(b) Assumed Indebtedness.  Buyer shall assume (i) that certain mortgage loan in the original principal amount of Sixteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($16,000,000.00) made to the Hartshire Property Owner, (ii) that certain mortgage loan in the original principal amount of Nineteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($19,000,000.00) made to the Brunswick Point Seller and (iii) that certain mortgage loan in the original principal amount of Twenty-Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($23,500,000.00) made to the Creekside Seller (collectively, the “Assumable Loans”).  The documents evidencing and securing the Assumable Loans are listed on Exhibits B-1 through B-3 attached hereto (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).   Buyer shall take title to the Hartshire Property (through its purchase of the Hartshire Limited Liability Company Interests), the Brunswick Point Property and the Creekside Property subject to and shall assume the Assumable Loans (for purposes hereof, the “Loan Assumption”) as more fully set forth in Section 1.4 below.  At the Assumption Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Assumption Purchase Price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Assumable Loans.  Seller represents that the outstanding principal balance of the Assumable Loans is Fifty-Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($58,500,000.00).

(c) Balance of Purchase Price.

(i) The Defeasance Property Purchase Price, less the Defeasance Property Deposit, as adjusted by the prorations and expenses to be received or paid by Buyer at the Defeasance Closing pursuant to this Agreement, shall be paid by Buyer to Escrow Holder prior to the Defeasance Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) in cash or by wire transfer of funds.

(ii) The sum of (A) the Assumption Property Purchase Price and (B) if Buyer does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Live Oak Property pursuant to Section 5.1(b) below, the Individual Property Allocation for the Live Oak Property (as defined below), less (A) the Assumption Property Deposit and (B) the outstanding principal balance of the Assumable Loans, as adjusted by the prorations and expenses to be received or paid by Buyer at the Assumption Closing pursuant to this Agreement, shall be paid by Buyer to Escrow Holder prior to the Assumption Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) in cash or by wire transfer of funds.  

(d) Net Amount to Seller; Defeasance and other Prepayment Penalties.  It is expressly agreed that except as set forth in subsection (c) above, the Purchase Price shall be net to Seller.  Buyer shall pay all costs associated with the prepayment or defeasance of all mortgage loans set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Defeased Loans”), including but not limited to, prepayment or yield maintenance premiums, defeasance premiums above the principal amount of the Defeased Loans, defeasance deposits, custodial fees, accountants’ fees, successor borrower fees and servicer fees and expenses including legal fees (all of the foregoing, the “Defeasance/Prepayment Costs”).  Buyer acknowledges that the cost of the securities required to defease the Defeased Loans will most likely exceed the principal balance of the Defeased Loans and that Buyer is responsible for the payment of such excess.  Seller shall pay only the outstanding principal amount of the Defeased Loans at the Defeasance Close of Escrow from the Defeasance Property Purchase Price and any of Seller’s counsel fees with respect to coordinating the defeasance of the Defeased Loans.  Seller shall retain, at Buyer’s expense, a defeasance consultant reasonably acceptable to Buyer on terms acceptable to Buyer (the “Defeasance Consultant”).  Seller shall take all actions reasonable and necessary to coordinate and complete the defeasance of the Defeased Loans with the Defeasance Consultant and, except for paying the Defeasance/Prepayment Costs at the Defeasance Closing and otherwise reasonably cooperating with Seller and the Defeasance Consultant, Buyer shall have no other responsibilities with respect thereto.  At Buyer’s option upon written notice to Seller, Buyer may instead seek to assume one or more of the Defeased Loans, in which case such loan(s) shall each be treated as an Assumable Loan for purposes hereof and shall be governed by Section 1.4 below, and such Individual Property shall thereafter be treated as part of the Assumption Property for purposes hereof.

