AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 8th day of August, 2012, by and between HMSREG, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, and CSL HILLMEADOWS, LTD., an Ohio limited liability company (together, “Seller”), and STEADFAST ASSET HOLDINGS, INC., a California corporation (“Buyer”), with reference to the following facts:

B.Property Owner is the fee simple owner of that certain land with a multifamily residential project commonly known as Hilliard Summit, consisting of 208 units situated thereon, located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx, 00000, and more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto, together with all structures, improvements, machinery, fixtures and equipment affixed or attached to the land (collectively referred to herein as the “Real Property”).
C.Seller desires to sell the Membership Interests and all rights pertaining thereto, along with certain related personal and intangible property, to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase such Membership Interests and related rights from Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1.PURCHASE AND SALE.
1.1 Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for the consideration herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell and transfer, and Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire, the Membership Interests and all rights, title and privileges of Seller relating thereto. The Membership Interests shall not include any claims that Property Owner or Buyer may have against Seller due to matters arising under the terms of the Organizational Documents (as hereinafter defined) or with respect to Property Owner or its property, assets or business prior to the Closing (the “Residual Claims”) it being understood and agreed that such Residual Claims shall remain an obligation of Seller; provided however, that in no event shall Residual Claims include claims by Buyer against Seller relating to the physical or environmental condition of the Property except to the extent such claims arise under this Agreement as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty by Seller, a default by Seller or an indemnification obligation of Seller, each as and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. After the Closing, Seller will have no right, title or interest in Property Owner or any of its assets or property (including, without limitation, the Property, as hereinafter defined). Property Owner is the owner of the following (collectively, the “Property”):
1
1.1.1 The Real Property;
1.1.2 All easements, licenses, interests, rights, privileges, tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances on or in anywise appertaining to the Real Property;
1.1.3 All equipment, tools, machinery, materials, furniture, furnishings, supplies and other tangible personal property owned by Property Owner and located on or used in connection with or arising out of the ownership, management or operation of the Real Property as of the date hereof, as more particularly described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto (collectively, “Personal Property”);
1.1.4 All leases and occupancy agreements relating to the Property in effect on the Date of Closing (as hereinafter defined), including all amendments thereto (collectively, “Leases”) (the Leases in effect on the date of this Agreement are identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto);
1.1.5 Subject to Section 6.6 below, all service, maintenance, supply or other contracts relating to the operation of the Property in effect as of the date hereof (including without limitation all warranties and license agreements), which are identified on Schedule 2 attached hereto (collectively, “Contracts”);
1.1.6 All licenses, permits, certificates of occupancy and governmental approvals relating to the Property, including without limitation those identified on Schedule 3 attached hereto (collectively, “Approvals”) and any plans, specifications, studies, reports or surveys relating to the Property; and
1.1.7 All entitlements and intangible personal property in connection with or arising out of the ownership of the Real Property, including, without limitation, all trade names and logos, and, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Buyer, all web domains, websites, and internet addresses relating exclusively to the Real Property or Property Owner but excluding any names of unit types such as “classic”, “estate”, and “arbors”, and excluding all intellectual property that is also used on properties owned by affiliates of Seller (the “Intangible Property”).
1.2 No Warranty. Subject to the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement, Seller is selling and Buyer is purchasing the Membership Interests “AS IS WHERE IS” with all faults.
2. PURCHASE PRICE.
The total purchase price (“Purchase Price”) to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Membership Interests shall be TWENTY-FOUR MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($24,100,000.00), payable all in cash.
3. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.
