ARTICLE 4 FINANCING 4.1 Purchaser assumes full responsibility to expeditiously and diligently initiate and pursue all steps necessary to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser's acquisition of such funds shall not be a contingency to closing.

Purchaser shall pay any and all amounts or fees due and payable in connection with the prepayment of the Seller's Note Obligation (other than scheduled payments of principal, interest, escrows, and reserves due prior to the Closing Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, at its option and at its sole cost and expense, elect to assume the Seller's Note Obligations in lieu of Seller's prepayment (and retirement) thereof, subject to any restrictions on assumption that may be set forth in the documents evidencing or pertaining to the Seller's Note Obligation (the "Loan Documents"). If Purchaser elects to assume the Seller's Note Obligation, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller of its intent to seek "Assumption Approval" (as hereinafter defined) not later than the last day of the Feasibility Period, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the holder of the Seller's Note Obligation to the assumption by Purchaser of the Seller's Note Obligation on the Closing Date, on terms reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, provided that (a) the terms of such assumption shall not require any increase in the rate of interest payable thereunder, any increase in the amount of the payments of principal and interest due thereunder, any decrease in the term of the maturity thereof, or the payment of any costs or fees in excess of one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount to be assumed, plus a fee of $2,000.00, plus customary costs of the holder incurred in connection with Purchaser's assumption, such as attorneys' fees and expenses, and (b) Seller and its affiliate guarantor(s) shall be released from all liability with respect to the Seller's Note Obligation effective as of the Closing Date (provided that Seller may waive such condition after notice to it from Purchaser that the holder of the Seller's Note Obligation is unwilling to consent to such release) (the "Assumption Approval"). Seller agrees to cooperate with such efforts. Any and all amounts or fees due and payable in connection with the assumption of the Seller's Note Obligation (other than scheduled payments of principal, interest, escrows, and reserves due prior to the Closing Date) shall be paid by Purchaser. ARTICLE 5 FEASIBILITY PERIOD 5.1 Subject to the terms of Section 5.3 below, for thirty (30) calendar days following the Effective Date (the "Feasibility Period"), Purchaser, and its agents, contractors, engineers, surveyors, attorneys, and employees ("Consultants") shall have the right from time to time to enter onto the Property: 5.1.1 To conduct and make any and all customary studies, tests, examinations and inspections, or investigations of or concerning the Property (including without limitation, engineering and feasibility studies, evaluation of drainage and flood plain, soil tests for bearing capacity and percolation and surveys, including topographical surveys). 5.1.2 To confirm any and all matters which Purchaser may reasonably desire to confirm with respect to the Property. 5.1.3To ascertain and confirm the suitability of the Property for Purchaser's intended use. 5.1.4 To review all Materials (as defined in Section 5.5 below) and, at the offices of the Manager located at the Property, to review and copy (at Purchaser's expense) Seller's books and records relating to the Property (other than Seller's proprietary information) and all Leases. 5.2 Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Purchase Contract for any reason, or no reason, by giving written Notice to Seller and Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date of expiration of the Feasibility Period. If Purchaser exercises such right to terminate, this Purchase Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to and except for Purchaser's liability under Section 5.3. If Purchaser fails to provide Seller with written Notice of cancellation prior to the end of the Feasibility Period in strict accordance with the Notice provisions of this Purchase Contract, this Purchase Contract shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Property shall be non-contingent and unconditional except only for satisfaction of the conditions expressly stated in this ARTICLE 5 and in ARTICLE 9. 5.3 Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any actions taken by Purchaser and its Consultants on the Property. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with attorneys selected by Seller) and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, damages, costs and liability which may arise due to such entries, surveys, tests, investigations and the like. Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests, investigations and the like that in its reasonable judgment could result in any injury to the Property or breach of any agreement, or expose Seller to any liability, costs, liens or violations of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect the Property or Seller's interest therein. Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the Tenants in connection with Purchaser's or its Consultants' activities pursuant to this Section. No consent by the Seller to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption of liability or risk by Seller. Purchaser hereby agrees to restore the Property to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser's exercise of its rights pursuant to this ARTICLE 5 at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. Purchaser shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with broad form contractual and personal injury liability endorsements with respect to Purchaser's activities on the Property pursuant to this Section 5.3, with coverages of not less than $1,000,000.00 for injury or death to any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury or death to more than one person and $500,000.00 with respect to property damage, by water or otherwise. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or termination of this Purchase Contract for a period of one (1) year from the Effective Date. 5.4 Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialmen's liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party in connection with any studies or tests conducted by or for Purchaser. Purchaser shall give notice to Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto the Property, shall deliver to Seller proof of insurance coverage required in Section 5.3 and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all investigations and inspections conducted with respect to the Property. Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of the Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to the Property or other property of Seller or other persons. All information made available by Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Purchase Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its investigations shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its Consultants, agents and employees from divulging such information to any unrelated third parties except as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Purchase Contract, including Purchaser's attorneys and representatives, prospective lenders and engineers. 5.5 Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within seven (7) calendar days from the Effective Date copies of (a) Seller's form of residential lease agreement used at the Property, (b) all Property Contracts, (c) engineering studies and environmental reports in Seller's possession or control relating to the Property and prepared for Seller by third parties (other than proprietary information of Seller), (d) the Loan Documents (to the extent in Seller's possession), and (e) those items set forth in Schedule 5.4 (collectively, the "Materials"). If the sale of the Property is not closed by the date fixed therefor, Purchaser shall, within five (5) calendar days, return all such Materials to Seller. ARTICLE 6 TITLE 6.1 On or before seven (7) calendar days from the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser (a) a preliminary title report or commitment (the "Title Commitment") prepared by Stewart Title Guaranty Company (the "Title Insurer") to issue an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title Policy") insuring title to the Property to be good and indefeasible in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (described below) and other liens and encumbrances not constituting objections to title in accordance herewith, together with legible copies of all instruments identified therein as exceptions, and (b) a survey of the Land and Improvements, prepared in accordance with and complying with the minimum requirements of ALTA and complying with all of Mortgagee's survey requirements, in a form, and certified as of a date satisfactory to the Title Insurer to delete standard survey exceptions from the Title Policy, except for any Permitted Exceptions, and (i) showing all improvements, recorded easements (to the extent locatable), set back lines and such other matters shown as exceptions by the Title Commitment; (ii) showing the right of way for all adjacent public streets; (iii) specifically disclosing whether (and, if so, what part of) any of the Property is in an area designated as requiring flood insurance under applicable federal laws regulating lenders; (iv) containing a perimeter legal description of the Property; (v) certified to Purchaser, Mortgagee, Seller and Title Insurer as being true and correct; and (vi) certifying the legal description set forth therein as describing the Property to be purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Purchase Contract (the "Survey"). On or before ten (10) days following Purchaser's receipt of the Title Commitment, the documents of record reflected therein, and the Survey, Purchaser shall give written notice (the "Objection Notice") to the attorneys for Seller of any conditions of title subject to which Purchaser is not obligated to take the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Purchase Contract (the "Objections") separately specifying and setting forth each such objection. