The Allocated Initial Deposit Amount for each Property is set forth in the Seller Information Schedule. Further, Sellers and Purchaseragree that the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (the "Independent Contract Consideration") has been paid by Purchaser to Seller concurrently with the deposit into escrow of the Initial Deposit, as consideration for Sellers' execution and delivery of this Contract and for Purchaser's rights of review, inspection and termination set forth herein. The Independent Contract Consideration is independent of any other consideration or payment provided for in this Contract and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, is non-refundable in all events whatsoever.
2.2.2 On or before the day that the Feasibility Period expires, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent an additional deposit (the “Additional Deposit”) of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00) by wire transfer of Good Funds. TheAllocated Additional Deposit Amount for each Property is set forth in the Seller Information Schedule.

3.4 Purchaser Indemnification.
3.4.1 Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by a Seller (in such Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel reasonably approved by such Seller) such Seller, together with such Seller’s affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives, agents, Property Manager, Regional Property Manager, and AIMCO (collectively, including such Seller, “Seller’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all damages, mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens, liabilities, penalties, interest, losses, demands, actions, causes of action, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including the cost of in-house counsel and appeals) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or related to Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ entry onto such Seller’s Property, and any Inspections or other acts by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Consultants with respect to such Property during the Feasibility Period or otherwise; provided, however, such indemnity shall not cover any Loss to the extent arising from Seller’s Indemnified Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct or any preexisting latent physical or environmental conditions discovered by Purchaser in connection with its investigations as long as Purchaser immediately ceases its investigations upon discovering such latent condition and takes reasonable steps not to exacerbate such condition.
3.4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on any Property without Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion. Further, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of its Property), investigations and other matters that in such Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable judgment could result in any injury to its Property or breach of any contract, or expose the applicable Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect such Property or such Seller’s interest therein; provided, however, each Seller hereby expressly consents to Purchaser's performance of a Phase I environmental study of the applicable Property (to be conducted by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller's Representative) and an ACM (asbestos containing material) study (to be conducted by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller's Representative) in connection therewith, but only to the extent customarily performed in connection with a Phase I environmental study; and, provided, further, however, if the Phase I for any Property concludes that a Phase II is recommended, but the applicable Seller refuses permission for such Phase II (in such Seller's sole and absolute discretion), Purchaser may terminate this Contract pursuant toSection 3.2 prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ activities pursuant to this Section. No consent by Sellers’ Representative to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the applicable Seller or assumption of liability or risk by such Seller.

