Further, the Closing Date may be extended by delivering written notice to Purchaser no later than 2 Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date without penalty at the option of Seller to a date not later than 30 days following the Closing Date specified in the first sentence of this paragraph above (or, if applicable, as extended by Seller pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph) to satisfy a condition to be satisfied by Seller, or such later date as is mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. Provided that Purchaser is not in default under the terms of this Contract, Purchaser shall be permitted a one-time extension of the Closing Date for up to 30 days by (i) delivering written notice to Seller no later than 10 Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date ("Purchaser's Closing Extension Option"), and (ii) simultaneously with such notice to Seller, delivering to Escrow Agent an amount equal to $2,500.00 for each requested day of the extension, which amount when received by Escrow Agent shall be (a) added to the Deposit hereunder and (b) added to the Purchase Price, and shall be non-refundable (except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to the Deposit), and shall be held, credited and disbursed in the same manner as provided hereunder with respect to the Deposit. Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price shall be increased by the aggregate amount paid by Purchaser for its exercise of Purchaser's Closing Extension Option. In the event Seller has elected to extend the Closing Date to the last Business Day of the month pursuant to this Section 5.1 because Lender will not permit Seller to repay the Loan on a date other than the last Business Day of the month, then Purchaser shall only be permitted to extend the Closing Date for a full 30 day period. 5.2 Seller Closing Deliveries. No later than 1 Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Escrow Agent, each of the following items: 5.2.1 Statutory Warranty Deed (the "Deed") in the form attached as Exhibit B to Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. 5.2.2 A Bill of Sale in the form attached as Exhibit C. 5.2.3 A General Assignment in the form attached as Exhibit D (the "General Assignment"). 5.2.4 An Assignment of Leases and Security Deposits in the form attached as Exhibit E (the "Leases Assignment"). 5.2.5 Intentionally Omitted. 5.2.6 A closing statement executed by Seller. 5.2.7 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 set forth in this Contract (other than matters constituting any Permitted Exceptions and matters which are to be completed or performed post-Closing) to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment. 5.2.8 A certification of Seller's non-foreign status pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 5.2.9 Notification letters to all Tenants prepared and executed by Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. 5.2.10 Evidence that the contract with the management company of the Property has been terminated at Seller's sole cost and expense. 5.2.11 Resolutions, certificates of good standing, and such other organizational documents as Title Insurer shall reasonably require evidencing Seller's authority to consummate this transaction. 5.3 Purchaser Closing Deliveries. No later than 1 Business Day prior to the Closing Date (except for the balance of the Purchase Price which is to be delivered at the time specified in Section 2.2.4), Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (for disbursement to Seller upon the Closing) the following items with respect to the Property being conveyed at such Closing: 5.3.1 The full Purchase Price (with credit for the Deposit), plus or minus the adjustments or prorations required by this Contract. 5.3.2 A title affidavit or at Purchaser's option an indemnity pertaining to Purchaser's activity on the Property prior to Closing, in the customary form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Title Insurer to enable Title Insurer to delete the standard exceptions to the title insurance policy set forth in this Contract (other than matters constituting any Permitted Exceptions and matters which are to be completed or performed post-Closing) to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment. 5.3.3 Any declaration or other statement which may be required to be submitted to the local assessor with respect to the terms of the sale of the Property. 5.3.4 A closing statement executed by Purchaser. 5.3.5 A countersigned counterpart of the General Assignment. 5.3.6 A countersigned counterpart of the Leases Assignment. 5.3.7 A countersigned counterpart of the Notification letters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. 5.3.8 Intentionally Omitted. 5.3.9 Intentionally Omitted. 5.3.10 Resolutions, certificates of good standing, and such other organizational documents as Title Insurer shall reasonably require evidencing Purchaser's authority to consummate this transaction. 5.3.11 Intentionally Omitted. 5.3.12 The Lender Fees (which fees shall be subtracted from the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.2). 5.4 Closing Prorations and Adjustments. 5.4.1 General. All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, collected rents, operating expenses, personal property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, 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. Seller shall prepare a proration schedule (the "Proration Schedule") of the adjustments described in this Section 5.4 prior to Closing, which schedule shall be reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser. Such adjustments shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Purchaser at Closing. 5.4.2 Operating Expenses. All of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes, such as rental taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of the Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to Closing and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing Date. 5.4.3 Utilities. The final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties' reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within 45 days after the Closing, if necessary. Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and Seller shall notify each utility company serving the Property to terminate Seller's account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date. 5.4.4 Real Estate Taxes. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments, 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 tax 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 tax year. For purposes of this Contract, the term "tax year" shall mean the period from October 1 until September 30 of each calendar year. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing. 5.4.5 Property Contracts. