In addition to the execution of the OPA Assignment, which is a closing condition in favor of Purchaser, in connection with the above, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel from Agency on a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, provided that obtaining any such estoppel shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Article XII, the term “material portion” shall mean greater than three and one half percent (3.5%) of the Purchase Price or a material and adverse impact on the operation or use of the Property (including, in the case of condemnation, loss of access to the parking area of the Property). If the damage or destruction arises out of an uninsured (or underinsured) risk, Seller shall elect, by written notice within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such damage or destruction either to terminate this Agreement or to close the transaction contemplated hereby with a reduction of the Purchase Price equal to the costs of repairing the Property, as reasonably estimated by an engineer engaged by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
ARTICLE XIII

(i) make any material structural alterations or additions to the Property except as (a) in the ordinary course of operating the Property, (b) required for
EXECUTION VERSION
maintenance and repair, (c) required by any of the Leases or the Contracts, or (d) required by this Agreement;
(ii) sell, transfer, encumber or change the status of title of all or any portion of the Property;
(iii) change or attempt to change, directly or indirectly, the current zoning of the Real Property in a manner materially adverse to it;
(iv) cancel, amend or modify, in a manner materially adverse to the Property, any license or permit held by Seller with respect to the Property or any part thereof which would be binding upon Purchaser after the Closing;
(v) remove any Personal Property except in the ordinary course of business as may be required for necessary repair or replacement;
(vi) stop maintaining in full force and effect fire and commercial general liability insurance on the Property which is at least equivalent in all material respects to the insurance policies covering the Property as of the Effective Date; or
(vii) agree to pay third party brokers any commissions for any Leases entered into after the Effective Date, which commission is not fully paid for by Seller prior to the Closing Date.
13.3 New Leases and Contracts. Seller may enter into any new lease (on its standard lease form and as long as consistent with current market terms) or contract without Purchaser’s consent so long as: (i) Seller provides Purchaser prior written notice of such lease and (ii) such leases are entered into in accordance with Seller’s past practices, at current market rents, on Seller’s standard lease form and for a length of term no longer than one (1) year (with respect to residential leases); provided, however, in no event shall Seller enter into a new lease, renew or otherwise modify the current lease for Unit 131 other than allowing the tenant in Unit 131 to move into Unit 132. Seller may not enter into any new non-residential leases or amend any existing non-residential leases without receiving Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence Seller may only enter into any new contracts without Purchaser’s consent if doing so is in the ordinary course of operating the Property and the contract (i) will not be binding on Purchaser; or (ii) is cancelable on thirty (30) days or less notice without penalty or premium.
13.4 Confidentiality. Seller and Purchaser shall, prior to the Closing, maintain the confidentiality of this sale and purchase and shall not, except as required by law or governmental regulation applicable to Seller or Purchaser, disclose the terms of this Agreement or of such sale
EXECUTION VERSION
and purchase to any third parties whomsoever other than investors or prospective investors in Seller or Purchaser or the principals of Seller’s Broker, Escrow Agent, the Title Company, Purchaser's accountants, attorney's architects, engineers and such other persons whose assistance is required in carrying out the terms of this Agreement (“Purchaser’s Representatives”); notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not disclose to investors or prospective investors the name of Seller or any of its affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall at any time issue a press release or otherwise communicate with media representatives regarding this sale and purchase unless such release or communication has received the prior written approval of the other. Purchaser agrees that all documents and information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to it by Seller or Seller’s agents and the results of all tests and studies of the Property (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”) are confidential and Purchaser shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any other person except those assisting it with the analysis of the Property and/or Purchaser’s Loan Parties (as hereinafter defined), and only after procuring such person’s agreement to abide by these confidentiality restrictions. As used in this Agreement, “Purchaser’s Loan Parties” shall mean (A) any lender who contemplates providing or provides financing to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with the officers, employees, agents, representatives, consultants and attorneys of such lender or prospective lender, and (B) any broker who is engaged by Purchaser to identify a lender or prospective lender for Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Proprietary Information” does not include information which (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser; (ii) was available to Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Representatives or Purchaser’s Loan Parties on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by Seller; or (iii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with Seller or otherwise is prohibited from transmitting the information to Purchaser by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall impair Purchaser’s (or any Purchaser affiliate’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Purchaser or its affiliates, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S 11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Purchaser, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the Purchaser’s or any REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s or Purchaser’s investors. This Section 13.5 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
13.5 Right to Cure. If any title defect or other matter which would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement shall first arise after execution of this Agreement, or if Seller shall have
EXECUTION VERSION
breached any representation or warranty hereunder, Seller may elect, by written notice to Purchaser, to cure such title defect or other matter by causing it to be removed, insured over or bonded to cure such breach and Seller may adjourn the Closing for up to thirty (30) business days to do so. Nothing contained in this Section 13.6 shall require Seller to cure any matter or to incur any liability or expense to do so.

