2. XXXXXXX MONEY.

(a) Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date, Buyer must deliver to First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company” or “Escrow Agent”), Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxx, Esq., as escrow agent, the sum of $750,000.00 (by wire transfer) as xxxxxxx money (the “Initial Xxxxxxx Money”). If Buyer does not timely deliver the Initial Xxxxxxx Money as provided in this Section, this Contract will terminate and neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination of this Contract. $50,000.00 of the Initial Xxxxxxx Money will become non-refundable to Buyer upon deposit of the Initial Xxxxxxx Money, except in the event of Seller’s default under this Contract (the “Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money”). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if this Contract terminates for any reason other than Seller’s default and Buyer becomes entitled to a return of the Xxxxxxx Money, the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money will be paid over by the Title Company to Seller as independent consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Contract and Buyer’s inspection rights hereunder. Buyer acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Contract, any refund of the Xxxxxxx Money provided for in this Contract will be reduced by the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money.

(b) Unless Buyer sooner elects to terminate this Contract, Buyer must deposit additional xxxxxxx money in the amount of $1,000,000.00 (by wire transfer) with the Title Company within one (1) business day following the Feasibility Period Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) (the “Additional Xxxxxxx Money”). If Buyer fails to deposit the Additional Xxxxxxx Money in the time and manner required, this Contract will terminate and neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination of this Contract.

(c) The Initial Xxxxxxx Money, the Additional Xxxxxxx Money (if and when required to be deposited hereunder) and any Extension Xxxxxxx Money (hereinafter defined, if and when required hereunder), and any interest earned on any of the foregoing are collectively referred to in this Contract as the “Xxxxxxx Money”. At the option of Buyer, all Xxxxxxx Money will be held by the Title Company in one or more government-insured interest-bearing account(s) satisfactory to Buyer (which shall have no penalty for early withdrawal), and shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or any other person or entity. The Xxxxxxx Money (other than the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, which shall become non-refundable when deposited) will become non-refundable to Buyer upon the Feasibility Period Expiration Date (or, as to the Additional Xxxxxxx Money and any Extension Xxxxxxx Money, upon deposit), except as otherwise expressly provided by this Contract. If the transaction contemplated by this Contract is closed, the Xxxxxxx Money will be applied to the Sales Price at the closing of the sale and purchase of the Property (the “Closing”). If the transaction is not closed, the Xxxxxxx Money will be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Contract.

(d) If either Seller or Buyer terminates this Contract pursuant to a right to do so under this Contract (such party, the “terminating party”), Escrow Agent is authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to the party entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money under the terms of this Contract on the sixth (6^th) business day following the terminating party’s delivery of written notice of termination to both Escrow Agent and the other party to this Contract (the “non-terminating party”) unless the non-terminating party delivers written notice to Escrow Agent that it disputes the right of the terminating party to receive the Xxxxxxx Money on or before 5:00 p.m., Central time on the fifth (5^th) business day following delivery of such notice. In the event of a dispute regarding the party entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money, Escrow Agent may interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in Greenville County, South Carolina. All attorneys’ fees and costs and Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Xxxxxxx Money or, if the Xxxxxxx Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in inverse proportion to such distribution. As used in this Contract, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required to be closed for business in the State of South Carolina. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d) to the contrary, with respect to any delivery by Buyer of any Termination Notice prior to the Feasibility Period Expiration Date pursuant to Section 4.(a) of this Contract, or if no Waiver Notice is provided by Buyer prior to the Feasibility Period Expiration Date under Section 4.(a) of this Contract, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Buyer, less the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, without further instruction from Seller, and deliver the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money to Seller without further instruction from Buyer, within two (2) business days of receipt of such Termination Notice or failure of receipt of such Waiver Notice, as applicable.

(e) Escrow Agent shall deliver written confirmation of the date of receipt of the signatures of each of Seller and Buyer, the Initial Xxxxxxx Money, the Additional Xxxxxxx Money and any Extension Xxxxxxx Money to the parties in the manner set forth in Section 16.(a) of this Contract. This Contract shall be countersigned by Escrow Agent and the provisions hereof shall constitute joint escrow instructions to Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Contract relating to the Xxxxxxx Money will expressly survive any termination of this Contract.

3. CONTRACT SALES PRICE: The total purchase price for the Property (the “Sales Price”) will be $66,800,000.00. The Sales Price (as adjusted for credits, prorations and costs as provided in this Contract) will be paid by Buyer at Closing in U.S. dollars by cashier’s check or certified check drawn on a national banking association acceptable to Seller or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (the foregoing types of funds are hereinafter referred to as “Immediately Available Funds”).

