2.2.1Within 2 Business Days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Stewart Title Guaranty, c/o Wendy Howell, 1980 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 610, Houston, Texas 77056, Telephone: (713) 625-8161, Facsimile: (713) 552-1703, Email: whowell@stewart.com (“Escrow Agent” or “Title Insurer”) an initial deposit (the “Initial Deposit”) of $100,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds (“Good Funds”).

2.3.4The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, and that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith in willful disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence.  Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

Article III
FEASIBILITY PERIOD

3.1Feasibility Period.  Subject to the terms of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 and the rights of Tenants under the Leases, from the Effective Date to and including the date which is 45 days after the Effective Date (the “Feasibility Period”), Purchaser, and its agents, contractors, engineers, surveyors, attorneys, and employees (collectively, “Consultants”) shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, have the right from time to time to enter onto the Property to conduct and make any and all customary studies, tests, examinations, inquiries, inspections and investigations of or concerning the Property, review the Materials and otherwise confirm any and all matters which Purchaser may reasonably desire to confirm with respect to the Property and Purchaser’s intended use thereof (collectively, the “Inspections”).

3.2Expiration of Feasibility Period.  If any of the matters in Section 3.1 or any other title or survey matters are unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract by giving written notice to that effect to Seller and Escrow Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. on or before the date of expiration of the Feasibility Period.  If Purchaser provides such notice, this Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect subject to and except for the Survival Provisions, and Escrow Agent shall return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser.  If Purchaser fails to provide Seller with written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser’s right to terminate under this Section 3.2 shall be permanently waived and this Contract shall remain in full force and effect, the Deposit shall be non-refundable, and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property shall be conditional only as provided in Section 8.1.

3.3Conduct of Investigation.  Purchaser shall not permit any mechanics’ 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 Inspections conducted by or for Purchaser.  Purchaser shall give reasonable advanced notice to Seller prior to any entry onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all Inspections conducted at the Property.  Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the Inspections, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons, property or the environment.

3.4.2Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on the Property without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.  Further, Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of the Property), investigations and other matters that in Seller’s reasonable judgment could result in any injury to the Property or breach of any contract, or expose Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect the Property or Seller’s interest therein.  Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ activities pursuant to this Section.  No consent by 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, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the Property to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article III.  Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and commercial general liability insurance 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 $1,000,000.00 with respect to property damage, and (b) worker’s compensation insurance for all of their respective employees in accordance with the law of the state in which the Property is located.  Purchaser shall deliver proof of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 to Seller (in the form of a certificate of insurance) prior to the earlier to occur of (i) to Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Consultants’ entry onto the Property or (ii) the expiration of 5 days after the Effective Date.

3.5Property Materials.

3.5.2In providing the Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller’s Representations, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed.  All Materials are provided for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to Seller (or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Seller) if this Contract is terminated for any reason.  Recognizing that the Materials delivered or made available by Seller pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily and reasonably available to Seller, Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the completeness or accuracy of the Materials and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own Inspections, and Consultants with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Property.

3.5.4In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 3.5, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided under Section 3.5.1) a list of all current Property Contracts (the “Property Contracts List”).  Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the Property Contracts List other than the express representations set forth in Section 6.1.6.

Article IV

4.4.6The terms and conditions of this Contract.

4.5Assumed Encumbrances.

4.5.1Purchaser recognizes and agrees that, in connection with a loan (the “Loan”) made to Seller by or currently held by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (the “Lender”), the Property presently is encumbered by a multifamily mortgage/deed of trust dated March 11, 2009 and recorded March 13, 2009 (the “Assumed Deed of Trust”) and certain other security and related documents in connection with the Loan (collectively, the “Assumed Encumbrances”).  The Loan is evidenced by that certain promissory note dated March 11, 2009 in the stated principal amount of $8,850,000 (the “Note,” and together with the Assumed Deed of Trust, the Assumed Encumbrances and any other documents executed by Seller in connection with the Loan or otherwise listed under the heading “Loan Documents” on Schedule 3.5 hereto, the “Assumed Loan Documents”), executed by Seller and payable to the order of the Lender.  Within 5 days after the Effective Date, Seller agrees that it will make available to Purchaser (in the same manner in which Seller is permitted to make the Materials available to Purchaser under Section 3.5.1) copies of the Assumed Loan Documents as well as the contact information for the servicer, if any, of the Loan and the Lender, in each case to the extent in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2).