(e) Indivisible Economic Package.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 5.1(b) (Live Oak Repairs), Section 6.2 (Risk of Physical Loss) and Section 6.3 (Condemnation) below, Buyer has no right to purchase, and Seller has no obligation to sell, less than (i) all of the Property owned by Property Seller and (ii) all of the Limited Liability Company Interests, it being the express agreement and understanding of Buyer and Seller that, as a material inducement to Seller and Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Buyer has agreed to purchase, and Property Seller and Entity Seller, as applicable, have agreed to sell, in the aggregate, each of the Individual Properties owned by Property Seller and the Limited Liability Company Interests, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

1.4 Loan Assumption.

(a) Seller shall make written request within five (5) business days after the Effective Date for the application package from the lender servicing the Assumable Loans (the “Lender”) that is required for the Loan Assumption (the “Assumption Package”).

(b) Buyer shall submit a written application to the Lender for the Loan Assumption within ten (10) days after receipt of the Assumption Package.  Buyer shall then proceed and diligently pursue in good faith obtaining a conditional commitment from Lender for the Loan Assumption as of Closing (the “Assumption Approval”).  Buyer shall pay all deposits, fees, payments and expenses required or charged by Lender, including without limitation processing fees, application fees, assumption fees, inspection fees, closing fees, Lender’s counsel fees and, except for the Assumption Consultant (as defined below), expenses of consultants arising out of resulting from or related to the Assumption Approval (the “Assumption Costs”), and Buyer’s obligations, liabilities and duties in this regard shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.  Seller’s only expense with respect to the Assumption shall be the payment of fees to 1^st Service Solutions, Inc. (the “Assumption Consultant”) retained by Seller to expedite the Assumption Approval.  Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with the requests of the Assumption Consultant in seeking the Assumption Approval.

(c) Buyer’s agreement to obtain Assumption Approval shall be conditioned upon Lender approving Buyer for assumption of the Assumable Loans on terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents in all material respects and without material modification to the Loan Documents.  Buyer shall not request any material modifications to the terms of the Loan Documents in seeking the Assumption Approval; provided, however, it shall be a condition of the assumption of the Assumable Loans that (i) none of Buyer or any other parties that Lender may require to incur liability in the form of recourse guaranties or environmental indemnities in order to approve Buyer for assumption of the Assumable Loans (each a “Buyer Guaranty Party”) shall be liable on the Assumable Loans for any claims, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, demands, rights, damages, costs, expenses or other compensation whatsoever first arising prior to the Closing Date under recourse guaranties or environmental indemnities (collectively, “Pre-Closing Claims”); or (ii) if the Lender requires Buyer or any Buyer Guaranty Party to be liable on the Assumable Loans for Pre-Closing Claims as a condition to the Assumption Approval, then an affiliate of Seller reasonably acceptable to Buyer shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing an indemnification agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller wherein such affiliate of Seller shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Buyer) and hold harmless Buyer any each Buyer Guaranty Party with respect to all Pre-Closing Claims.  Within five (5) days after receiving the initial draft of the assumption agreement, Buyer shall notify Seller whether the language with respect to the assumption of guarantor liability is acceptable to Buyer for purposes of this Section 1.4(c).  In the event Lender requires any modifications to the terms of the Loan Documents, other than ministerial changes needed to reflect the assumption of the Assumable Loans, the substitution of the borrower and any guarantors and changes to the transfer provisions in light of Buyer’s structure, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 2.5 and receive a return of the Deposit only, less the Non-Refundable Portion which shall be paid to Seller.

-6-

(d) In connection with the Assumption Approval, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain a statement from Lender to Buyer for assumption purposes that includes (a) confirmation as to the outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest and other charges due with respect to the Loan as of the Closing; (b) any reserve deposits which will be held by Lender as of the Closing and (c) confirmation that there are no known outstanding defaults or circumstances that with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, will become a default under the Loan Documents.

