  Seller agrees to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

2.2       Purchase Price and Deposit.

  The total purchase price for the Property shall be Sixteen Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand ($16,850,000) Dollars (the “
Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows:

2.2.1    Prior to the date hereof, Purchaser has delivered to Stewart Title Guaranty Company c/o Wendy Howell, National Commercial Closing Specialist, 1980 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 610, Houston, Texas 77056 (tel) 800-729-1906, (fax) 713-552-1703  (“

2.2.2    Intentionally omitted.
 
2.2.3    At the Closing, subject to the occurrence of the Loan Assumption and Release, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest (if any) thereon, as of the Closing Date (the “

2.2.4    At the Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the AIMCO Loan.

2.2.5    The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid to and received by Escrow Agent by wire transfer of Good Funds no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date.

2.3       Escrow Provisions Regarding Deposit.

2.3.1    Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit and make delivery of the Deposit to the party entitled thereto under the terms of this Contract.  Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in such short-term, high-grade securities, interest-bearing bank accounts, money market funds or accounts, bank certificates of deposit or bank repurchase contracts as Escrow Agent, in its discretion, deems suitable, and all interest and income thereon shall become part of the Deposit and shall be remitted to the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Contract.

2.3.2    Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the earlier occurrence of (i) the Closing Date, at which time the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price, or released to Seller pursuant to
Section 10.1, or (ii) the date on which Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Deposit as set forth in
Section 2.3.3.  The tax identification numbers of the parties shall be furnished to Escrow Agent upon request.

2.3.3    If prior to the Closing Date, either party makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand.  If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within 5 Business Days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment.  If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such 5 Business Day period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties to this Contract or a final judgment or arbitrator’s decision.  However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deliver the Deposit and interest thereon, if any, with a court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is located.  Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser.  Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.  Any return of the Deposit to Purchaser provided for in this Contract shall be subject to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in
Section 3.4.2.
 2.3.4    The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, and that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith in willful disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence.  Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to
actions or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

2.3.5    The parties shall deliver to Escrow Agent an executed copy of this Contract.  Escrow Agent shall execute the signature page for Escrow Agent attached hereto which shall confirm Escrow Agent’s agreement to comply with the terms of Seller’s closing instruction letter delivered at Closing and the provisions of this

Code”), shall file all necessary information, reports, returns, and statements regarding the transaction required by the Code including, but not limited to, the tax reports required pursuant to Section 6045 of the Code.  Further, Escrow Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser, Seller, and their respective attorneys and brokers harmless from and against any Losses resulting from Escrow Agent’s failure to file the reports Escrow Agent is required to file pursuant to this section.

ARTICLE III

3.1       Access Rights.

  Subject to the terms of Sections  3.3 and 3.4 and the rights of Tenants under the Leases, Purchaser, and its agents, contractors, engineers, surveyors, attorneys, and employees (collectively, “
Consultants”) shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, have the right from time to time to enter onto the Property to conduct and make any and all customary studies, tests, examinations, inquiries, inspections and investigations of or concerning the Property, review the Materials and otherwise confirm any and all matters which Purchaser may reasonably desire to confirm with respect to the Property and Purchaser’s intended use thereof (collectively, the “
Inspections”).  In no event, however, shall Purchaser have any right to terminate this Contract if Purchaser is not satisfied with the results of such Inspections.

3.2       Conduct of Inspections.

  Purchaser shall not permit any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party in connection with any Inspections conducted by or for Purchaser.  Purchaser shall give reasonable advance notice to Seller prior to any entry onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all Inspections conducted at the Property.  Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the Inspections, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons, property or the environment.

3.3       Purchaser Indemnification.

 
Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Seller (in Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by Seller) Seller, together with Seller’s affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives, agents, Designated Employees, and AIMCO (collectively, including Seller, “
Seller’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all damages, mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens, liabilities, penalties, interest, losses, demands, actions, causes of action, 
claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including the cost of in-house counsel and appeals) (collectively, “
Losses”) arising from or related to Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ entry onto the Property, and any Inspections or other acts by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Consultants with respect to the Property during the Feasibility Period or otherwise.  Purchaser shall not be held liable for any Losses occurring during the period prior to the Closing Date unless such Losses arise from or are related to Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ entry onto the Property, and any Inspections or other acts by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Consultants with respect to the Property.
  Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on the Property.  

3.4       Property Materials. 

3.4.1    Within 10 days after the Effective Date, and to the extent the same exist and are in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to
Section 3.5.2), and have not been heretofore provided by Seller to Purchaser, Seller agrees to make the documents set forth on
Schedule 4 (together with any other documents or information provided by Seller or its agents to Purchaser with respect to the Property, the “
Materials”) available at the Property for review and copying by Purchaser at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  In the alternative, at Seller’s option and within the foregoing time period, Seller may deliver some or all of the Materials to Purchaser, or make the same available to Purchaser on a secure web site (Purchaser agrees that any item to be delivered by Seller under this Contract shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Purchaser on such secured web site).  To the extent that Purchaser determines that any of the Materials have not been made available or delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 3.5.1, Purchaser shall notify Seller and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the same to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after such notification is received by Seller; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the Feasibility Period be extended and Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Contract pursuant to
Section 3.2.
 
3.4.2    In providing the Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller’s Representations, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed.  All Materials are provided for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to Seller or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Seller as a condition to return of the Deposit to Purchaser if this Contract is terminated for any reason.  Recognizing that the Materials delivered or made available by Seller pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily and reasonably available to Seller, Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the completeness or accuracy of the Materials and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own Inspections and Consultants with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Property.  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Materials other than the express representation set forth in
Section 6.1.5.
 
3.4.3    In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 4, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided under
Section 3.5.1) the most recent rent roll for the Property listing the move-in date, monthly base rent payable, lease expiration date and unapplied security deposit for 
each Lease (the “Rent Roll”).  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Rent Roll other than the express representation set forth in
Section 6.1.6.  
 
3.4.4    In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 4, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, and to the extent same have not been heretofore provided by Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided under
Section 3.5.1) a list of all current Property Contracts (the “Property Contracts List”).  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Property Contracts List other than the express representations set forth in
Section 6.1.7.
 
3.5       Property Contracts.

  Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts at the Closing.  To the extent that any Property Contract to be assigned to Purchaser requires vendor consent, then, prior to the Closing, Purchaser may attempt to obtain from each applicable vendor a consent (each, a “
Required Assignment Consent”) to such assignment.
 
ARTICLE IV

TITLE
 
4.1       Title Documents.

  Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has received from Title Insurer a commitment for owner’s title insurance, file no. 08330233 with regard to the Property (“
Title Commitment”) to provide an American Land Title Association owner’s title insurance policy for the Property, using the current policy jacket customarily provided by the Title Insurer, in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “
Title Policy”), together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with the Title Commitment, referred to herein as the “
Title Documents”).  Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of (a) one-half of the premiums for the Title Policy and (b) all other costs relating to procurement of the Title Commitment and any requested endorsements.  Seller shall be responsible for one-half of the premiums for the Title Policy.

