The balance of the Purchase Price for the Property shall be paid to and received by Escrow Agent by wire transfer of Good Funds no later than 11:00 a.m. (in the time zone in which Escrow Agent is located) on the Closing Date. If for any reason Purchaser fails to fund the Purchase Price for the Property on or before 11:00 a.m. (in the time zone in which Escrow Agent is located) on February 28, 2007, or otherwise timely close by 11:00 a.m. (in the time zone in which Escrow Agent is located) by February 28, 2007 and Seller, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, agrees to permit the transaction to close (either on February 28, 2007 or in March of 2007), then Purchaser shall be solely responsible to pay all interest on the Loan for the month of March (calculated, regardless of when the Loan actually is repaid, as if the Loan were repaid on the last day of the month of March), and Purchaser shall pay such amount in full to the Lender at the Closing. Nothing herein shall obligate Seller to extend the deadline for receipt of the balance of the Purchase Price or the Closing Date under any circumstances.

2.3

Escrow Provisions Regarding Deposit.

2.3.1

Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit and make delivery of the Deposit to the party entitled thereto under the terms of this Contract. Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit in such short-term, high-grade securities, interest-bearing bank accounts, money market funds or accounts, bank certificates of deposit or bank repurchase contracts as Escrow Agent, in its discretion, deems suitable, and all interest and income thereon shall become part of the Deposit and shall be remitted to the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Contract.

2.3.2

Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the earlier occurrence of (i) the Closing Date, at which time the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price, or (ii) the date on which Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Deposit as set forth in Section 2.3.3. The tax identification numbers of the parties shall be furnished to Escrow Agent upon request.

2.3.3

If the Deposit has not been released earlier in accordance with Section 2.3.2, and either party makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within 5 Business Days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return or certify the destruction of all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit to Purchaser). If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such 5-Business Day period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties to this Contract or a final judgment or arbitrator's decision. However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the Deposit and interest thereon, if any, with a court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is located. Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser. Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

2.3.4

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

2.3.5

The parties shall deliver to Escrow Agent an executed copy of this Contract, which shall constitute the sole instructions to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall execute the signature page for Escrow Agent attached hereto with respect to the provisions of this Section 2.3; provided, however, that (a) Escrow Agent's signature hereon shall not be a prerequisite to the binding nature of this Contract on Purchaser and Seller, and the same shall become fully effective upon execution by Purchaser and Seller, and (b) the signature of Escrow Agent will not be necessary to amend any provision of this Contract other than this Section 2.3.

2.3.6

Escrow Agent, as the person responsible for closing the transaction within the meaning of Section 6045(e)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), shall file all necessary information, reports, returns, and statements regarding the transaction required by the Code including, but not limited to, the tax reports required pursuant to Section 6045 of the Code. Further, Escrow Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser, Seller, 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 Deed to Purchaser.

To conduct and make any and all customary studies, tests, examinations, inquiries, and inspections, or investigations (collectively, the "Inspections") of or concerning the Property (including, without limitation, engineering and feasibility studies, evaluation of drainage and flood plain, soil tests for bearing capacity and percolation and surveys, including topographical surveys);

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 by giving written notice to that effect to Seller 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, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3, Escrow Agent shall forthwith return the Initial Deposit, less the $25,000 Deposit, to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return or certify the destruction of all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Initial Deposit).

3.3

Conduct of Investigation. Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialmen's liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party in connection with any Inspections conducted by or for Purchaser. Purchaser shall give notice to Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all Inspections conducted at the Property. All information made available by Seller 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 Property 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 Deed to Purchaser.

3.4

Purchaser Indemnification.

3.4.1

Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Seller (in Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by Seller) Seller, together with 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 Seller, "Seller's Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all damages, mechanics' liens, liabilities, 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 the Property, and any Inspections or other matters performed by Purchaser with respect to the Property during the Feasibility Period or otherwise.

Further, Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of the Property), investigations and other matters that in Seller's reasonable judgment could result in any injury to the Property or breach of any contract, or expose Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect the Property or Seller's interest therein. Purchaser shall use best efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser's or its Consultants' activities pursuant to this Section. No consent by the Seller to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption of liability or risk by Seller. Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, the Property to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser's exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article 3. Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and commercial general liability insurance with coverages of not less than $1,000,000.00 for injury or death to any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury or death to more than one person and $1,000,000.00 with respect to property damage, and (b) worker's compensation insurance for all of their respective employees in accordance with the law of the state in which the Property is located.

