Close of Escrow shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give Buyer

Buyer, as reasonably determined by Seller; provided, however, in no event shall
Buyer be entitled to a credit to the Purchase Price under this Section 11.2.1 in
excess of ten percent (10%) of the value of the damaged property; and provided,
further, if Seller will be obligated pursuant to the foregoing to pay any such
lost rents or out-of-pocket costs to Buyer as a result of the damage, Seller
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.
11.2.2 Nonmaterial Casualty. If prior to Close of Escrow
any of the Partnership Properties or the LVA Property is damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty which is not governed by Section 11.2.1, Close of Escrow
shall take place as provided in this Agreement with a credit against the
Purchase Price equal to the cost of repairing or restoring the damaged property
plus any lost rents and out-of-pocket costs to be incurred by Buyer, as
reasonably determined by Seller; provided, however, in no event shall Buyer be
entitled to a credit to the Purchase Price under this Section 11.2.2 in excess
of ten percent (10%) of the value of the damaged property; and provided,
further, if Seller will be obligated pursuant to the foregoing to pay any such
lost rents or out-of-pocket costs to Buyer as a result of the damage, Seller
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.