4.2       Survey.

  Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of the existing survey of the Property dated June 9, 2008, prepared by American Surveying Inc. (the “
Existing Survey”).  Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, order a new or updated survey for the Property either before or after the Effective Date (such new or updated survey, together with the Existing Survey, is referred to herein as the “
Survey”).
 
4.3       Intentionally Omitted. 

4.4       Permitted Exceptions.

  The Deed delivered pursuant to this Contract shall be subject to the following, all of which shall be deemed “
Permitted Exceptions”:
 4.4.1    (a) All matters set forth on
Schedule 5 to this Contract ,(b) the title exceptions that Title Insurer shall be willing to (i) omit as exceptions to coverage or (ii) except with affirmative insurance (at no cost to Purchaser) against collection out of or enforcement against the Property with respect to the Title Policy, and omit as exceptions to coverage with respect to any lender’s mortgage insurance policy, (c) the standard exception regarding the rights of parties in possession which shall be limited to those parties in possession pursuant to the
Leases, and (d) any exceptions and matter that are approved, waived or deemed to have been approved or waived by Purchaser under this Contract.

4.4.2    The standard exception pertaining to taxes which shall be limited to taxes and assessments payable in the year in which the Closing occurs and subsequent taxes and assessments;

4.4.3    All Leases;

4.4.4    The Assumed Encumbrances;

4.4.5    The AIMCO Loan;

4.4.6    Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances;

4.4.7    Any defects in title to the Property, or title exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through or under Purchaser; and

4.4.8    The terms and conditions of this Contract.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any monetary liens or judgments (except as provided in
Sections 4.4.2, 4.4.4 and 4.4.5) affecting the Property be considered a Permitted Exception, unless expressly agreed to in writing by Purchaser.

4.5       Purchaser’s Rights in Respect of Seller Inability to Remove Title Exceptions.

  If Seller shall be unable to cause title to the Property to be subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser shall not, prior to the Closing Date, give notice to Seller that Purchaser is willing to waive objection to each title exception which is not a Permitted Exception and close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price, credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise, then Seller shall have the right, at Seller’s sole election, to either (1) take such action as Seller shall deem advisable to discharge each such title exception which is not a Permitted Exception or (2) terminate this Contract.  If Seller shall elect to take action to discharge each such title exception which is not a Permitted Exception, including pursuant to
Section 4.6 below, then Seller shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the scheduled Closing Date set forth in
Section 5.1 for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate, and the Closing shall be adjourned to a date specified by Seller not beyond such thirty (30) day period.   If, for any reason whatsoever, excluding willful default, Seller shall not have succeeded in discharging each such title exception at the expiration of such adjournment(s) and if Purchaser shall not, prior to the expiration of the last of such adjournments, give notice to Seller that Purchaser is willing to waive objection to each such title exception and to close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price, credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise, then this Contract shall be deemed to be terminated as of the last date to which the Closing Date was adjourned by Seller pursuant to this
Section 4.5.  No action taken by Seller to discharge, or attempt to discharge, any purported title exception shall be an admission that any such purported title exception is not a Permitted Exception.  If Seller elects to proceed under (2) above, then Purchaser shall have the right, by notice to be given within three (3) Business Days
after Seller elects to terminate this Contract, to cancel such termination, waive the objection and close title subject thereto without any adjustment to the Purchase Price.

4.6       Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions.

  If at any time after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, an update to the Title Commitment discloses any additional item that materially adversely affects title to the Property which was not disclosed on any version of, or update to, the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser during the Feasibility Period (the “
New Exception”), Purchaser shall have a period of 5 days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “
New Exception Review Period”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception.  If Purchaser disapproves of the New Exception, then Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser as to whether it is willing to cure the New Exception.  If Seller elects to cure (or cause the Title Insurer to omit as an exception to title insurance coverage or otherwise insure against collection against the Property) the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the New Exception.  If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Purchaser within 3 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception.  If Purchaser is dissatisfied with Seller’s response, or lack thereof, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect either:  (i) to terminate this Contract, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to waive the New Exception and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception.  If Purchaser fails to notify the Seller of its election to terminate this Contract in accordance with the foregoing sentence within 6 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception.

4.7       Assumed Encumbrances.

4.7.1    Purchaser recognizes and agrees that, in connection with the Loan made by Lender, the Property is encumbered by the Assumed Deed of Trust and the Assumed Encumbrances.  The Loan is evidenced by the Note.  Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of the Assumed Loan Documents which are in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to
Section 3.5.2).
 
4.7.2    Purchaser agrees that, at the Closing, (a) Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations under the Note and all of the other Assumed Loan Documents and accept title to the Property subject to the Assumed Deed of Trust and the Assumed Encumbrances,
and (b) the Lender shall release Seller, as well as any guarantors and other obligated parties under the Assumed Loan Documents, from all obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents (and any related guarantees or letters of credit), including, without limitation, any obligation to make payments of principal and interest under the Note (collectively, the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “
Loan Assumption and Release”).  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (x) certain of the provisions of the Assumed Loan Documents may have been negotiated for the exclusive benefit of Seller, AIMCO or their respective affiliates (the “
Specific AIMCO Provisions”), and (y) unless the Lender otherwise agrees in Lender’s sole and arbitrary discretion, Purchaser will not be permitted to assume the benefit of the Specific AIMCO Provisions and the same shall be of no further force or effect from and after the Closing Date.

4.7.3    Purchaser further acknowledges that the Assumed Loan Documents require the satisfaction by Purchaser of certain requirements as set forth therein to allow for the Loan Assumption and Release.  Accordingly, Purchaser represents to Seller that, prior to Effective Date, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, has submitted an initial application to the Lender for the assumption of the Loan, together with all documents and information required in connection therewith (the “
Loan Assumption Application”) and that prior to the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period, shall satisfy any other requirements set forth in the Assumed Loan Documents to allow for the Loan Assumption and Release.  Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with a copy of the Loan Assumption Application and any additional deliveries made to Lender no later than five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is solely responsible for the preparation and submittal of the Loan Assumption Application, including the collection of all materials, documents, certificates, financials, signatures, and other items required to be submitted to Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption Application; provided however, Seller agrees to cooperate in good faith and promptly comply with any reasonable requests made by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to properly prepare and submit the Loan Assumption Application and to effectuate and obtain the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.7.4    Purchaser shall comply with Lender’s assumption guidelines in connection with the Loan Assumption and Release and, if required by the Lender, Purchaser shall cause such other person or entity reasonably acceptable to the Lender (the “
Guarantor”), to execute and deliver a customary “non-recourse carve-out” guaranty and customary environmental indemnity in favor of Lender.  Purchaser shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for correcting and re-submitting any deficiencies noted by Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption Application promptly after notification from Lender of such deficiency.  Purchaser acknowledges that Lender’s assumption guidelines may not be consistent with the provisions of the Assumed Loan Documents concerning the Loan Assumption and Release.  Purchaser shall coordinate with the Lender to comply with the provisions of both the Assumed Loan Documents and Lender’s assumption guidelines in order to allow for the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.7.5    Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, all servicing fees and charges, transfer fees, assumption fees, title fees, endorsement fees, and other fees to release Seller of all liability under the Loan) imposed or charged by the Lender or its counsel (such fees and expenses collectively being referred to as the “
Assumption Lender Fees”), in connection with the Loan Assumption Application and the Loan Assumption and Release.  The provisions of this
Section 4.7.5 shall survive the termination of this Contract and the Closing.
 