Within 10 days after the Effective Date, and to the extent the same exist and are in Seller's possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2), Seller agrees to make the documents set forth on Schedule 3.5 (the "Materials") available at the Property for review and copying by Purchaser at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. In the alternative, at Seller's option and within the foregoing 10-day period, Seller may deliver some or all of the Materials to Purchaser, or make the same available to Purchaser on a secure web site (Purchaser agrees that any item to be delivered by Seller under this Contract shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Purchaser on such secured web site). 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 Seller and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the same to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after such notification is received by 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, 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 Seller 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 Seller (or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Seller) 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 Seller pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in Seller's possession or control, but are those that are readily available to Seller after reasonable inquiry to ascertain their availability. Purchaser understands that, although Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and make available the Materials and other documents required to be delivered or made available by Seller 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 the 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 Property.

3.5.3

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 Seller (the "Property Contracts Notice") specifying any Property Contracts 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 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 the Property Contracts Notice on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, there shall be no Terminated Contracts and Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts 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 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 Seller to Purchaser (and the assumption by Purchaser of all obligations under such Property Contract). If a vendor does not cooperate with Purchaser, Seller shall reasonably assist Purchaser in obtaining such vendor consent so long as Seller does not incur any costs. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Seller (in Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by Seller) 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 3 Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of any of its existing title commitments, title policies or title opinions concerning the Property which to Seller’s knowledge is in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2). Within 10 calendar days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall (a) obtain a standard form commitment for title insurance (“Title Commitment”) for the Property in an amount equal to the 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, and (b) deliver to Seller a copy of the Title Commitment, together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with the Title Commitment, referred to herein as the “Title Documents”). Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs of the title abstract, examination and all premiums and costs relating to procurement of the Title Commitment, the Title Policy and any requested endorsements.

4.2

Survey. Within 7 calendar days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or make available at the Property any existing survey of the Property (the “Existing Survey”) which to Seller’s knowledge is in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2). 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 the Property be prepared (or that the Existing Survey be updated), Purchaser shall request the same in writing to Seller no later than 10 calendar days after the Effective Date. Any such new or updated survey shall be delivered to Purchaser. Seller also independently may elect to order a new or updated survey of the Property either before or after the Effective Date (such new or updated survey whether requested by Purchaser or ordered by Seller), together with the Existing Survey, is referred to herein as the “Survey”). Any new or updated survey may be ordered by Seller from the surveyor who prepared the Existing Survey (or from such other surveyor as such Seller determines in its reasonable discretion). Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of the preparation only of any new or updated survey ordered or requested by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2.

4.3

Objection and Response Process. On or before the date which is 21 days after the Effective Date (the "Objection Deadline"), Purchaser shall give written notice (the "Objection Notice") to the attorneys for Seller of any matter set forth in the Title Documents or the Survey which renders the title or Survey to such Property unmarketable, and, if Purchaser produces environmental reports on a Property ("Environmental Reports"), any matter set forth in the Environmental Report for such Property requiring the intervention of a regulatory agency (the "Objections"). If Purchaser fails to tender an Objection Notice 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 and environmental matters regarding the Property. On or before 7 calendar days after the Objection Deadline (the "Response Deadline"), Seller may, in Seller's sole discretion, give Purchaser notice (the "Response Notice") of those Objections which Seller is willing to cure, if any. Seller shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the Objections. If Seller fails to deliver a Response Notice by the Response Deadline, 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 the Response Notice, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, elect by written notice given to Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period (the "Final Response Deadline") either (a) to accept the Title Documents, Survey and environmental condition of the Property 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 which event the Initial Deposit, including the $25,000 Deposit, shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return or certify the destruction of all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Initial Deposit). The $25,000.00 Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser only under the limited conditions stated in this Section 4.3, Sellers' failure to satisfy the conditions to Closing pursuant to Section 8.2.4 and Seller default pursuant to Section 10.2. 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, subject only to 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).

4.4

Permitted Exceptions. The Deed 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, other than (a) those Objections, if any, which 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;

Existing Deed of Trust/Mortgage. It is understood and agreed that, whether or not Purchaser gives an Objection Notice with respect thereto, the first-priority deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Property as of the Closing (the "Deed of Trust") shall not be deemed a Permitted Exception, 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.

