hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



 









 





     2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY



          Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase
from Seller all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following:



          (a) The Land, together with the Improvements;



          (b) All of Seller’s interest as lessor in all leases covering the Land and the Improvements

Improvements including, without limitation, all easements, rights-of-way and other appurtenances
used, connected with or inuring to the beneficial use or enjoyment of the Land and the

- 2 -









 





          (f) All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Assumed Loan (as hereinafter
defined).



     3. THE PURCHASE PRICE



          The purchase price for the Property is Twenty-Five Million Nine Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($25,929,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be paid to Seller as
follows:



          (a) Earnest Money.




          (i) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller a Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and in face amount
of one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price, or Two Hundred Fifty Nine Thousand Two Hundred
Ninety and No/100 Dollars ($259,290.00), which is referred to in this Agreement as the
“Earnest Money Note”. The Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser (A) in
the event of failure to close this transaction by reason of a default by Seller or if
Purchaser is expressly otherwise entitled to the return of the Earnest Money Note pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or (B) at Closing.




          (ii) If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Earnest
Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser and shall not be credited toward the Purchase
Price.



          (b) Payment at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price
less the outstanding balance of the Assumed Loan and plus or minus the adjustments and prorations
required by this Agreement (the “Net Purchase Price”). The Net Purchase Price shall be
paid in the form of limited partner units (the “OP Units”) in Purchaser, which OP Units
represent a limited partner interest in Purchaser with the rights and preferences



- 3 -









 




as set forth in Purchaser’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of
August 27, 2010, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Partnership
Agreement”) and which OP Units shall be paid to the beneficial interest holders in Seller (the
“Beneficial Owners”) as set forth herein. The total number of OP Units to be delivered by
Purchaser to the Beneficial Owners shall be determined by dividing the Net Purchase Price by nine
(9), and rounding up such number such that each Beneficial Owner shall receive a whole number of OP
Units. Seller shall notify Purchaser and certify to Purchaser as true and correct the percentage
ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner at or before Closing.




          (c) Notwithstanding that the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing and that the
Purchaser shall be irrevocably committed, as of Closing, to issue the OP Units in the amount
described in Section 3(b) above, the Purchase Price shall be paid to the respective
Beneficial Owners by issuance of the OP Units, on a rolling basis, if necessary, only upon
Purchaser’s receipt from Seller, on behalf of that particular Beneficial Owner, of the following:
(i) a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement executed by such Beneficial Owner,
(ii) an affidavit from such Beneficial Owner in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-1,
(iii) if such Beneficial Owner desires to enter into the Tax Protection Agreement, a counterpart
signature page to the Tax Protection Agreement executed by such Beneficial Owner in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H, (iv) an IRS Form W-9, (v) a limited power of attorney in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit N, and (vi) any other information or documents that may be
required by Article IX of the Partnership Agreement, provided, however, that any distributions that
otherwise would be payable to such Beneficial Owners during the period between the Closing and the
delivery of such documents and information shall be held by the Purchaser for the benefit of such
Beneficial Owners and be released to them simultaneously with



- 4 -









 




the issuance of OP Units to such Beneficial Owners. In the event that any particular
Beneficial Owner fails to deliver any of the foregoing documents within sixty (60) days following
the Closing, such Beneficial Owner shall become an economic interest holder in Purchaser, as
described in Section 9.01(c) of Purchaser’s Partnership Agreement, and the distributions held on
the Beneficial Owner’s behalf shall be distributed to such Beneficial Owner (subject in all events
to any applicable withholding taxes, including, but not limited to, FIRPTA withholding and federal
income tax backup withholding). Additionally, Seller shall request from each Beneficial Owner (and
Seller shall use diligent efforts to obtain from each Beneficial Owner and deliver to Purchaser) an
executed certification as to such Beneficial Owner’s tax basis in its interest in the Seller in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit G (which tax basis shall be as of the end of the tax year
reflected in the final income tax returns most recently filed by such Beneficial Owner with the
applicable taxing authorities). If any Beneficial Owner does not execute and deliver the
certification of tax basis in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G within sixty (60) days
following the Closing (but not later than the end of the calendar year of Closing), then such
Beneficial Owner shall be assumed to have no income tax basis in their beneficial interest in
Seller, and Purchaser will elect to use the “remedial method” of making Internal Revenue Code
Section 704(c) allocations as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) with respect to
the beneficial interest in Seller.




          (d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall assign to Purchaser
and Purchaser shall assume from Seller, the Assumed Loan.



     4. TITLE



          (a) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order, at
Purchaser’s expense, from Chicago Title Insurance Company (in such capacity, “Title
Insurer”), whose address is 5501 LBJ Freeway, Suite 200, Dallas, Texas 75240, Attention:



- 5 -









 




Debbie Moore, an owner’s title commitment on the Real Property and a commitment to endorse the
existing mortgagee policy for the Assumed Loan from the title insurance company that issued such
mortgagee policy (collectively, the “Commitment”), together with legible copies of all
documents relating to the title exceptions referred to in the Commitment.




          (b) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order, at
Purchaser’s own expense, an updated survey of the Real Property sufficient to enable Title Insurer
to issue an ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Survey”), showing lot lines and
monuments, building lines, easements both burdening and benefiting the Real Property, utilities,
including water and sewer lines to the point of connection with the public system, the Improvements
(including parking spaces), encroachments, if any, on the Real Property or over adjoining
properties, and other matters located on or affecting the Real Property, together with a
certificate as to whether the Real Property lies within a flood zone as determined by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Survey shall be certified as true and correct by
the surveyor for the benefit of Purchaser, the Purchaser’s lender and Title Insurer.