In the alternative, at a Seller’s option and within the foregoing time period, such Seller may deliver some or all of its Materials to Purchaser, or make the same available to Purchaser on a secure web site (Purchaser agrees that any item to be delivered by a Seller under this Contract shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Purchaser on such secured web site). To the extent that Purchaser determines that any of the Materials have not been made available or delivered to Purchaser pursuant to thisSection 3.5.1, Purchaser shall notify Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the same to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after such notification is received by such Seller; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the Feasibility Period be extended and Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Contract pursuant toSection 3.2.
3.5.2 In providing the Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller’s Representations, each Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed. All Materials are provided for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to all applicable Sellers or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Sellers’ Representative as a condition to return of the Deposit to Purchaser if this Contract is terminated for any reason. Recognizing that the Materials delivered or made available by Sellers pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in a Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily and reasonably available to such Seller, Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely uponthe completeness or accuracy of the Materials and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own Inspections and Consultants with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Properties.
3.5.3 In addition to the items set forth onSchedule 4, no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, each Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided underSection 3.5.1) the most recent rent roll and security deposit ledger for the applicable Property, which rent roll and security deposit ledger shall list the monthly base rent, Lease expiration date and unapplied security deposit for such Property and is that which each Seller uses in the ordinary course of operating its Property (collectively, the “Rent Rolls”). Sellers make no representations or warranties regarding the Rent Rolls other than the express representation set forth inSection 6.1.10.
3.5.4 In addition to the items set forth onSchedule 4, no later than 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, and to the extent same have not been heretofore provided by a Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or otherwise make available to Purchaser as provided underSection 3.5.1) a list of all current Property Contracts for the applicable Property (the “Property Contracts Lists”). Sellers make no representations or warranties regarding the Property Contracts Lists other than the express representations set forth inSection 6.1.11.
3.6 Property Contracts.
On or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser may deliver written notice to each Seller (a “Property Contracts Notice”) specifying any Property Contracts of such Seller which Purchaser desires to terminate at the Closing (the “Terminated Contracts”); provided that (a) the effective date of such termination on or after Closing shall be subject to the express terms of such Terminated Contracts, (b) if any such Property Contract cannot by its terms be terminated at Closing, it shall be assumed by Purchaser and not be a Terminated Contract, and (c) to the extent that any such Terminated Contract requires payment of a penalty, premium, or damages, including liquidated damages, for cancellation, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees, penalties, or damages, including liquidated damages. If Purchaser fails to deliver a Property Contracts Notice to a Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, there shall be no Terminated Contracts with respect to such Seller (or its Property) and Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts of such Seller at the Closing. If Purchaser delivers the Property Contracts Notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, then simultaneously therewith, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a vendor termination notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F) for each Terminated Contract informing the vendor(s) of the termination of such Terminated Contract as of the Closing Date (subject to any delay in the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to the express terms of each applicable Terminated Contract (the “Vendor Terminations”). Seller shall sign the Vendor Terminations prepared by Purchaser, and deliver them to all applicable vendors. To the extent that any Property Contract to be assigned to Purchaser requires vendor consent, then, prior to the Closing, Purchaser may attempt to obtain from each applicable vendor a consent (each a “Required Assignment Consent”) to such assignment. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by the applicable Seller (in such Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such Seller) suchSeller’s Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to Purchaser’s failure to obtain any Required Assignment Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Closing, each Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, terminate any property management contract affecting such Seller’s Property.

The provisions of thisSection 4.6.5 shall survive the termination of this Contract and the Closing.
4.6.6 There are currently no reserves, impounds and other accounts held by a Lender in connection with each Loan. Purchaser shall be responsible for funding any new or additional reserves, impounds or accounts required by a Lender to be maintained by Purchaser in connection with each Loan after the Loan Assumption and Release (the “Required Loan Fund Amounts”).
4.6.7 Purchaser agrees promptly to deliver to each Lender all documents and information required by the Assumed Loan Documents, and such other information or documentation as such Lender reasonably may request, including, without limitation, financial statements, income tax returns and other financial information for Purchaser and any required guarantor.

Each Seller shall prepare a proration schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) of the adjustments described in thisSection 5.4 prior to Closing. Such adjustments shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to such Seller) or by such Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser for such Property), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Purchaser at the Closing for such Property.
5.4.2 Operating Expenses. With respect to each Property, all of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes), prepaid sums and sums owed under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser, and other expenses incurred in operating such Property that such Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of such Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Each Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing.
5.4.3 Utilities. With respect to each Property, the final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date for such Property, in which case each Seller shall pay all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate. Each Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company, and such Seller shall notify each utility company serving its Property to terminate its account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date for such Property.
5.4.4 Real Estate Taxes. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for a Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and taxrate figures (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of such Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date for such Property, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount). The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing.
5.4.5 Property Contracts. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, operating expenses shall be prorated underSection 5.4.2.