4. FEASIBILITY STUDY AND INSPECTION:

(a) Commencing on the Effective Date, but subject to Buyer’s compliance with the terms of this Section 4 and to Buyer’s not being in default under this Contract, Buyer is granted the right, at Buyer’s sole expense, to enter onto the Property in order to conduct any engineering and/or market and economic feasibility studies of the Property, physical inspections of the Property, including a Phase I environmental study (but not a Phase II without Seller’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld), and any other non-invasive test, study, review or inspection of the Property and, to the extent copies are not provided to Buyer by Seller pursuant to Section 6, to review and copy Seller’s books and records relating to the Property and any of the documents described in Section 6, and other matters necessary in the sole discretion of Buyer to evaluate and analyze the feasibility of the Property for Buyer’s intended use thereof (the “Feasibility Study”). Buyer or its designated agents, independent contractors, prospective lender(s) or investor(s), and/or employees (collectively, “Buyer’s Agents”) may enter upon the Property for purposes of any tests, reviews and inspections that Buyer deems necessary for the Feasibility Study; however, all such tests, reviews and inspections will be conducted in a manner so as not to cause permanent damage to the Property and that

minimize inconveniences to and interruption of the tenants of the Property. If Buyer determines, in its sole judgment, that Buyer wishes to proceed with the purchase of the Property, Buyer may waive its termination rights under this Section by delivering written notice to Seller (the “Waiver Notice”) not later than 4:00 p.m., pacific standard time on May 27, 2015 (the “Feasibility Period Expiration Date”), and within one (1) business day following the Feasibility Period Expiration Date, delivering the Additional Xxxxxxx Money to the Title Company. If Buyer does not deliver the Waiver Notice and deposit the Additional Xxxxxxx Money as required in the prior sentence, this Contract will automatically terminate without any further action by either party, the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, will be returned to Buyer, the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money will be delivered to Seller, and, thereafter, neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those rights and obligations which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Contract. If Buyer delivers the Waiver Notice and Additional Xxxxxxx Money in the manner and within the time provided in this Section, the right of Buyer to terminate this Contract provided in this Section 4.(a) will be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes. At any time prior to the Feasibility Period Expiration Date, Buyer may terminate this Contract for any reason or for no reason whatsoever by delivery of written notice of such termination to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Termination Notice”), in which event this Contract will automatically terminate without any further action by either party, the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, will be returned to Buyer, the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money will be delivered to Seller, and, thereafter, neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those rights and obligations which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Contract.

(b) If Buyer's inspections cause any change, alteration or damage to the Property and this Contract is terminated for any reason, Buyer must restore the Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such change, alteration or damage, at Buyer's sole expense. The provisions of the previous sentence shall control over any conflicting or inconsistent provisions contained in this Contract and shall survive termination of this Contract for a period of three (3) months; provided however that if Seller has provided written notice to Buyer specifying, with reasonable detail, a repair Buyer is required to make hereunder, then such three-month period shall be extended until the repair is completed by Buyer and approved by Seller.

(c) Promptly following receipt of payment from Seller for the actual costs thereof, Buyer agrees to provide Seller with a copy of all third-party studies and reports prepared for it by Buyer’s Agents relating to the Property, except for economic feasibility studies (collectively, “Buyer’s Due Diligence Materials”), within seven days of receipt of such payment; provided however that such delivery shall be expressly without any representation or warranty and without right of reliance thereon, and shall be subject to any confidentiality requirements of the provider of such report. Buyer’s obligations under the prior sentence will survive termination of this Contract for a period of three (3) months, provided, however, that if Seller has provided written notice to Buyer requesting any study or report Buyer is required to provide hereunder, then such three-month period shall be extended until the study or report is provided by Buyer.

(d) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SELLER OR SELLER’S CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS, WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTION DESCRIBED IN THIS CONTRACT CLOSES, BUYER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES AND CAUSES OF ACTION (EACH AND COLLECTIVELY, A “CLAIM”) ARISING OUT OF BUYER’S ENTRY ON THE PROPERTY AND/OR THE FEASIBILITY STUDY PERFORMED BY BUYER AND BUYER’S AGENTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BUYER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR EXPENSES RESULTING FROM THE DISCOVERY OF ADVERSE INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROPERTY OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECULATIVE, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. Any provision to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the provisions of the previous sentence shall survive termination of this Contract for any reason for a period of three (3) months from the date of termination with respect to any Claim of Seller other than related to third-party Claims, and three (3) months after Seller’s receipt of written notice of such Claim

with respect to any claim based on a Claim made by a third party (but in no event later than three (3) months after the expiration of such third-party’s applicable statute of limitations to make such Claim) and, if Seller notifies Buyer of any Claim within such applicable period, will survive and continue until the indemnification obligation related to such Claim is satisfied.

(e) Prior to any entry upon the Land by Buyer or Buyer's Agents, Buyer must secure, at Buyer's expense, the following policies of insurance, which must include coverage of the activities of Buyer and Buyer's Agents on the Property: (a) comprehensive general and property damage insurance, including direct contractual and contingent liability, with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 for bodily injury to, or death of, any person, or more than one person, on an occurrence basis, and $1,000,000 for property damage in any one or more accidents, with aggregate operations on an occurrence basis; and (b) comprehensive automobile liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 for personal injury to, or death of, any one or more persons, in any one accident, and $1,000,000 for property damage in any one or more accidents. These policies of insurance must be issued on an occurrence basis, maintained in effect at all times during the term of this Contract, name Seller as an additional insured and provide that the policies may not be terminated without 30 days' prior written notice to Seller. Copies of the certificates of coverage confirming Seller’s designation as an additional insured must be delivered to Seller prior to any entry on the Land by Buyer or Buyer's Agents. This Contract supersedes and replaces the Access Agreement dated April 27, 2015, which is hereby terminated.