TRANSFER OF POSSESSION
TRANSFER OF POSSESSION
15.1 Transfer of Possession.
15.1.1 Possession of the Property shall be transferred to Purchaser at the time of Closing subject to the following (the “Permitted Encumbrances”):
(a) Non delinquent real property taxes and all assessments and unpaid installments thereof which are not delinquent.
(b) The Leases and the rights of tenants thereunder.
(c) Any other lien, encumbrance, easement or other exception or matter voluntarily imposed or consented to by Purchaser prior to or as of the Closing.
(d) All exceptions (including printed exceptions) to title contained or disclosed in the Title Report (as defined in Section 5.1.1) other than any objections to title identified which Seller commits in writing to remove or have removed and not thereafter waived by Purchaser). Notwithstanding the above, any non-material exception to title first appearing after the Effective Date which does not materially impair access to or value of the Property (a “Non-Material Exception”) shall be considered a Permitted Encumbrance.
(e) All matters, rights and interests that would be discovered by the survey of the Property to be obtained by Purchaser.
15.1.2 Permitted Encumbrances shall not include, and Seller shall affirmatively (i) discharge all liens of deeds of trust and/or mortgages or other collateral financing interests and all other monetary liens created by, under or through Seller, or assumed by Seller (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) discharge all mechanics’ or materialman’s liens for work performed by or at the direction of Seller, (iii) satisfy or otherwise eliminate to the satisfaction of the Title Company any and all judgment liens against Seller and (iv) cure and/or remove any other exception or encumbrance created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date and not approved by the Purchaser (each a “Mandatory Removal Item”).
15.2 Delivery of Documents at Closing. At the time of Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, or leave at the Property: originals or copies of any additional documents, instruments, records, keys, passwords, pass cards, original leases, original Contracts and original plans, permits
EXECUTION VERSION
and warranties in the possession of Seller or its agents which are necessary for the ownership and operation of the Property.

16.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the transaction contemplated hereby and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged herein.
16.4 Modification. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is or may be sought.
16.5 Attorneys’ Fees. Should any party hereto employ an attorney for the purpose of enforcing or construing this Agreement, or any judgment based on this Agreement, in any legal proceeding whatsoever, including insolvency, bankruptcy, arbitration, declaratory relief or other litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party or parties thereto reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, including without limitation service of process, filing fees, court and court reporter costs, investigative costs, expert witness fees and the cost of any bonds, whether taxable or not, and such reimbursement shall be included in any judgment, decree or final order issued in that proceeding.

16.8.1 Unless otherwise expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, only those warranties and representations contained in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 and the provisions of
EXECUTION VERSION
Section 11.3, shall survive the Closing, the delivery of the Deed and the payment of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that (i) such representations and warranties (but not such provisions) shall cease and terminate nine (9) months after the date of Closing, except in respect of any representation or warranty as to which Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall have commenced, on or before such nine (9) month anniversary, a legal proceeding based on the breach thereof as of the date of Closing, and then only for so long as such proceeding shall continue and limited to the breach therein claimed; (ii) Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser with respect thereto unless and until the damages suffered by Purchaser as a result thereof shall equal or exceed Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) in the aggregate (the “Floor”) (in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to damages without regard to the Floor); and (iii) the maximum total liability for which Seller shall be responsible with respect to all representations and warranties shall not exceed the Maximum Liability Cap in the aggregate. Unless otherwise expressly herein stated to survive, all other representations, covenants, indemnities, conditions and agreements contained herein shall merge into and be superseded by the various documents executed and delivered at Closing and shall not survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 11.1, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser after Closing for any matter disclosed by Seller or learned of by Purchaser prior to Closing.
