ARTICLE II
 
DUE DILIGENCE
Section 2.01.     Title Insurance.
(a)    Title Commitments and Title Policies.  Purchaser shall promptly order owner’s title insurance commitments (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) with respect to the Properties issued by the Title Company, for ALTA Owner’s Extended Coverage Title Insurance Policies or, in the case of Texas Property, the Texas equivalent, together with any endorsements, that Purchaser may reasonably require (collectively, the “Title Policies”).  Purchaser shall provide the Title Company with the title policies for the Properties insuring Seller’s title and request reissue credit, if available.  Purchaser shall cause copies of the Title Commitments, all exception documents, and all related Surveys to be delivered to Seller no later than the date upon which Purchaser delivers its Title Objection for the Properties, which shall be no later than 3:00 p.m. MST/5:00 p.m. EST 21 days after the Effective Date unless otherwise agreed by the parties.  All costs related to the Title Policies, escrow fees and other closing costs shall be included in Transaction Costs, payable as set forth in Section 1.05.
(b)    Title Company.  The Title Company is hereby employed by the parties to act as escrow agent in connection with this Transaction.  This Agreement shall be used as instructions to the Title Company, as escrow agent, which may provide its standard conditions of acceptance of escrow; provided, however, that in the event of any inconsistency between such standard conditions of acceptance and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.  The Title Company’s receipt of this Agreement and the opening of an escrow pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute conclusive evidence of the Title Company’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pertaining to the Title Company.
(c)    Title Company Actions.  The Title Company is authorized to pay, from any funds held by it for each party’s respective credit, all amounts necessary to procure the delivery of any documents required by this Agreement to be delivered and to pay, on behalf of Purchaser and Seller, all charges and obligations payable by them hereunder, respectively.  Seller and Purchaser will pay all charges payable by them pursuant to this Agreement to the Title Company.  The Title Company shall not cause the Transaction to close unless and until it has received written instructions from Purchaser and Seller to do so.  The Title Company is authorized, in the event any conflicting demand is made upon it concerning these instructions or the escrow, at its election, to hold any documents and/or funds deposited hereunder until an action shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of Seller and Purchaser or to interplead such documents and/or funds in an action brought in any such court.  Deposit by the Title Company of such documents and funds, after deducting therefrom its reasonable charges, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any such court action, shall relieve the Title Company of all further liability and responsibility for such documents and funds.
(d)    Title Objections.
(i)    Within seven (7) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of both a Title Commitment and the related Survey for each Property, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s objection to any exceptions or other title matters shown on any Title Commitment or the related Survey (each, a “Title Objection”).  At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date,  Seller shall notify Purchaser whether it will attempt to cure the Title Objections and which, if not all, Title Objections it will attempt to cure.  Based on Seller’s response, Purchaser may elect to (A) give Seller additional time to cure, and the parties will delay Closing for the period of time necessary for Seller to attempt to cure, not to exceed 30 days beyond the original Closing Date, (B) terminate the Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination; or (C) remove the applicable Property or Properties from the Properties to be conveyed hereunder, with an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, and proceed to close with respect to the remaining Properties.  If Purchaser elects to have Seller attempt to cure the Title Objections that Seller agreed to address, Seller shall have the option to extend the Closing Date -- and the parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement to that effect -- up to 30 days in order to cure such of those Title Objections Seller has agreed to

