     This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 7th day of September, 2010, by and between PARK PLACE CONDO, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (“Seller”), and STEADFAST ASSET HOLDINGS, INC., a California corporation (“Buyer”), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS:
     A. Seller is the fee owner of one hundred forty-seven (147) condominium units, together with a percentage interest in common elements related thereto, which condominiums and common elements are located at 615 Park Street, Des Moines, Iowa and are more particularly described in Exhibit “A-1” attached hereto (“Condo Property”). Seller is also the fee owner of that certain land with a parking lot situated thereon, with forty (40) of the parking spaces within such parking lot being owned by Seller (which spaces are depicted on Exhibit “A-2” attached hereto), commonly known as 841 6th Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa, which serves the Condo Property and is more particularly described in Exhibit “A-2” (“Parking Lot Property”). The Condo Property and the Parking Lot Property, together with all structures, improvements, machinery, fixtures and equipment affixed or attached to the land, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Real Property”.
     B. Seller desires to sell the Real Property, along with certain related personal and intangible property, to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase such real, personal, and intangible property from Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
     1. PURCHASE AND SALE.
          1.1 Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for the consideration herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell and transfer, and Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire, all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Property”):
               1.1.1 The Real Property;
               1.1.2 All easements, licenses, interests, rights, and privileges appurtenant to the Real Property;
               1.1.3 All equipment, tools, machinery, materials, supplies and other tangible personal property owned by Seller and located on or used in connection with or arising out of the ownership of the Real Property as of the date hereof, as more particularly described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto (collectively, “Personal Property”);

1


 

               1.1.4 All leases and occupancy agreements relating to the Property in effect on the Date of Closing (as hereinafter defined), including all amendments thereto (collectively, “Leases”) (the Leases in effect on the date of this Agreement are identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto);
               1.1.5 Subject to Section 6.6 below, all maintenance, supply or other contracts relating to the operation of the Property in effect as of the date hereof, which are identified on Schedule 2 attached hereto (collectively, “Contracts”);
               1.1.6 All approvals, plans, studies and surveys relating to the Property, which are identified on Schedule 3 attached hereto (collectively, “Approvals”); and
               1.1.7 All entitlements and intangible personal property in connection with or arising out of the ownership of the Real Property, including, without limitation, all licenses, permits and certificates of occupancy for the Real Property and trade names and logos.
          1.2 No Warranty. Subject to the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement, Seller is selling and Buyer is purchasing the Property “AS IS WHERE IS” with all faults.
     2. PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price (“Purchase Price”) to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property shall be EIGHT MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($8,900,000.00), payable all in cash.
     3. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.
          The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
          3.1 Deposit. As part of the Opening of Escrow (as defined below), Buyer shall deliver to First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Holder”), which has an address of First American Title Insurance Company, 5 First American Way, Santa Ana, California 92707, Attn: Ryan Hahn, the sum of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($150,000.00) (“Initial Deposit”) in immediately available funds as a good faith deposit. In addition, if the Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.4 or 12 below, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder an additional sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (“Additional Deposit”) in immediately available funds within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined). The Initial Deposit, the Additional Deposit and the Extension Deposit (as hereinafter defined), and all interest earned thereon, shall be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Deposit”. The Deposit shall be in the form of wire transfer, cash or certified or bank cashier’s check. Escrow Holder shall place the Deposit in an interest-bearing account. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be included within the meaning of the term “Deposit” in this Agreement. If Closing occurs in accordance with this Agreement, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price. The Deposit shall be returned to Buyer if Escrow fails to close due to (i) Seller’s breach of this Agreement, (ii) the failure of a Buyer condition to close, or (iii) a casualty or condemnation event as described in Section 12 below.