16.8.2
(a) At the Closing, an amount equal to Three Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Dollars ($385,000.00) (less any sums expended by Seller prior to Closing directly in connection with the Mandated Improvement Work (as defined below)) (the “Escrow Sum”) shall be deposited in an escrow established by Escrow Agent for purposes of securing payment and performance of any work required to be performed on the Property (“Mandated Improvement Work”) to comply with any court order or settlement agreement stemming from that certain law suit (the “UFAS Litigation”) known as “Independent Living Center et al. v. City of Los Angeles, Redrock Noho Residential, LLC et al.; Docket No. 2:12-cv-00551-FMO-PJW (C.D. CA)” as more particularly described in Schedule 11.1.0 of the Purchase Agreement (the “UFAS Litigation”). The Escrow Sum will be invested, disbursed or otherwise dealt with and disposed of pursuant to the terms of the Holdback Escrow Agreement (the “Holdback Agreement”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Seller and Purchaser shall deliver a duly executed copy of the Holdback Agreement to Escrow Agent at the Closing. It is the parties’ understanding that Seller and/or its insurance shall continue to handle the UFAS Litigation after the Closing Date directly, and at Seller’s or Seller’s insurance company’s sole cost and expense, provided that Seller agrees to provide notice to Purchaser of any status updates or other notifications it receives concerning the UFAS Litigation.
EXECUTION VERSION
(b) The Property is currently subject to certain HUD administrative proceedings (the “HUD Proceedings”) as more particularly described on Schedule 11.1.9 hereto. It is the parties’ understanding that Seller and/or its insurance shall continue to handle the HUD Proceedings after the Closing Date directly, provided that Seller agrees to provide notice to Purchaser of any status updates or other notifications it receives concerning the HUD Proceedings. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its respective affiliates, members, partners, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers, directors and agents from any loss, injury, damage, cause of action, liability, claim, lien, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs arising directly from the HUD Proceedings. To the extent any new HUD proceedings (“New HUD Proceedings”) arise in relation to the Property after Closing, which Seller did not receive written notice of prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its respective affiliates, members, partners, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers, directors and agents from any loss, injury, damage, cause of action, liability, claim, lien, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs arising directly from the New HUD Proceedings. The indemnities in this Section 16.8.2 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
16.9 Assignment by Purchaser. Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser reserves the right to take title to the Property in the name of an affiliate, or in the name of one or more institutional investors for which Purchaser or one of its affiliates is then acting as investment manager; provided Purchaser delivers to Seller written notice of its intention to do so no less than five (5) business days prior to the Closing including the legal name and structure of the assignee. No assignment of Purchaser's rights hereunder shall relieve Purchaser of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser; there are no third party beneficiaries hereof. Any assignment of this Agreement in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity or employee benefit plan if Seller’s sale of the Property to such person or entity or plan would, in the judgment of Seller, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under or violation of ERISA.
16.10 Severability. If any term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement herein contained is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the fact that such term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement is invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement herein contained.
EXECUTION VERSION
16.11 Successors and Assigns. All terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns (subject to Section 16.9).
16.12 Interpretation. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge each to the other that both they and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and 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 amendments or exhibits hereto.
16.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original; such counterparts shall together constitute but one agreement.
16.14 Recordation. This Agreement may not be recorded and any attempt to do so shall be of no effect whatsoever.
16.15 Limitation on Liability. In any action brought to enforce the obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith, the judgment or decree shall be subject to the provisions of Section 16.8 and shall, otherwise in any event, be enforceable against Seller only up to an amount not to exceed two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the “Maximum Liability Cap”); provided, however, any recovery by Purchaser pursuant to the Holdback Agreement and Seller’s indemnity with respect to the litigation and administrative proceedings as set forth in Section 16.8.2 shall be excluded from the Maximum Liability Cap. In light of Seller’s indemnities and surviving obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall not distribute 100% of the purchase proceeds from the Closing to its members if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. Section 18-101 et. seq.) and shall maintain reserves reasonably sufficient to avoid such violation, as determined in Seller’s reasonable determination. In connection with this Agreement, Advisor is acting as the investment advisor to Seller and shall not have any individual liability hereunder. No shareholder, officer, employee or agent of or consultant to Advisor or of or to Seller shall be held to any personal liability hereunder, and no resort shall be had to their property or assets, or the property or assets of Advisor or of Seller for the satisfaction of any claims hereunder or in connection with the affairs of Advisor or of Seller. Purchaser shall have no recourse against any other property or assets of Seller, any assets of the Advisor, or to any of the past, present or future, direct or indirect, shareholders, partners, members, managers, principals, directors, officers, agents, incorporators, affiliates or representatives of Seller or the Advisor (collectively, “Seller Parties”) or of any of the assets or property of any of the foregoing for the payment or collection of any amount, judgment, judicial process, arbitral award, fee or cost or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement and requiring the payment of money by Seller. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 16.15, neither Seller nor any Seller Party shall be subject to levy,
EXECUTION VERSION
lien, execution, attachment or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of any of Purchaser’s rights or remedies under or with respect to this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
16.16 Possession of Advisor. As used in this Agreement, the “possession” or “receipt” of a document, notice or similar writing by Seller shall be deemed to be only the possession, receipt or notice such document by Advisor.