The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
2
3.1 Deposit. As part of the Opening of Escrow (as defined below), Buyer shall deliver to XXXXXX TITLE AGENCY, INC. (“Escrow Holder”), which has an address of 0000 X. Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, the sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) (“Initial Deposit”) in immediately available funds as a good faith deposit. The Initial Deposit, the Extension Deposit (as hereinafter defined), if any, and all interest earned on any of the foregoing, shall be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Deposit”. At Buyer's discretion, Escrow Holder shall place the Deposit in one or more government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and Buyer (which shall have no penalty for early withdrawal), and shall not commingle the Deposit with any funds of Escrow Holder or any other person or entity. All interest earned on the Deposit shall be included within the meaning of the term “Deposit” in this Agreement. If Closing occurs in accordance with this Agreement, the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price. The Initial Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer within one (1) Business Day if (y) Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.5 below or (z) Escrow fails to close due to (i) Seller’s breach of this Agreement, (ii) the failure of a condition to close under Section 4.2 that is for the benefit of Buyer (for the avoidance of doubt, a failure of Buyer to deliver funds or instruments under Section 4.2.2, the existence of a matter described in Section 4.2.5 with respect to Buyer or a breach by Buyer under Section 4.2.4 would not constitute a failure of condition under Section 4.2 that is for the benefit of Buyer), or (iii) a casualty or condemnation event as described in Section 12 below occurs. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by either Seller or Buyer for any reason other than pursuant to Section 6.5, Escrow Holder is authorized to deliver the Deposit to the party hereto entitled to same pursuant to the terms hereof on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following receipt by Escrow Holder and the non-terminating party of written notice of such termination from the terminating party, unless the other party hereto notifies Escrow Holder that it disputes the right of the other party to receive the Deposit. In such event, Escrow Holder may interplead the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the Deposit has been deposited. All attorneys’ fees and costs and Escrow Holder’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Deposit, or if the Deposit is distributed in part to both parties, then in the inverse proportion of such distribution. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required to be closed for business in the State of California.
3.2 Remainder of Purchase Price. On or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow immediately available funds in an amount which, when added to the Deposit, will equal the Purchase Price plus any additional amounts necessary to cover costs and/or prorations under this Agreement.
3.3 Buyer Default; Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS IS NOT COMPLETED AND THIS AGREEMENT TERMINATES BECAUSE BUYER MATERIALLY DEFAULTS UNDER OR MATERIALLY BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE AND A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO CURE), THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER UPON TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE
3
REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, ACTUAL DAMAGES MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WILL BE INCURRED BY SELLER IF BUYER MATERIALLY DEFAULTS UNDER OR MATERIALLY BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO PURCHASE THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS.

3.4 Seller Default; Specific Performance. If Seller is in default hereunder (including without limitation as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller expressly provided in this Agreement), Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Deposit and any and all actual, documented, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in connection with its negotiation of this Agreement, examinations, inspections and/or investigations of the Membership Interest and the Property, or any proposed financing of the proposed purchase of the Membership Interests to date up to (but not exceeding) $200,000.00 plus, if said default occurs after the date on which the Buyer has deposited any "commitment deposit" or "rate lock deposit" or similar non-refundable deposit with any lender in connection with the Property or the Membership Interests (provided that Buyer shall have given Seller not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice of such commitment deposit or rate lock deposit and provided further that such commitment deposit or rate lock deposit is made no earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the amount of such deposit (which obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement and Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to enforce), or (b) assert and seek judgment for specific performance to consummate the sale of the Membership Interests hereunder, or (c) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence or in Section 13 below, Buyer expressly waives its rights to seek any damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before ten (10) Business Days following the Outside Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within two months following the Outside Closing Date. Buyer’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 3.4 and Section 13. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for Buyer's costs under subsection (a) hereof or for the amounts or Buyer's costs set forth in immediately preceding sentence as a result of (x) an Immaterial Disclosure Omission (as defined in Section 6.1), (y) an immaterial breach of a representation or warranty, or (z) an immaterial breach of a covenant under this Agreement (including under Section 21), if such failure or breach was unintentional and such
4
document, representation and warranty or covenant would not have been material to a commercially reasonable public REIT purchaser in a similar transaction.
4. ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS.
4.1 Opening of Escrow. Within three (3) Business Days after the mutual execution of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer, the parties shall open an escrow (“Escrow”) with Escrow Holder in order to consummate the purchase and sale in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof by (i) Buyer delivering to Escrow Holder the Initial Deposit and (ii) Buyer and Seller delivering to Escrow Holder their respective executed counterparts of this Agreement (collectively, the “Opening of Escrow”). Escrow Holder shall deliver written confirmation of the date of the Opening of Escrow to the parties in the manner set forth in Section 17 of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be countersigned by Escrow Holder and the provisions hereof shall constitute joint primary escrow instructions to Escrow Holder; provided, however, that the parties shall execute such additional instructions as requested by Escrow Holder not inconsistent with the provisions hereof.