(f) Buyer must give Seller written notice prior to the Feasibility Period Expiration Date of any Service Contracts Buyer wishes to assume at Closing. Any Service Contracts that Buyer does not elect to assume will be terminated by Seller as of the Closing Date at no cost to Buyer; provided, however, that if Seller is unable to terminate any Service Contracts without payment of a fee or penalty in excess of $10,000.00, then Seller will give written notice to Buyer of such inability and Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, choose, by giving written notice to Seller within two business days of Seller’s delivery of such notice, to either (i) pay the amount of the fee or penalty that exceeds $10,000.00, in which case Seller will terminate such Service Contracts, (ii) assume such Service Contracts and proceed to Closing, or (iii) terminate this Contract. In the event of such a termination, the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, will be returned to Buyer, the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money will be delivered to Seller, and, thereafter, neither party will have any further right or obligation hereunder except those rights and obligations which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Contract. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, both before and after Closing, to obtain any approvals or consents required to assign any Service Contracts that Buyer elects to assume, including, without limitation, sending requests for such approvals or consents to the party or parties whose consent or approval is required. If Seller fails to timely send any such request for approval or consent, Buyer may do so in Seller’s name. Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.(f) shall survive Closing for a period of three (3) months.

5. TITLE APPROVAL:

(a) Within five days after the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Buyer (i) a current Commitment for Title Insurance under which First American Title Insurance Company commits to issue to Buyer an owner’s title insurance policy in the form approved by the American Land Title Association dated as of the date of Closing in the amount of the Sales Price (the “Owner’s Title Policy”), together with copies of all recorded instruments affecting the Property and included as exceptions in the Commitment for Title Insurance or otherwise referenced therein (collectively, the “Commitment”); (ii) a current tax certificate regarding ad valorem property taxes; and (iii) a copy of Seller’s most recent existing survey of the Land. Buyer, at its sole option and expense, may obtain an updated survey (the “Updated Survey”) and, if it elects to do so, will provide Seller with a copy of the Updated Survey. The existing survey, together with any Updated Survey obtained by Buyer, are collectively called the “Survey”. If Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, objects to any items disclosed in the Commitment or Survey, Buyer will give Seller written notice of its objections by 4:oo pm EDT May 22, 2015. If Buyer gives timely written notice of any objections,

Seller may, but will not be obligated to (except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 5(a)), give written notice to Buyer within five (5) business days of receipt of Buyer’s notice, stating either that (i) Seller will not remove or remedy any or all of such disapproved matters, or (ii) Seller will remove and remedy some or all of such disapproved matters. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any objections set forth in the written notice from Buyer (except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 5(a)) unless Seller agrees in Seller’s discretion to cure any such objections in writing. Seller’s lack of response shall be deemed as Seller’s refusal to remove or otherwise cure the objections in Buyer’s notice prior to Closing (except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 5(a)). If Seller elects not to (or is deemed to have refused to) remove or remedy any or all of such objections, then no later than five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s response (or deemed response, if no response is given), Buyer may elect to either (i) terminate this Contract, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, will be returned to Buyer, the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money will be delivered to Seller, and, thereafter, neither party will have any further right or obligation hereunder except those rights and obligations that are expressly stated to survive termination of this Contract, or (ii) waive the unsatisfied objections (which will then become Permitted Exceptions, as defined below) and proceed to Closing. Buyer’s delivery to Seller of the Waiver Notice shall constitute Buyer’s election of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any exception contained in the Commitment or matter shown on the Survey that is not objected to by Buyer in the manner and within the time period specified in this Section will be deemed accepted by Buyer. The term “Permitted Exceptions”, as used in this Contract, will mean those exceptions to title set forth in the Commitment or matters shown on the Survey that have been accepted or deemed accepted by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall be obligated to cure the following objections: (i) financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Sales Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such financing liens, (ii) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created as a result of Seller’s actions after the date of the Commitment without Buyer’s consent, as provided in Section 5.(b) below, and (iii) any objections which Seller has agreed, in writing, to cure.

(b) If, after the date of the Commitment and prior to the date of Closing, title to the Property becomes subject to any additional lien, encumbrance or other exception other than as a result of Buyer’s (0r Buyer’s Agent’s) acts or omissions or a Permitted Exception, Seller will have the obligation to remove that exception. If Seller is unable to remove the exception, Seller will notify Buyer and Buyer, within five business days after receipt of Seller’s notice, may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, elect either to (i) terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money, less the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money, will be returned to Buyer, the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money will be delivered to Seller, and, thereafter, neither party will have any further right or obligation hereunder except those rights and obligations that expressly survive termination of this Contract, (ii) waive the exception (which will then be deemed a Permitted Exception) and proceed to Closing, or (iii) if such lien, encumbrance or other exception is caused by Seller’s act or failure to act in material violation of the terms of this Contract, exercise its rights and remedies under Section 9.(b). If Buyer makes no election, Buyer will be deemed to have elected to waive the exception. Closing shall be delayed as needed to provide Buyer with the full five business day election period provided herein, but for no longer period.

