Shadow Ridge AGREEMENT OF SALE THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 5th day of July, 1996, by and between SHERMAN OAKS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("Purchaser") and SHADOWRIDGE INVESTORS, an Illinois Joint Venture ("Seller"). WITNESSETH: 1. PURCHASE AND SALE. Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to sell at the price of Twelve Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($12,750,000.00) ("Purchase Price"), that certain property ("Property") in Las Vegas, Nevada, more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto, which Property is known as Shadow Ridge Apartments. Included in the Purchase Price is all of the personal property set forth on Exhibit B, which shall be transferred to Purchaser at Closing (as hereinafter defined) by a Bill of Sale. 2. PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows: a. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the sum of $150,000.00 ("Earnest Money") to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent (as that term is defined in the Escrow Agreement), by and in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement ("Escrow Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit C; b. On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), $12,750,000.00 (inclusive of all Earnest Money) adjusted in accordance with the prorations by federally wired "immediately available" funds delivered to the Title Insurer (as hereinafter defined) no later than 12:00 Noon Central Time on the Closing Date. If the funds are not received by 12:00 Noon, then, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to any additional mortgage per diem interest costs incurred by the Seller. 3. TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY. a. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a title commitment dated March 20, 1996 ("Title Commitment") for an owner's standard coverage title insurance policy ("Title Policy") issued by First American Title Insurance Company ("Title Insurer"). The owner's Title Policy issued at Closing will be in the amount of the Purchase Price subject only to real estate taxes not yet due and payable, the general printed exceptions contained in the policy and the special title exceptions set forth in Schedule B-Section 2-Part I, Numbers 7, 8 and 9 and Schedule B-Section 2-Part II, Numbers 3 through 13, 18 through 21, 23 and 24 of the Title Commitment. All of the above are herein referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions". The Title Commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good title as therein shown as to all matters insured by the policy, subject only to the exceptions therein stated. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy or a "marked up" commitment in conformity with the Title Commitment. Seller shall pay the costs of the Title Policy; however, Purchaser shall pay the costs of "extended coverage" or any special endorsements which Purchaser requires. b. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a survey ("Survey") of the Property prepared by SEA Inc. dated July, 1983. Prior to the Closing, Seller will have the Survey updated and certified to the Purchaser and the Title Insurer. Seller shall pay for the cost of the updated Survey (approximately $9,800.00), but Purchaser shall pay for the cost of the additional requirements requested by Purchaser (approximately $2,000.00). If the updated Survey discloses matters which are not reflected on the original Survey and which would prevent the Title Insurer from deleting the survey exception from the Title Policy ("Survey Defects"), then upon notice delivered to Seller by Purchaser within seven (7) days after Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, Seller shall either cause the Survey Defects to be removed from the updated Survey or cause the Title Insurer to insure against loss or damage resulting from the Survey Defects ("Title Indemnity"). If Seller is unwilling to (i) have the Survey Defects removed from the updated Survey or (ii) cause the Title Insurer to issue a Title Indemnity to Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of notice from Purchaser of the Survey Defects, then Purchaser shall have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement. Purchaser shall notify Seller of its election within three (3) days after receipt of notice from Seller that the Survey Defects will not be removed or that the Title Insurer will not issue the Title Indemnity. If Purchaser fails to make the election within the aforesaid three (3) days, then it shall be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has elected to take title to the Property subject to the Survey Defects. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to Purchaser. 4. CONDITION OF TITLE/CONVEYANCE. Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property by Grant, Bargain and Sale Deed ("Deed") in recordable form subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. If Seller is unable to convey title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions because of the existence of an additional title exception ("Unpermitted Exception"), then, if Seller cannot obtain a title indemnity insuring over such Unpermitted Exception, then Purchaser can elect to take title to the Property subject to the Unpermitted Exception or terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to the Purchaser. 5. PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS. Seller shall pay the costs of the documentary stamps (if any) to be paid with reference to the Deed and all other stamps, intangible, documentary, recording, sales tax and surtax imposed by law with reference to any other documents delivered in connection with this Agreement. Purchaser shall pay all costs related to any mortgage that Purchaser causes to be recorded against the Property. 6. DAMAGE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. a. If the Property suffers damage as a result of any casualty prior to the Closing Date and can be repaired or restored in the case of real property for $100,000 or less, or in the case of Personal Property, for $10,000 or less, then Seller shall commence the repair or restoration in an expeditious manner, in which event the Closing Date will be extended until such date as may reasonably be required to complete the repair or restoration. Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds. If the cost of repair or restoration exceeds that amount, then Seller can elect to either: (a) repair and restore same, in which event the Closing Date will be extended until such date as may reasonably be required to complete the repair or restoration; or (b) terminate this Agreement upon notice to Purchaser served within twenty (20) business days of such casualty. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, then Purchaser will have the option to accept the Property in its damaged condition together with an assignment from Seller of all insurance proceeds and receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the deductible, provided Purchaser notifies Seller by notice served within twenty (20) days after receipt of Seller's notice of election to terminate. b. If condemnation proceedings ("Proceedings") are instituted against the Property and the parties reasonably believe that such Proceedings will result in an award in excess of $100,000.00, then Purchaser can elect to either take the Property subject to the Proceedings and an assignment of Seller's interest in the Proceedings or terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, it shall be by notice to the Seller within five (5) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of the Proceedings. c. If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph, then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to the Purchaser. 7. AS-IS CONDITION. a. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the Property based solely upon its inspection and investigations of the Property and that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" based upon the condition of the Property as of the date of this Agreement, subject to reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty or condemnation from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Seller nor its consultants, brokers or agents have made any other representations or warranties of any kind upon which Purchaser is relying as to any matters concerning the Property, including, but not limited to, the condition of the land or any improvements, the existence or nonexistence of asbestos, lead in water, lead in paint, radon, underground or above ground storage tanks, petroleum, toxic waste or any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances (as such terms are defined below), the tenants of the Property or the leases affecting the Property, economic projections or market studies concerning the Property, any development rights, taxes, bonds, covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property, water or water rights, topography, drainage, soil, subsoil of the Property, the utilities serving the Property or any zoning, environmental or building laws, rules or regulations affecting the Property.

Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all liability in connection with any claims which Purchaser may have against Seller, and Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims, for damage, loss, compensation, contribution, cost recovery or otherwise, against Seller, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, relating directly or indirectly to the existence of asbestos or Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances on, or environmental conditions of, the Property, or arising under the Environmental Laws (as such term is hereinafter defined), or relating in any way to the quality of the indoor or outdoor environment at the Property.
