               (ii) Title Notices. Within five (5) business days following the receipt by Buyer of the Title Commitment and the Exception Documents, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing (the “Buyer’s Title Notice”) as to which items, if any, disclosed in the Title Commitment are not acceptable to Buyer. Within five (5) business days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller (with Limited Partner Consent) shall notify Buyer (“Seller’s Title Notice”) that, with respect to each matter objected to in Buyer’s Title Notice: (A) it shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to eliminate such matter as an exception in the Title Commitment; or (B) it shall not take any or all of the actions identified in Buyer’s Title Notice with respect to such matter. Except to the extent Seller’s Title Notice expressly states that Seller will take an action with respect to a matter identified in Buyer’s Title Notice (or if Seller fails to deliver Seller’s Title Notice within such five (5) business day period), then Seller shall be deemed to have elected clause (B) of this Paragraph 8(a)(ii).
               (iii) Rejected Exception. As used in this Paragraph 8(a), the term “Rejected Exception” means a matter which is both: (x) expressly objected to in Buyer’s Title Notice (to the extent of such objection); and (y) expressly agreed to be eliminated in Seller’s Title Notice (to the extent of such agreement).
               (iv) Title Contingency. In the event Buyer fails to timely deliver Buyer’s Title Notice, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all title objections to matters shown in the Title Commitment. If Buyer has timely delivered Buyer’s Title Notice and Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) to proceed (in whole or in part) in accordance with clause (B) of Paragraph 8(a)(ii) of this Agreement, then Buyer shall have until the Contingency Expiration Date to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which case the provisions of Paragraph 9(c) of this Agreement shall govern. If Buyer shall fail to provide Seller and Escrow Agent with written notice of termination on or before the Contingency Expiration Date, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all of its title objections (except with respect to the Rejected Exceptions).
               (v) Title Policy. Each item and matter revealed by the Title Commitment (other than the Rejected Exceptions) shall be a “Permitted Exception” under this Agreement. At Closing, the Title Policy (as further defined in Paragraph 9(a)(ii) of this Agreement) shall be as described in the Title Commitment (but free of each Rejected Exception), subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 8(a). Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or eliminate, on or before the Closing Date, those Title Requirements to be performed or otherwise satisfied by Buyer. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or eliminate, on or before the Closing Date, those Title Requirements to be performed or otherwise satisfied by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) Seller shall not be required to expend any funds in connection with the Title Policy except (i) as expressly set forth in Seller’s Title Notice, and (ii) in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate to satisfy or eliminate the other Title Requirements to be performed or otherwise satisfied by Seller and other items and matters not revealed by the Title Commitment; (y) Seller shall have no obligation to execute, perform, satisfy, incur, make or otherwise undertake any affidavit, indemnity, disclosure, certificate, or other document, action, expense or liability requested or required by the Title Company in connection with the Title Policy (including, without limitation,

8


 