6. SUBMISSION MATTERS: Within three business days after the Effective Date, Seller, to the extent that such items exist and are in Seller’s or Seller’s agents’ possession or control, at the sole expense of Seller, will deliver to Buyer (through an electronic drop-box to the extent feasible, and otherwise at the property manager’s office at the address of the Land) copies of the documents and instruments pertaining to the Property listed on the attached Exhibit “B” (the “Submission Matters”).

(i) If the amount of any items to be prorated under Section 7.(f) or Section 7.(g) is not known on the Proration Date, they shall be apportioned on the basis of the amounts for the immediately preceding period, with a reapportionment as soon as the new amounts can be ascertained. A subsequent cash adjustment of all prorations between Seller and Buyer will be made when actual figures are available, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date (except for ad valorem taxes, which are addressed in the following sentence). If ad valorem taxes for the year in which the sale is closed are not available on the Closing Date, taxes will be prorated based on the taxes assessed in the previous year, with a subsequent cash adjustment to be made between Seller and Buyer, if necessary, when actual tax figures are available. If any errors or omissions in computing prorations as of the Proration Date are discovered subsequent to the Closing Date, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and the party owing any sum to the other party will reimburse the party to whom payment is due within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor. The parties’ obligations under Subsections 7.(c).(2), (f), (g) and (h) of this Contract and this Section 7.(i) will survive Closing.

(j) Not more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Closing Date (“Walk Through Date”), a representative of Buyer and a representative of Seller shall conduct an onsite walk-through of the then unoccupied rental units on the Property to determine whether such unoccupied rental units are in “rent ready” condition. With respect to any rental unit that is vacated either (a) on or before five (5) days prior to the Closing Date that Seller has not placed in a “rent ready” condition before the Walk Through Date or (b) on or after the Walk Through Date, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Sales Price at Closing in the amount of $750 per unit. As used herein, “‘rent ready’ condition” means the condition that Seller places unoccupied units in, pursuant to Seller’s practice and procedures as of the date of this Contract, prior to making units available for rental. Nothing contained in this Section 7.(j) shall be construed as limiting Buyer’s rights or increasing Seller’s obligations under the other provisions of this Contract.

8. BROKER: Seller agrees to pay at Closing, but only if, as and when the Closing actually occurs and the Sales Price is funded to Seller, a real estate commission to CBRE, Inc. (the “Broker”), in accordance with a separate written commission agreement between Seller and the Broker. Buyer will have no obligation with respect to this commission or any other fees to Broker relating to this Contract and Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any commissions or claims of Broker. Buyer and Seller each represents and warrants to the other that it has not engaged or utilized any other agents or brokers in connection with this transaction and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any commissions or claims of any other agents, brokers or similar parties claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party.

9. DEFAULT:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections 9.(a)(1) and (2), below, if the transaction contemplated by this Contract is not consummated due to Buyer’s breach or failure to perform all of its obligations under this Contract, Seller may, if such breach or failure is not cured by the third business day after written notice thereof from Seller (except with respect to Buyer’s obligation to deliver the Sales Price on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.(d), for which no notice or cure period shall be required), as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Contract and receive the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages. The foregoing notwithstanding:

(1) If, after termination of this Contract, Buyer fails to perform or comply with any of its obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Contract (collectively, “Buyer’s Post Termination Obligations”), then Seller will be entitled to (a) recover damages for Buyer’s failure to comply with Buyer’s Post Termination Obligations; (b) enforce specific performance of Buyer’s Post Termination Obligations; and (c) recover from Buyer any amounts to which Seller is entitled under Section 11 hereof. Seller’s recovery or retention of the Xxxxxxx M

xxxx will not limit Seller’s right to exercise the remedies set out in subparts (a), (b) and (c) of the preceding sentence.

(2) If Buyer files a lis pendens or an action for specific performance against Seller or records or causes to be recorded any document that creates a title encumbrance affecting or against the Property and fails to prevail in a final, non-appealable judgment, Seller will be entitled to pursue any remedies available at law or in equity with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, a suit for damages and recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE XXXXXXX MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY BUYER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND IS NOT A PENALTY. SELLER AND BUYER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 9(a) IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SUBSECTIONS 9(a)(1) and 9(a)(2)) AGAINST BUYER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY BUYER OF ITS COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO BUYER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT THE SAME EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.