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser, subject to proration of operating expenses under Section 5.4.2. 5.4.6 Leases. 5.4.6.1 All collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating cost pass-throughs or other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases), income and expenses from any portion of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (prorated for any partial month). Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date. Seller shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made in relation to either (a) non-delinquent rents which have not been collected as of the Closing Date, or (b) delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the "Uncollected Rents"). In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in Seller's favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay Seller its share of such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser, and Seller shall pay Purchaser its share of collected rent attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date as and when collected by Seller. 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 Uncollected Rents 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 and the delivery of the Leases Assignment shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents 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 7 days after a written request, written copies 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 Uncollected Rents by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to spend a material amount of money or to terminate any Tenant lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property. 5.4.6.2 At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) Tenant Deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage or other refundable deposits or required to be paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the Tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state law (the "Tenant Security Deposit Balance"). Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by Seller which constitute the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by Seller pursuant to this Contract (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by Purchaser. The Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall not include any non-refundable deposits or fees paid by Tenants to Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to any and all applicable laws, Seller agrees that as of the Closing Date it shall not apply the Tenant Deposit against any Uncollected Rent which is past due less than 30 days. The foregoing restriction shall not apply if any Tenant Lease is the subject of a pending eviction proceeding. 5.4.6.3 With respect to operating expenses, taxes, utility charges, other operating cost pass-throughs, retroactive rental escalations, sums or charges payable by Tenants under the Tenant Leases, to the extent that Seller has received as of the Closing payments allocable to periods subsequent to Closing, the same shall be properly prorated with an adjustment in favor of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall reserve a credit therefor at Closing. With respect to any payments received by Purchaser after the Closing allocable to Seller prior to Closing, Purchaser shall promptly pay the same to Seller. 5.4.7 Existing Loan. On the Closing Date, Seller shall pay (which payment may be made by Seller out of the proceeds of the Purchase Price) the outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all interest accrued under the Note prior to the Closing Date (the "Loan Payoff"). Purchaser shall pay all Lender Fees, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Lender Fees in accordance with Section 2.2. Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Loan shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at the Closing unless credited by Lender against the amount due from Seller under the Note. 5.4.8 Insurance. No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. 5.4.9 Employees. All of Seller's and Seller's manager's on-site employees shall have their employment at the Property terminated as of the Closing Date. 5.4.10 Closing Costs. Purchaser shall pay any transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the Title Policy pursuant to Section 4.1, and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent. Seller shall pay the base premium for the Title Policy to the extent required by Section 4.1, and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent, and the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property. 5.4.11 Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. 5.4.12 Possession. Possession of the Property, subject to the Leases, Property Contracts, and Permitted Exceptions, shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing upon release from escrow of all items to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price. To the extent reasonably available to Seller, originals or copies of the Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the property, and Seller's books and records (other than proprietary information) regarding the Property shall be made available to Purchaser at the Property after the Closing. At Closing, Seller shall make available to Purchaser copies of all Tenant-related reports and records which (a) can be generated from Seller's existing software and (b) have been maintained by Seller in the ordinary course of business. 5.4.13 Post Closing Adjustments. In general, and except as provided in this Contract or the Closing Documents, Seller shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of the Property for the period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of the Property for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser or Seller may request that Purchaser and Seller undertake to re-adjust any item on the Proration Schedule (or any item omitted therefrom) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of this Contract; provided, however, that neither party shall have any obligation to re-adjust any items (a) after the expiration of 60 days after Closing, or (b) subject to such 60-day period on a one-time basis only, unless such items exceed $2,500.00 in magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate). The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. ARTICLE 6 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND PURCHASER 6.1 Seller's Representations. Except, in all cases, for any fact, information or condition disclosed in the Title Documents, the Permitted Exceptions, the Property Contracts, or the Materials, or which is otherwise known by Purchaser prior to the Closing, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser the following (collectively, the "Seller's Representations") as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date (provided that Purchaser's