          3.2 Remainder of Purchase Price. Before Close of Escrow, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow immediately available funds in an amount which, when added to the Deposit, will equal the Purchase Price plus any additional amounts necessary to cover costs and/or prorations under this Agreement.
          3.3 Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT COMPLETED AND THIS AGREEMENT TERMINATES BECAUSE BUYER MATERIALLY DEFAULTS UNDER OR MATERIALLY BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT, THE PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT THEN DEPOSITED WITH ESCROW HOLDER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL INTEREST THEREON SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER UPON TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, ACTUAL DAMAGES MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND THE PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT THEN DEPOSITED WITH ESCROW HOLDER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL INTEREST THEREON IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WILL BE INCURRED BY SELLER IF BUYER MATERIALLY DEFAULTS UNDER OR MATERIALLY BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

     As used in this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: “Environmental Laws” shall mean all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations now or hereafter in force, as amended from time to time, in any way relating to or regulating human health or safety, or industrial hygiene or environmental conditions, or protection of the environment, or pollution or contamination of the air, soil, surface water or groundwater, and includes the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. § 9601, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901, et seq., the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251, et seq., and the Hazardous Substance Account Act. “Hazardous Substances” shall mean any substance or material that is described as a toxic or hazardous substance waste or material or a pollutant or contaminant, or words of similar import, in any of the Environmental Laws, and includes asbestos, petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel, or any mixture thereof), petroleum products, polychlorinated biphenyls, urea formaldehyde, radon gas, radioactive matter, medical waste, and chemicals which may cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. “Release” shall mean any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into the environment, including continuing migration, of Hazardous Substances into or through soil, surface water or groundwater.

5


 

the Property without first obtaining Seller’s consent as to the timing and scope of work to be performed, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
          6.3 Title and Survey.
               6.3.1 Within three (3) days after the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall have the abstract to the Real Property updated and delivered to Buyer at Seller’s sole cost and expense (as provided in Section 11 below). Upon receipt of the updated abstract, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain a preliminary report of title prepared by the title department of Escrow Holder regarding the Property (“Title Commitment”). Buyer shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Title Commitment (“Title Objection Period”) in which to notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer has, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to any matters shown on the Title Commitment (“Title Objection Notice”). All objections raised by Buyer in the manner herein provided are hereafter called “Objections.” Seller shall make reasonable efforts to remedy or remove all Objections (or agree irrevocably in writing to remedy or remove all such Objections at or prior to Closing) within fifteen (15) days following Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Cure Period”). In the event Seller is unable to remedy or cause the removal of any Objections (or agrees irrevocably to do so at or prior to Closing) within Seller’s Cure Period, then Buyer, within ten (10) days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period, shall deliver to Seller written notice electing, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) unconditionally waive any such Objections, failing which Buyer shall conclusively be deemed to have elected (i) above. Any new title or survey information received by Seller or Buyer after the expiration of the Title Objection Period or Seller’s Cure Period, as applicable, from a supplemental title report, survey or other source which is not the result of the acts or omissions of Buyer or its agents, contractors or invitees (each, a “New Title Matter”) shall be subject to the same procedure provided in this Section 6.3 (and the Date of Closing shall be extended commensurately if the Closing would have occurred but for those procedures being implemented for a New Title Matter), except that the Buyer’s Title Objection Period and Seller’s Cure Period for any New Title Matters shall be five (5) business days each. Close of Escrow shall be delayed as needed to accommodate such additional time periods.
               6.3.2 Within three (3) days after the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of any existing survey of the Property in Seller’s possession or control. Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re-certify an existing survey of the Property as necessary in order for the title department of Escrow Holder to delete the survey exception from title or to otherwise satisfy Buyer’s objectives.
          6.4 Buyer’s Due Diligence. Subject to Section 21.2 below, Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from and after Buyer’s receipt of the documents described in Section 6.1 above (“Due Diligence Period”) to evaluate and analyze the feasibility of the Property for Buyer’s intended use thereof, including, without limitation, the zoning of the Property, the physical, environmental and geotechnical condition of the Property and the economic feasibility of owning and operating the Property. If, during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer determines that the Property is not acceptable for any reason whatsoever, Buyer shall have the right, by giving

6


 

written notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement.
          6.5 Buyer’s Termination Right. If Buyer exercises the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 6.3 or 6.4 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date the termination notice is given by Buyer. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 6.3 or Section 6.4 hereof, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder the Additional Deposit pursuant to Section 3.1 and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
          6.6 Contracts. On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing as to which of the Contracts Buyer elects to assume at Closing, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Seller shall notify the vendors under those Contract(s) which Buyer has not agreed to assume and, provided that Closing occurs hereunder, such Contracts shall terminate effective as of the Date of Closing.
     7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
          7.1 Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller in this Section 7.1 are a material inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement. Buyer would not purchase the Property from Seller without such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller.

