3.2.             Expiration of Feasibility Period.

  If any of the matters in Section 3.1 or any other title or survey 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 notice, this Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect subject to and except for the Survival Provisions, and Escrow Agent shall return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser.  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, the Deposit shall be non-refundable, 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 materialmen’s 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 advanced 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.

3.5.2.      In providing the Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller’s Representations, Seller makes no representation or warranty, 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, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to Seller (or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Seller) as a condition to return of the Deposit to Purchaser if this Contract is terminated for any reason.  Except as set forth in Section 6.1.12, and recognizing that the Materials delivered or made available by Seller pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily and reasonably available to Seller, 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.

3.5.3.      In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 3.5, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, 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 rent roll is that which 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.       In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 3.5, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, 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”).  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Property Contracts List other than the express representations set forth in Section 6.1.6.

4.5.2.      Purchaser agrees that, at the Closing, (a) Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations under the Note and all of the other Assumed Loan Documents and accept title to the Property subject to the Deed of Trust and the Assumed Encumbrances, and (b) the Lender shall release Seller, as well as any guarantors and other obligated parties under the Assumed Loan Documents, from all obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents (and any related guarantees or letters of credit), including, without limitation, any obligation to make payments of principal and interest under the Note (collectively, the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “ Loan Assumption and Release”).  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (x) certain of the provisions of the Assumed Loan Documents may have been negotiated for the exclusive benefit of Seller, AIMCO or their respective affiliates (the “ Specific AIMCO Provisions”), and (y) unless Lender otherwise agrees in Lender’s sole and arbitrary discretion, Purchaser will not be permitted to assume the benefit of the Specific AIMCO Provisions and the same shall be of no further force or effect from and after the Closing Date.

4.5.6.      Additionally, Purchaser shall be responsible for (a) replacing (and increasing to the extent required by Lender) all reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be maintained in connection with the Loan, and (b) funding any additional reserves, impounds or accounts required by Lender to be maintained by Purchaser in connection with the Loan after the Loan Assumption and Release (the foregoing amounts in (a) and (b) collectively referred to herein as the “ Required Loan Fund Amounts”).  Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be replaced by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at the Closing.

4.5.8.      No later than 10 days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order a Phase I Environmental study (prepared by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller and Lender), and covenants that such Phase I Environmental study shall be delivered to Seller and Lender no later than 10 days prior to the Closing Date in connection with and as a precondition to the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.5.9.      Purchaser shall be in default hereunder if (i) Purchaser fails to submit a complete Loan Assumption Application by the Loan Assumption Application Submittal Deadline, or (ii) subject to Section 4.5.10, Purchaser fails to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release prior to the Closing Date, in either of which events Seller may terminate this Contract and the Deposit shall be immediately released by the Escrow Agent to Seller.

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 billings 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.

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 no t subject to re-adjustment after Closing. 

5.4.5.      Property Contracts.  Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, operating expenses 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.  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.  Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions 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, and, second, 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 co mmence 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 necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the delivery to Seller, within 7 days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Uncollected Rents by S eller; 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.      Existing Loan.  Seller shall be responsible for all principal required to be paid under the terms of the Note prior to Closing, together with all interest accrued under the Note prior to Closing, all of which may be a credit against the Purchase Price as provided in Section 2.2.3.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all Lender Fees and all other fees, penalties, interest and other amounts due and owing under the Assumed Loan Documents as a result of the Loan Assumption and Release.  As set forth in Section 4.5.3, any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Loan and required to be replaced by Purchaser, shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at Closing.

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. on the Closing Date, 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 any transfer, mortgage assumption, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the Title Policy pursuant to Section 4.1, and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.  Seller shall pay the base premium for the Title Policy to the extent required by Section 4.1, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property, and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent. 

5.4.11.  Utility Contracts.  If Seller has entered into an agreement for the purchase of electricity, gas or other utility service for the Property or a group of properties (including the Property) (a “ Utility Contract”), or an affiliate of Seller has entered into a Utility Contract, then, at the option of Seller, either (a) Purchaser either shall assume the Utility Contract with respect to the Property, or (b) the reasonably calculated costs of the Utility Contract attributable to the Property from and after the Closing shall be paid to Seller at the Closing and Seller shall remain responsible for payments under the Utility Contract. 

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 5.3.  To the extent reasonably available to Seller, originals 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 magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate).

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.
