Buyer acknowledges receipt of (i) a current title commitment for an extended coverage title insurance policy with respect to the Premises issued by the Escrow Agent with an effective date of April 8, 2015 (the “Title Commitment”) and copies of all underlying documents relating to title exceptions referred to therein, and (ii) a survey of the Property dated as of February 20, 2015 (the “Survey”).  Buyer shall have until Close of Business on the sixth (6th) business day prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date to notify Seller, in writing, of such objections to title or survey as Buyer may have.  Any title or survey matter to which Buyer does not so object by such time shall be deemed a Permitted Exception.  In the event Buyer shall so notify Seller of any objection(s) to title, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objection(s), other than any defects, objections or exceptions which comprise mortgages or liens voluntarily created by Seller, and, to a maximum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) in the aggregate, involuntary liens over a liquidated sum, which can be satisfied by payment of a liquidated amount, which Seller agrees that it shall either pay, discharge or comply with at or before the Closing or 

4

make arrangement with the Title Company to insure (at normal rates) without such objection as an exception in Buyer’s Title Policy.  In the event there are any objections which Seller is not obligated to cure, then within three (3) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of objection(s), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objection(s).  Failure of Seller to give such notice shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such objection(s).  If Seller elects to attempt to cure any such matter, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cure such objections.  If Seller elects not to cure any objection(s) specified in Buyer’s notice which Seller is not required hereby to cure, or if Seller is unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have the following options to be given by written notice within three (3) business days of Seller’s notice or deemed election:  (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Buyer which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure (which such matter(s) shall thereafter be deemed to be a Permitted Exception), without reduction of the Purchase Price, or (ii) to terminate this Contract by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Contract shall terminate, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Seller (or, in the event of a New Material Title Defect, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer), and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for the Surviving Obligation, as hereinafter defined.

4.3    Post-Signing Objections

Buyer may prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objection to title (excluding objections to title or survey which have been waived by Buyer as hereinabove provided or that are or are deemed to be Permitted Exceptions) arising after the date hereof.  With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same options to cure and Buyer shall have the same option to accept title subject to such maters or to terminate this Contract, as set forth above.

ARTICLE 5.  CLOSING

13

	
	
	“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
Buyer hereby waives the provisions of such Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and the provisions of any similar laws as to the release and waiver set forth in this Article 6(b) or any other release of Seller by Buyer contained in this Contract or in the documents to be delivered at Closing.

This Article 10.2 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

10.3Negotiated Provision

Buyer realizes, agrees and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to Buyer may have given or hereafter give rise to claims which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and the release provided in this Article 10 has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Contract shall be deemed to be a release of any liability Seller may have to third parties arising prior to the Closing Date.  This Article 10 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

(g)    Except as set forth in Exhibit J attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, to the Seller’s actual knowledge, there is not now pending nor has there been threatened in writing, any action, suit or proceeding against or affecting Seller or the Property before or by any federal or state court, commission, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body, domestic or foreign, wherein an unfavorable ruling, decision or finding, upon consummation of the sale contemplated hereby to Buyer or otherwise, may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or prospects of or on the condition or operations of the Property, or would interfere with Seller's ability to consummate the transactions by this Contract.

(h)    Seller is not a "foreign person" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), Section 1445.  Seller will execute and deliver to Buyer at Closing an affidavit or certification in compliance with IRC Section 1445.

(i)    Seller is in compliance with the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 23, 2001) (the “Order”) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and in any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders or regulations in respect thereof (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation, or orders are collectively called the “Orders”).

(j)    Seller has not: (i) made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or suffered the filing of any involuntary petition by Seller’s creditors; (iii) suffered the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all, or substantially all, of Seller’s assets; (iv)

11.2    Knowledge Standard

Any representations and warranties made to the actual knowledge of Seller shall be deemed to be the current, conscious knowledge of Tim Walters, the Senior Vice President for Investments, and Deborah Coombs, the Senior Vice President for Operations for the region in which the Property is located, without imputation of knowledge or duty of investigation or inquiry.

11.3    Limitations

Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any representation or warranty which is untrue at the time of Closing and with respect to which Buyer had knowledge thereof at that time.  Furthermore, any claim for a breach of representation and warranty by Seller must be commenced by the filing of a complaint not later than December 31, 2015.  No single claim may be brought against Seller unless the amount of the claims exceeds $50,000, and Seller’s liability for all claims, in the aggregate, shall be capped at One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), which sum shall be Seller’s sole liability.