4.7.6    Seller shall assign all of its right, title and interest in and to all reserves, impounds and other accounts held by Lender in connection with the Loan, and at Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller in an amount equal to the balance of such reserves, impounds and accounts so assigned.  Additionally, Purchaser shall be responsible for funding any additional or increased reserves, impounds or accounts required by Lender to be maintained by Purchaser in connection with the Loan after the Loan Assumption and Release (the “
Required Loan Fund Amounts”).
 
4.7.7    Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender all documents and information required by the Assumed Loan Documents, and such other information or documentation as Lender reasonably may request, including, without limitation, financial statements, income tax returns and other financial information for Purchaser and any required guarantor.  Seller agrees that it will cooperate with Purchaser and Lender, at no cost or expense to Seller, in connection with Purchaser’s application to Lender for approval of the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.7.8    If required by Lender, no later than 10 days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order a Phase I Environmental study and a Property Condition Assessment Report for the Property (prepared by an environmental engineer/engineering firm reasonably acceptable to Lender), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be delivered to Seller and Lender no later than 10 days prior to the Closing Date in connection with and as a precondition to the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.7.9    Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release on or before the date which is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (the “
Loan Assumption Approval Period”). 
 4.7.9.1 If Purchaser does not obtain the consent of the Lender to the Loan Assumption and Release on or before the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period, then Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable on or before the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period, to give Escrow Agent notice terminating this Contract based solely on the fact that the Loan Assumption and Release has not been approved by the Lender. If Purchaser timely exercises such termination right, then (i) the Non-refundable Deposit shall be paid to Seller as consideration for Seller entering into this Contract, (ii) the remainder of the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser and (iii) this Contract shall be of no further force and effect, subject to and except for the Survival Provisions.

4.7.9.2 If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period in accordance with the terms of this
Section 4.7.9, then Purchaser's right to terminate this Contract under this Section 4.7.9 shall be permanently waived, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect, and Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate this Contract on account of Purchaser’s inability or failure to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release. 

4.8       AIMCO Purchase Money Loan.

4.8.1    At the Closing, and subject to the provisions of
Sections 4.8.3 and 4.8.4 below, Seller shall make, or cause an affiliate of Seller (the entity making the AIMCO Loan being herein called
“AIMCO Lender”) to make, a loan to Purchaser (the “AIMCO Loan”) in the principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), which loan shall be made by the AIMCO Lender to Purchaser on the following terms:
(a) monthly payments of interest only shall be due at an interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the Closing Date through [September 1, 2012], (b) the outstanding principal balance of the AIMCO Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on
[September 1, 2012] and (c) the AIMCO Loan shall be secured by a second lien mortgage on the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

4.8.2    At the Closing, Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the AIMCO Lender (or cause to be so executed and delivered, as the case may be) the following loan documents for the AIMCO Loan (the “
AIMCO Loan Documents”):  
 4.8.2.1 a promissory note executed by the Purchaser in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I, evidencing the AIMCO Loan;
 4.8.2.2 a mortgage executed by the Purchaser in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J, securing the AIMCO Loan (the “AIMCO Loan Security Instrument”); 

4.8.2.3 a non-recourse carveout guaranty executed by the Guarantor in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit K;
 4.8.2.4 an environmental indemnity agreement executed by the Guarantor in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit L; 
 4.8.2.5 an opinion letter from counsel to Purchaser, substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit M;  and 
 4.8.2.6 such other consents or authorizing documents as the AIMCO Lender may reasonably request to evidence that the AIMCO Loan Documents have been duly authorized by the Purchaser and the Guarantor. 

4.8.3    At the Closing Purchaser shall pay all mortgage recording taxes and recording fees incident to the recording of the AIMCO Loan Security Instrument and the filing fees for any financing statements delivered in connection therewith.  In addition, Purchaser, at its expense, shall at the Closing obtain for the AIMCO Lender a lender’s policy of title insurance from the Title Insurer, insuring the AIMCO Loan Security Instrument as a second priority mortgage lien on the Property (subject only to the Permitted Exceptions).  Purchaser shall be responsible for all fees and expenses charged by Lender in connection with the AIMCO Loan (including, without limitation, all fees charged by the Lender pursuant to the Assumed Deed of Trust).  The provisions of this
Section 4.8.3 shall survive the termination of this Contract and the Closing.
 4.8.4    AIMCO Lender shall not be obligated to make the AIMCO Loan unless Purchaser has obtained the consent of the Lender to the making of the AIMCO Loan and the recording of the AIMCO Loan Security Instrument as a second priority lien against the Property. 

4.9       Purchaser Financing.
   Subject to the terms of
Sections 4.7 and 4.8 above, Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and neither Purchaser’s obtaining the consent of Lender to the Loan Assumption and Release nor Purchaser’s acquisition of such funds shall be a contingency or condition precedent to the Closing or Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract.

5.1.1    The Closing shall occur on October 13, 2009 at the time set forth in
Section 2.2.5 (the “Closing Date”) through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means.

5.1.4    Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the closing under the Solana Contract (as hereinafter defined) must occur concurrently with or before the Closing under this Contract, and that the foregoing is a material term of this Contract without which Seller would not have agreed to enter into this Contract.

If the scheduled closing date under the Solana Contract has been adjourned by the Solana Purchaser (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1.2 of the Solana Contract, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have automatically exercised Purchaser’s adjournment right under
Section 5.1.2 above (regardless of whether or not Purchaser has delivered Purchaser’s First Adjournment Notice), and Purchaser shall immediately post the First Adjournment Deposit pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.1.2 above.

5.2.10  Updated Property Contracts List from Seller effective as of a date no more than 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the content of such updated Property Contracts List shall in no event expand or modify the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to close as specified under

5.3.14  Such other documents as are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions herein contemplated in accordance with the terms of this Contract.

5.4 Closing Prorations and Adjustments.

5.4.1    General.  All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, collected rents, operating expenses, personal property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date, if assumed by Purchaser) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date.  Seller shall prepare a proration schedule (the “
Proration Schedule”) of the adjustments described in this Section 5.4 prior to Closing.

5.4.2    Operating Expenses.  All of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of the Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis.  Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing Date.

5.4.3    Utilities.  The final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills.  Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate.  Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and Seller shall notify each utility company serving the Property to terminate Seller’s account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date.

5.4.4    Real Estate Taxes.  Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved.  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount).  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing.