          (c) If the Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions to title objectionable to Purchaser, in
its sole discretion, as to the Property (except for the first mortgage lien encumbering the
Property and securing the loan from Deutsche Bank Berkshire Mortgage, Inc., d/b/a DB Berkshire
Mortgage, Inc. in the original principal sum of $21,200,000.00, of which $21,200,000.00 is
outstanding as of the Effective Date, which loan shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing (the
“Assumed Loan”)) Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the Title Commitment and the Survey to
Seller and shall so notify Seller within ten (10) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of
the latest to be received of the Commitment and the Survey (the “Title Objection Date”),
and Seller shall have ten (10) business days from the date of such



- 6 -









 




notice to have each such unpermitted exceptions to title removed, or to have the Title Insurer
commit to insure over such unpermitted exception, or to correct each such other matter. If within
such ten (10) business day period, Seller fails to have each such unpermitted exception removed,
insured over or corrected as aforesaid, Purchaser may elect within three (3) business days after
such ten (10) business day period, as its sole and exclusive remedy in such event, to either
(i) terminate this Agreement and immediately receive from Seller the Earnest Money Note, whereupon
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect (except for any obligations
which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), or (ii) elect to accept title to such
Property subject to such objectionable exception (with a right to deduct from the Purchase Price
any liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount up to an aggregate of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) whereupon such exception(s) which had been objected
to shall be deemed approved and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances. If Purchaser fails to
make either such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii). Any matters
disclosed by the Commitment or the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser on or before the Title
Objection Date (other than those relating to the Assumed Loan) shall be deemed approved by
Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances. If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall
deliver to the Title Company an affidavit required by the Title Company for an amendment to the
rights of parties in possession exception to “rights of apartment tenants in possession, as
apartment tenants only, pursuant to written but unrecorded rental or lease agreements”.

escrows or reserves held by Seller for maintenance and capital repairs to the Property is
$757,098.00 and the amount held for such purposes by the Assumed Loan Lender (as hereinafter
defined) is $202,090.00. Seller has received no written notice of any defaults under the Assumed
Loan Documents, and to Seller’s actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry or investigation), no
defaults are pending under the Assumed Loan Documents and no facts or circumstances exist which,
with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute a material default under the
Assumed Loan Documents. The Assumed Loan is a “qualified liability” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations section 1.707-5(a)(6) that was incurred more than two years prior to the Effective Date
and has encumbered the Property throughout the two-year period prior to the Effective Date.



          (j) Seller is not a foreign limited partnership, person or other entity within the meaning of

Seller will furnish to Purchaser, prior to the Closing, an affidavit in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L.



          (k) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that, as of the Closing, each of the
warranties and representations set forth in this Section 5 shall be true, complete and
correct in all material respects except for changes in the operation of the Property occurring
prior to Closing which are specifically permitted by this Agreement, and that all management
contracts pertaining to the Property shall be terminated (at no cost to Purchaser) at Closing
unless



- 12 -

discovers a material breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and made by
Seller, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement and
receive back the Earnest Money Note, and in the event such material breach is also intentional, a
reimbursement of Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees) up to a maximum of Two Hundred Fifty Nine Thousand Two Hundred Ninety and No/100 Dollars
($259,290.00) (the “Cap”), or (ii) waive such breach and proceed to Closing with no
reduction in the Purchase Price.




     6. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF PURCHASER



          (a) Purchaser is a limited partnership duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that this Agreement

determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser’s obligations or
covenants to Seller hereunder.



          (d) The issuance of the OP Units has been duly authorized, and when the OP Units are issued to
the applicable Beneficial Owners who have executed and delivered to Purchaser the documents
required by Section 3(c) hereof, such newly issued OP Units will be validly issued by
Purchaser and will be free and clear of liens and encumbrances (but shall be subject to the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement). The Partnership Agreement attached hereto is a true and
complete copy thereof. There are no pending or, to Purchaser’s actual knowledge (without any duty
of inquiry or investigation), threatened legal proceedings or actions against the Purchaser which
if adversely determined would have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s finances or assets as a
whole.

inspecting the Property, including for the purpose of allowing Assumed Loan Lender to examine or
inspect the Property, and such rights shall include the right to conduct a Phase I Environmental

interfere with the operations of Seller’s business on the Property or the rights of tenants, and
(ii) Purchaser maintains (and upon Seller’s request shall furnish to Seller a certificate of
insurance evidencing the same) insurance insuring Seller against loss by reasons of matters set

- 17 -









 




by or asserted against Seller involving either bodily injury or property damage in connection
with or arising out of the entry by Purchaser or its agents or representatives upon the Property,
either prior to or after execution and delivery of this Agreement and caused by Purchaser’s
employees, agents or independent contractors and the actions of such persons on the Property. In
the event any portion of the Property is or has been damaged or excavated by Purchaser, its
employees, agents or independent contractors, Purchaser agrees to return the Property to its

the event that Seller fails to grant its consent to such Phase II, or in the event that the lender
of the Assumed Loan (the “Assumed Loan Lender”) is not satisfied with the results of such
lender’s inspections, examinations and investigations of the Property within the Lender’s Approval
Period (as defined in Section 8(a)(i) below), then Purchaser may, as its sole remedy,
terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, and
neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except those that expressly
survive a termination of this Agreement.




          (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, including, without limitation, any
provision stating that this Agreement shall become null and void following a return or application
of the Earnest Money Note or any portion thereof, Purchaser’s obligations



- 18 -









 




under this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
and shall survive Closing.




          (d) Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights of inspection or
examination of the Property except as set forth herein, provided, however, that in no event shall
any discoveries or findings made during such inspections or examinations entitle Purchaser to
terminate this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein, it being the intent of the parties
hereto that, except as expressly set forth herein, Purchaser has no due diligence period under this
Agreement.