4.5.2Purchaser agrees that, at the Closing, (a) Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations under the Note and all of the other Assumed Loan Documents and accept title to the Property subject to the Deed of Trust and the Assumed Encumbrances, and (b) the Lender shall release Seller, as well as any guarantors and other obligated parties under the Assumed Loan Documents, from all obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents (and any related guarantees or letters of credit), including, without limitation, any obligation to make payments of principal and interest under the Note upon terms that such releases are commonly provided by Lender in connection with assumptions of debt Lender holds or as otherwise provided for in the Assumed Loan Documents (collectively, the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “Loan Assumption and Release”).  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (x) certain of the provisions of the Assumed Loan Documents may have been negotiated for the exclusive benefit of Seller, AIMCO or their respective affiliates (the “Specific AIMCO Provisions”), and (y) unless Lender otherwise agrees in Lender’s sole and arbitrary discretion, Purchaser will not be permitted to assume the benefit of the Specific AIMCO Provisions and the same shall be of no further force or effect from and after the Closing Date.

4.5.3Purchaser further acknowledges that the Assumed Loan Documents require the satisfaction by Purchaser of certain requirements as set forth therein to allow for the Loan Assumption and Release.  Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense will use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the requirements set forth in the Assumed Loan Documents to allow for the Loan Assumption and Release, including, without limitation, submitting a complete application to Lender for assumption of the Loan together with all documents and information required in connection therewith (the “Loan Assumption Application”).  Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with a copy of the Loan Assumption Application (exclusive of any financial information relating to any individual), concurrently with its submission to Lender.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is solely responsible for the preparation and submittal of the Loan Assumption Application, including the collection of all materials, documents, certificates, financials, signatures, and other items required to be submitted to Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption Application. 

4.5.4Purchaser shall comply with Lender’s assumption guidelines in connection with the Loan Assumption and Release.  Purchaser shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for promptly correcting and re-submitting any deficiencies noted by Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption Application.  Purchaser also shall provide Seller with a copy of any correspondence from Lender with respect to the Loan Assumption Application promptly after receipt of such correspondence from Lender.  Purchaser acknowledges that Lender’s assumption guidelines may not be consistent with the provisions of the Assumed Loan Documents concerning the Loan Assumption and Release.  Purchaser shall coordinate with the Lender to comply with the appropriate provisions of both the Assumed Loan Documents and Lender assumption guidelines in order to allow for the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.5.5Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, all servicing fees and charges, transfer fees, assumption fees, title fees, endorsement fees, and other fees to release Seller of all liability under the Loan) imposed or charged by the Lender or its counsel (such fees and expenses collectively being referred to as the “Lender Fees”), in connection with the Loan Assumption Application and the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.5.6Additionally, Purchaser shall be responsible for (a) replacing (and increasing to the extent required by Lender) all reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be maintained in connection with the Loan, and (b) funding any additional reserves, impounds or accounts required by Lender to be maintained by Purchaser in connection with the Loan after the Loan Assumption and Release (the foregoing amounts in (a) and (b) collectively referred to herein as the “Required Loan Fund Amounts”).  Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be replaced by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at the Closing. 

4.5.7Purchaser agrees promptly to deliver to the Lender all documents and information required by the Assumed Loan Documents, and such other information or documentation as the Lender reasonably may request, including, without limitation, financial statements, income tax returns and other financial information for Purchaser and any required guarantor.  Seller agrees that it will cooperate with Purchaser and Lender, at no cost or expense to Seller, in connection with Purchaser’s application to Lender for approval of the Loan Assumption and Release. 