(b) If the transaction contemplated by this Contract is not consummated due to Seller’s breach or failure to perform all of its obligations under this Contract, or Seller otherwise materially defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Buyer to perform hereunder or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect (such that it, in Buyer’s good faith discretion, is unwilling to purchase the Property and/or Buyer’s investors or lenders are unwilling to invest in or finance the Property), and such default or breach is not cured by the fifth (5^th) business day after receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer (except that no notice or cure period shall be required if Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder on the Closing Date), Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Contract and recover the Xxxxxxx Money, and Buyer’s Costs (as hereinafter defined) incurred as of the date of such termination in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00; provided, however, if Buyer elects to terminate this Contract due to a willful and intentional default by Seller, in addition to the recovery of the Xxxxxxx Money and Buyer’s Costs incurred as of the date of such termination in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00, Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any actual non-refundable rate-lock, spread-lock or similar fees incurred by Buyer in connection with the financing of the Property; further provided, however, the termination of this Contract shall not be effective, and Buyer shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any costs or fees under this clause (i), unless and until Buyer provides Seller written notice of such willful and intentional default and Seller fails to cure such default within the five (5) business day period described above (except that no such notice and cure period shall be required if Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder on the Closing Date); (ii) subject to and specifically contingent upon Buyer’s satisfaction of the conditions to such an action set forth in this Subsection 9.(b)., xxx Seller for specific performance of Seller’s obligations to convey the Property pursuant to this Contract; or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Sales Price. Notwithstanding any provision in this Contract to the contrary, it is specifically agreed that Buyer will not have the right to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract or to place a lis pendens on the Property or otherwise encumber the Property in any way unless (i) on the outside Closing Date, Buyer timely tenders performance under this Contract by delivering to the Title Company fully executed originals of all documents required to be executed by Buyer under the terms and provisions of this Contract, depositing with the Title Company cash or other Immediately Available

Funds in the amount of $6,680,000.00 plus a sum equal to all expenses that are required to be paid by Buyer under the terms and provisions of this Contract, and providing evidence that it has Immediately Available Funds sufficient to pay the balance of the Sales Price; (ii) despite such tender of performance by Buyer, Seller fails or refuses to close the transaction evidenced by this Contract; and (iii) Buyer institutes, within sixty (60) days after the outside Closing Date, an action in a court with jurisdiction in the venue specified under this Contract (the “Court”), seeking to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract. If Buyer satisfies the foregoing requirements, then $6,680,000.00 out of the sum delivered to the Title Company shall be paid by the Title Company into the registry of the Court and be retained by the Court until all disputes between the parties related to this Contract have been resolved, either by final non-appealable judgment or by final binding settlement agreement. Each party agrees to execute and deliver such joint instructions, joint motions and other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of the funds from the Title Company to the Court contemplated by this Subsection. BUYER HERBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS WHICH BUYER HAS OR MAY HAVE TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT AND/OR TO PLACE A LIS PENDENS ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS SUBSECTION.

(c) If Buyer elects to pursue specific performance and such remedy is not available due to Seller’s prior sale or conveyance of the Property or other willful and intentional act or omission of Seller, Buyer will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to recover the Xxxxxxx Money and liquidated damages from Seller in the amount of $1,000,000.00 plus Buyer’s Costs in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00, and any amounts payable under Section 11. For purposes of this Contract, “Buyer’s Costs” shall mean the actual expenses incurred by Buyer and paid (1) to Buyer’s attorneys (including in-house attorneys) in connection with the negotiation of this Contract or the proposed purchase of the Property; (2) to third party consultants in connection with the performance of examinations, inspections and/or investigations pursuant to Section 4.(a); and (3) to any potential lender or investor in connection with any proposed financing of or investment in the Property.

(d) Notwithstanding the limitations in Subsection (b) above or any other provision of this Contract, if, after termination of this Contract, Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Contract (collectively, “Seller’s Post Termination Obligations”), then Buyer will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy to (a) recover any actual damages for Seller’s failure to comply with Seller’s Post Termination Obligations not to exceed an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Sales Price; (b) enforce specific performance of Seller’s Post Termination Obligations; and (c) recover from Seller any amounts to which Buyer is entitled under Section 11 hereof.

(e) Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer against and hold Buyer harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent Buyer is entitled thereto under Section 11 hereof, (i) that may be suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of any breach of this Contract by Seller or if any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Contract was untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made, (ii) arising from or based on any failure by Seller to perform all obligations of Seller in accordance with the Leases, Service Contracts, Approvals or Permitted Exceptions before the Closing Date, or (iii) arising from any personal injury or property damage to the property of a third party occurring in, on or about the Property before the Closing Date. The indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in this Contract shall survive the Closing or termination of this Contract for a period of twelve (12) months. Any claim made by Buyer in connection with said indemnities must be made within eighteen (18) months after the Closing or termination or shall automatically be null, void and of no force or effect whatsoever, and Buyer’s remedies for any such claim shall be limited to recovery of damages not to exceed an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Sales Price; provided, however, that there shall be no such monetary limitation on Buyer’s damages in connection with any third party personal injury or property damage claims; and provided further however that Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification from Seller with respect to a breach by Seller of a representation or

warranty or of this Contract of which Buyer had actual knowledge prior to Closing, it being understood and agreed that Buyer’s remedies with respect to any such breach actually discovered by Buyer prior to Closing shall be as set forth in Section 9.(b) above.

