    The provisions of this Section 4.4(b) shall survive Closing.  
(c)    The Purchase Price shall be adjusted for any “rent ready” credit under Section 5.4(e) hereof.  
4.5    Closing Costs.  Seller shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing it in 

14





connection with this transaction, (b) the cost of the Survey provided by Seller (but not the cost of any update or revision to the Survey), (c) the base premium for the Title Policy in the amount of the Purchase Price and the simultaneous issue charge for any lender's policy, (d) the costs of curing all title objections for which Seller is responsible under this Agreement (including if by endorsement), (e) the costs of recording all mortgage cancellations, (f) one-half of all applicable transfer taxes, documentary stamp taxes and similar charges relating to transfer of the Property, (g) one-half of any escrow fees charged by the Escrow Agent and (h) all fees payable to Broker.  Purchaser shall pay (A) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with this transaction, (B) the fees for recording the Deed, (C) the premiums for any title insurance endorsements requested by Purchaser or its lender or title insurance coverage in excess of the Purchase Price, (D) the cost of Purchaser's inspections of the Property, (E) the cost of any updates or revisions to the Survey, including updates or revisions necessary to comply with the requirements of Purchaser or its lender, (F) one-half of all applicable transfer taxes, documentary stamp taxes and similar charges relating to transfer of the Property, and (G) one-half of any escrow fees charged by the Escrow Agent.  All other costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid by the party incurring same.  
4.6    Conditions Precedent to Obligation of Purchaser.  The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transaction hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment on or before the date of Closing (or such earlier time as otherwise required hereby) of all of the following conditions, any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion:

(f)    There shall exist no pending actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings, against Seller that would materially and adversely affect Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

With respect thereto, Seller may assign all of Seller's contract rights and obligations hereunder to an exchange accommodation titleholder or a qualified intermediary, as part of, and in furtherance of, such tax deferred exchange.

Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Purchaser from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs incurred in defending any such claim or in enforcing this indemnity)  that may be incurred by Purchaser and arising out of Purchaser's participation in such exchange for the benefit of Seller, which obligation shall survive the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Seller fail to effect a tax deferred exchange as contemplated in this Section 4.8 for any reason, then the sale by Seller of the Property shall be consummated in accordance with terms and conditions of this Agreement just as though the provisions of this Section 4.8 had been omitted from this Agreement, except that Purchaser shall be reimbursed and indemnified from resulting costs and expenses as provided in this Section.  Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 shall release Seller of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, whether accruing before, at or after Closing, nor shall anything contained in this Section 4.8 impose any liability or obligation on Purchaser with respect to the tax consequences of this transaction to Seller.  
                                                                   ARTICLE 5

The termination of any Lease prior to Closing by reason of the tenant's default or for any other reason not constituting a default by Seller under this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Purchaser to an abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Purchaser.

Seller has not received prior to the Effective Date any written notice from Seller's current insurance carrier of any defects or inadequacies in or on the Property or any part or component thereof that would materially and adversely affect the insurability of the Property or cause any material increase in the premiums for insurance for the Property, that have not been cured or repaired, or that any noninsurable condition exists in, on or about the Property or any part thereof.  

