1. Premises. The real estate which is the subject of this Agreement consists of 27 single family homes, in the State of Tennessee, which are identified and generally described on Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all of the improvements and structures located thereon (“Improvements”), any heating and ventilating systems and other fixtures located therein or thereon, and all rights, interests, benefits, privileges, easements and appurtenances to the land and the Improvements, if any (collectively, the “Premises”).

3. Sale/Conveyance and Assignment. Seller agrees to sell, convey and assign to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to buy and assume from Seller, at the price and upon the other terms and conditions hereafter set forth (a) the Premises, (b) the Personal Property, (c) the Improvements, and (d) the Leases (a-d collectively, the “Property”).

4. Transfer of Title.

(c) The Leases shall be assigned by Seller and assumed by Buyer by an Assignment Leases and Contracts (the “Assignment of Leases and Contracts”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

5. Purchase Price; Deposit.

(a) Delivery of Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be the price identified in the Basic Terms (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be subject to reduction in accordance with this Section 5 and Section 7(d) and payable by Buyer to Seller as follows:

(1) Within five (5) business days after the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit into an escrow account (the “Escrow”) established with Escrow Holder (as identified in the Basic Terms), which will serve as escrow holder for this transaction a deposit in the amount of the Deposit (as identified in the Basic Terms above). If Buyer notifies Seller that it elects to proceed to purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, then the Deposit (as defined in the Basic Terms) will become non-refundable to Buyer, except in the event of a default or breach of this Agreement by Seller. The Deposit shall at all times prior to Closing be invested in United States treasury obligations or such other interest bearing accounts or securities as are approved by Buyer in writing; all interest earned on the Deposit will be administered, paid or credited (as the case may be) in the same manner as the Deposit and, when credited to the escrow account shall constitute additional Deposit. At the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”), Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the Deposit.

(2) The Purchase Price, less a credit for the Deposit, and plus or minus prorations and adjustments as set forth in Section 17 hereof, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds on the Closing Date.

(b) Property Valuation. Buyer may elect to retain an independent, third-party valuation consultant to prepare a valuation report (“Valuation Report”) for each of the properties that comprise the Property. If the sum of the values of the properties that comprise the Property (“Total Valuation”) is less than the Purchase Price, then at Closing the Purchase Price will be reduced by the amount that the Purchase Price exceeds the Total Valuation; provided that Buyer will have no right to a Purchase Price reduction in excess of ten percent (10%) of the original Purchase Price without Seller’s written agreement. If the Purchase Price exceeds the Total Valuation by more than 10% of the Purchase Price, and Seller does not agree to reduce the Purchase Price to the Total Valuation, then Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller at least two business days before the then-scheduled Closing Date, elect to (i) close the transaction as contemplated with a ten percent (10%) reduction of the Purchase Price or (ii) terminate this Agreement. If Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5(b), then this Agreement will have no further force or effect, the parties will have no further obligations to each other (except for any indemnities or other provisions that expressly survive termination of this Agreement) and Escrow Holder shall refund the Deposit to Buyer.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5(b) above and Section 7(d) below, Buyer may, in lieu of adjusting the Purchase Price as a result of necessary repairs and replacements or a Total Valuation that is less than the Purchase Price in accordance with those provisions, elect to exclude specified properties from the properties identified on Exhibit A. If, as a result of its due diligence investigations, Buyer elects to exclude one or more properties from the Property being acquired in accordance with this Agreement, then at least two business days before the Closing Date, Buyer will notify Seller that certain specified properties (“Excluded Properties”) are to be excluded from the sale contemplated in this Agreement. Following Buyer’s notification to Seller and identification of the Excluded Properties, (i) the description of the properties that comprise the Property, as identified on Exhibit A, will be deemed modified to exclude the Excluded Properties; and (ii) the Purchase Price will be reduced by the product of the number of homes that comprise the Excluded Properties and the value assigned to each home (the “Assigned Home Value”). Once Buyer identifies to Seller the Excluded Properties, those properties so identified will no longer be the subject of this Agreement and Seller will be free to sell them to another party or take any action that Seller elects with respect to the Excluded Properties.