11.4    Representations and Warranties Of Buyer

Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

(a)    Buyer is a limited partnership, duly and validly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware, and at Closing will be qualified to do business in the State.  This Contract and all documents executed by Buyer that are to be delivered to Seller at the Closing are, or at the time of Closing will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer.  This Contract and such documents are, or at the Closing will be, legal, valid, and binding obligations of Buyer, and do not, and, at the time of Closing will not, violate any provisions of any agreement or judicial order to which Buyer is a party or to which it is subject.

(b)    There are no proceedings pending or, to Buyer's knowledge, threatened against it in any court or before any governmental authority or any tribunal which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its ability to purchase the Property or to carry out its obligations under this Contract.

(c)    Buyer is in compliance with the Orders.

ARTICLE 12.  OPERATIONS

12.1    Operational Covenants

(a)    Between the date hereof and the Closing, Seller agrees hereby that it will maintain, operate, rent and manage the Property in its customary manner as of the date of this Contract.  Until the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain insurance on the Premises as currently insured.

(b)    Seller shall not remove any material item of the Personal Property from the Premises unless the same is obsolete and is replaced by tangible personal property of equal or greater utility and value.

16

(c)    Seller shall not without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, enter into any contract (but excluding new leases entered into in the ordinary course of business) which could bind Buyer or the Property after the Closing unless the same may be canceled on thirty (30) days’ notice at no cost.  Failure of Buyer to respond within three (3) business days of written request from Seller for consent shall be deemed consent by Buyer.

(d)    Seller will give Buyer prompt written notice of any threatened or actual litigation, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, governmental investigation or proceeding concerning or affecting the Property which is instituted after the date of this Contract and for  which Seller has received written notice. 

(e)    To the extent that any rental units become vacant at the Property more than five  (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause such vacant units to be put in rent ready condition in accordance with Seller's present Property operations, and if Seller fails to place such units in rent ready condition by the Closing Date (“Non-Rent Ready Unit”), Seller shall grant to Buyer a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00) for each such Non-Rent Ready Unit.  Units that become vacant five (5) business days or less prior to the Closing shall be assumed to be non-rent ready and accordingly, Buyer shall receive the applicable rent ready credit(s) therefor.  Rent-ready condition shall mean the condition in which Seller currently delivers vacant units to new tenants at the Property, painted and cleaned, with all appliances, fixtures, and equipment therein in good working order.  In connection with the covenant in this Section 12.1(e), within two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer will be permitted to inspect the vacant units at the Property with a representative of Seller upon not less than 24 hours prior notice to Seller to determine what units are not in rent ready condition.

(f)    Seller will promptly give written notice to Buyer of all written notices received by Seller asserting any breach or default under any of the Leases or the Operating Contracts or any violation of any licenses and permits or any covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinates applicable to the Property.

12.2    Operating Contracts

(a)    Not less than three (3) business days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer shall give Seller notice specifying the Operating Contracts (other than those designated on Exhibit I as Operating Contracts that must be assumed by Buyer), if any, that Buyer requires Seller to terminate (the “Terminated Contracts”).    Seller shall send notice to the vendors terminating the Terminated Contracts.   Any Terminated Contract for which notice of termination has been given, but which will not terminate until after Closing due to a required minimum notice period, shall not be deemed a Terminated Contract and shall be assumed by Buyer.

(b)    Buyer shall assume all of the Operating Contracts other than the Terminated Contracts.

(c)    If the assignment of an Operating Contract requires the consent of the vendor and Seller is unable to obtain the required consent, then the Operating Contract shall be terminated by Seller at its expense.

17

ARTICLE 13.  CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS AND COSTS

13.1    Pro-Rations

(a)    All normal and customarily pro-ratable items, including without limitation, real estate taxes (based upon the most recent tax bills with a readjustment as specified below), and personal property taxes and assessments, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected rents and other income, and Operating Contract payments (under Operating Contracts assumed by Buyer including those for which notice of termination has been given pursuant to section 12.2(a) but have not yet expired), shall be prorated in escrow as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged and credited for all of the same relating to the period up to the Closing Date and Buyer being charged and credited for all of the same relating to the period on and after the Closing Date.

(b)    If Closing occurs before that year's tax bills are available, the proration will be based on the latest tax rate applied to the latest tax value.  If an estimated proration is made, then after the taxes and assessments for the year in which the Closing occurs are finally assessed, within 30 days after demand, Buyer shall refund to Seller any amount overpaid by Seller or Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any deficiency in the proration.

