Section 6.3 Prorations.
(a) Real estate taxes and assessments constituting a lien and allocable to the payment period that includes the Closing Date, personal property taxes, if any, collected rental income and all other items of income and expense with respect to operations of the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date on the basis of the actual number of days in the month and on the basis of the accrual method of accounting. All such items attributable to the period through and including the Closing Date shall be credited to Seller; all such items attributable to the period following the Closing Date shall be credited to Buyer. Buyer shall be credited in escrow with (i) any portion of rental agreement or lease deposits which are refundable to the tenants under the Leases together with interest payable to tenants thereon pursuant to local law, (ii) collected rent prepaid beyond the Closing Date for the portion attributable for beyond the Closing Date. Buyer shall not be entitled to any interest on rental or lease deposits or prepaid rent accrued on or before the Closing Date except for amounts payable to tenants thereon under local law, and (iii) the amount of $1,000 for each apartment unit at the Property that has been vacant for five (5) or more business days as of the Closing Date and is not in Rent-Ready Condition as of the Closing Date. “Rent Ready Condition” shall mean that such apartment unit (1) has been thoroughly cleaned, (2) has been recently painted (if such apartment was in such condition as would in accordance with Seller’s customary practice require painting), (3) has all appliances in good working condition, (4) has floors fully covered with a combination of tile or linoleum and carpeting, all of which shall be in average or better condition, and (5) has blinds and/or drapes, to the extent existing in the unit, on all windows in average or better condition.

Seller shall also be credited in escrow with any prepaid real estate taxes and assessments allocable to the period after the Closing Date.
(b) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to produce prior to the Closing Date a schedule of prorations to be made on and after the Closing Date as complete and accurate as reasonably possible. With respect to taxes or other expenses payable or reimbursable by the tenants of the Property, the amounts prorated between Buyer and Seller shall be the net amounts (if any) not subject to payment or reimbursement by the tenants. All prorations which can be liquidated accurately or reasonably estimated as of the Closing Date shall be made in escrow on the Closing Date. All other prorations, and adjustments to initial estimated prorations, shall be made by the parties with due diligence and cooperation within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary information for proration, by immediate cash payment to the party yielding a net credit from such prorations from the other party, which obligation of the parties shall survive Closing.
(c) Buyer shall, consistent with reasonable business judgment, exert commercially reasonable efforts to collect for Seller following the Closing Date all rental income which is delinquent on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to commence legal proceedings to collect such rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, Seller
13.
reserves the right to pursue after the Closing any remedy Seller may have against any tenant with respect to such delinquent rents, except the remedy of eviction. Any sums collected on account of rents after the Closing Date shall be successively applied to the payment of (i) rent due and payable in the month in which the closing occurs, (ii) rent due and payable in the months succeeding the month in which the closing occurs, and (iii) rent due and payable in the months preceding the month in which the closing occurs.
(d) For any apartment units which become vacant during the period that is five (5) business days or less before the Closing Date which are not in Rent Ready Condition on the Closing Date, Buyer, as its sole and absolute remedy, shall be credited in escrow with an amount equal to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for each such vacant unit.
Section 6.4 Other Closing Costs.