cure.  If Seller is unable to cure those Title Objections it has agreed to cure within the agreed-upon time period, then Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole remedy, upon written notice to Seller on or before the amended Closing Date, to (A) terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination; or (B) remove the applicable Property or Properties from the Properties to be conveyed hereunder, with an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller, and proceed to close with respect to the remaining Properties.
(ii)    If any supplement to a Title Commitment or the related Survey discloses any additional title defects which were not created by or with the consent of Purchaser, and which are not acceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its objection thereto (each, an “Additional Title Objection”) within five (5) days following receipt of such supplement or revision.  If any Additional Title Objection is not removed or resolved by Seller to Purchaser’s satisfaction at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole remedy, to (A) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller on or before the Closing Date, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination; or (B) remove the applicable Property or Properties from the Properties to be conveyed hereunder, with an appropriate adjustment to the Purchase Price, and proceed to close with respect to the remaining Properties.
(iii)    Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver a Title Objection or an Additional Title Objection shall be deemed Purchaser’s acceptance of the matters disclosed by the Title Commitments and the related Surveys.  If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement by reason of any Title Objection or Additional Title Objection, as provided in this Section 2.01, then such Title Objection or Additional Title Objection shall be deemed waived and approved by Purchaser and shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance.
Section 2.02.     Seller Documents.  With reasonable promptness, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the following items to the extent the same exist and are in Seller’s possession or under its control (collectively, the “Seller Documents”): (a) all surveys related to the Properties; (b) all environmental reports related to the Properties (including without limitation, Phase I and Phase II environmental investigation reports); (c) all appraisals or valuations related to the Properties; (d) all guaranties and warranties in effect with respect to all or any portion of the Properties; (e) financial statements of the Seller Entities and unit-level financial statements for the previous three years; (f) all property condition reports related to the Properties; and (g) all other documents related to the ownership, lease and operation of the Properties, and reasonably requested by Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, as of the Effective Date, Seller has provided to Purchaser all Seller Documents in its possession.
Section 2.03.     Survey.  Purchaser shall order a current ALTA/ACSM “as built” survey as required for each Property from one or more surveyors selected by Purchaser (collectively, the “Surveys”), together with (a) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that each Property fully complies with all zoning ordinances of the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over each Property (“Zoning Evidence”) (except in the case of Texas Property not subject to zoning), and (b) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that none of the Properties is within a 100-year flood plain or a “Special Flood Hazard Area” as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  Purchaser shall provide to the surveyors the Seller’s surveys of the Properties.  The Surveys shall show all improvements and shall plot all exceptions shown on the applicable Title Commitment (to the extent plottable), certified in favor of Purchaser, any requested Affiliate of Purchaser and Title Company in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and prepared in accordance with the appropriate “ALTA/ACSM” minimum standards.  The cost of the Surveys shall be included in Transaction Costs, payable as set forth in Section 1.05. 
Section 2.04.     Environmental.  Purchaser shall order a current complete Phase I environmental investigation report for each of the Properties for which Seller has not provided a current Phase I and update to any current Phase I provided by Seller (provided that the engineer can deliver an updated Phase I in a timely manner and at a cost savings), and if any environmental investigation report recommends additional subsurface investigation of any Property, Seller shall permit Purchaser to perform such additional subsurface investigation (each Phase I environmental investigation report and each additional subsurface investigation report, an “Environmental Report”),

from an environmental inspection company selected by Purchaser, detailing and analyzing certain aspects of any such Property; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller fails or refuses to permit any such additional subsurface investigation or is unwilling to obtain environmental insurance providing coverage acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination.  The cost of the Environmental Reports shall be included in Transaction Costs, payable as set forth in Section 1.05. 
Section 2.05.     Valuation.  Purchaser shall order current site inspections and valuations of the Properties, separately stating values for the Real Property and improvements for each of the Properties, from one or more parties selected by Purchaser (each a “Valuation”, and collectively, the “Valuations”).  Purchaser shall provide to the appraisers any existing appraisals provided as part of the Seller’s Documents.  Each Valuation shall be in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser, and shall be certified to Purchaser and any requested Affiliate of Purchaser.

(i)    Seller’s representations and warranties are for the personal benefit of the Purchaser and no such representation or warranty may be assigned to or enforced by any other Person, except any permitted assignee or any assignee consented to by Seller.
(ii)    Whenever a representation or warranty is made in this Agreement on the basis of the best knowledge or the actual knowledge of Seller or words of similar import, or whether Seller has received written notice, such representation or warranty is made with the exclusion of any facts disclosed to or otherwise actually know by Purchaser before the expiration of the Inspection Period, and is made solely on the basis of the actual, as distinguished from implied, imputed or constructive, knowledge on the date that such representation or warranty is made, of the applicable Property Representative for the relevant Property, whom Seller represents to be the representative of Seller having responsibility for the management and sale of the Property and accordingly the individual responsible for being informed of matters relevant to this Agreement, without independent investigation or inquiry, and without attribution to said applicable Property Representative of facts and matters otherwise within the personal knowledge of any other agent or employees of Seller or any other Person, and excluding, whether or not actually known by the applicable Property Representative, any matter actually known to Purchaser, in writing or otherwise, as of the expiration of the Inspection Period.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the individual(s) named above are named solely for the purpose of defining and narrowing the scope of the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s knowledge and not for the purpose of imposing any liability on or creating any duties running on the part of such individual(s).  Purchaser and Seller covenant that no action of any kind will be brought against such individual(s) related to or arising out of this Agreement.  Purchaser’s knowledge of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller shall not release Seller from liability for such breach or misrepresentation except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (iii) and (iv) below.
(iii)    If, before the Closing Date, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge that any of the Seller’s representations or warranties is inaccurate and Purchaser nonetheless proceeds with the Closing, Seller shall not have any liability for any such matter regarding which Purchaser had actual knowledge before the Closing Date.  
(iv)    All representations and warranties of Seller made in this Agreement shall be true as of the date of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been made again at and as of the Closing Date, shall be true at and as of the Closing Date, and, together with the covenants made by Seller herein, shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year. 
(v)    Other than the representations and warranties set forth herein, neither Seller nor any other agent, partner, employee, or representative of Seller has made any representation or warranty regarding the physical condition of the Property, or any part thereof, or anything relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 4.02.     Purchaser.  Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Seller as follows:
(a)    Organization and Authority.  Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation.