4.2 Conditions to Close. Escrow shall not close unless and until the following conditions precedent and contingencies have been satisfied or waived in writing by the party for whose benefit the conditions have been included:
4.2.1 Intentionally omitted.
4.2.2 All funds and instruments described in Sections 3 and 10 have been delivered to Escrow Holder and Seller and Buyer have approved, executed and delivered a settlement statement reflecting the Purchase Price, all prorations, and all closing costs as required under this Agreement (the “Settlement Statement”).
4.2.3 The title department of Leadership Title Company, LLC ("Title Company") shall have irrevocably committed to Buyer in writing to issue an ALTA extended owner’s policy of title insurance from First American Title Insurance Company, in form and content approved by Buyer before the end of the Due Diligence Period, and to the extent of any changes to such approved form made by Title Company from and after the end of the Due Diligence Period until Closing, subject to Buyer's approval of such subsequent changes in its commercially reasonable discretion, insuring Buyer’s fee simple title to the Real Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
4.2.4 Seller and Buyer shall each have materially performed, observed and complied with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, observed and/or complied with by such party prior to, or as of, the Closing.
4.2.5 The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except for representations and warranties made as of, or limited by, a specific date, which
5
will be true and correct in all material respects as of the specified date or as limited by the specified date.
4.2.6 There shall exist no pending or threatened actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings, against the other party that would materially and adversely affect that party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
4.2.7 The stabilized physical occupancy of the Property shall average 85% (or 177 occupied units) or greater for the past 90 days of occupancy with rents under any Leases executed or extended from and after the date hereof being not less than the current rents on the rent roll set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto and with no free rent periods or other economic concessions during the past 90 day period.
4.3 Recordation and Transfer. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 above, Escrow Holder shall transfer the Membership Interests as follows:
4.3.1 Intentionally omitted;
4.3.2 Deliver to the parties entitled thereto the Closing Documents (as hereinafter defined); and
4.3.3 Disburse all funds deposited with Escrow Holder by Buyer in payment of the Purchase Price for the Membership Interests (subject to applicable prorations) to Seller or, for closing costs, to the party entitled thereto, all as set forth in the Settlement Statement.
5. CLOSING.
5.1 Generally. Escrow shall close upon the delivery and acceptance of the Assignment in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (“Date of Closing“, “Closing Date“, “Closing“ or “Close of Escrow”). The Close of Escrow shall occur on a date selected by Buyer, subject to the reasonable approval of Seller, but in no event later than the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of Opening of Escrow (“Outside Closing Date”) at the office of Escrow Holder (or such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer), unless otherwise extended (i) by operation of Sections 6.3, 12 or 21 below, (ii) by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2 below, or (iii) by written agreement between Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Closing will occur, if at all, on or before December 30, 2012 and neither party will have the right to extend the Date of Closing beyond such date.
5.2 Extension Option. Notwithstanding Section 5.1 above, Buyer shall have the option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Outside Closing Date for an additional thirty (30) days (“Extended Outside Closing Date”), in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, by providing written notice to Seller of such election prior to the Outside Closing Date and depositing with Escrow Holder an additional sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (“Extension Deposit”) in immediately available funds on or prior to the Outside Closing Date, which Extension Deposit (and any interest thereon) shall be non-refundable except as provided in
6
subsections (z)(i) and (iii) of the sixth sentence of Section 3.1 and subsection (z)(ii) of said sixth sentence only as it relates to a Seller default or as it relates to Section 4.2.3 (it being expressly understood and agreed that any failure of the condition set forth in Section 4.2.7 that occurs after the exercise of the Extension Option is hereby deemed waived by Buyer). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge that this Agreement provides circumstances under which the Initial Deposit and interest thereon are refundable to Buyer and, at the same time, the Extension Deposit and interest thereon are payable to Seller.
