As Amended and Restated effective as of February 1, 2012 
The following constitute the provisions of the 1998 Employee Stock Investment Plan of Franklin Resources, Inc.  
1.Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide Eligible Employees of the Company and its Designated Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions.  This Plan includes two components: a Code Section 423 Component (the “423 Component”) and a non-Code Section 423 Component (the “Non-423 Component”).  It is the intention of the Company to have the 423 Component qualify as an “Employee Stock Investment Plan” under Section 423 of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder.  The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in the 423 Component in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code.  Except as otherwise indicated or determined by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the terms hereof, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

2.Definitions.  As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)“Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity affiliated with the Company or in which the Company has an interest.

(b)“Applicable Laws” means the legal requirements relating to the administration of employee stock investment plans, if any, under applicable provisions of federal securities laws, state corporate and securities laws, the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder, the rules of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, and the rules of any foreign jurisdiction applicable to participation in the Plan by residents therein.  

(c)“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d)“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(e)“Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company.

Compensation does not include bonuses, restricted stock awards, other annual awards, other incentive payments, reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash or noncash), moving expenses, deferred compensation, profit sharing or other employer matching contributions (other than employee deferral contributions described in the first sentence) made on the Eligible Employee's behalf by the Company or one (1) or more Designated Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates under any employee benefit or welfare plan now or hereafter established, and any other payments not specifically referenced in the first sentence.  

(h)“Corporate Transaction” means any of the following stockholder-approved transactions to which the Company is a party:

(1)a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to change the state in which the Company is incorporated;

For purposes of the Plan, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on a Leave of Absence.  Where the period of leave exceeds three (3) months and the individual's right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have terminated on the day that is three (3) months and one (1) day of such leave for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in the Plan.  Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact where an Eligible Employee transfers employment from one Designated Parent, Designated Subsidiary or Designated Affiliate to another, provided, however, that to be eligible to participate in the 423 Component, the Participant must be employed by a Designated Parent or Designated Subsidiary on the commencement of a Purchase Period and through a date that is at least  three (3) months prior to the Exercise Date.

(r) “Offering” means an offer under the Plan of an option that may be exercised during a Purchase Period as further described in Section 4.  Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator, each Offering to the Eligible Employees of the Company, a Designated Subsidiary or a Designated Affiliate shall be deemed a separate Offering (the terms of which Offering under the Non-423 Component need not be identical), even if the dates and other terms of each such Offering are identical, and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering.  To the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(1), the terms of each separate Offering under the Section 423 Component need not be identical, provided that the terms of the Plan and an Offering together satisfy U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3).

(z)“Subsidiary” means a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company, whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.

3.Eligibility.

(a)General.  Any individual who is an Eligible Employee for the ten (10) business day period prior to and including a given Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan for the Purchase Period commencing with such Enrollment Date.  No individual who is not an Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

(b)Limitations on Grant and Accrual.  Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) if, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (taking into account stock owned by any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary, or (ii) which permits the Eligible Employee's rights to purchase stock under all employee stock investment plans of the Company and its Parents or Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars (US$25,000) worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time.  The determination of the accrual of the right to purchase stock shall be made in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may waive the limits set forth in this Section 3(b) with respect to any Offering under the Non‐423 Component if necessary, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c)Other Limits on Eligibility.  Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, Eligible Employees who are subject to rules or laws of a foreign jurisdiction (x) that prohibit the participation of such Eligible Employees in the Plan, or (y) in the case of the 423 Component, compliance with which would cause the Plan to be in violation of any requirement of Section 423 of the Code or the regulations thereunder, shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan for any relevant Purchase Period.  Further, in the case of the Non-423 Component, Eligible Employees may be excluded from participation in the Plan if the Plan Administrator has determined that participation of such Eligible Employees is not advisable or practicable.

4.Purchase Periods. 
 
(a)The Plan shall be implemented through separate Offerings and overlapping or consecutive Purchase Periods until such time as (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated in accordance with Section 19 hereof.  The Plan Administrator shall designate, in its discretion, whether each Offering falls under the 423 Component or the Non‐423 Component.  As of February 1, 2012, the Plan shall be implemented through consecutive Purchase Periods of six (6) months' duration commencing on each February 1 and August 1 and concluding on each July 31 and January 31, respectively.  The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to change the length and commencement date of any Purchase Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company determines it is inadvisable to issue and/or purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan as of any Exercise Date, issuances and/or purchases under the Plan shall be delayed until a date specified by the Plan Administrator.

(b)A Participant shall be granted a separate option for each Purchase Period in which he or she participates.  The option shall be granted on the Enrollment Date and shall be automatically exercised on the Exercise Date for the Purchase Period. 

(c)Except as specifically provided herein, the acquisition of Common Stock through participation in the 

3

Plan for any Purchase Period shall neither limit nor require the acquisition of Common Stock by a Participant in any subsequent Purchase Period.

5.Participation.

(a)Subject to Section 3, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement, in a form designated by the Plan Administrator from time to time, whether in hard copy or in electronic form, authorizing payroll deductions (where permitted) and submitting it with the designated payroll office of the Company (where required) prior to the Enrollment Date for the Purchase Period in which such participation will commence, unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement is set by the Plan Administrator for all Eligible Employees who may participate in a given Offering.  In the event an Eligible Employee is on a Leave of Absence, such Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan by making direct contributions to the Plan in the form and manner as authorized by the Plan Administrator.