5.4.5    Property Contracts.  Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, operating expenses shall be prorated under
Section 5.4.2.
 
5.4.6    Leases.
 
5.4.6.1 All collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating cost pass-throughs or other sums and 
charges payable by Tenants under the Leases), income and expenses from any portion of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date.  Seller shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made in relation to either (a) non-delinquent rents which have not been collected as of the Closing Date, or (b) delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “
Uncollected Rents”).  In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in Seller’s favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay to Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s obligation to collect Uncollected Rents shall be limited to Uncollected Rents of not more than 90 days past due, and Purchaser’s collection of rents shall be applied, first, towards current rent due and owing under the Leases, and second, to Uncollected Rents.  After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant and the delivery of the Leases Assignment shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right; provided however, that the foregoing right of Seller shall be limited to actions seeking monetary damages and, in no event, shall Seller seek to evict any Tenants in any action to collect Uncollected Rents.  Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the delivery to Seller, within 7 days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Uncollected Rents by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser’s obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from a Property.

5.4.6.2 At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) Tenant Deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage or other refundable deposits paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the Tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state law (the “
Tenant Security Deposit Balance”).  Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by Seller pursuant to this Contract (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by Purchaser.  The Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall not include any non-refundable deposits or fees paid by Tenants to the Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise.

5.4.7    Existing Loans.  Seller shall be responsible for all principal required to be paid under the terms of the Note prior to Closing, together with all interest accrued under the 
Note prior to Closing, all of which may be a credit against the Purchase Price as provided in
Section 2.2.3.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all Assumption Lender Fees, Required Loan Fund Amounts, and all other fees, penalties, interest and other amounts due and owing under the Assumed Loan Documents as a result of the Loan Assumption and Release.  As set forth in
Section 4.7.6, any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Loan shall be assigned to Purchaser, and at Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller in an amount equal to the balance of such reserves, impounds and accounts so assigned.

5.4.8    Insurance.  No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.  Seller shall have the risk of loss of the Property until 11:59 p.m. the day prior to the Closing Date, after which time the risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining its own insurance thereafter.

5.4.9    Employees.  All of Seller’s and Seller’s manager’s on-site employees shall have their employment at the Property terminated as of the Closing Date.

5.4.10  Closing Costs.  Purchaser shall pay (a) the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property, (b) one-half of any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the Title Policy pursuant to
Section 4.1, (c) all costs of any endorsements to the Title Policy, (d) one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent and (e) all documentary stamp taxes due in connection with the Loan Assumption and Release.  Seller shall pay (a) the documentary stamp taxes due in connection with the transfer of the Property and the recording of the Deed, (b) one-half (1/2) of any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the Title Policy pursuant to
Section 4.1 and (c) one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.

5.4.11  Utility Contracts.  If Seller has entered into an agreement for the purchase of electricity, gas or other utility service for the Property or a group of properties (including the Property) (a “
Utility Contract”), or an affiliate of Seller has entered into a Utility Contract, either (a) Purchaser either shall assume the Utility Contract with respect to the Property, or (b) the reasonably calculated costs of the Utility Contract attributable to the Property from and after the Closing shall be paid to Seller at the Closing and Seller shall remain responsible for payments under the Utility Contract.

5.4.12  Possession.  Possession of the Property, subject to the Leases, Property Contracts, other than Terminated Contracts, and Permitted Exceptions, shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing upon release from escrow of all items to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to
Section 5.3.  To the extent reasonably available to Seller, originals or copies of the Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the property, and Seller’s books and records relating to the Property (other than proprietary information) (collectively, “
Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records”) regarding the Property shall be made available to Purchaser at the Property after the Closing.  Purchaser agrees, for a period of not less than 3 years after the Closing (the “
Records Hold Period”), to (a) provide and allow Seller reasonable access to Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records for purposes of inspection and copying thereof, and (b) reasonably maintain and preserve Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records.

5.4.13  AIMCO Loan.  Purchaser shall pay for all costs associated with the making of the AIMCO Loan, as provided in
Section 4.8 above.
 
5.5 Post Closing Adjustments.

  Purchaser or Seller may request that Purchaser and Seller undertake to re-adjust any item on the Proration Schedule (or any item omitted therefrom), with the exception of real property taxes which shall be final and not subject to readjustment, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.4 of this Contract; provided, however, that neither party shall have any obligation to re-adjust any items (a) after the expiration of 60 days after Closing, or (b) subject to such 60-day period, unless such items exceed $5,000.00 in magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate) with respect to the Property.

The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Seller’s ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract or on the Property.

6.1.4    To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of any material default by Seller under any of the Property Contracts that will not be terminated on the Closing Date;

6.1.5    To Seller’s knowledge, the Materials delivered to Purchaser and that have been prepared by Seller (as opposed to Materials prepared by any third parties) are true and correct in all material respects.

Section 5.2.9 is accurate in all material respects; and
 
6.1.7    To Seller’s knowledge, the Property Contracts List (as updated pursuant to

6.2 AS-IS.
   Except for Seller’s Representations, the Property is expressly purchased and sold “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”  The Purchase Price and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm’s-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, and is not relying upon, any information provided by Seller or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Seller or Broker, including, without limitation, relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the Deed conveying a Property and Seller’s Representations).  Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions affecting the Property.  Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases Seller’s Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire against any of Seller’s Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions or other conditions affecting the Property.  Purchaser represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, it has and shall have reviewed and conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation, environmental studies and analyses concerning the presence of lead, asbestos, water intrusion and/or fungal growth and any resulting damage, PCBs and radon in and about the Property), reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Property.  If Seller provides or has provided any documents, summaries, opinions or work product of consultants, surveyors, architects, engineers, title companies, governmental authorities or any other person or entity with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties, Purchaser shall not rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents, summaries, opinions or work product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against Seller’s Indemnified Parties.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Property with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Property, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Property, or any part thereof, or the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing.  Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or tenants within
the normal course of business.  Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Contract in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the Deed with or without such tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price.

6. 3          Survival of Seller’s Representations.

  Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 9 months (the “
Survival Period”).  Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to the Seller’s Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has requested arbitration against Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any of Seller’s Representations.  Under no circumstances shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for more than $500,000 in any individual instance or in the aggregate for all breaches of Seller’s Representations with respect to the Property.  Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring any claim for a breach of Seller’s Representations unless the claim for damages (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Purchaser exceeds $5,000.  In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained in
Section 6.1 and Purchaser had knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date, and elected to close regardless, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith.

6.4       Definition of Seller’s Knowledge.

  Any representations and warranties made “to the knowledge of Seller” shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry.  For purposes of this Contract, the term Seller’s “
knowledge” shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of the Designated Employees and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, or to impose upon the Designated Employees any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon the Designated Employees any individual personal liability.  

6.5       Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.

  For the purpose of inducing Seller to enter into this Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

6.5.1    Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of California.