(1) Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller will not enter into any contract (other than new Leases) that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing Date except for contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without payment of a penalty on not more than 30-days’ notice.

(2) Seller will not remove any Personal Property from the Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and in the event of such replacement, the replacement shall be of materially equal or better quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal.

(7) Seller shall repair all homes that become vacant at least five (5) days prior to the Closing to “rent-ready” condition in accordance with Seller’s customary practice and procedure for the Property. Buyer shall receive a $3,500 credit against the Purchase Price with respect to any unit that is vacant and not in “rent ready” condition on the Closing Date. At Buyer’s request, Seller shall inspect each of the vacant units prior to the Closing to determine if any of such units cannot be restored to “rent ready” condition at a cost of $3,500 or less, and Buyer and Seller hereby agree to make such adjustments to the $3,500 per unit credit as Buyer and Seller agree, acting reasonably, are necessary in order to pay for the cost of restoring the vacant units to “rent ready” condition. Upon request, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed as to the status of leasing prior to the Closing Date and shall deliver to Buyer copies of all new Leases.

(e) Representation and Warranties Prior to Closing. The continued validity in all respects of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the party to whom the representation and warranty is given to close this transaction. If any of Seller’s representations and warranties are not true and correct at any time on or before the Closing even if true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or whether any change in facts or circumstances has made the applicable representation and warranty no longer true and correct and regardless as to whether Buyer becomes aware of such fact through Seller’s notification or otherwise, then Buyer may, at Buyer’s option, exercised by written notice to Seller (and as its sole and exclusive remedy), either (i) proceed with this transaction, accepting the applicable representation and warranty as being modified by such subsequent matters or knowledge and waiving any right relating thereto, if any, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and declare this Agreement of no further force and effect and in which event Escrow Holder shall, without further instruction, return the Deposit to Buyer and Seller shall have no further liability hereunder by reason thereof; provided, that if the breach of any representation or warranty of Seller hereunder results from the willful and intentional act of Seller, Buyer will have the rights and remedies available to Buyer under Section 18(b) of this Agreement upon a default by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement.

7. Due Diligence Period.

(a) Buyer will have a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 6:00 PM Pacific Time on the date that is 30 days after Buyer has received all Property Information set forth in Schedule 6(a)(3) (the “Due Diligence Period”) to examine, inspect, and investigate the Property and, in Buyer’s sole judgment and discretion, to determine whether Buyer desires to purchase the Property. If Buyer is acting diligently and in good faith to proceed with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Seller will agree, upon the written request of Buyer, to extend the Due Diligence Period up to fourteen (14) days. Buyer agrees to submit a notice to Seller confirming Buyer has received all Property Information once received and the date of the notice will become the Effective Date.

(b) Buyer may terminate this Agreement for any or no reason by giving written notice of such termination to Seller on or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7, the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other under this Agreement except for the indemnity provisions set forth in Section 7(c) of this Agreement and any other provision of this Agreement that is expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated escrow is required to return Buyer’s Deposit immediately and Seller agrees and will not cause escrow to delay the return of the Deposit to Buyer for any reason. If Buyer does not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall notify Seller of Buyer’s intention to acquire the Property before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If Buyer does not, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, either affirmatively notify Seller of its desire to acquire the Property or send a termination notice to Seller, then Buyer will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects to proceed to purchase the Property, and this Agreement is not terminated or deemed terminated before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then the Deposit shall be non-refundable except in the event of a default hereunder by Seller.