(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 6(b), payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence with the first payroll period following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last complete payroll period during the Purchase Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 10.  A Participant who is on a Leave of Absence may make direct contributions to the Plan in the form and manner as authorized by the Plan Administrator.

6.Payroll Deductions.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 6(b), at the time a Participant files a subscription agreement, the Participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made during the Purchase Period in amounts between one percent (1%) and not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Compensation which the Participant receives during the Purchase Period.  Subject to Section 6(c), if a Participant has been participating in the Plan prior to taking a Leave of Absence, any direct contributions to the Plan made by such Participant during a Leave of Absence together with any payroll deductions continuing during such Leave of Absence shall in combination be at the same rate as in effect prior to such Leave of Absence.  A Participant may commence participation in the Plan even if on a Leave of Absence by filing a subscription agreement as provided in this Section 6(a) and by making direct contributions, along with any payroll deductions which, either individually or together, as the case may be, total between one percent (1%) and ten percent (10%) of the Compensation which such Participant received immediately preceding the commencement of such Leave of Absence.

(b)A Participant may not make any additional payments into such Participant's account under the Plan except as provided above for a Participant on a Leave of Absence and except as may be required to comply with the laws of certain non-U.S. jurisdictions where payroll deductions may be prohibited by law or to conform to local practice in such non-U.S. jurisdictions.  All payroll deductions made for a Participant (and/or any direct contributions, as permitted under the Plan) shall be credited to such Participant's account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only.

(c)A Participant may discontinue participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10, or may decrease the rate of payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable), during the Purchase Period by completing and filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a decrease in the payroll deduction rate (and/or rate of direct contribution, if applicable).  The decrease in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period commencing fifteen (15) days after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation more quickly.  A Participant may increase the rate of payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable), for a future Purchase Period by filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing an increase in the payroll deduction rate within fifteen (15) days (unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation more quickly) before the commencement of the upcoming Purchase Period.  A Participant's subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Purchase Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10.  The Plan Administrator shall be authorized to limit the number of payroll deduction rate changes during any Purchase Period.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) herein, a Participant's payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions for a Participant on a Leave of Absence or in non-U.S. jurisdictions, as applicable and as provided in Sections 6(a) and (b) hereof) shall be decreased to 0%.  Payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) shall recommence at the rate provided in such Participant's subscription agreement, as amended, at the time when permitted under Section 423(b)(8) of the Code (in the case of participation in the 423 Component) and Section 3(b) herein, unless such participation is sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 10.

(e)At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company's or its Parent's, Subsidiary's, or Affiliate's federal, state, or any other tax liability payable to any authority, national insurance, social security, 

4

payment on account or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock including, for the avoidance of doubt, any liability of the Participant to pay an employer tax or social contribution obligation, which liability has been shifted to the Participant as a matter of law or contract.  At any time, the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant's compensation the amount necessary for the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee.  In addition, the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock or employ any other method of withholding the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, deems appropriate.

7.Grant of Option.  On the Enrollment Date, each Participant in an Offering shall be granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of the applicable Purchase Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Common Stock determined by dividing such Participant's payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) accumulated prior to such Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided (i) that such option shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b), 6 and 12 hereof, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock a Participant shall be permitted to purchase in any Purchase Period shall be two thousand (2,000) shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18 hereof.  Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8, unless the Participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10, and the option, to the extent not exercised, shall expire on the last day of the Purchase Period with respect to which such option was granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares subject to the option may only be purchased with accumulated payroll deductions (and/or any direct contributions, as permitted under the Plan) credited to a Participant's account in accordance with Section 6 of the Plan.  In addition, to the extent an option is not exercised on each Purchase Date, the option shall lapse and thereafter cease to be exercisable.

8.Exercise of Option.  Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10 below, such Participant's option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, and the maximum number of shares (including fractional shares) subject to the option shall be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions (and direct contributions) in such Participant's account.  The Plan Administrator shall be authorized to establish procedures for the handling of fractional shares, including the distribution of cash in lieu thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount remaining in a Participant's account following the purchase of shares on the Exercise Date due to the application of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code or Section 7, above, shall be returned to the Participant and shall not be carried over to the next Purchase Period.  During a Participant's lifetime, a Participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by the Participant.

9.Delivery.  The shares purchased under the Plan will be delivered in uncertificated form by way of an electronic transfer to the individual account of a Participant.  Upon receipt of a request from a Participant after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to such Participant, as promptly as practicable, of a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of the Participant's option. 
 
10.Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

(a)A Participant (i) may withdraw all, but not less than all of the payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) credited to such Participant's account and not yet used to exercise such Participant's option under the Plan at any time or (ii) terminate future payroll deductions(and/or direct contributions, if applicable), but allow accumulated payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) to be used to exercise the Participant's option under the Plan at any time by giving at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Company (subject to any shorter period as may be required under Applicable Laws), in a form designated by the Plan Administrator from time to time, whether in hard copy or electronic form.  If the Participant elects withdrawal alternative (i) described above, all of the Participant's payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) credited to the Participant's account will be paid to such Participant as promptly as practicable after receipt of the notice of withdrawal, such Participant's option for the Purchase Period will be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) for the purchase of shares will be made during the Purchase Period.  If the Participant elects withdrawal alternative (ii) described above, no further payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) for the purchase of shares will be made during the Purchase Period, all of the Participant's payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) credited to the Participant's account will be applied to the exercise of the Participant's option on the Exercise Date (subject to Sections 3(b), 6, 7 and 12) and after such Exercise Date, such Participant's option for the Purchase Period will be automatically terminated and all remaining accumulated payroll deduction amounts (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) shall be returned to the Participant.  If a Participant withdraws from a Purchase Period, payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Purchase Period unless the Participant delivers a new subscription agreement to the Company. 