At or following the close of escrow, Buyer and Seller each shall execute any certificate or other instruments required by law or local custom or otherwise reasonably requested by the other party to effect the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Damage, Destruction or Condemnation.
(a) Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the Purchase Price as required by the terms of this Agreement without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to or destruction of the improvements on the Real Property, provided that the occurrence of any
14.
damage or destruction (i) involves repair costs of less than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price which are covered by insurance (excepting deductibles), or (ii) if not covered by insurance, involves repair costs of $500,000 or less (either being “Minor Damage”). If Buyer is so bound to purchase notwithstanding the occurrence of the Minor Damage, or Buyer elects to proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated herein notwithstanding any amount of damage or destruction, upon the close of escrow: (A) in the event of damage or destruction covered by insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount (net of collection costs) of the insurance deductible and any insurance proceeds collected and retained by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction and Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights to such insurance proceeds as shall not have been collected prior to the close of escrow; and (B) in the event of damage or destruction not covered by insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit (not to exceed $500,000) in the amount of the estimated cost to repair the damage. In the event of any damage or destruction of the improvements on the Real Property which is not Minor Damage, Buyer may elect, by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the date that is ten (10) days after the date Buyer is notified of such damage or destruction, to terminate this Agreement and in such event the Option Payment and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. If Buyer does not make such election within such ten (10) day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to (i) not terminate this Agreement, and (ii) proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.
(b) If, before the Closing, any portion of the Property with a value in excess of $500,000 is taken by eminent domain by any governmental entity, or Seller receives written notice from any governmental authority regarding commencement of condemnation proceedings regarding any portion of the Property with a value in excess of $500,000, then Buyer shall have the option to either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the date that is ten (10) days after the date Buyer is notified of such taking or proceedings, and in such event the Option Payment and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated herein without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, in which latter case Seller shall assign to Buyer any amounts due from or pay to Buyer any amounts received from any governmental entity as a result of the taking. In the event the portion of the Property which is taken or the subject of proceedings has a value of equal to or less than $500,000, then the transaction shall proceed in accordance with (ii) above. If Buyer does not make such election within such ten (10) day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to (i) not terminate this Agreement, and (ii) proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.
Section 7.2 Brokerage Commissions and Finder’s Fees. Each party to this Agreement warrants to the other that no person or entity can properly claim a right to a real estate commission, real estate finder’s fee, real estate acquisition fee or other real estate brokerage-type compensation (collectively, “Real Estate Compensation”) based upon the acts of that party with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except as provided at the end of this Section 7.2. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the other against and to hold the other harmless from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and returned commissions) resulting from any claim for Real Estate Compensation by any person or entity based upon such acts. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
15.
Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services Inc. (“Seller’s Broker”) is acting as Seller’s broker, and if and only if the Close of Escrow occurs, Seller shall be responsible for the Real Estate Compensation payable to Seller’s Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Buyer acknowledges that Seller and Seller’s Broker are affiliated companies.
Section 7.3 Successors and Assigns. Buyer may not assign any of Buyer’s rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller; provided that Buyer may assign this Agreement (a) to an entity affiliated with Buyer which has, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, the financial capacity to perform the obligations of Buyer hereunder, or (b) to an entity directly or indirectly owned and managed by the principals of Buyer, or (c) an entity that is a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) (or that is wholly owned directly or indirectly by a REIT) for which Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer acts as the investment advisor and/or co-sponsor and/or is a member of the sub-advisor for such REIT. No assignment by Buyer shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the limitations on assignment expressed in this Section 7.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Buyer and Seller and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.13 Limited Liability. Buyer agrees that any liability of Seller under any claim brought prior to the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered simultaneously or in connection with, or pursuant to this Agreement, shall be limited solely to its interest in the Property, and no other assets of Seller shall be subject to levy or execution (subject in all cases to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Damages Cap). With respect to any such claim brought following the Closing, any liability of Seller shall be limited to Seller’s assets and to an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of the Property, subject in all cases to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Damages Cap. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that the net proceeds of the sale of the Property will be in excess of $500,000. In no event shall Buyer seek satisfaction for any obligation of Seller from any of Seller’s members, managers or affiliates or from any members, managers, affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, agents, legal representatives, successors or assigns of such members or managers (collectively, the “Seller Parties”), nor shall any of the Seller Parties have any personal liability for any such obligations of Seller; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Buyer brings a claim following the Closing pursuant to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered simultaneously or in connection with, or pursuant to this Agreement and Seller has distributed net proceeds of the sale of the Property to such Seller Parties, such proceeds shall be subject to a claim by Buyer as if such were Seller’s assets, subject in all cases to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Damages Cap.
With respect to any claim brought by Seller against Buyer following the Closing Date, any liability of Buyer shall be limited to Buyer’s interest in the Property. After the Closing Date, in no event shall Seller seek satisfaction for any obligation of Buyer from any of Buyer’s members, managers or affiliates or from any members, managers, affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, agents, legal representatives, or successors or assigns of such members or managers, nor shall any such person or entity have any personal liability for any such obligations of Buyer.

Section 7.14 Confidentiality. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the existence of this Agreement, the terms and conditions set forth herein, the results of Buyer’s inspections, reviews, or studies, the constituent ownership of Seller, any involvement in this transaction or in Seller’s ownership by principals of Seller, and all other information provided by Seller or developed by Buyer relating to the Property (collectively, the “Private Information”), are to be kept strictly confidential. Accordingly, except as may be required by law or court order, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, release, publish or otherwise distribute (and shall not authorize or permit any other person or entity to release, publish or otherwise distribute) any of the Private Information to any person or entity other than Buyer’s legal and financial advisors, each of whom shall agree to hold such information strictly confidential as if such persons were bound by the provisions of this Section 7.14. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall impair Buyer’s (or its permitted assignee’s) right to disclose
18.
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 Buyer or its permitted assignees, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any Form S-11 Registration Filing) with governmental agencies (including the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Buyer or in any permitted assignee of Buyer, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s investors.
Section 7.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts. All counterparts so executed shall constitute one contract, binding on all parties, even though all parties are not signatory to the same counterpart.
Section 7.16 Tax Deferred Exchange. Upon the request of either party (the “Requesting Party”) to this Agreement, the other party (the “Non-Requesting Party”) agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Requesting Party in consummating the sale of the Property as part of a simultaneous or non-simultaneous tax-deferred exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that (i) the Non-Requesting Party shall not be required to take title to any property other than the Property, (ii) the Closing Date shall not be delayed or extended thereby; and (iii) this Agreement and the Closing shall not be contingent upon consummating the Exchange. The Requesting Party shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an accommodation entity (the “Intermediary”), which will cause the Closing to occur on the Requesting Party’s behalf. All of the Requesting Party’s liabilities, representations and warranties under this Agreement shall remain those of the Requesting Party and the Non-Requesting Party shall not seek recourse against the Intermediary with respect to such liabilities or for the breach of any such representations or warranties. Performance by an Intermediary in effectuating an exchange will be treated as if such performance were made by the Requesting Party, and the Requesting Party shall remain the primary obligor for the full and timely performance of all obligations of the Requesting Party under this Agreement. In the event of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, or other obligations, the Non-Requesting Party shall proceed directly against the Requesting Party. The Non-Requesting Party shall not be required to assume any liabilities as a result of the exchange transaction that are in addition to those which would exist if the transaction were effectuated as a sale by the Requesting Party and not effectuated as an exchange. The Requesting Party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Non-Requesting Party) and hold harmless the Non-Requesting Party from and against any and all claims, loss, cost, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Non-Requesting Party and arising out of or relating to the Non-Requesting Party’s participation in the Exchange.
Section 7.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the attached exhibits, which are by this reference incorporated herein, and all documents in the nature of such exhibits, when executed, contain the entire understanding of the parties and supersede any and all other written or oral understanding.