(e) Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in pursuing the Assumption Approval, but it shall be a condition of the assumption that Seller, and any other parties with liability on the Assumable Loans in the form of recourse guaranties or environmental indemnities (each a “Seller Guaranty Party”), be released from liability on the Assumable Loans for all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, demands, rights, damages, costs, expenses or other compensation whatsoever first arising from and after the date of Closing under recourse guaranties or environmental indemnities (collectively, “Post-Closing Claims”).  If Lender does not grant such release, an entity reasonably acceptable to Seller shall deliver to Seller at the Closing an indemnification agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller wherein Buyer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold harmless Seller and each Seller Guaranty Party with respect to all Post-Closing Claims.  Within five (5) days after receiving the initial draft of the assumption agreement, Seller shall notify Buyer whether the release language with respect to Post-Closing Claims is acceptable to Seller for purposes of this Section 1.4(e).

(f) Buyer will credit Seller with the amount of any escrows held by Lender in connection with the Assumable Loans, so long as such escrows remain with the Loan and are transferred to Buyer at Closing.

(b) In addition, Seller shall provide to Buyer and Buyer’s agents or representatives (including, without limitation, its accountant and/or auditor) copies of, or shall provide Buyer reasonable access to, such information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Buyer’s auditor to conduct an audit (“Rule 3-14 Audit”), in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-14”), of the balance sheet and income statements of the Property for the year-to-date 2017 plus the two (2) immediately preceding calendar years.  Buyer will use reasonable efforts to cause the Rule 3-14 Audit to be completed within thirty (30) days from the Effective Date.  In connection with Buyer’s Rule 3-14 Audit an executive officer of Entity Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer’s auditor a representation letter for each Individual Property (each an “Auditor Representation Letter”) in the form attached as Exhibit N.

3.2 Physical Inspection.  From and after the Effective Date until 5:00 pm (ET) on the later of (a) October 3, 2017 and (b) the date which is two (2) business days after completion of the Rule 3-14 Audit (the “Due Diligence Period”), Seller shall permit Buyer, its engineers, analysts, contractors, agents and consultants, at the sole cost and expense of Buyer, to conduct physical inspections of the Property; provided, however, that notwithstanding clause (b) above, in no event shall the Due Diligence Period extend beyond forty (40) days after the Effective Date.  Such investigations may be made by Buyer and/or its agents during any normal business hours.  If this Agreement is not terminated (or deemed terminated), Buyer shall continue to have access to the Property until the Closing with the prior consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Seller shall cooperate fully to assist Buyer in completing such inspections and special investigations at no cost or expense to Seller.  Such inspections and investigations shall be conducted only upon no less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice to Seller and shall be conducted at such times and in such a manner as to minimize any disruption to tenants upon the Property.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, (a) all site visits shall be scheduled and announced forty-eight (48) hours in advance and (b) all communications regarding the scheduling of site visits and additional diligence information requests, shall be made through Owner’s representatives at KeyBanc Capital Markets: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx) and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx) and not by contacting Owner or its property manager directly. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accompany Buyer during such investigations and/or inspections.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not perform any invasive or destructive testing of the Property (including a Phase II investigation) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, if any Phase I investigation recommends a Phase II investigation, then Seller shall permit such Phase II investigation).  Buyer shall repair any and all damage to the Property or to any tenant’s property caused by such inspections or investigations in a timely manner and Buyer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold harmless Seller, its partners, members, affiliates, officers, employees, agents and consultants (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any liability whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ costs and fees whether or not legal proceedings are initiated, and if they are, reasonable attorneys’ costs and fees at the trial level and all levels of appeal) sought by the Indemnified Parties to the extent arising from Buyer’s physical inspection of the Property or access to the Property granted hereunder to Buyer, its engineers, analysts, contractors, agents and consultants.  Buyer's indemnification obligations under this Section shall survive the recordation of the Deeds or the termination of this Agreement