5

(b)Upon a Participant's ceasing to be an Eligible Employee for any reason or upon termination of a Participant's employment relationship (as described in Section 2(k)), the payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) credited to such Participant's account during the Purchase Period, but not yet used to purchase shares will be returned to such Participant or, in the case of such Participant's death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 14, and such Participant's option will be automatically terminated.

11.Interest.  No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) credited to a Participant's account under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Plan Administrator determines that interest is required to be accrued on the payroll deductions or contributions for Participants in the Non-423 Component or any separate Offering under the 423 Component, then the Plan Administrator shall cause such interest to accrue to the extent required by applicable non-U.S. requirements.

12.Stock.

(a)The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be eight million (8,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18.  For avoidance of doubt, such maximum number of shares may be used to satisfy exercises of options under the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component, or both.  With respect to any amendment to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have discretion to disallow the purchase of any increased shares of Common Stock for the Purchase Period in existence prior to such increase.  If the Plan Administrator determines that on a given Exercise Date the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (x) the number of shares then available for sale under the Plan or (y) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the Purchase Period in which such Exercise Date is to occur, the Plan Administrator may make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable, and shall either continue all Offerings then in effect or terminate any one or more Offerings then in effect pursuant to Section 19, below.  Any amount remaining in a Participant's payroll account following such pro rata allocation shall be returned to the Participant and shall not be carried over to any future Purchase Period, as determined by the Plan Administrator.

(b)A Participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by the Participant's option until such shares are actually purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan.  No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such purchase.

(c)Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant.

13.Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator, which shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan, including whether Participants shall participate in the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component and which entities shall be Designated Subsidiaries or Designated Affiliates.  Every finding, decision and determination made by the Plan Administrator shall, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, be final and binding upon all persons.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, the Plan Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures for jurisdictions outside of the United States.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules, procedures and subplans, which for purposes of the Non-423 Component may be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code, regarding, but not limited to, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions, making of contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. 

14.Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)Subject to any alternative rules promulgated by the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 13, each Participant will file a written or electronic designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the Participant's account under the Plan in the event of such Participant's death. 

(b)Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant (and the Participant's spouse, if any) at any time by written notice.  In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated 

6

under the Plan who is living (or in existence) at the time of such Participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Plan Administrator), the Plan Administrator shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse (or domestic partner, as determined by the Plan Administrator) of the Participant, or if no spouse (or domestic partner) is known to the Plan Administrator, then to the issue of the Participant, such distribution to be made per stirpes (by right of representation), or if no issue are known to the Plan Administrator, then to the heirs at law of the Participant determined in accordance with applicable law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living (or in existence) at the time of death of a Participant residing outside the U.S., any required distribution under the Plan shall be made to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or to such other individual as may be prescribed by applicable law.

15.Transferability.  No payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) credited to a Participant's account, options granted hereunder, or any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 14 hereof) by the Participant, nor shall it be subject to attachment or other legal process of whatever nature.  Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from a Purchase Period in accordance with Section 10; provided, however, that the shares purchased under the Plan may also be delivered in uncertificated form by way of an electronic transfer to the individual account of Participant.

16.Use of Funds.  All payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions or hold them exclusively for the benefit of Participants, except for payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) made to a Non-423 Component Offering or a separate Offering under the 423 Component where, as determined by the Plan Administrator, non-U.S. law requires segregation of such amounts.  Except as required by applicable local law, all payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) received or held by the Company may be subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors.  Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company.  Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder.  Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Plan Administrator, the Company or any Designated Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant's creditors in any assets of the Company or a Designated Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate. The Participants shall have no claim against the Company or any Designated Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 16, Participants in the Non-423 Component or a separate Offering under the 423 Component may have additional rights where required under local law, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion.

17.Reports.  Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan.  Statements of account will be given to Participants at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions (and/or direct contributions, if applicable), the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

18.Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.

(a)Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, the Purchase Price, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased in any Purchase Period, as well as any other terms that the Plan Administrator determines require adjustment 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 conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment, if any, shall be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as the Plan Administrator determines, 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 hereof shall be made with respect to, the Reserves and the Purchase Price. 
 
(b)Corporate Transactions.  In the event of a proposed Corporate Transaction, each option under the Plan shall be assumed by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Plan Administrator, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption, determines to shorten the Purchase Period then 

7

in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”).  If the Plan Administrator shortens the Purchase Period then in progress in lieu of assumption in the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Plan Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that either: 

(1)the Participant's option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Purchase Period as provided in Section 10; or

(2)the Company shall pay to the Participant on the New Exercise Date an amount in cash, cash equivalents, or property as determined by the Plan Administrator that is equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the option over (ii) the Purchase Price due had the Participant's option been exercised automatically under Subsection (b)(1) above.  In addition, all remaining accumulated payroll deduction (and/or direct contributions, if applicable) amounts shall be returned to the Participant.

