THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 2, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by and between PHEASANT RUN APTS, LS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, LLC, a Florida limited partnership (the “Seller”) and XX XXXXXXXX ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”).

WITNESSETH:
PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, the following:
(a) that certain tract or parcel of land located in Xxx’x Summit, Xxxxxxx County, Missouri, and more particularly described on Schedule 1.2(a), attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (the property described in this clause (a) being herein referred to as the “Land”), together with any rights, easements and appurtenances pertaining to the Land;
(b) those rights, easements and appurtenances pertaining to the Land, including (i) all right, title and interest of Seller (if any) in and to adjacent streets, alleys or rights-of-way, (ii) strips, gaps and gores, if any, in connection with the Land, (iii) any and all oil, gas and minerals lying under, in, on or about or constituting a part of the Land, regardless of whether the minerals are considered part of the surface estate or part of the mineral estate, and (iv) all right, title and interest of Seller with respect any easements or covenants that benefit or burden the Land (the property described in this clause (b) herein referred to collectively as the “Related Rights”)
(c) the buildings, structures, fixtures and other improvements (if any) on the Land (the property described in this clause (c) being herein referred to as the “Improvements”, and the Land and the Improvements being hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Real Property”);
(d) all tangible personal property upon the Land or within the Improvements, including specifically, without limitation, appliances, equipment, furniture, carpeting, draperies and curtains, tools and supplies, and other items of tangible personal property owned by Seller and used in connection with the ownership, use, maintenance or
operation of the Land and the Improvements, and including those items of tangible personal property identified on Schedule 1.2(c), attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, but excluding (i) personal property owned by tenants under the Leases, (ii) any equipment installed by, or in connection with, any telecommunication or utility provider and which is owned by any party other than Seller, and (iii) any items leased to Seller (the property described in this clause (d), other than the excluded items, being herein referred to collectively as the “Tangible Personal Property”).
(e) all of the right, title and interest as landlord or lessor in, to and under all agreements listed and described on Schedule 1.2(d) (the “Rent Roll”) attached hereto and made a part hereof, pursuant to which any portion of the Land or Improvements is used or occupied by anyone other than Seller (the property described in this clause (e) being herein referred to collectively as the “Leases”);
(f) all right, title and interest as the owner in, to and under (i) the contracts listed and described on Schedule 1.2(e) (the “Service Contracts”) attached hereto and made a part hereof, (ii) all existing warranties and guaranties issued to or inuring to the benefit of Seller in connection with the Improvements or the Tangible Personal Property, and (iii) all governmental permits, licenses and approvals, if any, belonging to or inuring to the benefit of Seller and pertaining to the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property (the property described in this clause (f) being sometimes herein referred to collectively as the “Intangible Property”.
1.2 Property Defined. The Land, the Related Rights, the Improvements, the Tangible Personal Property, the Leases and the Intangible Property are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Property.”
1.3 Permitted Exceptions. At Closing, Seller shall xxxxx to Purchaser good, marketable and indefeasible title to the Property subject only to the matters which are, or are deemed to be, Permitted Exceptions pursuant to ARTICLE 2 hereof (herein referred to collectively as the “Permitted Exceptions”).
1.4 Purchase Price. Seller shall sell, and Purchaser shall purchase, the Property for a total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of Eight Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand No/100 Dollars ($8,250,000.00).
1.5 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, as adjusted by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, shall be paid at Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to a bank account of Escrow Agent designated by Escrow Agent in writing to Purchaser prior to Closing and shall be subsequently payable in full at Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to Escrow Agent prior to Closing.
1.6 Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Within three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent (450 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000,
-0-
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Phone: 000-000-0000) the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (the “Initial Deposit”). If Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement, then at the conclusion of the Inspection Period (described in Article 3), Purchaser shall deposit an additional Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) with Escrow Agent (the “Additional Deposit”). The Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit shall be collectively referred to as the “Deposit”. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit pursuant to Purchaser’s directions and in accordance with the terms and conditions of ARTICLE 9. All interest accruing and other income earned on such sum shall become a part of the Deposit and shall be distributed as a part of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In any event, if Purchaser is entitled to have Deposit returned to Purchaser pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit shall nevertheless be paid to Seller as good and sufficient consideration for entering into this Agreement. In addition, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser, in evaluating the Property and performing its due diligence investigation of the Property, will devote internal resources and incur expenses, and that such efforts and expenses of Purchaser also constitute good, valuable and sufficient consideration for this Agreement.
TITLE AND SURVEY
2.1 Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance. Purchaser shall have the Seller’s title to the Property examined. The report of such title examination shall be in the form of an owner’s title insurance commitment (as initially issued to Purchaser, the “Title Commitment”) issued by Escrow Agent (in its capacity as title insurer sometimes herein called the “Title Company”).