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any matter set forth in the Objection Notice, but shall extend the Closing Date for up to an additional thirty (30) days to cure any such matter. If Seller gives Purchaser notice (the "Response Notice") that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any Objection set forth in the Objection Notice, or if Seller fails to or does not give Purchaser a Response Notice, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, elect by written notice to Seller, within five (5) Business Days after the Objection Notice is given, either (a) to accept such title as Seller is able to convey without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price, or (b) to terminate this Purchase Contract in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to give notice of its election to terminate this Agreement within such five (5) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Objections and to have elected to proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract. 6.2 All matters disclosed on the Title Commitment which are not objected to in the Objection Notice as timely delivered or which are waived or deemed waived by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1 above, the Mortgage, and any matter affecting title to the Property, even though not reflected in the Title Commitment if the Title Insurer will insure Purchaser's title clear of the matter or will insure against the enforcement of such matter, shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, other than unpaid liens for real estate and personal property taxes for years prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs and any other matter which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge at the Closing under this Purchase Contract, and the amount thereof chargeable to Seller, plus interest and penalties thereon, if any, shall be deducted from the Purchase Price on the Closing Date and paid to the Title Insurer for the payment of such matters. Purchaser agrees to accept title to the Land and Improvements, so long as the same is indefeasible, and the Deed shall be subject to the Permitted Exceptions. 6.3 Seller agrees that it shall be responsible for payment of all costs relating to the issuance of the Title Policy, and Purchaser agrees that it shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs, fees and premiums related to all endorsements or amendments thereof. 6.4 Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has been advised by Seller that the Property does not include a tract of land containing approximately 2.392 acres located contiguous to the Property (the "Contiguous Tract"), notwithstanding that Seller has used and maintained the Contiguous Tract in connection with its operation of the Property, that Seller has not paid taxes on the Contiguous Tract and does assert a claim of adverse possession with respect to the Contiguous Tract. 6.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deeds of trust and/or mortgages (including any and all mortgages which secure the Seller's Note Obligations) against the Property (whether one or more, the "Mortgage") shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions, whether Purchaser gives written notice of such or not, unless Purchaser elects to assume the Seller's Note Obligation pursuant to the provisons of ARTICLE 4, and, unless assumed by Purchaser pursuant to ARTICLE 4, shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured by Seller at or before Closing, provided that Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all amounts or fees due and payable in connection with the prepayment of the Seller's Note Obligation (other than scheduled payments of principal interest, escrows and reserves due prior to the Closing Date). 6.6 Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts in the ordinary course of business) provided, however, after the expiration of the Feasibility Period and prior to the Closing Date, all Leases and Property Contracts must be first approved in writing by Purchaser unless (a) such Lease has a term not less than six (6) months nor more than twelve (12) months and a monthly rental and other terms and conditions which are similar to those currently offered to tenants under existing Leases for units of similar size and type, or (b) such Property Contract is terminable on not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice); any such monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching by voluntary act of Seller (hereinafter, a "Voluntary Intervening Lien") shall be discharged by the Seller at or prior to Closing, on the Closing Date, or any extended Closing Date. Except as expressly provided in this ARTICLE 6, Seller shall not be required to undertake efforts to remove any Objection or other lien, encumbrance, security interest, exception, objection or other matter, to make any expenditure of money or institute litigation or any other judicial or administrative proceeding, and Seller may elect not to discharge the same; provided, however, if any lien or encumbrance (other than a Voluntary Intervening Lien) attaches to the Property between the Effective Date of this Purchase Contract and the Closing Date, Seller shall be required to satisfy or discharge said lien or encumbrance at or prior to the Closing. 6.7 Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs of the Survey and all costs of any changes to the Survey required by Purchaser or the Mortgagee. In connection therewith, Seller advises Purchaser that, as of the Effective Date, the cost of the Survey is $1,200.00. In the event the perimeter legal description of the Property contained in the Survey differs from that contained in the deed or deeds by which Seller took title to the Property, the latter description shall be used in the Deed. Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, may also cause to be prepared an environmental report for the Property. ARTICLE 7 CLOSING 7.1 Date, Place Of Closing, Prorations, Delinquent Rent and Closing Costs. 7.1.1 The Closing shall occur concurrently with the closing of the Related Contract (as defined in Section 7.3) but not earlier than the date which is the later of (a) forty-five (45) days following the expiration of the Feasibility Period, or (b) in the event that Purchaser elects to seek Assumption Approval, ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of the Assumption Approval, but in no event later than July 13, 2001, it being agreed by Seller and Purchaser that in the event that the Seller's Note Obligation is to be prepaid in connection with the Closing, the Closing shall occur on the fifteenth (15th) day of a calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceeding Business Day), through an escrow with Escrow Agent. Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means. If Purchaser seeks Assumption Approval, Purchaser shall provide to Seller written notice of Purchaser's receipt of Assumption Approval not more than three (3) Business Days following the date thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser does not receive Assumption Approval on or before 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, of July 3, 2001, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date set forth above to August 15, 2001, in which event on or before 12:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date which is not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (a) Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent an additional non-refundable deposit in the amount of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), which deposit shall become a part of, and be applied in the same manner as, the Deposit, and (b) Purchaser delivers written Notice to Seller that Purchaser is electing to extend the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 7.1.1. If Purchaser seeks to obtain an extension of the Closing date under the Related Contract, Purchaser shall also seek to extend the Closing Date of this Purchase Contract in accordance with this Section 7.1.1. 