2. PURCHASE PRICE.

The total consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is Twenty Nine Million and No/100 Dollars ($29,000,000.00), which shall be paid as follows:

(a) Xxxxxxx Money.

(i) Within 1 Business Day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Land Services USA, Inc., as Agent for First American Title Insurance Company, c/o Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Esq., 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, (000) 000-0000 (“Escrowee”), the sum of $250,000.00 in the form of a federal funds wire transfer to an account designated by Escrowee, which together with any interest earned thereon, net of investment costs is referred to herein as the “Initial Xxxxxxx Money”. The failure of Purchaser to deposit the Initial Xxxxxxx Money within 1 Business Day after the Effective Date shall, at Seller’s election in writing (made prior to Purchaser making such deposit), render this Agreement null and void.

(ii) Provided that Purchaser has not elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(a) below, then within 1 Business Day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (defined below), Purchaser shall deposit the additional sum of $250,000.00 (together with the Initial Xxxxxxx Money and any interest earned on the Initial Xxxxxxx Money and said second deposit, net of investment costs, the “Xxxxxxx Money”), so that thereafter the total Xxxxxxx Money shall be $500,000.00.

(iii) If Purchaser so directs the Escrowee, Escrowee shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in an interest-bearing account. Any and all interest earned on the Xxxxxxx Money shall be reported to Purchaser’s federal tax identification number, and the interest earned on such funds shall be paid or credited to the party entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money as provided in this Agreement. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be held by Escrowee pursuant to a joint order escrow agreement among Seller, Purchaser and Escrowee in the form customarily used by Escrowee with such changes as may be necessary to conform to the terms of this Agreement. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be non-refundable except in the event of failure to close this transaction by reason of a default by Seller or if Purchaser is expressly otherwise entitled to the return of the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Closing, the Xxxxxxx Money (including any interest earned thereon) shall be delivered by the

3

Escrowee to Seller as payment toward the Purchase Price; provided, however, that at Purchaser’s option, any interest earned on the Xxxxxxx Money may be returned to Purchaser (in which event said earned interest shall not be credited against the Purchase Price).

(b) Cash at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price less the Xxxxxxx Money, plus or minus the adjustments and prorations required by this Agreement; such sum shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Escrowee (such amount, as adjusted, being referred to herein as the “Cash Balance”). All payments shall be made so as to have been received by Seller (or to be disbursed by Escrowee to Seller) by 1:00 p.m. Chicago (Central) time on the Closing Date.

(c) Seller’s Existing Financing. Seller covenants and agrees to pay-off and retire Seller’s existing financing on the Property (collectively, “Seller’s Existing Financing”) at or prior to the Closing.

3. OPERATION OF PROPERTY THROUGH CLOSING.

From the date of this Agreement through and including the first to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement or (ii) the Closing Date:

(a) Seller will promptly pay and discharge all ownership, leasing, operating, management and maintenance fees, costs and expenses incurred with respect to periods prior to the Closing, specifically including, without limitation, costs and expenses relating to materials used and labor performed;

(b) Seller shall substantially perform, comply with and observe all of the covenants and conditions that are to be performed, complied with or observed on the part of the landlord under each Lease;

(c) Seller shall not enter into any new Lease without Purchaser’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, except such consent shall not be required for any Lease pursuant to which (i) the tenant is obligated to pay market rent less any preferred employer program discount (currently $25-$41 depending on unit), (ii) the term of years is consistent with that set forth in the other Leases and (iii) the tenant shall not pay, and Seller as landlord shall not accept, any rent prepaid more than one (1) month in advance;

(d) Seller shall not enter into any management, maintenance, service or other contracts relating to the Property, or amend or modify any such existing contracts, which will remain in force after the Closing, unless Seller has obtained Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto. Seller shall not suffer or permit any default to exist under any such contracts and shall enforce the provisions thereof, but shall take no action against any party thereto based upon a default thereunder without first obtaining the approval of Purchaser;

