2.3 Escrow Provisions Regarding Deposit.

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.

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 Purchaser or Seller’s Representative makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other parties of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from another 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.

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.

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 (when delivered in accordance with Section 2.2.2) shall be non-refundable in the event of a default by Purchaser as set forth in Section 10.2 (but otherwise shall be refundable as expressly provided in this Agreement), and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property 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 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. Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of the Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to the Property or other property of Seller or other persons. All information made available by Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its Inspections shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, provided that Purchaser may disclose the terms and conditions of this Contract (a) as required by law, (b) to consummate the terms of this Contract, or any financing relating thereto, or (c) to Purchaser’s or Seller’ lenders, attorneys and accountants 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 Deeds 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 reasonably 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, 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 the Property, and any Inspections or other matters performed by Purchaser with respect to the Property during the Feasibility Period or otherwise. Purchaser shall, however, not be liable for any damages incurred by Seller resulting from the mere discovery by Purchaser of a pre-existing condition at or with regard to the Property; provided, however, that, if Purchaser proceeds with acquisition of the Property after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser shall accept the Property with any such pre-existing conditions and assume any liabilities associated therewith.
3.4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on the Property without Seller’s Representative’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s Representative’s sole discretion. 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 the Property), investigations and other matters that in Seller’s Representative’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 commercially reasonable 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 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. Purchaser shall deliver proof of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 to Seller (in the form of a certificate of insurance) prior to the earlier to occur of (i) Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Consultants’ entry onto any of the Property, 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 5 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”) relating to the Property 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 5-day period, Seller may deliver some or all of its Materials to Purchaser. 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 Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 3.2. In addition to the items set forth on Schedule 3.5, no later than 5 days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided under this Section 3.5.1) rent rolls for the Property listing the move-in date, monthly base rent payable, lease expiration date and unapplied security deposit for each Lease (each a “Rent Roll” and collectively, the “Rent Rolls”). The Rent Rolls shall be part of the Materials for all purposes under this Contract and Seller make no representations or warranties regarding the Rent Rolls other than the express representation set forth in Section 6.1.7. Seller shall update the Rent Rolls in accordance with Section 5.2.13.
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 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 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 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. Nothing herein shall limit in any way Seller’ Representations or Purchaser’s rights with respect thereto.
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 (a “Property Contracts Notice”) specifying the Property Contracts of 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 Seller’s obligations under such Terminated Contract as of the Closing Date), (b) if any the Property Contracts 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, premium or damages, including liquidated damages, for cancellation, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees, penalties or damages, including liquidated damages. If Purchaser fails to deliver the Property Contracts Notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, there shall be no Terminated Contracts and Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts of Seller at the Closing. To the extent that the Property Contracts to be assumed by Purchaser (including the Property Contracts that, because of advance notice requirements, will be temporarily assumed by Purchaser pending the effective date of termination after the Closing Date) is either (i) assignable but requires the applicable vendor to consent to the assignment or assumption of the Property Contract by Seller to Purchaser, or (ii) is not assignable (either by its terms or applicable law) 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 the Property Contract) and Seller shall reasonably assist Purchaser with obtaining any such Required Assignment Consent. 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. Seller shall cause all property management and leasing agreements with respect to the Property to be terminated as of Closing at Seller’ cost and expense. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that after Closing Purchaser may desire to terminate that certain Laundry Room(s) Lease Agreement (the "Laundry Room Contract") between Mac-Gray Services, Inc. and OP Property Management, LLC, as authorized agent of Seller, dated July 15, 2005. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall be credited with an amount equal to $1,500, which amount shall compensate Purchaser for all costs that Purchaser may incur if Purchaser terminates the Laundry Room Contract and shall, subject to the prorations in Section 5.4, be in full satisfaction of Seller's obligations with respect to the Laundry Room Contract.