Seller represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing as follows:
               7.1.1 Seller is a limited liability company duly incorporated and organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Iowa. Seller has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller and all required consents and approvals have been duly obtained. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.
               7.1.2 All of the Personal Property is described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto, which is a materially accurate and materially complete list of all tangible and intangible personal property owned by Seller relating to the ownership, management, operation, maintenance or repair of the Real Property.

               7.1.3 All of the Leases are described in Schedule 1 attached hereto, and there are no persons leasing, using or occupying the Real Property or any part thereof except the tenants under the Leases.

To Seller’s knowledge, all of the copies of the documents delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof are accurate and complete copies of all originals of the documents described in Section 6.1 hereof and fairly and accurately represent the financial, physical and environmental condition of the Property.
               7.1.4 All information concerning the Leases is accurate and complete.

Except as disclosed to Buyer, to the knowledge of Seller, there is no existing breach or default by the landlord or by any tenant under the Leases and, to Seller’s knowledge, the tenants have no defenses, claims or demands against the landlord, under the Leases or otherwise, which can be offset against rents or other charges due or to become due under the Leases. To Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred or condition exists which, with or without notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach or a default by the landlord or by any tenant under the Leases. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has received no notice from any tenant under the Leases claiming any breach or default by Seller under any of the Leases. To the knowledge of Seller, no money is owed to any tenant for improvements or otherwise under the Leases and no improvement, moving, relocation or other payment or credit of any kind is presently owed, or will or could become due and payable, to any tenant under the Leases. There are no leasing commissions or other commissions, fees or compensation presently owed or which will become due and payable with respect to any of the Leases or which could become due and payable in the future upon the exercise of any right or option contained in any of the Leases. Except for liens granted to Lenders, which Seller shall cause to be removed from title at or before Closing pursuant to subsection 7.1.14 below, Seller has not assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered in any manner any of the Leases or any rents or other amount payable by any tenant thereunder.

               8.1.2 Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall not use, produce, process, manufacture, generate, treat, handle, store or dispose of any Hazardous Substances in violation of applicable laws in, on or under the Real Property, or use the Real Property for any such purposes, or Release any Hazardous Substances in violation of applicable laws, into any air, soil, surface water or groundwater comprising the Real Property, or permit any person using or occupying the Real Property or any part thereof to do any of the foregoing. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall comply, and shall cause all persons using or occupying the Real Property or any part thereof to comply, with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Real Property, or the use or occupancy thereof, or any operations or activities therein or thereon.

Immediately after Seller obtains any information indicating that any Hazardous Substances may be present or any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances may have occurred in, on or under the Real Property (or any nearby real property which could migrate to the Real Property) or that any violation of any Environmental Laws may have occurred at the Real Property, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Buyer with a reasonably detailed description of the event, occurrence or condition in question. Seller shall immediately furnish to Buyer copies of all written communications received by Seller from any person (including notices, complaints, claims or citations that any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any violation of any Environmental Laws has actually or allegedly occurred) or given by Seller to any person concerning any past or present Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Real Property (or any nearby real property which could migrate to the Real Property) or any past or present violation of any Environmental Laws at the Real Property.
               8.1.3 Seller shall use its best efforts, in good faith and with diligence, to cause all of the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 7.1 hereof to be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date.
               8.1.4 Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer against and hold Buyer harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, (i) that may be suffered or incurred by Buyer if any representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 7.1 hereof was untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Seller of any such representation or warranty, (ii) arising from or based on any failure by Seller to perform all obligations of Seller in accordance with the Leases, the Contracts or the Approvals before the Closing Date, or any breach, default or violation by Seller (or any event by Seller or condition

12

Any claim of Buyer in connection with said indemnities shall be made within twelve (12) months after the Closing or shall automatically be null, void and of no force or effect whatsoever, and Buyer’s remedies for any such claim shall be limited to recovery of damages not to exceed ONE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00); provided, however, that there shall be no such monetary limitation on Buyer’s damages in connection with any third party personal injury claims or claims by made by tenants for breach of a Lease.