(c)For purposes of this Section 18, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, the option is replaced with a comparable option with respect to shares of capital stock of the successor corporation or Parent thereof.  The determination of option comparability shall be made by the Plan Administrator prior to the Corporate Transaction and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

19.Amendment or Termination.

(a)The Board or a Committee of the Board that is responsible for the administration of the Plan may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan.  Except as provided in Section 18, this Section 19 and Section 26, no such termination can adversely affect options previously granted, provided that the Plan or any one or more Offerings may be terminated by the Plan Administrator on any Exercise Date or by the Plan Administrator establishing a new Exercise Date with respect to any Offering then in progress if the Plan Administrator determines that the termination of the Plan or such one or more Offerings is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  Except as provided in Section 18, this Section 19 and Section 26, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any Participant without the consent of affected Participants.  To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other Applicable Law), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

(b)Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during Purchase Periods, determine the length of any future Purchase Period, determine whether future Purchase Periods shall be consecutive or overlapping, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable foreign jurisdictions, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant's Compensation, amend an outstanding option if, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, it determines that such amendment is necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Laws and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Plan Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable and which are consistent with the Plan, in each case to the extent consistent with the requirements of Code Section 423 (with respect to the 423 Component) and other Applicable Laws.

(c)On December 13, 2006, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan to (i) increase the maximum number of shares available for sale or as a matching grant under the Plan to eight million (8,000,000) shares, (ii) extend the term of the Plan to January 31, 2018, and (iii) remove, for Purchase Periods occurring on and after the date the Board approved such amendment and restatement, the provision that an Eligible Employee will not be eligible to participate in the Plan for any relevant Purchase Period if such Eligible Employee's customary employment is less than 20 hours per week.  The increase in the maximum number of shares available under the Plan required the approval of the Company's stockholders, which was obtained on January 25, 2007.  On June 19, 2007, the Plan was amended to allow direct contributions to the Plan for Participants on Leaves of Absence.  On July 9, 2007, the Plan was amended to (A) provide that the term “Accrual Period” shall refer to a “Purchase Period” effective for Purchase Periods commencing on and after August 1, 2007; and (B) provide that the duration of Purchase Periods commencing on and after August 1, 2007 shall be shortened from twenty-four (24) months to six (6) months.  The 2007 Plan amendments do not require the approval of the Company's stockholders.  On June 17, 2008, the Plan was amended to change the definition of “Purchase Price” so that it referred to an amount equal to 85% (rather than 90%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, and to eliminate the provision regarding Company discretionary matching grants under the 

8

Plan for Purchase Periods commencing on or after August 1, 2008.  The June 2008 amendments do not require the approval of the Company's stockholders.  On October 12, 2009, the Plan was amended, effective as of February 1, 2010 (such amendments not subject to stockholder approval) to (A) bring the Plan in to compliance with proposed changes to the regulations promulgated under Section 423 of the Code, (B) modify the definitions of “Exercise Date” and “Purchase Price” to clarify treatment in the event a Purchase Period ends on a date other than a Market Trading Day, and (C) make certain other clarifying and administrative changes.  On October 17, 2011, the Plan was amended to update the definition of “Fair Market Value” to better correspond to the previously modified definitions of “Exercise Date” and “Purchase Price.”  Such amendments did not require stockholder approval.  On December 15, 2011, the Plan was amended and restated, effective as of February 1, 2012, to add a Plan component not subject to Section 423 of the Code, to add the capacity for separate Offerings, to adjust the operation of Purchase Periods, and to effect certain other updates to the Plan's terms.  Such amendments did not require stockholder approval.

20.Notices.  All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Plan Administrator at the location, or by the person, designated by the Plan Administrator for the receipt thereof.

21.Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.  As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise 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 by any of the aforementioned Applicable Laws or is otherwise advisable.
  
22.Term of Plan.  The Plan became effective upon January 1, 1998.  It shall continue in effect until January 31, 2018 unless sooner terminated under Section 19.

23.No Employment Rights.  The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create any right for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase any shares under the Plan, or create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or a Designated Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with such employer's right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee's employment at any time.

24.No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans.  Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Designated Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, participation in the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Designated Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation.  The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

25.Effect of Plan.  The provisions of the Plan shall, in accordance with its terms, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all successors of each Participant, including, without limitation, such Participant's estate and the executors, administrators or trustees thereof, heirs and legatees, and any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or representative of creditors of such Participant.

26.Code Section 409A.  The Plan is exempt from the application of Code Section 409A and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so be exempt from Code Section 409A. The Non-423 Component is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Plan Administrator determines that an option granted under the Plan may be subject to Code Section 409A or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to Code Section 409A, the Plan Administrator may amend the terms of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Plan Administrator determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant's consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with Code Section 409A, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Plan Administrator would not violate Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Plan Administrator with respect thereto.

27.Tax-Qualification.  Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an option for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the U.S. or jurisdictions outside of the U.S. or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 26.  The Company shall be 

9

unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan.

28.Governing Law.  The Plan is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties, except to the extent the internal laws of the State of Delaware are superseded by the laws of the United States.  Should any provision of the Plan be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.