16.17 Business Day. As used in this Agreement, “business day” shall be deemed to be any day other than a day on which banks in the state of California shall be permitted or required to close.
16.18 Energy Disclosure. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller has complied with California Public Resource Code § 25402.10 and the disclosure regulations issued in connection therewith (e.g., California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Sections 1680 – 1684) by, among other things, delivering to Purchaser the Data Verification Checklist (as such term is defined in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1681) for the Property prior to the date hereof. By Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges Purchaser's receipt of the Data Verification Checklist.
16.19 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate at such party’s expense the sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the other party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the electing party shall effect the Exchange through assignment of its right under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary; (iii) the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property of the Exchange; (iv) the electing party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless with respect to any liability in connection with the Exchange and (v) the electing party shall remain primarily liable under this Agreement and indemnify the other party from any liability in connection with the Exchange. The other party shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange (1) have its right under this Agreement affected or diminished in any matter or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the electing party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
16.20 Exclusivity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere herein, Seller acknowledges that neither Seller nor any affiliate, representative, advisor, officer, director, employee or agent of Seller shall enter into any purchase and sale agreements or term sheets regarding the sale of the Property with any third party, during the period commencing on the Effective Date
EXECUTION VERSION
hereof and expiring on the earlier of the date on which this Agreement is terminated or the Closing Date.
ARTICLE XVII
ESCROW AGENT DUTIES AND DISPUTES
ESCROW AGENT DUTIES AND DISPUTES
17.1 Other Duties of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement or contract between Seller and Purchaser, whether or not Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof. Escrow Agent’s only duties and responsibilities with respect to the Deposit shall be to hold the Deposit and other documents delivered to it as agent and to dispose of the Deposit and such documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to protect the Deposit and shall not be responsible for any failure to demand, collect or enforce any obligation with respect to the Deposit or for any diminution in value of the Deposit from any cause, other than Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Agent may, at the expense of Seller and Purchaser, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with its duties under this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the parties hereto for any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel and accountants. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that may, in its reasonable judgment, result in any liability to it unless Escrow Agent shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Escrow Agent.
17.2 Disputes. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Deposit until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit, or, in the absence of authorization, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to be authentic. If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the date scheduled for the closing of title and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of the State of pending a determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in its capacity as Escrow Agent, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability
EXECUTION VERSION
hereunder. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and Purchaser in connection with the Deposit.
17.3 Reports. Escrow Agent shall be responsible for the timely filing of any reports or returns required pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (and any similar reports or returns required under any state or local laws) in connection with the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

THIS HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ___ day of [_____], 2016, by and among [_______________________](“Seller”), [_______________________] (“Purchaser”), and [_____________________________] (“Escrow Holder”).
RECITALS
A. Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Holder entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated [_________], 2016 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
B. Pursuant to Purchase Agreement, Purchaser is acquiring the interests of Seller in the property described therein (the “Property”). Each capitalized term not defined herein shall have the respective meaning given to that term in the Purchase Agreement.
C. Section 16.8.2 of the Purchase Agreement provides, in part, that, upon the Closing, the Escrow Sum will be deposited into the Escrow (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of securing payment and performance of the Mandated Improvement Work. It is the understanding of Seller and Purchaser that Seller and/or its insurance company shall continue working towards a final settlement agreement of the UFAS Litigation (the “Settlement Agreement”) after Closing directly upon terms as further outlined in the attached Exhibit 1, provided that Seller agrees to provide notice to Purchaser of any status updates or other notifications it receives and Purchaser covenants and agrees to execute the Settlement Agreement if ultimately required by the court. Upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, Seller and Purchaser will jointly retain Xxxxxxx Xxx (the “Consultant”) at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to assist Seller and Purchaser in agreeing upon a reasonable estimate of the total costs plus an additional 25% for Purchaser oversight of the Mandated Improvement Work (collectively, the “Improvement Cost Amount”) to complete the Mandated Improvement Work. In estimating the Improvement Cost Amount, Seller and Purchaser agree that the most cost-effective solutions (consistent with the current fit and finish of the Property and utilizing units with existing UFAS features where possible) shall be used for completion of the Mandated Improvement Work.
D. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to modify or alter in any way the obligations of the parties under the Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1. Deposit; Investment of Funds.
208130846 v9
(a) Upon the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, The Escrow Sum shall be deposited into an account maintained by the Escrow Holder (the “Escrow”). Such amount, plus any interest, dividends and other proceeds earned on all escrowed funds, shall at all times remain in the Escrow except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.
(b) Escrow Holder shall invest all escrowed funds in an interest-bearing bank account at a bank that Purchaser and Seller approve, or in such other investments as shall be approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser. The Escrow Holder is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any such investments as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Agreement. The Escrow Holder shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Holder is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, to deal in good faith with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Holder or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Holder is not providing investment supervision, recommendations or advice.
(c) All interest, dividends and other income or proceeds earned on the Escrow Sum shall be treated as part of the Escrow Sum and shall be disbursed as provided herein. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be liable in any manner to the other as a result of any investment decision made, or any approval of or failure to approve any investment decision, with respect to the Escrow.
2. Disbursement of Escrow Sum and Indemnity. Within two (2) business days after issuance of a final court order with respect to the UFAS Litigation or the execution of the Settlement Agreement and agreement by Seller and Purchaser (in consultation with the Consultant) of the Improvement Cost Amount, Escrow Holder shall promptly disburse from the Escrow Sum to Purchaser the Improvement Cost Amount, with the remainder of the Escrow Sum, if any, going to Seller. Purchaser covenants and agrees, following the disbursement of the Improvement Cost Amount to Purchaser, to complete the Mandated Improvement Work in a lien free manner and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its respective affiliates, members, partners, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers, directors and agents from any loss, injury, damage, cause of action, liability, claim, lien, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs arising from any claims relating to the Mandated Improvement Work under the Settlement Agreement or any defects related thereto.
3. Controversies. In the event that any controversy arises between the Parties hereto or with any third person, Escrow Holder shall not be required to make any determination of the same or take any action with regard to the same, but may await settlement of the controversy by mutual instructions of the parties or by appropriate legal or arbitration proceedings.
4. Compensation. Escrow Holder shall be entitled to compensation for its services in the amount of $_______________, which compensation shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for Escrow Holder's services as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled or Escrow Holder renders any services not contemplated in this Agreement or the Escrow Holder
is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, Escrow Holder shall be compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses occasioned by any such delay, controversy, litigation, or event.
5. Harmless. Seller and Purchaser hereby jointly and severally promise and agree to pay promptly on demand and to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Holder from and against all costs, damages, judgments, attorneys’ fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities of every kind which in good faith are incurred or suffered by the Escrow Holder in connection with or arising out of the Escrow (it being expressly understood and agreed, however, that nothing in this Section 4 shall alter or impair the right of Seller or Purchaser to recover from the other any amount due from one to the other with respect to sums paid to Escrow Holder pursuant to this Section 4).
6. Notices.
(a) Whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication is required or permitted hereunder, such notice, demand, request or communication shall be made in writing and shall be personally delivered to the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement, sent via prepaid courier or telecopier, or deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement (with respect to Seller or Purchaser), and any notices to Escrow Holder shall be sent to:
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), below, any notice, demand, request or other communication sent in the manner specified in this Section 6 shall be deemed to have been delivered upon receipt by the person to whom such notice was addressed.
(c) The inability to deliver any notice, demand or request because the individual to whom it is properly addressed in accordance with this Section 6 refuses delivery thereof or no longer can be located at that address shall constitute delivery thereof to such individual.
(d) Each party hereto shall have the right from time to time to designate by written notice to the other parties thereto such other person or persons and such other place or places as said party may desire written notices to be delivered or sent in accordance herewith.
7. Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, amended, supplemented or terminated nor may the obligations of the parties hereunder be waived except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.
8. Charges. Except as otherwise provided herein, all charges and expenses of Escrow are to be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be construed in accordance with and governed by laws of the State of Louisiana, without giving effect to the conflict-of-law rules and principles of said state.
10. Incorporation of Prior Agreements. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and any documents delivered in connection therewith, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no other prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, corporation or firm other than the parties hereto or their permitted successors and assigns.
11. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or if Escrow Holder commences any action with respect to the Escrow, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover actual attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding (together with costs of enforcing any judgments or rulings), in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
12. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
13. Time of Essence. All terms provided for in this Agreement for the performance of any act will be strictly construed, time being of essence.
14. Further Assurances. Purchaser and Seller agree to execute such further instructions to Escrow Holder and such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement, and any document or instrument entered into, given or made pursuant to this Agreement or authorized hereby, and any amendment or supplement thereto, may be executed in two or more counterparts, and, when so executed, will have the same force and effect as though all signatures appeared on a single document. Any signature page of this Agreement or of such an amendment, supplement, document or instrument may be detached from any counterpart without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon, and may be attached to another counterpart identical in form thereto but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.
16. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, unconscionable or unenforceable, all of the other terms, provisions and selections hereof will nevertheless remain effective and be in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
17. Construction of Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto, despite the fact that the Agreement may have been prepared in whole or part by one party or its counsel. Headings at the beginning of paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. When required by the context, whenever the singular number is used in this Agreement, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa.

“Effective Date” means the date upon which fee title to the Property shall be conveyed to Assignee.
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION
Assignment. Assignor hereby assigns and transfers to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Interests, without recourse, representation or warranty.
Acceptance and Assumption. Assignee hereby accepts the foregoing assignment and transfer from Assignor, and Assignee hereby assumes and agrees to perform all of the Assumed Obligations which first arise or occur from and after the Effective Date, and to be bound by, and to comply from and after the Effective Date with, all of the terms and provisions of the OPA to the extent same relate to the Assigned Interests and the Assumed Obligations.
Effect of Assignment. From and after the Effective Date: (a) Assignee shall be deemed a party to the OPA and any reference therein to “Developer” shall be deemed to refer to Assignee to the extent said reference relates to the Property, the Assigned Interests and/or the Assumed Obligations; (b) Assignee shall be entitled to exercise and enforce all rights to the Assigned Interests under the OPA as if Assignee had been a signatory to the OPA or a beneficiary thereunder as of the date of its original execution and Assignor shall no longer have any entitlement thereto; (c) CRA/LA shall release Assignee, its successors and assigns and the Property from all obligations, restrictions and requirements described in the OPA except for the Assumed Obligations; and (d) Assignor is released by CRA/LA from the obligations related to the Property, the Assigned Interests and/or the OPA (to the extent applicable to the Property) in each case to the extent first arising or accruing after the Effective Date.
Consent to Amendment. From and after the Effective Date, any future amendment of the OPA which does not affect any of the Property, the Assigned Interests, or the Assumed Obligations, shall not require the consent or signature of Assignee. In addition, in the event CRA/LA has received written notice of the existence of a Lender (as defined in Section 3.6, below) from Assignee, then from and after the Effective Date, CRA/LA shall make a good faith effort to provide written notification to such Lender, at least ten (10) days prior to executing any proposed amendments or modifications to any of the provisions of the OPA which are binding on the Assignee Property.
CRA/LA CONSENT
Consent to Assignment. CRA/LA consents to: (i) the assignment of Assignor’s interest in the Property and the OPA to Assignee, (ii) the assignment, transfer and/or hypothecation of Assignee’s interest in the Property and the OPA as security for any Lender financing and (iii) any future assignment of the Property and the OPA by Assignee to any Lender.

CRA/LA acknowledges that Assignee is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon said certification and that CRA/LA shall hereafter be estopped from pursuing any rights or remedies against Assignee or Lender in connection with any alleged breach of an Assumed Obligation prior to the date hereof; notwithstanding this certification, however, CRA/LA does not waive any rights it may have against Assignor for any such alleged breach.
Waiver and Release of Claims.
CRA/LA hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Effective Date, Assignee (and its successors) shall only be responsible for (and the Property shall only be bound and encumbered by) the Assumed Obligations, and from and after the Effective Date, CRA/LA expressly, fully and forever releases and discharges Assignee and the Property from any and all losses, expenses, claims, costs, damages, debts, attorneys’ fees, actions, suits, judgments, awards,
obligations and/or liabilities of any kind, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, with respect to or in any way relating to or arising out of the Retained Obligations (as defined in the Subarea B-2 Assignment), the Assignor Property (as defined in the Subarea B-1 Assignment) and/or any and all obligations assumed by (i) the Subarea A Assignee or Subarea C Assignee and/or relating to the “Assignee Property” as defined in the Subarea A Assignment or Subarea C Assignment, as applicable, or (ii) Subarea B-1 Assignee and/or relating to the “Property” as defined in the Subarea B-1 Assignment.
CRA/LA acknowledges and agrees, and without limiting the terms of any release and/or other partial termination previously executed, delivered and/or recorded by CRA/LA or in respect of the Property (or any portion thereof) that except for the rights and obligations specifically enumerated in the Subarea B-2 Assignment with respect to Subarea B-2, no other portion of the OPA is applicable to the Property. CRA/LA acknowledges and agrees that the HUD Loan (as defined in the Subarea B-2 Assignment) does not impact or encumber the Property and reaffirms its release of the Assignor and Assignee (together with its successors, assigns and/or lenders) and the Property from any remedies which might be construed as in any way relating to or arising out of a default of the HUD Loan or any other financing contemplated under the OPA. CRA/LA further acknowledges and agrees that any Agency Participation Payment which was payable under the OPA in respect of the sale of any portion of the Property has been previously paid in full by Assignor’s predecessors in interest and that no Agency Participation Payment shall be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Sale, Purchase and Escrow Agreement dated as of [_________], 2016, between Redrock Residential Noho, LLC and [____________] with respect to the sale of the Property (as amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
No Cross Default. CRA/LA hereby acknowledges that:
In the event the Subarea A Assignee defaults on any of the obligations assigned under the Subarea A Assignment, then CRA/LA shall have no rights or remedies against Assignee or the Property and, to the extent that such a default would entitle CRA/LA to terminate the OPA, then CRA/LA shall have no right to terminate the OPA to the extent it relates to Subarea B-2 or the Subarea B-2 Improvements, including without limitation, any of the Assigned Interests.
In the event the Subarea B-1 Assignee defaults on any of the obligations assigned under the Subarea B-1 Assignment, then CRA/LA shall have no rights or remedies against Assignee or the Property and, to the extent that such a default would entitle CRA/LA to terminate the OPA, then CRA/LA shall have no right to terminate the OPA to the extent it relates to Subarea B-2 or the Subarea B-2 Improvements, including without limitation, any of the Assigned Interests.
In the event the Subarea C Assignee defaults on any of the obligations assigned under the Subarea C Assignment, then CRA/LA shall have no rights or remedies against Assignee or the Property and, to the extent that such a default would entitle CRA/LA to terminate the OPA, then CRA/LA shall have no right to terminate the OPA to the extent it relates to Subarea B-2 or the Subarea B-2 Improvements, including without limitation, any of the Assigned Interests.
In the event Developer defaults on any obligations relating to Subarea D, then CRA/LA shall have no right to terminate the OPA to the extent it relates to Subarea B-2 or the Subarea B-2 Improvements, including without limitation, any of the Assigned Interests.
Consent to Financing and Security Interest. CRA/LA hereby acknowledges and agrees that Assignee, and any successors to Assignee, shall have the right, at any time and without notice to or the need for approval from CRA/LA, to encumber all or any portion of the Property.
Lender Reliance. Each Party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any lender to Assignee (“Lender”) shall have the right to rely on the contents and provisions of this Agreement and that such lender will rely on such content and provisions in connection with its loan to Assignee.
MISCELLANEOUS

Receipt of Further Payments. If Assignor receives, after the Effective Date, any payments or benefits on account of any Assigned Interests, Assignor shall promptly notify Assignee thereof, hold such amounts in trust for Assignee, and promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after Assignor’s receipt thereof) turn over such amounts in full to Assignee or as Assignee may direct, in the same or equivalent form received, without recourse, representation or warranty of Assignor.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein (a) shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors, assigns and transferees, and (b) shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Parties and their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

No failure on the part of any Party to excuse, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder or under any related document shall operate as a waiver thereof by such Party, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any other related document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of each Party provided herein and in other related documents (i) are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law, and (ii) are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Party to exercise any of its rights under any other related document against the other Parties or any other entity.

Litigation/Administrative Proceedings
[Attached hereto]
Pending Litigation -
The Lofts at Noho Commons
1. HUD Administrative Complaints
Each of the following complaints alleges disability discrimination and failure to accommodate by providing the complainant with an accessible apartment. Each of the complainants is of limited income, and requires an apartment in the affordable housing program. The first two (Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx) are not on the affordable housing waitlist, which is closed. The last (Ling) is on the waitlist, and was offered an affordable apartment at one time, but rejected it because of its size.
Each of these three is under investigation by HUD to determine whether there is cause to believe any unlawful discrimination has occurred.
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx v. Redrock Noho Residential, LLC
HUD Case No. 09-13-0139-8
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx v. Redrock Noho Residential, LLC
HUD Case No. 09-13-0685-8
Xxx Xxxx v. Redrock Noho Residential LLC
HUD Case No. 09-13-0686-8
(Note: This is the second administrative complaint filed by Ling against the Lofts. The first was dismissed with “no cause” by HUD. The current complaint was filed - with identical allegations - after Ling’s federal court litigation on the same subject was dismissed by summary judgment; see Ling v. City of Los Angeles, below.)
7/26/16 Update: I have heard nothing further from HUD on these complaints. I understand they are still pending with HUD, and HUD considers them “open” investigations, but nothing is happening on them with regard to anything the Respondents must do.
2. Federal Court Litigation
Xxx Xxxx v. City of Los Angeles, Redrock Noho Residential, LLC et al.
Docket No. 2:11-cv-07774 (C.D. CA)
on appeal as:
Xxx Xxxx v. City of Los Angeles, Redrock Noho Residential, LLC et al.
Docket No. 12-57263 (9th Cir.)
In this lawsuit, Ling alleges that Redrock failed to reasonably accommodate her disability by providing her a one-bedroom apartment at the Lofts. Ling is of limited income, and only qualifies for the “affordable” units at the Lofts. The designated “affordable” units at this property are all studio units; the only one bedroom plan is only available as a market rate unit. Ling requests that she be offered a one bedroom unit at the affordable rate.
The United States District Court for the Central District of California granted summary judgment on all of Ling’s claims in November 2012. Ling appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Briefing has been complete in the Ninth Circuit since February 2014, and oral argument on the appeal is scheduled for February 4, 2015.
7/26/16 Update: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the grant of summary judgment by order of March 5, 2015. No further appeal was taken by Ling, and the matter is closed.
Independent Living Center et al. v. City of Los Angeles, Redrock Noho Residential, LLC et al.
Docket No. 2:12-cv-00551-FMO-PJW (C.D. CA)
This lawsuit was filed in 2012 by three different disabled advocacy groups. The advocacy groups allege that the City of Los Angeles did not ensure that its receipt and use of federal funds complied with the obligations of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. In particular, the advocacy groups allege the City failed to ensure funds used for construction and renovation of housing included adequate provision of housing accessible for people with disabilities.
The plaintiffs in this action have named 61 owners of housing that allegedly received City funds for construction or renovation as “necessary” parties, meaning they are necessary to obtain full resolution of the complaint. Specifically, the plaintiffs named the Owner Defendants (Redrock Noho Residential, LLC is one) to ensure that the Court could order physical modifications to the properties as necessary.
The Owner Defendants have made substantial efforts to achieve settlement as to their participation in the case. The Plaintiffs are not seeking any monetary relief from the Owner Defendants, and the City’s cross-claims against the Owner Defendants were dismissed by the Court. On January 21, 2015, the Court entered a 90 day stay of the litigation on representations from the plaintiffs and the City that they intended to engage in substantive, global settlement negotiations. The Owner Defendants will participate in those negotiations.
7/26/16 Update: I do not represent the Lofts at Noho Commons in this litigation; Xxxx Xxxxxx from Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx is insurance defense counsel. However, I have been in close contact with Xxxx, and I do represent other Owner Defendants in this action. In July 2015, the Plaintiffs announced they had reached settlement with the City that needed to be approved by the Mayor and City Council, then the Court. That approval is pending.
Under the settlement, the City would provide funds to reach a target goal of a certain number of accessible units over a ten year period, and would require all properties it funds to adopt and implement certain policies and procedures. However, 22 properties were specifically excluded from the settlement because of the involvement of the CRA, and Lofts at Noho is one of those properties. The litigation continues against the CRA, and the outcome for the Lofts at Noho Commons is presumed to be essentially the same as for the other Owner Defendants.