          (e) Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of those Contracts Purchaser desires Seller to
terminate not less than forty-five (45) days prior to Closing, and Seller shall arrange to
terminate those Contracts designated by Purchaser as of the Closing.



          (f) PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN
SECTION 5 OR OTHERWISE IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER IS SELLING AND PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE

REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FROM SELLER, ITS AGENTS,
OR BROKERS AS TO ANY MATTERS CONCERNING THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (i) the

Property or its operation with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances,
covenants, conditions and restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any
other person or entity, (vii) the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property
or the adjoining or neighboring property, (viii) the quality of any labor and materials used in any

          (g) Without limiting the above, except with respect to a breach by Seller of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof or Seller’s obligations
hereunder, or Seller’s fraud, Purchaser on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns waives
its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller’s affiliates,
Seller’s investment manager, the partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, officers, employees
and agents of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and
assigns, from any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses,
liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the physical
condition of the Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including, without
limitation, the Environmental Laws.



          (h) The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.

     8. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING



          (a) The following shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the
purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein (“Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent”):




          (i) Prior to the expiration of the period commencing on the Effective Date and
continuing for ninety (90) days thereafter (as such initial 90-day period may be extended by
Purchaser as provided below, the “Lender’s Approval Period”), Purchaser shall have
obtained, on terms acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, approval from the Assumed
Loan Lender for the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser, the assignment of the
Assumed Loan by Seller and the release of Seller or any guarantor of the Assumed Loan
affiliated with Seller from their respective obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents
from and after the Closing, and shall have delivered reasonably satisfactory written
evidence of the same to Seller (the “Assumption Approval”). The “Assumption
Approval” shall be deemed to include (1) the satisfactory completion by the Assumed Loan
Lender of all diligence investigations, inspections and tests, and (2) the full negotiation
and final approval of the Loan Assumption Documents (as defined below) by Purchaser, Seller
and the Assumed Loan Lender. Purchaser shall have the one-time right to extend the initial
90-day Lender’s Approval Period for an additional period of up to ninety (90) days, provided
that (A) Purchaser delivers written notice to Seller of its election to so extend the
initial 90-day Lender’s Approval Period five (5) business days prior to the expiration of
the initial 90-day Lender’s Approval Period (the “Extension Notice”), (B)
simultaneously with Purchaser’s delivery of the Extension Notice, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller an additional Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and in
the face amount of one percent (1%) of the



- 21 -









 







Purchase Price, or Two Hundred Fifty Nine Thousand Two Hundred Ninety and No/100
Dollars ($259,290.00) (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute
and be a part of the “Earnest Money Note” and shall be held by Seller pursuant to
the terms of Section 3 above), and (C) Assumed Loan Lender shall not have refused to
grant the Assumption Approval at any time prior to Purchaser’s delivery of the Extension
Notice. Seller agrees to cooperate with and to take all reasonable action to facilitate
Purchaser’s receipt of the Assumption Approval, however, Purchaser shall be solely
responsible to pay to Assumed Loan Lender any and all costs, fees and expenses required in
connection with the Assumed Loan assignment, assumption and release (other than Seller’s
legal fees to review the Loan Assumption Documents). Purchaser and Seller shall execute and
deliver at Closing, a loan assumption agreement and any other documents required in
connection with the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Loan and the release of Seller
and any guarantor affiliated with Seller on the terms reflected in the Assumption Approval,
in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller (the “Loan
Assumption Documents”). In the event that Seller or Purchaser fails to execute and
deliver the Loan Assumption Documents or the Assumed Loan Lender fails to approve the
assignment, assumption and release as aforesaid, either Seller or Purchaser shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than those obligations that expressly survive
termination) and Seller shall return the Earnest Money Note to Purchaser. Purchaser shall
apply to Assumed Loan Lender for Assumption Approval within sixty (60) days after the
Effective Date (the “Assumption Commencement”) and use good faith and diligent
efforts to obtain such consent from



- 22 -









 







the Assumed Loan Lender prior to the expiration of the Lender’s Approval Period;
provided, however, so long as Purchaser complies with its obligations under this
Section 8(a), in no event shall Purchaser have any liability for its failure to
achieve such consent.




          (ii) Prior to the expiration of the Lender’s Approval Period, the OP Units to be issued
to the Beneficial Owners pursuant to this Agreement, together with the OP Units to be issued
by Purchaser to the beneficial interest holders of the seven other Delaware statutory trusts
known as Mission Brentwood, DST, Mission Battleground Park, DST, Mission Briley Parkway,
DST, Mission Capital Crossing, DST, Mission Mayflower Downs, DST, Mission Preston Wood, DST,
and Mission Tanglewood, DST (collectively, the “Other DSTs”) in accordance with the
seven purchase and sale agreements of contemporaneous date herewith between Purchaser and
the Other DSTs shall have been duly registered (collectively, the “Registrations”)
pursuant to an effective registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and in each state or provincial jurisdiction where registration
is required in accordance with all applicable federal, state and provincial laws, rules and
regulations (each, a “Registration Statement” and collectively, the
“Registration Statements”). Purchaser agrees to use good faith and diligent efforts
to prepare and file the Registration Statements and to cause the Registration Statements to
be declared effective in each jurisdiction where required, and shall commence the process of
obtaining the Registrations within the Assumption Commencement. Seller agrees to provide
Purchaser and its auditor with reasonable assistance and cooperation, at no cost or expense
to Seller, in preparing the Registration Statements, including, without limitation, by
providing



- 23 -









 