 A.        Seller owns the real estate located in Maricopa County, Arizona, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and the improvements thereon, commonly known as Greenspoint at Paradise Valley Apartments.
 B.         Purchaser desires to purchase, and Seller desires to sell, such land, improvements and certain associated property, on the terms and conditions set forth below.

 ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE, PURCHASE PRICE & DEPOSIT
 2.1.            Purchase and Sale.
   Seller agrees to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.
 2.2.            Purchase Price and Deposit.
 .  The total purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Property shall be an amount equal to $29,750,000.00, payable by Purchaser, as follows:
 2.2.1.                      Within 2 Business Days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver 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 ("Escrow Agent" or "Title Insurer") an initial deposit (the "Initial Deposit") of $100,000.00 by wire transfer of immediately available funds ("Good Funds").  The Initial Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser except as provided in Section 2.2.5.
 2.2.2.                      Within 1 Business Day after the day that the Feasibility Period expires, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent an additional deposit (the "Additional Deposit") of $495,000.00 by wire transfer of Good Funds.  
 2.2.3.                      The balance of the Purchase Price for the Property 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.
 2.2.4.                      Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (i) the Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property are incidental to the use and operation of the Property, and (ii) no portion of the Purchase Price is allocable to the Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property.
 2.2.5.                      Any and all provisions of this Contract which provide that the Deposit shall be nonrefundable are subject to the other provisions of this Contract which set forth limited circumstances under which the Deposit may become refundable which are the following:  (i) Section 10.2 (which grants Purchaser the right to terminate this Contract on account of a default by Seller and recover the Deposit); (ii) Section 8.1 (which grants Purchaser the right to terminate this Contract in the event that a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close is not satisfied and to obtain a refund of the Additional Deposit (but not the Initial Deposit)); (iii) Section 11.1 (which grants Purchaser the right to terminate this Contract as a result of Major Damage and recover the Deposit); and (iv) Section 12.1 (which grants Purchaser the right to terminate this Contract as a result of the exercise of a right of eminent domain and recover the Deposit).
 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 an FDIC-insured, interest-bearing bank account or FDIC-insured money market fund reasonably approved by Purchaser and Seller, 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 and apply the Deposit in strict accordance with the terms of this Contract.  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 both Seller and Purchaser to this Contract or a final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction.  However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deliver the Deposit and interest thereon, if any,  or interplead 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 3.5.2.    
 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 and shall not be liable for any act or omission on its part unless Escrow Agent acted negligently or with willful misconduct.  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 and Purchaser’s respective closing instruction letters delivered at Closing (to the extent not inconsistent with this Contract) and the provisions of this Section 2.3.
 2.3.6.                      Escrow Agent, as the person responsible for closing the transaction within the meaning of Section 6045(e)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "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
FEASIBILITY PERIOD
 3.1.            Feasibility Period.
   Subject to the terms of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 and the rights of Tenants under the Leases, from the Effective Date to and including March 12, 2012 (the "Feasibility Period"), 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").
 3.2.            Expiration of Feasibility Period.
   If any of the matters in Section 3.1 or any title, survey or other matters are unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract by giving written notice to that effect to Seller and Escrow Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. on or before the date of expiration of the Feasibility Period.  If Purchaser provides such written notice prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, this Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to and except for the Survival Provisions, and Escrow Agent shall release the Initial Deposit to Seller.  If Purchaser fails to provide Seller with written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser's right to terminate under this Section 3.2 shall be permanently waived and this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Property shall be conditional only as provided in Section 8.1.
 3.3.            Conduct of Investigation.
   Purchaser shall not permit any mechanics' or materialmens’ 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.
 3.4.            Purchaser Indemnification. 
 3.4.1.                      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, Property Manager, Regional Property Manager, and AIMCO (collectively, including Seller, "Seller's Indemnified Parties"), for, from and against any and all damages, mechanics' liens, materialmens’ 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.
 3.4.2.                      Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on the Property without Seller's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If Purchaser desires to perform any invasive tests, Purchaser shall give prior written notice thereof to Seller, which notice shall be accompanied by a detailed description and plan of the invasive tests Purchaser desires to perform.  Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove (in Seller’s reasonable discretion) any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of the Property), investigations and other matters that in Seller's reasonable judgment could result in any injury to the Property or breach of any contract, or expose Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect the Property or Seller's interest therein.  Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and in accordance with all applicable environmental laws, dispose of all hazardous materials which have been specifically removed from or at the Property by Purchaser or its agents, representatives, employees or designees in connection with Purchaser’s environmental studies.  Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser's or its Consultants' activities pursuant to this Section.  No consent by Seller to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption of liability or risk by Seller.  Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, the Property to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser's exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article III, provided the foregoing shall not require Purchaser to repair or remediate any pre-existing conditions on the Property that are merely discovered by Purchaser in the course of its investigations.  Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and commercial general liability insurance with coverages of not less than $1,000,000.00 for injury or death to any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury or death to more than one person and $1,000,000.00 with respect to property damage, and (b) worker's compensation insurance for all of their respective employees in accordance with the law of the state in which the Property is located.  Purchaser shall deliver proof of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 to Seller (in the form of a certificate of insurance) prior to Purchaser's or Purchaser's Consultants' entry onto the Property.
 3.5.            Property Materials. 
 3.5.1.                      Within 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, and to the extent the same have not already been provided by Seller to Purchaser, Seller agrees to deliver to Purchaser, or at Seller's option make available at the Property, copies of such documents and information (including any Utility Contracts) concerning the Property that are in Seller's possession or reasonable control, other than such documents and information that Seller deems to be confidential or proprietary (collectively, the "Materials").
