2.1.2 Leases. All of Seller's right, title and interest, in all leases of the Real Property, including leases which may be made by Seller after the Effective Date and prior to Closing as permitted by this Agreement (the "Leases"), and all Tenant Deposits (as hereinafter defined) owned by Seller in connection therewith.
2.1.3 Tangible Personal Property. All of Seller's right, title and interest, without warranty other than Seller’s warranty against any party claiming by through or under Seller , in the equipment, machinery, furniture, furnishings, supplies and other tangible personal property, if any, owned by Seller and now or hereafter located in and used in connection with the operation or ownership of the Real Property (collectively the "Tangible Property"), but specifically excluding any items of personal property owned by tenants at or on the Real Property, any items of personal property owned by third parties and leased to Seller and items of personal property listed on Exhibit K (collectively, the "Excluded Property").

ARTICLE 3 - Xxxxxxx Money
9
3.1.Deposit and Investment of Xxxxxxx Money. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit the Initial Xxxxxxx Money with Escrow Agent less the Non-Refundable Amount which Purchaser has previously paid to Seller. If upon the expiration of the Inspection Period, this Agreement is still in force and effect, Purchaser shall, no later than one (1) business day after the last day of the Inspection Period, deposit the Additional Xxxxxxx Money, if any, as specified in Subsection 1.1.4 above, with Escrow Agent. The Non-Refundable Amount shall be retained by Seller if Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5 under a right of Purchaser to so terminate. Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to such account.
3.2.Independent Consideration. The Non-Refundable Amount shall be deemed to be independent consideration for Seller's performance under this Agreement ("Independent Consideration"), which shall be retained by Seller in all instances, but shall be applied against the Purchase Price as a part of the Xxxxxxx Money at Closing.
3.3.Form; Failure to Deposit. The Xxxxxxx Money and the Independent Consideration shall be in the form of a certified or cashier's check or the wire transfer to Escrow Agent of immediately available U.S. federal funds. If Purchaser fails to timely deposit any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money within the time periods required, and such failure shall not be cured within one (1) business day after the effective date of written notice of such failure by Seller to Purchaser, Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser, in which event any Xxxxxxx Money that has previously been deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent shall be delivered to Seller and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof.
3.4.Disposition of Xxxxxxx Money. The Xxxxxxx Money and the amount of the Repair Escrow Fund shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing. However, if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 4.5, Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Initial Xxxxxxx Money less the Non-Refundable Amount to Purchaser following receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice ( as defined in Section 4.5) from Purchaser notifying Seller that Purchaser is terminating this Agreement for a reason that entitles it to receive a refund of the Initial Deposit less the Non-Refundable Amount pursuant to Section 4.5. No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser by Escrow Agent if Purchaser terminates this Agreement for a reason that entitles Purchaser to receive a refund of the Initial Deposit less the Non-Refundable Amount prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 4.5. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.5 for any other reason, Escrow Agent is authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof following receipt by Escrow Agent and the Seller written notice of such termination from the terminating party. If a dispute arises between Seller and Purchaser regarding which party is entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money, Escrow Agent may interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the Xxxxxxx Money has been deposit. All attorneys' fees and costs and Escrow Agent's costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Xxxxxxx Money, or if the Xxxxxxx Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse proportion of such distribution.
In performing its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to any action taken or omitted (a) in good faith upon advice of its counsel or (b) in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in
10
this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, that Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable legal fees and disbursements, that may be imposed upon or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties hereunder, including without limitation, any litigation arising out of this Agreement.

13
4.9No Representation or Warranty by Seller.

Purchaser further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Seller. Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property Documents, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Purchaser shall rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the Property's physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto.

4.11Purchaser's Agreement to Indemnify. Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred) arising out of Purchaser's inspections or tests permitted under this Agreement or any violation of the provisions of Sections 4.3, 4.8 and 4.10; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller, Seller’s negligence or wilful misconduct or from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser's actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller. Purchaser also indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any claim or cause of action asserted by any tenant arising from Purchaser's breach of its obligation under Section 4.8 above to maintain the confidential nature of any Property Documents or other information relative to such tenant. Purchaser's obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

As additional consideration for the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, Purchaser must provide to Seller, immediately following the receipt of same by Purchaser, copies of any and all reports, tests or studies involving contamination of or other environmental concerns relating to the Property; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to cause any such tests or studies to be performed on the Property. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has
14
not made and does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth or accuracy of any such studies or reports. Notwithstanding Section 4.11 above, Purchaser shall have no liability or culpability of any nature as a result of having provided such information to Seller or as a result of Seller's reliance thereon or arising out of the fact that Purchaser merely conducted such tests or studies, so long as Purchaser's actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller.