Seller with access to any audited and unaudited financial statements previously
prepared by Seller and its auditors, bank statements, general ledgers, accountant’s work
papers, property records, and such other books and records as Purchaser may reasonably
request, and by providing an assurance or representation letter on Purchaser’s auditor’s
form and a response to the Audit Inquiry Letter (as defined below) from Seller’s counsel on
such counsel’s standard form of response to an audit inquiry letter, all in order to prepare
such Registration Statements (provided that in no event shall Seller or any affiliate of
Seller have any liability to Purchaser or its auditor for the assurances or representations
made therein). In the event that the Purchaser’s Condition Precedent contained in this
Section 8(a)(ii) is not satisfied prior to the expiration of the Lender’s Approval
Period, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon all rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than those
obligations that expressly survive termination) and Seller shall return the Earnest Money
Note to Purchaser. In the event that (a) the OP Units are duly registered pursuant to a
Registration Statement that has been declared effective by the SEC and by each other
jurisdiction where each of the Beneficial Owners reside, but the Registration Statement is
not yet effective in certain other jurisdictions where each of the beneficial owners of the
Other DSTs reside, and (b) Purchaser has received comments and feedback on the Registration
Statements from each jurisdiction such that Purchaser reasonably determines that material
changes will be required to the disclosure statement contained in the Registration Statement
before it will become effective in those remaining jurisdictions in accordance with the
laws, rules and regulations of each such jurisdiction, then Purchaser may elect to defer
Closing on the Property under this Agreement until such time as the



- 24 -









 







Registration Statements become effective in such other jurisdictions or the Purchaser
believes no further material changes will be required to the disclosure statement contained
in the Registration Statements. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Purchaser intend to
proceed to Closing as soon as reasonably practicable, and Purchaser will only defer Closing
to the extent it has a reasonable belief that material changes to the disclosure statement
contained in the Registration Statements will be required. Purchaser will provide regular
status updates to Seller with respect the effectiveness of the Registration Statements in
each jurisdiction, and, to the extent Purchaser believes a material change to the disclosure
statement contained in the Registration Statements will be required, Purchaser will share
any correspondence received from any jurisdiction on the issue and will discuss the issue
with Seller and explain the basis of Purchaser’s belief that such a material change will be
required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller understands and acknowledges that any
determination regarding the materiality of any change in or issue relating to the
Registration Statement shall be made by Purchaser.




          (iii) Immediately following the time that the Registration Statement filed with the SEC
and each applicable state or other jurisdiction is declared effective, Seller shall have
confirmed to Purchaser its acceptance of the Net Purchase Price in the form OP Units, which
acceptance shall be in Seller’s sole discretion.




          (iv) Title shall have been approved by Purchaser under Section 4 with Title
Insurer standing ready to issue an owner’s policy of title insurance (and an endorsement to
the existing mortgagee’s title insurance policy in the form required by the Assumed Loan
Lender) in the form customarily delivered in the State insuring Purchaser’s interest in the
Real Property, dated the day of the Closing, with liability in



- 25 -









 







the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and the
encumbrances related to the Assumed Loan, together with such endorsements as Purchaser
reasonably may require and as are available in the State in which the Real Property is
located (the “Title Policy”).




          (v) Seller shall have executed and delivered to Purchaser a certificate (the
“Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M updating the
representations and warranties of Seller through Closing, which Certificate Seller covenants
to deliver unless material new matters or knowledge of a material defect arises, in which
case Seller shall deliver a Certificate stating such matter. Purchaser may then (i) waive
such matter and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby or (ii) terminate this
Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities
hereunder and any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same and the
Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.




          (vi) There shall be no Hazardous Materials at the Property that were not shown in the
Phase I or Phase II (if applicable).



          In the event that any Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent is not satisfied, Purchaser shall give
written notice thereof to the Seller, and unless Purchaser waives such Purchaser’s Conditions
Precedent, this Agreement shall terminate and both Seller and Purchaser shall thereafter be
relieved from any and all liability under this Agreement except for the indemnification and hold
harmless provisions contained in Section 7, and the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to
Purchaser.



          (b) As a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations to consummate the purchase and sale
transaction contemplated herein (“Seller’s Conditions Precedent”),



- 26 -









 




(i) Purchaser shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant and
agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) Purchaser’s
representations, warranties and covenants shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
the Closing Date, (iii) Assumed Loan Lender shall have granted the Assumption Approval pursuant to
the terms of Section 8(a)(i) above, and (iv) Purchaser shall have obtained the
Registrations pursuant to the terms of Section 8(a)(ii) above. In the event that any
Seller’s Conditions Precedent are not satisfied, Seller shall give written notice thereof to the
Purchaser, and unless Seller waives such Seller’s Conditions Precedent, this Agreement shall
terminate and both Purchaser and Seller shall thereafter be relieved from any and all liability
under this Agreement except for the indemnification and hold harmless provisions contained in
Section 7.




     9. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF SELLER



          Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser, as follows:



          (a) Seller shall not enter into any Contract with respect to the Property which will survive
the Closing or will otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Property after the
Closing, unless Seller first shall have obtained Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser has not notified Seller within five
(5) business days of receipt of a request for approval of its decision, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have approved the matter.



          (b) The Existing Insurance Policies, or equivalent coverage, shall remain continuously in
force through the day of the Closing.