such requirements as may be set forth in the Title Commitment); and (z) Seller may satisfy the Rejected Exceptions, the Title Requirements to be performed or otherwise satisfied by Seller, and any other items and matters not revealed by the Title Commitment in any manner that will result in the Title Company issuing the Title Policy (e.g. by providing a surety bond or other collateral acceptable to the Title Company). Except as expressly required under the foregoing sentence, or as expressly set forth in Seller’s Title Notice, (A) Seller shall have no obligation to incur any expense or liability to satisfy or eliminate any Rejected Exception, Title Requirement or other item or matter not revealed by the Title Commitment, (B) no failure by Seller to satisfy or eliminate any Rejected Exception, Title Requirement or other item or matter not revealed by the Title Commitment shall constitute a breach of or default under this Agreement by Seller and Seller shall not have any liability for damages and Buyer shall have no recourse to equitable relief based on any such failure, and (C) if Seller fails to eliminate or satisfy, on or before the Closing Date, any Rejected Exception, Title Requirement or other item or matter not revealed by the Title Commitment, then Buyer shall have the sole option of either: (x) terminating this Agreement for failure to satisfy a Buyer closing condition under Paragraph 9(a) of this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent prior to Closing, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the other provisions of Paragraph 9(c) of this Agreement shall govern; or (y) proceeding to Closing, subject to the provisions set forth herein. In the event that (I) Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) of this Paragraph 8(a)(v) due to Seller’s failure to eliminate or satisfy a Rejected Exception as expressly set forth in Seller’s Title Notice and (II) Buyer is not in default under this Agreement, then and only then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) incurred with respect to this agreement, the transaction described herein and the due diligence performed in connection herewith, not to exceed $150,000.00 in the aggregate. Upon Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all objections to the items and matters reflected on the Title Policy and each such item and matter shall thereafter be a “Permitted Exception” under this Agreement.
               (vi) Supplemental Title Commitment. In the event the Title Company issues one or more supplemental Title Commitments, the “Title Commitment” shall be deemed amended to incorporate the changes reflected in such supplemental Title Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have three (3) business days following receipt by Buyer of a supplemental Title Commitment to deliver a supplemental Buyer’s Title Notice with respect to any new item not shown on either the Title Commitment or any existing survey delivered to Buyer as part of the Property Files. Within two (2) business days following Seller’s receipt of the supplemental Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller (with Limited Partner Consent) shall provide Buyer with a supplemental Seller’s Title Notice. If Buyer has timely delivered a supplemental Buyer’s Title Notice and Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) to proceed (in whole or in part) in accordance with clause (B) of Paragraph 8(a)(ii) of this Agreement, then Buyer shall have until the earlier of (a) the Closing Date and (b) 10 days following receipt by Buyer of a supplemental Title Commitment to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the other provisions of Paragraph 9(c) of this Agreement shall govern. If Buyer shall fail to provide Seller and Escrow Agent with written notice of termination on or before such date, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all of its objections to the items appearing in such supplemental Title Commitment (except with respect to the Rejected Exceptions). Except as

Buyer shall have until the date Buyer’s Title Notice is due under Paragraph 8(a)(ii) of this Agreement to review and approve or disapprove of any survey of the Property delivered by Seller to Buyer as part of the Property Files, and any such objections shall be treated in the same manner as objections to matters shown on the Title Commitment as set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(ii)-(v) of this Agreement. With regard to the Survey obtained by Buyer in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, Buyer shall have until the earlier of (A) five (5) business days after its receipt of the Survey or (B) the Contingency Expiration Date to deliver an additional Buyer’s Title Notice with respect to any new item not shown on either the Title Commitment or any existing survey delivered to Buyer as part of the Property Files. The provisions of Paragraph 8(a) of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the timing and effect of any notices to be delivered and the effect of any failure to deliver same, shall govern with respect to any such additional Buyer’s Title Notice.
          (b) Documents and Materials To Be Made Available to Buyer. Within five (5) business days after the Opening of Escrow, Seller will make available to Buyer the Property Files (as defined in this Paragraph 8(b)) of Seller. To the extent Seller currently possesses or controls the same, the “Property Files” are defined as the items set forth on Exhibit “I” attached hereto; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to update, prepare, or cause to be prepared any of the above-referenced items which may or may not be contained in the Property Files. Property Files shall not include any appraisals or other indications of the market value of the Property. Buyer understands and acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Representatives makes and/or has made any representation or warranty to Buyer as to the accuracy or completeness of the Property Files and that neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Representatives has made or will make any attempt to verify the data contained therein. Buyer agrees that Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer as a result of Buyer’s use of the Property Files.
          (c) Buyer’s Inspection Rights. From the Opening of Escrow and until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall be provided with access to the Property and shall be permitted to inspect and examine the Property upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, subject in all cases to the provisions of this Paragraph 8(c) of this Agreement and the indemnification provisions described in Paragraph 8(d) of this Agreement. Subject to the rights of the tenants, Buyer and its Representatives shall have the right to conduct one or more “walk throughs” of the Property. It is understood and agreed that Buyer shall be responsible to perform such inspections and other examinations of the Property as Buyer deems necessary or desirable (including, without limitation, any tests, studies, investigations, inspections and other examinations of physical and environmental conditions of the Property); provided, however, that as a condition precedent to exercising such rights, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a Certificate of Insurance evidencing commercial general liability coverage of not less than $1,000,000 combined limits, worker’s compensation insurance at statutory limits, and employer’s liability coverage of not less than $1,000,000.