4.5.8Purchaser shall order a Phase I Environmental study (prepared by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller and Lender), and covenants that such Phase I Environmental study shall be delivered to Seller and Lender no later than 10 days prior to the Closing Date in connection with and as a precondition to the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.5.9Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.5, Purchaser shall have until the date that is 45 days after the Effective Date (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Approval Deadline” and the period from the Effective Date of this Agreement until and including the Loan Approval Deadline being hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Approval Period”) to obtain Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption and Release, each upon terms and conditions substantially similar to those currently in the Assumed Loan Documents and/or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption and Release as soon as possible.  Provided Purchaser is not in default under the terms of this Contract and Purchaser has not yet obtained Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption and Release as provided above, Purchaser shall be permitted to extend the Loan Approval Deadline two times for up to an additional 15 days each time by delivering no later than the then scheduled Loan Approval Deadline (i) to Escrow Agent, an additional deposit in the amount of $25,000.00 (with respect to each such extension), which such amount or amounts, as the case may be, shall constitute part of the “Deposit” for all purposes of this Contract; and (ii) to Seller, written notice of such election.  Provided that Purchaser acts in good faith and uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release, on or prior to the expiration of the Loan Approval Deadline, Purchaser may, by delivery of written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent that Purchaser has not obtained the consent of the Lender to the Loan Assumption and Release, terminate this Contract in which event this Contract shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to the Survival Provisions and Escrow Agent shall forthwith return the Deposit to Purchaser.  If Purchaser fails to deliver on or before the Loan Approval Deadline such notice, Purchaser’s right to terminate under this Section 4.5.9 shall be permanently waived, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and the Deposit shall be non-refundable except as otherwise expressly provided in this Contract. 

Anything contained in this Section 4.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller on or before 15 days after the Effective Date evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Purchaser has (i) submitted the completed Loan Assumption Application to Lender, and (ii) ordered the Phase I environmental study described in Section 4.5.8, Seller may at any time prior to Purchaser’s delivery of such evidence, by written notice delivered to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, terminate this Contract, in which event this Contract shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to the Survival Provisions and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser.

4.6Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions.  If at any time after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, any update to the Title Commitment discloses any additional item that materially adversely affects title to the Property which was not disclosed on (i) any version of or update to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser during the Feasibility Period or (ii) provided that Purchaser obtained an updated survey prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, such updated survey (the “New Exception”), Purchaser shall have a period of 5 business days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “New Exception Review Period”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception.  If Purchaser disapproves of the New Exception, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser as to whether it is willing to cure the New Exception.  If Seller elects to cure the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the New Exception.  If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Purchaser within 3 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception.  If Purchaser is dissatisfied with Seller’s response, or lack thereof, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect either:  (i) to terminate this Contract, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser or (ii) to waive the New Exception and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception.  If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Contract in accordance with the foregoing sentence within 6 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception.

4.7Purchaser Financing.  Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser’s acquisition of such funds (other than the Assumed Loan, if assumed) shall not be a contingency to the Closing.  Purchaser may elect, by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Business Day immediately following the expiration of the Feasibility Period, to require Seller to prepay the Loan at Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment at Closing of any prepayment penalties or other costs (other than the repayment of principal and accrued, but unpaid interest) required in connection with such prepayment.

Article V
CLOSING

5.1Closing Date.  The Closing shall occur on the date which is the later of (i) 30 days after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, and (ii) 15 days after the Loan Approval Deadline (as the same may be extended) at the time set forth in Section 2.2.4, (herein as the “Closing Date”) through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have the option, by delivering written notice to Purchaser, to extend the Closing Date to the last Business Day of the month in which the Closing Date otherwise would occur pursuant to the preceding sentence, in order to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release.  Further, the Closing Date may be extended without penalty on the mutual consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Purchaser and Seller to a date not later than forty five (45) 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) in order to finalize the drafting with Lender and Lender’s counsel of all documents necessary or desirable to accomplish the Loan Assumption and Release.

5.4Closing Prorations and Adjustments. 

5.4.1General.  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 the 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 and deliver it to Purchaser not less than 3 days prior to Closing.

5.4.2Operating Expenses.  All of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, including without limitation, laundry bonus money, remodeling allowances or other upfront payments relating to a laundry lease, cable television bonus money, door fees or other upfront payments relating to a cable television contract, 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 the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing Date.

