Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the Tenants in connection with Purchaser's or its Consultants' activities pursuant to this Section. No consent by the Seller to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption of liability or risk by Seller.

In no event shall Seller be required to disclose to Purchaser information regarding the partners of Seller, distributions to partners or other partnership information not relating to the condition or operation of the Property or appraisals or other valuation information (collectively, the "Proprietary Information"). If the sale of the Property is not closed by the date fixed therefor or if the Purchase Contract is terminated for any reason, Purchaser shall, within five (5) calendar days, return all such Materials to Seller. ARTICLE 6 TITLE 6.1 On or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause Title Insurer to issue and deliver to Purchaser and Seller (a) a current preliminary title report for a standard coverage owner's policy of title insurance for the Land and Improvements and the fixtures located thereon, including any endorsements thereto (the "Title Commitment") and (b) copies of all documents referenced as exceptions therein (collectively, the "Underlying Documents"). On or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, obtain a current as-built survey of the Land certified to Purchaser, Seller and Title Insurer (the "Survey"). The Title Commitment, the Underlying Documents and the Survey shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Title Documents." 6.2 Purchaser shall have until the last day of the Feasibility Period to notify Seller in writing of any objection which Purchaser may have to any matters reported or shown in the Title Documents or any updates thereof or the Survey ("Purchaser' Objection Letter") (provided, however, that if any such updates are received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall have an additional five (5) Business Days following Purchaser's receipt of such update and copies of all documents referenced therein to notify Seller of objections to items shown on any such update which were not disclosed on the previously delivered Title Documents). In addition to the Leases, matters reported in or shown by the Title Documents (or any updates thereof) and not timely objected to by Purchaser as provided above shall be deemed to be "Permitted Exceptions." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Purchaser fails to obtain the Survey on or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, any and all exceptions identified on the Title Commitment or any update thereof relating to the Survey shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall have no obligation to cure or correct any matter objected to by Purchaser; however, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following Seller's receipt of Purchaser's Objection Letter, Seller may elect, by delivering written Notice of such election to Purchaser and Title Insurer ("Seller's Response") whether to cause Title Insurer to remove or insure over any matters objected to in Purchaser's Objection Letter. If Seller fails to deliver Seller's Response within the time frame set forth above, it shall be deemed to be an election by Seller not to cause Title Insurer to so remove or insure over such objections. If Seller elects not to cause Title Insurer to so remove or insure, then Purchaser must elect, by delivering written Notice of such election to Seller and Title Insurer on or before the earlier to occur of (a) the fifth (5th) Business Day following Purchaser's receipt of Seller's Response or (b) if no Seller's Response is received by Purchaser, the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which Seller shall have been deemed to have responded, as provided above, to: (i) terminate this Purchase Contract (in which case Title Insurer shall return the Deposit (to the extent paid) to Purchaser, the parties shall equally share the cancellation charges of Title Insurer, if any, and neither party shall thereafter have any rights or obligations to the other hereunder, other than the Surviving Obligations); or (ii) proceed to a timely Closing whereupon such objected to exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. In the event that Purchaser fails to make such election on a timely basis, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to a timely Closing in accordance with the preceding clause (ii). 6.3 The existence of other mortgages, liens, or encumbrances shall not be objections to title, provided that properly executed instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy and remove the same of record are delivered to the Purchaser at Closing or, in the alternative, with respect to any mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust liens, that payoff letters from the holder of the mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust liens shall have been delivered to and accepted by the Title Insurer (sufficient to remove the same from the policy issued at Closing), together in either case, with recording and/or filing fees. 6.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any deed of trust and/or mortgages (including any and all mortgages which secure that certain loan on the Property in the original principal amount of $1,400,000 made by Standard Mortgage, against the Property (collectively, "Liens") shall be deemed objectionable exceptions, whether Purchaser gives written notice of such or not, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured by Seller at or before Closing, the same being a material obligation of Seller under this Purchase Contract. 6.5 Unpaid liens for taxes, charges, and assessments shall not be objections to title, but the amount thereof plus interest and penalties thereon shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid for the applicable Property hereunder and allowed to Purchaser, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes and charges contained in ARTICLE 7 herein. 