2.2 Survey. On or before the Title Objection Date (as defined in Section 2.3(a)), Purchaser shall have the Real Property accurately surveyed by a licensed surveyor or engineer of Purchaser’s choice showing the actual boundaries of the Real Property, the acreage contained therein, the location of the Improvements and such other matters as Purchaser deems appropriate. Such survey shall constitute the “Survey” hereunder.
2.3 Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections.
(a) Purchaser shall have until the thirtieth (30th) day after the Effective Date (the “Title Objection Date”) to notify Seller, in writing, of such objections as Purchaser may have to the Title Commitment (including the title exception documents referred to therein) or the Survey, other than the Permitted Exceptions described in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.4. The items set forth on Schedule 2.3(a), attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof hereof, together with any item contained in the Title Commitment or shown on the Survey to which Purchaser does not object on or before the Title Objection Date shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception.”
-3-
(b) In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of objections to title or matters shown on the Survey on or before the Title Objection Date, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objections. On or before the fifth (5th) business day from and after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objections. Seller’s failure to provide such a notice shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure any such objection. If Seller elects to attempt to cure, and provided that Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, then Seller shall be obligated to cure such objection or objections. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any objections specified in Purchaser’s notice, then in either such case Purchaser shall have the right to elect one, but not both, of the following options, which election must in each case be made within the time period provided in paragraph (c) below:
(1) to accept the Seller’s title to the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Purchaser which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or
(2) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6 of this Agreement, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.
(c) If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any title objection or objection to matters disclosed on the Survey, or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure any title objections or objections to matters disclosed on the Survey, then in any such case Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days after receiving Seller’s notice or the date of Seller’s deemed election, as applicable, notify Seller in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (b)(1) above or to terminate this Agreement under clause (b)(2) above. Purchaser’s failure to provide such a notice will be deemed an election by Purchaser to accept conveyance under clause (b)(1) above.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at Closing to discharge all mortgages and other monetary liens encumbering the Property (regardless of whether Purchaser objects to such mortgage). (The term “mortgage” as used herein includes any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt and similar security instrument securing an indebtedness of Seller and encumbering the Property or any portion thereof; the terms “discharge” and “discharged” as used herein include compliance with a statutory bonding procedure that has the legal effect of removing the mortgage or other item as a lien on the Property); provided, however, that Purchaser shall pay any prepayment penalty, yield maintenance payment or any other
-4-
similar charge or expense imposed by the holder of the existing mortgage loan (the “Existing Mortgage Loan”) encumbering the Property in connection with the prepayment of the Existing Mortgage Loan.
2.4 Title to the Property. At Closing, Seller shall convey good, marketable and indefeasible title to the Property, subject only the Permitted Exceptions. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close this transaction that the Title Company shall have issued the Title Policy to Purchaser (or unconditionally committed to issue the Title Policy to Purchaser upon receipt of the title insurance premium therefor). “Title Policy” means an extended coverage American Land Title Association (ALTA) Form 1992 Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Real Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price, with the standard exceptions and the creditor’s rights exclusion deleted, and including the endorsements set forth in Schedule 2.2, attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, and subject only to the following matters (the “Permitted Exceptions”):
(a) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date, subject to proration and adjustment as herein provided;
(b) the rights of tenants, as tenants only, under the Leases described in the Rent Roll and any new Leases entered into between the Effective Date and Closing and (if required) approved by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(c) additional items, if any, appearing of record or shown on the Survey, approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5 hereof.
2.5 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Whether or not Purchaser shall have furnished to Seller any notice of title objections pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title first raised by the Title Company or the Survey after the effective date of the Title Commitment or the Survey, as appropriate; provided, however, that Purchaser must notify Seller of any such objections within ten (10) days of Purchaser’s first receipt of the updated title commitment or updated survey, whichever first provides notice of the condition giving rise to any such objection. With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same option to cure and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Purchaser on or before the Title Objection Date
2.6 Seller’s Covenant Not to Encumber. Seller agrees that, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will not sell, assign, rent, convey (absolutely or as security), grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber or dispose of, the Property (or any part thereof or estate therein) in any manner that will survive Closing, except as approved in writing by Purchaser or as expressly provided in this Agreement.

