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.

ARTICLE V
CLOSING

5.1.            Closing Date.

  The Closing shall occur on April 10, 2012 or such earlier date as the parties may mutuall agree (such date that the Closing occurs on, the "Closing Date") through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means.  Seller shall provide Purchaser with not less than 10 days’ prior written notice of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have the option, by delivering written notice to Purchaser, to extend the Closing Date to the last Business Day of the month in which the Closing Date otherwise would occur pursuant to the preceding sentence, in connection with the payoff of the Note. 

5.2.            Seller Closing Deliveries.

5.2.8.                      Resolutions, certificates of good standing, and such other organizational documents as Title Insurer shall reasonably require evidencing Seller's authority to consummate this transaction.

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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇ 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.

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.

  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.

8.1.6.                      On the Closing Date, subject to the payment of all premiums and fees required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.1, the Title Insurer shall be committed to issue the Title Policy, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions to Purchaser's obligation to Close except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.1.  If any condition set forth in this Section 8.1 is not met, Purchaser may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date with no offset or deduction from the Purchase Price, (b) terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent (less the Initial Deposit, which shall be released to Seller), or (c) if such failure constitutes a default by Seller of its covenants hereunder, exercise any of its remedies pursuant to Section 10.2.

8.2.            Seller's Conditions to Closing.

  Without limiting any of the rights of Seller elsewhere provided for in this Contract, Seller's obligation to close with respect to conveyance of the Property under this Contract shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of the following conditions precedent:

8.2.1.                      All of the documents and funds required to be delivered by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall have been delivered;

8.2.4.                      Neither Purchaser nor Purchaser’s managing member shall be a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding;

8.2.5.                      There shall not be any pending litigation or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation threatened in writing, which, if adversely determined, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser; and

If any of the foregoing conditions to Seller's obligations to close with respect to the conveyance of the Property under this Contract are not met, Seller may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date, (b) terminate this Contract, or (c) if such failure constitutes a default by Purchaser, exercise any of its remedies pursuant to Section 10.1.

ARTICLE IX
BROKERAGE

9.1.            Indemnity.

  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ 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.

  If Closing occurs, Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission according to the terms of a separate contract.  Broker shall not be deemed a party or third party beneficiary of this Contract.  As a condition to Seller's obligation to pay the commission, Broker shall execute the signature page for Broker attached hereto solely for purposes of confirming the matters set forth therein.

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.

13.5.        Number and Gender of Words.

  Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural where appropriate, and words of any gender shall include each other gender where appropriate.

13.6.        Notices.

  All notices, demands, requests and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be (a) personally delivered with a written receipt of delivery; (b) sent by a nationally-recognized overnight delivery service requiring a written acknowledgement of receipt or providing a certification of delivery or attempted delivery; (c) sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (d) sent by confirmed facsimile transmission or electronic delivery with an original copy thereof transmitted to the recipient by one of the means described in subsections (a) through (c) no later than 3 Business Days thereafter.  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:

13.25.    Survival.

  Except for (a) all of the provisions of this Article XIII (other than Section 13.18); (b) Sections 2.3, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 7.4, 9.1, and 11.4; (c) any other provisions in this Contract, that by their express terms survive the termination of this Contract or the Closing; and (d) any payment or indemnity obligation of Purchaser under this Contract (the foregoing (a), (b), (c) and (d) referred to herein as the "Survival Provisions"), none of the terms and provisions of this Contract shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if the Contract is not so terminated, all of the terms and provisions of this Contract (other than the Survival Provisions, which shall survive the Closing) shall be merged into the Closing documents and shall not survive Closing.