-15-

for one (1) year.  As a condition to allowing Buyer, or its engineers, analysts, contractors, agents and consultants access to the Property, Buyer shall obtain and deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance or other evidence satisfactory to Seller that Buyer has in force adequate liability insurance in an amount not less than TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) naming Seller as additional insured, and a copy of such policy upon Seller’s request.  In addition, Buyer shall, not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, advise Seller in writing of the labor, service, supply and maintenance contracts which it elects to assume. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the GA/LA/NC/SC Property and the Limited Liability Company Interests pursuant to this Agreement is contingent upon Buyer being satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the results of its due diligence investigation on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, for any or no reason, prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period by providing written notice of such termination to Seller, whereupon Buyer shall receive immediate return of its Deposit (less the Non-Refundable Portion which shall be paid to Seller) and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as may be otherwise expressly set forth herein.  If, prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer does not furnish written notice to Seller as required in the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the transaction contemplated hereby and Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2 shall be waived.  

3.3 Approval of Title.  Substantially concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Title Company shall prepare and promptly deliver to Buyer title commitments with respect to each Individual Property, together with copies of all recorded instruments specified therein (individually a “Title Commitment” and collectively, the “Title Commitments”). Buyer may at its sole cost and expense order an updated ALTA/NSPS current survey of each Individual Property (individually a “Survey” and collectively, the “New Surveys”). Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of the Title Commitments and the existing as built surveys (collectively, the “Existing Surveys”) of the Property.  Not later than fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall notify Seller and Title Company in writing (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s approval of all matters contained or referenced in the Title Commitments, the Existing Surveys and/or the New Surveys or of any objections Buyer may have to title exceptions or other matters contained in the Title Commitments, or the Existing Surveys and/or the New Surveys (the “Disapproved Title Matters”).  If Buyer fails to timely deliver Buyer’s Title Notice either approving of the condition of title or identifying certain Disapproved Title Matters, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved of the condition of title to the Real Property as disclosed by the Title Commitments.  If Buyer timely delivers Buyer’s Title Notice objecting to certain Disapproved Title Matters, Seller shall have five (5) business days to deliver a written response as to whether Seller will cure and/or remove some or all of the Disapproved Title Matters (“Seller’s Title Response”). If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Response, it will be conclusively presumed that Seller elects to cure and/or remove all Disapproved Title Matters. Buyer shall have five (5) business days after delivery of Seller’s Title Response, if Seller delivers a Seller’s Title Response, to provide written notice to Seller electing to either (1) accept Seller’s Title Response; or (2) terminate this Agreement and receive a full return of the Deposit (less the Non-Refundable Portion which shall be paid to Seller, unless Buyer’s termination relates to Seller’s unwillingness to cure a Mandatory Cure Item), after which the parties shall have no further obligations to each other (except for those obligations hereunder which survive termination) (“Buyer’s Title Response”). If Buyer fails to deliver Buyer’s Title Response, Buyer