18





(g)    Environmental Matters.  (i) Seller has received no written notice from any governmental authority or any other person or entity asserting any violation of Environmental Laws related to the Property which has not been cured or corrected as of the Effective Date, and (ii) other than the environmental reports previously delivered to Purchaser, Seller has not commissioned any study relating to the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials on the Property.  Seller has never used the Property or any part thereof, and has never permitted any person to use the Property or any part thereof, for the production, processing, manufacture, generation, treatment, handling, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances in violation of Environmental Laws, other than in the ordinary course of business.  The term “Environmental Laws” includes without limitation the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and other federal laws governing the environment as in effect on the date of this Agreement together with their implementing regulations as of the date of this Agreement applicable to the Property, and all applicable state, regional, county, municipal and other local laws, regulations and ordinances that are equivalent or similar to the federal laws recited above or that purport to regulate hazardous or toxic substances and materials.  The term “Hazardous Materials” includes petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof) and any substance, material, waste, pollutant or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic under any Environmental Laws, in any case at levels or concentrations requiring monitoring, reporting, remediation or removal in accordance with Environmental Laws. 
(h)    Service Contracts.  There are no material service, supply, equipment rental or similar agreements (each a “Service Contract” and collectively “Service Contracts”) to which Seller is a party affecting the Property other than those set forth in Schedule 5.7(b). True, correct and complete copies, in all material respects, including any amendments or modifications thereto, have been delivered by Seller to Purchaser.  To Seller's knowledge, Seller is not in default with respect to its obligations or liabilities under any of the Service Contracts where the failure to cure such default would have a Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any fact or circumstance, that such fact or circumstance would individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect on title to the Property or any portion thereof, on Seller's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated herein, or on the value or operation of the Property.  
(i)    Employees.  Seller has no employees which Purchaser shall be obligated to employ following the Closing.  In reliance on the representation provided by Purchaser in Section 5.5(e), the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (and any underlying obligations contemplated by this Agreement) does not and shall not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).  
(j)    Operating Statements. The operating statements for the Property delivered to Purchaser are the operating statements maintained by Seller and relied on by Seller for internal administration and accounting purposes, and Seller has no basis, to Seller’s actual knowledge, to believe that such operating statements are not accurate in any material respect; provided, however, that Seller does not and will not represent or warrant that Purchaser will be able to, or should be able to, operate the Property according to and with similar results as shown in such operating statements.  

19





(k)    Personal Property.  The Tangible Personal Property set forth on Schedule 1.1(d) is all owned by Seller free and clear of all liens or adverse claims and located at the Real Property.  Seller has the right to use the Tangible Personal Property as it has been using the same and the right to convey its interest in such Tangible Personal Property as provided hereunder for such continued use, free of any claims of third parties claiming by, through or under Seller.
(l)    Intentionally Deleted.  
(m)    Violations.  Seller has not received any written notice from any governmental authority that the Real Property is in violation of any applicable building, earthquake, zoning, land use, environmental, antipollution, health, fire, safety, access and accommodations for the physically handicapped, subdivision, energy and resource conservation and similar laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances or any covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Real Property.
(n)    Seller.  Seller is not “foreign person” as defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder.

(q)    Deliveries.  Those certain Seller third party reports listed on Schedule 3.1 and provided to Purchaser have been provided in good faith and with no basis in Seller’s actual knowledge (without investigation or inquiry) to believe that such information is not accurate as of the time prepared or is misleading in any material respect.    
5.2    Knowledge Defined.  References to the “knowledge” of Seller shall refer only to the actual knowledge, without investigation or inquiry, on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date as specified in the Seller’s Closing Certificate, of the Designated Representatives (as hereinafter defined) of Seller, and shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of any property manager or broker, or to any other officer, agent, manager, representative or employee of Seller or any affiliate of Seller, or to impose upon such Designated Representatives any duty to 

20





investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge, or the absence thereof, pertains. As used herein, the term “Designated Representatives” shall refer to the following persons: (i) Thomas H. Flournoy and (ii) Nancy Martin, Regional Property Manager.  In no event shall Purchaser have any personal claim against the above-named individuals as a result of the reference thereto in this Section 5.2 and Purchaser waives and releases all such claims which Purchaser now has or may later acquire against them in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.  
5.3    Survival of Seller's Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.1, as updated by Seller's Closing Certificate, shall survive Closing for a period of nine (9) months after Closing.  Except with respect to fraudulent misrepresentation, in which event Section 6.2 shall apply, no claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable (a) if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Purchaser prior to Closing, and (b) unless the claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) or more, in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable, up to but not exceeding the amount of the Cap (as defined below), and (c) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to the expiration of said nine (9) month period and an action shall have been commenced by Purchaser against Seller within twelve (12) months after Closing.  In the event of any breach by Seller of its representations and warranties contained herein which Purchaser first discovers after Closing and provides timely notice as aforesaid, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, cost or expense resulting therefrom up to but not exceeding the Cap.  Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser to the extent Purchaser's claim is satisfied in full from any insurance policy, Designated Service Contract or Lease.  As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean the total aggregate amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price.  In no event shall Seller's aggregate liability to Purchaser for any and all breaches of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement or Seller's Closing Certificate exceed the amount of the Cap, and Purchaser hereby waives and disclaims any right to damages or compensation for any and all such breaches in excess of the Cap.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Seller had actual knowledge that any representation or warranty was untrue when made, and Seller fraudulently made such representation or warranty (or intentionally and/or fraudulently failed to disclose subsequently arising information that rendered such representation or warranty untrue), then the Cap shall be increased to the amount of Purchaser’s actual direct third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement.
5.4    Covenants of Seller.    Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser, from the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, as follows:

Except for amendments or leases entered into pursuant to renewal notices mailed prior to the execution of this Agreement, unless Purchaser agrees otherwise in writing, any new leases or renewals or modifications of existing leases for such apartment units entered into by Seller after the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement shall be on Seller's standard apartment lease form for the Property, and shall be for terms of no less than three (3) months and no more than fifteen (15) months.  In all cases, Seller shall retain the discretion to set rent rates, concessions and other terms of occupancy, provided Seller shall only enter into new leases or renewals in the ordinary course of business taking into account Seller's then-current good faith evaluation of market conditions.  Each such new lease or renewal entered into by Seller shall constitute a “Lease” for purposes of this Agreement.  
(c)    Maintenance of  Insurance.  Seller shall keep the Improvements insured against loss or damage (including rental loss) by fire and all risks covered by the Seller's insurance that is currently in force, provided that Seller may make commercially reasonable adjustments in Seller's insurance coverage for the Property which are consistent with Seller's general insurance program for Seller's other apartment properties as in effect from time to time.  
(d)    Enforcement of Existing Leases.  Seller shall perform the landlord's material obligations to the tenants under the Leases and enforce the material obligations of the tenants under the Leases, in each case in accordance with the current management standards of Seller for its apartment properties.

Seller shall place apartment units that are now vacant or that become vacant into rent-ready condition on or before the Closing Date in accordance with Seller's current management standards for its apartment properties as though no sale of the Property were contemplated or, at Seller's option, provide Purchaser a credit at Closing equal to Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00) per unit for the apartment units that are not in rent-ready condition on the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to apartment units vacated during the three (3) day period ending on the Closing Date, Seller shall have no obligation either to put such units into rent-ready condition or to give Purchaser a credit for the cost of doing so.  Not more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Closing Date, a representative of Purchaser and a representative of Seller shall conduct an onsite walk-through of the then unoccupied rental units on the Property to determine whether any of such unoccupied rental units are in “rent ready” condition.  
(f)    Removal and Replacement of Tangible Personal Property.  Seller shall not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement (which repair and replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of the removal), or otherwise in accordance with current inventory and management standards of Seller for its apartment properties, provided that any appliances, leasing office furniture, pool furniture, fitness center equipment, or other similar items of equipment so removed by Seller are promptly replaced by Seller, at its cost, with items of comparable value and utility.
(g)    Execution of New Contracts.  Seller shall not, without Purchaser's prior 

22





written consent in each instance (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser's sole discretion), materially amend, extend, renew or terminate any of the Service Contracts, or enter into any contract or agreement that will be an obligation affecting the Property or binding on Purchaser after the Closing, except that (i) Seller may enter into, amend or enforce (including enforcement by termination) Service Contracts in the ordinary course of business as reasonably necessary for the continued operation and maintenance of the Property, provided any new Service Contracts

(j)    Intentionally Deleted.   
(k)    Intentionally Deleted.    
(l)    Litigation.  Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing, following Seller’s receipt of written notice from and after the Effective Date, of any pending litigation, arbitration, condemnation or administrative hearing or proceeding before any court or governmental agency concerning Seller or the Property other than customary eviction proceedings that will be completed prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller’s receipt of such notice shall not otherwise constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.
(m)    Compliance; Notices; Prohibited Acts.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts within Seller’s means to comply in all material respects with all covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances applicable to the Property, and promptly give Purchaser copies of all written notices received by Seller asserting any breach or default under the Leases or the Service Contracts or any violation of any license, permit or other approval, or any covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances applicable to the Property.

23





(n)    Hazardous Materials.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller’s receipt of such notice (or Seller’s giving of such notice) shall not otherwise constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement.

5.7    Covenants of Purchaser.  
(a)    Purchaser hereby covenants with Seller that, upon any termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall upon Seller's request, furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Purchaser in connection with any inspection of  the Property for the presence of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 5.1(g) hereof), Mold or any Mold Condition (as defined below).  EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS BASED ON A BREACH BY SELLER OF THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN SECTION 5.1(g), PURCHASER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST SELLER ARISING FROM THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR MOLD OR ANY MOLD CONDITION ON THE PROPERTY OR THE BREACH OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY.