7.1.2 The Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option of Seller to a date not later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date specified in Section 7.1.1 above to satisfy a condition to Closing to be satisfied by Seller, or such later date as is mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. 7.1.3 All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, rents and other income from the Property (including any bonus or other up-front payment made under or in connection with any laundry room lease or contract which is not canceled at or prior to Closing) ("Rents"), operating expenses, personal property taxes and amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents (to the extent the Seller's Note Obligation is assumed by Purchaser), shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date, if assumed by Purchaser) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date. All unapplied Security Deposits, if any, shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing or Seller shall be given a credit therefor against the Purchase Price, as Seller may elect. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser, provided that any payments under the Property Contracts have been prorated. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year. The provisions of this Section 7.1.3 shall apply during the Proration Period (as defined below). Rents and all related charges shall be prorated based on actual collections as of the Closing Date. 7.1.4 If any of the items subject to proration hereunder cannot be prorated at the Closing because the information necessary to compute such proration is unavailable, or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date and the proper party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period (the "Proration Period") from the Closing Date until one (1) year after the Closing Date. Neither party hereto shall have the right to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a Closing proration unless within the Proration Period one of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given Notice thereof to the other party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a party to obtain any previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to proration hereunder and to give Notice thereof as provided above within the Proration Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a correction of an error or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date. 7.1.5 If on the Closing Date any Tenant is in arrears in any Rent payment under any Tenant lease (the "Delinquent Rent"), any Delinquent Rent received by Purchaser and Seller from such Tenant after the Closing shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such Tenant during the following periods in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the period of time after the Closing Date, and (ii) second, to the period of time before the Closing Date. If Delinquent Rent or any portion thereof received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing are due and payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum, less a proportionate share of any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses expended in connection with the collection thereof, shall be promptly paid to the other party. Any monies received by Seller after Closing shall be forwarded to Purchaser for disbursement in accordance with the order of payment provided herein above. After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Delinquent Rent owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant (provided, that Seller shall not commence any legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant which continues as a Tenant at the Property after Closing without the prior consent of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the delivery of the Assignment as defined in Section 7.2.1.3 shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller at no cost or liability to Purchaser in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Delinquent Rent and to take all reasonable steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the delivery to Seller, within seven (7) days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Delinquent Rent by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property. The provisions of this Section 7.1.5 shall apply during the Proration Period. 7.1.6 Seller shall pay the cost of all transfer taxes (e.g., excise stamp taxes) and Purchaser shall pay the cost of all recording costs with respect to the Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall share equally in the costs of the Escrow Agent for escrow fees but not any other fees and charges of the Title Insurer. 7.2 Items To Be Delivered Prior To Or At Closing. 7.2.1 Seller. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent (for delivery to Purchaser upon the consummation of the Closing), each of the following items, as applicable: 7.2.1.1 A Special Warranty Deed in the form attached as Exhibit E (the "Deed"). The acceptance of such deed at Closing, shall be deemed to be full performance of, and discharge of, every agreement and obligation on Seller's part to be performed under this Purchase Contract, except for those that this Purchase Contract specifically provides shall survive Closing. 7.2.1.2 A Bill of Sale without recourse or warranty in the form attached as Exhibit F, covering all Property Contracts, Leases, Security Deposits, Permits (other than Excluded Permits) and Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property required to be transferred to Purchaser with respect to such Property. Purchaser shall countersign the same so as to effect an assumption by Purchaser of, among other things, Seller's obligations thereunder. 7.2.1.3 An Assignment (to the extent assignable and in force and effect) without recourse or warranty in the form attached as Exhibit G of all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Miscellaneous Property Assets, subject to any required consents. Purchaser shall countersign the same so as to effect an assumption by Purchaser, including, without limitation, of Seller's obligations thereunder. 7.2.1.4 A closing statement executed by Seller. 7.2.1.5 A title affidavit or, at Seller's option, an indemnity, as applicable, in the customary form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Title Insurer to enable Title Insurer to delete the standard exceptions to the title insurance policy to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment (the "Title Policy") (other than matters constituting any Permitted Exceptions and matters which are to be completed or performed post-Closing); provided that such affidavit does not subject Seller to any greater liability, or impose any additional obligations, other than as set forth in this Purchase Contract. 7.2.1.6 A certification of Seller's non-foreign status pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 7.2.1.7 Except for the items expressly listed above to be delivered at Closing, delivery of any other required items shall be deemed made by Seller to Purchaser, if Seller leaves such documents at the Property in their customary place of storage or in the custody of Purchaser's representatives. 7.2.1.8 Evidence that the Management Agreement has been terminated. 7.2.1.9 A rent roll for the Property, updated to a date not earlier than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date and certified by Seller but limited to Seller's knowledge, listing the monthly base rent payable, lease expiration date and unapplied Security Deposits for each Lease. 7.2.1.10 Resolutions, certificates of good standing, and such other organizational documents as Title Insurer shall reasonably require evidencing Seller's authority to consummate this transaction. 7.2.1.11 To the extent in Seller's possession or control, originals or copies of the Leases, Property Contracts, Permits (other than Excluded Permits), lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the Property and Seller's books and records (other than proprietary information) regarding the Property. 7.2.2 Purchaser. At Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company (for disbursement to Seller upon the Closing) the following items with respect to the Property being conveyed at such Closing: 7.2.2.1 The full Purchase Price as required by ARTICLE 3 hereof, minus the then outstanding amount of the Seller's Note Obligation, plus any fees or penalties necessary to assume the Seller's Note Obligation, and plus or minus the adjustments or prorations required by this Purchase Contract. If at Closing there are any liens or encumbrances on the Property that Seller is obligated or elects to pay and discharge, Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price for the Property(s) to satisfy the same, provided that Seller shall have delivered to Title Company, on such Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record (or, as to any mortgages or deeds of trust, appropriate payoff letters, acceptable to the Title Insurer), together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments. The existence of any such liens or encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. 7.2.2.2 A closing statement executed by Purchaser. 