16


 

          (a) General. Non-Delinquent Rents, revenues, receivables and other income, if any, from the Property, and real estate and personal property taxes and the operating expenses described below affecting the Property shall be prorated as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. Seller shall be entitled to all third party reimbursements and payments (including, without limitation, all Section 8 and similar payments) which relate to the period prior to the Closing. Buyer shall be entitled to all third party reimbursements and payments (including, without limitation, all Section 8 and similar payments) which relate to periods on or after the Closing. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect Non-Delinquent Rents after the Closing in accordance with its current management practices. If Buyer has not collected Non-Delinquent Rents with respect to one or more Tenants after using commercially reasonable efforts attempting to do so for at least sixty (60) days after the Closing, then Seller shall, within ten (10) business days after Buyer represents and evidences the same to Seller in writing, refund to Buyer the prorated amount of such Non-Delinquent Rents received by Seller from Buyer on the Closing relating to such Tenants. Any leasing commissions with respect to Tenants of the Property as of the Closing shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.
          (b) Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real estate and personal property taxes and assessments on the Property shall be prorated based on the tax bill for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs. If the tax bill for the current fiscal year is not available, then the proration shall be based on the prior fiscal year’s assessment; and the parties shall reprorate such real estate and personal property taxes and assessments upon the issuance of the final tax bill. If after the Closing, any supplemental real estate and personal property taxes and assessments are assessed against the Property by reason of any event occurring prior to the Closing, or if there is any refund or other reduction in the taxes or assessed value of the Property for any period prior to Closing, then Buyer and Seller shall re-prorate the real estate and personal property taxes and assessments following the Closing. Any delinquent real estate and personal property taxes and assessments on the Property shall be paid at the Closing from funds accruing to Seller.
          (c) Delinquent and Past Due Rents. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, in accordance with its current management practices (but with no obligation to commence litigation to collect such amounts), any rents or other charges under the leases which are delinquent (i.e. more than thirty (30) days past due) as of the Closing. The amounts collected after the Closing from a Tenant shall be applied first to any Non-Delinquent Rents and other charges due as of the Closing, second to any rents and other charges then due for any period from and after the Closing, and third to any Past Due Rents (as defined in this Paragraph 13(c)) as of the Closing in reverse chronological order of the date such amounts became due. As an incentive to Buyer to attempt to collect delinquent rents due to Seller, Seller agrees that Buyer may retain twenty-five percent (25%) of the Past Due Rents which are collected by Buyer after the Closing. For purposes of this Paragraph 13(c), “Past Due Rents” are defined as those rents or other charges which are, upon the Closing, more than sixty (60) days past due. Past Due Rents do not include any Section 8 or similar payments, whether delinquent or not. All Section 8 and similar payments shall be prorated in accordance with Paragraph 13(a) of this Agreement.

17


 

          (d) Operating Expenses. All utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, taxes (other than real estate and personal property taxes) such as rental taxes, other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business or the management and operation of the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis as of the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the Closing and thereafter. To the extent possible, Seller and Buyer shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the Closing to aid in such prorations.
          (e) Service Contracts. Charges and prepayments under the Service Contracts shall be prorated on the basis of the periods to which such Service Contracts relate.
          (f) Tenant Deposits and Prepaid Rents. Upon Closing, Seller shall retain any and all bank accounts, certificates of deposit, or any other cash or Cash Equivalent representing Tenant Deposits and prepaid rents and Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be debited with an amount equal to the amount of the Tenant Deposits and prepaid rents. Upon the Closing, Buyer shall assume all of Seller’s obligations with respect to the Tenant Deposits and prepaid rents.
          (g) Funds. Buyer shall either (i) cause any person or entity that is holding Funds to return such Funds to Seller; (ii) pay Seller an amount equal to the amount of the Funds held by such person or entity, in which case Buyer shall retain such Funds; or (iii) replace the Funds held by such person or entity, in which case such Funds shall be returned to Seller.
          (h) Rent Ready. Not more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to Closing, a representative of Buyer and Seller shall conduct an onsite walk-through of the then unoccupied rental units on the Property to determine whether any of such unoccupied rental units are in “rent ready” condition. With respect to any rental unit which is vacated on or before five (5) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (i) make such unoccupied rental unit into a “rent ready” condition, or (ii) provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price due at Closing, which credit shall be equal to the amount, if any, reasonably required to put said unoccupied rental units in “rent-ready” condition, provided, however, that such credit shall not exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per unoccupied rental unit. With respect to any rental unit which is vacated later than five (5) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall have no responsibility or liability to put such unoccupied rental unit into a “rent ready” condition, and Seller shall not have to compensate Buyer if such unit is not “rent ready” as of Closing. “Rent ready” condition shall mean Seller’s current practice of placing units in “rent ready” condition.
          (i) Method of Proration. All prorations shall be made in accordance with customary practice in the County, except as expressly provided herein. Such prorations, if and to the extent known and agreed upon as of the Closing, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the prorations result in a net credit to Buyer) by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Buyer at the Closing. Any such prorations not determined or not agreed upon as of the Closing shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, or by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, in cash, as soon as practicable following the Closing, but in no event shall Buyer or Seller have any liability for any claim under this Paragraph 13

