Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall advise Seller in writing of any Contracts which it elects to assume; all others shall be terminated by Seller, provided, however, that Buyer expressly agrees to assume all Contracts that are not cancellable by their terms or which cannot be terminated without cost or penalty to Seller. Seller represents and warrants that Schedule 5(c) attached hereto is a complete list of all Contracts that are not cancellable. Seller agrees to give appropriate notices of termination of the Contracts which Buyer timely notifies Seller it wants cancelled, but only to the extent termination is permitted thereunder without penalty to Seller. At Closing, Seller shall assign and Buyer shall assume all Contracts that have not terminated as of the Closing Date, including without limitation, any remaining rights and
4
obligations under Contracts under which the notice required to terminate such Contracts, though delivered, will not have run prior to Closing. All existing agreements for management of the Property shall be terminated at Closing.
(d)Right of Termination. If Buyer determines that the Property is not suitable in Buyer’s sole discretion, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on or before 5:00 pm (Eastern) on the last day of the Inspection Period and this Agreement shall be null and void for all purposes (except for provisions that expressly survive hereunder) and the Deposit (less the Hard Deposit) shall be promptly returned to Buyer. In the event that Buyer does not deliver notice of termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate under this Section 5(d) and the entire Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except in accordance with the terms of Section 3(b)(ii) above.

(a) Commitment to Insure. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of Seller’s current title insurance policies and Buyer shall promptly order a commitment from the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”) to provide a standard owner’s title insurance policy for the Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”), together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein; and (ii) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copies of Seller’s surveys of the Property (collectively, the “Existing Survey”). Buyer, at its option and expense, may obtain a new survey(s), or an update of the Existing Survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”).
(b) During the Inspection Period, Buyer shall review title to the Real Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and, if obtained, the Survey. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except to satisfy and remove liens of an ascertainable amount created by Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at the Closing or affirmatively insured over by the Title Company. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by Seller after the Effective Date of this Agreement without Buyer’s written consent. Pursuant to this Section 6(b), Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (including the hard deposit) if the Title Commitment and Survey are not reasonably acceptable to Buyer or if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Inspection Period to add or modify exceptions in a material adverse manner, if such additions or modifications are not acceptable to Buyer and are not removed by the Closing Date. Seller shall execute at Closing an affidavit as to authority, the rights of tenants in occupancy and the status of mechanics’ liens (and sufficient to remove from the Title Policy any exception for mechanics’ liens filed against the Real Property which relate to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date) in form acceptable to Seller as the Title Company shall require for the issuance of the Title Policy. The Title Policy may be delivered after Closing if that is customary in the locality.
7.Delivery of Possession and Marketable Title. Seller shall deliver fee simple, marketable title to the Property at Closing. Actual sole and exclusive physical possession of the Property shall be given to Buyer at Closing unoccupied and free of any leases, claims to or rights of possession other than the rights of tenants under Leases by delivery of the keys to the Property and Seller’s special or limited warranty deed (the “Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Seller’s bill of sale in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement duly executed and acknowledged by Seller (the “Bill of Sale”).
8.Apportionments. All property related items of income and expense, including but not limited to the following, shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Pro Ration Date”) as follows:
(a)Taxes. All real estate taxes, charges and assessments affecting the Property (collectively, “Taxes”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Pro Ration Date, disregarding any discount or penalty and on the basis of the actual fiscal year for which such taxes are assessed, and Buyer shall assume liability for Taxes accruing in the fiscal year in which Closing occurs. If any of the same have not been finally assessed, as of the date of Closing, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills therefor, and shall
5
be re‑adjusted immediately when and if final bills are issued. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller has or may file appeals (the “Appeals”) prior to the Closing Date with respect to the current fiscal year and also with respect to prior year(s) ad valorem property taxes applicable to the Property (the “Appealed Taxes”). Seller shall be entitled, in Seller’s sole discretion, to continue to pursue such Appeals after the Closing Date. In the event that any such Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Appealed Taxes payable with respect to prior years, Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of any rebate, refund or reduction resulting from such Appeal. In the event that any such Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Appealed Taxes payable with respect to the current fiscal year, Seller and Buyer shall prorate the net proceeds of any rebate, refund or reduction resulting from such Appeal relating to the current fiscal year, after payment of Seller’s third party costs incurred in connection with the Appeal. This provision shall expressly survive Closing and the recordation of the Deed.
