Escrow Agent shall not be accountable for any incidental benefit which may be attributable to the funds so deposited. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by the failure, suspension, bankruptcy or dissolution of the Depository.

(i) Escrow Agent shall not be liable for loss or damage resulting from:

(i) any good faith act or forbearance of Escrow Agent;

(ii) any default, error, action or omission of any party, other than Escrow Agent;

(iii) any defect in the title to any property;

Such costs, expenses or attorney’s fees may be deducted from the Deposit.

(k) If Escrow Agent is made a party to any judicial, non-judicial or administrative action, hearing or process based on acts of any of the other parties hereto and not on the malfeasance and/or negligence of Escrow Agent in performing its duties hereunder, the expenses, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Escrow Agent in responding to such action, hearing or process may be deducted from the funds held hereunder and the party/parties whose alleged acts are a basis for such proceedings shall indemnify, save and hold Escrow Agent harmless from said expenses, costs and fees so incurred.

A. Upon full execution of this Agreement, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with copy of the Seller’s survey of the Property dated May 29, 2001, last revised June 25, 2001, prepared by Rochester & Associates, Inc.. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Seller will provide Purchaser with a current updated survey of the Property at Seller’s expense (the “Survey"). Purchaser shall have the right to obtain any survey of the Property desired by Purchaser. The legal description contained in the Deed (hereinafter defined in Section IV A hereof) shall be that set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. However, if requested by Purchaser, at Closing, Seller shall execute a Quit-Claim Deed in favor of Purchaser which will contain a legal description based upon the Survey.

B. Seller shall obtain within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date and deliver to Purchaser an owner’s title insurance commitment (the “Commitment”) from First American Title Insurance Company, Atlanta, Georgia (the “Title Company”), together with legible copies of all matters referred to therein as exceptions to title. Prior to forty (40) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement of any objections to Seller’s title to the Property and any objections as to matters disclosed by the Survey or any other survey obtained by Purchaser. Seller shall have until forty-five (45) business days after the Effective Date to cure any such objections, but Seller shall have no obligation to cure any such objections. In the event Seller fails or refuses to cure such objections on or before forty-five (45) business days after the Effective Date, then Purchaser shall elect by written notice to Seller on or before the fiftieth (50^th) business day after the Effective Date, to either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof except for the Inspection Indemnity (defined in Section XIII A below); or (ii) waive such objections and consummate the transaction contemplated herein without reduction of the Purchase Price. If Purchaser does not provide Seller written notice of Purchaser’s election as above provided, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such objections as provided in the aforesaid item (ii). Seller shall not be obligated to cure any objections. All matters as to which Purchaser has agreed to accept title subject to in accordance with this Section III B are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”.

C. Purchaser shall have the right to have its title examination and Survey updated until the Closing Date (hereinafter defined), and if any such update discloses any new title exceptions or survey matters as to which Purchaser has an objection and which were not of record as of the date of the Commitment, as to title matters, or which were not shown on the Survey, as to survey matters (any such new matter being referred to as a “new objection”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement of any such new objections and Seller shall have until the Closing Date to cure all such new objections. In the event that Seller fails to cure such new objections on or before the Closing Date (i) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before the Closing Date, whereupon Purchaser shall receive a full refund of so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent, and thereafter this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason hereof

except for the Inspection Indemnity, or (ii) Purchaser may cure such new objections created or suffered by Seller and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from the Purchase Price otherwise payable by Purchaser at Closing; or (iii) Purchaser may waive such objections and consummate the transaction contemplated herein without reduction of the Purchase Price.