          8.2 Buyer. Buyer covenants and agrees with Seller as follows:
               8.2.1 All representations and warranties made by Buyer in Section 7.2 hereof shall survive the Closing. Buyer shall use its best reasonable efforts, in good faith and with diligence, to cause all of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in Section 7.2 hereof to be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages,

13


 

costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be suffered or incurred by Seller if any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Section 7.2 hereof was untrue or incorrect in any respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Buyer of any such representation or warranty.

If the amount of said taxes, assessments, or rents is not known on the Date of Closing, they shall be apportioned on the basis of the amounts for the preceding year, with a reapportionment as soon as the new amounts can be ascertained. Any deposits on utilities paid by Seller shall be returned to Seller.

For a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect all rents which are delinquent as of the Closing Date with no obligation to incur any expenses or commence litigation to collect

With respect to security deposits, if any, made by tenants at the Property, Buyer shall receive credit therefor at Closing.

     21. RECORD ACCESS AND RETENTION.
          21.1 Where there is a legitimate reason (including, without limitation, a tax or other audit, other governmental inquiry, or actual or prospective claim by or against either Seller or Buyer, or to which Seller or Buyer may become a party) for Seller or Buyer to require access to records or other information relating to the Property that is in the possession or control of the other party, and if providing such access would not adversely affect (excluding records and information requested in connection with a claim against the other party so long as such information is not subject to attorney-client privilege) the party whose records or other information are being sought (in the good faith judgment of such party), each party will allow the other reasonable access to such records and information at its then-current location (or such other location as the party in possession of such records or information may reasonably designate), in order to analyze and/or copy the same (at the requesting party’s sole cost and expense), for use solely for the purposes for which the same are being requested. In any case in which a party hereto desires to obtain any records or information pursuant to this Section 21.1, such party shall notify the other in writing of such request, setting forth in such notice the purposes for which such records and information are being requested and the expected use thereof (including, if applicable, the nature of any claim or other proceeding in which the same will be used and the parties thereto), and the party receiving such request may, as a condition to granting the same, require that the requesting party enter into an agreement protecting the confidentiality of such records and information, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J”. In no event shall a party be obligated to provide access to records or other information under this Section 21.1 in connection with any litigation, claim, or dispute between Buyer and Seller, or in which Buyer and Seller are or may become adverse parties, other than in accordance with applicable discovery and evidentiary rules and procedures applicable to such

18


 

matter, and no access to or disclosure of records or information shall be required hereunder if the same would or reasonably could result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege or other applicable evidentiary privileges that may be applicable to such records or information. Each party shall maintain its records for use under this Section 21.1 for a period of not less than one (1) year after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.
          21.2 If Seller fails to make available to Buyer records or other information as required pursuant to Section 21.1 above within two (2) business days after Buyer’s request for the same, the Due Diligence Period shall be extended one (1) day for each day such records or other information is not made available to Buyer. If the Due Diligence Period is extended by virtue of the foregoing such that the Closing Date will occur less than ten (10) days after the expiration of the extended Due Diligence Period, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the date that is ten (10) days after the expiration of such extended Due Diligence Period.
     22. CONTRACT CONSIDERATION. The parties have bargained for and expressly agree that the rights and obligations of each party contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to deliver the Initial Deposit to Escrow Holder, constitute sufficient consideration for the other party’s execution, delivery and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, Buyer’s exclusive right to inspect and purchase the Property pursuant to this Agreement and all contingencies and conditions of Closing for the benefit of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.