          (c) At all times prior to the Closing, Seller shall (i) operate and manage the Property in
substantially the same manner it presently operates and manages the Property (provided, however,
that Seller shall not be required to make any capital repairs to the Property or any component
thereof) and Seller, shall not make any withdrawals from any capital reserve



- 27 -









 




accounts in amounts in excess of $10,000.00 without providing written notice to Purchaser,
(ii) maintain all material present services, (iii) maintain the Property in good repair and working
order, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and (iv) perform when due all of Seller’s material
obligations under the Leases, the instruments securing any mortgage lien on the Property,
Contracts, Governmental Approvals and other agreements relating to the Property and otherwise in
accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Property. Prior
to and as of the Closing, Seller shall cause all vacant units to be made rent-ready and available
for occupancy based on standards and methods used by Seller prior to execution of this Agreement
and shall cause all appliances in all vacant units to be clean and in working order (the
“Appliance Standards”). Purchaser shall receive a credit of One Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($1,000.00) for each unit that became vacant on a date that is five (5) or more days prior
to Closing and that is not rent-ready (as reasonably determined by Purchaser based on standards
customary in the industry) and available for occupancy as of the day of Closing, provided that such
$1,000.00 shall not include any costs to cause the appliances to meet the Appliance Standards.
After full execution of this Agreement and until the Closing, Seller shall maintain all existing
personnel on the Property in their current employment positions at their current rates of
compensation. In the event of the Closing of the purchase of the Property, Purchaser shall not
retain the existing employees and management agents of Seller for the Property, and, accordingly,
on the Closing, Seller shall (i) cause all employment and management agreements respecting the
Property to be terminated, and deliver evidence of such termination to Purchaser, and (iii) remove
all employees and management personnel from the Property. Except for the obligation of Seller to
use its reasonable efforts to fully enforce the material obligations of Tenants under the Leases,
nothing contained in this Section 9(c) shall be deemed or construed as






- 28 -









 







imposing any obligations of such Tenants onto Seller. Seller shall terminate, as of the day
of the Closing, those of the Contracts designated in writing by Purchaser (no less than forty-five
(45) days prior to Closing) which may by their terms be so terminated. None of the Personal
Property shall be removed from the Real Property, unless replaced by Personal Property of equal or
greater utility and value unless such Personal Property has no value or use at the Property.




          (d) Seller shall pay or contest the same (with notice to Purchaser of any such contests) in
full, prior to the Closing, all bills and invoices for labor, goods, utility charges, material and
services of any kind relating to the Property.



          (e) Seller agrees to pay any brokerage or leasing fee or similar commission or other
compensation with respect to the Leases, if any (“Leasing Commissions”), which is or will
become due and payable prior to the Closing, except for lease renewals, or exercises of expansion
options, entered into after the date of this Agreement which shall be Purchaser’s obligation if the
Closing occurs. The amount of such fees or commissions due on an absolute basis prior to Closing
will be credited against the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing; provided, however,
that all such fees or commissions or other compensation due or payable after the Closing on an
absolute or contingent basis (including fees or commissions or other compensation with respect to
renewals, but only to the extent disclosed on Exhibit I) shall become obligations of
Purchaser after the Closing.



          (f) After the date hereof and prior to the Closing, (i) Seller shall not enter into any new
leases with respect to the Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent unless such new
leases are on Seller’s standard form residential lease, the rent and landlord concessions and
incentives are consistent with Seller’s current practices, and the leases are otherwise entered
into in the ordinary course of Seller’s business of leasing and operating the Property, (ii) except
for



- 29 -









 




leases described above, no part of the Property, or any interest therein, shall be alienated,
liened, encumbered or otherwise transferred, and (iii) Seller shall make all payments of principal
and interest required under any mortgages encumbering the Property due prior to the Closing.




          (g) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any change in any condition with respect to the
Real Property or of any event or circumstance which makes any representation or warranty of Seller
to Purchaser under this Agreement materially untrue or misleading, or any covenant of Seller under
this Agreement incapable or less likely of being performed.



          (h) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on a monthly basis until Closing updated operating
statements and Rent Rolls.



          (i) Seller shall not apply any tenant’s security deposit unless the tenant is out of its
premises as of Closing.



          (j) Seller shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty affecting the
Property.



          (k) Seller shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any violation issued in writing and received
by Seller by any governmental authorities with respect to the Property.



     10. SELLER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS



          At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the following, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser:

damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising in connection with the
Assigned Contracts and related to the period prior to the Closing and a comparable indemnity from
Purchaser relating to the period following the Closing, (ii) any and all guarantees and warranties
used or made in connection with the operation, construction, improvement, alteration or repair of

          (o) Any other documents, instruments or agreements called for hereunder which have not
previously been delivered and are reasonably necessary or required (A) by Title Insurer to issue
the Title Policy or (B) by the Assumed Loan Lender or Purchaser in connection



- 32 -









 




with the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser (including, the Loan Assumption
Documents), the release of Seller or any guarantor that is affiliated with Seller from all
obligations under the Assumed Loan from and after the Closing and the transfer from Seller to

or the Assumed Loan Lender) and security deposits related to the Leases.




     11. PURCHASER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS



          At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller:



          (a) An executed counterpart of the Contract Assignment.



          (b) An executed counterpart of the Lease Assignment.



          (c) The Purchase Price, net of prorations, by issuance of the OP Units in accordance with the
terms of Section 3(c) above.



          (d) Executed counterparts of the Loan Assumption Documents.



          (e) Reasonable proof of the authority of Purchaser’s signatories.

          (g) The documents necessary to transfer the OP Units to each Beneficial Owner that has
executed and delivered the documents required by Section 3(c).



          (h) Any other documents, instruments or agreements reasonably necessary to close the
transaction as contemplated by this Agreement or by the Assumed Loan Lender or Seller in connection
with the assignment of the Assumed Loan by Seller (including, the Loan Assumption Documents), the
release of Seller or any guarantor that is affiliated with Seller from all obligations under the
Assumed Loan from and after the Closing and the transfer from Seller



- 33 -









 




to Purchaser of any and all escrow or reserve accounts related to the Property (whether held
by Seller or the Assumed Loan Lender) and security deposits related to the Leases.