18


 

made more than twelve (12) months after the Closing. The terms set forth in this Paragraph 13 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed at Closing.
     14. Disbursements and Other Actions by Escrow Agent. On the Closing Date, Escrow Agent shall promptly undertake all of the following in the manner indicated in this Paragraph 14:
          (a) Disbursements. Disburse all funds deposited with Escrow Agent by Buyer in payment of the Purchase Price (and in payment of any adjustments, credits and prorations to be charged to account of Buyer as set forth in Paragraph 13 of this Agreement) as follows:

               (iv) Disburse the remaining balance of the Purchase Price (and any adjustments, credits and prorations) to or at the direction of SHF in immediately available funds.

          (e) BUYER AGREES THAT, IF AT ANY TIME AT OR AFTER CLOSING, A CONDOMINIUM MAP, DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM OWNERSHIP OR OTHER DEVICE FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING FRACTIONALIZED OWNERSHIP IS MADE EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY (BY BUYER OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF), BUYER WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER AND EACH OF ITS DIRECT AND INDIRECT PARTNERS AND PRINCIPALS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES (INCLUDING ANY CONTRACTOR) FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIM MADE BY ANY OWNER OR OCCUPANT OF A RESIDENTIAL UNIT IN THE PROPERTY OR ANY OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION OR SIMILAR ENTITY ACTING ON BEHALF OF UNIT OWNERS, AS WELL AS ALL RELATED LOSS, DAMAGE, LIABILITY, OBLIGATION, SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION, JUDGMENT, SETTLEMENT, PENALTY, FINE OR COST OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ATTORNEYS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS AND COURT COSTS). BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF A CLAIM, AND SHALL EXTEND TO, AMONG OTHERS, CLAIMS BASED ON NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING CONTRACTOR) OR ANY WARRANTY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, WORKMANLIKE CONSTRUCTION AND FITNESS FOR USE OR ACCEPTABILITY FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL PERMIT BUYER TO TAKE ANY ACTION WHICH CONFLICTS WITH PARAGRAPH 23 OF THIS AGREEMENT.
          (f) The provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed at Closing.
     18. Closing. The purchase and sale of the Property shall be consummated (the “Closing”) on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the later of (x) the date Buyer and/or Seller obtains all Required Consents (each party shall promptly notify each other party to this Agreement and the Escrow Agent upon receipt of same) and (y) the Contingency Expiration Date, but in no event shall the Closing occur later than April 12, 2011 (the “Outside Closing Date”), time being of the essence. The Closing shall take place at the offices of the Escrow Agent, or via an escrow administered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to escrow instructions mutually agreed upon among the parties and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer is entitled to extend the Outside Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days following the Outside Closing Date as originally set forth in the first sentence of this Paragraph 18; provided, however, that Seller and Escrow Agent shall receive written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of Buyer’s election to extend the Outside Closing Date on or before five (5) business days prior to the Outside Closing Date set forth in the first sentence of this Paragraph 18. Seller is entitled to extend the Outside Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days following the Outside Closing Date set forth in the first sentence of this Paragraph 18 (or following such later date as Buyer may have extended such date pursuant to a valid Extension Notice) by providing written notice thereof to Buyer and Escrow Agent on or before three (3) days prior to such Outside Closing Date.