remedies if any such Seller's Representations are untrue as of the Closing Date are limited to those set forth in Section 8.1): 6.1.1 Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation set forth in the initial paragraph of this Contract; and has or at the Closing shall have the entity 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 Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract. The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Seller's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract or on the Property. This Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against Seller in accordance with its terms; 6.1.2 Other than the Leases, the Property is not subject to any written lease executed by Seller or, to Seller's knowledge, any other possessory interests of any person; 6.1.3 Seller is not a "foreign person," as that term is used and defined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 1445, as amended; 6.1.4 Except for any actions by Seller to evict Tenants under the Leases and for that certain Complaint styled as "Checkers Carpet Professionals, Inc. an Alabama corporation vs. Palisades Apartments and National Property Investors 5, a California limited partnership", filed on February 18, 2003 in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, as Case No. CV-03-436, to Seller's knowledge (a) there are no actions, proceedings, litigation or governmental investigations or condemnation actions either pending or threatened against the Property, and (b) Seller has not received any written notice from any governmental entity of any intent by such entity to condemn the Property or any portion thereof; 6.1.5 To Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice from a governmental agency of any uncured material violations of any federal, state, county or municipal law, ordinance, order, regulation or requirement affecting the Property; and 6.1.6 To Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of any material default by Seller under any of the Property Contracts that will not be terminated on the Closing Date. 6.2 AS-IS. Except for Seller's Representations, 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 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 conveying the Property and Seller's Representations). Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions affecting the Property. Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases Seller's Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire against Seller's Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions or other conditions affecting the Property. Purchaser represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, it has and shall have reviewed and conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation, environmental studies and analyses concerning the presence of lead, asbestos, PCBs and radon in and about the Property), reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Property. 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's Indemnified Parties. Purchaser shall rely only upon any title insurance obtained by Purchaser with respect to title to the Property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Property with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Property, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Property, or any part thereof, or the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing. 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. 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 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 Contract. Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the foregoing matters. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. 6.3 Survival of Seller's Representations. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 6 months (the "Survival Period"). Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to Seller's Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has filed a lawsuit against Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any of Seller's Representations. Under no circumstances shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for more than $50,000 in any individual instance or in the aggregate for all breaches of Seller's Representations, nor shall Purchaser be entitled to bring any claim for a breach of Seller's Representations unless the claim for damage (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Purchaser exceeds $5,000. In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained in Section 6.1 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. 6.4 Definition of Seller's Knowledge. Any representations and warranties made "to the knowledge of Seller" shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. For purposes of this Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of the Designated Representative 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 Ann Porter, telephone (256) 739-6516, facsimile (775) 251-8205 who is the Regional Property Manager handling this Property (the "Regional Property Manager"). 6.5 Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser. For the purpose of inducing Seller to enter into this 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: 6.5.1 Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Illinois. 6.5.2 Purchaser, acting through any of its or their duly empowered and authorized officers or members, has all necessary entity 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 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 partners, directors, officers or members are required to so empower or authorize Purchaser. The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Purchaser's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract. This Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against Purchaser in accordance with its terms. 6.5.3 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 Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser's obligations or covenants to Seller. 6.5.4 Other than Seller's Representations, Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Seller or any representative of Seller (including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the acquisition of the Property. 