 3.5.2.                      Except as expressly set forth in Seller's Representations, Seller makes no representations or warranties, 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 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.  All Materials and Third-Party Reports shall be returned to Seller or destroyed by Purchaser if this Contract is terminated for any reason.
 3.5.3.                      Not later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, and to the extent the same has not already been provided by Seller to Purchaser, 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, which is the rent roll Seller uses in the ordinary course of operating the Property (the "Rent Roll").  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Rent Roll other than the express representation set forth in Section 6.1.5.   
 3.5.4.                      Not later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, and to the extent the same has not already been 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") and true and correct copies of all Property Contracts (to the extent in Seller’s possession or control).  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Property Contracts List other than the express representations set forth in Section 6.1.6. 
 3.6.            Property Contracts.
   On or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser may deliver written notice to Seller (the "Property Contracts Notice") specifying any Property Contracts which Purchaser desires to terminate at the Closing (the "Terminated Contracts"); provided that (a) the effective date of such termination on or after Closing shall be subject to the express terms of such Terminated Contracts, (b) if any such Property Contract cannot by its terms be terminated at Closing, it shall be assumed by Purchaser and not be a Terminated Contract, and (c) to the extent that any such Terminated Contract requires payment of a penalty, premium, or damages, including liquidated damages, for cancellation, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees, penalties, or damages, including liquidated damages.  If Purchaser fails to deliver the Property Contracts Notice on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, then there shall be no Terminated Contracts and Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts at the Closing.  If Purchaser delivers the Property Contracts Notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, then Seller shall execute and deliver, on or before Closing, a vendor termination notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F) for each Terminated Contract informing the vendor(s) of the termination of such Terminated Contract as of the Closing Date (subject to any delay in the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to the express terms of each applicable Terminated Contract) (the "Vendor Terminations").  To the extent that any Property Contract to be assigned to Purchaser requires vendor consent, then, prior to the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to obtain from each applicable vendor a consent (each a "Required Assignment Consent") to such assignment, and Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Seller (in Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by Seller) Seller’s Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to a failure to obtain such consents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller shall terminate at or prior to the Closing, at no cost or expense to Purchaser, any and all management agreements affecting the Property.
 ARTICLE IV
TITLE
 4.1.            Title Documents.
   Within 5 days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a standard form commitment or preliminary title report (“Title Commitment”) to provide a standard American Land Title Association owner’s title insurance policy for the Land and Improvements, 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”).  Seller shall be responsible only for payment of the base premium for the Title Policy.  Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of all other costs relating to procurement of the Title Commitment, the Title Policy, and any requested endorsements. 
 4.2.            Survey.
   Subject to Section 3.5.2, within 3 Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any existing survey of the Property (the “Existing Survey”).  Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, order a new or updated survey of 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.            Objection and Response Process.
   On or before the date which is 30 days after the Effective Date (the “Objection Deadline”), Purchaser shall give written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to the attorneys for Seller of any matter set forth in the Title Documents and the Survey to which Purchaser objects (the “Objections”).  If Purchaser fails to tender an Objection Notice on or before the Objection Deadline, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and irrevocably waived any objections to any matters covered by the Title Documents and the Survey.  On or before 35 days after the Effective Date (the “Response Deadline”), Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, give Purchaser notice (the “Response Notice”) of those Objections which Seller is willing to cure, if any.  Seller shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the Objections, not to exceed 30 days in the aggregate.  If Seller fails to deliver a Response Notice by the Response Deadline, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or otherwise resolve any matter set forth in the Objection Notice.  If Purchaser is dissatisfied with the Response Notice or the lack of Response Notice, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, exercise its right to terminate this Contract prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2.  If Purchaser fails to timely exercise such right, Purchaser shall be deemed to accept the Title Documents and Survey with resolution, if any, of the Objections set forth in the Response Notice (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without any resolution of the Objections) and without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price.
 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.                      All matters shown in the Title Documents and the Survey, other than (a) those Objections, if any, which Seller has agreed to cure pursuant to the Response Notice under Section 4.3, or the Title Company has otherwise agreed to remove such Objection from the Title Policy (b) mechanics' liens and taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing, (c) the standard exception regarding the rights of parties in possession, which shall be modified to be limited to those parties in possession pursuant to the Leases, and (d) the standard exception pertaining to taxes and assessments, which shall be limited to taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date;
 4.4.2.                      All Leases;
 4.4.3.                      Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances; and
 4.4.4.                      Any defects in or objections to title to the Property, or title exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through or under Purchaser.
 4.5.            Existing Deed of Trust; Monetary Liens.
   It is understood and agreed that, whether or not Purchaser gives an Objection Notice with respect thereto, (a) any deeds of trust and/or mortgages which secure any promissory notes made by Seller and (b) any mechanic’s liens or other monetary liens evidencing indebtedness of up to $25,000 in the aggregate, shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions, whether Purchaser gives further written notice of such or not, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured from proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing.
 4.6.            Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions.
   If at any time after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, any update to the Title Commitment or Existing Survey 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, 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 the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the New Exception, not to exceed 30 days in the aggregate.  If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Purchaser within 3 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, 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, in which event the Initial Deposit shall be released to Seller and the Additional 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 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.            [Intentionally Omitted]
 4.8.            Purchaser Financing.
   Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser's acquisition of such funds shall not be a contingency to the Closing.