Purchaser shall have the right, on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, to notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer may have to title to the Property as shown in the Title Commitment or the updated Survey of the Property. If Purchaser fails to give any such objections on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, all matters affecting title to and the updated Survey of the Property shown on the Title Commitment shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). If Purchaser does give notice of objections on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Seller shall have seven (7) business days after the effective date of such objections (the “Seller Election Deadline”) to elect to cure some, all or none of Purchaser’s title and survey objections; provided, however, if such objection is to a monetary lien of an ascertainable amount created by, through or under Seller, Seller agrees to cure same from the Purchase Price at Closing (collectively, the “Removable Liens”). Seller’s failure on or before the Seller Election Deadline to notify Purchaser of which objections it elects to cure shall be deemed to be an election by Seller to cure none of Purchaser’s objections, subject to Seller’s mandatory obligation to cure the Removable Liens. If Seller elects to cure less than all of the title and survey objections (subject to Seller’s mandatory obligation to cure the Removable Liens), it shall so notify Purchaser on or before the Seller Election Deadline, and Purchaser shall have seven (7) business days after the Seller Election Deadline to elect either (A) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement which specifically survive such termination), or (B) to close the purchase and sale contemplated hereby, in which case all of Purchaser’s uncured title and survey objections and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.3, any other title matters, shall be added to and be made a part of the Permitted Exceptions. The immediately preceding sentence shall not relieve Seller of its obligation to cure the Removable Liens. If Purchaser does not so respond within seven (7) business days after the Seller Election Deadline, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, and all rights and obligations hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement which specifically survive such termination). Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except past due real estate taxes and assessments and Removable Liens. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller
15
after the Effective Date without Purchaser's consent (but if requested, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The term "Permitted Exceptions" shall mean: the specific exceptions in the Title Commitment that the Title Company has not agreed to remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Title and Survey Review Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period; real estate taxes not yet due and payable (or for which Purchaser is otherwise responsible in accordance with Section 8.1); rights of tenants under the Leases; right of tenants or licensees under License Agreements; and any rights of licensees or other third parties under any Service Contracts not terminated as of Closing. If title defects arise after the effective date of the issuance of the Title Commitment but after expiration of the Inspection Period or, if the updated Survey is received after the expiration of the Inspection Period and discloses objectionable items not shown or disclosed on the existing Survey, Purchaser shall be entitled to object thereto within five (5) business days after becoming aware of such defect, but no later than August 20, 2014, and Seller shall have a reasonable time, not to exceed five (5) days, to elect the options set forth above upon the same conditions set forth above (unless such defect was caused by the act or failure to act of Seller, in which event Seller is obligated to cure same and the same shall be deemed to be a “Removable Lien”), and the Closing Date shall be extended to the extent necessary, not to exceed ten (10) days, to provide said additional time period.
5.4Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. In the event that the Title Company does not issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (06-17-06) for each Property in Tennessee and Kansas or a Texas Form T-1 Owner’s Title Insurance Policy for each Property in Texas in accordance with the respective Title Commitment, insuring Purchaser's title to the Real Property in the amount of the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property, subject only to the standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage contained in such policy and the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title Policy"), and provided that Purchaser is not in default hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money less the Non-Refundable Amount shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 6 - Operations and Risk of Loss
6.1Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:
6.1.1 Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements. Seller will perform its material obligations under the Leases, Service Contracts and License Agreements.
6.1.2 New Contracts. Except as provided in Subsection 6.1.4, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the payment of any termination penalty on not more than thirty (30) days' prior notice.
6.1.3 Maintenance of Improvements; Removal of Personal Property. Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, Seller shall maintain all casualty, liability and hazard insurance policies currently in force with respect to the Property, and maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) and in a manner consistent with Seller's maintenance of the Improvements during Seller's period of ownership. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property.
16
6.1.4 Leasing; License Agreements. Seller will continue to lease apartment units in the Improvements in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Seller’s current leasing guidelines. Additionally, Seller will continue to enter into License Agreements in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall notify Purchaser of any proposed material changes in Seller’s leasing guidelines for Purchaser’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed) prior to entering into a new lease, or an amendment, modification, or renewal of an existing Lease, for an apartment unit in the Improvements.
6.2Damage. If prior to Closing a Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, the Seller thereof shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller's estimation (the "Casualty Notice") as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.
6.2.1 Material. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of ten (10) business days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) business day period to make such election). Upon any such termination, the Xxxxxxx Money less the Non-Refundable Amount shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement within said ten (10) day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller's rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (but the amount of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the cost of repair or (B) the Purchase Price and a pro rata share of the rental or business loss proceeds, if any). For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Damage" and "Materially Damaged" means damage which, in the parties’ reasonable estimation, exceeds $1,000,000.00 per Property to repair or which, in the parties’ reasonable estimation, will take longer than ninety (90) days to repair.
6.2.2 Not Material. If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.
6.3Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i) above.
17
6.4Rent Ready Apartment Units. All apartment units located on the Property which have been vacated more than five (5) days prior to Closing shall be in “rent-ready” (as defined below) condition. If all such vacant apartment units are not in a rent-ready condition at Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price of $500.00 for each such unit vacant and not rent-ready.

Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of written notice. All such rights and obligations of this Section 8.3 shall survive the Closing.
8.4.Tenant Deposits. All tenant and licensee security deposits the “Tenant Deposits”) collected and not applied by Seller (and interest thereon if required by law or contract) shall be transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller's obligations related to the Tenant Deposits but only to the extent they are credited or transferred to Purchaser. Any and all deposits, bonuses or similar payments by any licensees under the License Agreements or any vendors under the Service Contracts shall be retained from Seller and not prorated or credited to Purchaser at Closing.
8.5.Commissions. Seller shall be responsible to Broker for a real estate sales commission at Closing (but only in the event of a Closing in strict accordance with this Agreement) in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and Broker.

22
payable to any person or entity in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and each agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless against the payment of any commission to any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Seller or Purchaser, as applicable.

The foregoing representations shall be automatically remade by any assignee of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1.
9.3Survival of Representations and Warranties; Limitation of Liability. The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 9 are made as of the date of this Agreement and, except where expressly limited to the Effective Date, are remade as of the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months (the "Survival Period"). Terms such as "to Seller's knowledge," "to the best of Seller's knowledge" or like phrases mean the actual present and conscious awareness or knowledge of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx who is the manager of a constituent entity in Seller, and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, COO of the property manager of the Property, without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that so qualifying Seller's knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on the part of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx or any other
25
officer or employee of Seller, on account of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein. Said terms do not include constructive knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge Seller or such persons do not have but could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry. No broker, agent, or party other than Seller is authorized to make any representation or warranty for or on behalf of Seller. Each party shall have the right to bring an action against the other on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only on the following conditions: (i) the party bringing the action for breach first learns of the breach after Closing and files such action within the Survival Period, and (ii) neither party shall have the right to bring a cause of action for a breach of a representation or warranty unless the damage to such party on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages from other breaches) equals or exceeds $50,000.00 per Property. Neither party shall have any liability after Closing for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the other party hereto had knowledge as of Closing. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees that the aggregate maximum liability of Seller for the alleged breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement is limited to Purchaser's actual damages incurred as a direct result of Seller's breach of any or all representations or warranties under this Agreement, up to, but not to exceed, $450,000.00 per Property. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for incidental, consequential, or punitive damages as a result of the breach of any or all representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing. Any breach of a representation or warranty that occurs prior to Closing shall be governed by Article 10.
ARTICLE 10- Default and Remedies
10.1Seller's Remedies. If Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy (except as provided in Sections 4.11, 8.5, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof), to terminate this Agreement and recover the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's damages resulting from Purchaser's default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary, in the event of Purchaser's default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property. In all other events Seller’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.1 and Sections 4.11, 8.5, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof. If Closing is consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement that expressly survives Closing.
10.2Purchaser's Remedies. If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller's representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such election, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money less the Non-Refundable Amount shall be returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, expenses paid (A) to Purchaser’s attorneys in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and matters related thereof, (B) to any prospective lender as an application or commitment fee, rate lock or other non-refundable fee, and (C) to unrelated and unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with the performance of examinations, inspections and/or investigations pursuant to this Agreement up to but not exceeding $3,000,000.00, (ii) bring a suit for specific performance or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this
26
Agreement if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before thirty (30) business days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within three (3) months following the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.2 and Sections 10.3 and 10.4. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
10.3Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such transaction.
10.4Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to Escrow Agent for holding the Xxxxxxx Money as well as any escrow cancellation fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment.