7.2.2.3 A countersigned counterpart of the Bill of Sale in the form attached as Exhibit F. 7.2.2.4 A countersigned counterpart of the Assignment in the form attached as Exhibit G. 7.2.2.5 Such instruments, documents, certificates and opinions of counsel as are required to be delivered by Purchaser incident to obtainment of Assumption Approval, if applicable, or which otherwise evidence the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Assumption Approval (if applicable), including but not limited to the release of Seller and its affiliate guarantor(s) from all liability under the Loan Documents, have been satisfied. 7.2.2.6 Such other instruments, documents or certificates as are required to be delivered by Purchaser to Seller in accordance with any of the other provisions of this Purchase Contract. 7.2.3 Notice to Tenants. At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a letter, dated as of the date of Closing and addressed to all Tenants, informing such Tenants of the transfer of the Property and the assignment of the Leases to Purchaser, together with an instruction to pay all amounts due or to become due under the Leases to Purchaser, including an acknowledgment by Purchaser of receipt of all security deposits (specifying the exact dollar amount of the security deposit) and that Purchaser is responsible for the Tenant's security deposit, and in compliance with Section 92.105 of the Texas Property Code. The letter shall be in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto. 7.3 Related Purchase Contracts. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Purchase Contract, Purchaser is entering into a separate purchase contract (the "Related Contract") to purchase the additional properties listed on Schedule 7.3 (the "Related Property") from the seller listed on Schedule 7.3 (the "Related Seller"). Notwithstanding that separate contracts are being entered into for the sale and purchase of the Property and the Related Property, it is the intent of Seller and Purchaser that the Property and the Related Property be purchased, and the closing of such sales and purchases occur, concurrently. Accordingly, in the event that the Related Contract is terminated or cancelled by Purchaser for any reason, or if Purchaser shall be in default under the Related Contract for any reason, then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Purchase Contract, and Seller shall have the right to delivery of the Deposit pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 12 hereof; otherwise, Purchaser shall have the right to a return of the Deposit unless Seller is otherwise entitled to the delivery thereof (or portion thereof) pursuant to the other provisions of this Purchase Contract. In the event that Related Seller shall be in default under any purchase contract for a Related Property, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Purchase Contract, and Purchaser shall have the right to a return of the Deposit or to otherwise treat such default as a default under this Purchase Contract in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE 12 hereof. Any default under a purchase contract between Purchaser and any Related Seller for the purchase of a Related Property shall be deemed a default under this Purchase Contract unless expressly waived in writing by the non-defaulting party. ARTICLE 8 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER 8.1 Representations, Warranties and Covenants Of Seller. 8.1.1 For the purpose of inducing Purchaser to enter into this Purchase Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date: 8.1.1.1 Seller is lawfully and duly organized, and, if applicable, in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation set forth in the initial paragraph of this Purchase Contract; and has or at the Closing shall have the power and authority to sell and convey the Property and to execute the documents to be executed by Seller and prior to the Closing will have taken as applicable, all corporate, partnership, limited liability company or equivalent entity actions required for the execution and delivery of this Purchase Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract; provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes untrue, Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to the right to terminate this Purchase Contract and receive a return of the Deposit, and Seller shall have no other liability as a result thereof, either before or after the Closing.

Seller has not made any other contract for the sale of, or given any other person the right to purchase, all or any part of any of the Property. 8.1.1.2 Seller owns indefeasible fee title to the Property, including all real property contained therein required to be sold to Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes untrue other than through a voluntary act of Seller, Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to the right to terminate this Purchase Contract within five (5) days of receipt by Purchaser from the Title Insurer of such information and receive a return of the Deposit, less the Option Consideration, and Seller shall have no other liability as a result thereof. 8.1.1.3 There are no adverse or other parties in possession of the Property, except for occupants, guests and tenants under the Leases (provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes untrue (other than through a voluntary act of Seller), Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to the right to terminate this Purchase Contract as provided in Section 6.1 and receive a return of the Deposit, and Seller shall have no other liability as a result thereof, either before or after Closing). 8.1.1.4 The joinder of no person or entity other than Seller is necessary to convey the Property, fully and completely, to Purchaser at Closing, or to fulfill Seller's obligations under this Purchase Contract, and Seller has all necessary right and authority to convey and assign to Purchaser all contract rights and warranties required to be conveyed and assigned to Purchaser hereunder. 8.1.1.5 Purchaser has no duty to collect withholding taxes for Seller pursuant to the Foreign Investors Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended. 8.1.1.6 To Seller's knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings, litigation or governmental investigations or condemnation actions either pending or threatened against the Property, as applicable. 8.1.1.7 Seller has no knowledge of any claims for labor performed, materials furnished or services rendered in connection with constructing, improving or repairing any of the Property, as applicable, caused by Seller and which remain unpaid beyond the date for which payment was due and in respect of which liens may or could be filed against any of the Property, as applicable. 8.1.1.8 To Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of any proposed taking, condemnation or special assessment with respect to the Property. 8.1.1.9 To Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of any uncured violations of any federal, state, county or municipal law, ordinance, order, regulation or requirement affecting the Property. 8.1.1.10 To Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of any default by Seller under any of the Property Contracts that will not be terminated on the Closing Date. 8.1.1.11 Until the Closing Date, Seller agrees to (a) maintain its existing insurance policies covering the Property in full force and effect through the Closing Date, (b) continue to maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as Seller has been operating the Property immediately prior to the Effective Date, and (c) cause any of the units on the Property that are vacant as of three days prior to the Closing Date to be in "make ready" condition on the Closing Date. 8.1.1.12 To Seller's knowledge, all documents relating to the Property that are delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with this Purchase Contract, are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and none contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact. 8.1.2 Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth above in Subsection 8.1.1, the Property is expressly purchased and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS." The Purchase Price and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm's-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, and is not relying upon any information provided by Seller or "Broker" (as hereinafter defined) or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Seller or Broker, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the Deed and the representations set forth in this ARTICLE 8). If Seller provides or has provided any documents, summaries, opinions or work product of consultants, surveyors, architects, engineers, title companies, governmental authorities or any other person or entity with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties, Purchaser shall not rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents, summaries, opinions or work product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against Seller, Seller's partners or affiliates or any of their respective partners, officers, directors, participants, employees, contractors, attorneys, consultants, representatives, agents, successors, assigns or predecessors-in-interest.

Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or tenants. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Purchase Contract in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the deed with or without such tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price under this Purchase Contract. Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the foregoing matters. 8.1.3 Seller agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing representations and warranties made by Seller herein and that Purchaser has so relied. Seller and Purchaser agree that those representations and warranties contained in Section 8.1 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year (the "Survival Period"). Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to the representations and warranties contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has provided written Notice to Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any representation or warranty. In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained in Section 8.1 and Purchaser had knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith. 8.1.4 Representations and warranties above made to the knowledge of Seller shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. For purposes of this Purchase Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean and refer to only actual knowledge of the Designated Representative (as hereinafter defined) of the Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller, or any affiliate of the Seller, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any individual personal liability. As used herein, the term Designated Representative shall refer to (a) Harry Alcock, or (b) Jodi Battise, of Manager. 8.2 Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser 8.2.1 For the purpose of inducing Seller to enter into this Purchase Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date: 8.2.1.1 Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Texas. 8.2.1.2 Purchaser, acting through any of its or their duly empowered and authorized officers or members, has all necessary power and authority to own and use its properties and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and has full power and authority to enter into this Purchase Contract, to execute and deliver the documents and instruments required of Purchaser herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder; and no consent of any of Purchaser's officers or members are required to so empower or authorize Purchaser. 8.2.1.3 No pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation exists which if determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser's obligations or covenants to Seller. 8.2.1.4 Purchaser is duly authorized to execute and deliver, acting through its duly empowered and authorized officers and perform this Purchase Contract and all documents and instruments and transactions contemplated hereby or incidental hereto, and such execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser does not (i) violate any of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) violate any provision of any law, governmental rule or regulation currently in effect, (iii) violate any judgment, decree, writ, injunction, award, determination or order currently in effect that names or is specifically directed at Purchaser or its property, and (iv) require the consent, approval, order or authorization of, or any filing with or notice to, any court or other governmental authority. 8.2.1.5 The joinder of no person or entity other than Purchaser is necessary to consummate the transactions to be performed by Purchaser and Purchaser has all necessary right and authority to perform such acts as are required and contemplated by this Purchase Contract. 8.2.2 Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, finder or any other person, in connection with the purchase of or the negotiation of the purchase of the Property that might give rise to any claim for commission against Seller or lien or claim against the Property. 8.2.3 Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining the Assumption Approval, if applicable. ARTICLE 9 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING 9.1 Without limiting any of the rights of Purchaser elsewhere provided for in this Purchase Contract, Purchaser's obligation to close under this Purchase Contract, shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following conditions precedent: 9.1.1 All of the documents required to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall have been delivered and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. 9.1.2 Seller's representations and warranties set forth in this Purchase Contract shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date, and shall be true and correct in all material respects on the Closing Date as though such representations and warranties were made at and as of such date and time (and Purchaser shall be permitted to perform an inspection of the Property immediately prior to the Closing Date to verify same). 9.1.3 Seller shall have fully complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects, each of the covenants, terms, conditions, and other obligations in this Purchase Contract to be performed or complied with or fulfilled by Seller at or prior to Closing. 9.1.4 Neither Seller nor Seller's general partner shall be a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding or shall have been in the last 6 months a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding. 9.1.5 A taking of all or any part of the Property must not have been commenced or threatened in writing. 9.1.6 The actual occupancy level of the Property shall not have decreased by more than ten percent (10%) from the actual occupancy level on the Effective Date. 9.1.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions on Purchaser's obligation to Close except as expressly set forth above. If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Purchase Contract, Purchaser may, at its option (a) extend the Closing Date to permit satisfaction of such condition, (b) waive such condition and proceed to Closing and accept title to the Property with an agreed-upon offset or deduction from the Purchase Price (assuming Seller and Purchaser can agree upon such offset or deduction amount, and neither party has any obligation to come to an agreement), (c) waive such condition and proceed to Closing and accept title to the Property without any offset or deduction from the Purchase Price, or (d) notify Seller of Purchaser's election to terminate this Purchase Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent. 9.1.9 There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Seller. 9.2 Without limiting any of the rights of Seller elsewhere provided for in this Purchase Contract, Seller's obligation with respect to the conveyance of the Property and to close under this Purchase Contract shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following conditions precedent: 9.2.1 Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in this Purchase Contract shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made, and shall be true and correct in all material respects on the Closing Date and as of the Effective Date as though such representations and warranties were made at and as of such date and time. 9.2.2 Purchaser shall have fully complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects, each of the covenants, terms, conditions, and other obligations in this Purchase Contract to be performed or complied with or fulfilled by Purchaser at or prior to Closing, including, without limitation, payment in full of the Purchase Price. 9.2.3 There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser. 9.2.4 Seller and its key principals shall be released from all liability with respect to the Seller's Note Obligation, if Purchaser elects to assume the Seller's Note Obligation, except to the extent this condition is waived by Seller pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1 9.2.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions on Seller's obligation to Close except as expressly set forth above. If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Purchase Contract, Seller may, at its option (a) extend the Closing Date to permit satisfaction of such condition, (b) waive such condition and proceed to Closing, or (c) notify Purchaser of Seller's election to terminate this Purchase Contract and receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent (which Seller shall retain as liquidated damages, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE 12 hereof. ARTICLE 10 BROKERAGE 10.1 Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with Art Wadlund of Hendricks & Partners ("Broker") in connection with this Purchase Contract. Purchaser acknowledges that Broker represents Seller only and does not represent Purchaser in connection with this Purchase Contract. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that, other than Broker, it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this Purchase Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify the other party from and against all claims for brokerage commissions and finder's fees arising from or attributable to the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party. 10.2 Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission according to the terms of a separate agreement. Broker shall not be deemed a party or third party beneficiary of this Purchase Contract. 10.3 Broker assumes no responsibility for the condition of the Property or representation for the performance of this Purchase Contract by the Seller or Purchaser. 10.4 The Texas Real Estate License Act requires written notice to Purchaser from any licensed real estate broker or salesman who is to receive a commission from Purchaser that Purchaser should have an attorney of its own selection examine an abstract of title to the property being acquired or that Purchaser should be furnished with or should obtain a title insurance policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to Purchaser on behalf of Broker. ARTICLE 11 POSSESSION 11.1 Possession of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, subject to Purchaser's earlier right of entry for inspection as set forth in ARTICLE 5. ARTICLE 12 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 12.1 In the event (a) Purchaser terminates this Purchase Contract for any reason other than pursuant to (i) ARTICLE 5, (ii) ARTICLE 6, or (iii) Seller's inability to convey title pursuant hereto, or (b) Purchaser defaults hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing does not occur by reason of such termination or default by Purchaser (and not by reason of Seller's default hereunder), Seller and Purchaser agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Seller may suffer. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, except for the Purchaser's obligations to Seller under Section 5.3, the reasonable estimate of the total net detriment that Seller would suffer in the event that Purchaser so terminates this Purchase Contract or defaults hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date is and shall be, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity), the right to receive from the Escrow Agent and retain the full amount of the Deposit. The payment of the Deposit as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of applicable law and is intended to settle all issues and questions about the amount of damages suffered by Seller in the applicable event, except only for damages under Section 5.3 above, irrespective of the time when the inquiry about such damages may take place. Upon any such failure by Purchaser hereunder, this Purchase Contract shall be terminated, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for the Purchaser's obligations to Seller under Section 5.3 above, and the right of Seller to collect the Deposit as liquidated damages. 12.2 Provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract and is not otherwise in default hereunder, if the Closing does not occur as a result of Seller's default hereunder (which shall not include Seller's inability to convey title [other than through a voluntary act of Seller]), the inaccuracy of either of Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.1.1.2 or 8.1.1.3, the inaccuracy of either or both of Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.1.1.1 or 8.1.1.4 due to Seller's inability to obtain any necessary consent or approval prior to the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to the provisions hereof), Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to elect to either (a) terminate this Purchase Contract and receive reimbursement of the Deposit or (b) enforce specific performance of this Purchase Contract; provided, however, that in the event Purchaser is unable to enforce the remedy of specific performance after using commercially reasonable efforts to seek to enforce such remedy, then in lieu of obtaining specific performance, Purchaser shall have the right to bring suit for damages against Seller in an amount not to exceed $102,000.00 in addition to receiving reimbursement of the Deposit. ARTICLE 13 RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY 13.1 In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date but prior to Closing, and the cost of repair is more than $300,000, then Seller will have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction and, at Purchaser's option, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any such damage or destruction, and Purchaser shall receive, at Closing all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto (plus a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith), but only to the extent the damage or destruction has not been repaired by Seller out of the insurance proceeds. 13.2 In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, and the cost of repair is less than $300,000, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, Seller shall make such repairs if they can be reasonably effected before the Closing. If Seller is unable to effect such repairs, then Purchaser shall receive at Closing all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto which have not been expended by Seller on repairs (or designated for repairs in process but incomplete) to the date of Closing (plus a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith). ARTICLE 14 LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE [Intentionally Omitted.] ARTICLE 15 EMINENT DOMAIN 15.1 In the event that at the time of Closing all or any part of the Property is (or has previously been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by authority of any governmental agency in purchase in lieu thereof (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's option, to terminate this Purchase Contract by giving written Notice within Fifteen (15) days of Purchaser's receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event and recover the Deposit, or to settle in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Contract for the full Purchase Price and receive the full benefit or any condemnation award.

If the sale of the Properties is not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension date) owing to failure of satisfaction of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations that is not caused by or attributable to, directly or indirectly, any act or failure to act of Purchaser, the Deposit shall be returned and refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, subject to and except for Purchaser's liability under Section 4.4. 3.1.4. If the sale of the Properties is not closed by the date fixed therefor (subject to any extension set forth herein) owing to failure of performance by either Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in Article 12 hereof. If the sale of the Properties is not closed by the date fixed therefor (or any such extension date set forth herein) owing to failure of performance by Purchaser, the Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and the sum thereof shall go to Sellers as Sellers' sole and exclusive remedy forthwith as liquidated damages for the lost opportunity costs and transaction expenses incurred by Sellers, as more fully set forth in Article 12 below. Article 4. FEASIBILITY PERIOD 4.1. Subject to the terms of Section 4.4 below, for thirty (30) calendar days following the Effective Date (the "Feasibility Period"), Purchaser, and its agents, contractors, engineers, surveyors, attorneys, and employees ("Consultants") shall have the right from time to time, during normal business hours and after prior notice to Sellers, to enter onto the Properties: 4.1.1. To conduct and make any and all studies, tests, examinations and inspections, or investigations of or concerning the Properties (including, without limitation, environmental studies, structural engineering and feasibility studies, evaluation of drainage and flood plain, soil tests for bearing capacity and percolation, surveys, including topographical surveys, title and zoning law compliance). 4.1.2.