5.4.3Utilities.  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.  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.

5.4.4Real Estate Taxes.  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 (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, 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 105% of the figures from the preceding year (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount).  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing.

5.4.5Property Contracts.  Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, operating expenses shall be prorated under Section 5.4.2.

5.4.6Leases. 

5.4.6.1All 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.  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 such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s obligation to collect Uncollected Rents shall be limited to Uncollected Rents of not more than 90 days past due, and Purchaser’s collection of rents shall be applied, first, towards current rent due and owing under the Leases, and second, to Uncollected Rents.  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; provided however, that the foregoing right of Seller shall be limited to actions seeking monetary damages and, in no event, shall Seller seek to evict any Tenants in any action to collect Uncollected Rents.  Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents; 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.

5.4.6.2At 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, pet or other refundable deposits 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 constitutes 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.

5.4.7Existing Loan.  Seller shall be responsible for all principal required to be paid under the terms of the Note prior to Closing, together with all interest accrued under the Note prior to Closing, all of which may be a credit against the Purchase Price as provided in Section 2.2.3.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all Lender Fees and all other fees, penalties, interest and other amounts due and owing under the Assumed Loan Documents as a result of the Loan Assumption and Release.  As set forth in Section 4.5.3, any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Loan and required to be replaced by Purchaser, shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at Closing. 

5.4.8Insurance.  No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.  Seller shall have the risk of loss of the Property until 11:59 p.m. the day prior to the Closing Date, after which time the risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining its own insurance thereafter.

5.4.9Employees.  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.

5.4.10Closing Costs.  Purchaser shall pay 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 escrow fees and customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.  Seller shall pay any transfer, mortgage assumption, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property, the base premium for the Title Policy to the extent required by Section 4.1, and one-half of the escrow fees and customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.

5.4.11Intentionally Omitted. 

5.4.12Possession.  Possession of the Property, subject to the Leases, Property Contracts, other than Terminated 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.  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) (collectively, “Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records”) regarding the Property shall be made available to Purchaser at the Property after the Closing.  Prior to Closing, Seller shall be entitled to copy any of Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records, and, following Closing, shall be entitled to retain such copies for Seller’s own use.  With respect to any of Seller’s Related Files that are not copied pursuant to the foregoing sentence, if during the 1 year period following the Closing Date Purchaser desires to dispose of Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser will first provide Seller prior written notice (the “Records Disposal Notice”).  Purchaser agrees to provide and allow Seller reasonable access to Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records during such 1 year period for purposes of inspection and copying thereof, and reasonably maintain and preserve Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records.  Seller shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the Property (or such other location where such records are then stored) and remove or copy those of Seller’s Property-Related Files and Records that Seller desires to retain.

5.5Post Closing Adjustments.  Purchaser or Seller may request that Purchaser and Seller undertake to re-adjust any item on the Proration Schedule (or any item omitted therefrom), with the exception of real property taxes which shall be final and not subject to readjustment, 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, unless such items exceed $5,000.00 in magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate).

6.2AS-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, but 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).  Except for liabilities arising from a breach of a Seller Representation, 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.  Except for liabilities arising from a breach of a Seller Representation, 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, water intrusion and/or fungal growth and any resulting damage, 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 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; provided, Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser does not have the authority to release claims  held by third parties (as opposed to Purchaser) against Seller, if any.

6.4Definition 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 Regional Property Manager and Property Manager and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager any individual personal liability.  As used herein, the term “Regional Property Manager” shall refer to Dawn Bailey who is the regional property manager handling this Property and the term “Property Manager” shall refer to Elizabeth Swaringen who is the property manager handling this Property, Seller represents and warrants that the Regional Property Manager and the Property Manager have duties and responsibilities with respect to the Property that put them in a position to have current knowledge regarding the issues addressed in Sections 6.1.3 through 6.1.15. 

6.5Representations 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:

6.5.1Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Georgia.

6.5.3No 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.

6.5.4Other 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.

6.5.5The 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.