(e) Seller shall operate and manage the Property in the normal and ordinary course consistent with past practices and in material compliance with all applicable laws, shall not permit any material waste or nuisance thereon, and shall maintain the Property, ordinary wear and tear excepted, in the better of either (i) its present condition or (ii) the condition in which it is as of the date that Purchaser approved the condition of the Property following Purchaser’s inspection of the same;

4

(f) Seller shall cause all vacant apartment units to be in “rent ready” condition in a manner consistent with Seller’s current practices as of the Closing, other than such apartments which become vacant less than five (5) business days prior to Closing;

(g) Seller shall timely pay all taxes, assessments and utility charges affecting the Property and shall maintain in full force and effect and pay all premiums on all fire, extended coverage, liability and other insurance policies currently covering the Property, and shall not reduce the amount of coverage of any such policies;

(h) Seller shall not encumber the Property or itself in any way whatsoever, including, without limitation, incurring any debt or selling any interest in Seller or any part of the Property, or making any contract, agreement or commitment to do any of the same, without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance, which may be withheld by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion;

(i) Seller will promptly notify Purchaser in writing if Seller receives notice of any casualty loss, condemnation proceedings, or any other action, litigation or proceeding (or threat thereof) affecting the Property or challenging or impairing Seller’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

(j) Seller will promptly notify Purchaser if Seller receives any written notice from any governmental entity of any (x) uncured material violations by Seller of any law affecting the Land including any environmental law or (y) zoning changes with respect to any portion of the Land.

At Closing, Seller shall terminate any management agreement affecting the Property. In addition, Seller shall terminate any Service Contract, other than the Mandatory Service Contracts (as hereinafter defined), as to which Purchaser has provided written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to terminate, and any charges thereunder resulting from failure to provide notice of termination on or before the Closing Date which become due after the Closing Date and through the date of actual termination shall be included as a prorated expense. As used herein, the term “Mandatory Service Contracts” shall mean those Service Contracts which are not cancelable on thirty (30) days notice or which require a penalty in connection with the cancellation thereof, which are identified as such to Purchaser either on Exhibit C or by written notice delivered to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date. Purchaser shall be required to assume all Mandatory Service Contracts.

4. STATUS OF TITLE TO PROPERTY.

(a) State of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s permitted assignee, the entire fee simple estate in and to the Premises by a recordable special warranty deed, subject only to: (i) those covenants, conditions and restrictions and other exceptions to title of record which are approved or deemed approved hereunder by Purchaser, (ii) the lien of general real estate taxes and assessments which are not yet due or payable, (iii) the Leases, and (iv) any title exceptions arising by reason of acts of the Purchaser (the above enumerated exceptions are collectively referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”).

5

(b) Preliminary Evidence of Title.

(i) Purchaser will order and thereafter obtain a current title commitment for an ALTA owner’s standard coverage title insurance policy for the Premises, together with copies of all documents of records shown as exceptions to title therein (the “Title Commitment”), issued by the Chicago (loop), Illinois offices of First American Title Insurance Company or such other title insurer selected by Purchaser and reasonably accepted by Seller (the “Title Insurer”) and showing title to the Premises in Seller. Purchaser will furnish Seller with copies of the Title Commitment and copies of documents.

(ii) Prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Seller has delivered to Purchaser or Purchaser’s counsel, and Purchaser acknowledges receipt of, a copy of Seller’s existing plat(s) of survey for the Premises (collectively, the “Survey”). Purchaser, at its election and sole cost and expense, may obtain updated surveys of the Premises (which may be a recertification or update of the Survey) within the Due Diligence Period (collectively, the “Updated Survey”). If Purchaser obtains the Updated Survey, Purchaser shall promptly deliver a copy of the same to Seller and the Title Insurer.