6. BUYER’S REVIEW.
6.1 Delivery of Documents. Within five (5) Business Days after the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall, at the sole expense of Seller, deliver to Buyer or, solely with respect to the items that are difficult or costly to copy (due to size or volume), make available to Buyer at the Property, copies (which may be in electronic format) of all documents pertaining to the Membership Interests and the Property that have been prepared by, for or at the request of Seller or are in the possession or control of, or are reasonably available to (without Seller or Property Owner having to create, produce or otherwise obtain any information that does not currently exist), Seller, including, without limitation, the documents listed on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and all organizational documents of Property Owner, including without limitation any operating agreement, articles of organization, membership certificates or other similar documents, all of which are described on Schedule 5 attached hereto (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”, and collectively with the documents listed on Exhibit C, the “Seller Deliveries”). Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the following are in the possession of or control of, or are reasonably available to, Seller and will be provided as required in the previous sentence: monthly operating statements (year-to-date and 1-year historical); year-end financial statements (past 1 year); general ledger (year-to-date and 1-year historical); and copies of all Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1, Section 21.1 or Section 21.2, or on Exhibit “C”, any requirement for delivery of item for a period longer than Property Owner has been in existence instead shall be deemed to require delivery of such item for the lesser of said period or the period of Property Owner's existence. In the event Seller unintentionally fails to deliver to Buyer any of the Seller Deliveries as provided herein and such Seller Deliveries would not have been material to a commercially reasonable public REIT purchaser in a similar transaction (an "Immaterial Disclosure Omission"), Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy will be to either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit if and only if Buyer discovers said failure prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined) or (b) waive said failure and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase Price (whether Buyer discovers said failure before or after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period); it being understood and agreed that if such Immaterial Disclosure Omission is discovered after Closing, Seller shall have no indemnification obligation under Section 8.1.5(ii) with respect thereto.
As used in this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: “Environmental Laws” shall mean all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations now or hereafter in force, as amended from time to time, in any way relating to or regulating human health or safety, or industrial hygiene or environmental conditions, or protection of the environment, or pollution or contamination of the air, soil, surface water or groundwater, and includes the Comprehensive
7
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. § 9601, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901, et seq., the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251, et seq., and the Hazardous Substance Account Act. “Hazardous Substances” shall mean any substance or material that is described as a toxic or hazardous substance waste or material or a pollutant or contaminant, or words of similar import, in any of the Environmental Laws, and includes asbestos, petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel, or any mixture thereof), petroleum products, polychlorinated biphenyls, urea formaldehyde, radon gas, radioactive matter, medical waste, and chemicals which may cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. “Release” shall mean any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into the environment, including continuing migration, of Hazardous Substances into or through soil, surface water or groundwater.
6.2 Access. Commencing upon the execution of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller, Seller shall allow (or cause to be allowed) Buyer or Buyer’s agents, employees, contractors, lenders or representatives access to the Property for purposes of any non-intrusive physical or environmental test, study or inspection of the Property and, to the extent copies are not provided to Buyer by Seller pursuant to Section 6.1, review and copying of Seller’s books and records relating to the Membership Interests and the Property and any of the documents described in Section 6.1 above. Buyer shall also be permitted to review such other matters necessary in the discretion of Buyer to evaluate and analyze the feasibility of the Membership Interests and the Property for Buyer’s intended use thereof (provided, however that Buyer's right to review such other matters shall not be deemed to increase Seller's obligation to provide documents as required under Section 6.1, Section 21.1 or Section 21.1, or access as required under this Section 6.2). Buyer shall not conduct or authorize any physically intrusive testing of, on, or under the Property without first obtaining Seller’s consent as to the timing and scope of work to be performed, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to any entry onto the Property for purposes of inspection or testing (as opposed to solely for review of materials provided under Section 6.1 above), Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence that Buyer maintains liability insurance with coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 and that each of Seller and Property Owner has been named as an additional insured under such insurance.
Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer or Buyer’s representatives may communicate with any governmental authority or quasi-governmental authority for the purpose of gathering information in connection with the Membership Interests, the Property or the Seller, or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer agrees that, until Closing occurs, all of Seller’s Deliveries will be kept confidential by Buyer and its affiliates except for Permitted Disclosures (as hereinafter defined); provided that Buyer and its affiliates may disclose information from Seller’s Deliveries to their respective employees, agents, representatives, accountants, attorneys, consultants or contractors in connection with its evaluation of the Property and Membership Interest and to any bank or lending institution (or underwriter or servicer therefor) that Buyer requests to provide financing for the Property or the Membership Interests, so long as Buyer informs the person to whom the disclosure is made of the confidential nature of such information and of Buyer's obligations in that respect under this Agreement and directs the person to whom the disclosure is made to treat such information confidentially and not to disclose such information to any person other than as
8
authorized by this Section 6.2. Seller hereby expressly recognizes the need to disclose, and agrees to the disclosure of, certain aspects of this transaction to Buyer's (or Buyer's affiliate's) employees, agents, representatives, accountants, attorneys, consultants or contractors in connection with its evaluation of the Property and Membership Interest and to any bank or other lending institution (or underwriter or servicer therefor) that Buyer requests to provide financing for the Property or the Membership Interests. Buyer is not responsible for the actions of third parties as to the disclosure of confidential information, except with respect to its obligation in this paragraph to inform such persons of the confidentiality of such information. Except as provided in the preceding sentences of this paragraph, the existence and contents of this Agreement and the negotiations of parties with respect to the possible sale and purchase of the Membership Interests shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third parties without the consent of both parties hereto, except for any disclosure (i) that may be required by law to be made to any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or any other person or entity, or (ii) of information otherwise in the public domain (the "Permitted Disclosures"). From and after Closing, either party may issue a press release describing the transaction, provided that neither of Seller or Buyer may include the identity of the other party in such press release unless such press release is approved in writing in advance by the other party.
6.3 Title and Survey.
6.3.1 Within five (5) Business Days after the Opening of Escrow (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary provided Seller has promptly requested such Title Commitment and is diligently attempting to timely obtain it), Seller shall cause Title Company to issue to Buyer a current commitment for an owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price on an ALTA 2006 form (“Title Commitment”) together with copies of all documents of record reflected therein as exceptions to title at Seller’s sole cost and expense (as provided in Section 11 below). Buyer shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Title Commitment (“Title Objection Period”) in which to notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer has, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to any matters shown on the Title Commitment (“Title Objection Notice”). All objections raised by Buyer in the manner herein provided are hereafter called “Objections.” Subject to the limitations set forth in the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.3.1, Seller may elect, but will not be obligated, to remedy or remove all Objections (or agree irrevocably in writing to remedy or remove all such Objections at or prior to Closing) within fifteen (15) days following Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Cure Period”). In the event Seller is unable to remedy or cause the removal of any Objections (or agree irrevocably to do so at or prior to Closing) within Seller’s Cure Period, then Buyer, within ten (10) days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period, shall deliver to Seller written notice electing, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) unconditionally waive any such Objections, failing which Buyer shall conclusively be deemed to have elected (i) above. Any new title or survey information received by Seller or Buyer after the expiration of the Title Objection Period or Seller’s Cure Period, as applicable, from a supplemental title report, survey or other source which is not the result of the acts or omissions of Buyer or its agents, contractors or invitees (each, a “New Title Matter”) shall be subject to the same procedure provided in this Section 6.3 (and the Date of Closing shall be extended commensurately if the Closing would have occurred but for those procedures being implemented for a New Title Matter), except that the Buyer’s Title Objection
9
Period and Seller’s Cure Period for any New Title Matters shall be five (5) Business Days each. Close of Escrow shall be delayed as needed to accommodate such additional time periods. Seller hereby agrees to remove at or prior to Closing (i) financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller or Property Owner, such that Seller shall deliver the Membership Interests and the Property free and clear of any such financing liens, and (ii) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller or Property Owner after the date hereof without Buyer’s consent. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the specific exceptions (excluding exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that Title Company is not permitted to remove; other exceptions to which Buyer has not raised an Objection as provided herein or has subsequently waived such Objection in writing and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Due Diligence Period; real estate taxes not yet due and payable; and rights of tenants (as tenants only) under the Leases.
6.3.2 Within five (5) Business Days after the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of any existing survey of the Property in Seller’s possession or control. Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re-certify an existing survey of the Property as necessary in order for the title department of Title Company to delete the survey exception from title or to otherwise satisfy Buyer’s objectives.
