additional instructions and this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner

calculating prorations under Article 10 below, and provided further that
Buyer shall have the right, exercisable on written notice given to Seller
not less than five (5) days prior to the date originally scheduled as the
Closing Date, to extend such Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days to
accommodate the requirements of Buyer's lender and provided further that
in no event shall the Closing Date occur after February 1, 1999, unless
the parties otherwise agree in writing. If the Closing does not occur on
or before the Closing Date, then Buyer or Seller, if not in default under
this Agreement, may at any time thereafter give written notice to Escrow
Holder to cancel the Escrow whereupon the Escrow and the subject
transaction shall become terminated and Escrow Holder shall distribute
all monies and documents in Escrow Holder's possession in accordance with

are subject to satisfaction or Buyer's written waiver of the following
conditions precedent (collectively, "Buyer's Conditions") on or before the
expiration of the applicable contingency period provided for below
(collectively, the "Contingency Periods"). If the respective Buyer's Condition
has not been satisfied or waived in writing, then at Buyer's option, this
Agreement and the Escrow shall be deemed terminated and neither Buyer nor Seller
shall have any further obligation to the other party under this Agreement
(except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to
events occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive any

5.1. DUE DILIGENCE DELIVERIES BY SELLER. Buyer
acknowledges that Seller prior to the date of this Agreement has provided
to Buyer copies of, or access to, the items identified on EXHIBIT C
attached hereto and that such items are the only items that Buyer has
requested from Seller for Buyer's examination and review of the Property
and all aspects thereof.

opportunity to investigate and review and accordingly approves) the
physical, developmental and economic status and feasibility of the
Property, including without limitation marketing studies, land use and

inspections and environmental surveys with respect to the Property. In
order to facilitate Buyer's investigation and analysis, Seller
-3-
has granted and will continue to grant to Buyer the right to enter the
Property at any time during normal business hours upon forty-eight (48)
hours' prior written notice to Seller, to conduct such inspections,
reviews, examinations and tests on the Property as Buyer has deemed
necessary or desirable to investigate the physical condition of the
Property, as well as access to relevant information relating to the
Property within Seller's possession or under Seller's control (but Seller
has made and now makes no representation or warranty regarding the
accuracy or completeness of such information). Buyer further
acknowledges that it is acquiring the Property in its "as-is" condition
in accordance with Section 19 below.
5.3. SELLER'S CONSENT. Seller shall have obtained
Seller's Consent in accordance with Article 22 below.
5.4. STATUS OF TITLE AND SURVEY. If Buyer intends to
obtain extended coverage title insurance in connection with this
Agreement, then Buyer shall obtain at its sole cost and expense an as-
built survey of the Property complying with 1992 ALTA/ACSM minimum
standards (the "Survey"). Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has approved the
exceptions to title shown in that certain preliminary title report or
owner's title commitment for the Property issued by the Title Company
(the "Title Report") and matters shown on the Survey (if any) other than
those exceptions or matters identified on EXHIBIT D attached hereto
("Disapproved Title Exceptions"), which Disapproved Title Exceptions
Seller shall remove (or cause to be removed) as exceptions to title prior
to the Closing. Buyer shall have the continuing right to update the
Title Report and the Survey from time to time and to give Seller notice
of any additional Disapproved Title Exceptions first arising after the
date of the Title Report or the Survey, as the case may be. Within ten
(10) business days following receipt of any written notice of such
additional Disapproved Title Exceptions from Buyer, Seller shall notify
Buyer in writing of which of such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions
Seller will agree to cure on or before the Closing Date; provided,
however, that Seller shall satisfy and correct, at or before the Closing,
any Disapproved Title Exceptions constituting a mortgage, deed of trust
or other lien encumbering all or any portion of the Property (other than
liens created by Buyer's acts or omissions) or otherwise created by
Seller's acts or omissions on or after the date of this Agreement
("Mandatory Cure Items"). In the event Seller elects not to satisfy or
cure any such additional Disapproved Title Exceptions of which it is so
notified, then, within ten (10) business days following receipt of
Seller's election, Buyer shall by written notice to Seller elect one of
the following:
5.4.1. To waive such additional Disapproved Title
Exceptions and to close the transaction contemplated hereby in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however,
that with respect to any Disapproved Title Exception which is a
Mandatory Cure Item, Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy or remove
any such Disapproved Title Exception(s) at the Closing and to
credit against the Purchase Price the amount required to satisfy
or remove such Mandatory Cure Item(s); or
-4-
5.4.2. To terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer
shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit and the
parties hereto shall have no further rights, duties or obligations
under this Agreement, except those rights, duties and obligations
that, by the express terms hereof, survive termination of this
Agreement.
