Shelter Properties VI Limited Partnership (the "Registrant"), a South Carolina limited partnership, owns Rocky Creek Apartments ("Rocky Creek"), a 120-unit apartment complex located in Augusta, Georgia. On October 20, 2005, the Registrant and two other partnerships that own apartment complexes containing an aggregate of 468 units (together with the Registrant, the "Selling Partnerships"), entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the "Purchase Agreement") with a third party, Chartwell Augusta, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), to sell the three apartment complexes owned by the Selling Partnerships to the Purchaser for a total sales price of $22,900,000, of which $4,450,000 is allocated to Rocky Creek. Each of the Selling Partnerships is affiliated with AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the corporate general partner of the Registrant. The following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit. PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price is $22,900,000, of which $4,450,000 is allocated to Rocky Creek, subject to certain prorations and adjustments at the closing. The Purchaser delivered an initial deposit of $200,000, of which the Registrant is allocated approximately $39,000. Upon termination of the feasibility period, the Purchaser will deliver an additional deposit of $150,000, of which the Registrant will be allocated approximately $29,000. If the Purchaser fails to notify the Selling Partnerships in writing of its intent to terminate the contract prior to the end of the feasibility period, the two deposits will become non-refundable. CLOSING. The expected closing date of the transaction is January 31, 2006. The Selling Partnerships have the right to extend the closing for up to thirty days by delivering written notice to the Purchaser. The closing is also subject to customary closing conditions and deliveries. COSTS AND FEES. The Purchaser will pay transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, recording costs, any premiums or fees required to be paid with respect to the title policy and one half of the customary closing costs of the escrow agent. The Selling Partnerships will pay one-half of the customary closing costs of the escrow agent. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Selling Partnerships and the Purchaser each made limited representations and warranties to the other. RISK OF LOSS. The risk of loss or damage to the three apartment complexes by reason of any insured or uninsured casualty during the period through and including the closing date will be borne by the Selling Partnerships. The Selling Partnerships must maintain all of their existing insurance coverage on the three apartment complexes in full force and effect until the closing date. ASSIGNMENT. With the exception of an assignment to an affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchase Agreement is not assignable by the Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of the Selling Partnerships. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If the Purchaser defaults in its obligations to deliver when required any required deposits, the purchase price or any other specified deliveries, then the Purchaser will forfeit its deposits to the Selling Partnerships, and neither party will be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the three apartment complexes. If the Selling Partnerships, prior to the closing, default in their representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations, the Purchaser has the option of (i) seeking specific performance of the Partnerships' obligation to deliver the deed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (ii) terminating the Purchase Agreement, receiving a return of its deposits, and recovering, as its sole recoverable damages its documented direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs up to $25,000 per apartment complex.

Further, Escrow Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser, Sellers, and their respective attorneys and brokers harmless from and against any Losses resulting from Escrow Agent's failure to file the reports Escrow Agent is required to file pursuant to this section. 2.3.7 The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated, the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser. ARTICLE III FEASIBILITY PERIOD 3.1 Feasibility Period. Subject to the terms of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 and the right of Tenants under the Leases, from the Effective Date to and including December 19, 2005 (the "Feasibility Period"), Purchaser, and its agents, contractors, engineers, surveyors, attorneys, and employees (collectively, "Consultants") shall have the right from time to time to enter onto the Properties: 3.1.1 To conduct and make any and all customary studies, tests, examinations, inquiries, and inspections, or investigations (collectively, the "Inspections") of or concerning the Properties (including, without limitation, engineering and feasibility studies, evaluation of drainage and flood plain, soil tests for bearing capacity and percolation and surveys, including topographical surveys); 3.1.2 To confirm any and all matters which Purchaser may reasonably desire to confirm with respect to the Properties; 3.1.3 To ascertain and confirm the suitability of the property for Purchaser's intended use of the Properties; and 3.1.4 To review the Materials at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. 3.2 Expiration of Feasibility Period. If the results of any of the matters referred to in Section 3.1 appear unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any reason or if Purchaser elects not to proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Contract for any other reason, or for no reason whatsoever, in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract in its entirety with respect to all Properties (but not in part with respect to less than all Properties) by giving written notice to that effect to Seller's Representative and Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. (in the time zone in which the Escrow Agent is located) on the date of expiration of the Feasibility Period. If Purchaser exercises such right to terminate, this Contract shall terminate and be of no further force and effect subject to and except for the Survival Provisions, and Escrow Agent shall forthwith return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Initial Deposit). If Purchaser fails to provide Seller's Representative with written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period in strict accordance with the notice provisions of this Contract, 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 (including both the Initial Deposit and, when delivered in accordance with Section 2.2.2, the Additional Deposit) shall be non-refundable, and Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Properties shall be non-contingent and unconditional except only for satisfaction of the conditions expressly stated in Section 8.1. 3.3 Conduct of Investigation. Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialmen's liens or any other liens to attach to any 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 notice to the applicable Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto its Property and shall permit such Seller to have a representative present during all Inspections conducted at its Property. Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of each Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto each Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to such Property or other property of any Seller or other persons. All information made available by any of the Sellers to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its Inspections shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Properties by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its Consultants from divulging such information to any unrelated third parties except as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated shall survive (except for the confidentiality provisions of this Section 3.3) the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser. 3.4 Purchaser Indemnification. 3.4.1 Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by a Seller (in such Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such Seller) such Seller, together with such Seller's affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives, agents, Property Manager, Regional Property Manager, and AIMCO (collectively, including such Seller, "Seller's Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all damages, mechanics' liens, liabilities, penalties, interest, losses, demands, actions, causes of action, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, including the cost of in-house counsel and appeals) (collectively, "Losses") arising from or related to Purchaser's or its Consultants' entry onto such Seller's Property, and any Inspections or other matters performed by Purchaser with respect to such Property during the Feasibility Period or otherwise. 