6.5.5 The Broker and its affiliates do not, and will not at the Closing, have any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser (or in an assignee of Purchaser, which pursuant to Section 13.3, acquires the Property at the Closing), nor has Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser granted (as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date) the Broker or any of its affiliates any right or option to acquire any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. ARTICLE 7 OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY 7.1 Leases and Property Contracts. During the period of time from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with its past practices at the Property, Seller may enter into new Property Contracts, new Leases, renew existing Leases or modify, terminate or accept the surrender or forfeiture of any of the Leases, modify any Property Contracts, or institute and prosecute any available remedies for default under any Lease or Property Contract without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, Seller agrees that as of the Effective Date hereof any such new or modified Property Contracts (a) shall not in the case of a new Property Contract have a term in excess of 1 year, and in the case of any modified Property Contract shall not be modified to extend the term thereof in excess of 1 year, (b) shall be executed in the ordinary course of Seller's business and in accordance with Seller's past practices at the Property and (c) in the case of new Property Contracts shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days or less notice without penalty or cost and in the case of any modified Property Contract shall not be modified to revise the termination provisions thereof without Purchaser's prior written consent; and provided further any new or renewed Leases shall not have a term in excess of 1 year (or such longer period of time for which such Leases are entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of its operation of the Property and in accordance with its past practices at the Property) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 7.2 General Operation of Property. Except as specifically set forth in this Article 7, Seller shall operate the Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in the Seller's sole discretion to address (a) any life or safety issue at the Property or (b) any other matter which in Seller's reasonable discretion materially adversely affecting the use, operation or value of the Property, Seller will not make any material alterations to the Property or remove any material Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed. Seller agrees to take reasonable efforts to maintain its existing insurance policies (or replacement policies on comparable terms) covering the Property in full force and effect until the Closing Date. 7.3 Liens. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Property is currently undergoing construction for the repair and renovation of the Property. Other than utility easements and temporary construction easements granted by Seller in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to any current ongoing construction, 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 as provided in Section 7.1) unless Purchaser approves such lien or encumbrance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall not grant any such utility easement(s) which materially interfere with the continued operations of the Property. If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder. ARTICLE 8 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING 8.1 Purchaser's Conditions to Closing. Purchaser's obligation to close under this Contract, shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following conditions precedent: 8.1.1 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; 8.1.2 Each of the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained herein shall be true in all material respects as of the Closing Date; 8.1.3 Seller shall have complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects each of the covenants, terms and conditions to be complied with, fulfilled or performed by Seller hereunder; 8.1.4 Neither Seller nor Seller's general partner shall be a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding nor shall have been in the last 6 months a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding; and 8.1.5 Title Insurer is willing to issue at Closing a Title Policy insuring Purchaser's fee simple title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

Broker shall execute the signature page for Broker attached hereto solely for purposes of confirming the matters set forth therein; provided, however, that (a) Broker's signature hereon shall not be a prerequisite to the binding nature of this Contract on Purchaser and Seller, and the same shall become fully effective upon execution by Purchaser and Seller, and (b) the signature of Broker will not be necessary to amend any provision of this Contract. ARTICLE 10 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 10.1 Purchaser Default. If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Deposit, (b) deliver to the Seller the deliveries specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price at the time required by Section 2.2.4 and close on the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date, then, immediately and without notice or cure, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property. If, Purchaser defaults in any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract, and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice is delivered to Purchaser from Seller, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property. The Deposit is liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser's indemnity obligations hereunder, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property or breach of a representation or warranty. Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. 10.2 Seller Default. If Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Contract, including to sell the Property as required by this Contract and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice is delivered from Purchaser to Seller, then, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, either (A) this Contract shall terminate, and all payments and things of value, including the Deposit, provided by Purchaser hereunder shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit) and Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit), its direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with this transaction, which damages shall not exceed $20,000 in aggregate, or (B) Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller's obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages). Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence. SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER, OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY. ARTICLE 11 RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY 11.1 Major Damage. In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, and the cost of repair is more than $300,000, then Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction and shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the "Damage Notice"). Within 10 days after Purchaser's receipt of the Damage Notice, Purchaser may elect at its option to terminate this Contract by delivering written notice to Seller. In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within the foregoing 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price notwithstanding any such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto (plus a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith) at Closing. 