(f) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent Seller is entitled thereto under Section 11 hereof, (i) that may be suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of any breach of this Contract by Buyer or if any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Contract was untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made, (ii) arising from or based on any failure by Buyer to perform all obligations of Buyer in accordance with the Leases, Deposits, Service Contracts, Approvals or Permitted Exceptions on or after the Closing Date, or (iii) arising from any personal injury or property damage to the property of a third party occurring in, on or about the Property on or after the Closing Date. The indemnification obligations of Buyer set forth in this Contract shall survive the termination of this Contract or Closing for a period of twelve (12) months. Any claim made by Seller in connection with said indemnities shall be made within eighteen (18) months after the Closing or termination or shall automatically be null, void and of no force or effect whatsoever, and Seller’s remedies for any such claim shall be limited to recovery of damages not to exceed an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Sales Price; provided, however, that there shall be no such monetary limitation on Seller’s damages in connection with any third party personal injury or property damage claims; and provided further however that Seller shall not be entitled to indemnification from Buyer with respect to a breach by Buyer of a representation or warranty or of this Contract of which Seller had actual knowledge prior to Closing, it being understood and agreed that Seller’s remedies with respect to any such breach actually discovered by Seller prior to Closing shall be as set forth in Section 9.(a) above.

THE PARTIES HEREBY BOTH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ALL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHICH ARE BASED ON OR WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) THIS CONTRACT; OR (B) ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT THAT IS EXECUTED OR IS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT; OR (C) ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY WHICH RELATES TO, CONCERNS OR ARISES OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT OR ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH OF THIS CONTRACT.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR IMPLICITLY, TO SUCH PARTY THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER. NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF EITHER PARTY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION OR MODIFY THIS WAIVER. EITHER PARTY MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT BOTH PARTIES HAVE WAIVED THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS CONTRACT.

11. ATTORNEYS’ FEES: Any signatory to this Contract who is the prevailing party in any legal proceeding against any other signatory brought under or with respect to this Contract or transaction will be additionally entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party.

12. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER: Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, which representations and warranties will be deemed made by Seller to Buyer as of the Effective Date and also as of the Closing Date, that:

(a) Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified and in good standing in the State in which the Land is located.

Seller has the right, power and authority to carry out Seller’s obligations hereunder and all requisite action necessary to authorize Seller to enter into this Contract and carry out Seller’s obligations hereunder have been, or on the Closing Date will have been, taken. This Contract is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms. There is no agreement to which Seller is a party or, to Seller’s current actual knowledge, that is binding on Seller which is in conflict with this Contract.

(b) To Seller’s current, actual knowledge, Seller has received no written notice of any (i) pending or threatened improvement liens, special assessments or condemnations against the Property by any governmental authority, or (ii) alleged violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, covenant, condition or restriction, or breach of any Approvals or the Permitted Exceptions.

(c) Seller has not been served with citation or summons in connection with or filed any action, suit, proceeding or claim presently pending in any court or before any federal, state, county or municipal department, commission, board, bureau or agency, or other governmental instrumentality or before any arbitration tribunal or panel affecting (i) the Property or any portion thereof, (ii) Seller’s title, use, operation or ownership of the Property, or (iii) Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Contract nor, to Seller’s current actual knowledge, is any such action, suit, proceeding or claim currently threatened. To Seller’s current actual knowledge, Seller has received no written notice from any insurance broker, agent or underwriter that any noninsurable condition exists in, on or about the Property or any part thereof. To Seller’s current, actual knowledge, the Property and the use and occupancy thereof are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable building, earthquake, zoning, land use, environmental, antipollution, health, fire, safety, access and accommodations for the physically handicapped, subdivision, energy and resource conservation and similar laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances and all covenants, conditions and restrictions binding on the Property, except as otherwise set forth in the Submission Matters.

To Seller’s current, actual knowledge, Seller has received no written notice or report indicating the presence of hazardous substances affecting the Property other than any such notice or report disclosed to Buyer as

part of the Submission Matters, including the asbestos screening report included in the Submission Matters. If Seller receives any written notice that any hazardous substances may have been released or that any violation of any Environmental Laws may have occurred at the Property, Seller shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to Buyer. Additionally, Seller agrees to promptly provide to Buyer all written communications received by Seller from any person or given by Seller to any person concerning any release or threatened release of any hazardous substances in, on or under the Property (or any nearby real property which could migrate to the Property) or any violation of any Environmental Laws at the Property.

(f) During the term of this Contract, Seller will (i) operate and maintain the Property as an apartment complex in the same manner and with the same care as is Seller’s current practice (including, without limitation, maintenance of substantially the same advertising and marketing programs for the Property in effect as of the date hereof), (ii) comply with the Approvals, Permitted Exceptions, and all covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances applicable to the Property, and (iii) perform when due all of Seller’s obligations under the Leases, Service Contracts, Approvals and Permitted Exceptions in accordance with the terms thereof. Seller will not enter into any Leases or modify existing Leases except in the ordinary course of operating the Property consistent with Seller’s current leasing practices as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, current rental rates and concessions. Without Buyer’s prior written consent, Seller will not enter into any additional Service Contracts that would either be binding on Buyer or the Property after Closing or which do not include a provision allowing termination upon 30 days’ notice, without fee or penalty. Seller shall not initiate or consent to, approve or otherwise take any action to change the zoning or any other governmental rules or regulations presently applicable to all or any part of the Property.