 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 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 and shall deliver such Proration Schedule to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date.  
 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.  Seller shall have no responsibility or liability for Purchaser's failure to arrange utility service for the Property as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Seller (in Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by Seller) Seller’s Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to Purchaser’s failure to arrange utility service as of the Closing Date (except if Purchaser’s failure to arrange such utility service is a result of Seller’s failure to deliver on or before Closing notices terminating service under Seller’s name).
 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 Seller’s obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, any operating expenses in connection with the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser 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.  Seller shall receive a credit at Closing equal to the average of the amount of the monthly utility bill associated with the Property for the preceding 12 months, multiplied by 3.  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 Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser.  For a period of 180 days following Closing, Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions (which shall not include an obligation to commence legal action) 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, second, to Purchaser’s reasonable third-party costs of such collection, and third 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 reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing; 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 the 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, pet 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 Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise.
 5.4.7.                      [intentionally left blank]
 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 Closing Date (“Risk of Loss Transfer”), 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 (i) all recording charges with respect to the Deed and other documents being recorded in connection with the conveyance of the Property, (ii) any mortgage assumption, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, (iii) any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the Title Policy pursuant to Section 4.1, and (iv) one-half of the customary escrow fee and closing costs of the Escrow Agent.  Seller shall pay (x) the base premium for the Title Policy to the extent required by Section 4.1, (y) the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property not caused by Purchaser’s actions, and (z) one-half of the customary escrow fee and closing costs of the Escrow Agent.  
 5.4.11.                  [Intentionally Omitted] 
 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 5.2.11.  Originals (to the extent reasonably available to Seller) or copies of the Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the property, and Seller's books and records (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 three (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.  If at any time after the Records Hold Period, Purchaser desires to dispose of Seller's Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser must first provide Seller prior written notice (the "Records Disposal Notice").  Seller shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the Property (or such other location where such records are then stored) and remove or copy those of Seller's Property-Related Files and Records that Seller desires to retain.
 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 the aggregate.

 6.1.12.                  To Seller’s knowledge, except for third party persons who hold direct or indirect ownership interests in Seller, the Property is not the property of or beneficially owned by a Prohibited Person.
 6.2.            AS-IS.
   Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Seller's Representations:
 6.2.1.                      The Property is expressly purchased and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS."  
 6.2.2.                      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, but 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, any 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 the Property and any representations or warranties expressly made by Seller in this Contract).  Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions in the Materials, or on account of any conditions affecting the Property.  
 6.2.3.                      Except for claims against Seller arising from a breach of Seller’s Representations (subject to Section 6.3), 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 Seller's Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions in the Materials or other conditions affecting the Property.  
 6.2.4.                      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, and, except with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Contract, 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.  
 6.2.5.                      Subject to compliance with Article VII, 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.  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 under this Contract, so long as Seller complies with Article VII. 
 6.3.            Survival of Seller's Representations.
   Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 6 months (the "Survival Period").  Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to Seller's Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has filed suit 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 $400,000 in any individual instance or in the aggregate for all breaches of Seller's Representations, nor shall Purchaser 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 Regional Property Manager and the Community Manager, the parties who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Property, 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 such Regional Property Manager and Community Manager any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager and Community Manager any individual personal liability.  As used herein, the term "Regional Property Manager" and “Community Manager” shall refer to Teresa Nicklas and Lesley Lipe, respectively, who are the regional property manager and community manager handling this Property.  
 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 affect 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 or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation 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, except for unrelated third party persons who hold direct or indirect ownership interests in Purchaser, none of Purchaser’s affiliates or parent entities 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 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).
 6.6.            Definition of Purchaser’s Knowledge.
   Any representations and warranties made “to the knowledge of Purchaser” shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry.  For purposes of this Contract, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 6.5 above, the term Purchaser’s “knowledge” shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of Kurt E. Houtkooper or David Nelson and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of Purchaser, or any affiliate of Purchaser, or to impose upon Kurt E. Houtkooper or David Nelson any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon Kurt E. Houtkooper or upon David Nelson any individual personal liability.
  