     Notice of change of address shall be given by written notice in the manner detailed in this Paragraph 19.
     20. Default. If either party defaults in its obligation to complete the transaction contained in this Agreement, the parties agree to the following remedies:
          (a) Breach by Seller. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS HEREIN CONTEMPLATED DO NOT OCCUR AS HEREIN PROVIDED BY REASON OF A BREACH OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY SELLER, WHICH BREACH IS NOT CURED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER SELLER RECEIVES WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF FROM BUYER, SUCH BREACH SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND BUYER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY FROM SELLER. IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH 20(a), BUYER SHALL, AS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY THEREFORE, BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THE DEPOSIT AND TO RECOVER BUYER’S REASONABLE AND ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS (DOCUMENTED BY PAID INVOICES TO THIRD PARTIES) INCURRED WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DESCRIBED HEREIN AND THE DUE DILIGENCE PERFORMED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, NOT TO EXCEED $150,000.00 IN THE AGGREGATE. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 20(a), BUYER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY EQUITABLE RELIEF. BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT UNDER THE LAW OF THE STATE OR AT COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE TO RECORD A LIS PENDENS OR A NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF ACTION OR SIMILAR NOTICE AGAINST ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ALLEGED DEFAULT BY SELLER HEREUNDER. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF SELLER SHALL BREACH THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY BY FAILING TO DELIVER ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 10(a) OF THIS AGREEMENT AND BUYER HAS TIMELY PERFORMED ALL OF ITS COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DEPOSITING THE PURCHASE PRICE INTO ESCROW) AND IS OTHERWISE PREPARED TO CLOSE THIS TRANSACTION, THEN, AND ONLY THEN, BUYER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ELECT THE ALTERNATIVE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. THE FOREGOING OPTIONS ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE AND ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO BUYER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT OF A SELLER BREACH OF OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BUYER SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY AND IRREVOCABLY DEEMED TO WAIVED THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IF BUYER FAILS TO FILE SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AGAINST SELLER IN A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY AND STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON OR BEFORE SIXTY

26


 

(60) DAYS FOLLOWING THE OUTSIDE CLOSING DATE OR EARLIER DATE UPON WHICH THE CLOSING WAS TO HAVE OCCURRED.
          (b) Breach by Buyer. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS HEREIN CONTEMPLATED DO NOT OCCUR AS HEREIN PROVIDED BY REASON OF A BREACH OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, WHICH BREACH IS NOT CURED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER BUYER RECEIVES WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF FROM SELLER OR SHF, SUCH BREACH SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATION TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO BUYER. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT OF SUCH BREACH. THEREFORE BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IS AND SHALL BE, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT. SAID AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER. BUYER HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS ESCROW AGENT TO DISBURSE THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER THIRTY (30) DAYS FOLLOWING NOTICE OF A BREACH AS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 20(b) UNLESS (i) SELLER (WITH LIMITED PARTNER CONSENT) AND BUYER OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING OR (ii) BUYER OBTAINS THE ORDER OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION PREVENTING ESCROW AGENT FROM MAKING SUCH DISBURSEMENT. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE LAW OF THE STATE, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO THE LAW OF THE STATE. UPON DEFAULT BY BUYER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM BUYER AND ESCROW AGENT AND EXCEPT FOR THOSE MATTERS WHICH, BY THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, SELLER’S RIGHT TO OBTAIN LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL IN NO EVENT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHT TO ENFORCE AND COLLECT UPON ANY INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AFFORDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

     21. Damage, Destruction or Condemnation. If prior to the Closing, there occurs any destruction of or damage or loss to the Property or any portion thereof from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any flood, accident or other casualty which, according

27


 