(c) Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Seller will provide to Buyer reasonable access to the Property for the purpose of examining any or all aspects thereof, including conducting on a non-destructive basis, surveys, architectural, engineering, non-invasive geo-technical and environmental inspections and tests, and any other inspections, studies, or tests reasonably required by Buyer. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable notice by telephone or e-mail before entering onto any of the properties that comprise the Property to perform inspections or tests, and in the case of tests (i) Buyer shall specify to Seller the precise nature of the test to be performed, and (ii) Seller may require, as a condition precedent to Buyer’s right to perform any such test, that Buyer deliver Seller evidence of public liability and other appropriate insurance naming Seller as an additional insured thereunder. Such examination of the physical condition of the Property, including the Third Party Inspection Report (defined in Section 7(d) below) may include an examination for the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes, which shall be performed or arranged by Buyer at Buyer’s sole expense. Buyer shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens and will indemnify, protect, defend, and hold each Seller Related Party (defined below) harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from damage to the Property and injury to persons asserted against or incurred by any Seller Related Party as a result of such entry by Buyer, its agents, employees or representatives (except that Buyer shall have no liability or indemnity obligation for any diminution in the value of the Property as a result of any unfavorable analysis, test, study, opinion or recommendation made to or for or reach by Buyer). If any inspection or test disturbs the Property and Buyer does not acquire the Property, Buyer will restore the Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to any such inspection or test. Buyer and its agents, employees, and representatives may, upon not less than 24 hours prior telephonic notice to Seller, examine and make copies of all books and records and other materials relating to the condition of the Property in Seller’s possession at the office where such records are maintained. Any information provided to or obtained by Buyer with respect to the Property shall be subject to the provisions of Section 22(p) of this Agreement. The obligations of Buyer under this Section shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

(d) Buyer may retain a contractor or home inspector to prepare a report or reports describing the physical condition of the Property (collectively, the “Third Party Inspection Report”), which Third Party Inspection Report shall adequately identify any necessary repairs, replacements, or improvements and the estimated costs of such repairs or improvements (collectively, the “Necessary Repairs”). The person or entity preparing the Third Party Inspection Report must be licensed to perform such inspections in the jurisdiction where the Property is located, and may not be, or have ever been, owned or controlled by Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer or otherwise not at arm’s length from Buyer. Buyer will provide a copy of the Third Party Inspection Report to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If any Necessary Repairs are identified in the Third Party Inspection Report and subject to the limitations set forth below, Seller shall have the right to (i) make the Necessary Repairs after Closing and the estimated cost of the Necessary Repairs as set forth in the Third Party Inspection Report shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Holder until such Necessary Repairs are completed as described in Section 7(d)(1) below, or (ii) reduce the Purchase Price by the estimated cost of the repairs or replacements set forth in the Third Party Inspection Report. In the event Seller elects to reduce the Purchase Price, Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price will not be reduced by an amount greater than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price without Seller’s written agreement. If the cost to make the repairs and replacements identified in the Third Party Inspection Report exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, and Seller does not agree to reduce the Purchase Price by the identified cost of such repairs and replacements as set forth in the Third Party Inspection Report, then Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller and prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, elect to (i) close the transaction as contemplated with a ten percent (10%) reduction of the Purchase Price or (ii) terminate this Agreement. If Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7(d), then this Agreement will have no further force or effect, the parties will have no further obligations to each other (except for any indemnities or other provisions that expressly survive termination of this Agreement) and Escrow Holder shall refund the Deposit to Buyer. The reductions to the Purchase Price contemplated in this Section 7(d) are in addition to those contemplated in Section 5(b) and 5(c) of this Agreement.