4.6

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.

Closing Date. The Closing shall occur on February 28, 2007 (the "Closing Date") through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby the Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have the option, by delivering written notice to Purchaser, to extend the Closing Date to the last Business Day of the month in which the Closing Date otherwise would occur pursuant to the preceding sentence, or to such other date (either in the same month or the next) as Seller reasonably determines is desirable in connection with the Loan Payoff. Further, the Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option of Seller to a date not later than 30 days following the Closing Date specified in the first sentence of this paragraph above (or, if applicable, as extended by Seller pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph) to satisfy any condition to Closing, or such later date as is mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.

General. All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, collected rents, operating expenses, personal property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date, if assumed by Purchaser) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date. Seller shall prepare a proration schedule (the "Proration Schedule") of the adjustments described in this Section 5.4 prior to Closing. Such adjustments shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Purchaser at Closing.

5.4.2

Operating Expenses. All of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes, such as rental taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of the Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to Closing and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing Date.

5.4.3

Utilities. The final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties' reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within 30 days after the Closing, if necessary. Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and Seller shall notify each utility company serving the Property to terminate Seller's account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date.

5.4.4

Real Estate Taxes. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using 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

All collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating cost pass-throughs or other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases), income and expenses from any portion of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (prorated for any partial month). Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date. Seller shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made in relation to either (a) non-delinquent rents which have not been collected as of the Closing Date, or (b) delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the "Uncollected Rents"). In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in Seller's favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser, except that Purchaser may first apply such collected rents to current rents due to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents. After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant and the delivery of the Leases Assignment shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right; provided, however, that the foregoing right of Seller shall be limited to actions seeking monetary damages and, in no event, shall Seller seek to evict any Tenants in any action to collect Uncollected Rents. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents 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 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 Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to commence any legal action with any Tenant to terminate any Tenant lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property or to incur any third-party expenses whatsoever.

5.4.6.2

At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) Tenant Deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage or other refundable deposits or required to be paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the Tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state law (the "Tenant Security Deposit Balance"). Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by Seller pursuant to this Contract (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by Purchaser. The Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall not include any non-refundable deposits or fees paid by Tenants to Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise.

5.4.6.3

With respect to operating expenses, taxes, utility charges, other operating cost pass-throughs, retroactive rental escalations, sums or charges payable by Tenants under the Tenant Leases, to the extent that Seller has received as of the Closing payments allocable to periods subsequent to Closing, the same shall be properly prorated with an adjustment in favor of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall receive a credit therefor at Closing. With respect to any payments received by Purchaser after the Closing allocable to Seller prior to Closing, Purchaser shall promptly pay the same to Seller.

5.4.7

Existing Loan. On the Closing Date, a sufficient amount of the proceeds of the Purchase Price will be used to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Note together with all interest accrued thereon prior to the Closing Date (the "Loan Payoff"). Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Loan shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at the Closing unless credited by the Lender against the amount due thereunder.

5.4.8

Insurance. No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.

5.4.9

Employees. All of Seller's and Seller's manager's on-site employees shall have their employment at the Property terminated as of the Closing Date.

5.4.10

Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the Property, Broker's commission and Seller's attorney fees. Purchaser shall pay the cost of recording the Deed, the cost of the Survey, the cost of the title abstract, examination and title insurance premium, Purchaser's attorneys fees and costs of the Escrow Agent.

5.4.11

[Intentionally Deleted]

5.4.12

Possession. Possession of the 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 Purchase Price. To the extent reasonably available to Seller, originals or copies of the Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys to the property, and Seller's books and records (other than proprietary information) (collectively, "Seller's Property-Related Files and Records") regarding the Property shall be made available to Purchaser at the Property after the Closing. Purchaser agrees, for a period of not less than 5 years after the Closing (the "Records Hold Period"), to (a) provide and allow 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 Seller's Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser must first provide Seller prior written notice (the "Records Disposal Notice"). Seller shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the Property (or such other location where such records are then stored) and remove or copy those of Seller's Property-Related Files and Records that Seller desires to retain. Purchaser agrees (i) to include the covenants of this Section 5.4.12 pertaining to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records in any management contract for the Property (and to bind the manager thereunder to such covenants), and (ii) to bind any future purchaser of the Property to the covenants of this Section 5.4.12 pertaining to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Seller (in Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by Seller) 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 5.4.12.