In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in a Seller's favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay to such Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser, after first applying collected rents to the payment of all current obligations owing to Purchaser under the applicable Lease, and only then to Uncollected Rents due to the applicable Seller. Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Properties for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions (not including lawsuits or formal proceedings) to collect Uncollected Rents. After the Closing, each Seller shall continue to have the right for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents owed to such Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant and the delivery of the Leases Assignment shall not constitute a waiver by any Seller of such right. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with each Seller in connection with all efforts by such Seller to collect such Uncollected Rents and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the delivery to each Seller, within seven (7) days after a written request, of any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent), theexecution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Uncollected Rents by such Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with a Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant Lease with an existing Tenant, file any formal actions or proceedings, or evict any existing Tenant from a Property.
5.4.6.2 At Closing, with respect to each Property, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the applicable Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) Tenant Deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage, pet or other refundable deposits paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the Tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state or commonwealth law (the “Tenant Security Deposit Balance”). Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by a Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by the applicable Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the applicable Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by such Seller pursuant to this Contract (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by Purchaser. The Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall not include any non-refundable deposits or fees paid by Tenants to any Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise.

As set forth inSection 4.6.6, any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the applicable Loan shall be assigned to Purchaser, and at Closing, Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Seller an amount equal to the balance of such reserves, impounds and accounts so assigned.

5.4.9 HAP Payments. ThisSection 5.4.9 is applicable to only the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property.

Except for Seller’s Representations, each Property is expressly purchased and sold “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” The Purchase Price for each Property and the terms and conditions set forth herein are the result of arm’s-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of this kind, and said price, terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser shall have the benefit of, but is not relying upon, any information provided by Sellers or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Sellers or Broker, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of any Property, the physical or environmental condition of any Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of any Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to any Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the Deed conveying a Property and Seller’s Representations with respect to such Property). Purchaser agrees that Sellers shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions affecting the Properties. Purchaser, its successors and assigns, and anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases each of Seller’s Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire against any of Seller’s Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions or other conditions affecting the Properties. Purchaser represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, it has and shall have reviewed and conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation, environmental studies and analyses concerning the presence of lead, asbestos, water intrusion and/or fungal growth and any resulting damage, PCBs and radon in and about the Properties), reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Properties. If Sellers provide or have provided any documents, summaries, opinions or work product of consultants, surveyors, architects, engineers, title companies, governmental authorities or any other person or entity with respect to the Properties, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Sellers agree that Sellers have done so or shall do so only for the convenience of the parties, Purchaser shall not rely thereon and the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents, summaries, opinions or work product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against any of Seller’s Indemnified Parties. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Sellers with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Properties with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Properties, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Properties, or any part thereof, or the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the foregoing, occupancy at Closing. Prior to Closing, each Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all of its Propertyoccupants, guests or tenants. Purchaser agrees that the departure or removal, prior to Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser, nor shall it affect the obligations of Purchaser under this Contract in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the applicable Deed with or without such tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the applicable Purchase Price under this Contract. Purchaser hereby releases Sellers from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the foregoing matters.
6.3 Survival of Seller’s Representations.
Sellers and Purchaser agree that Seller’s Representations shall survive Closing of such Seller’s Property for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”). No Seller shall have liability after the Survival Period with respect to any of its Seller’s Representations contained herein except to the extent that Purchaser has requested arbitration against such Seller during the Survival Period for breach of any of such Seller’s Representations. Each Seller shall be liable only for the breach of its own Seller’s Representations. Further, the liability for each Seller for breach of its Seller’s Representations shall be limited to, and capped at, Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) for such Seller’s Property for which a breach of Seller’s Representations occurred, on a Property-by-Property basis if a Seller is selling more than one Property. Such cap on liability shall apply for any individual breach or in the aggregate for all breaches of such Seller’s Representations with respect to such Property. Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring any claim for a breach of Seller’s Representations unless the claim for damages (either in the aggregate or as to any individual claim) by Purchaser for a Property exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). In the event that a Seller breaches any representation contained inSection 6.1 and Purchaser had knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date, and elected to close regardless, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and such Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith.
6.4 Definition of Seller’s Knowledge.
Any representations and warranties made "to the knowledge of such Seller" shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. For purposes of this Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of the Designated Representative of such Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of such Seller, or any affiliate of such Seller, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Designated Representative any individual personal liability.
6.5 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.
For the purpose of inducing Sellers to enter into this Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Properties in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, which shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period:
6.5.1 Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.
6.5.2 Purchaser, acting through any of its or their duly empowered and authorized officers or members, has all necessary entity power and authority toown and use its properties and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and has full power and authority to enter into this Contract, to execute and deliver the documents and instruments required of Purchaser herein, and to perform its obligations hereunder; and no consent of any of Purchaser’s partners, directors, officers or members are required to so empower or authorize Purchaser. The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Contract. This Contract is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.
6.5.3 No pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation exists which if determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser’s obligations or covenants to Sellers.
6.5.4 Other than Seller’s Representations, Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Sellers or any representative of Sellers (including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the acquisition of the Properties.
6.5.5 The Broker and its affiliates do not, and will not at the Closing, have any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser (or in an assignee of Purchaser, which pursuant toSection 13.3, acquires any Property at the Closing), nor has Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser granted (as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date) the Broker or any of its affiliates any right or option to acquire any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser.
6.5.6 Purchaser is not a Prohibited Person.
6.5.7 To Purchaser’s knowledge, none of its investors, affiliates or brokers or other agents (if any), acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with this Contract is a Prohibited Person.