11.2 Minor Damage. In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty 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 Contract, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, Seller shall make such repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on the Property if they can be reasonably effected before the Closing. Subject to Section 11.3, if Seller is unable to effect such repairs, then Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto (plus a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith) at Closing. 11.3 Repairs. To the extent that Seller elects to commence any repair, replacement or restoration of the Property prior to Closing, Seller shall conduct such repair, replacement or restoration in a manner consistent with Lender's past practices, and Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such repair, replacement or restoration completed or installed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such repair, replacement or restoration after Closing from the balance of any available insurance proceeds. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. ARTICLE 12 EMINENT DOMAIN 12.1 Eminent Domain. In the event that, at any time prior to Closing, any material part of the Property is (or previously has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (or in the event that there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Seller shall promptly (but in any event prior to the Closing Date) notify Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's option, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within 10 days after Purchaser's receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event, and if Purchaser so terminates this Contract Purchaser shall recover the Deposit hereunder (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit). If Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within such 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price and Purchaser shall receive the full benefit of any condemnation award. It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that this section shall in no way apply to customary dedications for public purposes which may be necessary for the development of the Property. ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS 13.1 Binding Effect of Contract. This Contract shall not be binding on either party until executed by both Purchaser and Seller.

As used in this Contract, the term "Purchaser" means all entities acquiring any interest in the Property at the Closing, including, without limitation, any assignee(s) of the original Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.3 of this Contract. In the event that "Purchaser" has any obligations or makes any covenants, representations or warranties under this Agreement, the same shall be made jointly and severally by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that Seller receives notice from any entity being a Purchaser hereunder, the same shall be deemed to constitute notice from all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that any entity being a Purchaser hereunder takes any action, breaches any obligation or otherwise acts pursuant to the terms of this Contract, the same shall be deemed to be the action of the other entity(ies) being a Purchaser hereunder and the action of "Purchaser" under this Contract. In the event that Seller is required to give notice or take action with respect to Purchaser under this Contract, notice in compliance with Section 13.7 to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder or action with respect to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder shall be a notice or action to all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that any entity being a Purchaser hereunder desires to bring an action or arbitration against Seller, such action must be joined by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder in order to be effective. In the event that there is any agreement by Seller to pay any amount pursuant to this Contract to Purchaser under any circumstance, that amount shall be deemed maximum aggregate amount to be paid to all parties being a Purchaser hereunder and not an amount that can be paid to each party being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that Seller is required to return the Deposit or other amounts to Purchaser, Seller shall return the same to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder and, upon such return, shall have no further liability to any other entity being a Purchaser hereunder for such amount. The foregoing provisions also shall apply to any documents, including, without limitation, the General Assignment and Assumption and the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Security Deposits, executed in connection with this Contract and the transaction(s) contemplated hereby. ARTICLE 14 LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE 14.1 Disclosure. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge delivery of the Lead Based Paint Disclosure attached as Exhibit G hereto. The provisions of this Section 14.1 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. 14.2 Consent Contract. Testing (the "Testing"") has been performed at the Property with respect to lead-based paint. Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. performed the Testing and reported its findings in the Report of Findings dated May 14, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H (the "Report"). The Report certifies the Property as lead based paint free. By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Report, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Statement attached hereto as Exhibit G, and acknowledges receipt of that certain Consent Contract (the "Consent Contract") by and among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (executed December 19, 2001), the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (executed January 2, 2002), and Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO") (executed December 18, 2001). Because the Property has been certified as lead based paint free, Seller is not required under the Consent Contract to remediate or abate any lead-based paint condition at the Property prior to the Closing. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, the Purchaser and the Property shall be subject to the Consent Contract and the provisions contained herein related thereto and (2) that Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Contract.