3.4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on any Property without Seller's Representative's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller's Representative's sole discretion. Purchaser and Sellers agree that an industry standard Phase I environmental study shall not be considered "invasive testing" for purposes of this Section 3.4.2. Further, Seller's Representative shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of its Property), investigations and other matters that in such Seller's Representative's reasonable judgment could result in any injury to its Property or breach of any contract, or expose the applicable Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect such Property or such Seller's interest therein. Purchaser shall use best efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser's or its Consultants' activities pursuant to this Section. No consent by Seller' Representative to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the applicable Seller or assumption of liability or risk by such Seller. Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, each Property to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser's exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article 3. Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and comprehensive public 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(s) in which the Properties are located. Purchaser shall deliver proof of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 to Sellers (in the form of a certificate of insurance) prior to the earlier to occur of (i) Purchaser's or Purchaser's Consultants' entry onto any of the Properties, or (ii) the expiration of 5 days after the Effective Date. 3.4.3 The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated, the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser. 3.5 Property Materials. 3.5.1 Within 10 days after the Effective Date, and to the extent the same exist and are in a Seller's possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2), each Seller agrees to make the documents set forth on Schedule 3.5 (the "Materials") relating to its Property available at its Property for review and copying by Purchaser at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. In the alternative, at a Seller's option and within the foregoing 10-day period, such Seller may deliver some or all of its Materials to Purchaser, or make the same available to Purchaser on a secure web site (Purchaser agrees that any item to be delivered by a Seller under this Contract shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Purchaser on such secured web site). In addition, within 3 Business Days after the Effective Date, the Springhouse Seller shall provide Purchaser with the name of such Seller's third-party adjuster and, to the extent in such Seller's possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2), any reports, documents or assessments of such adjuster in connection with such Seller's assignment of the insurance claims relating to the Springhouse Casualty. To the extent that Purchaser determines that any of the Materials have not been made available or delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.5.1, Purchaser shall notify the applicable Seller and such Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the same to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after such notification is received by such Seller; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the Feasibility Period be extended and Buyer's sole remedy will be to terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 3.2. 3.5.2 In providing such information and Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller's Representations, each Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed. Any information and Materials provided by any of the Sellers to Purchaser under the terms of this Contract is for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to all applicable Sellers as a condition to return of the Deposit to Purchaser (if Purchaser is otherwise entitled to such Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Contract) if this Contract is terminated for any reason. Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such information and Materials. Purchaser recognizes and agrees that the Materials and other documents and information delivered or made available by Sellers pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in a Seller's possession or control, but are those that are readily available to such Seller after reasonable inquiry to ascertain their availability. Purchaser understands that, although each Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and make available the Materials and other documents required to be delivered or made available by it pursuant to this Contract, Purchaser will not rely on such Materials or other documents as being a complete and accurate source of information with respect to such Seller's Property, 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 Properties. 3.5.3 In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 3.5, no later than 7 Business Days after the Effective Date, each Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided under Section 3.5.1) a rent roll for such Seller's Property listing the move-in date, monthly base rent payable, lease expiration date and unapplied security deposit for each Lease for such Property (the "Rent Roll"). Each Rent Roll shall be part of the Materials for all purposes under this Contract and Sellers make no representations or warranties regarding the Rent Roll other than the express representation set forth in Section 6.1.7. Sellers shall update the Rent Roll in accordance with Section 5.2.14. 3.5.4 The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. 3.6 Property Contracts. On or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser may deliver written notice to each Seller (a "Property Contracts Notice") specifying any Property Contracts of such Seller which Purchaser desires to terminate at the Closing (the "Terminated Contracts"); provided that (a) the effective date of such termination after Closing shall be subject to the express terms of such Terminated Contracts (and, to the extent that the effective date of termination of any Terminated Contract is after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed all of the applicable Seller's obligations under such Terminated Contract as of the Closing Date), (b) if any such Property Contract cannot by its terms be terminated, it shall be assumed by Purchaser and not be a Terminated Contract, and (c) to the extent that any such Terminated Contract requires payment of a penalty or premium for cancellation, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees or penalties. If Purchaser fails to deliver a Property Contracts Notice to a Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, there shall be no Terminated Contracts with respect to such Seller (or its Property) and Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts of such Seller at the Closing. To the extent that any Property Contract to be assumed by Purchaser (including any Property Contract that, because of advance notice requirements, will be temporarily assumed by Purchaser pending the effective date of termination after the Closing Date) is assignable but requires the applicable vendor to consent to the assignment or assumption of the Property Contract by the applicable Seller to Purchaser, then, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining from each applicable vendor a consent (each a "Required Assignment Consent") to the assignment of the Property Contract by the applicable Seller to Purchaser (and the assumption by Purchaser of all obligations under such Property Contract). Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by the applicable Seller (in such Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such Seller) such Seller's Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to Purchaser's failure to obtain any Required Assignment Consent. ARTICLE IV TITLE 4.1 Title Documents. Within 7 calendar days after the Effective Date, each Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a standard form commitment for title insurance with an effective date no earlier than the Effective Date of this Contract ("Title Commitment") for such Seller's Property in an amount equal to the Property's Base Purchase Price from Title Insurer for an owner's title insurance policy (the "Title Policy") on the most recent standard American Land Title Association form, together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with the Title Commitment, referred to herein as the "Title Documents"). Each Seller shall be responsible only for payment of the basic premium for the Title Policy for its Property. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of all other costs relating to procurement of the Title Commitment, the Title Policy, and any requested endorsements with respect to each of the Properties. 4.2 Survey. Within 7 calendar days after the Effective Date, each Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or make available at such Seller's Property any existing survey of such Property (the "Existing Survey") which to such Seller's knowledge is in such Seller's possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2). If such Existing Survey was prepared within 6 months prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser shall reimburse the applicable Seller for the cost of the preparation thereof. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that delivery of the Existing Survey is subject to Section 3.5.2. To the extent that Purchaser desires that a new survey of a Property be prepared (or that the Existing Survey be updated), Purchaser shall request the same in writing to Seller's Representative no later than 10 calendar days after the Effective Date, in which event such Seller's Representative shall order such new or updated survey (together with the Existing Survey, referred to herein as the "Survey"). Any new or updated Survey may be ordered by Seller's Representative from the surveyor who prepared the Existing Survey (or from such other surveyor as Seller's Representative determines in its reasonable discretion). Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of the preparation of any new or updated survey ordered or requested by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2. Seller shall deliver (at Purchaser's sole cost and expense) within 10 calendar days after the Effective Date, a new Survey of the Land corresponding to the Springhouse Property which reflects the Georgia Department of Transportation easements, condemnations and rights of way granted in 2005, which Survey shall be in similar detail as the existing Survey for the Springhouse Property. 4.3 Objection and Response Process. On or before the date which is 30 days after the Effective Date (the "Objection Deadline"), Purchaser shall, on a Property-by-Property basis, give written notice (the "Objection Notice") to the attorneys for Sellers of any matter set forth in any Title Documents or Surveys to which Purchaser objects (the "Objections"). If Purchaser fails to tender an Objection Notice with respect to a Property on or before the Objection Deadline, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and irrevocably waived any objections to any matters covered by the Title Documents and the Survey for such Property. On or before 10 calendar days after the Objection Deadline (the "Response Deadline"), a Seller who has received an Objection Notice may, in such Seller's sole discretion, give Purchaser notice (the "Response Notice") of those Objections which such Seller is willing to cure, if any. Sellers shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure any Objections applicable to any Seller. If a Seller fails to deliver a Response Notice by the Response Deadline, such Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or otherwise resolve any matter set forth in the Objection Notice. If Purchaser is dissatisfied with any Response Notice, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, elect by written notice given to Seller's Representative on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period (the "Final Response Deadline") either (a) to accept the Title Documents and Survey with resolution, if any, of the Objections as set forth in the Response Notice (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without any resolution of the Objections) and without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price, or (b) to terminate this Contract in its entirety regarding all Properties (but not less than all Properties), in which event the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Initial Deposit). If Purchaser fails to give notice to terminate this Contract on or before the Final Response Deadline, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waived any objections to any matters covered by the Title Documents or the Survey applicable to each Property, subject only to resolution, if any, of the Objections as set forth in the Response Notice for such Property (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without any resolution of the Objections). 4.4 Permitted Exceptions. The Deed for each Property delivered pursuant to this Contract shall be subject to the following, all of which shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions": 4.4.1 All matters shown in the Title Documents and the Survey for such Property, other than (a) those Objections, if any, which the applicable Seller has agreed to cure pursuant to the Response Notice under Section 4.3, (b) mechanics' liens and taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing, (c) the standard exception regarding the rights of parties in possession which shall be limited to those parties in possession pursuant to the Leases, and (d) the standard exception pertaining to taxes which shall be limited to taxes and assessments payable in the year in which the Closing occurs and subsequent taxes and assessments; 4.4.2 All Leases for such Property; 4.4.3 [Intentionally deleted]; 4.4.4 Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances; 4.4.5 Any defects in or objections to title to such Property, or title exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through or under Purchaser; and 4.4.6 The terms and conditions of this Contract. 4.5 Existing Deed to Secure Debt . It is understood and agreed that, whether or not Purchaser gives an Objection Notice with respect thereto for any Property, any deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust and/or mortgages which secure a Note for a Property (collectively, a "Deed of Trust") shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions for such Property, whether Purchaser gives further written notice of such or not, and shall, pursuant to Section 5.4.7, be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured from proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing, provided that the Lender's Fees due in connection with such Loan Payoff shall be paid by Purchaser. 4.6 [Intentionally Deleted]. 4.7 Purchaser Financing. Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser's acquisition of such funds shall not be a contingency to the Closing. 4.8 RTC LURA. Purchaser specifically acknowledges receipt of the Land Use Restriction Agreement, by and between Augusta-Oxford Associates Limited Partnership and Resolution Trust Corporation, dated December 8, 1994, and recorded in the real property records of the Clerk of the Superior Court, Richmond County, Georgia, on March 1, 1995, at Reel 484, Page 1444 (the "RTC LURA"). Purchaser agrees that the RTC LURA is a Permitted Exception, and that Purchaser, at Closing, shall assume all obligations under the RTC LURA, including, without limitation, all occupancy, certification and reporting requirements thereunder. Further, Purchaser shall provide the Springhouse Seller such information as required for such Seller to notify the applicable monitoring agencies of the sale to Purchaser. Purchaser further acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, the Springhouse Seller makes no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever regarding the RTC LURA, including compliance by the Springhouse Seller or the Springhouse Property with the RTC LURA, including, without limitation, whether and to the extent it has complied with any occupancy, certification or reporting requirements, and the Springhouse Seller expressly disclaims that it or the Property is in compliance with RTC LURA. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing and conveyance of the applicable deed. ARTICLE V CLOSING 5.1 Closing Date. The Closing shall occur on January 31, 2006 (the "Closing Date") through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby the Sellers, 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, any 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, or to such other date (either in the same month or the next) as such Seller reasonably determines is desirable in connection with any Loan Payoff, and the exercise of such option shall extend the Closing Date for all Properties. Further, the Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option of any Seller either (i) 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 any Seller pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph) to satisfy any condition to Closing, or (ii) such later date as is mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. 5.2 Seller Closing Deliveries.