6.5.10 Purchaser represents and warrants that, prior to the Closing of the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property, Purchaser shall either (i) have taken all steps and provided all information required by HUD in order to register as a participantunder HUD's Active Partner Performance System or any similar electronic filing system presently maintained by HUD (the “APPS”) or (ii) in accordance with the Preservation Approval Process Improvement Act of 2007 (PL 110-35), which required HUD to suspend mandatory processing of Previous Participation Certificates (HUD form 2530) under APPS, have made a paper filing of such form. Purchaser agrees to make all filings required to be made with HUD, either electronically or on paper in accordance with the previous participation process, including any advance notification required in connection with an event that will trigger 2530 approval. If at any time HUD shall reinstate mandatory processing of previous participation certificates under APPS, or any similar electronic filing system, Purchaser shall make any required filings using such system.
6.5.11 Neither Purchaser nor any affiliate of Purchaser (as defined in 24 CFR § 200.215) has been debarred, suspended, or voluntarily excluded from participation in any federal grant or procurement program or any program of a state government or agency, or has been the subject of a limited denial of participation issued pursuant to 24 CFR Part 24, Subpart G, or has been denied approval for participation in a HUD project pursuant to 24 CFR Part 200, subpart H, at any time during the ten (10) years preceding the date of this Contract.