     12. PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS



          The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the day of the
Closing, except as otherwise specified:



          (a) Collected Rents and other charges, other than for Tenants who owe Delinquent Rents (as
hereinafter defined), shall be prorated by credit to Purchaser. Prepaid rents and other charges
shall be credited to Purchaser. The rent and all other sums which are due and payable to Seller by
any tenant but uncollected as of the Closing shall not be adjusted, but Purchaser shall cause the
rent and other sums for the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Seller if, as, and when
collected (but Purchaser shall not be required to take legal action for such amounts accruing prior
to the Closing). At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all rent, charges and
other amounts payable by tenants after the Closing with respect to which Seller is entitled to
receive a share under this Agreement, and any amount due and owing to Seller before the Closing by
tenants under the Leases which are unpaid on the date of Closing (such amounts are collectively
referred to herein as the “Delinquent Amounts”). Rental and other payments received by
Purchaser from tenants shall first be applied toward Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of collection, and then toward the payment of current rent
and other charges owed to Purchaser for periods after the Closing, and any excess monies received
shall be applied toward the payment of Delinquent Amounts; provided, however, that any rent
received by Purchaser from tenants who owe Delinquent Amounts during the month in which the Closing
occurs shall first be applied to the payment of such tenants’ Delinquent Amounts, if any, with
respect to the month in which the Closing occurs, and not toward the payment of rent and other
charges for previous or subsequent months.



- 34 -









 




Purchaser may not waive any Delinquent Amounts or modify a Lease so as to reduce amounts or
charges owed under Leases for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges
or amounts, without first obtaining the written consent of Seller. If a Delinquent Amount due
Seller is not paid by a tenant within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after Closing or (y) sixty
(60) days after billing therefor, Seller shall have the right to attempt to effect collection by
litigation or otherwise so long as Seller does not take any action which would affect such tenant’s
right to occupy its leased premises or terminate its lease. With respect to Delinquent Amounts
owed by tenants that are no longer tenants of the Property as of the date of Closing, Seller shall
retain all rights relating thereto.




          (b) The amount of all security and other Tenant deposits and interest due thereon, if any,
shall be transferred to Purchaser. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation, if any, to
pay security and other deposits to tenants under the Leases, to the extent that such deposits are
transferred to Purchaser at Closing. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless for the
amounts, if material, by which (i) the amount of security and other deposits (together with
interest due thereon as may be required by law or by the Lease), required to be held under the
terms of the Leases exceeds (ii) the amount actually transferred to Purchaser at Closing.



          (c) To the extent not covered by any tax escrows to be assigned to Purchaser at Closing
pursuant to Section 12(g) below, accrued general real estate, personal property and ad
valorem taxes and assessments for the current tax year shall be prorated on the basis of bills, if
available prior to the Closing, which shall be re-prorated after Closing on the basis of actual
bills received covering the period which includes the Closing Date.



- 35 -









 





          (d) Fuel, water and sewer service charges, and charges for gas, electricity, telephone and all
other utility and fuel charges, as well as all deposits to utility companies, governmental entities
or any other person shall be prorated ratably on the basis of the last ascertainable bills (and
reprorated upon receipt of the actual bills or invoices) to the extent not paid directly by tenants
under their respective Leases unless final meter readings and final invoices can be obtained. To
the extent practicable, Seller shall cause meters for utilities to be read not more than one (1)
day prior to the date of Closing.



          (e) Amounts due, commissions, up-front revenues and incentives, and prepayments under the
Contracts to be assigned to Purchaser. All amounts for services rendered or materials furnished
under the Contracts assumed by Purchaser and accruing after the Closing Date shall be the
responsibility of Purchaser.



          (f) Assignable license and permit fees paid on an annual or other periodic basis.



          (g) All escrow and reserve accounts (including without limitation, all capital improvement
reserves and taxes and insurance escrows) held by Assumed Loan Lender in connection with the
Assumed Loan and those held by Seller, if any, shall be assigned to Purchaser but there will be no
adjustment to the Purchase Price or proration thereof, other than a credit to Seller equal to the
amount, not to exceed $757,098.00, which is held by Seller on the Closing Date in its capital
improvement reserve for the Property and which is transferred to Purchaser as required herein.



          (h) Such other items that are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature (including,
without limitation, any utilities paid by Seller under the Leases) shall be prorated; provided,
however, that any insurance premiums shall not be prorated, but rather Seller



- 36 -









 




shall cancel the Existing Insurance Policies as of Closing (and seek a separate refund from
its insurer of any unearned premiums) and thereafter Purchaser shall obtain its own property
insurance in conformance with the Assumed Loan Documents.




          Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property and, therefore, entitled to the
income from the Property and responsible for the expenses of the Property for the entire day upon
which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of
days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Closing. To the extent information
necessary to make such prorations is not available at the Closing or is determined to be inaccurate
or incomplete after Closing, the amount of such prorations shall be subject to adjustment in cash
after the Closing as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. All prorations
shall otherwise be final. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to
make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing as to all items except tax
prorations, subject to mutual agreement to extend such sixty (60) day period, and with respect to
tax prorations, to the extent not covered by any tax escrows to be assigned to Purchaser at Closing
pursuant to Section 12(g) above, the parties shall make such adjustments upon receipt of
the actual tax bills covering the period in which the Closing Date occurs. Except as set forth in
this Section 12, all items of income and expense for the period prior to the Closing Date
will be for the account of Seller, and all items of income and expense for the period on and after
the Closing Date will be for the account of Purchaser, all as determined by the accrual method of
accounting. Bills received after the Closing Date which relate to expenses incurred, services
performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by
Seller.



- 37 -









 





          (i) Amounts on deposit with utility companies shall be credited to Seller at Closing, and
promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall inform such utilities of such change in ownership
of the Property. Seller shall, from and after the Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, have
control over any ongoing tax appeals as to the Property that were commenced prior to the Closing
and that pertain solely to the periods that Seller owned the Property. Seller shall, as
applicable, retain all proceeds or reductions obtained from such appeals or pay all additional
taxes or delinquencies imposed for such periods. Seller shall keep Purchaser informed as to any
such appeals.