(1) If Seller elects to make the repairs contemplated in Section 7(d) above, a Purchase Price Escrow Repair Holdback amount of 10% of purchase price ($214,000) (the “Purchase Price Escrow Repair Holdback”) shall be withheld by the Escrow Holder until such time as Seller has completed all Necessary Repairs to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction. Such Necessary Repairs shall be completed by Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, not later than ninety (90) days after Closing (the “Holdback Repair Period”). Seller shall provide to Buyer invoices and related back-up documentation reasonably acceptable to Buyer pertaining to all Necessary Repairs, as well as photographs reasonably acceptable to Buyer depicting each and every item to be repaired before such repair has begun and after such repair has been completed. Purchase Price Holdback funds shall remain held by the Escrow Holder until all Necessary Repairs are completed to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction. Upon the end of the Holdback Repair Period or sooner upon Buyer’s election, Buyer shall review the status of the Necessary Repairs and, if any repairs have been completed to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, Buyer shall at that time instruct the Escrow Holder to release funds pertaining to such completed repairs described in the Third Party Inspection Report. If after Buyer’s review of the Necessary Repairs Buyer determines that all of the Necessary Repairs have been completed during the Holdback Repair Period, any Purchase Price Escrow Repair Holdback funds remaining in Escrow Holder’s custody shall be released to Seller.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, in addition to the rights set forth in Sections 5(c), 5(b) and 7(d), at any time during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may in its sole discretion, elect to designate specified properties from the properties identified on Exhibit A as Excluded Properties as defined in Section 5(c). In the event of such an election, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a notice stating which properties it has designated as Excluded Properties no later than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Notice to Seller”). Upon delivery of the Notice to Seller, the designated properties described in the Notice to Seller shall be Excluded Properties, and the terms of Section 5(c) shall apply with respect thereto.

All real estate taxes and assessments (“Taxes”) assessed against the Property for the year of Closing shall be prorated as follows: Seller will be responsible for the payment of Taxes applicable to the period before the Closing Date, and Buyer will be responsible for the period on and after the Closing Date. If the actual taxes and assessments cannot be determined for such year as of the Closing Date, then the parties shall make such proration based upon one hundred ten percent (110%) of the most recently issued tax xxxx for the Property and thereafter, make a final adjustment of such Taxes upon receipt of the final xxxx. The provisions of this Section 17(a)(1) shall survive Closing.

(2)

(3) Collected Rent. Buyer shall receive a credit for any rent and other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under Leases collected by Seller before Closing that applies to any period after Closing. Uncollected rent and other uncollected income shall not be prorated at Closing. After Closing, Buyer shall apply all rent and income collected by Buyer from a tenant (x) first to such tenant’s rental obligations for the month in which the Closing occurs, (y) next to such tenant’s monthly rental for the month in which the payment is made, and (z) then to arrearages in the reverse order in which they were due, remitting to Seller, after deducting collection costs, any rent or expense reimbursements properly allocable to Seller’s period of ownership. Buyer shall xxxx and attempt to collect such rent arrearages in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any rent arrearages. Any rent or other income received by Seller or Buyer after Closing which are owed to Seller or Buyer shall be remitted to Seller or Buyer as applicable, promptly after receipt.

(b) Tenant Security Deposits. All unapplied tenant security deposits (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) under the Leases, shall be credited to Buyer at Closing.

(1) Service Contracts. With respect to any contracts that are assumed by Buyer and survive the Closing, Seller shall receive a credit for prepaid charges and premiums applicable to Buyer’s period of ownership. The Buyer shall receive a credit for any payments made in arrears. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, Buyer shall receive a credit under any assumed contract (each a “Service Provider Contract”) in which Seller has received any advance payments or other income from the servicer provider under such Service Provider Contract in exchange for agreeing to enter into such Service Contract (regardless of whether such advance payment or other income was paid in a lump sum or in installments). Any lump sum payments shall be pro-rated on a straight line basis over the term of any applicable Service Provider Contract.

(2) Owner Deposits. Seller shall be entitled to the return of all bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items, if any, that are outstanding with respect to the Property that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates, agents or investment advisors to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity (collectively, “Owner Deposits”). Buyer shall replace such Owner Deposits. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not receive a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt.

(c) Final Prorations. With regards to any prorations set forth in this Section 17 that are based upon estimates, such prorations shall be readjusted based upon the actual bills after the Closing and before the expiration of the Limitation Period. The provisions of this Section 17(c) shall survive Closing.