6.4 Buyer’s Due Diligence. Subject to Section 21 below, Buyer shall have twenty-five (25) Business Days from and after the later to occur of (i) the Opening of Escrow and (ii) the date of delivery by Seller to Buyer of the Seller's Deliveries, the Title Commitment and related recorded exception documents, and any existing survey (“Due Diligence Period”) to evaluate and analyze the feasibility of the Membership Interests and the Property for Buyer’s intended use thereof, including, without limitation, the zoning of the Property, the physical, environmental and geotechnical condition of the Property and the economic feasibility of owning the Membership Interests and operating the Property. If, during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer determines that the Membership Interests or the Property are not acceptable for any reason whatsoever in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, Buyer shall have the right, by giving written notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless and defend Seller from and against any claims, liabilities, liens, cause of action, expenses, costs, or damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and personal injury claims) resulting from the inspection of the Property prior to the Closing Date by Buyer or Buyer’s contractors, employees, representatives, or agents; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be responsible for any losses or expenses resulting from the discovery of adverse information regarding the Membership Interests or the Property. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer shall restore the Property to the extent of any physical change or damage made as a result of the conduct of any inspection or investigation of the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s agents, representatives or contractors to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to Buyer’s inspection and investigation. Any provision to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the provisions of the previous two sentences shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason for a period of three (3) months and control over any provisions to the contrary herein.
10
6.5 Buyer’s Termination Right. If Buyer exercises the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 6.3 (including without limitation for any New Title Matter) or 6.4 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date the termination notice is given by Buyer (except as to such matters that are expressly specified to survive the termination of this Agreement), and Escrow Holder shall return the Deposit to Buyer. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 6.3 or Section 6.4 hereof, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Deposit shall become non-refundable except as provided in Section 3.1 above.
6.6 Contracts. On or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing as to which of the Contracts Buyer elects to have continue after Closing, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. For those Contract(s) which Buyer has not agreed to have continue after Closing, Property Owner, to the extent acceptable to it in its sole and absolute discretion, shall notify the vendors under such Contracts of Property Owner’s election to exercise its termination rights under such Contracts, if any.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
7.1 Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller in this Section 7.1 are a material inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement. Buyer would not purchase the Membership Interests without such representations and warranties of Seller. Such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for one (1) year. Seller represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as follows:
7.1.1 Each Seller is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Ohio and is in full force and effect under the laws of the State of Ohio. Each Seller has requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform this Agreement, including, without limitation, all right, power and authority to assign, deliver and transfer the Membership Interests as provided by this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Seller has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller and all required consents and approvals have been duly obtained. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms. There is no agreement to which each Seller or Property Owner is a party or, to Seller’s knowledge, that is binding on either Seller or Property Owner which is in conflict with this Agreement. At Closing, Seller will convey good and valid title to the Membership Interests to Buyer.
7.1.2 Each Seller is the record and beneficial owner of its respective Membership Interests. As of Closing, each Seller will own its Membership Interests free and clear of any right, claim, lien, encumbrance, pledge or hypothecation thereof or interest in favor of any other person. Neither Seller has granted to any person other than Buyer (or to Seller under the Organizational Documents, all of which shall be waived as of the Closing Date) any options, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or any other agreement of any kind to purchase or otherwise acquire all or any portion of its Membership Interests. Except for the Organizational Documents, Property Owner is not a party to, and no Seller is a party to, any voting agreement, voting trusts,
11
proxies or any other agreements, instruments or understandings with respect to the voting of any of the Membership Interests, or any agreements with respect to the transferability of any of the Membership Interests. The Membership Interests represent all of the rights, titles and interests Property Owner. There are no subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights or other agreements of any kind to purchase or otherwise acquire or sell any membership or other ownership interest in Property Owner. Property Owner has no subsidiaries.
