purchase of the Properties, subject to such Title Defect, (ii) designate the

the Defective Property Basket is not exceeded, or (iii) if the designation of
such affected Property as an Excluded Property would cause the Defective
Property Basket to be exceeded, terminate this Agreement. If the Purchaser fails
to respond within said ten (10) day period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to
have waived such Title Defect as provided in (i) above. If the Seller elects to
cure such Title Defect, the Seller shall use diligent efforts to cure the Title
Defect by the Closing Date (as it may be extended as provided below), which may
include insuring over or bonding off such Title Defect at the Seller's expense,
but the Seller shall not be required to spend any money or bring any legal
action to cure any such Title Defect (other than the payment of any amount
necessary to satisfy, insure or bond over a monetary Lien). The Seller shall
have at least thirty (30) days to cure any Title Defect, and, if the Closing
Date shall fall within such period during which the Seller may cure such Title
Defect, then the Closing Date shall be postponed for a period up to thirty (30)
days (but not beyond December 31, 1997) in order to give sufficient time to
satisfy, release, cure or remove such Lien or exception. Upon the cure, removal,
insurance over or bonding off of any such Title Defect, the Closing Date shall
be scheduled upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Seller, but in no
event earlier than the original Closing Date, notwithstanding such Title Defect.
If the Seller is unable to cure, remove, bond off or otherwise dispose of any
such Title Defect on or before the Closing, as the Closing may be extended as
provided above, then the Purchaser shall have the right to choose among the
options described in (i)-(iii) above in this Section 4.5.

notice of any damage to any Property, describing such damage and whether such
damage is covered by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage.

Closing, (ii) at the Closing, the Purchaser shall receive all insurance
proceeds not applied to the repair of any such Property prior to the
Closing (including rent loss insurance applicable to any
- 8 -
period from and after the Closing) due to the Seller for the damage,
together with an assignment of any unsettled insurance claim, and (iii)
after the Closing, the Purchaser shall assume the responsibility for
the repair after the Closing. The Purchaser shall be entitled to any
excess of the proceeds of insurance over and above the actual cost of
repair and restoration. No modification to the Purchase Price or the
Allocation Schedule shall result from such event.
(b) If such damage renders untenantable more than thirty percent
(30%) of the apartment units within a Property, the Purchaser may elect
by notice to the Seller given within twenty (20) Business Days after
the Purchaser is notified of such damage (and the Closing shall be
extended, if necessary, to give the Purchaser such twenty (20) Business
Day period to respond to such notice) to (i) proceed in the same manner
as in the case of damage described in subparagraph (a) above, or (ii)
designate the affected Property an Excluded Property pursuant to
Section 4.8 hereof, provided the Defective Property Basket is not
exceeded, or (iii) if the designation of such affected Property as an
Excluded Property would cause the Defective Property Basket to be
exceeded, terminate this Agreement. Any waiver of the matters addressed
in this Section 4.6 pursuant to clause (i) above shall be deemed an
election by the Purchaser to follow the procedures described in
subparagraph (a) of this Section 4.6.
4.7. Condemnation. The Seller shall give the Purchaser prompt
written notice of the institution or threat of any exercise of the power of
eminent domain on any Property or portion thereof. If the exercise of such power
of eminent domain would result in a taking of more than thirty percent (30%) of
the apartment units at such Property, the Purchaser may elect by notice to the
Seller given within twenty (20) Business Days after the Purchaser shall have
received the notice of such institution or threat (and the Closing shall be
extended, if necessary, to give the Purchaser such twenty (20) Business Day
period to respond to such notice) to (i) proceed with the Closing and receive
any condemnation award or proceeds from any such proceeding, without
modification to the Purchase Price or the Allocation Schedule, or (ii) designate
the affected Property an Excluded Property pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof,
provided the Defective Property Basket is not exceeded, or (iii) if the
designation of such affected Property as an Excluded Property would cause the
Defective Property Basket to be exceeded, terminate this Agreement.
4.8. Defective Property Basket. A Property may be designated an
Excluded Property under this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Sections
4.5, 4.6, and 4.7 hereof. In addition, a Property may be designated an Excluded
Property pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Reorganization Agreement
as a result of the following: (i) the breach of a representation or warranty set
forth in Article 7 of the Reorganization Agreement with respect to such Excluded
Property which has a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) the failure of a condition
precedent set forth in Article 10 of the Reorganization Agreement which relates
to the affected Excluded Property, and in such events any such Property so
designated an Excluded Property under the Reorganization Agreement shall be
deemed an Excluded Property hereunder. In the event that the number of apartment
units within (i) all of the Excluded Properties designated pursuant to Sections
4.5, 4.6, 4.7, and this 4.8 and (ii) all of the Other Excluded Properties
designated pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Reorganization Agreement
is less than one thousand (1,000) units, then the Seller and Purchaser will
remain obligated to consummate the transactions described herein (as modified to
exclude the Excluded Properties) notwithstanding such matters, assuming
satisfaction in full of each other condition set forth in this Agreement or
waiver by the appropriate party of any such condition. In such event, (i) the
Excluded Properties shall no longer be deemed part of the Properties hereunder,
(ii) the Excluded Properties shall not be sold by the Seller to the Purchaser
hereunder, and (iii) the Allocation Schedule shall be amended to delete the