6.5.6Purchaser is not a Prohibited Person.

6.5.7To Purchaser’s knowledge, none of its investors, affiliates or brokers or other agents (if any), acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Contract is a Prohibited Person.

7.2General Operation of Property.  Except as specifically set forth in this  Article VII, Seller shall operate the Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in 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 affects 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.

7.3Liens.  Other than utility easements and temporary construction easements granted by Seller in the ordinary course of business, 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, conditioned or delayed.  If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder.

Article VIII

8.1.2Each of Seller’s Representations shall be true in all material respects as of the Closing Date;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to Close except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.1.  If any condition set forth in Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 is not met, Purchaser may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date with no offset or deduction from the Purchase Price, or (b) if such failure constitutes a default by Seller, exercise any of its remedies pursuant to Section 10.2 or (c) terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent.  If the condition set forth in Section 8.1.2 is not met, Seller shall not be in default pursuant to Section 10.2 unless the applicable warranty was untrue when originally made or became untrue as a result of Seller’s deliberate act, and Purchaser may, absent such default, as its sole and exclusive remedy, (i) notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent, or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date with no offset or deduction from the Purchase Price.

8.2.5There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation affecting Purchaser which, if determined adversely, would adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to consummate the purchase of the Property on the terms and conditions of this Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser; and

8.2.6The Loan Assumption and Release shall have occurred.

If any of the foregoing conditions to Seller’s obligation to close with respect to conveyance of the Property under this Contract are not met, Seller may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date, or (b) terminate this Contract, and if such failure constitutes a default by Purchaser, exercise any of its remedies under Section 10.1.

Article IX
BROKERAGE

9.1Indemnity.  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with Cushman & Wakefield of Georgia, Inc., 1201 W. Peachtree, Suite 3300, Atlanta, Georgia 30309 (“Broker”) in connection with this 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 Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of the indemnitee, defend (with counsel approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against all Losses relating to brokerage commissions and finder’s fees arising from or attributable to the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party.

Article X
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

10.1Purchaser Default.  If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Additional Deposit (or any other deposit or payment required of Purchaser hereunder), (b) deliver the deliveries specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder and close on the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date, 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 the right to receive notice or to cure pursuant to Section 2.2.3, 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 affects Purchaser’s ability to consummate this transaction and continues for more than 10 days after written notice 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 and confidentiality 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 AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

10.2Seller Default.  If Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its 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 from Purchaser, 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 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 $200,000.00 in aggregate, or (b) subject to the conditions below, Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages).  Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser first shall (i) not otherwise be in default under this Contract; and (ii) file suit therefor with the court on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date; if Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance within 90 days after the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Contract in accordance with subsection (a) above.  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 to the extent 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 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 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 AND IS DILIGENTLY PURSUING AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.

Article XI
RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

11.1Major Damage.  In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, and the cost for demolition, site cleaning, restoration, replacement, or other repairs (collectively, the “Repairs”), is more than $1,300,000.00, then Seller shall have no obligation to make such Repairs, and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the “Damage Notice”).  Within 10 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Notice and, as and when Seller has such information, evidence of the amount of insurance that will be available to make Repairs under Seller’s insurance policies, Purchaser may elect at its option to terminate this Contract by delivering written notice to Seller in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser.  In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within the foregoing 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3 below.

11.2Minor Damage.  In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, and the cost of Repairs is equal to or less than $1,300,000.00, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3, notwithstanding such casualty.  In such event, Seller may at its election endeavor to make such Repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on the Property, if such Repairs can be reasonably effected before the Closing.  Regardless of Seller’s election to commence such Repairs, or Seller’s ability to complete such Repairs prior to Closing, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 11.3 below.

11.3Closing.  In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract following a casualty as set forth in Section 11.1, or in the event of a casualty as set forth in Section 11.2, then this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of the Contract, at Seller’s election, either (i) for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding any such casualty, in which case Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by Seller) of Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim, less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs (plus a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith and any shortfall in the amount of insurance proceeds compared to Seller’s estimate of costs necessary to complete the Repairs (to the extent such estimate is supported by reasonable scope and bids provided by potential reputable contractors or the Repair contracts, if any, being assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.4 below)); or (ii) for the full Purchase Price less a credit to Purchaser in the amount necessary to complete such Repairs (less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs).