ARTICLE VII
OPERATION OF THE PROPERTIES
7.1 Leases and Property Contracts.
During the period of time from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, in the ordinary course of business each Seller may, with respect to its Property, enter into new Property Contracts, new Leases, renew existing Leases or modify, terminate or accept the surrender or forfeiture of any of the Leases, modify any Property Contracts, or institute and prosecute any available remedies for default under any Lease or Property Contract without first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, each Seller agrees that any such new Property Contracts or any new or renewed Leases shall be on terms consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business and shall not have a term in excess of one (1) year without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, at any time between the Effective Date and the Closing of the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property, to the extent that Purchaser is either not using commercially reasonable efforts to diligently obtain a renewal of the HAP Contract pursuant toSection 4.11 or to the extent Seller is otherwise required by HUD in order to preserve the HAP Contract, the Seller of the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property must use commercially reasonable efforts to renew the HAP Contract forthe Chimneys of Cradlerock Property or to enter into a new HAP Contract for the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property.
7.2 General Operation of Property.
Except as specifically set forth in this Article VII, each Seller shall operate its Property after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business, and except as necessary in such Seller’s sole discretion to address (a) any life or safety issue at its Property, (b) the Westway Village Repair Work or (c) any other matter which in such Seller’s reasonable discretion materially adversely affects the use, operation or value of such Property, such Seller will not make any material alterations to its Property or remove any material Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.3 Liens and Title Defects.
Each Seller covenants that, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien, encumbrance or other material defect to title to attach to its Property (other than Leases and Property Contracts as provided inSection 7.1) unless Purchaser approves such lien, encumbrance or other title matter, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien, encumbrance or other title matter, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder. If a Seller defaults in its obligations under thisSection 7.3, Purchaser may exercise any of its remedies underSection 10.2.
7.4 Tax Appeals.
Purchaser acknowledges that certain of the Sellers may have filed (or may file) an appeal (the "Appeal") with respect to real estate ad valorem or other similar property taxes applicable to the Property (the "Property Taxes"). The following provisions shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.
7.4.1 If such Appeal relates to any Tax Year prior to the Tax Year in which the Closing occurs, such Seller shall be entitled, in such Seller's sole discretion, to continue to pursue such Appeal after the Closing Date, and, in the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes payable with respect to any such prior Tax Year, the applicable Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of any rebate, refund or reduction (collectively, a "Refund") resulting from the Appeal. Seller shall not be obligated to continue to pursue any Appeal with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, any Appeal that relates to a Tax Year during or after the Tax Year in which Closing occurs. If Purchaser receives any refund of Property Taxes for a prior Tax Year, Purchaser promptly shall remit the same to the applicable Seller.
7.4.2 If such Appeal relates to the Tax Year in which Closing occurs, then, prior to the Closing, the applicable Seller shall notify Purchaser whether such Seller desires to continue to process the Appeal from and after the Closing Date. If such Seller fails to notify Purchaser of its election to continue the Appeal, such Seller will be deemed to have elected not to continue the Appeal from and after the Closing Date and the provisions ofSection 7.4.2.2 shall apply.
7.4.2.1 If Seller elects to continue the Appeal, then, from and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will continue, at such Seller’s solecost and expense, to reasonably process the Appeal to conclusion with the applicable taxing authority (including any further appeals which such Seller deems reasonable to pursue). In the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Year in which Closing occurs, then Purchaser and such Seller shall share any Refund on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of days in the Tax Year of Closing that each held title to the Property) after first reimbursing such Seller for its actual, reasonable and documented third-party costs (collectively, the "Third-Party Costs") incurred in connection with the Appeal. If Third-Party Costs equal or exceed the amount of the Award, then such Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of the Award.
7.4.2.2 If a Seller does not elect to continue the Appeal, then, from and after the Closing Date, it shall be at the sole discretion of Purchaser whether to continue, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, to reasonably process the Appeal to conclusion with the applicable taxing authority (including any further appeals which Purchaser deems reasonable to pursue). In the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Year in which Closing occurs, then Purchaser and the applicable Seller shall share any Refund on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of days in the Tax Year of Closing that each held title to the Property) after first reimbursing each of Purchaser and the applicable Seller for their respective Third-Party Costs incurred in connection with the Appeal. If Third-Party Costs equal or exceed the amount of the Award, then the Award shall be applied to such Third-Party Costs on a pro rata basis, with each of Purchaser and Seller receiving a portion of the Award equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the respective party's Third-Party Costs, and the denominator of which is the total of both parties' Third-Party Costs, and (ii) the amount of the Award.
7.5 Westway Village Repair Work.
The terms of thisSection 7.5 apply only to the Westway Village Property. Purchaser acknowledges that certain units (the “Damaged Units”) at the Westway Village Property have been damaged, and Seller has commenced making repairs to the Damaged Units (the “Westway VillageRepair Work”). The Seller of the Westway Village Property, at its sole cost and expense, shall diligently proceed to complete the Westway Village Repair Work prior to the Closing of the Westway Village Property and, if and to the extent a new certificate of occupancy is required by applicable law for the lawful use and occupancy of each Damaged Unit, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such certificate of occupancy for each of the Damaged Units. If the Westway Village Repair Work is not completed prior to the Closing, then the Closing shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Contract and, at the Closing, (i) Seller shall assign, and Purchaser shall assume, all construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such Westway Village Repair Work and (ii) Seller shall give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount necessary to complete the Westway Village Repair Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent a new certificate of occupancy is required by applicable law for the lawful use and occupancy of each Damaged Unit and Seller has not obtained such new certificate of occupancy by Closing, thenSeller shall assign Seller’s insurance claim relating to the loss of rent attributable to such Damaged Unit as a result of not having obtained a certificate of occupancy.