-16-

16

will be deemed to have accepted Seller’s Title Response. From and after the date that Buyer delivers Buyer’s Title Notice, upon the issuance of any amendment or supplement to any Title Commitment which adds additional exceptions to the Title Commitment and Buyer’s receipt of any New Survey, the foregoing right of review and approval shall also apply to said amendment, supplement or New Survey, provided, however, that Buyer’s period of review and approval or disapproval of any such additional exceptions (and consequently, Buyer’s waiver of objection or election to terminate, as applicable) shall be limited to the date that is five (5) business days following receipt of notice of such additional exceptions or New Survey and all underlying documents pertaining thereto (provided further that said additional review period shall be inapplicable to any exceptions or matters which are shown on the Existing Survey or otherwise noted by Title Company based upon Title Company’s review of any New Survey received by Buyer prior to Buyer’s delivery of Buyer’s Title Notice).  All title and survey matters that are either affirmatively approved by Buyer or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with this Section 3.3, together with the Assumable Loans, shall be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Permitted Exceptions”.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees, at or prior to Closing, (i) to cause the Title Company to delete from each Title Policy any exception for real estate taxes and assessments due and payable for any period prior to Closing, (ii) except for the Assumable Loans, remove any lien in a liquidated amount created by the acts or omissions of Seller against all or any part of the Real Property including, without limitation, any mortgage (other than payment of the Defeasance/Prepayment Costs, which shall be paid by Buyer), mechanics’, or similar lien or encumbrance that can be satisfied and discharged with the payment of a specified amount of money, (iii) to cause the Title Company to delete from each Title Policy the standard preprinted exceptions that are typically omitted from an owner’s title policy where the Real Property is located, (iv) remove any items filed by Seller after the effective date of a Title Commitment, except to the extent approved by Buyer in writing, and (v) either (I) convey to Buyer fee simple title that is insurable by the Title Company to that certain real property identified as “Except Parcel IV” as shown on the Existing Survey for the Hartshire Property (“Except Parcel IV”), together with all improvements thereon and all appurtenances, streets, alleys, easements, rights-of-way in or to all streets or other interests in, on, across, in front of, abutting, or adjoining such real property, (II) provide written confirmation from the Town of Bargersville that the Town of Bargersville owns fee simple title to Except Parcel IV and publicly maintains Hartshire East Drive as shown on the Existing Survey for the Hartshire Property, or (III) provide other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer confirming that Buyer shall have dedicated access to the Hartshire Property via Hartshire East Drive (items (i) through (v) being collectively referred to herein as the “Mandatory Cure Items”).  In no event shall any Mandatory Cure Item be considered a Permitted Exception for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.  Except with respect to any amendment or supplement to any Title Commitment which adds additional exceptions to the Title Commitment as set forth above, in no event shall the timeframes for notification and response under this Section 3.3 extend beyond the Due Diligence Period, it being agreed that Buyer shall either be satisfied with the Title Commitments, Existing Surveys and/or New Surveys, or it will terminate this Agreement.

sold all or any portion of the Property, directly or indirectly, to a third party purchaser, then, in addition to terminating this Agreement and getting its Deposit (including the Non-Refundable Portion) returned, Buyer may pursue any and all remedies against Seller at law or in equity, including damages.  Buyer shall give Escrow Holder and Seller written notice of Buyer’s election of such remedy.  The term “Out of Pocket Costs” shall mean actual and verifiable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this transaction, not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); provided, however, from and after the Defeasance Closing, such amount shall not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00).

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Effective Date, the Live Oak Property was damaged as a result of a casualty, the repairs to which have not yet been completed and the extent of the damage to which Buyer has not yet had an opportunity to fully inspect and investigate.  Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Live Oak Property by giving written notice of such termination to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Twenty Six Million Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($26,400,000.00 and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remainder of the Property.

(c) Seller hereby agrees to complete all such repairs as set forth on Schedule 5.1(c) (the “Live Oak Repairs”) in a good and workmanlike manner prior to the Assumption Closing.  If Buyer does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Live Oak Property pursuant to Section 5.1(b) above, then at the Defeasance Closing Seller shall escrow with Escrow Holder an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the “Live Oak Escrow Funds”).  If Seller notifies Buyer that the Live Oak Repairs have been completed prior to the Defeasance Closing, Buyer shall within five (5) days inspect the Live Oak Property.  If Buyer agrees that the Live Oak Repairs have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, no escrow shall be required.  If Buyer does not agree, the Live Oak Inspector (as defined below) shall inspect the Live Oak Property, and in the event the Live Oak Inspector agrees the Live Oak Repairs have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, no escrow shall be required.  On or before the date that is ten (10) days prior to the Assumption Closing (or earlier pursuant to the preceding sentence), Buyer and Seller shall cause an independent third-party engineer or similar professional licensed in the State of Louisiana and mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Live Oak Inspector”) to inspect the Live Oak Repairs (the “Live Oak Repairs Inspection”).  If, as a result of the Live Oak Repairs Inspection, the Live Oak Inspector determines that all of the Live Oak Repairs have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, then at the Assumption Closing Escrow Holder shall disburse the Live Oak Escrow Funds to Seller.  If, as a result of the Live Oak Repairs Inspection, the Live Oak Inspector determines that the Live Oak Repairs have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, the Live Oak Escrow Funds shall be released to Seller.  If, as a result of the Live Oak Repairs Inspection, the Live Oak Inspector determines that all, or any portion, of the Live Oak Repairs have not been completed in a good and workmanlike manner, then at the Assumption Closing Escrow Holder shall disburse to Buyer from the Live Oak Escrow Funds an amount equal to the cost (as determined by the Live Oak Inspector) to complete any such Live Oak Repairs that have not yet been completed in a good and workmanlike manner (the “Live Oak Repairs Costs”); provided, however, if the Live Oak Repairs Costs exceed the Live Oak Escrow Funds, Buyer shall receive at the Assumption Closing, in addition to the Live Oak Escrow Funds, a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of such excess.  If the Live Oak Repairs Costs are less than the Live Oak Escrow Funds, then at the Assumption Closing Escrow Holder shall disburse to Seller such remaining portion of the Live Oak Escrow Funds.  The cost of the Live Oak Repairs Inspection and any fees of the Live Oak Inspector shall be divided equally between Buyer and Seller.