5.5. OWNER'S POLICY. On or before the Closing, the Title
Company must be prepared to issue to Buyer an Owner's Policy of Title
Insurance for the Property (the "Title Policy") effective as of the
Closing, insuring Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price that title to
the Property is vested in Buyer at the Closing, subject only to (a)
standard pre-printed exceptions (other than those preprinted exceptions
that can be removed with a customary seller's affidavit), (b) liens for
taxes and assessments not yet delinquent, (c) those exceptions to title
described in the corresponding Title Report other than the Disapproved
Title Exceptions and (d) exceptions created or suffered by Buyer. Buyer
may require an extended coverage policy without a generic survey
exception only if Buyer can timely provide Title Company with all
information necessary in order for the extended coverage policy to be
issued on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall not suffer any
liability in connection with its failure to remove any title exception;
Buyer's sole remedy for Seller's failure to cause the elimination of a
Disapproved Title Exception shall be termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause the removal of any
Mandatory Cure Item at or before the Closing.
5.6. SELLER'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. Seller has not
(i) made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) filed a

operated and managed in the past.
14.12. AVAILABILITY OF AGREEMENTS. Seller shall make
available to Buyer for review at Seller's offices at the Property during
normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, full, true,
correct and complete copies of all Service Contracts, Leases and all
written amendments, modifications, agreements, or understandings relating
thereto as are in effect from time to time while this Agreement remains
in effect.
14.13. EMPLOYEE LIABILITY. To Seller's actual knowledge,
after the Closing Buyer shall not be obligated to continue the employment

14.14. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. To Seller's actual knowledge,
Seller has not generated, disposed of, released or found any Hazardous

knowledge of the existence of any areas for the generation, storage or

Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 7401, ET SEQ.; and any other
legislation or ordinance of any Governmental Authority identified by its
terms as pertaining to hazardous materials, waste or asbestos
("Environmental Laws").
14.15. AGREEMENTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY. Subject to the
provisions in Section 14.11 hereof, Seller hereby covenants and agrees
with Buyer that, so long as this Agreement remains in full force and
effect, Seller will not sell, assign, convey (absolutely or as security),
grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber or dispose of, the
Property (or any interest or estate therein) without the prior written
consent of the Buyer. Seller has not executed and will execute no
exclusive or other brokerage agreements which will survive the Closing
Date. Seller shall not enter into Service Contracts from and after the
date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer, which
consent may be granted or withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute
discretion; provided, however, that Seller hereby covenants and agrees
with Buyer that, so long as this Agreement remains in full force and
effect, Seller will continue to operate and manage the Property in
substantially the same manner as it has been operated and managed in the
past.
14.16. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. Seller shall maintain in
full force and effect all existing policies of insurance relating to the
Property through and including the Closing Date, shall pay all premiums
with respect to such insurance on or before the due date therefor and
shall not knowingly take any action which would cause such insurance not
to remain in full force and effect or fail knowingly to take any action
required to maintain such insurance in full force and effect.
14.17. FIXTURES. All fixtures and articles of Personal
Property included in and which are part of the sale are now, and at the
Closing will be, owned by Seller free and clear of any conditional bills
of sale, chattel mortgages, security agreements or financing statements,
or other liens of security interest created by Seller, and shall be
transferred to Buyer as a part of the transaction.
14.18. SECURITY DEPOSITS. Security deposits shown in the
certified rent roll are a full, true and complete list of all of the
security deposits for the Property and are now held by Seller and
Seller's property manager under the terms of the Leases, and none have
been forfeited by any existing tenant.
14.19. NON-FOREIGN STATUS. Seller is not a "foreign
person" as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and Buyer has
no obligation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 to withhold
and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service any part of the "amount
realized" by Seller in the transaction contemplated hereby (as such term
is defined in the regulations issued under Internal Revenue Code Section
1445).