6.5.2    Purchaser, acting through any of its or their duly empowered and authorized officers or members, has all necessary entity power and authority to own and use its properties and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and has full power and authority to enter into this Contract, to execute and deliver the documents and instruments required of Purchaser herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder; and no consent of any of Purchaser’s partners, directors, officers or members are required to so empower or authorize Purchaser.  The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to consummate the
transaction contemplated by this Contract.  This Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

6.5.3    No pending litigation or litigation threatened in writing exists which if determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser’s obligations or covenants to Seller.

6.5.4    Other than Seller’s Representations, Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Seller or any representative of Seller (including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the acquisition of the Property.

6.5.5    The Broker and its affiliates do not, and will not at the Closing, have any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser (or in an assignee of Purchaser, which pursuant to
Section 13.3, acquires the Property at the Closing), nor has Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser granted (as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date) the Broker or any of its affiliates any right or option to acquire any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser.

6.5.6    Purchaser is not a Prohibited Person.

6.5.7    To Purchaser’s knowledge, none of its investors, affiliates or brokers or other agents (if any), acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Contract is a Prohibited Person.

6.5.8    The funds or other assets Purchaser will transfer to Seller under this Contract are not the property of, or are not beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person.

6.5.9    The funds or other assets Purchaser will transfer to Seller under this Contract are not the proceeds of specified unlawful activity as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1956(c)(7).

ARTICLE VII

OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY
 
7.1       Leases and Property Contracts.

  During the period of time from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, in the ordinary course of business Seller may enter into new Property Contracts, new Leases, renew existing Leases or modify, terminate or accept the surrender or forfeiture of any of the Leases, modify any Property Contracts so long as such Property Contract is (a) not extended past the Closing unless expressly authorized by Purchaser or (b) terminable on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty, or institute and prosecute any available remedies for default under any Lease or Property Contract without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, Seller agrees that any such new Property Contracts or any new or renewed Leases shall not have a term in excess of 1 year without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.2       General Operation of Property.

  Except as specifically set forth in this Article VII, Seller shall operate the Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in Seller’s sole discretion to address (a) any life or safety issue at the Property or (b) any other matter which, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, materially adversely affects the use, operation or value of the Property, Seller will not make any material alterations to the Property or remove any material Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.3       Liens.
   Other than utility easements and temporary construction easements granted by Seller in the ordinary course of business, Seller covenants that it will not create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts as provided in
Section 7.1) unless Purchaser approves such lien or encumbrance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, then the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder.

7.4       Tax Reduction Proceedings.

  If any tax reduction proceedings, tax protest proceedings or tax assessment appeals for the Property, relating to any fiscal years through and including fiscal year 2009, are pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same without the consent of Purchaser.  Seller hereby reserves and shall have the exclusive right, at any time after the Closing Date to institute a tax reduction proceeding, tax protest proceeding or tax assessment appeal for the Property with respect to fiscal year 2009 (which taxes are being adjusted hereunder on an accrual basis, but are payable to the taxing authorities in 2010), and Seller shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same without the consent of Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees that it shall not independently institute any such tax reduction proceedings, tax protests or tax assessment appeals for the Property with respect to the 2009 tax year.  Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the prosecution and/or settlement of any such tax reduction proceedings, tax protests or tax assessment appeals, including executing such documents as Seller may reasonably request in order for Seller to prosecute and/or settle any such proceedings.  Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings, tax protests or tax assessment appeals applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall belong to Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date shall belong to Purchaser. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Purchaser, respectively, except that Purchaser’s liability for such fees and other expenses shall not exceed the refund or savings so obtained.  The provisions of this
Section 7.4 shall survive the Closing.

Broker”) in connection with this Contract.  Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that, other than Broker, it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of the indemnitee, defend (with counsel approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against all Losses relating to brokerage commissions and finder’s fees arising from or attributable to the

ARTICLE X 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
 
10.1     Purchaser Default.

  If (x) Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver any deposit or payment required of Purchaser hereunder, (b) deliver to Seller the deliveries specified under
Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price at the time required by
Section 2.2.5 and close on the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date or (y) the Solana Purchaser defaults in its obligations under the Solana Contract, and such default is not cured within the applicable notice and grace periods, if any, under the Solana Contract, then, immediately and without the right to receive notice or to cure pursuant to
Section 2.3.3, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property.  If Purchaser defaults in any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract, and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Seller, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property.  The Deposit is liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser’s indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property or breach of a representation or warranty.  Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser.  SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS
SECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

10.2     Seller Default.

  If (x) Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its covenants or obligations under this Contract, including to sell the Property as required by this Contract or (y) Solana Seller, prior to the closing of the Solana Property, defaults in its covenants or obligations under the Solana Contract, including to sell the Solana Property as required by the Solana Contract, and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Purchaser,
then, at Purchaser’s election and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either (a) subject to the Conditions below, seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages), or (b) terminate this Contract.  If this Contract is terminated, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit and Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit), its direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with the Property, which damages shall not exceed $50,000.  Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser first shall (i) deliver all Purchaser Closing documents to Escrow Agent in accordance with the requirements of this Contract, including, without limitation,
Section 5.3 (with the exception of Section 5.3.1); (ii) not otherwise be in default under this Contract; and (iii) file suit therefor with the court on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date.  If this Contract is terminated, then Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence.  SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS
SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER, OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT.  PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AND IS DILIGENTLY PURSUING AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.

 
 
ARTICLE XI

RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY
 
11.1     Major Damage.

  In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, and the cost for demolition, site cleaning, restoration, replacement, or other repairs (collectively, the “
Repairs”) is more than the Applicable Damage Amount, then Seller shall have no obligation to make such Repairs, and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the “
Damage Notice”).  Within 10 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Notice, Purchaser may provide a Termination Notice to Seller to terminate this Contract.

11.2     Minor Damage.

  In the event that a Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, and the cost of Repairs is equal to or less than the Applicable Damage Amount, then this transaction shall be closed in accordance with
Section 11.3, notwithstanding such casualty.  In such event, Seller may at its election endeavor to make such Repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on the Property, if such Repairs can be reasonably effected before the Closing.  Regardless of Seller’s election to commence such Repairs, or Seller’s ability to complete such Repairs prior to Closing, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with
Section 11.3 below.
 
11.3     Closing.

  In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract following a casualty as set forth in
Section 11.1, or in the event of a casualty as set forth in Section 11.2, then this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, at Seller’s election, either (i) for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding any such casualty, in which case Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by Seller) of Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim, less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs (plus a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith); or (ii) for the full Purchase Price less a credit to Purchaser in the amount necessary to complete such Repairs (less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs).

11.4     Repairs.

  To the extent that Seller elects to commence any Repairs prior to Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such Repairs completed or installed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such Repairs after Closing.  To the extent that any Repairs have been commenced prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include, and Purchaser shall assume at Closing, all construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such Repairs.  

