3.Disposition of Deposit; Defaults.
(a)Held in Escrow. The Deposit shall be held in escrow and disbursed by Escrow Holder strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

IF SELLER TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, SELLER SHALL BE PAID THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OF IMPRACTIABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT. EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION. THE RIGHT OF THE SELLER TO BE PAID THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER'S EXLCUSIVE AND SOLE REMEDY.
(ii)If Seller, (A) without the right to do so and in default of its obligations under this Agreement, fails to complete Closing, or (B) defaults under or breaches in any material respect any of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement and such default continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Buyer, then in either case Buyer shall have the right to (x) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of such default to Seller, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the entire Deposit (including the Hard Deposit) as its sole and exclusive remedy (except as otherwise set forth in the following sentence) and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except those matters expressly provided in this Agreement to survive termination, or (y) institute a civil court action for specific performance (but not damages other than reimbursement of Buyer’s fees and costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in enforcement of this Agreement); provided that Buyer shall commence its action of specific performance against Seller within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, if Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to subsection (x) of the preceding sentence, then Seller shall immediately pay or reimburse Buyer for out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation, Buyer’s legal fees and expenses, due diligence cost and financings costs, up to a maximum amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (“Buyer’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Costs”). Seller’s obligation to pay Buyer’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Costs shall survive the termination of this Agreement. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BUYER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH BUYER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST ANY PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
(c)Upon Closing. If Closing is completed hereunder, Escrow Holder shall pay the Deposit to Seller as a credit against the Purchase Price.
(d)Upon Termination by Buyer or Seller. If Buyer terminates or is deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(d), then Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 3(e) below, (i) promptly return the Initial Deposit (less the Hard Deposit) to Buyer and Seller shall not have any right to object to such disbursement; and (ii) promptly disburse the Hard Deposit to Seller and Buyer shall not have any right to object to such disbursement . If either Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, then Escrow Holder shall disburse the Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(e)Hard Deposit. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that $150,000 of the Initial Deposit (the “Hard Deposit”) shall be a “hard” deposit that is non-refundable to Buyer except as expressly set forth in this Section 3(e). The Hard Deposit shall be paid to Seller upon any termination of this Agreement by either party; provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Hard Deposit in the case of a termination by Buyer: (I) under Section 3(b)(ii) (Seller Default), Section 13 (Casualty) or Section 14 (Eminent Domain), (II) under Section 6(b) (Title and Survey), or (III) prior to expiration of the Inspection Period if Buyer provides commercially reasonable evidence to Seller that an environmental condition exists with respect to the Property that Buyer reasonably determines would (A) affect Buyer’s ability to sell the Property or (B) otherwise materially diminish the value of the Real Property. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
4.Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property (the “Closing”) shall take place on that date which is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period or at earlier date as mutually agreed to in writing by the parties (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be conducted through an escrow with the Escrow Holder, with escrow fees to be paid equally by Seller and Buyer. IT IS AGREED THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
5.Inspection and Title Review.
(a)Inspection Period. Buyer and its authorized agents and representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Land and Improvements (including all of the apartment units, but subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases and in accordance with applicable law) at all reasonable times during normal business hours to inspect and conduct reasonably necessary inspections and tests on the Property at its sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, engineering and hazardous material inspections; provided, however, any intrusive physical testing will be conducted by Buyer only after obtaining Seller’s prior written consent. The right granted in the immediately preceding sentence may be exercised during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall bear the cost of all inspections and tests, and Buyer shall give reasonable notice to the management of any inspection or test to be conducted on the Property. Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller and the Property harmless as to all loss, property damage, bodily injury, cost or expense resulting from Buyer’s inspections and tests of the Property, including, without limitation, claims for services rendered by third parties conducting such inspections and tests, but excluding any loss, property damage, bodily injury, cost or expense to the extent (i) caused by any act or omission of Seller or its agents, or (ii) relating to any matter that is merely discovered by Buyer or any of Buyer’s agents. Buyer shall also restore the Land and Improvements to the condition in which the same were found before any such entry upon the Property and inspection or examination was undertaken. Such agreement to repair and restore, and to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall expressly survive closing or any termination of the Agreement. Buyer shall maintain, or shall cause its contractors to maintain, public liability and property damage insurance insuring Buyer (and naming Seller as an additional insured party) against any liability arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property or work performed about the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof and shall deliver certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage to Seller prior to any entry by Buyer or its contractors on the Property.
(b)Document Review. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (or make available for inspection at the Property) copies of the items listed on Schedule 5(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof, but only to the extent such items are in Seller’s possession or control (collectively, “Documents”); provided that Leases and corresponding lease files shall be available for inspection at the Property only. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document executed or delivered by Seller at Closing (each, a “Closing Document”), Seller makes no representations or warranties, either express or implied, and shall have no liability with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the information, data or conclusions contained in any information provided to Buyer, and Buyer shall make its own independent inquiry regarding the economic feasibility, physical condition and environmental state of the Property during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 pm (Eastern) on that date which is twenty-five (25) days after the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”).