ARTICLE 11 - Disclaimers, Release and Indemnity
11.1Disclaimers By Seller. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that no Seller has at any time made and is not now making, and it specifically disclaims, any warranties or representations of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, warranties or representations as to (i) matters of title; (ii) environmental matters relating to the Property or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or in the vicinity of the Property, (iii) geological conditions, including, without limitation, subsidence, subsurface conditions, water table, underground water reservoirs, limitations regarding the withdrawal of water, and geologic faults and the resulting damage of past and/or future faulting, (iv) whether, and to the extent to which the Property or any portion thereof is affected by any stream (surface or underground), body of water, wetlands, flood prone area, flood plain, floodway or special flood hazard, (v) drainage, (vi) soil conditions, including the existence of instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill, or susceptibility to landslides, or the sufficiency of any undershoring, (vii) the presence of endangered species or any environmentally sensitive or protected areas, (viii) zoning or building entitlements to which the Property or any portion thereof may be subject, (ix) the availability of any utilities to the Property or any portion thereof including, without limitation, water, sewage, gas and electric, (x) usages of adjoining property, (xi) access to the Property or any portion thereof, (xii) the value, compliance with the plans and specifications, size, location, age, use, design, quality, description, suitability, structural integrity, operation, title to, or physical or financial condition of the Property or any portion thereof, or any income, expenses, charges, liens, encumbrances, rights or claims on or affecting or pertaining to the Property or any part thereof, (xiii) the condition or use of the Property or compliance of the Property with any or all past, present or future federal, state or local ordinances, rules, regulations or laws, building, fire or zoning ordinances, codes or other similar laws, (xiv) the existence or non-existence of underground storage tanks, surface impoundments, or landfills, (xv) the merchantability of the Property or fitness of the Property for any particular purpose, (xvi) the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents, (xvii) tax consequences, or (xviii) any other matter or thing with respect to the Property.
27
11.2Sale "As Is, Where Is." Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS," except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller has not made and is not liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, Property information packages distributed with respect to the Property) made or furnished by Seller, the property manager of the Property, or any real estate broker, agent or third party representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser's consultants in purchasing the Property and shall make an independent verification of the accuracy of any documents and information provided by Seller. Purchaser will conduct such inspections and investigations of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary, including, but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and shall rely upon same. By failing to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has afforded Purchaser a full opportunity to conduct such investigations of the Property as Purchaser deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the existence or non-existence or curative action to be taken with respect to any Hazardous Materials on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and any document executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical or construction defects or adverse environmental, health or safety conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser's inspections and investigations.
Purchaser's Initials____________
11.3Seller Released from Liability. Purchaser acknowledges that it will have the opportunity to inspect the Property during the Inspection Period, and during such period, observe its physical characteristics and existing conditions and the opportunity to conduct such investigation and study on and of the Property and adjacent areas as Purchaser deems necessary, and Purchaser hereby FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Seller from all responsibility, obligations, claims, demands and liability, whatsoever regarding the condition, valuation, salability or utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever (including, but not limited to, with respect to the presence in the soil, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Materials or other materials or substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, and any structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Materials on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Property, and further including, but not limited to liabilities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq.), as amended ("CERCLA")). Purchaser further hereby WAIVES (and by Closing this transaction will be deemed to have WAIVED) any and all objections and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the Property is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA) concerning the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Property. Purchaser
28
further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the releases and waivers in this Section 11.3 shall not apply to any indemnities, covenants or obligations of Seller which expressly survive either the termination of this Agreement or Closing, for which Purchaser shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement.
11.4"Hazardous Materials" Defined. For purposes hereof, "Hazardous Materials" means "Hazardous Material," "Hazardous Substance," "Pollutant or Contaminant," and "Petroleum" and "Natural Gas Liquids," as those terms are defined or used in Section 101 of CERCLA, and any other substances regulated because of their effect or potential effect on public health and the environment, including, without limitation, PCBs, lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials, putrescible materials, and infectious materials.