ARTICLE XII

EMINENT DOMAIN
 
12.1     Eminent Domain.
   If, at the time of Closing, any material part of the Property is (or previously has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), then Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s option, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within 10 Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event, and if Purchaser so terminates this Contract, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit hereunder.  If Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within such 10 Business Day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price and Purchaser shall receive the full benefit of any condemnation award.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS
 
13.1     Binding Effect of Contract.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign this Contract, without first obtaining the prior written approval of Seller, to one or more entities so long as (a) Purchaser is an affiliate of the purchasing entity(ies), (b) Purchaser is not released from its liability hereunder, and (c) Purchaser provides written notice to Seller of any proposed assignment no later than 10 days prior to the Closing Date.  As used herein, an affiliate is a person or entity controlled by, under common control with, or controlling another person or entity.

Each party shall be entitled to change its address for notices from time to time by delivering to the other party notice thereof in the manner herein provided for the delivery of notices.

13.20   Intentionally Omitted.

13.21   ADA Disclosure.

  Purchaser acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the “
ADA”) and the federal Fair Housing Act (the “FHA”).  The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of “public accommodations” remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons.  Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Property’s compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such representations.

   Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the relationship established between the parties pursuant to this Contract is only that of a seller and a purchaser of property.

13.24   Dispute Resolution.

  Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Contract (and any closing document executed in connection herewith), including any claim based on contract, tort or statute, shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Contract by binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Any matter to be settled by arbitration shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association in the state in which the Property is located.  The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association.  If they are unable to do so within 30 days after written demand therefor, then the American Arbitration Association shall designate an arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 13.24 shall not prevent Purchaser or Seller from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in which the Property is located (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Contract or to prevent irreparable harm and injury.  The court’s jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Contract between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with this
Section 13.24.
 
13.25   AIMCO Marks.
   Purchaser agrees that Seller, the Property Manager or AIMCO, or their respective affiliates, are the sole owners of all right, title and interest in and to the AIMCO Marks (or have the right to use such AIMCO Marks pursuant to license agreements with third parties) and that no right, title or interest in or to the AIMCO Marks is granted, transferred, assigned or conveyed as a result of this Contract.  Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will not use the AIMCO Marks for any purpose.

13.26   Non-Solicitation of Employees.

  Prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, without the express written consent of Seller, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s employees, affiliates or agents shall solicit any of Seller’s employees or any employees located at the Property (or any of Seller’s affiliates’ employees located at any property owned by such affiliates) for potential employment.

13.27   Survival.

  Except for (a) all of the provisions of this Article XIII (other than

Purchaser” means all entities acquiring any interest in the Property at the Closing, including, without limitation, any assignee(s) of the original Purchaser pursuant to

13.29   Radon Gas.
   Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.  Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida.  Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be
obtained from your county health department.  This paragraph is provided for informational purposes pursuant to Section 404.056(5), Florida Statutes.

13.30   Energy Efficiency.
   Purchaser may have the building’s energy efficiency rating determined.  Seller has, simultaneously with the execution hereof, delivered to Purchaser a copy of the Florida Building Energy Efficiency Rating System pamphlet prepared by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs.

13.31   Replacement of Previous Contract.

  This Contract, along with that certain Purchase and Sale Contract dated as of the date hereof between Fisherman’s Landing Apartments Limited Partnership (“
Solana Seller”) and Solana Purchaser for the Solana Property (said contract, as the same may be amended from time to time, is herein called the “
Solana Contract”) shall together supercede and replace in its entirety that certain Purchase and Sale Contract among Seller, Solana Seller and Purchaser dated May 1, 2009, which contract had heretofore been terminated by Purchaser on July 14, 2009 pursuant to the terms of terms thereof.

13.32   Cross Default/Cross Termination.

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Solana Seller (being an affiliate of Seller) and the Solana Purchaser have entered into the Solana Contract.  It is expressly understood and agreed to by Purchaser and Seller that: (a) if there is a default by the Solana Seller under the Solana Contract, then such default shall constitute a default by Seller under this Contract and Purchaser shall have the right to exercise all of Purchaser’s rights and remedies set forth in
Section 10.2 hereof, provided, however, whichever rights and remedies Purchaser shall exercise under
Section 10.2 hereof must be equivalent to the rights and remedies exercised by the Solana Purchaser under the Solana Contract (e.g., if the seller under the Solana Contract is in default and, as a result of such default, the Solana Purchaser elects to terminate the Solana Contract and receive a refund of the deposit thereunder, then Purchaser shall automatically elect to terminate this Contract and receive a refund of the Deposit) and (b) if there is a default by the Solana Purchaser under the Solana Contract, then such default shall constitute a default by Purchaser under this Contract.  Further, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that if the Solana Contract is validly terminated by the Solana Seller or by the Solana Purchaser for any reason pursuant to the terms of the Solana Contract, then (i) this Contract shall automatically terminate on the date on which the Solana Contract is terminated, (ii) if the termination of the Solana Contract occurs on or before October 13, 2009, then the Non-refundable Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the remainder of the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser unless Purchaser is in default hereunder, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Seller, (iii) if the termination of the Solana Contract occurs after October 13, 2009, then the Deposit shall be paid to Seller, unless Seller is in default hereunder, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser and (iv) thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Contract (including the Survival Provisions).

available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Deferred Stock Units are repurchased by the Company at their original purchase price or are forfeited to the Company, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan.  Shares used to pay the exercise price or purchase price, if applicable, of an Award shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan.  To the extent

within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

(3) Rule 16b-3.  To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured
to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

 

(4) Other Administration.  Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted
to satisfy Applicable Laws.

(b) Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

 

(1) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2(u) of the Plan;

 

(2) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder (other than the automatic grants to Non-Employee Directors provided for in Section 17 of the Plan);

 

(3) to determine whether and to what extent Awards or any combination thereof, are granted under the Plan;

 

(4) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock or equivalent units to be covered by each Award granted under the Plan;

 

(5) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

 

(6) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted under the Plan.  Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times
when Options or SARs may be exercised or other Awards vest (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

 

(7) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards;

 

(8) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws;

 

(9) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 21(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options and SARs longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan;

 

(10) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

 

(11) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares or cash to be issued upon exercise or vesting of an Award (or distribution of a Deferred Stock Unit) that number
of Shares or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld (but no more).  The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  All elections by a Participant to have Shares or cash withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

 

(12) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to Awards; and

 

(13) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision.  The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Participants
and any other holders of Awards.

 

5. Eligibility.  Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Deferred Stock Units and Nonstatutory Stock Options may be
granted to Service Providers.  Non-Employee Directors shall only receive Awards pursuant to Section 17 of the Plan.

 

6. Limitations.

 

(a) Nonstatutory Stock Option.  Each Option shall be designated in the Notice of Grant as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

(b) No Employment Rights.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s employment
with the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s or Subsidiary’s right, as the case may be, to terminate such employment at any time, with or without cause or notice.

 

(c) 162(m) Limitations.  The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants:

 

(1) No Participant shall be granted, in any Fiscal Year, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares; provided, however, that such limit shall
be 4,000,000 Shares in the Participant’s first Fiscal Year of Company service.