INSPECTION PERIOD
3.1 Right of Inspection of the Property.
(a) From and after the Effective Date and so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect, Purchaser shall have the right to make a physical inspection of the Property, and Purchaser, personally or through agents, employees or contractors, may go upon the Property during normal business hours or at other reasonable times to make boundary line or topographical surveys and to conduct such studies, tests, samplings, investigations and analyses of any and all aspects of the Property as Purchaser deems necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, engineering, environmental, soil, and groundwater and other tests, samplings and studies of the Property. Purchaser’s environmental study of the Property may include, among other matters, studies of soil and groundwater contamination, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead in drinking water, lead based paint, radon gas, and wetlands. Seller will provide Purchaser and its agents with access to the Property and will cooperate with Purchaser’s surveys, studies, tests, samplings, investigations, and analyses.
(b) In addition to any other obligation to assist Purchaser in the inspection of the Property, Seller hereby agrees to provide to Purchaser, within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, true and correct copies of all materials described on Schedule 3.1(b) attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, to the extent Seller has not already done so and these materials are available to Seller or any consultants employed by Seller, or are in the reasonable control of Seller or any consultants employed by Seller.
(c) Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs incurred in defending any such claim or in enforcing this indemnity) of whatsoever nature (individually, a “Claim,” and collectively, “Claims”) that may be incurred by Seller and arise out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Purchaser and its agents, representatives, contractors and consultants, or any of them in the inspection of the Property. Such Claims shall include, but are not limited to, Claims arising out of or in connection with personal injury or death of persons, loss, destruction or damage to property, or liens or Claims of lien filed against the Property. Such Claims shall exclude, however, any Claims to the extent such Claims arise out of the discovery of, or the non-negligent, accidental or inadvertent actual or threatened release or movement of, any Hazardous Materials resulting from Purchaser’s inspections and other activities (unless the Hazardous Materials are brought onto the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s authorized agents, employees, consultants or contractors). In defending the Indemnitee, Purchaser shall provide counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Purchaser shall backfill all trenches, fill holes and similarly repair damage and eliminate dangerous conditions created during its inspections, tests, and studies, whether such
-6-
conditions are created by the Purchaser or any of its agents, employees, contractors, or consultants. This Section 3.1(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(d) Purchaser shall maintain or shall cause its contractors to maintain a One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) comprehensive general liability insurance on an occurrence basis (including, without limitation, contractual liability, contractor’s protective liability, personal injury and property damage coverage) in a combined single limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) with reasonable deductibles, and a One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) worker’s compensation insurance in such amounts and with such coverages as may be required in the jurisdiction where the Property is located. Purchaser shall provide Seller evidence of such insurance, prior to any entry upon the Property to perform the inspections, in the form of an insurance certification. This Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.2 Right of Termination. Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, that it does not wish to acquire the Property for any reason or no reason, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Seller on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the Effective Date (the “Inspection Date”). Upon any such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Purchaser’s rights under this Section 3.2, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6 hereof, and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights and obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to give Seller timely notice of termination on or before the Inspection Date, as such date may be extended, then Purchaser shall no longer have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.2. (The period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Inspection Date, as such date may be extended, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Inspection Period.”)
CLOSING
4.1 Time and Place. The consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (“Closing”) shall be held in escrow at the offices of the Escrow Agent in Atlanta, Georgia at 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) on the date that is thirty (30) days after the end of the Inspection Period (or such extended date as may be provided under other provisions of this Agreement). The Closing may be held at such other place or such earlier time and date as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually approve in writing. The date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur hereunder (or, if earlier, the date on which Closing occurs) is sometimes referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller may, in at its sole option, extend the Closing Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing is scheduled to occur if the prepayment provisions of the Existing Loan require that prepayment of the Existing Mortgage occur on the last day of a calendar month.