6.6 Unpaid franchise or business corporation taxes of any corporations in the chain of title shall not be an objection to title, provided that the Title Insurer agrees to insure against collection out of the Property or otherwise against Purchaser or its affiliates, and provided further that the Title Insurer agrees to omit such taxes as exceptions to coverage with respect to any lender's mortgagee insurance policy. 6.7 Prior to Closing, Purchaser may obtain an endorsement to the Title Commitment which, among other things, will bring the effective date of the Title Commitment to as current a date as is then possible. If such endorsement shall add any exceptions to the Title Commitment which Purchaser finds objectionable, then Purchaser shall provide Seller with Notice as provided in Section 6.2 and the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof shall apply. Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property between the date of this Purchase Contract and the Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts in the ordinary course of business); any such monetary lien or encumbrance so attaching by voluntary act of Seller shall be discharged by the Seller at or prior to Closing on the Closing Date or any postponed Closing Date. 6.8 Purchaser shall notify Seller in Purchaser's Objection letter of any maintenance, service or similar contract which relate to the ownership, maintenance construction or repair and/or operation of the Property and are cancelable on 90 days' or shorter notice without penalty which Purchaser does not desire to assume ("Rejected Contracts"). Promptly after it is determined that (a) Purchaser has no title objections, or (b) Purchaser has elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (ii) in Section 6.2, Seller shall give notice of cancellation to each service provider under the Rejected Contracts. To the extent that as of Closing any of the Rejected Contracts have not yet terminated (due to less advance notice of cancellation than required thereunder) Purchaser shall assume the obligations of such Rejected Contract after Closing until the cancellation becomes effective. 6.9 Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, may cause to be prepared a survey for the Property ("Survey"). An original counterpart of the Survey shall be promptly delivered by Purchaser to Seller (and its attorney). Purchaser agrees to make payment in full of all costs of obtaining any Survey on or before Closing or termination of this Purchase Contract. Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, may cause to be prepared an environmental report for the Property ("Environmental Report"). In the event the perimeter legal description of the Property contained in the Survey differs immaterially from that contained in the deed or deeds by which Seller took title to the Property, the latter description shall be used in the Deed delivered to Purchaser at Closing, and the Survey legal shall be used in a quitclaim deed to the Property which also shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing. ARTICLE 7 CLOSING 7.1 Dates, Places Of Closing, Prorations, Delinquent Rent and Closing Costs. 7.1.1 The Closing shall occur no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the expiration of the Financing Contingency Period through an escrow with the Title Insurer, whereby the Seller, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means. 7.1.2 The Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option of Seller to a date not later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date specified above to satisfy a condition to be satisfied by Seller, or such later date as is mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, provided Seller shall use best efforts to satisfy such condition. 7.1.3 All normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, Rents (as defined below), operating expenses, real and personal property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of same attributable to the period through and including the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period after the Closing Date, if assumed by Purchaser) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the period after the Closing Date. All deposits required under Tenant leases not applied prior to the Closing Date, if any, shall either be transferred by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing or Purchaser shall be given a credit therefor against the Purchase Price, as Purchaser may elect subject to compliance with applicable law. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation to pay any tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions under Leases executed after the Effective Date, together with any payments due parties under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser, provided (i) all of the foregoing have been prorated, and (ii) with respect to all residential Leases, Purchaser shall only be responsible for any tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for Leases executed within three (3) months of the Closing Date. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the 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 tax rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using figures from the preceding year. The proration shall be adjusted as provided in Section 7.1.4 hereof. Seller shall pay any certified, confirmed and ratified special assessment liens that exist on the Property as of the Closing Date. Any special assessment liens on the Property that are pending as of the Closing Date shall be assumed and paid by Purchaser. If the improvement giving rise to the special assessment lien has been substantially completed as of the Closing Date, then any pending lien or special assessment on the Property shall, for purposes of the application of this paragraph, be considered certified, confirmed and ratified. For purposes of this Section 7.1.3 and Sections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 the terms "Rent" and "Rents" shall include any and all rents. The provisions of this Section 7.1.3 shall apply during the Proration Period (as defined below) and shall survive Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any assessments imposed by any governmental authorities on the Property after the Effective Date, (a) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser as to such assessment, and (b) in the event such assessment exceeds the lesser of $100,000 or ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof to elect to proceed to Closing without adjustment of the Purchase Price or terminate the Purchase Contract (unless Seller elects to pay such assessment, which Seller has no obligation to do) in which event the Deposit, (to the extent paid) shall be refunded to Purchaser and each party shall have no further obligations under this Purchase Contract except for the Surviving Obligations. 