TITLE
4.1 Title Documents. Within 5 calendar days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser 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 promulgated by the Florida Department of Insurance, together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with the Title Commitment, referred to herein as the “Title Documents”). Seller shall be responsible only for the costs relating to procurement of the Title Commitment and payment of the premium for the Title Policy for the Property. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of all other costs relating to procurement of the Title Policy, and any requested endorsements with respect to the Property.
4.2 Survey. Within 7 calendar days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any existing survey of the Property (the “Existing Survey”) which 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’s Representative no later than 10 calendar days after the Effective Date. Seller also independently may elect to order a new or updated survey of the Property either before or after the Effective Date (each 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 Seller 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 by Seller or requested by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2.
4.3 Objection and Response Process.
4.3.1 On or before the date which is twenty (20) 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 any Title Documents or Surveys to which Purchaser objects (the “Objections”). If Purchaser fails to tender an Objection Notice with respect to the 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 the Property. On or before the date which is twenty five (25) days after the Effective Date (the “Response Deadline”), if Seller has received an Objection Notice Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, give Purchaser notice (the “Response Notice”) of those Objections which Seller is willing to cure, if any. 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 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, in which event the 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 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 the Property, subject only to resolution, if any, of the Objections as set forth in the Response Notice for the Property (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without any resolution of the Objections).
4.3.2 If any Title Commitment or Survey for the Property is re-issued or updated on or after the expiration of the Feasibility Period and discloses any additional matters not shown on the original Title Commitment or Survey that are material and adverse to the ownership or operation of the Property, then Purchaser shall have three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such updated Title Commitment to object to such matters (if Purchaser does not object within such period, the new matters shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions” hereunder). Seller then shall have three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such objections to provide a Response Notice (if at all) as set forth in Section 4.3.1 (Seller’s failure to provide a Response Notice shall be deemed a refusal to cure). If Seller has refused (or is deemed to have refused) to cure such matters (which cure may include, if selected by Seller in Seller’s sole discretion, by title endorsement), then Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in the second to last sentence of Section 4.3.1, which rights of termination shall be exercised (if at all) within 3 Business Days after receipt of Seller’s Response Notice for such new matters (or if there is no Seller's Response, within nine (9) Business Days after the Purchaser's receipt of the updated Title Commitment). (The updated Title Commitment shall be part of the Title Documents for all purposes under this Contract.).
4.4 Permitted Exceptions. The Deed for the 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 the Property, other than (a) those Objections, if any, which Seller has agreed to cure pursuant to the Response Notice under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5, (b) mechanics’ or materialmens liens and (c) taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing, (d) the standard exception regarding the rights of parties in possession which shall be limited to those parties in possession as tenants only pursuant to the Leases, and (e) the standard exception pertaining to taxes which shall be limited to taxes and assessments payable in the year in which the Closing occurs (which may or may not yet be due and payable) and subsequent taxes and assessments;
4.4.2 Intentionally left blank;
4.4.3 Intentionally left blank;
4.4.4 Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances;
4.4.5 Any defects in or objections to title to the Property, or title exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through or under Purchaser; and
4.4.6 Intentionally left blank.
4.5 Existing Deed of Trust. It is understood and agreed that, whether or not Purchaser gives an Objection Notice with respect thereto, any deeds of trust and/or mortgages which secure a Note against the Property (collectively, a “Deed of Trust”) shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions for the 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.
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.

The Closing shall occur on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Feasibility Period (the “Closing Date”) through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means; provided, however, that in the event Purchaser elects to close on a date that is prior to the Closing Date specified above, within ten (10) Business Days of any such adjusted Closing Date proposed by Purchaser, Purchaser shall give Seller prior written notice of such election so that Seller may properly notify Lender in connection with the Loan Payoff, and Seller's obligation to close on such adjusted Closing Date shall be subject to Lender's and Lender's servicer's ability to accommodate the same. Provided that Purchaser is not in default under the terms of this Contract, Purchaser shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date to December 30, 2008 by (i) delivering written notice to Seller no later than five (5) days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, and (ii) simultaneously with such notice to Seller, delivering to Escrow Agent the amount of $50,000.00, which amount when received by Escrow Agent shall be added to and become a part of the Deposit hereunder and shall be held, credited and disbursed in the same manner as provided in this Contract with respect to the Deposit.

5.4 Closing Prorations and Adjustments.
5.4.1 General. All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, collected rents, operating expenses, personal property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the 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 and submitted the same to Purchaser for review and reasonable approval. 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 for the Property), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Purchaser at Closing for the Property.
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 xxxxxxxx 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 its account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date.
5.4.4 Real Estate Taxes.
5.4.4.1 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 on 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 102.5% of the figures from the preceding year (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount). The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing.
5.4.4.2 Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may have filed (or may file) an appeal (the “Appeal”) with respect to real estate ad valorem or other similar property taxes applicable to the Property (the “Property Taxes”).
iv. If Seller does not elect to continue the Appeal, then, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it may continue, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to reasonably process the Appeal to conclusion with the applicable taxing authority (including any further appeals which Purchaser deems reasonable to pursue). In the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Year in which Closing occurs, then Purchaser and Seller shall share any Refund on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of days in the Tax Year of Closing that each held title to the Property) after first reimbursing each of Purchaser and Seller for their respective Third-Party Costs incurred in connection with the Appeal. If Third-Party Costs equal or exceed the amount of the Award, then the Award shall be applied to such Third-Party Costs on a pro rata basis, with each of Purchaser and Seller receiving a portion of the Award equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the respective party’s Third-Party Costs, and the denominator of which is the total of both parties’ Third-Party Costs, and (ii) the amount of the Award.
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 to Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to xxxx Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents without obligation to incur out-of-pocket costs or to terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing Tenant or evict any Tenant from the Property. 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 terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property or to incur any costs not paid by Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this provision to the contrary but subject to Seller’ right to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents in accordance with this Section, Purchaser's obligation to collect Uncollected Rents shall be limited to Uncollected Rents of not more than 60 days past due and Purchaser's collection of rents shall be applied, first, towards current rent due from and after Closing and owing under the Leases, and, second, to Uncollected Rents.
5.4.6.2 At Closing, with respect to the Property, 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 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”) plus pet fees, if any. Seller shall not apply any Tenant Deposits to the Leases if any such Tenants are still in possession under their Leases as of the Closing Date, unless any such Tenants were in default under their Leases prior to the Closing Date and Seller cured such defaults by the application of any such Tenants’ Deposits. 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.