7.1.3 The Organizational Documents (i) constitute all of the governing documents of Property Owner, and (ii) have not been amended or otherwise modified except as described on Schedule 5. Seller has delivered to Buyer on or prior to the date hereof true, correct and complete copies of the financial statements for Property Owner for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2012, which financial statements present all material assets and liabilities of Property Owner as of the dates thereof (the “Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) have been prepared on a cash basis and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of Property Owner for such periods. Property Owner has no material liabilities (including contingent or potential liabilities) and will have no material liabilities on the Closing Date not set forth on Schedule 6 attached hereto (the “Statement of Liabilities”) except for (i) liabilities reflected in the Financial Statements or (ii) commercially reasonable arm's length liabilities to third parties that have arisen after the date of the Financial Statements in the ordinary course of business. There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Property Owner as reflected in the Financial Statements since the date of the Financial Statements.
7.1.4 All federal, state and other applicable tax returns required to be filed by or with respect to Property Owner have been filed and all taxes that are due and payable by Property Owner have been paid. No deficiencies for federal, state or other applicable taxes have been claimed or assessed in writing against Property Owner by any governmental authority. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened audits, investigations or claims for or relating to any liability in respect of federal, state or other applicable taxes, and there are no matters under discussion between Property Owner, Seller or any affiliate of Seller and any governmental authorities with respect to federal, state or other applicable taxes that would reasonably be expected to result in an assessment of federal, state or other applicable taxes against Property Owner. Complete copies of all federal income tax schedules and reports relating to Property Owner and all written reports received by Seller or Property Owner from any applicable governmental authority relating to examinations thereof have been (or will be as provided herein) delivered to Buyer. Neither Seller, nor to its knowledge, any other party has taken any action, or failed to take any action, that would cause Property Owner to be taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes.
7.1.5 There are no outstanding debts or liabilities between Property Owner and Seller or affiliates of Seller. Neither Seller nor any affiliate of Seller will have a contract, agreement or obligation to provide, or to cause to be provided, to Property Owner any products, services, equipment, facilities, or similar items after Closing, or any other agreement with Property Owner that will survive Closing.
12
7.1.6 Property Owner is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Ohio and is in full force and effect under the laws of the State of Ohio.

All of the Personal Property is located at the Real Property. Except for the liens granted to Lenders (as hereinafter defined), which Seller shall cause to be removed from title at or before Closing pursuant to subsection 7.1.19 below, Property Owner has good title to the Personal Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests and adverse claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, except for liens for taxes, assessments, reassessments and other charges of governmental authorities not yet due and payable (“Permitted Liens”).
7.1.8 All of the Leases are described in Schedule 1 attached hereto, and there are no persons leasing, using or occupying the Real Property or any part thereof except the tenants under the Leases.

With respect to any reports prepared by third parties delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, such reports have been provided in good faith but without any representation or warranty as to the accuracy thereof except as provided in the previous sentence and that Seller (without any investigation or inquiry) has no reason to believe such reports to be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. With respect to any operating statements delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1, such operating statements are those that Seller and/or Property Owner relies upon for internal administration and accounting purposes and Seller has no reason to be them to be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect; provided, however, that Seller does
13
not represent or warrant to Buyer that Buyer will be able to, or should be able to, operate the Property with similar results to those set forth in said operating statements.
7.1.9 Except as disclosed to Buyer, to the knowledge of Seller, the Leases are in full force and effect and the full current rent is accruing thereunder. The Leases have not been amended or modified except as disclosed in writing to Buyer. No monthly rent has been paid more than one (1) month in advance (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of the Lease) and no security deposit or prepaid rent has been paid except as otherwise set forth in the rent roll delivered to Buyer. No tenant under the Leases is entitled to interest on any security deposit. The tenants, to Seller’s knowledge, have accepted possession of their respective premises under the Leases and all improvements and construction required to be performed by the landlord under the Leases have been completed in all material respects. Except as set forth on the rent roll delivered to Buyer, to the knowledge of Seller, there is no existing breach or default by the landlord or by any tenant under the Leases and, to Seller’s knowledge, the tenants have no defenses, claims or demands against the landlord, under the Leases or otherwise, which can be offset against rents or other charges due or to become due under the Leases. To Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred or condition exists which, with or without notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach or a default by the landlord or by any tenant under the Leases. To Seller’s knowledge, Seller has received no written notice from any tenant under the Leases claiming any breach or default by Seller under any of the Leases. To the knowledge of Seller, no money is owed to any tenant for improvements or otherwise under the Leases (other than security deposits that may need to be returned to tenants) and no improvement, moving, relocation or other payment or credit of any kind is presently owed to any tenant under the Leases or is payable in the future under the Leases as such Leases are in effect as of the date hereof and on the Closing Date.