The prorations set forth in this Section 5.4 shall be on a Property-by-Property basis and not among, or between, Properties, and shall not be allocated on an Applicable Share basis. 5.4.1 General. With respect to each Property, 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, the applicable Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by the applicable 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. Each Seller shall prepare a proration schedule (the "Proration Schedule") of the adjustments described in this Section 5.4 prior to Closing. Such adjustments shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to such Seller) or by such Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser for such Property), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Purchaser at Closing for such Property. 5.4.2 Operating Expenses. With respect to each Property, all of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes, such as rental taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating such Property that such Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of such Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Each 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. With respect to each Property, the final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which case each 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 30 days after the Closing, if necessary. Each Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and such Seller shall notify each utility company serving its Property to terminate its account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date. 5.4.4 Real Estate Taxes. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for a 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 such Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year (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. 5.4.5 Property 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. 5.4.6 Leases. 5.4.6.1.....With respect to each Property, 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 a 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. Each 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 a Seller's favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay to such Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Properties for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents. After the Closing, each 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 such 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 any Seller of such right. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with each Seller in connection with all efforts by such Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents and to take all 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 each Seller, within 7 days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Uncollected Rents by such Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with a Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from a Property. 5.4.6.2.....At Closing, with respect to each Property, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the applicable 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 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 a Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by the applicable Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the applicable Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by such 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 any Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise. 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 for a Property, to the extent that the applicable 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 receive a credit therefor at Closing for such Property. With respect to any payments received by Purchaser after the Closing allocable to a Seller prior to Closing, Purchaser shall promptly pay the same to the applicable Seller. 5.4.7 Existing Loan. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser had the opportunity to assume each Note for each Property or to cause prepayment of such Note at Closing (but in either event, Purchaser would pay the Lender Fees). Purchaser has elected to cause the debt to be prepaid. Therefore, on the Closing Date, a sufficient amount of the proceeds of the Purchase Price will be used to pay the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Note together with all interest accrued under such Note prior to the Closing Date (the "Loan Payoff"), and Purchaser shall pay all Lender Fees (subject to reduction from the Purchase Price 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 the applicable Seller unless credited by Lender against the amount due under the Note. 5.4.8 [Intentionally deleted]. 5.4.9 Insurance. No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. 5.4.10......Employees. All of each Seller's and each Seller's manager's on-site employees shall have their employment at the applicable Property terminated as of the Closing Date. 5.4.11......Closing Costs. Purchaser shall pay any transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property, 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 one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent. 5.4.12......Utility Contracts. If any Seller has entered into an agreement for the purchase of electricity, gas or other utility service for its Property or a group of properties (including such Property) (a "Utility Contract"), or an affiliate of such Seller has entered into a Utility Contract, such Utility Contract shall be identified on the Seller Information Schedule and, as set forth on the Seller Information Schedule, either (a) Purchaser either shall assume the Utility Contract with respect to such Property, or (b) the reasonably calculated costs of the Utility Contract attributable to such Property from and after the Closing shall be paid to the applicable Seller at the Closing and such Seller shall remain responsible for payments under the Utility Contract. 5.4.13......Possession. Possession of each Property, subject to the Leases, Property Contracts which are not identified as Terminated Contracts during the Feasibility Period (subject to the limitations of Section 3.6), 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 applicable Purchase Price. To the extent reasonably available to each Seller, originals or copies of its Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the property, and such Seller's books and records relating to its Property to be conveyed by such Seller (other than proprietary information) (collectively, "Seller's Property-Related Files and Records") regarding the applicable Property shall be made available to Purchaser at such Property after the Closing. Purchaser agrees, for a period of not less than 3 years after the Closing (the "Records Hold Period"), to (a) provide and allow the applicable Seller reasonable access to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records for purposes of inspection and copying thereof, and (b) reasonably maintain and preserve Seller's Property-Related Files and Records. If at any time after the Records Hold Period, Purchaser desires to dispose of any Seller's Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser must first provide the applicable Seller prior written notice (the "Records Disposal Notice"). Such Seller shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the applicable 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 such Seller desires to retain. Purchaser agrees (i) to include the covenants of this Section 5.4.13 pertaining to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records in any management contract for each Property (and to bind the manager thereunder to such covenants), and (ii) to bind any future purchaser of such Property to the covenants of this Section 5.4.13 pertaining to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by each Seller (in such Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such Seller) such Seller's Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to Purchaser's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.4.13. 5.4.14......Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser. 5.5 Post Closing Adjustments. In general, and except as provided in this Contract or the Closing Documents, each Seller shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of its 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 such Property for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser or a Seller may request that Purchaser and such 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 for any Property (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) with respect to such Property. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser. ARTICLE VI 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, each Seller, individually and severally with respect only to itself and its Property, 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 Such Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation set forth on the Seller Information Schedule; and, subject to Sections 8.2.4 and 8.2.6, has or at the Closing shall have the entity power and authority to sell and convey its Property and to execute the documents to be executed by such 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. Subject to Section 8.2.4, 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 such Seller is a party or by which such Seller is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on such Seller's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract or on the Property. Subject to Sections 8.2.4 and 8.2.6, this Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against such Seller in accordance with its terms; 6.1.2 Other than the Leases, such Seller's Property is not subject to any written lease executed by such Seller or, to such Seller's knowledge, any other possessory interests of any person; 6.1.3 Such 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 as set forth on the Seller Information Schedule and for (a) any actions by such Seller to evict Tenants under its Leases, or (b) any matter covered by such Seller's current insurance policy(ies), to such Seller's knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings, litigation or governmental investigations or condemnation actions either pending or threatened against such Seller's Property; 6.1.5 To such Seller's knowledge, such 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 such Seller's Property; and 6.1.6 To such Seller's knowledge, such Seller has not received any written notice of any material default by such Seller under any of its Property Contracts that will not be terminated on the Closing Date. 6.1.7 To the knowledge of the applicable Seller, the Rent Roll (as updated pursuant to Section 5.2.14) provided by it, is accurate in all material respects. 6.2 AS-IS. Except for Seller's Representations, each Property is expressly purchased and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS." The Purchase Price for each Property 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 Sellers or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Sellers or Broker, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of any Property, the physical or environmental condition of any Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of any Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to any Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the Deed conveying a Property and Seller's Representations with respect to such Property). Purchaser agrees that Sellers shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions affecting the Properties. Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases each of 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 any 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 Properties. 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 Properties), reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Properties. If Sellers provide or have 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 Properties, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Sellers agree that Sellers have done so or shall do so only for the convenience of the 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 any Seller's Indemnified Parties. Purchaser shall rely only upon any title insurance obtained by Purchaser with respect to title to the Properties. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Sellers with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Properties with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Properties, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Properties, 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, each Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all of its 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 applicable Deed with or without such tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the applicable Purchase Price under this Contract. Purchaser hereby releases Sellers 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 Deeds to Purchaser. 6.3 Survival of Seller's Representations. Sellers and Purchaser agree that Seller's Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 6 months (the "Survival Period"). No Seller shall have liability after the Survival Period with respect to any of its Seller's Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has requested arbitration against such Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any of such Seller's Representations. Each Seller shall be liable only for the breach of its own Seller's Representations. Further, the liability for each Seller for breach of its Seller's Representations shall be limited to, and capped at, $100,000 for such Seller's Property for which a breach of Seller's Representations occurred, on a Property-by-Property basis if a Seller is selling more than one Property. Such cap on liability shall apply for any individual breach or in the aggregate for all breaches of such Seller's Seller's Representations with respect to such Property. Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring any claim for a breach of Seller's Representations unless the claim for damages (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Purchaser for a Property exceeds $5,000. In the event that a 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 such 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 [such] 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 of such Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of such Seller, or any affiliate of such 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. 6.5 Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser. For the purpose of inducing Sellers to enter into this Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Properties in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers 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 Delaware. 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 Sellers. 6.5.4 Other than Seller's Representations, Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Sellers or any representative of Sellers (including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the acquisition of the Properties. 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 any 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. 6.5.6 Purchaser is not a Prohibited Person. 6.5.7 To 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. 6.5.8 The funds or other assets Purchaser will transfer to Seller under to this Contract are not the property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person. 6.5.9 The funds or other assets Purchaser will transfer to Seller under this Contract are not the proceeds of specified unlawful activity as defined by 18 U.S.C. ss. 1956(c)(7). The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser for a period of 6 months. ARTICLE VII OPERATION OF THE PROPERTIES 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 each Seller may, with respect to its Property, 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, each Seller agrees that any such new Property Contracts or any new or renewed Leases shall not have a term in excess of 1 year (or such longer period of time for which such Property Contracts or Leases are entered into by such Seller in the ordinary course of its operation of its 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, each Seller shall operate its Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in such Seller's sole discretion to address (a) any life or safety issue at its Property or (b) any other matter which in such Seller's reasonable discretion materially adversely affects the use, operation or value of such Property, such Seller will not make any material alterations to its 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. 