7.1.4 If any of the items subject to proration hereunder cannot be prorated at the Closing because the information necessary to compute such proration is unavailable, or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date and the proper party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period (the "Proration Period") from the Closing Date until one (1) year after the Closing Date. Neither party hereto shall have the right to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a Closing proration unless within the Proration Period one of the parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given Notice thereof to the other party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a party to obtain any previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item subject to proration hereunder and to give Notice thereof as provided above within the Proration Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a correction of an error or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date. 7.1.5 If on the Closing Date any Tenant is in arrears in any Rent payment under any Tenant lease (the "Delinquent Rent"), any Rent received by Purchaser and Seller from such Tenant after the Closing shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such Tenant during the following periods in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the period of time after the Closing Date, and (ii) second, to the period of time before the Closing Date. If Delinquent Rent or any portion thereof received by Purchaser after the Closing are due and payable to the Seller by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum, less a proportionate share of any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses expended in connection with the collection thereof, shall be promptly paid to the Seller. Any monies received by Seller after Closing shall be forwarded to Purchaser for disbursement in accordance with the order of payment provided herein above. After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Delinquent Rent owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant (provided, that Seller may not evict a Tenant and Seller shall not commence any other legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant which continues as a Tenant at the Property after Closing without the prior consent of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the delivery of the General Assignment as described in Section 7.2.1.3 shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller at no cost or liability to Purchaser in connection with all efforts by Seller to collect such Delinquent Rent 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 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), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Delinquent Rent by Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property. The provisions of this Section 7.1.5 shall apply during the Proration Period and shall survive Closing. 7.1.6 Seller shall pay the cost of all transfer taxes (e.g., sales, use and excise stamp taxes) and Purchaser shall pay the cost of all recording costs with respect to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall share equally in the costs of the escrow fees of the Title Insurer, but not any other of Title Insurer's fees and charges. All closing costs and fees other than those allocated in this Purchase Contract shall be paid by Purchaser and/or Seller in accordance with the custom of the city and state in which the Land is located. The provisions of this Section 7.1.6 shall survive the Closing. 7.2 Items To Be Delivered Prior To Or At Closing. 7.2.1 Seller. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to the Title Insurer, each of the following items, as applicable: 7.2.1.1 The Deed in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.1 to Purchaser. The acceptance of the Deed at Closing, shall be deemed to be full performance of, and discharge of, every agreement and obligation on Seller's part to be performed under this Purchase Contract, except for those that this Purchase Contract specifically provides shall survive Closing. 7.2.1.2 A Bill of Sale without recourse or warranty in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.2 covering all Property Contracts, Leases, Permits (other than Excluded Permits) and Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property required to be transferred to Purchaser with respect to such Property. Purchaser shall countersign the same so as to effect an assumption by Purchaser, including, without limitation, Seller's obligations thereunder. 7.2.1.3 A General Assignment (to the extent assignable and in force and effect) without recourse or warranty in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.3 of all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Miscellaneous Property Assets. Purchaser shall countersign the same so as to effect an assumption by Purchaser, including, without limitation, of Seller's obligations thereunder. 7.2.1.4 A closing statement executed by Seller. 7.2.1.5 A title affidavit or at Seller's option an indemnity, as applicable, in the customary form reasonably acceptable to Seller to enable Title Insurer to delete the standard exceptions to the title insurance policy to be issued pursuant to the Title Commitment (other than matters constituting any Permitted Exceptions and matters which are to be completed or performed post-Closing). 