 

(2) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 19(a).

 

7. Term of Plan.  The Plan is effective as of October 1, 2004 (the “Effective Date”).  It shall continue in effect until September 30, 2014,
unless sooner terminated under Section 21 of the Plan.

 

8. Stock Options.

 

(a) Term.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that the term shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such
shorter term as may be provided in the Notice of Grant.

 

(b) Option Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator
and shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant.

 

(c) No Repricing.  The exercise price for an Option may not be reduced.  This shall include, without limitation, a repricing of the Option as well as
an Option exchange program whereby the Participant agrees to cancel an existing Option in exchange for an Option, SAR or other Award.

 

(d) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates.  At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall
determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.  In so doing, the Administrator may specify that an Option may not be exercised until the completion of a service period.

 

 

 

7

 

 

(e) Form of Consideration.  The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment.  Subject
to Applicable Laws, such consideration may consist entirely of:

 

(1) cash;

 

(2) check;

 

(3) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option have been owned by the Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal
to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised;

 

(4) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale
proceeds required to pay the exercise price;

 

(5) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

 

(6) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

(f) Exercise of Option.

 

Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement.

 

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.  Full payment may consist of any consideration
and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse.  Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the optioned stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 19 of the Plan.

 

Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

(g) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s misconduct, death
or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is 

 

 

8

 

 

 

vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, on the date of termination,
the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(h) Disability.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option
within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for six (6) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option,
the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(i) Death of Participant.  If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period
of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate, provided such representative has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator.  If no such representative has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the person(s) to whom
the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death.  If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

9. Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

(a) Grant of SARs.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined
by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.  The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Participant.

 

(b) Exercise Price and Other Terms.  Subject to Section 4(c) of the Plan, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion
to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan; provided, however, that no SAR may have a term of more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.  The per share exercise price for the Shares or cash to be issued pursuant to exercise of an SAR shall be determined by the Administrator and shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant.  The exercise price may not be reduced.  This shall include, without limitation, a repricing
of the SAR as well as an SAR exchange program whereby the Participant agrees to cancel an existing SAR in exchange for an Option, SAR or other Award

 

(c) Payment of SAR Amount.  Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

 

(1) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

 

(2) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

 

 

 

9

 

 

(d) Payment Upon Exercise of SAR.  At the discretion of the Administrator, payment for an SAR may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof.

 

(e) SAR Agreement.  Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise,
and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

(f) Expiration of SARs.  An SAR granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the
Award Agreement.

 

(g) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability
termination, the Participant may exercise his or her SAR within such period of time as is specified in the SAR Agreement to the extent that the SAR is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such SAR as set forth in the SAR Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the SAR Agreement, the SAR shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Participant
is not vested as to his or her entire SAR, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the SAR shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her SAR within the time specified by the Administrator, the SAR shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such SAR shall revert to the Plan.

 

(h) Disability.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her SAR
within such period of time as is specified in the SAR Agreement to the extent the SAR is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such SAR as set forth in the SAR Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the SAR Agreement, the SAR shall remain exercisable for six (6) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire SAR, the Shares covered
by the unvested portion of the SAR shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her SAR within the time specified herein, the SAR shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such SAR shall revert to the Plan.

 

(i) Death of Participant.  If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the SAR may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period
of time as is specified in the SAR Agreement (but in no event may the SAR be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such SAR as set forth in the SAR Agreement), by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate, provided such representative has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator.  If no such representative has been designated by the Participant, then such SAR may be exercised by the person(s) to whom the SAR is transferred
pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.  In the absence of a specified time in the SAR Agreement, the SAR shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death.  If the SAR is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the SAR shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such SAR shall revert to the Plan.

 

10. Restricted Stock.

 

(a) Grant of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Restricted Stock may be granted to Participants at any time as shall be determined
by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.  The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares subject to a Restricted Stock award granted to any Participant (provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall be 

 

 

 

10

 

 

granted more than 300,000 Shares of Restricted Stock); provided, however, that such limit shall be 750,000 Shares in the Participant’s first Fiscal Year of Company service, and (ii) the conditions that must be satisfied, which typically will be based principally or solely on continued provision of services but may include a performance-based component,
upon which is conditioned the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock.

 

(b) Restricted Stock Units.  Restricted Stock may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock or units to acquire Shares.  Each such unit shall be the
equivalent of one Share for purposes of determining the number of Shares subject to an Award.  With respect to the units to acquire Shares, until the Shares are issued, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist.

 

(c) Other Terms.  The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Restricted
Stock granted under the Plan.  Restricted Stock grants shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the Administrator at the time the stock is awarded.  The Administrator may require the recipient to sign a Restricted Stock Award agreement as a condition of the award.  Any certificates representing the Shares of stock awarded shall bear such legends as shall be determined
by the Administrator.

 

(d) Restricted Stock Award Agreement.  Each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall specify the purchase price (if any) and such other
terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; provided, however, that if the Restricted Stock grant has a purchase price, such purchase price must be paid no more than ten (10) years following the date of grant.

 

(e) Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions.  For purposes of qualifying grants of Restricted Stock as “performance-based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code, the Administrator, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Goals.  The Performance Goals shall be set by the Administrator on or before the latest date permissible to enable the Restricted Stock to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.  In granting Restricted Stock which is intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator shall follow any procedures determined
by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Restricted Stock under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).

 

11. Performance Shares.

 

(a) Grant of Performance Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Shares may be granted to Participants at any time as shall be determined
by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.  The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares subject to a Performance Share award granted to any Participant (provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall be granted more than 300,000 units of Performance Shares); provided, however, that such limit shall be 750,000 Shares in the Participant’s first Fiscal Year of Company service, and (ii) the conditions that must be satisfied, which typically
will be based principally or solely on achievement of performance milestones but may include a service-based component, upon which is conditioned the grant or vesting of Performance Shares.  Performance Shares shall be granted in the form of units to acquire Shares.  Each such unit shall be the equivalent of one Share for purposes of determining the number of Shares subject to an Award.  Until the Shares are issued, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder
shall exist with respect to the units to acquire Shares.

 

 

 

11

 

 

(b) Other Terms.  The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Performance
Shares granted under the Plan.  Performance Share grants shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the Administrator at the time the stock is awarded, which may include such performance-based milestones as are determined appropriate by the Administrator.  The Administrator may require the recipient to sign a Performance Shares agreement as a condition of the award.  Any certificates representing the Shares of stock awarded shall bear such legends as
shall be determined by the Administrator.

 

(c) Performance Share Award Agreement.  Each Performance Share grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall specify such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

(d) Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions.  For purposes of qualifying grants of Performance Shares as “performance-based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code, the Administrator, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Goals.

determined by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Performance Shares under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).