5.4.13

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, Seller shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of the Property for the period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be entitled to all income, and shall pay all expenses, relating to the operation of the Property for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date. Purchaser or Seller may request that Purchaser and Seller undertake to re-adjust any item on the Proration Schedule (or any item omitted therefrom) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of this Contract; provided, however, that neither party shall have any obligation to re-adjust any items (a) after the expiration of 60 days after Closing, or (b) subject to such 60-day period, unless such items exceed $5,000.00 in magnitude (either individually or in the aggregate). The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed 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, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser the following (collectively, the "Seller's Representations") as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date (provided that Purchaser's remedies if any such Seller's Representations are untrue as of the Closing Date are limited to those set forth in Section 8.1):

6.1.1

Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation set forth in the initial paragraph of this Contract; and, subject to Section 8.2.4, has or at the Closing shall have the entity power and authority to sell and convey the Property and to execute the documents to be executed by Seller and prior to the Closing will have taken as applicable, all corporate, partnership, limited liability company or equivalent entity actions required for the execution and delivery of this Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract. The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Seller's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract or on the Property. Subject to Section 8.2.4, this Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against Seller in accordance with its terms;

6.1.2

Other than the Leases, the Property is not subject to any written lease executed by Seller or, to Seller's knowledge, any other possessory interests of any person;

6.1.3

Seller is not a "foreign person," as that term is used and defined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 1445, as amended;

6.1.4

Except for (a) any actions by Seller to evict Tenants under the Leases, or (b) any matter covered by Seller's current insurance policy(ies), to Seller's knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings, litigation or governmental investigations or condemnation actions either pending or threatened against the Property;

6.2

AS-IS. Except for Seller's Representations, the Property is expressly purchased and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS." SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE FITNESS OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PURPOSE OR INTENDED USE OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF APPARENT OR HIDDEN DEFECTS, ALL OF WHICH WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED BY PURCHASER. Purchaser fully and completely waives any and all rights for the return of all or any part of the Purchase Price by the reason of any such defects. Purchaser expressly waives the warranty against eviction, warranty of fitness and the warranty against redhibitory vices and defects, whether apparent or latent, imposed by Louisiana Civil Code Articles 2475 and 2500, any other applicable state or federal law, and the jurisprudence thereunder. Buyer also waives any rights it may have in redhibition or to a reduction of the Purchase Price pursuant to Louisiana Civil Code Articles 2520 through 2548, inclusive, in connection with the Property. By its signature, Buyer expressly acknowledges all such waivers and its exercise of Buyer's right to waive warranty pursuant to Louisiana Civil Code Articles 2503 and 2548. The Purchase Price and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm's-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, and is not relying upon, any information provided by Seller or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Seller or Broker, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the Deed conveying the Property and Seller's Representations). Purchaser agrees that Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions affecting the Property. Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases Seller's Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire against Seller's Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions or other conditions affecting the Property. Purchaser represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, it has and shall have reviewed and conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation, environmental studies and analyses concerning the presence of lead, asbestos, water intrusion and/or fungal growth and any resulting damage, PCBs and radon in and about the Property), reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Property. If Seller provides or has provided any documents, summaries, opinions or work product of consultants, surveyors, architects, engineers, title companies, governmental authorities or any other person or entity with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done so or shall do so only for the convenience of both parties, Purchaser shall not rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents, summaries, opinions or work product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against Seller's Indemnified Parties. Purchaser shall rely only upon any title insurance obtained by Purchaser with respect to title to the Property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Property with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Property, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Property, or any part thereof, or the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or tenants. Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Contract in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the Deed with or without such tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price under this Contract. Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the foregoing matters. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

6.3

Survival of Seller's Representations. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 6 months (the "Survival Period"). Seller shall have no liability after the Survival Period with respect to Seller's Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has requested arbitration against Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any of Seller's Representations. Under no circumstances shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for more than $50,000 in any individual instance or in the aggregate for all breaches of Seller's Representations, nor shall Purchaser be entitled to bring any claim for a breach of Seller's Representations unless the claim for damage (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Purchaser exceeds $5,000. In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained in Section 6.1 and Purchaser had knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith.