Should the results of any of the matters referred to in sub-paragraphs 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 above appear unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any reason or if Purchaser elects not to proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Purchase Contract, for any other reason, or for no reason whatsoever, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Purchase Contract by giving written Notice to that effect to Sellers and Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. EST on the date of expiration of the Feasibility Period. If Purchaser exercises its right to terminate, this Purchase Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to and except for Purchaser's liability under Section 4.4, and Escrow Agent shall forthwith deliver to Sellers the sum of One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) as consideration for Sellers having taken the Properties off the market, and return the Deposit to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to provide Sellers with written Notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period in strict accordance with the Notice provisions of this Purchase Contract, this Purchase Contract shall remain in full force and effect and Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Properties shall be non-contingent and unconditional except only for satisfaction of the conditions expressly stated in this Article 4 and in Article 9. 4.3. No later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, each Seller with respect to its Property shall deliver (solely to the extent in such Seller's possession or control) to the Purchaser copies of existing (i) Property Contracts, (ii) Leases (in effect as of the Effective Date), (iii) soil and environmental reports and studies, (iv) reports and studies relating to the physical condition of its Property, (v) a list of Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property, (vi) monthly operating statements and audited or unaudited annual operating statements for the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Date, (vii) a rent roll, a list of all accounts receivable and a delinquency report, (viii) copies of termination notices relating to the Leases received by such Seller which would be effective after the Closing Date, (ix) copies of any notices received from local and state governmental authorities. In addition, no later than five (5) days following the Effective Date, each Seller shall make available to Purchaser at its Property (in each case, solely to the extent in such Seller's possession or control) the following with respect to its Property: (x) architectural and engineering plans, (xi) tenant correspondence files with respect to the Leases, (xii) service and repair requests and work orders relating to such Property, and (xiii) copies of governmental permits, alarm registrations and other permits and licenses necessary for the operation of its Property. 4.4. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with attorneys selected by Sellers in their reasonable discretion) and hold each Seller harmless for any actions taken by Purchaser and its Consultants and any and all claims, damages, costs and liability which may arise due to such entries, surveys, tests, investigation and the like on the Properties in connection with the performance of Purchaser's due diligence hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be liable for any damages incurred by either Seller resulting from the mere discovery by Purchaser of a condition at or with regard to such Seller's Property, Purchaser hereby acknowledging, however, that Sellers shall have no obligation to Purchaser in connection with such condition or otherwise to remedy such condition unless the remedy of specific performance, as provided in Article 12 hereof, would require a Seller to do so. Each Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove of any and all entries, surveys, tests, investigations and the like other than Phase I environmental investigations that in its reasonable judgment could result in any injury to its Property or breach of any agreement, or expose such Seller to any liability, costs, liens or violations of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect its Property or such Seller's interest therein. No consent by either Seller to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by either Seller or assumption of liability or risk by either Seller. Purchaser hereby agrees to restore the Properties to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser's exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article 4, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, to the extent the damage to any Property or the change in condition thereof is attributable to the performance of due diligence hereunder by Purchaser or its Consultants. Purchaser shall maintain comprehensive public liability insurance with broad form contractual and personal injury liability endorsements with respect to each Property and Purchaser's activities carried on therein, in amounts (including deductible amounts) and with such insurance carriers as shall be approved by Sellers and naming Sellers and their affiliates as additional insureds, with endorsements acceptable to Sellers, including a waiver of defenses of the insurer based on the actions or inaction of Purchaser. Such liability insurance shall provide coverages of not less than $1,000,000 (per occurrence and in the aggregate) for death or injury to persons and for property damage. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or termination of this Purchase Contract. 4.5. Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialman's liens or any other liens to attach to either Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party in connection with any studies or tests conducted by or for Purchaser. Purchaser shall give notice to Sellers within a reasonable time prior to entry onto any Property and shall permit each Seller to have a representative present during all investigations and inspections conducted with respect to its Property. Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of the Properties, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Properties, pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to the Properties or other property of Sellers or other persons. Article 5. TITLE 5.1. Sellers have secured commitments for title insurance for the Properties (collectively the "Title Commitment") from Stewart Title Guaranty Company ("Title Insurer") for owner's title insurance policies (1992 ALTA Form B), and have delivered the Title Commitment together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein to Purchaser. Each Seller agrees that it is responsible for the cost of a standard owner's title policy for its Property. Purchaser agrees that it shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs relating to any extended owner's title policies and any requested endorsements. 5.2. Purchaser agrees to accept title to the Land and Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Contract, so long as with respect to each Property (i) the title is good and marketable and insurable, and (ii) any conveyance by special warranty or an equivalent deed pursuant to this Purchase Contract shall be subject to the following, all of which shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions," and Purchaser agrees to accept the deed and title subject thereto: 5.2.1. All exceptions shown in the Title Commitment on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period other than mechanics' liens and taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing and the standard exceptions which shall be omitted [except that the standard exception for parties in possession shall be modified to read "rights of tenants as tenants only under unrecorded leases"]; 5.2.2. All Leases; 5.2.3. Real estate and property taxes to the extent not due and payable; 5.2.4. Such exceptions and matters as the Title Insurer shall be willing to omit as exceptions to coverage; and 5.2.5. All Property Contracts which are not identified for termination by Purchaser during the Feasibility Period and all Excluded Property Contracts which shall be assumed by Purchaser or cancelled with Purchaser being solely responsible for the payment of any cancellation fees or penalties. 5.3. With respect to each Property, the existence of the Loan Documents, liens, or encumbrances shall not be objections to title, provided that properly executed instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy and remove the same of record are delivered to the Purchaser at Closing or, in the alternative, payoff letters from the Lender or any holder of any Loan Documents shall have been delivered to and accepted by the Title Insurer (sufficient to remove the same from the policy issued at Closing), together in either case, with recording and/or filing fees. 5.4. Unpaid liens for taxes, charges, and assessments shall not be objections to title, but the amount thereof plus interest and penalties thereon shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid for the applicable Property hereunder and allowed to Purchaser, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes and charges contained herein. 5.5. Unpaid franchise or business corporation taxes of any corporations in the chain of title shall not be an objection to title, provided that the Title Insurer agrees to insure against collection out of the applicable Property or otherwise against Purchaser or its affiliates, and provided further that the Title Insurer agrees to omit such taxes as exceptions to coverage with respect to any lender's title insurance policy with respect to the applicable Property. 