(c)Assignment or Cancellation of Contracts. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall advise Seller in writing of any Contracts which it elects to have cancelled upon Closing; 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 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 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. Buyer shall deliver written notice on or before 5:00 pm (Eastern) on the last day of the Inspection Period pursuant to which Buyer shall elect to consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with this Agreement (the “Feasibility Notice”); provided, however, that if Buyer determines that the Property is not suitable in Buyer’s sole discretion, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by its failure to deliver the Feasibility Notice in a timely manner in which case this Agreement shall be null and void for all purposes (except for provisions that expressly survive hereunder) and the Deposit (subject to Section 3(e)) shall be returned to Buyer and the Hard Deposit (subject to Section 3(e)) disbursed to Seller. In the event that Buyer delivers a Feasibility Notice 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 as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
6.Condition of Title.
(a) Commitment to Insure. Within one (1) business day after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of Seller’s Owner’s Policy issued by First American Title Insurance Company effective January 2, 2009. 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, together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein. Within one (1) business day after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of that certain ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the Property last updated December 18, 2008 (the “Existing Survey”). Buyer, at its option and expense, may obtain a new survey, 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. If Buyer objects to any exceptions to title or other matters shown on the Title Commitment or the Survey, Buyer may deliver notice of its objections to such exceptions and matters (“Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections”) to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. Seller will have three (3) Business Days from the date Buyer delivers any such notice to Seller to deliver notice to Buyer that it will cure Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections prior to Closing or that Seller elects not to cure such Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections. If Buyer does not deliver a notice of any Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to title identified in the Title Commitment and the Survey (other than Seller Liens, which will be removed from title by Seller pursuant to this Section 6(b) and which need not be objected to by Buyer). If Seller elects not to cure Buyer’s Title/Survey Objection (Seller’s failure to respond within three (3) business days to Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections shall be deemed a refusal to cure), Buyer may, within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of Seller’s election not to cure Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections, elect by delivery of written notice thereof to Seller to (i) terminate this Agreement in which event the entire Deposit (including the Hard Deposit) shall be returned to Buyer by Escrow Holder and thereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further liabilities or obligations to the other, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement despite such exceptions (which shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” means those exceptions to title set forth in the Commitment or the Survey that have been accepted (or deemed accepted) by Buyer in accordance with this Section 6(b), provided that “Permitted Exceptions” shall expressly include all deeds to secure debt that do not appear on Seller’s
existing owner’s policy of title insurance that were not created by Seller or during Seller’s ownership of the Property. It shall be a condition of Buyer’s obligation to consummate closing that at closing the Title Company will issue at standard rates to Buyer a full coverage owner’s title insurance policy (2006 ALTA form) for the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”).
Seller shall have no obligation to cure Buyer’s Title/Survey Objections except that Seller must satisfy and remove liens of an ascertainable amount created by Seller (including, but not limited to, mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanics’ liens materialmens’ liens, judgment liens, etc.), which liens Seller shall cause to be released at the Closing or affirmatively insured over by the Title Company (“Seller Liens”). 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. Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the entire Deposit (including the Hard Deposit) if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Inspection Period to add or modify material exceptions, 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 for the benefit of the Title Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Title Policy may be delivered after Closing if that is customary in the locality.
7.Delivery of Possession. 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 C, and Seller’s bill of sale in the form of Exhibit D 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)Real Estate Taxes. All real estate taxes, charges and assessments affecting the Real 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 of the authority levying the same, and Buyer shall assume liability for payment of Taxes accruing in the year in which Closing occurs that remain unpaid at Closing for the current fiscal year of the taxing authority, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills therefor, and shall be re‑adjusted immediately when and if final bills are issued. After the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall not file any tax appeals with respect to the Property without Buyer’s consent. This provision shall expressly survive Closing and the recordation of the Deed. Seller shall be responsible for, and shall pay on or prior to the Closing Date: (i) any delinquent Taxes, and (ii) any assessments for improvements completed prior to the Closing Date, whether assessment therefor has been levied or not.

Rents, income and other revenue relating to the Property that is uncollected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. All such amounts collected by Seller or Buyer from tenants or other payors after Closing, net of collection costs, 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) then, on account of rents and other sums due to Buyer after Closing; and (iii) thereafter, on account of rents and other sums due to Seller for any month prior to the month of Closing.

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 (but specifically excluding any prepaid fees or similar amounts previously paid to Seller), 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 (including, but not limited to, pet security deposits), together with all interest earned thereon as of the Closing Date which Seller is obligated to pay to tenants, shall be transferred to Buyer at Closing by operation of a credit against the Purchase Price.
(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.

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 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 six (6) month 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.
(h)Closing Costs.