7.2.1.6 A certification of Seller's non-foreign status pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 7.2.1.7 Except for the items expressly listed herein to be delivered at Closing, delivery of any other required items shall be deemed made by Seller to Purchaser, if Seller leaves such documents at the Property in their customary place of storage or in the custody of Purchaser's representatives. 7.2.1.8 An Affidavit of Seller's Gain executed by Seller pursuant to the withholding requirements of Section 48-7-128 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.8. 7.2.1.9 To the extent in Seller's possession or control, original copies of the Leases and Property Contracts, lease files, keys to the property, Seller's books and records (other than Proprietary Information) regarding the Property, and original copies of the tenant estoppels, letters executed by Seller and, upon the request of Purchaser, its management agent, addressed to all Tenants notifying the Tenants of the sale and transfer of the Property to Purchaser. 7.2.1.10 Proof that Seller is duly and validly organized and presently existing in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and is qualified to do business and is in good standing in the state in which the Land is located (to the extent required by applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Purchase Contract) and that the individuals executing the documents on behalf of Seller described in this Section are duly authorized. 7.2.1.11 Evidence of notice of cancellation of the Rejected Contracts as required in Section 6.8. 7.2.1.12 Proof that the Management Contract has been terminated and is no further force or effect. 7.2.1.13 An updated rent roll of the Property certified by the Property manager, as agent for the Seller, to be true and accurate in all material respects. 7.2.1.14 Such other documents as are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions herein contemplated in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Contract. 7.2.2 Purchaser. At Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company (for disbursement to Seller upon the Closing) the following items with respect to the Property being conveyed at such Closing: 7.2.2.1 The full Purchase Price as required by ARTICLE 3 hereof plus or minus the adjustments or prorations required by this Purchase Contract. If at Closing there are any liens or encumbrances on the Property that Seller is obligated or elects to pay and discharge, Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price for the Property(s) to satisfy the same, provided that Seller shall have delivered to Title Insurer, on such Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record (or, as to any mortgages, deeds to secure debt or deeds of trust, appropriate payoff letters, acceptable to the Title Insurer), together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments. Purchaser, if request is made within a reasonable time prior to Closing, agrees to provide at Closing separate certified or cashier's checks as requested, aggregating not more than the amount of the balance of the portion of Purchase Price, to facilitate the satisfaction of any such liens or encumbrances. The existence of any such liens or encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. 7.2.2.2 A closing statement executed by Purchaser. 7.2.2.3 A countersigned counterpart of the Bill of Sale in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.2. 7.2.2.4 A countersigned counterpart of the General Assignment in the form attached as Exhibit 7.2.1.3. ARTICLE 8 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER 8.1 Representations, and Warranties of Seller. 8.1.1 For the purpose of inducing Purchaser to enter into this Purchase Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date: 8.1.1.1 Seller is lawfully and duly organized, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, Seller shall at the Closing have the power and authority to sell and convey the Property and to execute the documents to be executed by Seller and prior to the Closing will have taken as applicable, all corporate, partnership, limited liability company or equivalent entity actions required for the execution and delivery of this Purchase Contract, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract. 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 Seller is a party or by which Seller is otherwise bound. Seller has not made any other purchase contract for the sale of, or given any other person the right to purchase, all or any part of any of the Property; 8.1.1.2 Seller holds title to the Property, including all real property contained therein required to be sold to Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes untrue, Purchaser's remedies shall be limited to the rights set forth in Section 6.2 hereof and Seller shall have no other liability as a result thereof, either before or after Closing). 8.1.1.3 There are no adverse or other parties in possession of the Property, except for occupants, guests and tenants under the Leases (provided, however, that if this representation is or becomes untrue, Purchaser's rights shall be limited to the remedies set forth in Section 6.2 hereof). 8.1.1.4 Seller has all necessary right and authority to convey and assign to Purchaser all contract rights and warranties required to be conveyed and assigned to Purchaser hereunder. 8.1.1.5 Either (i) Purchaser has no duty to collect withholding taxes for Seller pursuant to the Foreign Investors Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, and Section 48-7-128 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, or (ii) if such duty to withhold taxes exists, such withholding shall be performed by the Title Insurer. 8.1.1.6 To Seller's knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings, litigation or governmental investigations or condemnation actions either pending or threatened against the Property, as applicable, except as set forth in Exhibit 8.1.1.6 attached hereto. 