(c) Title Defects. If the Title Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions to title objectionable to Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion (each, a “Defect” and collectively, the “Defects”), except for exceptions relating to Seller’s Existing Financing which Seller shall cause to be removed at Closing, the rights of tenants, as tenants only, under the Leases, and the lien of general real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Chicago (Central) time on the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Title Objection Date”) to so notify Seller in writing (the “Purchaser’s Title Notice”). Any matters disclosed by the Title Commitment or the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser on or before the Title Objection Date shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser shall deliver the Purchaser’s Title Notice to Seller as aforesaid, Seller shall, within five (5) days after receipt of the same, notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Notice”) whether Seller intends to either (i) cause any or all of the Defects to be removed or insured over, or (ii) take no further action regarding any or all of the Defects. Seller’s failure to deliver to Purchaser a Seller’s Notice within the aforementioned five (5) day period shall be deemed Seller’s election of the course of action set forth in clause (ii) above. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, the course of action set forth in clause (ii) above with respect to any or all of the Defects, then Purchaser shall have the right (as its sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, at law and in equity), by delivering written notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to either (A) terminate this Agreement and immediately receive from Escrowee the Xxxxxxx Money, whereupon this

6

Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect (except for the Surviving Obligations (as hereinafter defined)), or (B) waive its uncured objection and accept title to the Property subject to such Defects (with no reduction in the Purchase Price) whereupon such Defects which had been objected to shall be deemed approved and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser fails to make either such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (B).

If Seller has elected pursuant to this Section 4(c) to cure or insure over a Defect, but is unable to do so within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, at law and in equity), by delivering notice thereof to Seller within five (5) days after such 15-Business Day period elect to either (y) terminate this Agreement and immediately receive from Escrowee the Xxxxxxx Money whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect (except for the Surviving Obligations), or (z) waive its uncured objection and accept title to the Property subject to such Defects (with no reduction in the Purchase Price) whereupon such Defects which had been objected to shall be deemed approved and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser fails to make either such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (z).

(d) No Obligation to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no obligation to remove, cure or cause the Title Insurer to insure over any Defects other than the Seller’s Existing Financing.

5. CLOSING.

(a) Closing Date. The “Closing” of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (that is, the payment of the Cash Balance, the transfer of title to the Property, and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions of this Agreement) shall occur via an escrow at 10:00 a.m. Central (Chicago) time at the offices of the Escrowee (or at such other time or location as agreed upon by the parties) on the 15^th calendar day after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or such other date as Purchaser and Seller shall agree upon in writing but in no event later than January 31, 2014. The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 9 and 10 herein, unless waived in writing by the party in whose favor the condition runs. The Closing shall be a so-called “New York style” closing. The “Closing Date” shall be the date of Closing.

(c) Closing Prorations and Adjustment. A statement of prorations and other adjustments shall be prepared by Seller and/or Escrowee in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement and submitted to Purchaser for review and approval at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of prorations, Purchaser shall be deemed the owner of the Property on the Closing Date. In addition to prorations and other adjustments that may otherwise be provided for in this Agreement, the following items are to be prorated or adjusted, as the case may require, as of the Closing Date:

(i) Ad valorem property taxes and assessments for the calendar year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser on an accrual basis based on the last fully-known payable annual taxes, and Seller shall give Purchaser a credit at Closing equal to Seller’s share of such proration, with such proration to be adjusted in cash between Seller and Purchaser promptly after presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes paid in the calendar year of Closing differ from the amounts used for proration purposes at Closing. If any appeal or other proceeding for the reduction of ad valorem property taxes payable for the prorated period is pending as of the Closing Date, then any refund awarded, less all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in prosecuting the appeals or other proceeding, shall be prorated by the parties within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the refund in the same proportion as the ad valorem property taxes for such period were prorated. Any refunds or reductions in ad valorem property taxes payable for years preceding the year of Closing shall belong solely to Seller;

(ii) the rent payable by tenants under the Leases; provided, however, that rent and all other sums which are due and payable to Seller by any tenant but uncollected as of the Closing shall not be adjusted, but Purchaser shall cause the rent and other sums attributable to the period prior to Closing and received prior to the expiration of the period of one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing to be remitted to Seller if, as, and when collected (but Purchaser shall not be required to take legal action for such amounts accruing prior to the Closing), it being acknowledged and agreed that Purchaser shall have no obligation to remit to Seller any rent or other sums collected one hundred twenty (120) days or more after Closing. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all rent, charges and other amounts payable by tenants after the Closing with respect to which Seller is entitled to receive a share under this Agreement, and any amount due and owing to Seller before the Closing by tenants under the Leases which are unpaid on the date of Closing (such amounts are collectively referred to herein as the “Delinquent Amounts”). Rental and other payments received by Purchaser from tenants shall first be applied