     13. CLOSING



          The “Closing” of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (that is, the payment
of the Purchase Price by issuing or becoming irrevocably committed to issue, as applicable, the OP
Units, the return to Purchaser of the Earnest Money Note, the transfer of title to the Property,
and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions of this Agreement) shall occur in escrow by
each party delivering their respective documents and funds to the Title Insurer with closing
instructions consistent with this Agreement, or if deemed to be necessary, at 10:00 a.m. local time
at the offices of the Title Insurer (or at such other location as agreed upon by the parties) on
the date that is five (5) business days after the satisfaction of all Purchaser’s Conditions
Precedent and Seller’s Conditions Precedent. The “Closing Date” shall be the date of
Closing. Within ninety (90) days following Closing, Purchaser shall re-name the Property so as to
exclude any reference to “Mission” or any derivation thereof, as applicable, unless Grubb & Ellis
Property Management TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Purchaser,
Mission Residential Management, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, MR Holdings, LLC, a
Virginia limited liability company, Forward Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and
Christopher C. Finlay, an individual resident of the Commonwealth of



- 38 -









 




Virginia, all affiliates of Seller, shall have closed under that certain Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of the Effective Date. Purchaser may continue to use the name “Mission” or any
derivation thereof with respect to the Property during such 90-day period, and if requested by
Purchaser, Seller agrees to grant a license to Purchaser, at not cost to Purchaser, to use the name
“Mission” or any derivation thereof with respect to the Property during such 90-day period.




     14. CLOSING COSTS



          Purchaser shall pay the cost of the Title Policy and its lender’s title policy and/or
endorsement, the Survey, all transfer and recordation taxes and fees, all of the Title Insurer’s
closing fees (including those for a “New York Style” closing) and recording fees. Seller shall be
responsible for all accrued taxes of Seller prior to Closing and income taxes and other such taxes
of Seller attributable to the sale of the Property to Purchaser. Purchaser shall be solely
responsible for all costs associated with assuming the Assumed Loan, including, without limitation,
paying all assumption and review fees, costs and expenses, if any. Each party shall bear the
expense of its own counsel. In addition, all costs of Purchaser’s due diligence activities
incurred prior to the Effective Date, including any engineering, environmental reports and lease
and expense audits, as well as the cost of any examinations or inspections pursuant to
Section 7 above, shall be paid by Purchaser.



     15. LOSS BY FIRE, OTHER CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION



          (a) In the event that prior to the Closing, the Improvements, or any part thereof, are
destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in Section 15(e)), Purchaser shall have the
right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) business days after receiving
written notice of such damage or destruction, either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any indemnification
obligations of Purchaser, any documents shall be returned to the party depositing



- 39 -









 




the same and the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to accept the
Improvements in their then condition and to proceed with the Closing with an abatement or reduction
in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage, and to
receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such
damage or destruction. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Seller shall not
compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds without Purchaser’s prior written consent.




          (b) In the event that prior to the Closing there is any non-material damage to the
Improvements, or any part thereof, Seller shall repair or replace such damage prior to the Closing.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event Seller is unwilling or unable to repair or
replace such damage, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact (“Seller’s Notice”) and
Purchaser thereafter shall have the right, exercisable by giving Seller notice within fifteen (15)
business days after receiving Seller’s Notice either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any indemnification
obligations of Purchaser, any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same and the
Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to accept the Improvements in their then
condition with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for
the applicable insurance coverage and proceed with the Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be
entitled to an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to insurance proceeds payable by reason of such
non-material damage. For purposes of contemplating any repairs or replacements under this
Section 15(b), the Closing may be extended for a reasonable time to allow such repairs or
replacements to be made by Seller.



- 40 -









 





          (c) In the event that prior to the Closing, all or any material portion (as defined in
Section 15(e)) of the Land and Improvements are subject to a taking by public authority,
Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) business
days after receiving written notice of such taking, either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in
which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any
indemnification obligations of Purchaser, any documents shall be returned to the party depositing
the same and the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to accept the Land and
Improvements in their then condition, without a reduction in the Purchase Price, and to receive an
assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any condemnation award payable by reason of such taking.
If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or
adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s prior written consent.



          (d) In the event that prior to the Closing, any non-material portion of the Land or
Improvements is subject to a taking, Purchaser shall accept the Property in its then condition and
proceed with the Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to an assignment of all of
Seller’s rights to any award in connection with such taking. In the event of any such non-material
taking, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s
prior written consent.



          (e) For the purpose of this Section 15, damage to the Improvements or a taking of a
portion thereof shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if the reasonably estimated
cost of restoration or repair of such damage or the amount of the condemnation award with respect
of such taking shall exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), or if the number
of parking spaces is reduced or if the entrances and entrance signs are relocated.



- 41 -









 





          (f) Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any taking, damage or destruction of the
Land or Improvements.



          (g) The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing.



     16. DEFAULT



          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if after Seller
materially breaches a representation or warranty of Seller hereunder or defaults under the terms of
this Agreement, at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may elect as its sole remedy (i) to terminate this
Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall
have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those that expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement, and in the event such material breach is also intentional, Seller
shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) up to the Cap, or (ii) Purchaser may sue Seller for specific
performance of the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Purchaser
defaults under the terms of this Agreement, the Earnest Money Note shall become due and payable to
Seller as liquidated damages, which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity
against Purchaser, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement
except those that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser
acknowledge and agree that (1) the Earnest Money Note is a reasonable estimate of and bears a
reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a
result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a
default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (2) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred by
Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Purchaser



- 42 -









 




under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (3) Purchaser
seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money Note in the
event this Agreement is terminated and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not
close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; and (4) the Earnest Money Note shall be
and constitute valid liquidated damages and not a penalty.