 

12. Performance Units.

 

(a) Grant of Performance Units.  Performance Units are similar to Performance Shares, except that they shall be settled in a cash equivalent to the Fair Market
Value of the underlying Shares, determined as of the vesting date.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Units may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.  The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the conditions that must be satisfied, which typically will be based principally or solely on achievement of performance milestones but may include a service-based
component, upon which is conditioned the grant or vesting of Performance Units.  Performance Units shall be granted in the form of units to acquire Shares.  Each such unit shall be the cash equivalent of one Share of Common Stock.  No right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Performance Units or the cash payable thereunder.

 

(b) Number of Performance Units.  The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units granted to any Participant, provided
that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall receive Performance Units having an initial value greater than $1,500,000, provided, however, that such limit shall be $4,000,000 in the Participant’s first Fiscal Year of Company service.

The Performance Goals shall be set by the Administrator on or before the latest date permissible to enable the Performance Units to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.  In granting Performance Units which are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator shall follow any procedures determined
by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Performance Units under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).

 

13. Deferred Stock Units.

 

(a) Description.  Deferred Stock Units shall consist of a Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance Unit Award that the Administrator, in its sole discretion
permits to be paid out in installments or on a deferred basis, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator.  Deferred Stock Units shall remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors until distributed to the Participant.

 

(b) 162(m) Limits.  Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to the annual 162(m) limits applicable to the underlying Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance
Unit Award.

 

14. Death of Participant.  In the event that a Participant dies while a Service Provider, then 100% of his or her Awards shall immediately vest.

 

15. Leaves of Absence.  Unless the Administrator provides otherwise or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws, vesting of Awards granted hereunder shall cease
commencing on the first day of any unpaid leave of absence and shall only recommence upon return to active service.

 

16. Misconduct.  Should (i) the Participant’s service be terminated for misconduct (including, but not limited to, any act of dishonesty, willful misconduct,
fraud or embezzlement), or (ii) the Participant makes any unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, then in any such event all outstanding Awards held by the Participant under the Plan shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding, including as to both vested and unvested Awards.

 

17. Non-Employee Director Options.

 

(a) Initial Grants.  Each Non-Employee Director who first becomes a Non-Employee Director on or after the date upon which the Plan is approved by the Company’s
stockholders (excluding any Non-Employee Director who previously served on the Board), shall be automatically granted (i) an Option grant covering 6,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Option Grant”), and (ii) that number of Restricted Stock Units equal to $60,000 divided by the Fair Market Value, rounded down to the nearest whole Share (the “Initial RSU Grant”), as of the date that the individual first is appointed or elected as a Non-Employee Director.  The Initial Option
Grant shall vest as to 1/48th of the Shares subject to the Initial Option each month following the grant date, so as to be 100% vested on the four-year anniversary of the grant date.  The Initial RSU Grant will vest in equal 25% annual installments on each of the four anniversaries of the first business day of the second month of the Company’s fiscal quarter in which the grant is made.  All vesting of the
Initial Option Grant and the Initial RSU Grant is contingent upon the Non-Employee Director maintaining continued status as a Non-Employee Director through the applicable vesting date.

 

 

 

13

 

 

(b) Annual Grants.  On the date of the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting, each Non-Employee Director who has served as a Non-Employee Director
for at least three months on that date shall be automatically granted (i) an Option grant covering 3,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Annual Option Grant”), and (ii) that number of Restricted Stock Units equal to $30,000 divided by the Fair Market Value, rounded down to the nearest whole Share (the “Annual RSU Grant”), provided that such Non-Employee Director has been elected by the stockholders to serve as a member of the Board at that annual meeting. The Annual Option Grant shall vest
as to 1/12th of the Shares subject to the Annual Option each month following the grant date, so as to be 100% vested on the anniversary of the grant date.  The Annual RSU Grant will vest in equal 50% annual installments on each of the two anniversaries of the first business day of the second month of the Company’s fiscal quarter in which the grant is made.  All vesting of the Annual Option Grant and the Annual
RSU Grant is contingent upon the Non-Employee Director maintaining continued status as a Non-Employee Director through the applicable vesting date.

 

(c) One-Time Grant.  On the date of the Company’s 2009 stockholders’ meeting, each Non-Employee Director who has served as a Non-Employee Director
for at least five years on that date shall be automatically granted a one-time grant of that number of Restricted Stock Units equal to $100,000 divided by the Fair Market Value, rounded down to the nearest whole Share, provided that such Non-Employee Director has been elected by the stockholders to serve as a member of the Board at that annual meeting.  The Restricted Stock Units subject to this grant will vest in equal 25% annual installments on each of the four anniversaries of the first business
day of the second month of the Company’s fiscal quarter in which the grant is made.  Vesting of the one-time grant is contingent upon the Non-Employee Director maintaining continued status as a Non-Employee Director through the applicable vesting date.

 

18. Non-Transferability of Awards.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the recipient, only by the recipient.  If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

	
19.  
	
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution or Liquidation or Change of Control.

 

(a) Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding
Award, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award and the 162(m) fiscal year share issuance limits under Sections 6(c), 10(a) and 11(a) shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock
resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that any such change in capitalization shall not affect the number of shares awarded under the automatic grants to Non-Employee Directors described in Sections 17(a) and (b), and provided that conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an Award.

 

 

 

14

 

 

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon
as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Option or SAR until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Awarded Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable.  In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall
lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised (with respect to Options and SARs) or vested (with respect to other Awards), an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

(c) Change of Control.

 

(1) Stock Options and SARs.  In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or SAR substituted
by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or SAR, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable.  If an Option or SAR becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the Change of Control, the option or stock appreciation right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share
of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is
not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.

 

(2) Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Deferred Stock Units.  In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Restricted Stock,
Performance Share, Performance Unit and Deferred Stock Unit award shall be assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit and Deferred Stock Unit award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit or Deferred Stock Unit award, the Participant shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock,
Performance Share, Performance Unit or Deferred Stock Unit including as to Shares (or with respect to Performance Units, the cash

equivalent thereof) which would not otherwise be vested.  For the purposes of this paragraph, a Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit and Deferred Stock Unit award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change of Control, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share (or with respect to Performance
Units, the cash equivalent thereof) subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of
Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share and each unit/right to acquire a Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.

 

20. Date of Grant.  The date of grant of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award,
or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.  Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

21. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a) Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b) Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Section 422
of the Code (or any successor rule or statute or other applicable law, rule or regulation, including the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted).  Such stockholder approval, if required, shall be obtained in such a manner and to such a degree as is required by the applicable law, rule or regulation.

 

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually
agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

 

22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a) Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of the Award or the issuance and delivery of such Shares
(or with respect to Performance Units, the cash equivalent thereof) shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

(b) Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving such Award to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

 

23. Liability of Company.

 

(a) Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by
the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

 

 

16

 

 

(b) Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares.  If the Awarded Stock covered by an Award exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares which may be issued under
the Plan without additional stockholder approval, such Award shall be void with respect to such excess Awarded Stock, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in accordance with Section 21(b) of the Plan.

 

24. Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient
to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