(dd) From the date of each Property Owner’s formation to the Closing Date, (i) each such Property Owner has maintained its status as a bankruptcy remote single purpose entity; and (ii) each Property Owner has conducted its operations in material compliance with the single-purpose entity covenants set forth in its organizational documents and any loan documents to which it is or, has at any time been, a party. Each Property Owner has at all times during its existence been a single-member Delaware limited liability company.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement and in addition to any of Buyer’s other remedies hereunder, the representations and warranties and the indemnity included in this Section 5.9 shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed for the Survival Period. Seller’s liability hereunder shall be subject to the terms of Section 6.24 hereof.

ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Covenants of Seller Pending Closing.  

-31-

31

(a) During the term of this Agreement, Seller will continue to manage, operate, lease and maintain the Property in substantially the same manner it has before the execution of this Agreement and shall keep Seller’s insurance policies covering the Property in full force and effect at all times from the Effective Date through the Closing Date.  Any rental unit that becomes vacant more than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date shall be prepared and made in Rent Ready Condition (as defined below).  Failure to comply with the covenant in the foregoing sentence shall not be a default under this Agreement, provided that, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.1(a), Buyer shall receive a credit equal to One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) for each unit that becomes vacant more than five (5) days prior to the Closing but is not prepared and made in Rent Ready Condition as of the Closing Date.  In addition to the foregoing, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.1(a), Buyer shall receive a credit equal to Seven Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($750.00) for each unit that becomes vacant within five (5) days prior to the Closing unless the same is made in Rent Ready Condition.  Buyer shall have access to each vacant unit at the Property two (2) days prior to the Closing to confirm that such units are in Rent Ready Condition as required herein.   As used herein, the term “Rent Ready Condition” shall mean that the applicable unit has been cleaned, all drywall within such unit has been patched, painted and is free of holes or other damage, all carpet and other flooring within such unit is free of stains and without visible wear and tear, all appliances are present in such unit and in good working order, all HVAC, plumbing and electric servicing such unit is in good working order, all doors and windows in such unit are free of damage and in good working order and such unit is otherwise free of significant damage.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if following Buyer’s inspection of the vacant units Buyer identifies any missing appliances, significant damage or other material conditions the cost of which to repair or replace would exceed the applicable credit for a vacant unit to which Buyer is entitled above, Buyer shall receive an additional credit at the Closing in the amount of such excess as mutually agreed upon between Buyer and Seller.  Except as otherwise approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion, all new leases entered into after the Effective Date shall be (i) arms-length transactions at current market rents consistent with Seller’s past practices with respect to the applicable class of units at the Property, (ii) on Seller’s standard form of lease, (iii) for a term of twelve (12) months, and (iv) with no ongoing or material upfront rent concessions (collectively, the “Leasing Parameters”).  