7.3 Liens. Other than utility easements and temporary construction easements granted by a Seller in the ordinary course of business, each Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to its 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. If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder. ARTICLE VIII CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING 8.1 Purchaser's Conditions to Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1, 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 Sellers to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall have been delivered; 8.1.2 Each of Seller's Representations shall be true in all material respects as of the Closing Date; 8.1.3 Each 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 such Seller hereunder; and 8.1.4 No Seller nor any of Seller's general partners shall be a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding nor shall have been in the last 6 months a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions on 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 through 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 for any Property, or (b) notify Seller's Representative in writing of Purchaser's decision to terminate this Contract in its entirety regarding all Properties (but not less than all Properties), in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit), and if such failure constitutes a default by a Seller, exercise its remedies under Section 10.2. 8.2 Sellers' Conditions to Closing. Without limiting any of the rights of any Seller elsewhere provided for in this Contract, each Seller's obligation to close with respect to conveyance of its Property under this Contract shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following conditions precedent: 8.2.1 All of the documents and funds required to be delivered by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall have been delivered; 8.2.2 Each of the representations, warranties and covenants of Purchaser contained herein shall be true in all material respects as of the Closing Date; 8.2.3 Purchaser 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 Purchaser hereunder; 8.2.4 Such Seller shall have received all consents, documentation and approvals necessary to consummate and facilitate the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, a tax free exchange pursuant to Section 13.19 (and the amendment of such Seller's (or such Seller's affiliates' partnership or other organizational documents in connection therewith) (a) from Seller's unaffiliated partners, members, managers, shareholders or directors to the extent required by Seller's (or Seller's affiliates') organizational documents, and (b) as required by law; 8.2.5 [Intentionally deleted]; 8.2.6 AIMCO shall, directly or indirectly, own more than 50% of the voting interests in each Seller at the time of Closing; and 8.2.7 There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or the applicable Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser. If any of the foregoing conditions in Sections 8.2.1 through 8.2.7 to a Seller's obligation to close with respect to the conveyance of its Property under this Contract are not met, such Seller may (a) waive any of the foregoing conditions and proceed to Closing on the Closing Date, or (b) terminate this Contract in its entirety, and, if such failure constitutes a default by Purchaser, exercise any of its remedies under Section 10.1. If a Seller terminates this Contract, the remaining Sellers shall consent to such termination. The termination of this Contract by any Seller pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be exercised by written notice from Seller's Representative to Purchaser by 12:00 p.m. (of the time zone in which the Escrow Agent is located) of the Closing Date. If a Seller fails to obtain any consents required by Sections 8.2.4(a) or 8.2.6, and this Contract is terminated and the Properties are not conveyed to Purchaser because of such failure, then each Seller shall pay Purchaser its direct and actual due diligence out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with such Seller's Property, which damages shall not exceed $25,000 (individually) for each Property so terminated. ARTICLE IX BROKERAGE 9.1 Indemnity. Each Seller, severally and individually, represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with Apartment Realty Advisors of Georgia, 1575 Northside Drive, NW, Building 100, Suite 150, Atlanta, Georgia 30318, Attention: John Weber and Bill Shipper ("Broker") in connection with this Contract. Each Seller, severally and individually, 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. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated, the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser. 9.2 Broker Commission. If the Closing occurs, each Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission according to the terms of a separate contract. Broker shall not be deemed a party or third party beneficiary of this Contract. 9.3 Broker Signature Page. As a condition to each Seller's obligation to pay the commission pursuant to Section 9.2, 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 Sellers, and the same shall become fully effective upon execution by Purchaser and Sellers, and (b) the signature of Broker will not be necessary to amend any provision of this Contract. ARTICLE X DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 10.1 Purchaser Default. If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Initial Deposit or Additional Deposit (or any other deposit or payment required of Purchaser hereunder), (b) deliver to Sellers the deliveries specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price for each Property at the time required by Section 2.2.4 and close on the purchase of the Properties on the Closing Date, then, immediately and without notice or cure, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Applicable Share of the Deposit to each Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Properties. 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 from Seller's Representative, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Applicable Share of the Deposit to each 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, Sellers' sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Properties or breach of a representation or warranty. Sellers expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser. SELLERS AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLERS' DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLERS' DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. SELLERS AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLERS, AND SHALL BE SELLERS' 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. 10.2 Seller Default. If a Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Contract, including to sell its 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, Purchaser may either (a) seek specific performance of the defaulting Seller's obligations to deliver its Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages), or (b) give written notice to Seller's Representative of Purchaser's decision to terminate this Contract in its entirety for all Properties (but not less than all Properties), in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit). If this Contract is terminated, 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 due diligence expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with the Properties for which this Contract has been terminated, which damages shall not exceed $25,000 per terminated Property. If this Contract is terminated, Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to each 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 Sellers pursuant to the foregoing sentence. SELLERS 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 SELLERS, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY ANY 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 SELLERS FOR ANY BREACH BY A 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 ANY PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY. ARTICLE XI RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY 11.1 Major Damage. If a Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date, but prior to Closing, and the cost of repair is more than $250,000, then the applicable Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction 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, Purchaser may elect at its option to given written notice to Seller's Representative that Purchaser terminates this Contract in its entirety for all Properties (but not less than all Properties), in which event Purchaser shall recover the Deposit (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to a return of the Deposit). Purchaser's failure to provide Seller's Representative written notice that it desires to terminate this Contract in its entirety shall be deemed Purchaser's decision to purchase all of the Properties. If this Contract is not terminated, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price for the damaged Property notwithstanding any such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto (plus a credit against the applicable Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible payable by the applicable Seller in connection therewith) at Closing. Purchaser acknowledges the Springhouse Casualty and agrees that the provisions of this Section 11.1 shall not apply to the Springhouse Casualty; rather, the provisions of Section 11.4 shall apply. 