B. There are no parties in possession of the Property or entitled to possession thereof other than Seller.

ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT NOTWITHSTANDING, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD AND CONVEYED HEREUNDER, “AS IS, WHERE IS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS” WITH NO RIGHT OF SETOFF OR DEDUCTION TO THE PURCHASE PRICE AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY SELLER EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND IS NOT MAKING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER

WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS, SUITABILITY OF SOIL OR GEOLOGY, ABSENCE OF DEFECTS OR HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR WASTE. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND REPRESENTS THAT PURCHASER IS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT RELYING UPON ANY SUCH STATEMENT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER OR BY ANY AGENT OR ANY OTHER PERSON AND BASED SOLELY UPON PURCHASER’S OWN INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTY. PURCHASER, FOR PURCHASER AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES SELLER FROM AND WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITY AGAINST SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF ANY PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION IN, AT, ABOUT OR UNDER THE PROPERTY AND FURTHER RELEASES SELLER FROM AND WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITY AGAINST SELLER ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION AND QUALITY OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PRESENCE, DISCOVERY OR REMOVAL OF ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE, HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES, AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT, THE TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT, AND THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT, IN EACH CASE, AS AMENDED, AND AS MAY BE FURTHER AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL OR STATE LAWS OR REGULATIONS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS IN, AT, ABOUT OR UNDER THE PROPERTY. AS BETWEEN PURCHASER AND SELLER, PURCHASER ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ALL OBLIGATIONS ARISING SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSING AND ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN, AT, ABOUT OR UNDER THE PROPERTY, AND AGREES TO INDEMNIFY SELLER FROM ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE PRESENCE ON, OR RELEASE FROM, THE PROPERTY OF ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE OR HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES ARISING SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSING AND OCCURRING DURING THE PURCHASER’S OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, THE AGREEMENTS OF PURCHASER SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE AT ANY TIME.

As used herein, the words “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or words of similar import shall mean and refer to the actual and not constructive knowledge, without investigation, of Charles S. Roberts, the President of Roberts Realty Investors, Inc., the general partner of Roberts Properties Residential, L.P., and not anything which he should have known but did not actually know.

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Article X shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months only and shall not be merged in the Deed or in any of the other documents executed and delivered at Closing. Purchaser must file any lawsuit respecting a violation or breach of any of Seller’s warranties or representations contained in this Agreement within six (6) months after the Closing Date, and in the event that Purchaser does not file such a lawsuit within six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller’s warranties and representations, and Purchaser’s rights in respect thereto, shall be terminated, null and void and of no further force or effect.

ARTICLE XI — DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

A. In the event that the transaction contemplated herein is not closed and consummated because of Purchaser’s failure or breach to perform its obligations hereunder, as Seller’s sole remedy Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller as Seller’s liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, it being otherwise difficult or impossible to determine Seller’s actual damages. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is impossible to estimate the actual damages Seller would suffer from Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, but that the liquidated damages provided herein represent a reasonable pre-estimate of such damages and Seller and Purchaser therefore intend to provide for liquidated damages as herein specified, and that the agreed upon liquidated damages are not punitive or penalties and are just, fair and reasonable, all in accordance with O.C.G.A. §13-6-7. The foregoing sentence shall in no form or fashion affect Seller’s rights and remedies against Purchaser in connection with the Inspection Indemnity.

B. In the event that the transaction contemplated herein is not closed and consummated because of Seller’s failure or breach to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right only (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, and upon receipt of such notice Escrow Agent shall return so much of the Deposit as is then held by Escrow Agent to Purchaser and thereafter this Agreement shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force or effect, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other hereunder, or (ii) to sue Seller for specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; which remedies specified in (i) and (ii) shall be in lieu of any other rights or remedies for Purchaser, including, without limitation, any right or claim for damages; provided, however, in the event that the remedy of specific performance is not available to Purchaser because Seller has voluntarily conveyed or encumbered the Property after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to sue Seller for the damages occasioned thereby to Purchaser. If Purchaser consummates the transaction contemplated in this Agreement it shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any breach by Seller of any covenant, representation or warranty under this Agreement (but not under any of the documents executed at Closing which shall continue in accordance with their terms) which the Purchaser knew or should have known existed prior to the Closing.