6.4

Definition of Seller's Knowledge. Any representations and warranties made "to the knowledge of Seller" shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. For purposes of this Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of the Designated Representative of the Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller, or any affiliate of the Seller, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any individual personal liability. As used herein, the term Designated Representative shall refer to Suzanne Keown who is the Regional Property Manager handling this Property (the "Regional Property Manager").

6.5

Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser. For the purpose of inducing Seller to enter into this Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

6.5.1

Purchaser is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Texas.

6.5.2

Purchaser, acting through any of its or their duly empowered and authorized officers or members, has all necessary entity power and authority to own and use its properties and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and has full power and authority to enter into this Contract, to execute and deliver the documents and instruments required of Purchaser herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder; and no consent of any of Purchaser's partners, directors, officers or members are required to so empower or authorize Purchaser. The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Purchaser's ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract. This Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

6.5.3

No pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation exists which if determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser's obligations or covenants to Seller.

6.5.4

Other than Seller's Representations, Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Seller or any representative of Seller (including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the acquisition of the Property.

6.5.5

The Broker and its affiliates do not, and will not at the Closing, have any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser (or in an assignee of Purchaser, which pursuant to Section 13.3, acquires the Property at the Closing), nor has Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser granted (as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date) the Broker or any of its affiliates any right or option to acquire any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser.

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 this Contract are not the property of, or 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. § 1956(c)(7).

The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

7.2

General Operation of Property. Except as specifically set forth in this Article 7, Seller shall operate the Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in the Seller's sole discretion to address (a) any life or safety issue at the Property or (b) any other matter which in Seller's reasonable discretion materially adversely affects the use, operation or value of the Property, Seller will not make any material alterations to the Property or remove any material Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed.

7.3

Liens. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may refinance the existing or future debt associated with the Property prior to Closing. Purchaser hereby agrees that Seller shall have the right to encumber the Property with a new mortgage or deed of trust in connection with such refinancing at any time between the Effective Date and the Closing Date; provided, however, that any such new deed of trust or mortgage shall be released at the Closing pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4.7. Other than the above-referenced refinancing, utility servitudes and temporary construction servitudes granted by Seller in the ordinary course of business, Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts as provided in Section 7.1) unless Purchaser approves such lien or encumbrance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder.

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 the Seller the deliveries specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price at the time required by Section 2.2.4 and close on the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date, then, immediately and without notice or cure, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property. If, Purchaser defaults in any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract, and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Seller, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Seller, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property. The Deposit is liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser's indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property or breach of a representation or warranty. Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

10.2

Seller Default. If Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Contract, including to sell the Property as required by this Contract and such default continues for more than 10 days after written notice from Purchaser, then, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, either (a) this Contract shall terminate, and all payments and things of value, including the Deposit, provided by Purchaser hereunder shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return or certify the destruction of all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit) and Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit), its direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with this transaction, which damages shall not exceed $25,000 in aggregate, or (b) Purchaser may seek specific performance of Seller's obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages). Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence. SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER, OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.

ARTICLE XI
RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

11.1

Major Damage. In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, and the cost of repair is more than $250,000, then 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 terminate this Contract by delivering written notice to Seller. In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within the foregoing 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding any such damage or destruction, and Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by Seller) of Seller's rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchase shall receive all remaining insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim (plus a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith and not spent by Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs).

11.2

Minor Damage. In the event that the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, and the cost of repair is equal to or less than $250,000, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, Seller shall make such repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on the Property if such repairs can be reasonably effected before the Closing. Subject to Section 11.3, if Seller is unable to effect such repairs prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by Seller) of Seller's rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchase shall receive all remaining insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim (plus a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith and not spent by Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs).

11.3

Repairs. To the extent that Seller elects to commence any repair, replacement or restoration of the Property prior to Closing, then 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. To the extent that any repair, replacement or restoration of a casualty has been commenced prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include, and Purchaser shall assume at Closing, all construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such repair, replacement or restoration. Purchaser shall have the right to approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any contract for such repair, replacement or restoration to be assumed by Purchaser; provided, however, if Purchaser refuses to consent to such a contract, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

ARTICLE XII
EMINENT DOMAIN

12.1

Eminent Domain. In the event that, at the time of Closing, any material part of the Property is (or previously has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's option, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within 10 days after Purchaser's receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event, and if Purchaser so terminates this Contract, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit hereunder (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return or certify the destruction of all Third-Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit). If Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within such 10-day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price and Purchaser shall receive the full benefit of any condemnation award. It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that this section shall in no way apply to customary dedications for public purposes which may be necessary for the development of the Property.

