declines to cure, within two (2) days after receipt by Purchaser of Seller's
response to Purchaser's notice Purchaser shall deliver notice to Seller in which
Purchaser elects, with respect to such items, either to :
(i) accept the Property with such matters as Seller declines to cure
(which shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions) with no change in the terms
hereof; or
(ii) decline to accept the Property with such matters.
If Purchaser shall decline to accept the Property pursuant to option (y), or if
Purchaser fails timely to give a notice of election, then, except as expressly
provided herein, this Agreement shall be null and void and Escrow Agent shall
make a Refund, whereupon, except as expressly set forth herein, the parties
hereto shall have no further rights, duties, obligations or liabilities to one
another hereunder.
SECTION 7. PROPERTY INSPECTION.

notice, Seller agrees that all Operating Documents shall be available for
Purchaser's inspection. In the event that Purchaser does not terminate this

party hereto shall have any further liability to any party hereto and
Purchaser shall promptly return any and all third party reports in the
possession of Purchaser and supplied by Seller and relating to Seller
and/or Purchaser to Seller. Failure timely to notify Seller of termination
of this Agreement under this subparagraph (b) shall constitute a waiver of
the condition contained in this subparagraph and the acceptance of the
Property as suitable for Purchaser's purposes.
(c) Notwithstanding clause (b) above, if Purchaser is not satisfied,
in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) with the matters set forth on and
relating to the Title Policy and /or the Survey, Purchaser shall have the

responsible for all expenses for the Property attributable to the
period prior to Closing, and Purchaser will be responsible for said
expenses attributable to the period after Closing, no capital expenses
will be prorated, Seller will pay for any prepayment fees, recording

Promptly upon request of Seller, after Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller a report setting forth the status of its collection of delinquent
rents as of sixty (60)calendar days after Closing. The terms of this
subparagraph (d) shall survive the Closing.

given, with respect to all or a portion of the Property, Seller shall promptly
notify Purchaser thereof. If such damage or destruction is repaired at the sole
cost and expense of Seller prior to Closing to the same condition existing prior
to such damage or destruction, or if such damage or destruction does not exceed
$100,000 (as determied by Seller's insurer in its reasonable discretion) and
such damage or destruction is fully covered by Seller's insurance (provided,
that if such damage or destruction is not fully covered by Seller's insurance
Seller may, at its option, pay or credit Purchaser in any amount equal to the
shortfall, in which event such damage or destruction will be deemed fully
covered by Seller's insurance), or if the value of any land taken or to be taken
does not eceed $100,000 or does not in Purchaser's reasonable judgment
constitute a material part of the Property or does not adversely affect the
existing zoning with respect to the Property , Purchaser shall be bound to
purchase the Property without reduction in the Purchase Price. In the event of
(a) damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Property of $100,000 or
more and Seller fails to repair such damage or destruction as provided herein,

respect to all or any part of the Property the value of which exceeds $100,000,
Purchaser or Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice to the other on or before the Closing Date and in the event
Purchaser or Seller excercises such right to terminate this Agreement, the
Escrow Agent shall make a Refund, whereupon no party hereto shall have
rights,obligations or liabilities hereunder. In the event of any unrepaired
damage or eminent domain proceedings which would permit termination hereunder
and neither party elects to terminate, or if Purchaser is required to proceed
permit termination hereunder , the Deed shall be subject to any such eminent
domain proceeding, such taking shall be deemed a Permitted Exxception, and
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on the Closing Date an assignment in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to any eminent
11
domain, award or insurance claim (including rental insurance except for any
rental insurance proceeds attributable to the period prior to Closing), and any
deductible with respect thereto, to the extent not previously applied to
restoration of the Property, but the Purchase Price shall not be affected by any
such condemnation, damage or destruction (although in the event of a casualty,
Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to any
deductible on Seller's casualty insurance).
SECTION 16. SELLER'S REMEDY. The parties acknowledge that it is impossible
to ascertain Seller's damages in the event of default by Purchaser hereunder.
Accordingly, the parties agree that if Purchaser defaults in performing under
this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the Xxxxxxx Money and interest
thereon, not as a penalty, but for full liquidation of damages, Seller and
Purchaser acknowledging and agreeing that it is difficult or impossible to
determine the actual damages Seller would suffer from Purchaser's breach hereof
and that the agreed upon liquidated damages are not punitive or penalties and
are just, fair and reasonable, all in accordance with O.C.G.A.section13-6-7,
as amended, and Seller shall have no further remedies hereunder.
SECTION 17. PURCHASER'S REMEDIES. In the event that Seller defaults in
performing under this Agreement or should any of Seller's warranties or

Purchaser shall elect either of the following as Purchaser's sole and exclusive
remedy for such breach:
(a) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller on
or before the Closing Date, in which case Escrow Agent shall make a Refund
whereupon Purchaser shall have not further rights or remedies with respect
to Seller or this Agreement; or;
(b) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Seller, in
which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted Seller's title to the
Property (except for title matters Seller has expressly agrred to cure) and
to have waived any action for damages against Seller by reason of such
breach.
Closing by Purchaser shall conclusively be deemed a waiver of any
breach of representation or warranty of which Purchaser has knowledge, or
of any default or of any unfulfilled condition of Closing, except such
matters which Seller has expressly agreed to cure after having received
written notice from Purchaser.
SECTION 18. REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS. If, and only if, the sale of the
Property shall be completed and closed in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, at Closing, Seller shall pay The Apartment Group (hereinafter called

agreements with any other individual or entity in connection therewith.

party with whom Purchaser has dealt and there is no other party entitled to be
paid Broker's Compensation, and that Purchaser has not had any dealings or
agreements with any other individual or entitiy in connection therewith. If any
person or entity other than Seller's Broker shall assert a claim to such a fee
or compensation against either Seller or Purchaser on account of alleged
employment as a finder, consultant or broker, then the party to this Agreement
by, through or under whom the person or entity claims such employment shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party against and from any and all
such claims and all costs, expenses and liabilities
12

thereon, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. Seller's Broker agrees
that without the prior written consent of Seller and Purchaser, Seller's Broker