14.20. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS RE-MADE AT
CLOSING. The foregoing warranties and representations are true, and the
foregoing covenants are in full
-13-
force and effect and binding on Seller as of the date hereof and shall
be in full force and effect and deemed to have been automatically
reaffirmed and restated by Seller as of the Closing Date.
For purposes of this Section 14, "Seller's actual knowledge" shall mean the
knowledge of (i) J. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, (ii) Xxxxx Xxxxxx and (iii) Xxx Xxxxxxxx
without any duty of investigation or inquiry and "notice" shall mean written
notice. The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive the Closing
for six (6) months, and any claim made by Buyer against Seller with respect
thereto must be asserted within such six-month period.
15. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The accuracy and
completeness of the following constitute a condition to the Closing, and Buyer
represents and warrants to Seller that the following is complete and accurate as
of the date of this Agreement and shall be complete and accurate as of the
Closing, and shall survive the Closing: Buyer is duly organized and validly
existing and is (or will at the Closing be) qualified to conduct its business
and has the legal power, right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All requisite
action (corporate, partnership, trust or otherwise) has been taken by Buyer in
connection with entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The individual executing this
Agreement on behalf of Buyer has the legal power, right and actual authority to
bind Buyer to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement and
all documents required by this Agreement to be executed by Buyer are and are
valid, legally binding obligations of and enforceable against Buyer in
accordance with their terms. The foregoing warranties and representations are
true, and the foregoing covenants are in full force and effect and binding on
Buyer as of the date hereof and shall be in full force and effect and deemed to
have been automatically reaffirmed and restated by Buyer as of the Closing Date.
16. CONDEMNATION. If all or any material portion of the Property is
taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking
which has not been consummated) before the Closing, then (a) Seller, if Seller
has actual knowledge thereof, shall notify Buyer of such fact and (b) Buyer
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Escrow
Holder and Seller given no later than thirty (30) business days after Seller has
given such notice. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a portion of the
Property shall not be deemed material unless the taking thereof diminishes the
rentable area of the building or the recreation facilities or restricts access
to the Property. If this Agreement is so terminated, then (i) Buyer shall pay
all costs associated with the cancellation of the Escrow pursuant to this
Section, (ii) neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or
obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent of any indemnities under
this Agreement with respect to events occurring before such termination, which
indemnities shall survive any such termination), and (iii) Escrow Holder shall,
without requiring any further instruction from Seller, immediately return to
Buyer the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon. If Buyer does not terminate
this Agreement within such thirty-day period, then (A) Buyer shall not
thereafter have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such taking
and (B) Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Closing in accordance with this
Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, except that
(1) the Property will not include the property so taken, (2) the Purchase Price
will be reduced
-14-
by the amount of any awards for such taking awarded to Seller as of the
Closing Date, and (3) Seller shall assign and turn over to Buyer, and Buyer
shall be entitled to receive and retain, all awards for such taking not yet
awarded as of the Closing.
17. DESTRUCTION. If the Property or any portion thereof is damaged
by fire or other casualty on or before the Closing Date, Seller immediately
shall notify Buyer of such damage. If the estimated cost to repair the damage
is less than the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) five percent (5%) of the
Purchase Price and does not eliminate or materially impair access to the
Property, Buyer and Seller shall proceed to the Closing in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, without modification of the terms of this Agreement, in
which event Buyer shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of all
insurance relating to such fire or other casualty. If the estimated cost to
repair the damage equals or exceeds the greater of (i) $400,000 and (ii) five
percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, Buyer may elect either (a) to terminate this
Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit (minus any escrow or title
cancellation fees), in which case neither party shall have any additional rights
or obligations under this Agreement, or (b) to proceed to the Closing in
accordance with this Agreement, without modification of the terms of this
Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to an assignment of the
proceeds of all insurance relating to such fire or other casualty, if any. Such
election shall be made by Buyer within thirty (30) business days following
Seller's notification to Buyer. Buyer's failure to elect to terminate this
Agreement within such thirty-day period shall conclusively be deemed an election
to proceed to the Closing.