Purchaser hereby covenants with Seller that on or before the Inspection Date, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller instructing which of the assignable Service Contracts Purchaser desires for Seller to assign to Purchaser and which it does not.  If Purchaser fails to timely deliver such notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have chosen to have all assignable Service Contracts assigned to Purchaser, and all such Service Contracts shall be deemed part of the “Designated Service Contracts.”  At Closing, Seller will cause the Service Contracts which Purchaser has elected not to have assigned to Purchaser (other than the Must Take Service Contracts), by operation of the aforesaid notice on or before the Inspection Date, to be terminated at Seller’s expense, such termination to be effective within the time period provided for in the applicable Service Contract (or if no such time period is provided, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date).  The provisions of this Section 5.7(b) shall survive Closing.  
5.8    Special Provisions Concerning Condominium Conversion.
(a)    If Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser shall elect to conduct a program of sales of condominium units within the Property, or otherwise to convert all or any part of a Property to the condominium form of ownership at anytime during the earlier to occur of (i) ten (10) year period following Closing or (ii) the expiration of any statutory period under which the original developer and/or contractor or its affiliates (to the extent any of the foregoing are the Seller or an affiliate of Seller) would be liable under applicable law for construction defects, such party shall provide Seller with a copy of the proposed condominium documentation in advance of submission to any governmental agency with jurisdiction over such sales program, or in advance of any recordation of any such documentation in the real property records. The proposed condominium documentation shall reflect a “Developer” or “Declarant” (or similar party) other than Seller or any affiliate of Seller.  
(b)    Purchaser agrees that, at all times from and after Closing, it will indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller and its affiliates, and their respective officers and directors (herein collectively called the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses), which any of the Indemnified Parties may suffer, incur or be obligated to perform as a result of Purchaser's, or any of its affiliates', and only Purchaser or one of its affiliates, converting the form of ownership of all or any part of the Property to a condominium form of ownership and/or selling residential condominium units within the Property (hereinafter collectively called the “Condo Claims”). The foregoing indemnity with respect to the Condo Claims shall be in effect regardless of whether the Condo Claims result from actions of condominium unit owners, condominium unit purchasers or condominium or property owners' association and regardless of whether such Condo Claims relate to the construction of the Property or any other matter, nature or thing, whatsoever.  Purchaser, through selection of counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller, shall have the sole and exclusive right (absent an 

26





unwaiveable legal conflict of interest) to defend such claim in all respects.  
(c)    Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall not undertake or commence any sales or marketing activities regarding the conversion of all or any part of the Property to a condominium form of ownership or the marketing or sale of condominium units therein, including, without limitation, the submittal or recordation of any documentation regarding the conversion of the Property to a condominium form of ownership or the marketing or sale of condominium units therein. Additionally, and not by way of limitation, prior to Closing, neither Purchaser nor any affiliate of Purchaser, nor any of their respective officers or directors shall communicate any information about or concerning the future or potential conversion of all or any part of the Property to a condominium form of ownership, or the sale or marketing of any condominium units therein, to any existing or potential tenant or occupant of the Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall be permitted to inspect or review any or all records of any federal, state or local governmental authority, and shall be permitted to make such inquiries of and obtain such documentation and information related to the Property from any federal, state or local governmental authorities to be able to confirm the compliance and the condition of the Property with respect to all governmental requirements and Purchaser's ability to convert the Property to condominium use; provided, however, that this Section 5.8 does not permit the disclosure of any information concerning the potential conversion of the Property to a condominium form of ownership to any tenant or occupant of the Property or potential purchasers of condominium units prior to Closing.  
(d)    This Section 5.8 shall survive the termination, cancellation, rescission or consummation of this Agreement.  
                               ARTICLE 6     
DEFAULT
6.1    Default by Purchaser.  If the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Purchaser's default hereunder, then Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such default, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement and not as a penalty, it being agreed between the parties hereto that the actual damages to Seller in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate thereof, Seller hereby expressly waiving and relinquishing any and all other remedies at law or in equity.  Seller's right to receive the Earnest Money is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages.  The right to receive the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages is Seller's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Purchaser:  (a) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (b) to recover any damages of any nature or description other than or in excess of the Earnest Money.  Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of the Earnest Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller's actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages.  This Section 6.1 is subject to Section 6.4 hereof.  