11.4Repairs.  To the extent that Seller elects to commence any Repairs prior to Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such Repairs completed or installed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such Repairs after Closing.  To the extent that any Repairs have been commenced prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include, and Purchaser shall assume at Closing, all obligations under such construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such Repairs relating to all yet to be completed work under such contracts, provided, that, except for emergency repairs, Seller will first consult with Purchaser and provide Purchaser with reasonable evidence of Seller’s ability to pay the cost of such Repairs before entering into any such Repair contract although Seller retains the absolute right and authority to enter into any such Repair contract.

Article XII
EMINENT DOMAIN

12.1Eminent Domain.  In the event that, at the time of 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 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 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.  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.

Article XIII
MISCELLANEOUS

13.1Binding Effect of Contract.  This Contract shall not be binding on either party until executed by both Purchaser and Seller.  Neither the Escrow Agent’s nor the Broker’s execution of this Contract shall be a prerequisite to its effectiveness.  Subject to Section 13.3, this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13.7Governing Law and Venue.  The laws of the State of North Carolina shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Contract, unless otherwise specified herein except for the conflict of laws provisions thereof.  Subject to Section 13.24, all claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Contract, or the breach thereof, shall be decided by proceedings instituted and litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is situated, and the parties hereto expressly consent to the venue and jurisdiction of such court.

13.8Entire Agreement.  This Contract embodies the entire Contract between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior conversations, proposals, negotiations, understandings and contracts, whether written or oral.

13.9Amendments.  This Contract shall not be amended, altered, changed, modified, supplemented or rescinded in any manner except by a written contract executed by all of the parties; provided, however, that, (a) the signature of the Escrow Agent shall not be required as to any amendment of this Contract other than an amendment of Section 2.3, and (b) the signature of the Broker shall not be required as to any amendment of this Contract

13.10Severability.  In the event that any part of this Contract shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.  If such provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Contract and the remaining portions of this Contract shall be valid and enforceable.

13.11Multiple Counterparts/Facsimile Signatures.  This Contract may be executed in a number of identical counterparts.  This Contract may be executed by facsimile signatures or electronic delivery of signatures which shall be binding on the parties hereto, with original signatures to be delivered as soon as reasonably practical thereafter.

13.12Construction.  No provision of this Contract shall be construed in favor of, or against, any particular party by reason of any presumption with respect to the drafting of this Contract; both parties, being represented by counsel, having fully participated in the negotiation of this instrument.

13.13Confidentiality.  Purchaser shall not disclose the terms and conditions contained in this Contract and shall keep the same confidential, provided that Purchaser may disclose the terms and conditions of this Contract (a) as required by law, (b) to consummate the terms of this Contract, or any financing relating thereto, or (c) to Purchaser’s or Seller’s lenders, partners, potential investors, attorneys and accountants.  Any information obtained by Purchaser in the course of its inspection of the Property, and any Materials provided by Seller to Purchaser hereunder, shall be confidential and Purchaser shall be prohibited from making such information public to any other person or entity other than its Consultants, without Seller’s prior written authorization, which may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole discretion.  In addition, Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent its Consultants from divulging any such confidential 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 Contract.  Unless and until the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall not market the Property (or any portion thereof) to any prospective purchaser or lessee until all rights of Purchaser to terminate this Contract (other than by reason of a Seller default) have been waived by Purchaser or have expired, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.8 Purchaser agrees that the covenants, restrictions and agreements of Purchaser contained in any confidentiality agreement executed by Purchaser prior to the Effective Date shall survive the execution of this Contract and shall not be superseded hereby.

13.14Time of the Essence.  It is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that time is of the essence with respect to this Contract and any aspect thereof.

13.15Waiver.  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission, or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  No waiver, amendment, release, or modification of this Contract shall be established by conduct, custom, or course of dealing and all waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.