18. BROKERS. Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants to
the other that no real estate or business broker, agent, finder, or other person
is responsible for bringing about or negotiating this Agreement and that such
party has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent, finder or person
relative to this Agreement in any manner. Each party to this Agreement shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party to this Agreement against
all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees and claims
arising from (a) any breach of such representation by such indemnifying party
set forth in the preceding sentence, and (b) any claims that may be made against
such indemnified party by any real estate broker, agent, finder or other person
alleging to have acted on behalf of or to have dealt with such indemnifying
party.
19. NO RELIANCE - AS-IS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN RELIANCE SOLELY ON:
(I) BUYER'S INSPECTION OF THE REAL PROPERTY, THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND THE
IMPROVEMENTS; (II) BUYER'S INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF THE TRUTH OF ANY
STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER; AND (III) THE
OPINIONS AND ADVICE OF CONSULTANTS AND ATTORNEYS ENGAGED BY BUYER CONCERNING THE
PROPERTY. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BEFORE ITS EXECUTION OF THIS
AGREEMENT BUYER SHALL HAVE PERFORMED OR WILL HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM
ALL OF ITS DUE DILIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS OF AND WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AS
BUYER DEEMS APPROPRIATE, INCLUDING ENGINEERING STUDIES, SOILS TESTS,
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEYS AND TESTING, PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS, ALTA OR OTHER SURVEYS
AND MARKET ANALYSES AS WELL AS BUYER'S EVALUATION OF THE CONDITION AND STATUS OF
-15-
THE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS AND THE OPERATION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
OF THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT
OR IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, AT THE CLOSING,
BUYER ACCEPTS THE PROPERTY AND ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY IN THEIR
"AS IS," "WHERE-IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" CONDITION OR STATUS AS OF THE
CLOSING DATE, INCLUDING SUCH MATTERS AS: SOILS AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITION,
TOPOGRAPHY, AREA AND CONFIGURATION OF THE REAL PROPERTY; THE AGE AND
CONDITION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY; THE EXISTENCE OF ANY
HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR MATERIALS, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR OTHER
MATTERS WHICH WOULD OR COULD NECESSITATE ABATEMENT OR REMEDIATION ACTION BY
THE PROPERTY'S OWNER; ANY PHYSICAL OR MECHANICAL DEFECTS IN THE IMPROVEMENTS
OR PERSONAL PROPERTY; ANY EASEMENT, LICENSE OR ENCROACHMENT WHICH IS NOT A
MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD, WHETHER OR NOT VISIBLE UPON INSPECTION OF THE
PROPERTY; THE ZONING AND OTHER LAND USE REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE
PROPERTY; AND ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE PROPERTY INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, VALUE, TITLE, INCOME, FEASIBILITY, COST, MARKETING AND INVESTMENT
RETURN. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SELLER IS NOT MAKING ANY EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY. IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT BY WAY OF LIMITATION OF THE
FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OF THE
DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO COMPLIANCE OF THE
IMPROVEMENTS WITH CURRENT BUILDING CODES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE
RELATING TO UPDATED OR REVISED STANDARDS FOR PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, STRUCTURAL
OR SEISMIC MATTERS. BUYER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS TO SELLER THAT BUYER HAS
NOT RELIED ON AND WILL NOT RELY ON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF SELLER NOT EXPLICITLY SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT.
20. INDEMNITY REGARDING INSPECTION. In consideration of Seller's
permission to Buyer and its agents to perform investigations and testing on and
about the Property prior to the Closing, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Seller and Seller's partners, and their respective officers, employees,
agents, contractors, successors, assigns, and affiliates (collectively, the
"Indemnitees"), and the Property from all claims, costs, liens, actions and
judgments (including attorneys' fees and other defense costs actually incurred
by Seller) resulting from Buyer's investigation of the Property or its attempts
to obtain any regulatory approvals in connection with the Property, or otherwise
caused by Buyer or any of its employees, agents or independent contractors,
except for the non-negligent release of Hazardous Materials already on the
Property occasioned thereby. Unless and until the Closing occurs, Buyer shall
maintain all the information which it obtains in connection with the Property in
strict confidence and shall not reveal any of such information to any party
other than those parties to which it may otherwise be required to disclose in
accordance with applicable law. Buyer shall, at Buyer's sole cost, promptly
repair any damage resulting from its activities on the Property and restore the
Property to substantially the same condition as before Buyer or any of its
agents first entered the Property. If the Closing does not occur on or before
the Closing Date for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by Seller,
Buyer shall provide Seller, at Seller's cost, copies of all third-party
engineering and environmental reports and materials derived from Buyer's
investigation of the
-16-
Property, concurrently with reimbursement by Seller of Buyer's out-of-pocket
costs in procuring such reports and materials.