The Person who has executed this Agreement on behalf of Purchaser has been duly authorized to do so.
(b)    Enforceability of Documents.  Upon execution by Purchaser, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be

ARTICLE VII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.01.     Transaction Characterization.
(a)    The parties intend that (i) all components of the Transaction shall be considered a single integrated transaction and shall not be severable; and (ii) the Lease shall constitute a single master lease of all, but not less than all, of the Properties, unless the parties otherwise agree as provided for herein, and is a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to all, but not less than all, of the Properties, and none of the Lease or Lessee’s rights, obligations or duties may be divided or otherwise allocated by Lessee among the Properties.
(b)    The parties intend that the conveyance of the Properties to Purchaser be an absolute conveyance in effect as well as form, and that the instruments of conveyance to be delivered at Closing shall not serve or operate as a mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, trust conveyance or financing or trust arrangement of any kind, nor as a preference or fraudulent conveyance against any creditors of Seller.  After the execution and delivery of the Deeds, Seller will have no legal or equitable interest or any other claim or interest in the Properties, other than the interest, if any, set forth in the Lease.  The parties also intend for the Lease to be a true lease and not a transaction creating a financing lease, capital lease, equitable mortgage, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other financing arrangement, and the economic realities of the Lease are those of a true lease.  Notwithstanding the existence of the Lease, neither party shall contest the validity, enforceability or characterization of the sale and purchase of the Properties by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement as an absolute conveyance, and both parties shall support the intent expressed herein that the purchase of the Properties by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement provides for an absolute conveyance and does not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs.
(c)    Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Affiliate to, at any time, take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the preparation or filing of any statement or disclosure to Governmental Authority, including without limitation, any income tax return (including an amended income tax return), to the extent that such action or such failure to take action would be inconsistent with the intention of the parties expressed in this Section 7.01.
Section 7.02.     Risk of Loss.
(a)    Condemnation.  If, prior to Closing, action is initiated to take any of the Properties, or any portion thereof, by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser may elect at or prior to Closing, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination, (ii) remove the applicable Property or Properties from the Properties to be conveyed hereunder, with an appropriate adjustment to the Purchase Price, and proceed to close with respect to the remaining Properties, or (iii)proceed to close, in which event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.
(b)    Casualty.  Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to any of the Properties by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated.  If any of the Properties, or any part thereof, suffers any damage prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, does not elect to fully repair, Purchaser may elect at or prior to Closing, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination, (ii) remove the applicable Property or Properties from the Properties to be conveyed hereunder, with an adjustment to the Purchase Price agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser, and proceed to close with respect to the remaining Properties, or (iii) consummate the Closing, in which event all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage (less an amount equal to any expense and costs reasonably incurred by Seller to repair or restore

the Properties, which shall be payable to Seller upon Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of satisfactory evidence thereof), to the extent that the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Purchase Price, shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of Seller’s deductible at Closing.
(c)    Maintenance of the Properties and Insurance.  From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall continue to maintain the Properties or cause the Properties to be maintained in good condition and repair, and shall continue to maintain or cause to be maintained all insurance for the Properties in the same or greater amounts, with the same or greater coverage, and subject to the same or lower deductibles as in existence as of the Effective Date.
Section 7.03.     Notices.  All notices, demands, designations, certificates, requests, offers, consents, approvals, appointments and other instruments given pursuant to this Agreement (collectively called “Notices”) shall be in writing and given by (a) hand delivery, (b) express overnight delivery service, (c) email transmission, or (d) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been delivered upon (i) receipt, if hand delivered, (ii) the next Business Day, if delivered by a reputable express overnight delivery service, (iii) receipt of confirmation of email, if delivered by email, or (iv) the third Business Day following the day of deposit of such notice with the United States Postal Service, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