ARTICLE X
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
10.1 Purchaser Default.
If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Initial Deposit or the Additional Deposit (or any other deposit or payment required of Purchaser hereunder), (b) deliver to Sellers the deliveries specified underSection 5.3 on the date required thereunder, or (c) deliver the Purchase Price for each Property at the time required bySection 2.2.4 and close on the purchase of each of the Properties on the applicable Closing Date for each Property, then, immediately and without the right to receive notice or to cure pursuant toSection 2.3.3, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Sellers, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Properties. If Purchaser defaults in any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract, and such default continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Sellers’ Representative, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Sellers, and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property. The Deposit is liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser’s indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder and except as set forth inSection 13.16 below, Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Properties or breach of a representation or warranty. Sellers expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser. SELLERS AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLERS’ DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLERS’ DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTIES. SELLERS AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THISSECTION 10.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLERS, AND SHALL BE SELLERS’ EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND SELLERS RIGHT TO COLLECT ATTORNEY FEES AND EXPENSES UNDERSECTION 13.16 BELOW.
10.2 Seller Default.
If a Seller defaults (i) in its obligations hereunder to deliver to Escrow Agent the deliveries specified underSection 5.2 with respect to such Seller on the date required thereunder, or (ii) to close on the sale of such Seller’s Property on the Closing Date, then, provided that Purchaser is not in default under this Contract, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser may exercise its rights set forth in thisSection 10.2 without any further opportunity of such Seller to receive notice or to cure such default. If a Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its other covenants or obligations under this Contract (other than such Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of such Seller’s Property on the Closing Date), and such default continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice fromPurchaser, then, provided that Purchaser is not in default under this Contract, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either (a) subject to the conditions below, seek specific performance of the defaulting Seller’s obligation to deliver its Deed pursuant to this Contract (but not damages), or (b) give a Termination Notice to Sellers’ Representative of Purchaser’s decision to terminate this Contract for the Property for which there was such a default and receive a return of the Allocated Deposit Amount for such Property from Escrow Agent. If Purchaser, pursuant to any provision of thisSection 10.2, elects to terminate this Contract for the Property for which there was a default, then Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Allocated Deposit Amount for such terminated Property), its direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with the Property for which this Contract has been terminated, which damages shall not exceed $75,000 per terminated Property. Purchaser may seek specific performance of defaulting Seller’s obligation to deliver the Deed pursuant to this Contract only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, Purchaser first shall (i) not otherwise be in default under this Contract and (ii) file suit therefor with the court on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to each Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by Sellers pursuant to the foregoing sentence. SELLERS AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THISSECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLERS, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY ANY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLERS FOR ANY BREACH BY A SELLER, OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST ANY PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AND IS DILIGENTLY PURSUING AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.
ARTICLE XI

In the event that a Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, and the cost for demolition, site cleaning, restoration, replacement, or other repairs (collectively, the “Repairs”) is more than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price for such Property, then the applicable Seller shall have no obligation to make such Repairs, and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the “Damage Notice”). Within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Notice, Purchaser may elect at its option to give a Termination Notice for the damaged Property to Sellers’ Representative. If Sellers’ Representative receives a Termination Notice pursuant to thisSection11.1, then the provisions ofSection 13.33 shall apply to the Property with respect to which this Contract has been so terminated.
11.2 Minor Damage.
In the event that a Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing, and the cost of Repairs is equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price for such Property, then this transaction shall be closed in accordance withSection 11.3, notwithstanding such casualty. In such event, applicable Seller may at its election endeavor to make such Repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on the Property, if such Repairs can be reasonably effected before the Closing.