     17. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED



     18. BROKERS



          (a) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is liable for, and agrees to pay at Closing, a
brokerage commission to FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) pursuant to the terms of that
certain agreement entered into by FBR and an affiliate of Seller on January 29, 2010, as amended by
that certain first amendment to engagement letter dated August 21, 2010. Seller represents and
warrants to Purchaser that no other brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other compensation is
due or payable by reason of the actions of Seller with respect to the transaction contemplated
hereby. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser by reason of any
breach or inaccuracy of the representation and warranty contained in this Section 18(a).



          (b) Except as provided above, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has
not entered into any agreement or incurred any obligation which might result in the obligation to
pay any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other compensation with respect to the transaction
contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any
losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller by reason of any
breach or inaccuracy of the representation and warranty contained in this Section 18(b).



- 43 -









 





          (c) The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the Closing.



     19. MISCELLANEOUS

subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to the
matters contained in this Agreement. Any waiver, modification, consent or acquiescence with
respect to any provision of this Agreement shall be set forth in writing and duly executed by or in
behalf of the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any party of any breach hereunder shall be
deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.



          (c) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The signature page of any counterpart may be detached therefrom without impairing the
legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other
counterpart identical thereto except having additional signature pages executed by other parties to
this Agreement attached thereto.



          (d) Any communication, notice or demand of any kind whatsoever which either party may be
required or may desire to give to or serve upon the other shall be in writing and delivered by
personal service (including express or courier service), by overnight courier or by registered or

Any party may change its address for notice by written notice given to the other in the manner
provided in this Section. Any such communication, notice or demand shall be deemed to have been

          (e) The parties agree to execute such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.



          (f) The making, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto has been
induced by no representations, statements, warranties or agreements other than those expressly set
forth herein.



          (g) Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner
as to be valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
prohibited thereunder, such invalidity or prohibition shall be construed as if such invalid or
prohibited provision had not been inserted herein and shall not affect the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.



          (h) The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply
according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Section
headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not govern the
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.



          (i) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State.



- 45 -









 





          (j) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties
hereto and to their respective transferees, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that
neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of Seller hereunder shall be
transferred or assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser except in
connection with like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that
no such assignment shall relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder. Purchaser shall have the
right to assign all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Seller (but with prior written notice to Seller) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Purchaser, to an entity managed or controlled by Purchaser or to an affiliate of Purchaser,
provided that no such assignments shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.



          (k) All Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference.



          (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be
deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, or to render either
party liable for any of the debts or obligations of the other, it being the intention of the
parties to merely create the relationship of seller and purchaser with respect to the Property to
be conveyed as contemplated hereby.



          (m) This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the public land or other public records
of any jurisdiction by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a
breach of this Agreement.



          (n) During the period from the date of execution of this Agreement until the Closing or this
Agreement is terminated, Seller agrees not to market the Property for sale, accept any offer for
purchase, offer the Property for joint venture, apply for any financing, divulge to any potential
purchaser or joint venturer or lender any written material with respect to the



- 46 -









 




Property nor divulge nor communicate in any way to any potential purchaser or joint venturer
or lender with respect to the Property, any information with respect to the Property.




          (o) Unless provided to the contrary in any particular provision, all time periods shall refer
to calendar days and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last of such days; provided,
however, that if the time for the performance of any obligation expires on a day which is not a
“business day” (which term shall mean a Saturday, Sunday and days on which banks in the
state where the Property is located are closed), the time for performance shall be extended to the
next business day.



          (p) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is a subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc.
(“Parent”), a publicly registered company that is required to disclose the existence of
this Agreement upon full execution and to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year
(the “Audited Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the
“Stub Period”) for the Property. To assist Parent in preparing the SEC Filings, Sellers
agree to (a) deliver an audit inquiry letter regarding pending litigation and other matters in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit S (the “Audit Inquiry Letter”) to Sellers’ counsel
prior to Closing, and (b) provide Parent with the following within thirty (30) days after the
Closing: (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (ii) Rent Roll as of
the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period, (iii) operating statements for the Audited Year and
Stub Period (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (v) cash
receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (vi) access to invoices for
expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (vii) accounts payable
ledger and accrued expense reconciliations in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (viii) check
register for the three



- 47 -









 




(3) months following the Audited Year and Stub Period, (ix) copies of all insurance
documentation for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (x) copies of accounts receivable aging as of
the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period along with an explanation for all accounts over thirty
(30) days past due as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period, (xi) an executed assurance or
representation letter from Seller to Parent’s auditor on such auditor’s form (provided that in no
event shall Seller have any liability to Purchaser, Parent or such auditor for the assurances or
representations made therein, but Seller shall reasonably cooperate, at no cost or expense to
Seller, in connection with such audit, including, if required by Parent’s auditor, answering a
standard SAS 99 questionnaire from such auditor), and (xii) an executed letter from Seller’s
counsel in response to the Audit Inquiry Letter on such counsel’s standard form of response to an
audit inquiry letter. The provisions of the foregoing two (2) sentences shall survive the Closing
for a period of 180 days.




          (q) In the event of a default by either party of its obligations under this Agreement, the
prevailing party in any action or proceeding in any court in connection therewith (including any
action for specific performance) shall be entitled to recover from such other party its costs and
expenses, including reasonable legal fees and associated court costs.



          (r) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate any of the parties hereto, to
any person or entity other than the parties hereto.



          (s) The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a
waiver of any future breach of any such provision or any other provision hereof.

ACT. 



     All capitalized words and phrases and all defined terms used in the USA Patriot Act of 2001,
107 Public Law 56 (October 26, 2001) (as amended, the “Patriot Act”) and in other statutes
and all orders, rules and regulations of the United States government and its various executive