10

toward the payment of current rent and other charges owed to Purchaser for periods after the Closing, and any excess monies received shall be applied toward the payment of Delinquent Amounts; provided, however, that any rent received during the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller for the month in which the Closing occurs, and not toward the payment of rent and other charges for subsequent months. Any rent received by Seller after the Closing Date shall be prorated in accordance with the terms of this paragraph (ii), with Purchaser’s portion thereof being promptly remitted to Purchaser. Purchaser may not waive any Delinquent Amounts or modify a Lease so as to reduce amounts or charges owed under Leases for any period in which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts, without first obtaining the written consent of Seller. With respect to Delinquent Amounts owed by tenants that are no longer tenants of the Property as of the date of Closing, Seller shall have the right to attempt to effect collection by litigation or otherwise;

(iii) the full amount of security deposits, prepaid rent and the refundable portion of pet or cleaning fees paid under the Leases, and not theretofore applied, together with interest thereon to the extent any interest is required by law or otherwise to be paid to such tenants pursuant to the Leases, shall, at Purchaser’s option, be credited by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date or shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation, if any, to pay the security and other deposits to tenants under the Leases which are credited to Purchaser at Closing.

(iv) fuel, water and sewer service charges, and charges for gas, electricity, telephone and all other utility and fuel charges shall be prorated ratably on the basis of the last ascertainable bills (and reprorated upon receipt of the actual bills or invoices), to the extent not paid directly by tenants under their respective Leases, unless final meter readings and final invoices can be obtained. To the extent practicable, Seller shall cause meters for utilities to be read not more than 3 days prior to the date of Closing;

(v) amounts due and prepayments under the Service Contracts to be assigned to Purchaser. All amounts for services rendered or materials furnished under the Service Contracts assumed by Purchaser and accruing after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser;

(vi) assignable license and permit fees paid on an annual or other periodic basis; and

(vii) other expenses of operation and similar items.

Except as stated above, any proration which must be estimated at Closing shall be reprorated and finally adjusted as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing, with any refunds payable to Seller or Purchaser to

11

be made as soon as practicable; otherwise all prorations shall be final. Amounts on deposit with utility companies shall be credited to Seller at Closing and promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall inform such utilities of such change in ownership of the Property; provided, however that if any utility company refunds the amounts on deposit to Seller after receipt of notice from Purchaser of such change in ownership of the Property, Seller shall cause such sums to be remitted to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof.

(d) Closing Costs. Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay the cost of any title endorsements necessary to remove Defects and deed recording fees and one-half of the Escrowee’s closing escrow fees. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay the cost of the Title Commitment, the premium for the issuance of an owner’s title insurance policy and any endorsements and extended coverage related thereto, the cost of any lender’s title insurance policy and endorsements thereto, one-half of the Escrowee’s closing escrow fees, the cost of any Updated Survey, and all transfer taxes imposed on the conveyance of the deed of the Property. Purchaser shall pay for any escrow, recording fees, and taxes that relate to its financing, if any. Except as set forth in Section 12(a) hereof, all costs of Purchaser’s due diligence activities including engineering, environmental reports and lease and expense audits shall be paid by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for the fees and costs of their respective attorneys and professional consultants.

(e) Possession. Upon Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser possession of the Property, subject only to the Leases and the other Permitted Exceptions.

6. CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION.

If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned, or destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty (that is, damage or destruction which Seller reasonably estimates could cost in excess of $1,000,000.00 to repair or restore or which materially impedes access to the Premises or any material part thereof), Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement, which shall be exercised by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within ten (10) days following the date Purchaser receives written notice of the condemnation or material damage. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrowee, and this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the provisions hereof expressly survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement (hereinafter collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”). If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, the parties shall consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such condemnation, destruction or material damage, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all of the condemnation proceeds or, after Closing, to settle the loss under all policies of insurance applicable to the destruction or damage and receive all of the proceeds of insurance applicable thereto. Seller shall, at Closing and thereafter, execute and deliver to Purchaser all required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items. If there is any other damage or destruction (that is, damage or destruction which Seller reasonably estimates could cost $1,000,000.00 or less to repair or restore, or which does not materially impede access to the Property or any material part thereof), Seller shall either completely repair such damage prior to

12

Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or, at Purchaser’s option, either assign all insurance claims pertaining to such damage or destruction to Purchaser by executing and delivering to Purchaser at Closing and thereafter all required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items, or allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to Purchaser’s and Seller’s mutual reasonably estimated cost of repair. If Seller elects to assign all insurance claims to Purchaser as provided for in this Section 6, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit against the Cash Balance in an amount equal to any deductible(s) and uninsured amounts applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain, and shall not be required to assign, any insurance proceeds for loss of the rents applicable to the period preceding Closing.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(a) The Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that the following are true, complete and correct as of the date of this Agreement:

(i) Seller has no employees at the Property, and any employees at the Property are employees of the management company. There are no collectively bargaining agreements, multiemployer plans or similar plans or agreements with respect to the Property.

17

(i) Purchaser represents to Seller that it is duly organized, validly existing and qualified and empowered to conduct its business and has full power and authority to enter into and fully perform and comply with the terms of this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor its performance by Purchaser will conflict with or result in the breach of any contract, agreement, law, rule or regulation to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

(ii) The individual executing this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein on behalf of Purchaser has the legal power, right, and actual authority to bind Purchaser to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof.

8. SCHEDULES.

Seller has previously furnished to Purchaser or will promptly furnish or make available to Purchaser at the Property within four (4) Business Days after the Effective Date (and at all times thereafter) the materials listed on Exhibit H attached hereto, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control (collectively, the “Seller’s Deliveries”). To the extent feasible, Seller shall deliver the foregoing items to Purchaser at xxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx. Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy or completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning the contents of Seller’s Deliveries prepared by third parties. If the sale of the Property is not closed, Purchaser and its agents shall return all of Seller’s Deliveries and all copies thereof to Seller, and Purchaser and its agents shall not retain any copies thereof; such obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9. PURCHASER’S CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

At the option of Purchaser, the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement are contingent and conditional upon any one or more of the following, the failure of any of which shall, at the request of Purchaser and upon written notice to Seller, after the return to Purchaser

18

of the Xxxxxxx Money (which shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy in such event), render this Agreement null and void (except for the Surviving Obligations):

(a) During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. Central (Chicago) time on the date which is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (which period is referred to herein as the “Due Diligence Period”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9(a) and Section 13(a), Purchaser shall have the right to verify, inspect, investigate and review, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion: (i) documentation of any covenants, conditions and restrictions and other exceptions of title of record, (ii) the condition of title to the Property and the Survey, (iii) the zoning and compliance of the Property with governmental and municipal rules and regulations; (iv) the physical condition of the Property, (v) the Leases and Service Contracts, (vi) the environmental condition of the Property, (vii) the operating statements and books and records; and (viii) any and all other documentation or evidence relating to the ownership, zoning, value, income, expense, operation, leasing and maintenance and repair of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may not perform any soil testing or other invasive testing on the Property without Seller’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such testing is necessitated by a Phase I Environmental Report. If Purchaser determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the Property is not acceptable for its purposes, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller in writing before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any continuing rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than the Surviving Obligations). Purchaser’s failure to terminate this Agreement within the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9(a).

