          2.3 Close of Escrow. Escrow shall close on or before October 16, 2006 by: (i) filing for record the Grant Deed, the Loan Assumption Documents and such other documents as may be necessary to procure Buyer’s Title Policy (as defined below) and (ii) delivering funds, the General Assignment and other documents as set forth in Section 5 IF AND ONLY IF (a) all funds and instruments required pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 have been delivered to Escrow Agent; and (b) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 has been, or upon such closing shall be, satisfied or waived as provided in Section 3.

If Escrow has not closed by 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day after the Closing Date, for any reason other than the default of either Buyer or Seller under this Agreement, either party who is not then in default may terminate Escrow and this Agreement by written notice to the other party and to Escrow Agent. If this Agreement is so terminated for any reason other than the default of Buyer or Seller hereunder, (i) Buyer and Seller shall promptly execute and deliver any cancellation instructions reasonably requested by Escrow Agent; (ii) Escrow Agent shall return Buyer’s Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon) to Buyer; and (iii) Buyer and Seller shall be released from their obligations under this Agreement, other than any obligations of Buyer that survive termination of this Agreement.

issued by Title Company, together with legible copies of all recorded documents. Buyer shall have three (3) Business Days to review and deliver to Seller and Escrow Agent notice of approval or disapproval of any Supplemental Report; provided, however, that Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any items, including, without limitation, easements, rights-of-way and other matters which do not have a material and adverse impact on the value of the Interest. Buyer’s failure to deliver notice of disapproval shall be deemed to be Buyer’s approval of any Supplemental Report. If Buyer delivers notice of disapproval and Seller elects in its sole discretion to do so, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of Buyer’s notice, Seller may elect by written notice to Buyer to remove (or otherwise cure in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) any disapproved items at or prior to the Closing Date. If Seller does not deliver such written notice to Buyer, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove (or otherwise cure) the disapproved items. If Seller elects not to remove any such item(s), Buyer may either waive its prior disapproval or terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller within three (3) Business Days after Seller’s election. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided above, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its disapproval. If Buyer so delivers notice of its election to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate as provided in Section 2.4 above.
               3.1.2 Title Insurance. The Title Company shall be unconditionally committed to issue, immediately following recording of the Grant Deed, a customary policy of title insurance (“Title Policy”), with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price and insuring fee title to the Interest vested in Buyer. Buyer shall take title to the Interest subject to the Permitted Exceptions.
               3.1.3 Intentionally deleted.
          3.2 Failure of Conditions Precedent. Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are for Buyer’s benefit and may only be waived by Buyer. Section 3.1.3 is for the mutual benefit of the parties and may only be waived by both Seller and Buyer. If any of the foregoing conditions precedent are neither satisfied nor waived by the Closing Date, then either party, if not then in default hereunder, may terminate the Escrow and this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.4.
          3.3 Rescission Rights. Buyer may terminate this Agreement and obtain a return of Buyer’s Deposit if he receives from the Manager, subsequent to the date hereof, an environmental assessment, an engineering report, or Loan Documents for the Property or modifications or amendments of any of the Transaction Documents that, in Buyer’s sole reasonable discretion, contains information that shows that the purchase of Interests is not appropriate for Buyer. Any such termination notice shall be given within three (3) days after receipt of the applicable document or will be deemed waived.
     4. Prorations, Fees and Costs.
          4.1 Prorations. There shall be no prorations of taxes, rental payments or other expenses between Seller and Buyer.

Any final True Up between Buyer and Seller will take place after the Closing Date and outside of escrow.
          4.3 Escrow Cancellation and Title Charges. If Escrow fails to close due to Buyer’s default under this Agreement, Buyer shall pay all escrow cancellation and title charges.

     5. Distribution of Funds and Documents.
          5.1 Deposit of Funds. After the Opening of Escrow, all cash, if any, received hereunder by Escrow Agent shall, until the Close of Escrow, be kept on deposit with other escrow funds in Escrow Agent’s general escrow account(s), in any state or national bank, and may be transferred to any other such general escrow account(s).
          5.2 Disbursements. Escrow Agent at the Close of Escrow will hold for personal pickup, or if requested, wire transfer to an account designated by the party receiving such funds, the following: (i) to Seller, or order, the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price, plus any proration or other credits to which Seller will be entitled less any appropriate proration or other charges due Buyer, (ii) to Seller or Lender, the Loan Fee and (iii) to Buyer, or order, Buyer’s Deposit and any excess funds previously delivered to Escrow Agent by Buyer. All other disbursements by Escrow Agent shall be made by checks of Escrow Agent.
          5.3 Recorded Documents. Escrow Agent will cause the County or City Recorder to mail the Grant Deed (and each other document which is herein expressed to be, or by general usage is, recorded) after recordation, to the grantee, beneficiary or person (i) acquiring rights under said document or (ii) for whose benefit the document was acquired. At the Close of Escrow, Escrow Agent will deliver to Seller a copy (conformed to show recording date) of the Grant Deed and each document recorded to place title in the condition required by this Agreement.
          5.4 Unrecorded Documents.

     6. Default.
          6.1 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IF ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT, IT IS AGREED THAT THE AMOUNT OF BUYER’S DEPOSIT (TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON) SHALL BE RETAINED AND ACCEPTED BY MANAGER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY AND SELLER SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATION OF SELLING THE INTEREST TO BUYER. IT IS AGREED THAT SAID AMOUNT CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671 ET SEQ. THE PARTIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS FAIR AND REASONABLE CONSIDERING ALL OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUCH AMOUNT TO THE RANGE OF HARM TO SELLER THAT COULD BE ANTICIPATED, AND THE ANTICIPATION THAT PROOF OF CAUSATION, FORESEEABILITY AND ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE COSTLY AND/OR IMPRACTICAL. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE OR IMPRACTICAL TO PRESENTLY PREDICT WHAT MONETARY DAMAGES WOULD BE SUFFERED IN SUCH EVENT. BUYER DESIRES TO LIMIT THE MONETARY DAMAGES FOR WHICH BUYER MIGHT BE LIABLE HEREUNDER AND BUYER AND SELLER AND MANAGER DESIRE TO AVOID THE COSTS AND DELAYS THEY WOULD INCUR IF A LAWSUIT WERE COMMENCED TO COLLECT DAMAGES AND THEREFORE AGREE THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL CONSTITUTE THEIR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IF ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT. BY INITIALING THIS PROVISION BELOW, THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY CONFIRM THE ACCURACY OF SUCH FACTS, THE FACT THAT THEY POSSESS APPROXIMATELY EQUAL BARGAINING STRENGTH AND SOPHISTICATION AND THE FACT THAT EACH OF THEM WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHEN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH COUNSEL EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS SECTION TO THEM AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT ANY OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER OTHER THAN A DEFAULT CAUSING ESCROW TO FAIL TO CLOSE THAT SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW OR EARLY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IT MAY HAVE AGAINST BUYER FOR BUYER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OTHER COVENANT UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AFTER THE CLOSE OF ESCROW