18. Default; Termination. (a) IF THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BECAUSE OF BUYER’S DEFAULT, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE PROPERTY AND THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY APPLICABLE LAWS, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 18, SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION IS INTENDED TO BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR A DEFAULT BY BUYER, BUT IS NOT INTENDED AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSTRUED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY BUYER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

SELLER’S INITIALS: _____ BUYER’S INITIALS: _____

(b) If Seller defaults in any material respect hereunder, then provided Buyer is not in default any material respect, Buyer may, at its sole election, either:

(1) Terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, as well as Buyer’s actual out of pocket costs to unrelated and independent third party vendors, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of this transaction, which costs and fees shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other, except for the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement; or

(2) Assert and seek judgment against Seller for specific performance with respect to one or more (at Buyer’s election) of the properties that comprise the Property; provided that if Buyer elects to purchase less than all of such properties, then the Purchase Price will be reduced by the aggregate Assigned Home Value of the excluded properties. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to assert and seek judgment against Seller for actual contract damages.

19. Expenses.

(a) Buyer shall pay Buyer’s closing costs, including Buyer’s attorney’s fees, title insurance premiums for the Title Policy, all state and county transfer taxes, all recording fees related to the recording a the Special Warranty Deed or any Deed of Trust or related loan document, and half of the Escrow Holder fee.

(b) Seller shall for the cost of the title abstract and for Seller’s closing costs, including Seller’s attorney’s fees and half of the Escrow Holder fee.

(c) All other costs, charges, and expenses shall be borne and paid as provided in this Agreement, or in the absence of such provision, in accordance with custom where the properties in question are located.

20. Intermediaries. Seller represents to Buyer, and Buyer represents to Seller that there are no fees owed to any broker, finder, or intermediary of any kind with whom such party has dealt in connection with this transaction. Except as expressly set forth above, if any claim is made for broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any such claim based upon any statement, representation or agreement of such party, which obligation shall survive Closing.

21. Destruction of Improvements.

(a) If, prior to Closing, any of the Improvements on any of the properties that comprise the Property are damaged or destroyed such that the cost of repair or replacement of such improvements is material (“Material Damage”), or a condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened in writing by a governmental or quasi-governmental agency with the power of eminent domain (“Condemnation”), then:

(1) Buyer may elect, within fourteen (14) days from receipt of notice of said Material Damage, or notice of a Condemnation, by written notice to Seller, to exclude the individual property affected by such event from this transaction; provided that if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the properties that comprise the Property suffer Material Damage, or become the subject of a Condemnation, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement. If necessary, the time of Closing shall be extended to permit Buyer to evaluate and make the elections contemplated in this Section 21. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 21, then the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, except for the provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect, and neither party shall have any liability to the other by reason hereof; or

(2) If Buyer elects to exclude certain properties from this transaction, and proceed to the Closing, then the Purchase Price will be reduced by the aggregate Assigned Home Value of the excluded properties. If, however, it is determined that any damage to one or more properties does not constitute a Material Damage, or Buyer elects to purchase one or more properties that have suffered Material Damage, then the transaction contemplated hereby shall be closed without a reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer Seller’s rights in any insurance proceeds or Condemnation award to be paid to Seller in connection with such damage or Condemnation, and, in the case of Material Damage, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the deductible under Seller’s policy of casualty insurance and Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer all required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items.

(b) For purposes of this Section 21, damage or destruction will be considered “Material Damage” if one or more of the properties that comprise the Property are rendered uninhabitable, or if the time to repair such damage, despite reasonable expectations with respect to repairs, is reasonably by Buyer to exceed three months. If, prior to Closing, any of the improvements on the Property are damaged or destroyed and such damage is not Material Damage, Buyer shall remain obligated to close hereunder with no abatement in the Purchase Price. At Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer Seller’s rights in any insurance proceeds to be paid to Seller in connection with such damage or destruction, and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s casualty insurance policy.

22. General Provisions.

In any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, an action must be brought in Federal or State court, as applicable, in the County of Shelby, City of Memphis, Tennessee. The provisions of this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement.

(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain the signatures of less than all of the parties, and all of which shall be construed together as but a single instrument.

(k) Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or proceeding brought by either party against the other under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses including its attorneys’ fees in such action or proceeding in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments made or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the court’s decision. If the party that commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding dismisses or discontinues it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party. The provisions of this Section 22(k) will survive any termination of this Agreement.

