Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Century Properties Fund XIX, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Registrant”), owns Tamarind Bay Apartments(“Tamarind Bay”), a 200-unit apartment complex located in St. Petersburg, Florida. On June 14, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Registrant entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a third party, Augustus Partners, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), to sell Tamarind Bay to the Purchaser for a total sales price of $12,750,000.
The following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit.
PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price is $12,750,000, subject to certain prorations and adjustments at the closing. The Purchaser delivered an initial deposit (the “Initial Deposit”) of approximately $128,000 to First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent”), which is non-refundable subject to certain conditions.
FEASIBILITY PERIOD. The feasibility period ends on July 16, 2012. On or before expiration of the feasibility period, the Purchaser is required to deliver to the Escrow Agent an additional deposit of approximately $128,000. If the Purchaser fails to notify the Registrant in writing of its intent to terminate the contract prior to the end of the feasibility period, the Purchaser’s right to terminate the contract will be permanently waived and the Purchase Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
CLOSING. The expected closing date of the transaction is August 15, 2012. The Registrant has the option to extend the closing date to August 31, 2012 by delivering written notice to the Purchaser. The closing is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan commitment within 45 days of the Effective Date. The Purchaser has the option to extend the period to obtain a loan commitment for an additional 15 days by delivering written notice to the Registrant and an additional deposit of $50,000 to the Escrow Agent. The closing is also subject to customary closing conditions and deliveries.
COSTS AND FEES. The Purchaser agreed to pay all sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, any premiums or fees required to be paid by the Purchaser with respect to the title policy and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent. The Registrant agreed to pay the base premium for the title policy, the cost of recording any instruments required to discharge any liens or encumbrances against the property, any deed document stamp taxes payable with respect to the sale of the property and one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Purchaser and the Registrant each made limited representations and warranties to the other.
RISK OF LOSS. The risk of loss or damage to Tamarind Bay by reason of any insured or uninsured casualty during the period through and including the closing date equal to or less than $750,000 will be borne by the Registrant. The Registrant agreed to maintain, in full force and effect until the closing date, all existing insurance coverage on Tamarind Bay. In the event that damages exceed $750,000, the Registrant shall have no obligation to make the repairs and shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the damages, at which time the Purchaser may elect to terminate the contract by delivering written notice to the Registrant.
ASSIGNMENT. With the exception of an assignment to an affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchase Agreement is not assignable by the Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of the Registrant.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If the Purchaser defaults on its obligations to deliver when required any required deposits, the purchase price or any other specified deliveries, the Purchaser will forfeit its deposits to the Registrant, and neither party will be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale. The Registrant expressly waived the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for any such defaults by the Purchaser.
If the Registrant, prior to the closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations, the Purchaser has the option of (i) terminating the Purchase Agreement, receiving a return of its deposits, and recovering, as its sole recoverable damages its documented direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs up to $50,000 or, (ii) subject to certain conditions, seeking specific performance of the Registrant’s obligation to deliver the deed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

*Schedules and supplemental materials to the exhibit have been omitted but will be provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request.
The agreements included as exhibits to this Form 8-K contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and:
· should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;
· have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement, which disclosures are not necessarily reflected in the agreement;
· may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to an investor; and
· were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement and are subject to more recent developments.
Accordingly, these representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time. The Registrant acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 8-K not misleading. Additional information about the Registrant may be found elsewhere in this Form 8-K and the Registrant’s other public filings, which are available without charge through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