(g) To Seller’s current, actual knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice that (i) the Property, or any portion thereof, or (ii) Seller’s use, operation or ownership of the Property is in material violation of any laws, rules, ordinances or regulations of any applicable governmental authority or body, including, any state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation, except as otherwise provided in the Submission Matters.

(h) Seller agrees to advise Buyer promptly (and provide Buyer with copies of all written notices and/or non-privileged third party correspondence relating thereto) if Seller receives written notice regarding any matter described in Subsection (g) above after the Effective Date.

(i) To Seller’s current actual knowledge, Exhibit “C” attached hereto is a materially accurate and complete list of all tangible personal property owned by Seller and located at the Land relating to the ownership, management, operation, maintenance or repair of the Property and Seller has (and can convey at Closing) good title to the Personal Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests and adverse claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, other than liens, encumbrances and security interests that will be terminated at or prior to Closing.

(j) To Seller’s current actual knowledge, Exhibit B-1 attached hereto is an accurate and complete list of all presently effective Service Contracts relating to the Property.

(k) To Seller’s current, actual knowledge, all of the Leases are described in the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, and there are no persons leasing, using or occupying the Property or any part thereof except the tenants under the Leases (and as provided by the Service Contracts and Permitted Exceptions). All information provided to Buyer concerning the Leases, including without limitation set forth on the rent roll attached hereto or, as of the Closing Date, the rent roll to be provided under Section 7.(c)(9), is, to Seller’s current actual knowledge, accurate and complete in all material respects. Except as set forth on such rent roll, to the current, actual knowledge of Seller, the Leases are in full force and effect, have not been amended or modified; the full current rent is accruing thereunder; no monthly rent has been paid more than one (1) month in advance (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of the Leases

or as set forth in such rent roll) and no Deposit or prepaid rent has been paid except as set forth on such rent roll. To Seller’s current actual knowledge, no event has occurred or condition exists which, with or without notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach or a default by the landlord or by any tenant under the Leases except as set forth in such rent roll. To Seller’s current actual knowledge, Seller has received no written notice from any tenant under the Leases claiming any breach or default by Seller under any of the Leases. To the current actual knowledge of Seller, except as set forth on such rent roll, no concession, moving or relocation allowance or credit, or other payment or credit of any kind is presently owed, or will or could become due and payable, to any tenant under the Leases. Seller has (and can convey at Closing) good title to the Leases, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests and adverse claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, other than the Permitted Exceptions and liens, encumbrances and security interests that will be terminated at or prior to Closing.

(l) Seller is solvent, has not made a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, and has not admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, nor has Seller filed, nor does it contemplate the filing of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or any other proceeding for the relief of debts in general, nor has any such proceeding been instituted by or against Seller.

(m) All of Seller’s loans with lenders with liens affecting the Property are currently in good standing and not in default, and Seller shall cause all such lenders to reconvey or release (as applicable) such liens at Closing.

(n) Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s current actual knowledge, any previous owner of the Property has sold, transferred, conveyed, or entered into any agreement regarding water or water rights relating to the Property, except for usual and customary water utility service agreements and as otherwise expressly set forth in the Commitment.

(o) To Seller’s current actual knowledge, all of the Submission Matters provided to Buyer are, in all material respects, true and complete copies of such documents. Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to disclose to Buyer, in writing (which disclosure may be by delivery of the Submission Matters), all material information, knowledge and findings relating to the Property and its operations in Seller’s possession or control.

(p) Seller shall (i) promptly provide to Buyer copies of any Service Contracts entered into after the date hereof and any documents or materials received by Seller from and after the date hereof that would have been included in Submission Matters if received prior to such date and (ii) within two (2) business days after Seller’s receipt of request therefor, provide to Buyer an updated rent roll with all information concerning the Leases updated through the date that is one (1) business day before the date that the updated rent roll is delivered to Buyer.

(q) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall not sell, convey, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Property or any material part thereof or interest therein (the foregoing will not be deemed to prevent Seller from entering into Leases and other agreements in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Contract or using office supplies, cleaning supplies and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, and or from disposing of items of equipment and other Personal Property that are replaced by Seller in the ordinary course of business).

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all of Seller’s representations and warranties set out above or elsewhere in this Contract are given by Seller and accepted by Buyer subject to all matters disclosed in this Contract, by the Submission Matters, by Buyer’s Due Diligence Materials and/or the Permitted Exceptions. Seller’s representations and warranties will survive the Closing for twelve months

and any claim by Buyer related to any alleged misrepresentation or breach of a covenant must be asserted and the lawsuit filed within eighteen months after the Closing Date, all as provided in Section 9.(d) above.