(b)Rents. Rents and other income and revenue relating to the Property and collected by Seller during the month in which Closing occurs shall be deemed earned ratably on a per diem basis and shall be prorated as of the Pro Ration Date and any excess amount shall be applied to past due amounts, if any. All such amounts collected by Seller or Buyer from tenants or other payors after Closing shall be paid over and applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, on account of rents and other sums due to Seller and Buyer (and pro‑rated between them as of the Pro Ration Date) for the month in which Closing occurs; (ii) if received after the 24th of any month, then second to the next calendar month, with any excess to any past due rents; (iii) if received prior to the 24th of any month, then, on account of rents and other sums due to Seller for any month prior to the month of Closing; and (iv) thereafter, on account of rents and other sums due to Buyer after Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s obligation to apply rents received after Closing to past due rents owed to Seller shall automatically terminate sixty (60) days after Closing.
(c)Other. All normal and customarily proratable items including without limitation operating expenses, personal property taxes, minimum water and sewer rentals, payments due under the Contracts which are to be assigned to Buyer, prepaid license fees and other charges for licenses and permits for the Real Property which will remain in effect for Buyer’s benefit after Closing and municipal rubbish removal charges, shall be apportioned pro rata between Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based upon a calendar year.
(d)Security Deposits. The total sum of all tenant security deposits currently held by Seller, together with all interest earned thereon as of the Closing Date, shall be transferred to Buyer at Closing by operation of a credit against the Purchase Price. Seller shall provide Buyer with a detailed list of security deposits for each tenant of the Property, together with the total amount of all accrued interest on the security deposits held by Seller.
(e)Utility Meter Readings. Seller shall obtain readings of the water, electric, gas and other utility meters servicing the Real Property (other than meters measuring exclusively utility consumption which is to be paid in full by tenants under Leases) to a date no sooner than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall pay all charges based upon such meter readings, adjusted to include a reasonable estimate of the additional charges due for the period from the dates of the respective readings until the Closing Date. If Seller is unable to obtain readings of any meters prior to the Closing Date, Closing shall be completed without such readings and upon the obtaining thereof, Seller shall pay the charges incurred prior to the Closing Date as reasonably determined by both Buyer and Seller based upon such readings, and at Closing, Seller shall deposit with the Title Company an amount reasonably estimated to represent the anticipated obligation of Seller under this sentence.
(f)RUBS. In addition to any other prorations described in this Agreement, any ratio utility billing systems (“RUBS”) applicable to the Property, for the following categories of utilities and other reimbursements: (i) electricity, (ii) gas, (iii) water / sewer, (iv) trash, (v) pest control and (vi) other, attributable to the uncollected or trailing collections two calendar months prior to Closing will be reflected as a credit to Seller at Closing and will be calculated for closing purposes on the uncollected or trailing collections monthly periods based on the monthly average actual trailing RUBS for six months prior to Closing according to the income statements prepared by Seller and provided to Buyer. A subsequent cash adjustment of RUBS between Seller and Buyer will be made when actual figures are available, but in all events within 90 days after the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer
6
each agree to provide such information as the other may reasonably request regarding RUBS and the billing, collection, and payment thereof.
(g)True-up. Subsequent to the Closing, if at any time during the 90-day period following Closing the actual amount of any pro-rated items that were based upon estimations at Closing, including without limitation, utilities and other operating expenses with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs, are determined, the parties agree to adjust the proration of utilities and other operating expenses and, if necessary, to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such adjustment. For clarification, this Section 8(g) shall not apply to Taxes, Rents or RUBS which shall be pro-rated and paid under Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(f) respectively.