27





6.2    Default by Seller. If the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller's default hereunder, then Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy for such default, either (a) to receive the return of the Earnest Money, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder (other than the obligations which expressly survive termination, including without limitation any obligation of Seller under this Agreement to pay to Purchaser the Third Party Costs), or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement.  Purchaser expressly waives and releases its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller's default hereunder; provided, however, (1) that if Seller’s default constitutes an Intentional Seller Default (as hereinafter defined) and Purchaser makes the election in clause (a) above, then Purchaser shall also have the right to sue Seller for money damages, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate, or (ii) the amount of all direct, third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, and the inspection, acquisition and financing of said Property (the “Third Party Costs”); and (2) if Seller’s default does not constitute an Intentional Seller Default, but such default occurs after that date on which the Purchaser’s lender issues and the Purchaser accepts a rate lock agreement, and Purchaser makes the election in clause (a) above, then Purchaser shall also have the right to sue Seller for money damages in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), or (ii) one-half (1/2) of Purchaser’s Third Party Costs.  In no event (except as provided in Section 5.3) shall Seller be liable for consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages, or any other damages other than Third-Party Costs, and Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to seek or collect any such consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages, or any damages other than Third-Party Costs (such Third-Party Costs to be limited in all cases as provided above).  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Earnest Money if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the last date upon which Closing could have occurred.  “Intentional Seller Default” means any one or more of the following: (a) fraudulent misrepresentation, (b) criminal conduct (i.e. conduct that constitutes a felony under applicable law), or (c) an intentional and deliberate act of Seller taken on or after the Effective Date that results in Purchaser’s inability to consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement for a reason other than Purchaser’s default or the failure of any condition to Closing to be satisfied.  If the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available due to an Intentional Seller Default, Purchaser may seek any other right or remedy available at law or in equity; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller’s liability exceed $500,000.00.
6.3    Notice of Default; Opportunity to Cure.  Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be deemed to be in default hereunder until and unless such party has been given written notice of its failure to comply with the terms hereof and thereafter does not cure such failure within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice; provided, however, that this Section 6.3 (i) shall not be applicable to Purchaser's failure to deliver the Earnest Money or any portion thereof on the date required hereunder or to a party's failure to make any deliveries required of such party on the Closing Date and, accordingly, (ii) shall not have the effect of extending the Closing Date or the due date of any Earnest Money deposit hereunder.  
6.4    Recoverable Damages.  Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, in no

event shall the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 limit (i) either Purchaser's or Seller's obligation to indemnify the other party, or the damages recoverable by the indemnified party against the indemnifying  party due to, a party's express obligation to indemnify the other party in accordance with Section 3.1, 5.3, or 8.1(b) of this Agreement, or (ii) either party's obligation to pay costs, fees or expenses under Section 4.5 hereof, or the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to a party's failure to pay such costs.  In addition, if this Agreement terminates for any reason, other than a default by Seller hereunder for which Purchaser has elected to pursue the remedy of specific performance, and Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser asserts any claim or right to the Property related to such termination that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible, and marketable title to the Property, then Seller shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity with respect to such assertion by Purchaser and any actual loss, damage or other consequence suffered by Seller as a result of such assertion; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be liable for consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to seek or collect any such consequential, speculative, remote or punitive damages.
                                                                    ARTICLE 7     
RISK OF LOSS
7.1    Damage.  In the event of “damage” (as hereinafter defined) to the Property or any portion thereof, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof.  In the event of such major damage is “major” (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, at its sole option, elect to proceed with the Closing (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) or may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice respecting the damage.  If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Seller's notice respecting such major damage, Purchaser delivers written notice of termination of this Agreement to Seller, this Agreement shall terminate, all Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and, except for obligations of  the parties which survive termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement as a result of the damage and in such event, Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards paid or payable as a result of such damage and pay any insurance deductible due under Seller's insurance policy(ies).  If the damage is not major, Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards paid or payable as a result of such damage and pay any insurance deductible due under Seller's insurance policy(ies).  In the event the damage is not major and prior to Closing sufficient insurance proceeds are not received or committed in writing by the insurance carrier sufficient to repair any damage, Seller shall repair such damage by Closing or give Seller a credit at Closing in an amount sufficient to pay for the cost unpaid as of Closing for repair of the applicable damage (i.e. to restore the Property to substantially the same condition as immediately before such casualty), such amount to be determined by an architect or other appropriate professional selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Any assignment by Seller to Purchaser of insurance proceeds respecting loss of rental income shall   be limited to that portion of such proceeds attributable to periods after Closing.