to Seller’s good faith estimate (the “Estimate”), would cost, with respect to the Property, more than the Threshold Amount to repair, or any condemnation proceedings are commenced or overtly threatened which would involve the taking of any portion of the Property valued at more than the Threshold Amount, then Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written Estimate of the amount of such cost or the scope of any taking, to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the other provisions of Paragraph 9(c) of this Agreement shall govern, or (b) accept the Property in its then condition and proceed with the Closing, in which case Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the deductible under Seller’s insurance policies (to the extent not satisfied by Seller prior to Closing), and Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any insurance proceeds or condemnation award received as a result of such event. Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice within the time period specified shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement. In the event the Estimate of the cost of repair or the amount of the taking, with respect to the Property, is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, then Buyer shall not have the option to terminate this Agreement, and the parties shall proceed to the Closing, in which case Buyer shall, (x) in the event of a casualty to the Property, receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the deductible under Seller’s insurance policies (to the extent not satisfied by Seller prior to Closing) (or the Estimate amount if such casualty is not covered by Seller’s insurance policy), and Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any insurance proceeds received as a result of such event and (y) in the event of a condemnation relating to the Property, Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any condemnation award received as a result of such event.
     22. Brokerage. Buyer and Seller warrant that they have had no dealings with any real estate brokers in connection with the transaction set forth herein other than Broker. Seller shall pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Seller shall not be responsible for any commissions, finder’s fees or similar compensation to any other broker or similar person. Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to utilize the services of a real estate broker other than Broker; provided, however, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all commissions, finder’s fees or similar compensation to such broker that Buyer might employ. Seller and Buyer each warrant to the other that, except for the Broker, neither has dealt with or engaged any other brokers, realtors, finders or agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold each other harmless from any cost or liability for any compensation, commission or charges claimed by any other brokers, realtors, finders or agents claiming by, through or on behalf of the respective indemnitor. This covenant shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed at Closing.
     23. Tax Credits.
          (a) Tax Credits and Affordability Requirements. Seller acquired, developed, owned and operated the Property as a project intended to generate tax credits (“Tax Credits”), including, without limitation, low-income housing tax credits under Section 42 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 42”). The Property is subject to regulatory and other agreements recorded against the Real Property and relating to

28


 

income, rent or other affordable housing restrictions (collectively referred to as the “Regulatory Agreements”). In order to maintain and preserve the Tax Credits, the Property must be operated in compliance with the Regulatory Agreements and all applicable rules, procedures, regulations, guidelines and other requirements under Section 42 and all other applicable federal, state or local affordable housing laws, regulations and other requirements relating to the Property (collectively, the “Tax Credit Laws”). Buyer acknowledges that the failure to operate the Property in compliance with the Regulatory Agreements and Tax Credit Laws may cause the recapture (and/or related liability) of all or a portion of such Tax Credits and/or result in other significant damages and economic loss related to the Tax Credits.
          (b) Covenants. Buyer hereby covenants to Seller that, from and after Closing, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense and for the duration of all applicable time periods, shall (x) assume, undertake and cause to be performed all of the obligations under the Regulatory Agreements and the Tax Credit Laws applicable to the Property, including, without limitation, all ownership and operating restrictions and all tenant qualification and rent restrictions applicable to the Property, and (y) make timely, accurate and complete submissions of all reports to governmental agencies and any other reports reasonably required to be delivered with respect to the Property pursuant to the Tax Credit Laws, the Regulatory Agreements and any other documents or regulations related to the Tax Credits (including, without limitation, any applicable Housing Authority monitoring requirements). Upon Seller’s reasonable request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller copies of any back-up or supporting documentation in Buyer’s possession or control relating to any obligation of Buyer under this Paragraph 23.
          (c) Indemnification. As a material inducement for Seller to enter into this Agreement, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its direct and indirect partners, principals, affiliates, and all of their respective employees, agents and asset managers (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from: (i) the amount of any recapture of any Tax Credits; (ii) any penalties, interest or other claims by the IRS or any other governmental agency in connection with the Tax Credits; and (iii) any liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, costs, fees, charges, losses, causes of action, demands, and expenses of any kind or nature, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees (collectively “Losses”), which Losses are related to, arise out of or are in any way connected with (A) the breach of any of the covenants in this Paragraph 23; (B) the violation of any Regulatory Agreement; or (C) any failure to maintain ownership, use and operation of the Property in accordance with the Tax Credit Laws; provided, however, that the indemnity set forth in this Paragraph 23(c) shall not apply to any Prior Noncompliance to the extent provided in Paragraph 23(f) of this Agreement.
          (d) Further Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following any sale, transfer or other conveyance of any or all of the interests in the Property, directly or indirectly, Buyer shall remain directly liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties and shall not be released from any obligations to the Seller Indemnified Parties under this Paragraph 23, whether accruing before or after the date of such sale, transfer or other conveyance.
          (e) [reserved]

29


 