It is understood that the foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Contract, subject to the terms of this Section 12.8, with any of its attorneys, accountants, potential investors, professional consultants or potential lenders, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto from complying with any laws applicable to such party, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements.

Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller.
30
12.10Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule of construction – to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party – shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.
12.11Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

12.13No Recordation. Without the prior written consent of Seller, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall constitute a default hereunder by Purchaser, whereupon Seller shall have the remedies set forth in Section 10.1 hereof.
12.14Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to further perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser.
12.15Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation and warranty made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.
12.16ERISA. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan if Seller's sale of the Property to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion of Seller's ERISA advisors or consultants, create or otherwise cause a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA. In the event Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
12.17No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
31
12.18Audited Financial Statements. Seller hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate (at no third party cost to Seller) with Purchaser during the term of this Agreement in the preparation by Purchaser and its advisors, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, of audited financial statements of the Property for the most recent completed fiscal year of Seller and the current fiscal year-to-date that comply with Form 8-K filing requirements and Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, both as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including current and historical operating statements and information regarding the Property for Seller’s period of ownership.
12.19Property Maintenance and Repair Escrow. Purchaser has determined during its inspection of the Property that there are certain repair and maintenance items that, in Purchaser’s judgment, will need to be completed at the Property at a total estimated cost of $500,000.00 (the “Repair and Maintenance Work”). A categorical list of the items that comprise the Repair and Maintenance Work is attached hereto as Exhibit L and made a part hereof. Purchaser’s desire is to have the Repair and Maintenance Work completed prior to Closing, and has requested Seller’s assistance in doing so. Seller has agreed to perform the Repair and Maintenance Work on the following conditions:
12.19.1 Purchaser shall prepay a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of $500,000.00 (the “Repair Escrow Funds”) into an escrow with Escrow Agent to be held in a non-interest bearing account in a bank or savings and loan association whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (the “Repair Escrow Account”), and thereafter will be disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section 12.19. The Repair Escrow Funds in the Repair Escrow Account shall at all times be held by or under the control of Escrow Agent to fund the cost of the Repair and Maintenance Work.
12.19.2 Once Repair Escrow Account is funded, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a scope of work for each of the items listed on Exhibit L in such sufficient detail as to allow Seller to obtain a proposal from Seller or one or more contractors reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (“Contractors”) for the Repair and Maintenance Work. An Affiliate of Seller, CRES MANAGEMENT, LLC, shall oversee the performance of the Repair and Maintenance Work and be entitled to be paid a construction management fee of 6% of the cost of the Repair and Maintenance Work.
12.19.3 Provided that there are sufficient funds in the Repair Escrow Account, Seller shall proceed to enter into contracts (the “Repair Work Contracts”) reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser for the Repair and Maintenance Work and shall cause the Contractors to perform the Repair and Maintenance Work in accordance with the Repair Work Contracts and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations. Upon completion of any such work under a Repair Work Contract, Seller shall complete and present to Escrow Agent, with a copy to Purchaser, a draw request seeking payment of amounts due under the Repair Work Contract, together with (i) copies of invoices, bills or statements documenting the amounts due under the Repair Work Contract, and (ii) lien waivers and affidavits signed and delivered by the Contractor sufficient under applicable state law to waive the lien rights, if any, of the Contractor against the Property upon which the Contractor performed its work.
12.19.4 All costs associated with the Repair and Maintenance Work and the Repair Work Contracts shall be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. Performance of the Repair and Maintenance Work shall not extend Closing or be a condition to Closing. Additionally, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller the increased cost of the Broker’s commission in the amount of $5,000.00 at Closing.
32
12.19.5 In the event Purchaser and Seller cannot agree on the scope of the Repair and Maintenance Work or the Contractors or the Repair Work Contracts, such work shall not be undertaken and Seller shall have no obligation to perform such work.
12.19.6 Any Repair Escrow Funds remaining in the Repair Escrow Account after all contracted work has been fully paid (the “Remaining Repair Escrow Funds”) shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price due at Closing.
12.19.7 If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to rights granted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10. 2 hereof, and upon such termination, is entitled to have the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-Refundable Amount, refunded by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall pay to Purchaser concurrently with such refund any Remaining Repair Escrow Funds at the time of Purchaser’s termination. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement and is not entitled to have the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-Refundable Amount, refunded by the Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller any Remaining Repair Escrow Funds along with the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-Refundable Amount.