(l) Construction. This Agreement will not be construed more strictly against either party by virtue of the fact that it was prepared by one party or its counsel, it being recognized that each party hereto has had the opportunity to review, have its counsel review, and provide input into this Agreement. All words herein that are expressed in the neuter gender shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and any word herein that is expressed in the singular or plural shall be deemed, whenever appropriate in the context, to include the plural and the singular.

(m) Reporting Obligations. Seller and Buyer hereby designate Escrow Holder to act as and perform the duties and obligations of the “reporting person” with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of 26 C.F.R.

If required under applicable law, Seller, Buyer and Escrow Holder shall execute at Closing a Designation Agreement designating the Escrow Holder as the reporting person with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(n) 1031 Exchange. Either party may involve this transaction in a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, the cost and expense of which will be borne solely by the party invoking such structure. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in such structure, provided that the party that is not participating in a like-kind exchange shall incur no material costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with the other’s exchange and will not be required to take title to or contract for purchase of any other property. If either party uses a qualified intermediary or exchange accommodator to effectuate the exchange, any assignment of the rights or obligations of such party shall not relieve, release or absolve such party of its obligations to the other.

(o) Bulk Sales. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer, any permitted assignee of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement and any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, agents, employees and advisors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, expenses, liens, actions and causes of actions (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may be incurred by, or asserted against, Buyer, any of the other Indemnified Parties or the Property by reason of either such noncompliance with the Bulk Sales laws applicable in the state or states where the Property is located, or the failure of Seller to have paid any taxes, penalties or interest which are the subject of such laws. The provisions and obligations of this Section 24(o) shall survive the Closing.

(p) Confidentiality. Buyer, Seller, and their respective representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, including, without limitation, the operation and management of the Property, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery hereof, as well as of Buyer’s plans to purchase the Property or other properties in other locations, and shall not use such data or information for purposes unrelated to this Agreement or disclose the same to others except as expressly permitted hereunder. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to prevent Buyer or Seller from disclosing to their prospective lenders or investors, or to its officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, architects, engineers and consultants to perform their designated tasks in connection with Buyer’s inspection and proposed acquisition of the Property, provided Buyer advises any such party of the confidential nature of the information disclosed. However, neither party shall have this obligation concerning information which: (a) is published or becomes publicly available through no fault of either the Buyer or Seller; (b) is rightfully received from a third party; or (c) is required to be disclosed by law. Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing in this Agreement will prevent or be deemed to limit Buyer’s ability to disclose the existence of this Agreement, and the nature of any material terms herein, to the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency to which Buyer, or its successors hereunder, have a disclosure obligation under any applicable law. The terms of this Section 22(p) shall survive the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

(q) Post-Closing Vacancy Holdback. Fifteen Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000) of the Purchase Price (the “Post-Closing Vacancy Holdback”) shall be withheld by the Escrow Holder subject to the following terms. If any of the properties that comprise the Property become tenantless or vacant because the tenant or other occupant breached the lease or other occupancy agreement within ninety (90) days after Closing, for each such property, Buyer shall provide back-up documentation reasonably satisfactory to Seller documenting the breach and missing tenant or vacancy and shall be refunded Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) from the Post-Closing Vacancy Holdback. After ninety (90) days have elapsed after the closing, the balance of the Post-Closing Vacancy Holdback, if any, shall be delivered to Seller.

(r) Post-Closing Return of Properties. If during the ninety (90) day period after Closing Buyer learns that any leases, other occupancy agreements or contracts of any kind on properties that comprise the Property provide the tenant, occupant or any other third party with an option to purchase the property, a right of first refusal, a right of first offer or any other contractual option or right to purchase the property, then the sale of such property to Buyer shall be rescinded and the purchase price of such property shall be refunded by Seller to Buyer within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s written notice to Seller. Buyer’s notice to Seller shall include back-up documentation reasonably satisfactory to Seller demonstrating the existence of the option to purchase the property, a right of first refusal, a right of first offer, or any other contractual option or right to purchase the property.