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 Seller so elects to close the transfer of the Property as an exchange, then (i) Seller, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to transfer the 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 Seller pursuant to this Contract; (iii) 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 Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom 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 the Property as an exchange, then (i) Purchaser, at its sole option, may delegate its obligations to acquire the Property under this Contract, and may assign its rights to receive the Property from 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 Seller; and (v) the closing of the acquisition of the Property by Purchaser or the exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be, shall be undertaken by direct deed from Seller (or, if applicable, from other affiliates of Seller whom 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, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date (as extended pursuant to the second or third sentences of 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 of Officers, Trustees or Directors of Seller's Partners. Purchaser acknowledges that this Contract is entered into by Seller which is an Illinois general partnership, and Purchaser agrees that none of Seller's Indemnified Parties shall have any personal liability under this Contract or any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract.

13.21

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

13.22

ADA Disclosure. Purchaser acknowledges that the Property may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the federal Fair Housing Act (the "FHA"). The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of "public accommodations" remove barriers in order to make the Property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons. Seller makes no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to the Property's compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Seller expressly disclaims any such 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 Seller's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Seller's sole discretion. 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 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 Seller acknowledge and agree that the relationship established between the parties pursuant to this Contract is only that of a seller and a purchaser of property. Neither Purchaser nor Seller is, nor shall either hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.

13.25

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 Seller from seeking and obtaining equitable relief on a temporary or permanent basis, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or similar equitable relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in which the Property is located (to which all parties hereto consent to venue and jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action or other court proceeding in order to protect or enforce the rights of such party under this Contract or to prevent irreparable harm and injury. The court's jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited only to the temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable relief sought; all other claims initiated under this Contract between the parties hereto shall be determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 13.25.

13.26

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

13.27

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

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 the Property at the Closing, including, without limitation, any assignee(s) of the original Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.3 of this Contract. In the event that "Purchaser" has any obligations or makes any covenants, representations or warranties under this Contract, the same shall be made jointly and severally (in solido) by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that Seller receives notice from any entity being a Purchaser hereunder, the same shall be deemed to constitute notice from all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that any entity being a Purchaser hereunder takes any action, breaches any obligation or otherwise acts pursuant to the terms of this Contract, the same shall be deemed to be the action of the other entity(ies) being a Purchaser hereunder and the action of "Purchaser" under this Contract. In the event that Seller is required to give notice or take action with respect to Purchaser under this Contract, notice to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder or action with respect to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder shall be a notice or action to all entities being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that any entity being a Purchaser hereunder desires to bring an action or arbitration against Seller, such action must be joined by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder in order to be effective. In the event that there is any agreement by Seller to pay any amount pursuant to this Contract to Purchaser under any circumstance, that amount shall be deemed maximum aggregate amount to be paid to all parties being a Purchaser hereunder and not an amount that can be paid to each party being a Purchaser hereunder. In the event that Seller is required to return the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit or other amount to Purchaser, Seller shall return the same to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder and, upon such return, shall have no further liability to any other entity being a Purchaser hereunder for such amount. The foregoing provisions also shall apply to any documents, including, without limitation, the General Assignment and Assumption and the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Security Deposits, executed in connection with this Contract and the transaction(s) contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE XIV
LEAD–BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE

14.1

Disclosure. Seller 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 Deed to Purchaser.

14.2

Consent Agreement. Testing (the "Testing") has been performed at the Property with respect to lead-based paint. Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. performed the Testing and reported its findings in its report dated May 14, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Report"). The Report certifies the Property as lead-based paint free. By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Report, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Statement attached hereto as Exhibit H, and acknowledges receipt of that certain Consent Agreement (the "Consent Agreement") by and among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (executed December 19, 2001), the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (executed January 2, 2002), and Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO") (executed December 18, 2001). Because the Property has been certified as lead-based paint free, Seller is not required under the Consent Agreement to remediate or abate any lead-based paint condition at the Property prior to the Closing. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, the Purchaser and the Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions contained herein related thereto and (2) that Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14.2 shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated, the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.