(c)    No proration shall be made in relation to delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date.  In adjusting for uncollected rents, no adjustment shall be made in Seller's favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of Closing, but Buyer shall pay Seller such accrued and unpaid rents, as and when collected by Buyer, it being agreed that Buyer shall not be deemed to have collected any such arrearages attributable to the period prior to Closing until such time as the tenant is current in the payment of all rents accruing in the month of and after the Closing.  Buyer agrees to bill tenants of the Property for all past due rents and to take any additional reasonable actions requested by Seller to collect rents that are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, provided that Buyer shall not be obligated to incur any out‐of‐pocket third party expense in connection with such actions and Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action to terminate a tenancy.  Seller reserves the right to bring suit against tenants of the Property to collect for accrued but unpaid rents owed Seller as of the Closing Date, but Seller may not, subsequent to Closing, bring suit for possession of the premises occupied by such tenants.   Non-refundable fees or deposits, including pet deposits, amenity fees, pet fees, application fees, or parking fees, paid by tenants to Seller prior to the Closing Date shall not be prorated.  Buyer shall receive a credit for all Security Deposits, together with accrued interest as required by the Leases or by law.

(d)    Seller shall terminate all utility accounts in its name as of the Closing Date.  Any deposits in connection with such utility accounts shall be released to Seller and shall not be assigned to Buyer at Closing.  Buyer shall arrange to have all necessary utility accounts opened and deposits made in Buyer’s name as of the Closing Date.  To the extent utilities are in the name of any tenant, Buyer shall notify the utility providers that, as of the Closing Date, upon the termination of any utilities in the name of any tenant, the utility service shall revert to Buyer and Seller shall have no liability therefor.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller recovers the cost of certain utility services originally paid for by Seller by billing each tenant in arrears for an allocated share of those utility costs (collectively, the “Utility Reimbursements”).  At Closing, Seller shall receive a credit representing two (2) months’ average utility billings for the Property (based upon the prior six (6) month average) as an estimate of the amount of Utility Reimbursements accruing before Closing, but not payable until after the Closing, which amount shall be reasonably approved by Seller and Buyer.  Buyer shall bill tenants for Utility Reimbursements that are uncollected as of the Closing Date, and for Utility Reimbursements that relate to periods prior to the Closing Date, but for which reimbursement amounts have not yet been billed (collectively, the “Uncollected Utilities”).  Buyer shall bill and collect Uncollected Utilities in the same manner as Uncollected Rents (as defined below).  For Utility 

18

Reimbursements not yet billed to tenants, Seller shall provide to Buyer the allocation worksheets, when available, to enable Buyer to bill tenants.

(e)    Insurance premiums shall not be prorated.  Neither insurance policies nor, except as contemplated in Article 5, any claims or amounts payable under insurance policies will be assigned to Buyer.  Seller shall be entitled to all refunds of any premiums for insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Property.

(f)    Except as provided above with respect to real estate taxes and assessments, the provisions of this section 13.1 shall survive the Closing for a period of ninety (90) days at which time there will be a one-time readjustment, if necessary.

(g)    Seller bears responsibility for all tenant improvement costs and/or brokerage commissions due and owing with respect to any of the Leases related to the period prior to the Closing Date.

13.2    Closing Costs

Except as hereinafter specifically provided, Seller and Buyer shall allocate all closing costs between them in accordance with standard practice in the local jurisdiction in which the Property is located.  Each of Seller and Buyer shall be responsible for preparing such documents as it is obligated to deliver pursuant to Article 5 hereof and for its own legal expenses.  Seller and Buyer agree to allocate closing costs as follows:

(i)    Transfer taxes shall be paid by Seller.

(ii)    Seller shall pay the premium for the basic title insurance coverage for Buyer’s Title Policy and Buyer shall pay the premium for extended title insurance coverage and any endorsements.

(iii)    Survey expenses shall be paid by Buyer.

(iv)    The cost of preparation and recordation of any releases and termination statements required to clear title to the Property shall be paid by Seller.

(v)    The cost of recordation of the Deed shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer.

(vi)    Escrow charges, if any, shall be split equally between Seller and Buyer.

13.3    Closing Statement

Escrow Agent shall prepare the Closing Statement setting forth the manner of computation of the closing adjustments and costs, the first draft of which should be provided to the parties no later than two (2) full business days prior to Closing.

19

ARTICLE 14.  BROKER

14.1    Indemnity

Each party represents hereby to the other that it dealt with no broker in the consummation of this Contract except for Moran and Company ("Broker"), and each party indemnifies the other from any claim arising from the breach of such representation by the indemnifying party.  This indemnity shall survive Closing.

