ARTICLE VIII

BROKERAGE

8.1 Indemnity.  Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that it has dealt only with XXX Xxxxxxxx, CBRE, and True North Capital Partners, LLC (together, “Brokers”) in connection with this Contract.  Seller and Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that, other than the Brokers, it has not dealt with or utilized the services of any other real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and, if requested in the sole and absolute discretion of the indemnitee, defend (with counsel approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against all Losses relating to brokerage commissions and finder’s fees arising from or attributable to the acts or omissions of the indemnifying party.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Buyer Default.  If the Seller’s conditions to close set forth in this Contract are not met as of the Closing Date, and Seller has not waived such conditions, and Seller is otherwise prepared to perform, the Seller shall have the right to receive the Deposit, 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 Buyer’s indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for Buyer’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property or breach of a representation or warranty.  SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY BUYER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  SELLER AND BUYER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 9.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY BUYER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS

CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO BUYER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

9.2 Seller Default.  If Buyer’s conditions to close set forth in this Contract are not met as of the Closing Date, and Buyer has not waived such conditions, and Buyer is otherwise prepared to perform hereunder, then at Buyer’s option, either (a) this Contract shall terminate and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer plus Buyer’s actual costs not to exceed $50,000.00, or (b) Buyer may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation pursuant to this Contract, but only if Buyer files suit therefor within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE X

RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

10.1 Major Damage.  In the event that the 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 estimated by the Seller to be more than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), then Seller shall have no obligation to make such Repairs, and shall notify Buyer in writing of such damage or destruction (the “Damage Notice”).  Within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of the Damage Notice, Buyer may elect at its option to terminate this Contract by delivering written notice to Seller in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.  In the event Buyer fails to terminate this Contract within the foregoing ten (10) Business Days period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with Section 10.3 below.

10.3 Closing.  In the event Buyer fails to terminate this Contract following a casualty as set forth in Section 10.1, or in the event of a casualty as set forth in Section 10.2, then this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of the Contract for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding any such casualty, in which case Buyer shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption of Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim related to such casualty, and thereafter Buyer shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim, less any amounts which may already have been spent by Seller for Repairs (plus a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection therewith).

10.4 Repairs.  To the extent that Seller elects to commence any Repairs prior to Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such Repairs completed or installed prior to Closing, with Buyer being responsible for completion of such Repairs after Closing.  To the extent that any Repairs have been commenced

15

prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts shall include, and Buyer shall assume at Closing, all construction and other contracts entered into by Seller in connection with such Repairs.

ARTICLE XI

EMINENT DOMAIN

11.1 Eminent Domain.  In the event that, at the time of Closing, any material part of the Property, such that the Property can no longer be used for multi-family apartment buildings or access to the Property is cut off, is (or previously has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (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), Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event, and if Buyer so terminates this Contract, Buyer shall recover the Deposit hereunder.  If Buyer fails to terminate this Contract within such ten (10) day period, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract for the full Purchase Price and Buyer shall receive the full benefit of any condemnation award.