4.2 Seller’s Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall:
(a) deliver to Purchaser a special warranty deed in the form in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4.2(a) and by this reference made a part hereof, duly executed by Seller, pursuant to which Seller shall convey the Real Property to Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions;

(c) execute and deliver to Purchaser a certificate (“Seller’s Closing Certificate”), dated as of the Closing Date, in the form of attached hereto as Schedule 4.2(c) and by this reference made a part hereof, stating that the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5.1 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date;

(f) join with Purchaser to execute a notice (the “Tenant Notice”) in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller, which Purchaser shall send to each tenant under each of the Leases informing such tenant of the sale of the Property and of the assignment to Purchaser of Seller’s interest in, and obligations under, the Leases (including, if applicable any security deposits) and directing that all rent and other sums payable after the Closing under each such Lease shall be paid as set forth in the notice;
(g) deliver to Purchaser a closing statement, duly executed by Seller and approved by Purchaser, consistent with the terms of this Agreement;

-8-
(j) deliver such additional documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Title Company or Purchaser or required to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller be required to indemnify the Title Company, Purchaser, or any other party pursuant to any such documents, or undertake any other material liability not expressly contemplated in this Agreement, unless Seller elects to do so in its sole discretion;
(k) deliver to Purchaser at the place of Closing or at the Property all keys and access control cards or fobs for the property, the Leases, the Service Contracts and licenses and permits, if any, in the possession of Seller or Seller’s agents, including any originally executed Leases and Service Contracts in Seller’s possession at the Property or otherwise in Seller’s reasonable control, together with such leasing and property files and records which are material in connection with the continued operation, leasing and maintenance of the Property and including all items of Tangible Personal Property or Intangible Personal Property that are in Seller’s possession or control; and
(l) deliver to Purchaser possession and occupancy of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
4.3 Purchaser’s Obligations at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall:
(a) deliver to the Escrow Agent the full amount of the Purchase Price, as increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, in immediately available federal funds wire transferred to an account designated in writing by Escrow Agent as set forth in Section 1.6 (“Escrow Agent’s Account”), and, as adjusted by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, shall be subsequently payable in full at Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to Escrow Agent prior to the Closing;
(b) deliver to Seller such evidence as Seller’s counsel and/or the Title Company may reasonably require as to the authority of the person or persons executing documents on behalf of Purchaser; and
(c) join Seller in execution of the Xxxx of Sale and Assignment and the Tenant Notice; and

(a) If the transaction closes before 2:00 P.M. Eastern time on the Closing Date, all income and expenses in connection with the operation of the Property shall be apportioned, as of 12:01 A.M., on the Closing Date, as if Purchaser were vested with ownership of the Property during the entire Closing Date, and such that, except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the benefit of all income and the burden of all expenses for all periods preceding the Closing
-9-
Date. If the transaction closes after 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the Closing Date, all income and expenses in connection with the operation of the Property shall be apportioned, as of 12:01 A.M., on the day after the Closing Date, as if Purchaser were vested with ownership of the Property during the entire day after the Closing Date, and such that, except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the benefit of all income and the burden of all expenses for all periods preceding the day after the Closing Date. Items (1)-(5) below will be prorated at Closing utilizing the information known at that time. A post-closing “true-up” shall take place within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date to adjust the prorations of said items (1), (3), (4) and (5), if necessary, and within a reasonable time to adjust the proration of said item (2), if necessary. Such prorated items shall include, without limitation, the following:
(1) rents, if any, based on the amount collected for the current month. The term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by tenants under the Leases other than refundable deposits, application fees, late charges, pet charges and termination payments (of which deposits and termination payments shall be treated as set forth in Section 4.4(b)(1) but such other amounts shall be retained by Seller);
(2) ad valorem taxes and assessments levied against the Property (including personal property taxes on the Tangible Personal Property), which shall be prorated as set forth in Section 4.4(b)(2) hereof;
(3) payments under the Service Contracts, which shall not include any “key” or “door” money;
(4) Seller utilizes the services of RUBS (residential utility billing service) to collect certain utility payments from tenants. All RUBS monies which have accrued to the credit of Seller which are unpaid at the Close of Escrow shall be credited to Seller. All other utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service which are expenses of the Property (not of individual tenants), other utilities, taxes (other than real estate and personal property taxes) such as rental taxes, other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business or the management and operation of the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the Close of Escrow and thereafter. To the extent possible, Seller and Buyer shall obtain xxxxxxxx and meter readings as of the Close of Escrow to aid in such prorations;
(5) if applicable, annual assessments or similar periodic charges under any private covenants, conditions, restrictions or easements affecting the Property; and
-10-
(6) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in comparable commercial transactions in the area in which the Property is located.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions:
(1) At Closing, (A) Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either deliver to Purchaser any unforfeited resident deposits shown on the Rent Roll or credit to Purchaser the amount of such unforfeited resident deposits and any interest thereon, (B) Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at either party’s option, Purchaser shall contract directly with the utility companies and Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits; provided that Purchaser and Seller will cooperate so that utility service to the Property is not interrupted; and (C) Purchaser shall receive a credit for the any termination payment equal to the unamortized amount thereof as of the Closing Date. For the purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(1) the term “unforfeited resident deposits” means any refundable resident deposits which are held by Seller and which Seller has not applied, and is not entitled to apply, against delinquent rents, property damage or otherwise;
(2) Any ad valorem taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments for the current year have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before Closing, and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing upon the availability of the final tax bills.
(3) Gas, electricity and other utility charges which are payable by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, except as to the RUBS payments described in Section 4.4(a)(5).
(4) Seller shall pay in full prior to the Closing all leasing commissions and locators’ and finders’ fees, if any, due to leasing or other agents (pursuant to a contractual arrangement with Seller) for each Lease entered into by Seller prior to the Closing Date promptly when due. Trade payables in the nature of open accounts payable to trade vendors or suppliers and all other accounts payable which have accrued prior to the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Seller.
-11-
(5) Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any. Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents; and