14.2    Payment of Commission

Any commission due Broker shall be paid by Seller through the Escrow upon the Closing, as provided in a separate agreement between Seller and Broker, and Escrow Agent shall obtain and provide to Buyer and Seller a receipt from such broker at Closing.

ARTICLE 15.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

15.1    Recording

It is agreed hereby that this Contract shall not be filed for recording with any governmental body.

15.2    Notice

Any notice, consent or approval required or permitted to be given under this Contract shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon (i) hand delivery, (ii) one business day after being deposited with Federal Express or another reliable overnight courier service for next day deliver, (iii) upon facsimile or e-mail  transmission (except that if the date of such transmission is not a business day, then such notice shall be deemed to be given on the first business day following such transmission), or (iv) two business days after being deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt required, and addressed as follows:

(b)    Subject to Buyer's right to assign this Contract to an entity controlled by or under common control with Buyer or its affiliates prior to Closing without Seller’s consent, in which case Buyer shall remain fully liable hereunder, Buyer may not assign this Contract nor any of the rights or benefits thereof including, without limitation, the benefit of the representations and warranties contained in Article 11 hereof, to any third party either before or after the Closing without the written consent of Seller which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, and any such unauthorized attempted assignment shall be null and void.   

 15.5    Governing Law

The laws of the state, commonwealth, or federal district in which the Property is located (the “State”) shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Contract.

22

15.9    Waiver of Jury Trial

15.11    Like-Kind Exchange

Buyer shall be responsible for all costs associated with this audit.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Buyer’s auditor in the conduct of such audit, which will include verbal requests for information regarding internal controls and follow-up questions on the financial information provided to the Buyer.   In connection with the foregoing, (i) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Buyer’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Buyer or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Buyer such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15.13 to the contrary, (i) in no event shall Seller have any liability or obligation to Seller whatsoever arising out of, or in connection with, Buyer’s exercise of its rights under this Section 15.13, including without limitation, as a result of any information discovered by Buyer or any of its agents in its audits or other review of information provided 

23

pursuant to this Section,  and (ii)  the provisions of this Section 15.13 derogate from, or limit in any manner, the provisions of Article 10 hereof.

ARTICLE 16.  CONFIDENTIALITY

Buyer agrees to hold all materials and information related to the Property and this transaction, including the existence and terms of this Contract, whether received from Seller, third parties, or generated by Buyer, in the strictest confidence and not disclose the same to any third parties; provided, however, Buyer may disclose such information for use only in connection with evaluating this transaction to its officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, potential investors, potential lenders and their advisors and agents so long as such persons are informed by Buyer of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by Buyer to treat such information confidentially.  If this Contract is terminated prior to the Closing Date, all such confidences shall continue to be maintained.  In the event this Contract is terminated, whether before or after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Buyer and its respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys, and agents shall deliver to the Seller, upon request, all documents and other materials, and all copies thereof, obtained from Seller or its agents in connection with this Contract.  Any public announcement of this transaction shall be made only with the mutual approval of Seller and Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Buyer shall be permitted to make filings and disclosures related to the transactions contemplated by this Contract as may, in such party’s reasonable judgment, be required by applicable law, including, without limitation, disclosures required to be made to the Securities and Exchange Commission, provided such party obtains consent to the content of such disclosure from such other party, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Buyer shall be deemed to have obtained Seller’s consent to any disclosure (i) if Seller fails to respond to Buyer’s request for consent within two (2) business days and (ii) if the content of such disclosure is identical or substantially similar to the form 8-K approved by Seller prior to the date of this Contract.  By execution of this Contract, Escrow Agent hereby agrees to maintain the existence of this Contract and the nature and details of the transaction contemplated hereby in confidence, unless Escrow Agent is required by law to disclose some or all of such information.

ARTICLE 17.  DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ESCROW AGENT

17.1    Application of Deposit

Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller or Buyer promptly after receiving a joint written notice from Seller and Buyer directing the disbursement of the same, such disbursement to be made in accordance with such direction.  If Escrow Agent receives written notice from Buyer or Seller that the party giving such notice is entitled to the Deposit, which notice shall describe with reasonable specificity the reasons for such entitlement, then Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly give notice to the other party of  Escrow Agent's receipt of such notice and enclosing a copy of such notice and (ii) subject to the provisions of the following section, on the tenth (10th) business day after the giving of the notice referred to in clause (i) above, deliver the Deposit to the party claiming the right to receive it.