8.1.1.7 Seller has no knowledge of any claims for labor performed, materials furnished or services rendered in connection with constructing, improving or repairing any of the Property, as applicable, caused by Seller and which remain unpaid beyond the date for which payment was due and in respect of which liens may or could be filed against any of the Property, as applicable, except for repairs, materials or services furnished in the ordinary course of business (for which Seller shall make the necessary arrangements with the Title Insurer such that these matters shall not be title exceptions in the Title Commitment as of Closing). 8.1.1.8 To the best of Seller's knowledge, the rent roll previously delivered to Purchaser is true, complete and correct in all material respects and contains all of the Leases and tenancies of the Improvements as of the Effective Date, which leases have not been modified or amended except as indicated on the rent roll (such rent roll to be updated and certified as of Closing so as to be true, complete and correct in all material respects). 8.1.1.9 To the best of Seller's knowledge, Seller has delivered to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of all Leases (including all modifications thereof) and all other documents or instruments which create possessory rights in all or any portion of the Improvements. 8.1.1.10 To the best of Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received any notice of any violation, or alleged violation, of any laws, regulations or any other requirements of any governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Property, to include, without limitation, notice of the violation, or alleged violation, of any environmental protection laws or regulations. 8.1.1.11 To the best of Seller's knowledge, all commissions due on Leases or renewals of Leases have been paid in full as of the Effective Date and all tenant buildout and other obligations due Tenants under the Leases have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied. 8.1.2 Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth above in Subsection 8.1.1, the Property is expressly purchased and sold "AS IS," "WHERE IS," and "WITH ALL FAULTS." The Purchase Price 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, and is not relying upon any information provided by Seller or Broker or statements, representations or warranties, express or implied, made by or enforceable directly against Seller or Broker, including, without limitation, any relating to the value of the Property, the physical or environmental condition of the Property, any state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order or permit; or the suitability, compliance or lack of compliance of the Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter of or relating to the Property (other than any covenants of title contained in the deeds conveying the Property and the representations set forth above). 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, reports, investigations and inspections as it deems appropriate in connection with the Property. If Seller provides or has 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 Property, including, without limitation, the offering prepared by Broker, Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller has done so or shall do so only for the convenience of both 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 Seller, Seller's partners or affiliates or any of their respective partners, officers, directors, participants, employees, contractors, attorneys, consultants, representatives, agents, successors, assigns or predecessors-in-interest. Purchaser shall rely only upon any title insurance obtained by Purchaser with respect to title to the Property. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no representation has been made and no responsibility is assumed by Seller with respect to current and future applicable zoning or building code requirements or the compliance of the Property with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, the financial earning capacity or expense history of the Property, the continuation of contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Property, 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, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or tenants. Except as otherwise set forth herein, 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 Purchase Contract in any manner whatsoever; and Purchaser shall close title and accept delivery of the Deed with or without such Tenants in possession and without any allowance or reduction in the Purchase Price under this Purchase Contract. Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all claims and liabilities relating to the foregoing matters, except as provided in Section 8.1.3 below. 8.1.3 In the event that Seller breaches any representation contained in Section 8.1 and Purchaser had actual knowledge of such breach on or before the end of the Financing Contingency Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith. The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days. 8.1.4 Representations and warranties above made to the knowledge of Seller shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry. For purposes of this Purchase Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean and refer to only actual knowledge of the Designated Representative (as hereinafter defined) of the Seller and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller, or any affiliate of the 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. As used herein, the term Designated Representative shall refer to the Regional Property Manager handing this Property, Robert Bridges (the "Regional Property Manager"), and the one-site property manager, Janice Gavern (the "Property Manager") of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"). 8.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser 8.2.1 For the purpose of inducing Seller to enter into this Purchase Contract and to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property in accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date: 8.2.2 With respect to Purchaser and its business, Purchaser represents and warrants, in particular, that: 8.2.2.1 Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Georgia.