As used herein, “current” means at the time a representation was made and “actual knowledge” means the conscious knowledge of Seller’s representative, Xxxx Xxxxx (“Seller’s Representative”), without the duty of investigation or inquiry. If, after Effective Date, Seller receives written notice or Seller’s Representative obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations set forth above are or have become materially inaccurate, then Seller will give written notice to Buyer describing the inaccuracy in reasonable detail and Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy (unless such change is due to a breach by Seller of this Contract, in which event Buyer shall have its rights and remedies under Section 9.(b)), may elect to terminate this Contract within five business days of receipt of such notice, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money (other than the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money) will be promptly returned to Buyer and, thereafter, neither party will have any further right or obligation hereunder except those rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of this Contract, or Buyer may waive the inaccuracy, accept such modified representation as Seller is then able to give consistent with Seller’s notice and proceed to Closing. The foregoing will control and conflicting or inconsistent provision of this Contract and, if necessary, Closing will be extended in order to allow Buyer the full five business day period to make its election. If Buyer fails to terminate this Contract within this five business day period, then Buyer will be deemed conclusively to have waived such inaccuracy and elected to proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any inaccuracy in a representation arises due to a default under a loan secured by a lien against the Property, Seller may elect to cure such default at or prior to Closing, in which case the inaccuracy will be deemed to have been cured and no remedy described above will be available to Buyer unless Seller fails to so cure on or prior to Closing.

13. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BUYER: Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller, which representations and warranties will be deemed made by Buyer to Seller as of the Effective Date and also as of the Closing Date, that:

The foregoing representations and warranties will survive the Closing for twelve months and any claim by Seller related to any alleged misrepresentation or breach of a covenant must be asserted and the lawsuit filed within eighteen months after the Closing Date; provided however, that in the event that a lawsuit has been filed by Buyer against Seller, each such period shall be extended by six (6) months solely for purposes of any counterclaim by Seller with respect thereto.

14. CONDEMNATION: If, prior to the Closing Date, condemnation proceedings are commenced against any material portion of the Property, then, at Buyer’s option exercisable by delivery of written notice to Seller within twenty days after Seller notifies Buyer of the condemnation proceedings, this Contract will terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money will be delivered to Buyer. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller has given the notice to Buyer required by this Section and the period of 20 days described in this Section has expired. If Buyer chooses not to terminate this Contract, or if Buyer does not exercise its right to terminate this Contract within this twenty-day period, the Closing will occur subject to the condemnation proceedings, Buyer will have the right to appear in the condemnation proceedings and, at Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer the entire condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such award) and the Sales Price will not be reduced. As used in this Section, the term “material” means (x) in excess of 5% of the total area of the Land, in excess of 10% of the value of the Land, or in excess of 1% of the value of the Property, (y) an area of the Land that is required to provide utilities or access to the Improvements or (z) an area of Land the absence of which would have a material adverse effect on the use or value of, access to, or parking at, the Property.

15. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY: Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any fire or other casualty affecting the Land, the Improvements or the Personal Property between the Effective Date and the Closing. If, prior to the Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which will cost more than $668,000.00 to repair based on Seller’s claims to the insurer (the “Threshold”), Buyer may, at its option,

elect to terminate this Contract by giving written notice to Seller within twenty days after the date of Seller’s notice to Buyer of the casualty, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money (other than the Non-refundable Xxxxxxx Money) will be delivered to Buyer and neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those which expressly survive termination. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller has given the notice to Buyer required by this Section and the period of twenty days described in this Section has expired. If the Threshold is not met, or if Buyer does not timely make an election to terminate this Contract, then the Closing will take place as provided herein without reduction of the Sales Price, and at the Closing Buyer will receive (i) a credit against the cash balance of the Sales Price payable at Closing to the extent of payments received by or on behalf of Seller prior to the Closing Date under any applicable insurance policy or policies in effect with respect to the Property, (ii) an assignment of Seller's rights to any payments which may be payable subsequent to the Closing Date under any applicable insurance policy or policies in effect with respect to the Property (or, if Seller’s insurer will not consent in writing to the assignment of such policy and/or payments, a credit for such amounts), (iii) an assignment of Seller's rights to payments with respect to rents due subsequent to the Closing Date under any rental insurance policy or policies with respect to the Property (or, if Seller’s insurer will not consent in writing to the assignment of such policy and/or payments, a credit for such amounts), and (iv) a credit against the cash balance of the Sales Price payable at the Closing in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the deductibles with respect to all such insurance policies. Seller hereby covenants to (1) keep in force through the Closing Date the same insurance with respect to the Property as in effect as of the Effective Date (copies of which have been provided to Buyer with the Submission Matters) and (2) cooperate to adjust, compromise and settle with the insurance company(s) with respect to the insurance policies.

16. MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder will be deemed received when (i) personally delivered, (ii) three days after being sent by United States mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested, and properly addressed, (iii) one day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, charges prepaid, and properly addressed, or (iv) received by email (with receipt confirmed by a return email and also delivered by one of the other means herein provided), at the email address set forth on the signature page of this Contract.