11.2 Minor Damage. If a Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, and the cost of repair is less than $250,000, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, the applicable Seller shall make such repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on such Property if they can be reasonably effected before the Closing. Subject to Section 11.3, if the applicable Seller is unable to effect such repairs, then Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto (plus a credit against the Purchase Price for the damaged Property in the amount of any deductible payable by the applicable Seller in connection therewith) at Closing. 11.3 Repairs. To the extent that a Seller elects to commence any repair, replacement or restoration of its damaged Property prior to Closing, then such 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 Deeds to Purchaser. 11.4 Springhouse Property. 11.4.1......Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller of the Springhouse Property has adequately and sufficiently disclosed to Purchaser the occurrence and extent of a fire casualty at the Springhouse Property that occurred in August 2005 (prior to the Effective Date) (the "Springhouse Casualty"). Purchaser further acknowledges that it will inspect the Springhouse Property and, if it does not terminate this Contract prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, it shall accept the Springhouse Property "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" as provided in this Contract, notwithstanding the Springhouse Casualty. Notwithstanding the actual costs of repair or the total cost of the damage in connection with the Springhouse Casualty, if Purchaser does not terminate this Contract prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any rights which Purchaser may have to terminate the Contract arising out of the Springhouse Casualty. In sole satisfaction of the Springhouse Casualty, at the Closing, the Seller of the Springhouse Property shall assign to Purchaser all rights, and Purchaser shall assume from such Seller all obligations, associated with the insurance and insurance claim (the "Springhouse Insurance Claim") in connection with the Springhouse Casualty, pursuant to the Springhouse Insurance Assignment. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the costs of completing any repairs arising out of or necessitated by the Springhouse Casualty. Purchaser recognizes and agrees that (A) prior to the Closing, the Seller of the Springhouse Property may commence clean-up, demolition, reconstruction and other repairs in connection with the Springhouse Casualty and may utilize a portion of insurance proceeds to do so, and (B) the post-Closing release to Purchaser of any of any insurance proceeds retained (the "Retained Proceeds") by the applicable insurer (the "Insurance Administrator") shall be subject to delivery of certain completion documentation and other requirements imposed by the Insurance Administrator. 11.4.2......After the expiration of the Feasibility Period, if the Springhouse Seller conducts any significant reconstruction or repair of the Springhouse Property related to the Springhouse Casualty, it shall do so in material conformity with those plans delivered to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period and shall not materially deviate from such plans except with the prior approval of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Further, after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, the Springhouse Seller shall reasonably consult with Purchaser about the processing of the Springhouse Insurance Claim and shall not undertake any material actions with respect to the Springhouse Insurance Claim without the prior approval of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that post-Closing, it may be obligated to continue with contractors and consultants used by the Springhouse Seller and that such contracts shall be "Property Contracts" hereunder. If Purchaser is requested to consent pursuant to this subsection and Purchaser fails to respond to the Springhouse Seller's request for approval within five days after such request, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the requested action. 11.4.3......The provisions of this Section 11.4 shall survive the Closing and the conveyance of the Springhouse Deed; provided, however, the Springhouse Seller's pre-Closing covenants set forth in Section 11.4.2 shall be deemed additional "Seller's Representations" hereunder and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3 above. ARTICLE XII EMINENT DOMAIN 12.1 Eminent Domain. If, after the Effective Date but prior to the Closing, any material part of a Property is (or 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 give written notice to Seller's Representative that Purchaser terminates this Contract in its entirety for all Properties (but not less than all Properties), in which event Purchaser shall recover the Deposit (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to a return of the Deposit). If this Contract is not terminated, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price for the affected Property 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 a Property. Purchaser acknowledges that (i) it has been apprised of the Georgia Department of Transportation condemnation (or transfer in lieu thereof) and easements with respect to the Springhouse Property in 2005, (ii) the provisions of this Section 12.1 do not apply to such condemnation and easements, (iii) the Springhouse Seller shall retain all proceeds and awards from or related to such condemnation (or transfer in lieu thereof), and (iv) Purchaser's only right of termination with respect to the Springhouse condemnation (or transfer in lieu thereof) is to terminate this Contract prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing and the conveyance of the Deeds. ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS 13.1 Binding Effect of Contract. This Contract shall not be binding on any party until executed by both Purchaser and all Sellers. As provided in Section 2.3.5 and Section 9.3 above, neither the Escrow Agent's nor the Broker's execution of this Contract shall be a prerequisite to its effectiveness. 13.2 Exhibits And Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules, whether or not annexed hereto, are a part of this Contract for all purposes. 13.3 Assignability.

As used herein, an affiliate is a person or entity controlled by, under common control with, or controlling another person or entity. 13.4 Binding Effect. Subject to Section 13.3, this Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sellers and Purchaser, and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns. 13.5 Captions.

The laws of the State of Georgia 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 13.25, 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. 13.9 Entire 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 agreements, whether written or oral. 13.10 Amendments. 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) as provided in Section 2.3.5 above, 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) as provided in Section 9.3 above, the signature of the Broker shall not be required as to any amendment of this Contract. 13.11 Severability. If 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. 13.12 Multiple Counterparts/Facsimile Signatures. This Contract may be executed in a number of identical counterparts. This Contract may be executed by facsimile signatures which shall be binding on the parties hereto, with original signatures to be delivered as soon as reasonably practical thereafter. 13.13 Construction.