If at any time after the Records Hold Period, Purchaser desires to dispose of the Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser must first provide 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 Property (or such other location where such records are then stored) and remove or copy those of the Property-Related Files and Records that Seller desires to retain. Purchaser agrees (i) to include the covenants of this Section 5.4.13 pertaining to the 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 5.4.13 pertaining to the Property-Related Files and Records.

6.2 AS-IS. Except for Seller’s Representations, the Property is expressly purchased and sold “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” The Purchase Price for the 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 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 with respect to the Property). 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 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 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 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 Property, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller 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 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 of the 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.2 shall limit or impair Seller’s Representations or Seller’s covenants set forth in this Contract.
6.3 Survival of Seller’s Representations. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s Representations shall survive Closing for a period of 9 months (the “Survival Period”).

Further, the liability for Seller for breach of its Seller’s Representations shall be limited to, and capped at, $250,000. Such cap on liability shall apply for any individual breach or in the aggregate for all breaches of Seller’s Representations with respect to the 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 the Property 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 Regional Property Manager of Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager any individual personal liability.

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 by Purchaser 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.

If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Deposit (or any other deposit or payment required of Purchaser hereunder), (b) deliver to Seller the deliveries specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price for the Property 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’s Representative, 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.

Seller expressly waive 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 TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

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 (provided this shall not extend the Closing Date as set forth in Section 5.1 above), then, at Purchaser’s election and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either (a) seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract (but not damages), or (b) give a Termination Notice to Seller’s Representative of Purchaser’s decision to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent (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).

PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST ANY PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.

RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY
11.1 Major Damage. If 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 give a Termination Notice to Seller’s Representative. If this Contract is not terminated, 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 Seller 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 Purchaser 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). If this Contract is terminated because such damage, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit (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 a return of the Deposit).
11.2 Minor Damage. If the 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, Seller shall make such repairs 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 Seller 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 Purchaser shall receive all remaining insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim (plus a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price for the Property 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 by Seller prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts for the Property 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; provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right to reasonably approve all such construction and other contracts it shall be assuming at Closing prior to Seller’s execution thereof. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.
ARTICLE XII
EMINENT DOMAIN
12.1 Eminent Domain. If, at the time of Closing, any “material” part of the Property is (or after the Effective Date 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 a Termination Notice to Seller’s Representative. For purposes of this Section 12.1 only, an eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof shall be deemed “material” if it results in (a) a loss that is greater than $250,000 or (b) the taking of the access to the Property, as applicable. 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 Property and Purchaser shall receive the full benefit of any condemnation award. If this Contract is terminated in whole or in part from such condemnation, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit (subject to Purchaser’s obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return or certify the destruction all Third Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to a return of the Deposit).

13.19 1031 Exchange. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the purchase and sale of the Property may be part of a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code for either Purchaser or 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 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).

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”).

Purchaser shall not cause or allow this Contract or any contract or other document related hereto (except with respect to a specific performance action, as set forth in Section 10.2 above), 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 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 of Florida. The parties shall attempt to designate one arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association. If they are unable to do so within 30 days after written demand therefor, then the American Arbitration Association shall designate an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be final and binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees (including those of in-house counsel) and costs to the prevailing party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party which is not the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 13.25 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 of Florida (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’ employees or any employees located at the Property for potential employment, or (b) at any time, solicit any of Seller’ affiliates’ employees located at any other 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 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 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 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 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 Seller is required to return the 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.
13.30 Seller’ Several Obligations. Purchaser agrees that it shall look solely to 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 Seller or AIMCO.
13.31 Intentionally left blank.

13.33 Energy Efficiency Disclosure.

The foregoing notice is provided in order to comply with state law and is for informational purposes.