5.6. If on the Closing Date there shall be conditional bills of sale or Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements applicable to any Property that exceed the period of time mandated under the law of the state where the Properties are located that a Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement is perfected without the filing of UCC-3 continuation statements and such Financing Statements have not been extended by the filing of UCC-3 continuation statements within the applicable time period mandated by the applicable state law, such Financing Statements shall not be deemed an objection to title. 5.7. If on the Closing Date, the state of title is other than in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Purchase Contract or if any condition to be fulfilled by either Seller shall not be satisfied, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with written Notice thereof at such time, or such title objection or unfulfilled condition shall be deemed waived by Purchaser in which case Purchaser and Sellers shall proceed to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date. If Purchaser timely gives Sellers such Notice, each Seller, with respect its Property and at its sole option and within seven (7) calendar days following receipt of such Notice, may elect to cure such objection or unfulfilled condition for up to thirty (30) calendar days. Should such Seller be able to cure such title objection or condition, or should such Seller be able to cause title insurance over the same by the Closing Date or any postponed Closing Date, or should Purchaser waive such objection or condition within such period for cure, then the Closing shall take place on or before fifteen (15) calendar days after such cure or waiver. 5.8. Subject to each Seller's obligation to cure under Section 5.9, if during the period of cure either Seller, with respect to its Property, is unable or unwilling, in its sole discretion or opinion, to eliminate such title objection or cause a title insurance company to insure over such matter or satisfy such unfulfilled condition, Sellers shall give Purchaser written Notice thereof, and if Purchaser does not waive such objection by written Notice delivered to Sellers and the Title Insurer on or before seven (7) calendar days following the date Sellers give such Notice, then this Purchase Contract shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent less the sum of One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100) paid to Sellers as consideration for taking the Properties off of the market; each Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of actual third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the investigations of such Seller's Property in an amount not to exceed a total of Twenty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000) paid to Purchaser for both Properties and as a condition of prior to such payment to Purchaser, Sellers shall have been provided copies of and rights to all inspections and reports; and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to each other. 5.9. Each Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance (other than Leases and Property Contracts permitted by this Purchase Contract) to attach to its Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date. Any monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching by voluntary act of either Seller shall be discharged by such Seller at or prior to Closing, on the Closing Date or any postponed Closing Date. Except as expressly provided above, neither Seller shall be required to undertake efforts to remove any other lien, encumbrance, security interest, exception, objection or other matter, to make any expenditure of money or institute litigation or any other judicial or administrative proceeding and either Seller may elect not to discharge the same. 5.10. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate this Purchase Contract or object to any lien, encumbrance, exception or other matter that is a Permitted Exception, that has been waived or that has been deemed to have been waived by Purchaser. 5.11. Sellers have caused a survey to be prepared for the Properties ("Survey"). An original counterpart of the Survey has been or will be delivered to Purchaser no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date. In the event that the perimeter legal description of any Property contained in such Survey differs from that contained in the deed or deeds by which a Seller took title to its Property, the latter description shall be used in the special warranty deed or equivalent (which is attached as Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to this Purchase Contract for each Property) delivered to Purchaser at Closing, and the Survey legal shall be used in a quitclaim deed to the applicable Property which also shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Should the Survey disclose conditions that give rise to a title exception other than a Permitted Exception, Purchaser shall have the right to object thereto within the Feasibility Period in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 4 above. Purchaser and Sellers agree to split the cost of the Survey which shall be paid on or before the Closing. Purchaser agrees to pay any additional costs relating to the Survey or any update thereto on or before the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract do not close then Sellers shall be responsible for the full cost of the Survey. Article 6. FINANCING 6.1 Purchaser assumes full responsibility to expeditiously and diligently initiate and pursue all steps necessary to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser's acquisition of such funds shall not be a contingency to Closing. It is specifically agreed that Sellers shall not be obligated to prepay the Existing Financing until the Closing Date, and then only from the proceeds of the Purchase Price. Article 7. CLOSING 7.1. Dates, Places Of Closing, Prorations, And Delinquent Rent. 7.1.1. The Closing shall take place on August 1, 2001, provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. The parties may mutually agree to an earlier Closing Date. Purchaser and Sellers shall conduct the Closing through an escrow with the Title Insurer in its Houston, Texas office, whereby Sellers, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and each may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means to the Escrow Agent. 7.1.2. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]. 7.1.3. All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, Rents (as defined below), income derived from the Properties, operating expenses, personal and real property taxes, other operating expenses, and fees, shall be prorated as of midnight on the day preceding the Closing Date, Sellers being charged and credited for all of same attributable to the period up to midnight on the day preceding the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Sellers attributable to the period on or after midnight on the day preceding the Closing Date) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the period on and after midnight on the day preceding Closing Date. All unapplied security deposits under Leases, if any, shall be transferred by each Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation to pay such security deposits to Tenants, if required under the Leases, to the extent that such security deposits are transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Properties, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the year of Closing, shall be prorated to midnight on the day preceding the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the applicable Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year and a re-proration of real estate taxes shall subsequently be performed based upon the assessed value and tax rate for the year in which the Closing occurs at the time that such information becomes available. The proration shall be final and unadjustable except-as provided in the following paragraph. For purposes of this Section 7.1.3 and Sections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 the terms "Rent" and "Rents" shall include, without limitation, base rents, additional rents, and any other charges under the Leases. The provisions of this Section 7.1.3 shall apply during the Proration Period (as defined below). 7.1.4. If any of the items subject to proration hereunder cannot be prorated at the Closing because the information necessary to compute such proration is unavailable, or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected promptly after the date of such availability or discovery and the proper party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period (the "Proration Period") from the Closing Date until one (l) year after the Closing Date. No party hereto shall have the right to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a Closing proration unless within the Proration Period one of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given Notice thereof to the other party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a party to obtain any previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to proration hereunder and to give Notice thereof as provided above within the Proration Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a correction of an error or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date. 7.1.5. With respect to unpaid Rent not more than thirty (30) days delinquent, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect the same for each Seller's benefit after the Closing in the usual course of the operation of the Properties (but Purchaser shall not be required to incur any expense in such collection effort) and such collection, if any shall be remitted to the applicable Seller (less costs and expenses of collection, if any) promptly upon receipt by Purchaser; provided Purchaser's obligation to remit such delinquent rental payments to such Seller shall terminate sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

Upon completion of repairs, Purchaser shall promptly forward to such Seller proof of payment for such repairs, and any other information reasonably required by such Seller or such Seller's insurance carrier.