(b) Notwithstanding the terms of subsection (a) above:

(i) After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (i) without the consent of Buyer, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, Seller will not enter into any new service agreement or contract affecting any Individual Property that cannot be terminated without a fee and/or without more than thirty (30) days’ notice; and (ii) without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seller will not enter into any new service agreement or contract affecting the Property that can be terminated without a fee and upon not more than thirty (30) days’ notice;  

(ii) After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, without the consent of Buyer, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, none of the leases affecting the Property will be amended to reduce the rents or other charges thereunder or will be renewed for rents or other charges which are less than those payable prior to such renewal; and

-32-

32

(iii) The failure of Buyer to respond to a request for its consent to an agreement or contract, or an amendment or extension of a lease, or a new lease that does not meet the Leasing Parameters, within three (3) business days of Seller’s request therefor shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s consent thereto.

(iv) Seller will not remove any personalty from the Property, other than office supplies, cleaning supplies and other similar items utilized in the ordinary course of business and items of equipment and other personalty which are replaced by Seller with an item of the same or better quality in the ordinary course of business;

(v) Seller will not alter or amend in any way which would be binding upon Buyer or the Property after the Closing, the zoning or any other governmental approval or permit affecting the Property; and

(vi) Seller will not file, or contract with any party to investigate or file, any tax assessment appeal with respect to any Individual Property.

6.2 Risk of Physical Loss.  Buyer shall be obligated to acquire an Individual Property pursuant to this Agreement, notwithstanding that such Individual Property is damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, provided that (i) such Individual Property can be repaired for less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) and the applicable damage does not materially and adversely affect access to parking or any of the Improvements located on such Individual Property, (ii) the cost to repair such damage is covered by insurance maintained by or for Seller, (iii) Seller assigns to Buyer all insurance proceeds, other than proceeds expended in restoration and repair by Seller and rental loss proceeds applied to rents accruing through the Close of Escrow, and (v) Seller credits to the account of Buyer in Escrow, the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance (not to exceed the cost of repair).  Any such casualty is hereinafter referred to as a “non-material insured casualty”.  In the event of casualty damage to any Individual Property, other than a non-material insured casualty, Buyer may, at its option, either terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Individual Property by giving written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such casualty from Seller, in which event Buyer shall receive a return of a portion of the Deposit as calculated based upon a fraction the numerator of which is the Individual Property Allocation for the applicable Individual Property and the denominator of which is the Purchase Price, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remainder of the Property, or elect to proceed with its purchase of the Property, in which event Seller shall transfer and assign to Buyer all insurance proceeds and all rights to receive insurance proceeds by reason of such damage through Escrow, other than proceeds expended in restoration and repair by Seller and rental loss proceeds applied to rents accruing through the Closing Date and shall credit Buyer’s account in Escrow the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance (not to exceed the cost of repair).  If the right to receive any such insurance proceeds to be assigned to Buyer is not assignable by Seller to Buyer, Buyer may either terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Individual Property by giving written notice of such termination to Seller within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller that such insurance proceeds are not assignable, in which event Buyer shall receive a return of a portion of the Deposit as calculated based upon a fraction the numerator of which is the Individual Property Allocation for the applicable Individual Property and the denominator of

-33-

33

which is the Purchase Price, or elect to close the Escrow, in which event Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer the proceeds of any such insurance received by it following the Close of Escrow, except to the extent such proceeds are in reimbursement for restoration and repair costs incurred or to be incurred by Seller prior to the Close of Escrow and/or rental loss proceeds for rents accruing prior to the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 6.2, the Non-Refundable Portion shall remain unaffected by a partial termination hereunder and shall continue to be held by the Escrow Holder.