17.2    Dispute

If Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or actions hereunder or shall receive instructions or a notice from Buyer or Seller which are in conflict with instructions or a notice from the other party or which, in the reasonable opinion of Escrow Agent, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Contract, it shall be entitled to take any of the following courses of action:

24

(a)    Hold the Deposit (and any other documents received by Escrow Agent) as provided in this Contract and decline to take any further action until Escrow Agent receives a joint written direction from Buyer and Seller or any order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the disbursement of the Deposit (and, if applicable such other documents), in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Deposit (and, if applicable, such other documents) in accordance with such direction;

(b)    In the event of litigation between Buyer and Seller, Escrow Agent may deliver the Deposit (and any other documents received by Escrow Agent) to the clerk of any court in which such litigation is pending; or

(c)    Escrow Agent may deliver the Deposit (and any other documents received by Escrow Agent) to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader, the cost thereof to Escrow Agent to be borne by whichever of Buyer or Seller does not prevail in the litigation.

17.3    Liability; Miscellaneous

(a)    Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Contract and it may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon an opinion of counsel and upon any directions, instructions, notice, certificate, instrument, request, paper or other documents believed by it to be genuine and to have been made, sent, signed or presented by the proper party or parties.  In no event shall Escrow Agent's liability hereunder exceed the aggregate amount of the Deposit.  Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to take any legal action in connection with the Deposit or this Contract or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or legal proceedings which would or might, in its sole opinion, involve it in cost, expense, loss or liability unless, in advance, and as often as reasonably required by it, Escrow Agent shall be furnished with such security and indemnity as it finds reasonably satisfactory against all such cost, expense, loss or liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Buyer and Seller jointly indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any loss, liability or expense incurred without bad faith on its part and arising out of or in  connection with its services under the terms of this Contract, including the cost and expense of defending itself against any claim of liability.

(b)    Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Contract affecting Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder unless the same is in writing and signed by Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent.  From time to time on or after the date hereof, Buyer and Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments that fall due, or cause to be done such further acts as Escrow Agent may reasonably request (it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to make any such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Contract, to evidence compliance with this Contract or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(c)    Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, Escrow Agent shall serve hereunder without fee for its services as escrow agent, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred hereunder, which expenses shall be paid and borne equally by Buyer and Seller, unless such expenses are associated with litigation between Buyer and Seller, in which event they shall be borne by the party that does not prevail in the litigation.  Escrow Agent agrees that it will not seek reimbursement for the services of its employees or partners, but only for its actual and reasonably incurred out‐of‐pocket expenses.

25

ARTICLE 18.     PROHIBITION OF CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION.  

Buyer represents, warrants and covenants to Seller that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer shall not, for a period ending on December 31, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), convert the Property into condominiums or similar forms of subdivided ownership.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer further agrees that (a) the prohibition against condominium conversions is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof, (b) if Buyer sells or otherwise transfers the Property prior to the Termination Date, then Buyer shall notify its buyer in writing of this restriction and include a similar prohibition against condominium conversions in any purchase and sale or similar agreement to so transfer the Property, (c) Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the Seller Group harmless, from any and all claims, losses, proceedings, damages, causes of action, liability, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees)  resulting from Buyer’s breach of the representation, warranty and covenant contained in this Article 18, without in any way limiting the materiality of the other provisions of this Contract, the provisions of this Article 18 are material and included as a material portion of the consideration given by Buyer to Seller in exchange for Seller’s performance under this Contract, (e) Buyer acknowledges that Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Article 18, and (f) Buyer’s obligations under this Article 18 shall expressly survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.  In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its breach of the terms and conditions of this Article 18 will constitute immediate and irreparable damage to the Seller, which cannot be fully and adequately compensated in money damages and which will warrant preliminary and other injunctive relief, an order for specific performance, and other equitable relief.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer further agrees that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such equitable relief and Buyer hereby consent to the remedy of an injunction or specific performance to the extent Seller is entitled thereto.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller’s remedies hereunder are cumulative and other action may be taken and remedies enforced against it in the event of a breach of this Section.  At the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall, at Seller’s election, incorporate the foregoing prohibition into the Deed or a memorandum of agreement (the “Memorandum”) which shall be recorded in the Official Records of Orange County at the Closing after the Deed but, in all events, prior to any deeds of trust or other instruments securing any financing obtained by Buyer to acquire the Property.

CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS
ENTITY TRANSFEROR

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by [name of transferor] (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

1.    Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2.    Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) [or Transferor is a disregarded entity and __________ is its sole member];

3.    Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is _________________; and

4.    Transferor’s office address is __________________________________________________.

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification, and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