The terms of thisSection 13.31 apply only to the Woods of Inverness Property.

The district has taxing authority separate from any other taxing authority and may, subject to voter approval, issue an unlimited amount of bonds and levy an unlimited rate of tax in payment of such bonds. As of this date, the rate of taxes levied by the district on real property located in the district is $0.45 on each $100 of assessed valuation. The total amount of bonds, excluding refunding bonds and any bonds or any portion of bonds issued that are payable solely from revenues received or expected to be received under a contract with a governmental entity, approved by the voters and which have been or may, at this date, be issued is $9,660,000, and the aggregate initial principal amounts of all bonds issued for one or more of the specified facilities of the district and payable in whole or in part from property taxes is $3,300,000.

The district may exercise the authority without holding an election on the matter. As of this date, the most recent amount of the standby fee is $0. An unpaid standby fee is a personal obligation of the person that owned the property at the time of imposition and is secured by a lien on the property.

13.31.3 The district is located in whole or in part within the corporate boundaries of the city of Houston.

13.33 Effect of Partial Termination of Contract.
If this Contract is terminated in part by a Seller or Purchaser with respect to any one or more (but not all) of the Properties (each a “Terminated Property”) pursuant to any one or more of the provisions ofSection 4.4,Section 4.6.9,Section 4.7,Section 4.8.5,Section 4.11.10,Section 8.1,Section 8.2,Section 10.2,Section 11.1 and/orSection 12.1 hereof, and provided that Purchaser is not otherwise in material default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, then this Contract shall automatically be deemed modified to (i) remove each Terminated Property as a “Property” hereunder and (ii) remove each Seller of each Terminated Property as a “Seller” hereunder, such that such Seller shall no longer constitute a party to this Contract, and, accordingly, such Seller and Purchaser shall no longer have any further rights or obligations hereunder to each other, except for the Survival Provisions. In such event, but subject to the terms ofSection 2.3.3 hereof, Escrow Agent shall release to Purchaser the Allocated Deposit Amount for each Terminated Property, and the Deposit shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of the Allocated Deposit Amount for each Terminated Property. Except as otherwise provided below, if Purchaser or any Seller terminates this Contract in part and the aggregate Purchase Price for all such Terminated Properties exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Purchase Price for all of the Properties (the “Threshold Amount”), then either Sellers or Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract in its entirety by written notice to the other party within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the applicable notice terminating this Contract for such Terminated Property. In such event, but subject to the terms ofSection 2.3.3 hereof, Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit toPurchaser (less the Allocated Deposit Amount applicable to the Property for which a Closing has already occurred, if any) and this Contract shall be null and void, except for the Survival Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Contract is terminated with respect to the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property pursuant toSections 4.11.11 then the Purchase Price for the Chimneys of Cradlerock Property shall not apply towards the determination of the Threshold Amount.
ARTICLE XIV
LEAD–BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE
14.1 Disclosure.
Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge delivery of the Lead Based Paint Disclosure attached as Exhibit H hereto.
14.2 Consent Agreement.
With respect to the Arbours of Hermitage Property and the Parktown Townhouse Property, testinghas been performed at such applicable property with respect to presence of lead-based paint. The remainder of the Properties were built after 1978 and thus do not contain lead based paint. The “LBP Consultant” identified on the Seller Information Schedule prepared the Report with respect to the Property identified therein. A copy of each Report with respect to the Property will be provided to Purchaser with the Materials. Each Report certifies the respective Property as lead based paint free. By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Reports, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Statement attached hereto asExhibit H, and acknowledges receipt of the Consent Agreement. Because the applicable Property has been certified as lead based paint free, the applicable Seller is not required under the Consent Agreement to remediate or abate any lead-based paint condition at its Property prior to the Closing. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, Purchaser and the applicable Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions contained herein related thereto and (2) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement.