information for the Properties for the year of Closing, if then
available, or if not, then on the basis of the ad valorem tax bills for
the Properties for the year immediately preceding the year in which the
Closing occurs and all assessments of any kind on the Properties which
are due and payable in installments. Should such proration be based on
such ad valorem tax bills for the immediately preceding year and should
such proration prove to be inaccurate on receipt of the ad valorem tax
bills for any Property for the year of Closing, either the Seller or
the Purchaser may demand at any time after Closing a payment from the

10.1.1. Mutual Consent. At any time prior to the Closing Date,
with the written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser;
10.1.2. Termination by Purchaser. At any time prior
to the Closing Date, by the Purchaser (provided the Purchaser is not in
breach of any of its material obligations hereunder), if there shall
have been a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty
of the Seller hereunder, or failure of any condition to the Purchaser's
obligation to close, and such breach or failure shall not have been
remedied within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Seller of a
notice in writing from the Purchaser specifying the breach or failure
and requesting such be remedied (and the Closing Date shall be extended
to provide for such cure period), provided such termination right shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof;
10.1.3. Termination by Seller. At any time prior to
the Closing Date, by the Seller (provided the Seller is not in breach
of any of its material obligations hereunder), if there shall have been
a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of the
Purchaser hereunder, or any failure of any condition of the Purchaser's
obligation to close, and such breach or failure shall not have been
remedied within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Purchaser of a
notice in writing from the Seller specifying the breach or failure and
requesting such be remedied (and the Closing Date shall be extended to
provide for such cure period), provided such termination right shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof; or
10.1.4. Failure to Close by Closing Date. If the
Closing has not taken place by December 31, 1997 (notwithstanding any
extensions otherwise provided herein), at any time thereafter by the
Seller or the Purchaser, upon delivery of written notice of termination
to the other; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 10.1.4 shall not be available to any party
whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been
the cause of or has resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on
or before such date.
10.2. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 10.1, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall
terminate, except for the obligations that expressly survive the termination of
this Agreement. No such termination shall relieve any party from liability
pursuant to Section 10.3 below.
- 16 -
10.3. Remedies. In the event that a party shall fail to perform
such party's obligation to consummate the transactions as described herein (a
"Default"), all conditions precedent to such party's obligation to perform
having been met, the sole and exclusive remedy of the non-defaulting party shall
be as follows:
10.3.1. Specific Performance Against Seller. The sole
and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser in the event of a Default by the
Seller hereunder shall be (i) to terminate this Agreement as provided
in Section 10.1.2., without any claim for and waving any right to
collect damages, or (ii) to pursue legal action to obtain specific
performance of the Seller's obligations hereunder. The Seller
acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall have the right to seek
specific performance of this Agreement against the Seller in the event
of a Default by the Seller hereunder.
10.3.2. Remedy upon Purchaser's Default. The sole and
exclusive remedy of the Seller in the event of a Default by the
Purchaser hereunder shall be to terminate this Agreement, and the
Purchaser shall pay to the Seller within five (5) Business Days after
such termination, as liquidated damages for such Default, the cash
amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). The parties agree that in the
event of a Default by the Purchaser, the damages from such Default
would be difficult to determine, and that the foregoing liquidated
damages amount is a reasonable estimate of the actual, out-of-pocket
costs that would be incurred by the Seller if the transactions were not
consummated. The Seller agrees not to bring an action before any
Government Entity against the Purchaser seeking specific performance
against the Seller or damages on account of the Default, it being
agreed that the liquidated damages amount stated herein shall be the
sole remedy to the Seller.