13.16Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event either party hereto commences litigation or arbitration against the other to enforce its rights hereunder, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incidental to such litigation and arbitration, including the cost of in-house counsel and any appeals.

13.17Time Zone/Time Periods.  Any reference in this Contract to a specific time shall refer to the time in the time zone where the Property is located.  (For example, a reference to 3:00 p.m. refers to 3:00 p.m. MST if the Property is located in Denver, Colorado.)  Should the last day of a time period fall on a weekend or legal holiday, the next Business Day thereafter shall be considered the end of the time period.

13.18Intentionally Omitted. 

13.19No Personal Liability of Officers, Trustees or Directors of Seller’s Partners.  Purchaser acknowledges that this Contract is entered into by Seller which is a California limited partnership, and Purchaser agrees that none of Seller’s Indemnified Parties shall have any personal liability under this Contract or any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract.

13.20No Exclusive Negotiations.  Seller shall have the right, at all times prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, to solicit backup offers and enter into discussions, negotiations, or any other communications concerning or related to the sale of the Property with any third-party; provided, however, that such communications are subject to the terms of this Contract, and that Seller shall not enter into any binding contract with a third-party for the sale of the Property unless such contract is contingent on the termination of this Contract without the Property having been conveyed to Purchaser.

13.21ADA Disclosure.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) and the federal Fair Housing Act (the “FHA”).  The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of “public accommodations” remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons.  Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Property’s compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such representations.

13.22No Recording.  Purchaser shall not cause or allow this Contract or any contract or other document related hereto, nor any memorandum or other evidence hereof, to be recorded or become a public record without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Seller’s sole discretion.  If Purchaser records this Contract or any other memorandum or evidence thereof, Purchaser shall be in default of its obligations under this Contract.  Purchaser hereby appoints Seller as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact to prepare and record any documents necessary to effect the nullification and release of the Contract or other memorandum or evidence thereof from the public records.  This appointment shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

13.23Relationship of Parties.  Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the relationship established between the parties pursuant to this Contract is only that of a seller and a purchaser of property.  Neither Purchaser nor Seller is, nor shall either hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.

13.24Dispute Resolution.  Any controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Contract (and any closing document executed in connection herewith), including any claim based on contract, tort or statute, shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Contract by binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Any matter to be settled by arbitration shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association in the state in which the Property is located. The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association.  If they are unable to do so within 30 days after written demand therefor, then the American Arbitration Association shall designate an arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 13.24 shall not prevent Purchaser or Seller from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in which the Property is located (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Contract or to prevent irreparable harm and injury.  The court’s jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Contract between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 13.24. 

13.25AIMCO Marks.  Purchaser agrees that Seller, the Property Manager or AIMCO, or their respective affiliates, are the sole owners of all right, title and interest in and to the AIMCO Marks (or have the right to use such AIMCO Marks pursuant to license agreements with third parties) and that no right, title or interest in or to the AIMCO Marks is granted, transferred, assigned or conveyed as a result of this Contract.  Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will not use the AIMCO Marks for any purpose.

13.26Non-Solicitation of Employees.  Prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, without the express written consent of Seller, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s employees, affiliates or agents shall solicit any of Seller’s employees or any employees located at the Property (or any of Seller’s affiliates’ employees located at any property owned by such affiliates) for potential employment.

13.27Survival.  Except for (a) all of the provisions of this Article XIII (other than Section 13.20); (b) Sections 2.3, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.5.5, 4.5.6, 5.4, 5.5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 9.1, 10.2, 11.4, 14.1, and 14.2; (c) any other provisions in this Contract, that by their express terms survive the termination or Closing; and (d) any payment obligation of Purchaser under this Contract (the foregoing (a), (b), (c) and (d) referred to herein as the “Survival Provisions”), none of the terms and provisions of this Contract shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if the Contract is not so terminated, all of the terms and provisions of this Contract (other than the Survival Provisions, which shall survive the Closing) shall be merged into the Closing documents and shall not survive Closing.

13.28Multiple Purchasers.  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 Contract, the same shall be made jointly and severally by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder.