Seller and Buyer agree that Seller’s Representations shall survive Closing for a period of six (6) months (the “Survival Period”) and Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to any of the Seller Representations contained herein except for claims made by Buyer during the Survival Period. Any representations or warranties made to “Seller’s knowledge” shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. Buyer shall have the right to bring a claim for actual damages during the Survival Period if Buyer learns during the Survival Period that Seller has breached its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.
For the period prior to the Closing, Buyer agrees to notify Seller promptly in writing if Buyer discovers, believes or obtains actual or constructive knowledge that: (i) there has been a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Section 10, (ii) any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Section 10 is inaccurate in any material respect, or (iii) Seller has failed to deliver to Buyer any document or material which it is obligated to deliver hereunder. Seller’s representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified to include any such discovery, belief or knowledge by Buyer occurring or obtained prior to the Closing. Buyer hereby waives any right Buyer may have to commence any action(s) to enforce any alleged breach and/or violation of any representations of Seller as set forth in this Agreement or to seek damages in connection therewith in the event that Buyer obtains actual knowledge of any such alleged breach and/or violation prior to Closing and fails to give Seller notice thereof before the Closing Date.
11.Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer, to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement and to complete Closing, makes the following representations and warranties to Seller, which representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement, and shall be true and correct at and as of the Closing Date in all respects as though such representations and warranties were made both at and, as of the date of this Agreement, and except as otherwise set forth herein, at and as of the Closing Date.
(a)Buyer is a limited liability company, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with all legal power and authority to undertake, observe and perform all of Buyer’s agreements and obligations hereunder.
(b)Buyer has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and comply with this Agreement, and all actions of the Buyer and other authorizations necessary or appropriate for the execution and delivery of and compliance with this Agreement have been taken or obtained and this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and the individual executing this Agreement and each of the documents executed in connection herewith on behalf of the Buyer has the power and authority to do so. This Agreement and all documents executed by Buyer that are to be delivered to Seller at Closing (i) are, or at the time of Closing will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer, and (ii) do not, and at the time of Closing will not, violate any provision of any agreement or judicial order to which Buyer is a party.
(c)No consents are required to be obtained from, and no filings are required to be made with, any governmental authority or third party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer or the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby.
10
(d)Neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates is, nor will they become, a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or other governmental action and does not, to its actual knowledge, engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities.
(e)Buyer acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the federal Fair Housing Act (the "FHA"). The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of "public accommodations" remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons. Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Property's compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such representation. Buyer acknowledges that it is solely responsible for determining whether the Property complies with the ADA and the FHA. The provisions of this Section 11(e) shall survive indefinitely the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the Deed or other closing documents.
(f)It is expressly acknowledged by Buyer that this transaction is not subject to any financing contingency and no financing for this transaction shall be provided by Seller.
(g)Buyer is a sophisticated and experienced Buyer of commercial properties including without limitation, apartment projects, and has participated in and is familiar with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, ownership, management, and operation of real estate projects similar to the Property. Buyer has or will have under the terms of this Agreement adequate opportunity to complete and will have completed all physical, financial, legal and regulatory investigations and examinations relating to the Property that it deems necessary, and will acquire the same on the basis of such investigations and examinations and the title insurance protection afforded by the Title Policy as well as the basis of any financial information, rent roll and Leases provided or to be provided by Seller.
12.Operations Prior to Closing. Between the date of the execution of this Agreement and Closing:
(a)Operations and Management. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller shall carry on its business and activities relating to the Property, substantially in the same manner as it did before the Effective Date. Seller shall maintain the physical condition of the Property in substantially its current condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty excepted. From and after the conclusion of the Inspection Period, Seller shall not apply any Security Deposits to tenant arrearages unless the tenant has vacated or been evicted prior to the Closing Date.