          (f) Prior Non-Compliance. Except as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 23, Buyer shall have no obligations or liabilities to the Seller Indemnified Parties, whether to indemnify, perform covenants, or to pay any damages, costs, or expenses, with respect to any noncompliance with any Regulatory Agreement or with the Tax Credit Laws, to the extent such noncompliance occurred prior to Closing (“Prior Noncompliance”). Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any Prior Noncompliance of which it becomes aware. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate and/or jointly undertake with Seller, at Seller’s expense, any corrective action Seller determines is necessary to remedy the Prior Noncompliance or to mitigate Seller’s liability with respect thereto, including, without limitation, allowing Seller and its Representatives to have access to the Property and the Property files and to communicate directly with the tenants and other appropriate persons as to any such matters.
          (g) Covenant Regarding Change of Status. Buyer hereby covenants that it shall not, prior to Closing, contact any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority, tenant, tenant association, tenant’s rights group, or similar person or organization, regarding the feasibility or possibility of changing the status of the Property from an affordable housing project as currently operated, or modifying any Regulatory Agreement, whether any such change would occur prior to or after the expiration of the Tax Credits, or in any way indicate the intention to do the same. Any breach of this covenant by Buyer, whether occurring before or after the date of this Agreement, shall constitute a default hereunder by Buyer, in which event Seller (with Limited Partner Consent) may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice to Buyer and Escrow Agent of such election, whereupon this Agreement shall be terminated and the Deposit shall be retained by Seller (and the other provisions of Paragraphs 9(c) and 20(b) of this Agreement shall govern).
          (h) Regulatory Approval.
               (i) Buyer’s Obligations. In connection with all Required Consents, including, without limitation, the consent and approval of the Housing Authority, Buyer covenants to timely: (x) pay all fees and costs required by the Housing Authority in connection with such consents and approvals; and (y) deliver all documents, certifications, information, representations, agreements and other materials reasonably required to obtain such Required Consents. Buyer shall timely (and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the Opening of Escrow) file all applications required by the Housing Authority for its consent and approval to the transactions contemplated herein and shall promptly respond to all additional requests of the Housing Authority for additional information. Buyer shall use its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to timely obtain all Required Consents. Buyer shall keep Seller timely informed of the consent process and the status of its efforts. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Required Consents but Seller shall not be obligated to incur any cost, expense or liability in so doing and Buyer shall indemnify Seller as set forth in Paragraph 7(d) of this Agreement in connection with such efforts.
               (ii) Failure to Obtain Consent. In the event all Required Consents have not been obtained at least two (2) days prior to the Outside Closing Date (as the same may

30


 

be extended in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 18 hereof), this Agreement shall be terminated (in which case the provisions of Paragraph 9(c) of this Agreement shall govern).
          (i) Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Paragraph 23 shall inure to the benefit of both Seller and SHF (which is expressly made a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto, with the right to take direct action hereon and to exercise any rights or remedies afforded to Seller hereunder), and each of their respective successors and assigns, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Buyer.
          (j) Survival. The provisions of this Paragraph 23 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed at Closing.
     24. Miscellaneous.
          (a) Partial Invalidity. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
          (b) No Waivers. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision herein contained. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.
          (c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
          (d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits attached hereto) is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement among, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto. Neither this Agreement nor any of the other documents to be executed hereunder may be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder or thereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged (and in the event Seller is to be charged, with Limited Partner Consent) or as otherwise expressly permitted herein. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
          (e) Time of Essence. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision of this Agreement and that failure to timely perform any of the terms, conditions, obligations or

31


 

provisions of this Agreement by either party shall constitute a material breach of and a non-curable (but waivable in accordance with Paragraph 24(d) of this Agreement) default under this Agreement by the party so failing to perform.
          (f) Construction. Headings at the beginning of each paragraph and subparagraph are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be construed as if they had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if all parties had prepared the same. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to paragraphs and subparagraphs are to this Agreement.
          (g) Governing Law. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement has been negotiated and entered into in the State. The parties hereto expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State. Any dispute arising under this Agreement or the documents referred to herein will be adjudicated exclusively in the courts of the State with venue in the County.
          (h) Non-Binding. No party shall have any legal rights or obligations with respect to any other party, and no party should or may take any action or fail to take any action in detrimental reliance, unless and until this Agreement is executed by all of the parties hereto.
          (i) Exhibits. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached hereto and are fully incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth at length herein.
          (j) Assignment. Buyer shall not assign its rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, prior to Closing Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to a Permitted Assign; provided, however, that such assignee shall assume all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that Purchaser shall remain jointly and severally liable with its Permitted Assign for all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and under the documents to be executed and delivered in connection herewith. This Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered hereunder may be assigned by Seller to any affiliate of any partner of Seller. Notwithstanding any assignment or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement and/or the exhibits attached hereto, including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations under Paragraph 23(c) of this Agreement.
          (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute a separate document but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached and reattached to physically form one document. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic (scanned) signature.
          (l) Further Assurances. To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement and customarily executed and/or delivered in similar transactions, Buyer and Seller will make, execute, and deliver such documents and undertake such other and further acts as may be reasonably necessary to complete the transaction contemplated herein.