6.3 Condemnation.  In the event that, prior to the Close of Escrow, any governmental entity shall commence any actions of eminent domain or similar type proceedings to take any material portion of any Individual Property (i.e., one for which the condemnation award is One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00 or more) or access to the parking area or any building is materially or adversely effected or permanent use of any apartment unit is eliminated, Buyer shall have the option either to (i) elect not to acquire such Individual Property, in which event Buyer shall receive a return of a portion of the Deposit as calculated based upon a fraction the numerator of which is the Individual Property Allocation for the applicable Individual Property and the denominator of which is the Purchase Price, or (ii) complete the acquisition of the Property, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to all the proceeds of such taking. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 6.3, the Non-Refundable Portion shall remain unaffected by a partial termination hereunder and shall continue to be held by the Escrow Holder.

6.4 Intentionally Omitted.

6.5 Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of any action or legal proceeding between Buyer and Seller seeking enforcement or interpretation of any of the terms and conditions to this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the Property, the prevailing party, whether by fixed judgment or settlement (and whether or not prosecuted to completion), shall be entitled to recover, in addition to damages, injunctive or other relief, its reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees and costs of appeal at all levels.

6.6 Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly relating to this Agreement whether based on contract, tort or any other theory.

6.7 Notices.  All written notices under this Agreement shall be effective upon (i) personal delivery to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or (ii) e-mail transmission with a hard copy deposited in United States mail, or (iii) one (1) business day after deposit with an overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express), or (iv) three (3) business days after deposit in the United States mail, registered, certified, postage fully prepaid and addressed to the respective parties as follows:

(b) By Buyer.  Except as provided in this Section, Buyer may not assign this Agreement and/or its rights hereunder without the consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.  Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.  Buyer shall be permitted, however, to assign this Agreement and the right to purchase the Property to a Buyer Affiliate without the consent or approval of Seller provided that Seller is given written notice of such assignment at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date and, at the request of Seller, Buyer provides a certification that such assignee is a Buyer Affiliate, and such Buyer Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Buyer Affiliate” means any entity that is directly or indirectly controlled by Buyer or an affiliate or subsidiary of Independence Realty Trust (as a manager, general partner, or other similar capacity) and in which Buyer owns a majority economic interest.  Buyer shall not be released and discharged from any liability or obligations under this Agreement on account of such assignment.

6.23 Limited Liability.  The obligations of Seller under this Agreement and under all of the documents referenced herein are intended to be binding only on the assets of Seller and Guarantor (as defined in Section 6.23 below) and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any member of Seller or any trustee, partner, member, manager, officer, director, employee or affiliate of Seller.

6.24 Seller's Maximum Aggregate Liability; Minimum Claim.  

(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any documents executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller for Seller’s breaches of representations and warranties herein, or in any documents executed by Seller at Closing shall not exceed Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00) in the aggregate.  In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no liability for, and Buyer shall not make any claim on account of, any breach of any representation or warranty herein except to the extent the aggregate measure of such claims exceeds Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Close of Escrow occurs, Buyer hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity or under this Agreement to make a claim against Seller or Guarantor for damages that Buyer may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transaction, as the result of any of Seller's representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if Buyer had actual knowledge that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Close of Escrow. The provisions of this Section 6.24 shall survive the Closing.

(b) In consideration of Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, Entity Seller (“Guarantor”) hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer and its assignees any liability of Seller arising from Seller’s misrepresentation under Section 5.9 hereof, subject in all cases to the cap on liability set forth in clause (a) above.  Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to (a) continue as an entity in good standing during the Survival Period or, if any claim is properly filed by Buyer during the Survival Period in respect of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.9 hereof, then until the resolution of such claim, and (b) remain adequately capitalized so that Guarantor shall be able to satisfy the payment and performance of any claim asserted by Buyer during the Survival Period in respect

8. The undersigned make this affidavit for the purpose of inducing First American to include the non-imputation endorsement as described in Paragraph 2 with the knowledge that First American would not issue such non-imputation endorsement without having first received this affidavit and will rely on the assurances and representations made herein.