(b)Compliance with Obligations. Seller shall comply in all material respects with the obligations of Seller under the Leases, the Contracts and all other agreements and contractual arrangements by which Seller and/or the Property are bound or affected. Seller shall maintain its current insurance policy in full force and effect and shall pay all required premiums and other charges.
(c)New Contracts; New Leases. Seller shall not enter into any contract for or on behalf of or affecting the Property which cannot be terminated upon no more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice or without charge, cost, penalty or premium, and, after expiration of the Inspection Period, shall not renew, fail to give a notice which, in the absence of which, will result in an automatic renewal of, modify, cancel or terminate any Contracts except in accordance with notices given by Buyer under Section 5(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller may enter into new leases or renewal leases for all or any portion of the Property in accordance with its current leasing parameters and procedures.
11
13.Casualty.
(a)Destruction. If at any time prior to the Closing Date any portion of the Property should sustain damage by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Seller shall promptly give written notice (“Casualty Notice”) thereof to Buyer, which notice shall include Seller’s estimate of the time and cost necessary to repair or remedy the damage caused by such Casualty. Seller shall also promptly give notice to its insurer. If the Property is the subject of a Casualty which is material, Buyer shall have the right, at its sole option, of terminating this Agreement (by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder given within ten (10) days after receipt of the Casualty Notice from Seller). Seller shall provide copies to Buyer of all correspondence with its insurance company or insurance agent after the event of Casualty. For purposes hereof, a “material” Casualty is one where the cost of restoring any one apartment complex exceeds $800,000. In addition, solely with respect to a Casualty where the cost of restoration is above $25,000, Buyer may terminate this Agreement in the event that such Casualty is uninsured (which, for clarification purposes, shall not include any Casualty for which insurance proceeds are not paid merely because the deductible exceeds the amount of proceeds) or if the insurance provider denies coverage for such Casualty due to an act or omission of Seller. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, the proceeds of any insurance with respect to the Property paid to Seller between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date shall be paid over to Buyer at the time of Closing (less any amount expended by Seller under Section 13(b) below) and all unpaid claims and rights in connection with losses to the Property shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing, and the amount of the deductible required to be paid under the Seller’s applicable insurance policy or policies will be paid to Buyer, without in any manner affecting the Purchase Price.
(b)Repairs. If the Property is the subject of a Casualty, but Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(a) above, then Seller shall cause all temporary repairs to be made to the Property as shall be required to prevent further deterioration and damage to the Property prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall have the right to be reimbursed from the proceeds of any insurance with respect to the Property paid between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date for the cost of all such repairs made pursuant to this Section 13(b). Except for the obligation of Seller to repair the Property set forth in this Section 13(b), Seller shall have no other obligation to repair any Casualty, damage or destruction in the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(a), and in such event, Buyer shall accept the Property at Closing as damaged or destroyed by the Casualty.
14.Eminent Domain. If any condemnation or eminent domain (a “Taking”) affects all or any part of the Property prior to Closing, or if any proceeding for a Taking is commenced prior to Closing, or if notice of the contemplated commencement of a Taking is given prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver written notice of such Taking to Buyer and Buyer, to the extent such Taking is material in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, shall have the right, at its sole option, of terminating this Agreement (by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice from Seller of the Taking). For purposes hereof, a “material” Taking shall mean a portion of any one of the apartment complexes is taken which causes (i) a material reduction in the size of such Property or a material interference with the use and operation of such Property, (ii) a material reduction in the number of parking spaces available at such Property, (iii) a material adverse effect on the ingress and egress to and from such Property, or (iv) a material reduction in the gross income that it is anticipated will be generated at such Property. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the total of any awards or damages received by Seller, and Seller shall, at Closing, be deemed to have assigned to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any awards or damages to which Seller may have become entitled or may thereafter be entitled by reason of any exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation with respect to or for the Taking of the Property or any portion thereof.

The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive Closing and recordation of the Deed.

No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