21. BUYER'S REMEDIES. In the event the transaction contemplated
hereby is not consummated as a result of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer's
sole and exclusive remedies shall be either (i) to seek from Escrow Holder the
return of the Deposit and any other documents and funds then held by Escrow
Holder and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer's reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the purchase transaction
contemplated under this Agreement (but in no event to exceed one-fourth percent
(1/4%) of Purchase Price)or (ii) to seek specific performance of Seller's
obligations hereunder by delivering the Purchase Price into the Escrow;
provided, however, that as conditions precedent to such action for specific
performance, [A] no uncured default in the performance of Buyer's obligations
under this Agreement shall exist and no event shall have occurred which with the
passage of time or with notice, or both, could become such an event of default,
and [B] Buyer shall not seek to amend the Purchase Price in such action.
22. SELLER'S PARTNERS' APPROVAL. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Closing shall not occur unless and
until Seller shall have obtained written approval ("Seller's Consent") from
those partners of Seller (or those partners of the partners of Seller, as the
case may be) whose approval is legally required before Seller may sell the
Property to Buyer hereunder. Seller shall seek such approval immediately
after the Escrow Opening Date. If Seller's Consent is not obtained within
twenty-one (21) days after the Escrow Opening Date (as such period may be
extended by Seller at Seller's sole option for up to an additional forty (40)
days), Seller or Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice
delivered to the other before Seller's Consent is obtained, in which case
Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit and neither Buyer nor
Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement
(except to the extent of any indemnities under this Agreement with respect to
events occurring before such termination, which indemnities shall survive any
such termination and except that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer's
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket engineering and environmental
expenses (but in no event to exceed $3,600)).
23. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party to this Agreement shall execute
and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be
reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
24. COUNTERPARTS AND EXHIBITS. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together
constitute one document. All exhibits attached to and referenced in this
Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement.
25. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time and strict and punctual performance are of
the essence with respect to each provision of this Agreement.
26. ATTORNEY'S FEES. The prevailing party in any litigation,
arbitration, mediation, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding
("Proceeding") relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement
may recover from the unsuccessful party all costs, expenses and
-17-
actual attorney's fees (including expert witness and other consultants' fees
and costs) relating to or arising out of (a) the Proceeding (whether or not
the Proceeding proceeds to judgment), and (b) any post-judgment or post-award
proceeding including, without limitation, one to enforce or collect any
judgment or award resulting from the Proceeding. All such judgments and
awards shall contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such
subsequently incurred costs, expenses and actual attorney's fees.
27. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located. Each
party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal
jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this paragraph by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to its
address for the giving of notices set forth in this Agreement.
28. MODIFICATION. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing
executed by the party to this Agreement against whom enforcement of the
modification is sought.
29. PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS. This Agreement and all documents
specifically referred to and executed in connection with this Agreement: (a)
contain the entire and final agreement of the parties to this Agreement with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and (b) supersede all
negotiations, stipulations, understandings, agreements, representations and
warranties, if any, with respect to such subject matter, which precede or
accompany the execution of this Agreement.
30. INTERPRETATION. Whenever the context so requires in this
Agreement, all words used in the singular may include the plural (and vice
versa) and the word "person" includes a natural person, a corporation, a
firm, a partnership, a joint venture, a trust, an estate or any other entity.
The terms "includes" and "including" do not imply any limitation. Unless
"business day " is specified, the term "day" means a calendar day. The term
"business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or Federal or
other holiday in the State in which the Property is located. If the last day
for any act falls on a day other than a business day, the time for
performance shall be extended to the next business day. No remedy or
election under this Agreement is exclusive, but rather, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, each such remedy and election is cumulative with
all other remedies at law or in equity. The paragraph headings in this
Agreement (a) are included only for convenience, (b) do not in any manner
modify or limit any of the provisions of this Agreement and (c) may not be
used in the interpretation of this Agreement. Each provision of this
Agreement is valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If any provision of this Agreement (or the application of such provision to
any person or circumstance) is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons
or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.
31. SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST AND ASSIGNS. Buyer may not assign its
rights under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written
consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute
discretion; provided, however, that Buyer may assign
-18-
such rights to a subsidiary wholly-owned by Buyer upon written notice given
to Seller not less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing. No
assignment by Buyer of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless
Seller expressly agrees to such release in writing. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit
of the successors-in-interest and assigns of each party to this Agreement.
32. NOTICES. Each notice and other communication required or
permitted to be given under this Agreement ("Notice") must be in writing.
Notice is duly given to another party upon: (a) hand delivery to the other
party, (b) receipt by the other party when sent by facsimile to the address
and number for such party set forth below (provided, however, that the Notice
is not effective unless a duplicate copy of the facsimile Notice is promptly
given by one of the other methods permitted under this paragraph), (c) three
business days after the Notice has been deposited with the United States
postal service as first class certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, and addressed to the party as set forth below, or (d) the
next business day after the Notice has been deposited with a reputable
overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the party as set
forth below with next-business-day delivery guaranteed, provided that the
sending party receives a confirmation of delivery from the
delivery-service-provider.

accept or receive Notices to it that are given in accordance with this
paragraph. A party may change its address for purposes of this paragraph by
giving the other party(ies) written notice of a new address in the manner set
forth above.
33. WAIVER. Any waiver of a default or provision under this
Agreement must be in writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver of
any other default or provision concerning the same or any other provision of
this Agreement. No delay or omission by a party in the exercise of any of
its rights or remedies constitutes a waiver of (or otherwise impairs) such
right or remedy. A consent to or approval of an act does not waive or render
unnecessary the consent to or approval of any other or subsequent act.
34. DRAFTING AMBIGUITIES. Each party to this Agreement and its legal
counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement. The rule of construction that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party or in favor of the
party receiving a particular benefit under an
-20-
agreement shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or
any amendment to this Agreement.
35. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
to confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties to this
Agreement and their respective successors-in-interest and permitted assignees.
36. CONCURRENT CLOSING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Closing shall be subject to and contingent
upon, and shall occur concurrently with, the Closing of the purchase
transactions for the following properties between Seller (or entities
affiliated with Seller) and Buyer (the "Concurrent Closing Contingency"):
Autumn Heights, Creekside Oaks, Lakeview Village, Oaktree Village, Ponte
Vedra Beach Village I, Ponte Vedra Beach Village II, Rancho Antigua,
Shadowood Village, Skyline Village, Tierra Catalina, Village at the Foothills
I and Village at the Foothills II & III, provided, however, that in the event
this purchase transaction or any of the other purchase transactions
enumerated above is terminated as a result of (i) condemnation or (ii) damage
or destruction in accordance with the applicable purchase agreement, such
purchase transaction(s) shall not be taken into account in determining
whether the Concurrent Closing Contingency shall have been satisfied (unless
the aggregate number of purchase transactions so terminated is two or more,
in which event the Concurrent Closing Contingency shall be deemed not to have
been satisfied). In addition, in the event this purchase transaction or any
of the other purchase transactions enumerated above does not close as a
result of a default by Buyer in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other respective purchase agreement, Seller shall be
entitled (but not obligated) to exercise its rights under Section 12 above
and the corresponding provisions of each such purchase agreement even though
the Concurrent Closing Contingency shall not have been satisfied.
37. EXCLUSIVITY. So long as this Agreement is in effect, Seller
shall not solicit, negotiate, offer or accept an offer for the purchase of the
Property (or any interest therein) for sale or contract to sell the Property (or
any interest therein) to any party other than Buyer or negotiate, solicit or
entertain any offers to purchase or sell the Property (or any interest therein).
38. CONFIDENTIALITY. Buyer and Seller agree that all documents and
information concerning the Property delivered to Buyer, the subject matter of
this Agreement and all negotiations shall remain confidential, and neither party
shall disclose any terms of this Agreement without the prior approval of the
other party except as may be required by law. Buyer and Seller shall be
entitled to disclose such information only to those parties required to know it,
including without limitation employees of either of the parties, consultants,
attorneys and accountants engaged by either Buyer or Seller, and prospective or
existing investors and lenders. This Section 38 shall expire upon the earlier
of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