(a)    “damage” means (i) physical damage to or destruction of all or part of the Real Property by reason of fire, earthquake, tornado, flood or other casualty occurring after the Effective Date or (ii) the physical taking of all or part of the Real Property by condemnation or by conveyance in lieu of condemnation occurring after the Effective Date; and 
(b)    “major” damage refers to the following:  (i) damage such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially similar to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, be equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and (ii) any damage due to a condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation which materially impairs the current use or value of a Property or access to such Property from public roads or the number or utility of parking spaces.  If Purchaser does not give notice to Seller of Purchaser's reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.  
7.3    Seller's Insurance.  If necessary or appropriate for Purchaser to evaluate its options or enforce its rights under this Article 7 following any damage to the Property, Seller shall promptly provide to Purchaser on request a copy of Seller's property insurance policies (or other applicable insurance policies) with respect to the Property.  
                                                                    ARTICLE 8

(b)    Purchaser and Seller each hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has not disclosed this Agreement or the subject matter hereof to, and has not otherwise dealt with, any real estate broker, agent or salesman (other than Broker) so as to create  any legal right or claim in any such broker, agent or salesman (other than Broker) for a real estate commission or similar fee or compensation with respect to the negotiation and/or consummation of this Agreement or the conveyance of the Property by Seller to Purchaser.  Except as provided in this Section 8.1 with respect to Broker, Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each other from and against any and claims and demands for a real estate brokerage commission or similar fee or compensation arising out of any claimed dealings with the indemnifying party and relating to this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs incurred in defending any such claim or in enforcing this indemnity).

ESCROW AGENT
10.1    Investment of Earnest Money.  Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money pursuant to Purchaser's directions, which may be in an interest bearing account at a commercial bank whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Escrow Agent shall notify Seller, no later than one (1) business day after Escrow Agent's receipt thereof, that Escrow Agent has received the Earnest Money in immediately available funds, and is holding the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.4    Exculpation of Escrow Agent.

34





10.5    Stakeholder.  Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Earnest Money.  If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Earnest Money or as to whom the Earnest Money is to be delivered, Escrow Agent may refuse to make any delivery and may continue to hold the Earnest Money until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by Seller and Purchaser, directing the disposition of the Earnest Money, or, in the absence of such written authorization, until final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate judicial proceeding.

                                                                  ARTICLE 11     
MISCELLANEOUS

Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser's auditor to conduct an audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which Closing occurs plus one (1) prior calendar year (provided, however, such audit shall not include an audit of management fees).  Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit.  In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including (without limitation) income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing.

35





Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser based on the results of any audit, or the lack of any information required to conduct such audit, unless the Purchaser’s inability to obtain such information is caused by Seller’s breach of its obligations under this Section 11.1.
11.2    Intentionally Deleted.  
11.3    Assignment.  Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement other than to a Permitted Affiliate without first obtaining Seller's written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller's sole discretion.  Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Purchaser in excess of 49% without Seller's written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, shall constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement, provided, however, (i) Purchaser may assign this Agreement at or prior to Closing to a Permitted Affiliate without Seller's consent, and (ii) Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement to a reputable exchange accommodation  to facilitate a tax deferred exchange pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof.  For purposes hereof, the term “Permitted Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled or managed by, or is under common control with Purchaser and/or those persons controlling and/or managing Purchaser and is solvent at the time of assignment and at the time of Closing, is not rendered insolvent by such assignment, and has sufficient assets to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.  No transfer or assignment by Purchaser shall release or relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.  
11.4    Notices.  Any notice, request or other communication (a “notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier (such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express), sent by facsimile (provided a copy of such notice is deposited with an overnight courier for next business day delivery) or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to each party at its address as set forth below.

Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice.  By giving at least five (5) days' prior written notice thereof, any party may from time to time and at any time change its mailing address hereunder.  Any notice of any party may be given by such party's counsel.  
The parties' respective addresses for notice purposes are as follows.  Telephone  numbers are given for convenience of reference only.  Notice by telephone shall not be effective.