DEFAULT
6.1 Default by Purchaser. If the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Purchaser’s default hereunder, then Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such default, to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement and not as a penalty, it being agreed between the parties hereto that the actual damages to Seller in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof, Seller hereby expressly waiving and relinquishing any and all other remedies at law or in equity. Seller’s right to receive the Deposit is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to receive the Deposit as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx Purchaser: (a) for specific performance of this
-20-
Agreement, or (b) to recover any damages of any nature or description other than or in excess of the Deposit. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) xxx Seller or seek or claim a refund of the Deposit (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages. This Section 6.1 is subject to Section 6.4 hereof.
6.2 Default by Seller. If the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, then Seller shall refund the Deposit to Purchaser, on demand, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Purchaser hereunder, at law or in equity. Without limitation on the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to seek specific performance of this Agreement, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, but Purchaser shall not have any action for damages against Seller unless Seller’s default results from one or more of the following: (a) fraudulent misrepresentation, (b) criminal conduct (i.e. conduct that constitutes a felony under applicable law), or (c) an intentional and deliberate act of Seller taken on or after the Effective Date (including, but not limited to, sale of the Property to another person or entity while this Agreement is in effect) that is intended to result in, and does result in, Purchaser’s inability to consummate the transaction contemplated in this Agreement.
6.3 Notice of Default; Opportunity to Cure. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be deemed to be in default hereunder until and unless such party has been given written notice of its failure to comply with the terms hereof and thereafter does not cure such failure within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice, except that the failure to close on the Closing Date shall be a material default for which no notice need be given.
6.4 Recoverable Damages. Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 limit either Purchaser’s or Seller’s obligation to indemnify the other party or the damages recoverable by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party due to a party’s express obligation to indemnify the other party in accordance with Section 3.1(c), Section 8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement.
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
7.1 Casualty. If prior to Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.
(a) Material Damage. In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, either Seller or Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty (30) day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers). Upon any such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and the parties hereto shall have no
-21-
further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If neither Seller nor Purchaser so terminates this Agreement within said thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule, and as of Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction, and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (but the amount of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the cost of repair or (B) the Purchase Price and a pro rata share of the rental or business loss proceeds, if any). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, exceeds $500,000.00 to repair or which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, will take longer than ninety (90) days to repair.
(b) Not Material Damage. If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at its option, either (i) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, or (ii) credit Purchaser at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair (in which case Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs), except that Purchaser will receive loss of rent insurance proceeds applicable to the period after Closing, if any.
7.2 Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above.
COMMISSIONS
8.1 Representation and Indemnity. Purchaser and Seller each hereby represent and warrant to the other that it has not disclosed this Agreement or the subject matter hereof to, and has not otherwise dealt with, any real estate broker, agent or salesman so as to create any legal right or claim in any such broker, agent or salesman for a real estate commission or similar fee or compensation with respect to the negotiation and/or consummation of this Agreement or the sale and conveyance of the Property by Seller to Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser delivers a written request to Escrow Agent for the return of the Deposit at any time on or before the Inspection Date in connection with a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.2, then Escrow Agent shall promptly refund the Deposit to Purchaser without the necessity of notice to Seller or Seller’s consent.
9.4 Exculpation of Escrow Agent. It is agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are herein specifically provided and are purely ministerial in nature.

If such written authorization is not given, or a proceeding for such determination is not begun, within thirty (30) days of notice to Escrow Agent of such dispute, Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in any of the manners herein provided, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder.