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 Sellers' lenders, attorneys and accountants. Any information and Materials provided by Sellers to Purchaser hereunder are confidential and Purchaser shall be prohibited from making such information public to any other person or entity other than its agents and legal representatives, without the prior written authorization of Seller's Representative, which may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of Seller's Representative. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.9, 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. 13.15 Time Of The Essence. It is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that time is of the essence with respect to this Contract. 13.16 Waiver. 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. 13.17 Attorneys Fees. In the event either party hereto commences litigation or arbitration against the other to enforce its rights hereunder, the substantially 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. 13.18 Time Periods. 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. 13.19 1031 Exchange. Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of each Property may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code for either Purchaser or a Seller. Each party hereby agrees to take all reasonable steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making such accommodation shall be required to acquire any substitute property, (b) such exchange shall not affect the representations, warranties, liabilities and obligations of the parties to each other under this Contract, (c) no party making such accommodation shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing documents required in connection with such exchange), and (d) no dates in this Contract will be extended as a result thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if a Seller so elects to close the transfer of a Property as an exchange, then (i) such Seller, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to transfer a Property under this Contract, and may assign its rights to receive the Purchase Price from Purchaser, to a deferred exchange intermediary (an "Intermediary") or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of such Seller pursuant to this Contract; (iii) such Seller shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Contract as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) Intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be, shall have no liability to Purchaser; and (v) the closing of the transfer of the Property to Purchaser shall be undertaken by direct deed from such Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of such Seller whom such Seller will cause to execute such deeds) to Purchaser or to exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Purchaser so elects to close the acquisition of a Property as an exchange, then (i) Purchaser, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to acquire such Property under this Contract, and may assign its rights to receive the Property from such Seller, to an Intermediary or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise affect the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to this Contract; (iii) Purchaser shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Contract as if such delegation and assignment shall not have taken place; (iv) Intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be, shall have no liability to such Seller; and (v) the closing of the acquisition of such Property by Purchaser or the exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from the applicable Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of such Seller whom such Seller will cause to execute such deeds) to Purchaser (or to exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.19 to the contrary, any Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date (as previously extended pursuant to Section 5.1) for up to 30 days in order to facilitate a tax-free exchange pursuant to this Section 13.19, and to obtain all documentation in connection therewith. 13.20 No Personal Liability. Purchaser agrees that none of any 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. Each Seller agrees that none of Purchaser's affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives or agents shall have any personal liability under this Contract or any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contract; provided, however, the foregoing limitation on liability does not apply to any successor or assign of Purchaser's rights under this Contract or to ownership of any Property. 13.21 No Exclusive Negotiations. Sellers 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 any Property with any third-party; provided, however, that such communications are subject to the terms of this Contract, and that Sellers shall not enter into any contract with a third-party for the sale of any Property unless such contract is contingent on the termination of this Contract without the Property having been conveyed to Purchaser. 13.22 ADA Disclosure. Purchaser acknowledges that the Properties 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 a property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons. Sellers make no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to any Property's compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Sellers expressly disclaim any such representation. 13.23 No 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 the prior written consent of Seller's Representative, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller's Representative. If the 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 the Seller's Representative 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. 13.24 Relationship of Parties. Purchaser and Sellers 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 Sellers is, nor shall either hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party. 13.25 Dispute 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 substantially prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the substantially prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 13.25 shall not prevent Purchaser or Sellers 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 13.25. 13.26 AIMCO Marks. Purchaser agrees that Sellers, 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. 13.27 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, without the express written consent of Seller's Representative, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser's employees, affiliates or agents shall solicit, recruit or hire any of Seller's employees or any employees located at any Property (or any of any Seller's affiliates' employees located at any property owned by such affiliates) for potential employment for a period of 2 years from the Effective Date. The provisions of this section shall survive termination of this Contract and the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. 13.28 Survival. Except for (a) all of the provisions of this Article 13 (other than Section 13.19 and 13.21), and (b) any provision of this Contract which expressly states that it shall so survive, and (c) any payment obligation of Purchaser under this Contract (the foregoing (a), (b) and (c) 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) shall be merged into the Closing documents and shall not survive Closing. 13.29 Multiple Purchasers. As used in this Contract, the term "Purchaser" means all entities acquiring any interest in any Properties 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. In the event that a 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 a Seller or Seller's Representative is required to give notice or take action with respect to Purchaser under this Contract, notice 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 a 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 a Seller to pay any amount pursuant to this Contract to Purchaser under any circumstance, that amount shall be deemed the 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 a Seller is required to return the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit or other amount to Purchaser, such 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. 13.30 Sellers' Several Obligations. Purchaser agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract to the contrary, the representations, warranties, obligations, and covenants of each Seller are individual and several, and not joint and several, and that each Seller is responsible and liable only for its own Property and its own representations, warranties, obligations, and covenants. Purchaser agrees that it shall look solely to the applicable Seller for any amount due hereunder or, obligation owed hereunder, and further waives any and all claims against any other party or Property for payment or performance of the same, including, without limitation, any other Seller or AIMCO, or any partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, representative or agent of any Seller or AIMCO. 13.31 Obligation to Close on all Properties. Except as expressly set forth in this Contract, Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Properties is not severable and Purchaser must purchase all of the Properties. Similarly, except as expressly stated this Contract, Sellers' obligations to sell the Properties are not severable and Sellers must sell all of the Properties to Purchaser. ARTICLE XIV LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE 14.1 Disclosure. Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge delivery of the Lead Based Paint Disclosure attached as Exhibit H hereto. The provisions of this Section 14.1 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.