ARTICLE 9 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING 9.1 Purchaser's obligation to close under this Purchase Contract, shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment in all material respects of each and all of the following conditions precedent: 9.1.1 All of the documents required to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall have been delivered and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. 9.1.2 Each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein shall be true in all material respects as of the Closing Date. 9.1.3 Seller shall have complied with, fulfilled and performed, in each case in all material respects, each of the covenants, terms and conditions to be complied with, fulfilled or performed by Seller hereunder. 9.1.4 Title to the Property is in the condition required by this Purchase Contract. 9.1.5 The Property shall be in substantially the same condition as existed on the last day of the Feasibility Period, ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted. 9.1.6 There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser. 9.1.7 After the expiration of the Feasibility Period and the Financing Contingency Period, provided Purchaser has not terminated this Purchase Contract, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions on Purchaser's obligation to Close except as expressly set forth above (subject to Sections 13.1 and 15.1 hereof). 9.2 Without limiting any of the rights of Seller elsewhere provided for in this Purchase Contract, Seller's obligation to close with respect to conveyance of the Property under this Purchase Contract shall be subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following conditions precedent: 9.2.1 Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in this Purchase Contract shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made, and shall be true and correct in all material respects on the Closing Date and as of the Effective Date as though such representations and warranties were made at and as of such date and time. 9.2.2 Purchaser shall have fully performed and complied with all covenants, conditions, and other obligations in this Purchase Contract to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to Closing including, without limitation, payment in full of the Purchase Price. 9.2.3 There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either Purchaser or Seller, any litigation or threatened litigation which, if determined adversely, would restrain the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Contract or declare illegal, invalid or nonbinding any of the covenants or obligations of the Purchaser. 9.2.4 Seller shall have received all consents and approval to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (a) of Seller's partners, (b) that are required by law, or (c) that are required by the partnership agreement, as amended, governing Seller.

ARTICLE 10 BROKERAGE 10.1 Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt only with Mr. Sean Cunningham of CB Richard Ellis ("Broker") in connection with this Purchase Contract. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that other than Broker, it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this Purchase Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify the other party from and against all claims for brokerage commissions and finder's fees arising from or attributable to the acts of omissions of the indemnifying party. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing or termination of this Purchase Contract. 10.2 Seller agrees to pay Broker a commission according to the terms of a separate agreement.

ARTICLE 11 POSSESSION 11.1 Possession of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions and the Leases shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing. ARTICLE 12 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 12.1 In the event Purchaser materially defaults under this Purchase Contract and such defaults are not cured by Closing Date and consummation of the Closing does not occur by reason of such material default by Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Seller may suffer. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, except for the Purchaser's Surviving Obligations, the reasonable estimate of the total net detriment that Seller would suffer in the event that Purchaser materially defaults hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date is and shall be, and Seller's sole remedy (whether at law or in equity) shall be, the right to receive from the Title Insurer and retain the full amount of the Deposit, (or so much thereof as has been received by Title Insurer). The payment and performance of the above as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of applicable law and is intended to settle all issues and questions about the amount of damages suffered by Seller in the applicable event, except only for damages under Purchaser's Surviving Obligations, irrespective of the time when the inquiry about such damages may take place. Upon any such failure by Purchaser hereunder, this Purchase Contract shall be terminated, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for the Purchaser's obligations to Seller under Purchaser's Surviving Obligations, and the right of Seller to collect such liquidated damages to the extent not theretofore paid by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an event of default other than the failure of Purchaser to close in a timely basis in accordance with this Purchase Contract, Seller will provide Purchaser with Notice specifying the default and Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to cure such default. INITIALS FOR SELLER INITIALS FOR PURCHASER 12.2 If the Closing does not occur as a result of Seller's material