(b) Seller shall have duly performed, in all material respects, each and every covenant and agreement to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

(c) The Title Insurer shall be prepared to issue an ALTA 2006 Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (or marked commitment therefor) with all standard printed exceptions deleted, as well as any extended coverage and such endorsements as may be requested by Purchaser, insuring good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Premises in Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

10. SELLER’S CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. At the option of Seller, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement are contingent and conditional upon the following, the failure of which shall, at the request of Seller and upon written notice to Purchaser, render this Agreement null and void:

(a) Purchaser shall have duly performed, in all material respects, each and every covenant and agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and Purchaser’s representations, warranties and covenants shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

19

11. BROKERAGE. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has dealt with no broker or finder in connection with this transaction other than Seller has listed the property with CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“Named Broker”). If and when the transaction contemplated hereby closes, Seller shall pay the Named Broker a commission pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement entered into by Seller and Named Broker. Each party indemnifies and holds the other party harmless from and against any and all other claims of all brokers and finders claiming by, through or under said party and in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the other party in connection with such claims. The obligations of the parties under this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Seller defaults under this Agreement, at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may elect as its sole and exclusive remedy either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except the Surviving Obligations, or (ii) Purchaser may xxx Seller for specific performance of the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to the Permitted Exceptions with no reduction in Purchase Price. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Xxxxxxx Money if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in Lake County, Illinois, on or before 60 days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred. In no event shall Seller be liable for any actual, special, punitive, speculative or consequential damages. None of Seller’s partners, members, managers, officers, agents or employees shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature or by reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the Closing Documents or the transactions contemplated herein, and Purchaser waives for itself and for anyone who may claim by, through or under Purchaser any and all rights to xxx or recover on account of any such alleged personal liability. If Purchaser timely elects to pursue the remedy of specific performance as described above, Purchaser may record a bona fide lis pendens notice against the Land. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as the result of a Seller default hereunder, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser up to $25,000 for Purchaser’s out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Seller’s obligations under the foregoing sentence shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

20

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Purchaser defaults under this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be forfeited to Seller as liquidated damages, which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity against Purchaser, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than the Surviving Obligations). Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (1) the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (2) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (3) Purchaser seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money in the event this Agreement is terminated and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; and (4) the Xxxxxxx Money shall be and constitute valid liquidated damages and not a penalty.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Entry upon Property; Restoration; Indemnity.

(i) Between the Effective Date and continuing until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser and its agents or representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Property upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (except as otherwise set forth herein) and during normal business hours for the purpose of examining, inspecting and testing the Property; provided that (i) no such entry upon the Property shall unreasonably interfere with the operations of Seller’s business on the Property or the rights of tenants, and (ii) Purchaser furnishes Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and in an amount reasonably acceptable to Seller insuring Seller against loss by reasons of matters set forth in the following sentence. Purchaser hereby agrees to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and save Seller harmless against all liabilities, obligations, claims (including mechanic’s lien claims), damages, penalties, causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Seller involving either bodily injury or property damage in connection with or arising out of the entry by Purchaser or its agents or representatives upon the Premises, either prior to or after execution and delivery of this Agreement and caused by Purchaser’s employees, agents or independent contractors and the actions of such persons on the Premises. In the event any part of the Property is or has been damaged or excavated by Purchaser, its employees, agents or independent contractors, Purchaser agrees to return the Property to its condition immediately prior to such damage or excavation. Any inspection of units shall be made during ordinary business hours upon forty-eight (48) hours’ prior notice to Seller, subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases. Notwithstanding

21

anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no right to conduct any Phase II environmental audit or other intrusive testing on the Property, without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(a)(i) to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify Seller for any loss arising from conditions in existence on the Property prior to Purchaser’s entry thereon for testing in accordance with this Section 13(a)(i).

(ii) Unless Seller specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, and until the Closing shall have been completed, Purchaser agrees that all information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to it by Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives (including, without limitation, the Seller’s Deliveries) (the “Proprietary Information”) is confidential and shall not be disclosed by Purchaser to any other person except to those assisting Purchaser with the transaction, or to Purchaser’s lender or prospective partners, if any, and then only upon Purchaser making such person aware of this confidentiality restriction and procuring such person’s agreement to be bound thereby, or to a court of competent jurisdiction as required by law or court order, or as otherwise may be required by applicable law (including, all securities laws). In the event the purchase and sale contemplated hereby fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser agrees to return to Seller, or cause to be returned to Seller all Proprietary Information and all copies thereof. Further, Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated purchase, or if same is consummated, in connection with the operation of the Property post-Closing or as may be required by law.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, including, without limitation, any provision stating that this Agreement shall become null and void following a return or application of the Xxxxxxx Money, Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 13(a) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and shall survive Closing.