 ARTICLE VII
OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY
 7.1.            Leases and Property Contracts.
   During the period of time commencing on the Effective Date and ending on 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, 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, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any new or renewed Leases shall not have a term in excess of fourteen (14) months and any new Property Contract shall be terminable upon not more than 30 days notice without penalty.  Seller shall terminate at or prior to the Closing, at no cost or expense to Purchaser, any and all management agreements affecting the Property.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all apartment units which are vacant as of the Closing Date (each, a "Vacant Unit") in Rent Ready Condition (as hereinafter defined).  Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly inspect the Property and shall mutually agree on a list of the Vacant Units, which list shall specify those Vacant Units that are not in Rent Ready Condition. At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each Vacant Unit which is not in Rent Ready Condition as of the Closing. For purposes hereof, the term "Rent Ready Condition" shall mean interior carpets have been shampooed, interior walls have been freshly painted, kitchen appliances (and water heaters and HVAC to the extent such items serve only the individual Vacant Unit(s)) are in working order, and there is no material damage to the doors, walls, ceilings, floors and windows inside such Vacant Units.
 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, denied or delayed.  Seller agrees to maintain its existing insurance policies (or replacement policies on comparable terms) covering the Property in full force and effect through the Closing Date.
 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 voluntarily 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, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder.
 7.4.            Tax Appeals.
   If any tax reduction proceedings, tax protest proceedings or tax assessment appeals for the Property, relating to any tax years through and including the tax year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of 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 real estate taxes attributable to the tax years prior to and including the tax year in which the Closing occurs and Seller shall have the right to prosecute and/or settle the same without the consent of Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees that it shall not independently institute any tax reduction proceedings, tax protest proceedings, or tax assessment appeals for the Property with respect to the tax years prior to and including the tax year in which the Closing occurs.  Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with the prosecution and/or settlement of any tax reduction proceedings, tax protest proceedings or tax assessment appeals, including executing such documents as the other party may reasonably request in order to prosecute and/or settle any such proceedings.  Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from any tax reduction proceedings, tax protest proceedings 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.

 ARTICLE IX
BROKERAGE
 9.1.            Indemnity.
   Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with Cindy Cooke of Colliers International ("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 for, from and against all Losses relating to brokerage commissions and finder's fees arising from or attributable to the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party.  
 9.2.            Broker Commission.

 ARTICLE X
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
 10.1.        Purchaser Default.
   If Purchaser defaults on its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Initial Deposit or Additional Deposit (or any other 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 in accordance with Article II and close on the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date, 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 on 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 obligations hereunder, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligation hereunder 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 OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER  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 OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY SELLER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH SELLER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM PURCHASER FOR ANY BREACH BY PURCHASER, OF ITS COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT.   
 10.2.        Seller Default.
   If Seller (i) defaults on its obligations hereunder to deliver to Escrow Agent the deliveries specified under Section 5.2 on the date required thereunder, or to close on the sale of the Property on the Closing Date, or (ii) prior to the Closing defaults on its covenants or obligations under this Contract and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Purchaser, then, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Contract, and all payments and things of value, including the Deposit, provided by Purchaser hereunder shall be returned to Purchaser 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 this transaction, which damages shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate, or (b) subject to the conditions below, seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of the Property pursuant to this Contract (but not damages).  Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller's obligation to close on the sale of the Property pursuant to this Contract only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser shall (x) not otherwise be in default under this Contract; and (y) file suit therefor with the court on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date or the date the Closing should have occurred.  If Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance within 90 days after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Contract in accordance with subsection (a) above.  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 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 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.
   If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Risk of Loss Transfer, and the cost for demolition, site cleaning, restoration, replacement, or other repairs (collectively, the "Repairs") is more than $750,000 (a “Major Damage”), then Seller shall have no obligation to make such Repairs, and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the "Damage Notice").  If there is a Major Damage, then Purchaser may elect, by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the earlier of (x) Closing and (y) the date which is ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Notice, to terminate this Contract, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.  In the event Purchaser fails to timely terminate this Contract pursuant to this Section 11.1, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3 below.
 11.2.        Minor Damage.
   In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Risk of Loss Transfer, and such damage is not a Major Damage, 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 the 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; provided, however, that (except in the event of emergency, as determined in Seller’s sole discretion) Seller will consult with Purchaser prior to entering into any such contract if Purchaser will likely have to assume such contract.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Seller retains the sole right and authority to enter into any such contract.
 ARTICLE XII
EMINENT DOMAIN
 12.1.        Eminent Domain.
   In the event that, 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), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's option, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within 10 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-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.  It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that this section shall in no way apply to customary dedications for public purposes which may be necessary for the development of the Property.
 ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
 13.1.        Binding Effect of Contract.
   This Contract shall not be binding on either party until executed by both Purchaser and Seller.  Neither the Escrow Agent's nor the Broker's execution of this Contract shall be a prerequisite to its effectiveness.  Subject to Section 13.3, this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
 13.2.        Exhibits and Schedules.
   All Exhibits and Schedules, whether or not annexed hereto, are a part of this Contract for all purposes.
 13.3.        Assignability.
   Except to the extent required to comply with the provisions of Section 13.18 related to a 1031 Exchange, this Contract is not assignable by Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of Seller.  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 5 Business 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.  Further, Purchaser may assign this Contract without Seller’s consent to a newly-formed entity in which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser will have at least 10% equity interest and shall control the day-to-day operating responsibility of the Property as either a manager, general partner, or asset manager. 
 13.4.        Captions.
   The captions, headings, and arrangements used in this Contract are for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify, or modify the terms and provisions hereof.

All notices shall be deemed effective when actually delivered as documented in a delivery receipt; provided, however, that if the notice was sent by overnight courier or mail as aforesaid and is affirmatively refused or cannot be delivered during customary business hours by reason of the absence of a signatory to acknowledge receipt, or by reason of a change of address with respect to which the addressor did not have either knowledge or written notice delivered in accordance with this paragraph, then the first attempted delivery shall be deemed to constitute delivery.  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.  All notices shall be sent to the addressee at its address set forth following its name below:
