Seller's tenants unless closing occurs. In addition, Buyer agrees that it will
under no circumstances make any offer, or use the Due Diligence materials, to
acquire the interest of any partner(s) of the selling entities for a period of

under any circumstances, disclose to any of Seller's employees that it is
contemplating acquisition of the Property without Seller's written consent prior

the operation of the Property, and as detailed in Section 3(a).
(iii) After Seller provides all required documents to the Buyer,
Buyer agrees to accept or reject all documents prior to the end of the Due
Diligence Period. If Buyer does not cancel this Contract during the Due
Diligence Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Property and it
will close on the Property in accordance with this Contract, except for
cancellation in accordance with the specific provisions of this Contract.
(b) This Contract is contingent upon Buyer obtaining a "firm" commitment
(per the practice of HUD for 221D4 mortgages) for financing the purchase of Real
Property in accordance with the Contract upon terms and conditions satisfactory
to Buyer. Buyer agrees to apply for said commitment promptly after July 15,
1996, and shall have a period of 150 days to obtain said commitment. Should
Buyer be unable to obtain said commitment within said 150- day period, either
party may terminate this Contract by written notice to the other in which case
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any
further liability, except the obligation to restore the premises after due
diligence. Buyer shall have the right to extend the mortgage contingency period
for up to 30 days on prior written notice to Seller if the mortgage application
is through HUD.
SECTION 4. DEED AND TITLE.
(a) Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Closing, a special or limited
warranty deed (or bargain and sale deed, where appropriate) ("Deed"), conveying
good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, subject only to such
easements, restrictions of record and title exceptions set forth in the
commitment for title insurance specifically approved by Buyer, and taxes not
delinquent. Further, the title insurance commitment for the Property must
contain provision for the endorsements that are reasonably required by Buyer's
funding source, which endorsements shall be ordered by Buyer at Buyer's expense.
In addition, Seller shall convey title to the Personal Property to Buyer, free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except those disclosed during due
diligence; e.g., equipment leases or personal property financing documents), by
the execution and delivery at Closing of a Xxxx of Sale in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, without warranty, except as to Seller's title.
(b) Seller agrees to provide a copy of its existing title insurance
policy to Buyer. Buyer shall then obtain an ALTA Form B Title Insurance
Commitment (the "Title Commitment"), within thirty (30) days of the date of
6
commencement of Buyer's due diligence period, issued by a title insurance
company selected by Buyer, committing to insure fee simple marketable title to
the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price for such Property in Buyer's
name, with all standard exceptions removed (except for the rights of tenants
under unrecorded leases and/or except for standard exceptions normally not
removed pursuant to local custom with respect to each Property), and containing
no other exceptions not specifically approved by Buyer. Buyer shall have ten
(10) days after receipt to examine the Title Commitment and inform Seller of
Buyer's objection to any exception contained in or title defect revealed by the
Title Commitments.
(c) If Buyer's examination of the Title Commitment reveals that the
Title Commitment for the Property contains objectionable exceptions or that the
title to the Property is defective and thereafter, the issuing title insurance
company refuses to delete the objectionable exceptions or the defects cannot be
cured within a reasonable period of time after written notice by Buyer,
specifically pointing out the objection/defects, or if the title company refuses
to issue endorsements as required by Buyer's lender, then Buyer may elect to
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in order to terminate the Contract, an objectionable
exception or defect must be one which renders title unmarketable and uninsurable
because of such specified objection or defect, or the specified objection or
defect shall be materially inconsistent with the present use of the Property as
an apartment complex.
(d) Seller will pay for preparation of the Deed for the Property.
(e) Buyer will pay for any survey of the Property, the recording of
the Deed for the Property, state tax and register's fees on the Deed, the cost
of obtaining a title commitment, and the premium due for the title insurance
policy to be issued for the Property, and all endorsements.
(f) Seller and Buyer will each pay their own attorney's fees.
SECTION 5. PRORATIONS AND ALLOCATIONS. (a) Rents, taxes, service con-
tracts, equipment leases or other personal property financing, utility deposits,
insurance and other expenses whether or not a lien, assessed or to be assessed
for the tax year in which the transaction is consummated. will be prorated as to
the Property to the date of the Closing based on a 365-day year.
(b) Security deposits held by Owner or paid by any lessees at the
Property will be transferred to Buyer in full at Closing, including any interest
earned thereon and payable to the Tenant under State law.
7
SECTION 6. CONDEMNATION OR CASUALTY. Seller agrees to give Purchaser
prompt written notice of any fire or other casualty occurring to all or any
portion of the improvements at the Property and/or Personalty between the date
hereof and the date of closing. If prior to the closing, there shall occur:
(i) damage to the improvements at the Property caused by fire or
other casualty which would cost 5% of the Purchase Price of the Property or more
to repair based on the estimate of a reputable third party contractor chosen by
Seller; or
(ii) the taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Real
Property and/or the improvements as aforesaid as would materially interfere with
the use thereof; then, if any of such events set forth in (i) or (ii) above
occurs, Buyer or Seller, at its option, may terminate its obligations under this
Agreement by written notice given to Seller within seven (7) days after Buyer
has received the notice referred to above or at the closing, whichever is
earlier. If Buyer does not elect to terminate its obligations as aforesaid, the
closing shall take place as provided herein without an abatement of the purchase
price (except that Buyer shall be allowed a credit for any deductible under
Seller's insurance) and there shall be assigned to the Buyer at closing, all
interest of the Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
which may be payable to Seller on account of such occurrence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, should Buyer elect to terminate, Seller may notify Buyer within
15 days that Seller intends to restore the Premises fully and in that event,
Buyer's termination notice shall be null and void and Seller shall proceed as
outlined above at closing.
If, prior to the closing, there shall occur:
(i) damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty which
would cost less than 5% of the allocable Purchase Price of the Property based on
the estimate of a reputable third party contractor chosen by Seller to which
Buyer has no reasonable objection; or
(ii) the taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the said
Real Property and/or improvements as aforesaid which is not material to the use,
thereof; then, if any of such events set forth in (i) or (ii) above occurs,

there shall be assigned to Buyer at closing all interest of Seller in and to any
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which may be payable to Seller on
account of any such occurrence, and in addition, Buyer shall be allowed a credit
for any deductible under Seller's insurance policy.