(b) Assignment. Neither party hereto shall assign or transfer its interest in this Agreement except (i) in the furtherance of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 13(k), and (ii) Purchaser may assign this Agreement to an entity controlled by or under common control with Purchaser provided such entity assumes all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, and Seller is given prompt written notice and an executed copy of such assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any such assignment hereof relieve the assignor of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns.

22

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property and shall not be modified or amended except in a written document signed by Seller and Purchaser. Any prior agreement or understanding between Seller and Purchaser concerning the Property is hereby rendered null and void.

(d) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. In the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included, unless it is not a Business Day, in which case the period shall be deemed to run until the end of the next Business Day.

(e) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions hereof.

(g) Legal Fees. In the event of a default by either party of its obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing party in any action or proceeding in any court in connection therewith shall be entitled to recover from such other party its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and associated court costs.

14. RECORD ACCESS AND RETENTION: Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser reasonable access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser’s auditor to conduct an audit, in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, of the income statements of the Property for the year to date of the year in which Closing occurs plus the two (2) immediately preceding calendar years (provided, however, that other than fees paid or payable to Seller, a Seller affiliate or a third party for on-site property management, such audit shall not include an audit of asset management fees internally allocated by Seller (as opposed to paid to a third party) or interest expenses attributable to Seller). Purchaser shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including (without limitation) income and balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority. Seller’s obligation to maintain its records for use under this Article 14 shall be an on going condition to Closing for Purchaser’s benefit until Closing. Seller shall maintain its records for use under this Article 14 for a period of not less than one (1) year after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.

As requested from time to time by Purchaser in writing before Closing, in addition to the items delivered pursuant to Article 8 above, Seller promptly shall provide to Purchaser access to or copies of all such requested documents and information in the possession of Seller or its property manager(s) respecting the physical condition, operation, leasing, management, maintenance or repair of the Real Property, and the right at the cost and expense of Purchaser to inspect the same and make copies thereof, it being acknowledged that such rights of access and inspection and right to receive and make copies is given without any express or implied representation, warranty or covenant made by Seller in any respect, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

15. ESCROW AGREEMENT.

(a) Deposit. Escrowee agrees to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money in an interest bearing account, subject to the receipt from the Purchaser of a form W-9 for the purposes of investing said funds and to hold and disburse said funds, and any interest earned thereon, as hereinafter provided. Upon written notification from Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Escrowee shall release the funds in accordance with and pursuant to the written instructions. If Purchaser certifies that it has timely delivered a notice of termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrowee may release the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrowee may only deliver the Xxxxxxx Money upon the joint written instructions of both Seller and Purchaser. In the event of a dispute between any of the parties hereto sufficient in the sole discretion of Escrowee to justify its doing so, Escrowee shall be entitled to tender unto the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all money or property in its hands held under the terms of this Agreement, together with such legal pleading as it deems appropriate, and thereupon be discharged.

(b) Escrowee. Seller and Purchaser covenant and agree that in performing any of its duties under this Agreement, Escrowee shall not be liable for any loss, costs or damage which it may incur as a result of serving as Escrowee hereunder, except for any loss, costs or damage arising out of its willful default or gross negligence. Accordingly, Escrowee shall not incur any liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith upon advice of its counsel given with respect to any questions relating to its duties and responsibilities, or (ii) to any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document, including any written notice of instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrowee shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Indemnity. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrowee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and disbursements which may be imposed upon or incurred by Escrowee in connection with its serving as Escrowee hereunder, except for any loss, costs or damage arising out of its willful default or gross negligence. The provisions of this Section 14(c) shall survive a termination of this Agreement.