default hereunder, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to elect to terminate this Purchase Contract and receive reimbursement of the Deposit, (or so much thereof as has been received by Title Insurer), or seek specific performance of this Purchase Contract. ARTICLE 13 RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY 13.1 The risk of loss of damage to the Property by reason of any insured or uninsured casualty during the period through and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. Seller covenants and agrees to maintain all of its existing insurance coverage upon the Property in full force and effect until the Closing Date, without material modification thereto. In the event of any "material damage," as hereinafter defined, to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by Notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser is notified of such material damage or destruction: (i) unilaterally terminate this Purchase Contract except the Surviving Obligations shall survive and the Deposit, (or so much thereof as has been received by Title Insurer) shall be immediately returned to Purchaser; or (ii) proceed under this Purchase Contract with no reduction in the Purchase Price, receive any insurance proceeds due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date), together with the amount of any deductible with respect to such insurance proceeds, and assume responsibility for repair of the Property. If the Property is not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Purchase Contract, but all insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date), together with the amount of any deductible with respect to such insurance proceeds, shall be paid or assigned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume responsibility for such repair. For purposes of this paragraph, "material damage" means damages reasonably exceeding the greater of $100,000.00 or ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to repair, as determined by an independent insurance claims adjuster doing business in the county in which the Land is located, which claims adjuster shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser. ARTICLE 14 LEAD -BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE Every purchaser of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built prior to 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in young children may produce permanent neurological damage, including learning disabilities, reduced intelligence quotient, behavioral problems, and impaired memory. Lead poisoning also poses a particular risk to pregnant women. The seller of any interest in residential real property is required to provide the purchaser with any information on lead-based paid hazards from risk assessments or inspections in the seller's possession, if any, and notify the buyer of any known lead-based paint hazards. A risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended prior to purchase. ARTICLE 15 EMINENT DOMAIN 15.1 In the event that at the time of Closing all or any part of the Property is (or has previously been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by authority of any governmental agency (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser's option, to terminate this Purchase Contract (except the Surviving Obligations shall survive) by giving written Notice within fifteen (15) days of Purchaser's receipt from Seller of the occurrence of such event and recover the Deposit hereunder, or to settle in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Contract for the full Purchase Price and receive the full benefit of any condemnation award. It is expressly agreed between the parties hereto that this paragraph shall in no way apply to customary dedications for public purposes that may be necessary for the development of the Property. ARTICLE 16 MISCELLANEOUS 16.1 Exhibits And Schedules All Exhibits and Riders annexed hereto are a part of this Purchase Contract for all purposes. In the event any Riders are annexed hereto and there are any conflicts between the terms of this Purchase Contract and the Riders, the terms of the Riders shall supercede and control. 16.2 Assignability Subject to Section 16.18, this Purchase Contract is not assignable by any party hereto without first obtaining the prior written approval of the non-assigning party except Purchaser may assign this Purchase Contract without Seller's consent to any entity affiliated with Purchaser. Any assignment of this Purchase Contract shall not relieve Purchaser of any liability hereunder. 16.3 Binding Effect This Purchase Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. 16.4 Captions The captions, headings, and arrangements used in this Purchase Contract are for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify, or modify the terms and provisions hereof. 16.5 Number and Gender of Words Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural where appropriate, and words of any gender shall include each other gender where appropriate. 16.6 Notices All notices, demands, requests and other communications required pursuant to the provisions of this Purchase Contract ("Notice") shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served for all purposes (i) if sent by Federal Express or any other nationally recognized overnight carrier for next business day delivery, on the first business day following deposit of such Notice with such carrier, or (ii) if personally delivered, on the actual date of delivery or (iii) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested postage prepaid, on the fifth (5th) business day following the date of mailing addressed as follows: If to Seller: If to Purchaser: SHELTER PROPERTIES I HALLMARK GROUP REAL ESTATE c/o Apartment Investment and SERVICES CORP.