32


 

          (m) Third Party Beneficiary. Except for SHF, which is expressly made a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, no term or provision of this Agreement or the documents to be executed and delivered hereunder is intended to be, nor will any such term or provision be construed to be, for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity not a party hereto (including, without limitation, any broker), and no other person, firm, corporation or entity will have any right or cause of action hereunder.
          (n) No Recording. The provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a lien on the Property and neither this Agreement nor any notice or memorandum of this Agreement will be recorded by Buyer.
          (o) Business Days. If, under the terms of this Agreement, the time for the performance of any act, giving of notice, or making any payment falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, such time for performance shall be extended to the next succeeding business day.
          (p) Limited Partner of Seller. Buyer acknowledges that each limited partner (“Limited Partner”) of Seller, including, without limitation, SHF, is a limited partner of Seller and, therefore, does not have any personal liability for Seller’s obligations. Even though any such Limited Partner may have been involved in the preparation, negotiation and consummation of this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto, such involvement does not, in any manner whatsoever, modify or change any such Limited Partner’s status as a limited partner of Seller. Buyer has no claim against any Limited Partner (or any of its direct or indirect partners, principals, asset managers, contractors, agents, affiliates, successors or assigns) for the obligations of Seller hereunder.
          (q) 1031 Exchange. Any party may consummate the purchase or sale (as applicable) of the Real Property to be conveyed hereunder as part of a so-called like-kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, as amended; provided, however, that: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any assignment of this Agreement necessary to effect its Exchange shall comply with all of the terms of this Agreement; (iii) no party shall be required to take an assignment of any agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by the other party; (iv) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-exchanging party had the exchanging party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange; and (v) the non-exchanging party shall not incur any liabilities. No party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 24(q), each party shall cooperate with the other party in effecting an Exchange.

33


 

     (r) Confidentiality. Buyer shall treat this Agreement and the Property Files as confidential in all respects and shall not disclose the existence of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, the Property Files or the results of its due diligence under this Agreement without the advance written consent of Seller, except for (i) disclosure only to the extent reasonably necessary to Buyer’s Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or, after the Closing Date, for the operation of the Property; (ii) disclosure required by law or by regulators, including in response to a subpoena or similar process or as part of a filing required to be made under securities laws; (iii) disclosure in connection with litigation to enforce the terms of this Agreement; (iv) disclosure by a party required to satisfy a condition precedent to Closing; and (v) after the Closing Date, the fact of the purchase of the Property, the Purchase Price, the identity of the Seller (but not the members thereof) and other publicly available information.
     (s) SHF Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller cannot, without first obtaining Limited Partner Consent: (a) amend this Agreement; (b) waive any rights Seller may have under this Agreement; (c) incur any non-customary charges or expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or (d) incur any additional liabilities (except as expressly contemplated hereunder) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, if the consent of Seller is required under this Agreement and/or requested of Seller, Seller shall not grant such consent without first obtaining Limited Partner Consent.
      (t) Survival. The provisions of this Paragraph 24 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed at Closing.
      (u) Merger. All provisions of this Agreement (except for the terms of this Agreement which expressly survive Closing and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed at Closing) shall merge into the Special Warranty Deed with the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed, and the delivery of the Special Warranty Deed to Buyer shall constitute the full performance of Seller under this Agreement.
     (v) Record Access and Retention. To the extent Seller possesses or controls the same, prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with copies of, or reasonable access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with an audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which Closing occurs plus one (1) prior calendar year (provided, however, such audit shall not include an audit of management fees or interest expenses attributable to the Seller). Buyer shall be responsible to engage the auditor and to pay all costs associated with such audit. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 24(v) to the contrary, Seller shall not have or be required to incur any cost, expense or liability in connection with such audit.