No written claim, demand, action or proceeding of any kind relating to any past or present Release of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Real Property or any past or present violation of any Environmental Laws at the Real Property has been made or commenced, or is pending, or to Seller’s knowledge is being threatened or contemplated by any person.

9. ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.
9.1 Generally. All taxes (including, without limitation, real estate taxes and personal property taxes), collected rents, laundry income, parking income, furniture rental, charges for utilities (including water, sewer, and fuel oil) and for utility services, maintenance services, maintenance and service contracts, all operating costs and expenses, and all other income, costs, and charges of every kind which in any manner relate to the operation of the Property (but not including insurance premiums) shall be prorated as of 11:59 pm the day prior to the Date of Closing. If the amount of said taxes, assessments, rents, income, costs, charges, etc. is not known at such time, they shall be apportioned on the basis of the amounts for the preceding year, with a reapportionment as soon as reasonably practical after the new amounts can be ascertained (which is expected to be in December 2012 upon receipt of the regularly scheduled tax xxxx, which tax xxxx shall be deemed to be final notwithstanding any appeal thereof by Buyer); provided, however, (i) the prorated amount for Seller's portion of the real estate taxes paid at Closing shall be Two Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($200,000) and shall be re-apportioned based upon receipt of said December 2012 tax xxxx, with Buyer paying to Seller, or Seller paying to Buyer, as applicable, the difference between said $200,000 and the actual amount that would have been paid if said December 2012 tax xxxx had been received prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) to the extent that the Property is re-assessed for real estate tax purposes solely as a result of the acquisition by Buyer of the Membership Interests as provided in this Agreement, then Buyer shall be responsible for 100% of such re-assessment even if such re-assessment increased the taxes payable with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date. On the Date of Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all inventories of supplies on hand at the Property owned by Seller or Property Owner, if any, at no additional cost to Buyer. All cash that Property Owner has on-hand as of 11:59 pm the day prior to the Closing Date will be paid to Seller at the Closing. Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Buyer; it being understood that Seller will have no responsibility for maintaining any insurance policies with respect to the Property and Property Owner for any period from and after the Closing.
9.2 Rental Income. Rental income from the Property shall be prorated as of 11:59 pm the day prior to the Closing Date. Non-delinquent rents shall be prorated as of 11:59 pm the day prior to the Closing Date. Rents delinquent as of such time, but collected later, shall be prorated as of 11:59 pm the day prior to the Closing Date when collected. Rents collected after the Closing Date from tenants whose rental was delinquent at the Closing Date shall be deemed to apply first to the current rental due at the time of payment and second to rentals which were delinquent at the Closing Date. Rents collected after the Closing Date to which Seller is entitled shall be promptly paid to Seller. For a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect all rents which are delinquent as of the Closing Date with no obligation to incur any expenses or commence litigation to collect such rents. Commencing as of sixty one (61) days after the Closing Date, Seller may use reasonable efforts, including litigation, to collect any rents delinquent as of the Closing Date which are still uncollected; provided, however, in exercising its remedies against tenants as outlined in this Section, Seller shall not evict any tenant of the Property or otherwise unreasonably interfere with Buyer’s or Property Owner's operation of the Property. With respect to security deposits, if any, that have not been applied to defaults pursuant to the terms of the Leases, Buyer shall receive credit therefor at Closing. Any leasing commissions
22
with respect to the Leases shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, and shall be paid or discharged fully at or prior to Closing.
9.3 Proration Period. If any of the items subject to proration hereunder cannot be prorated because the information necessary to compute such proration is unavailable, or if any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Close of Escrow are discovered subsequent to the Close of Escrow, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Close of Escrow and the proper party reimbursed.
9.4 Rent Ready. Not more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Closing Date, a representative of Buyer and a representative of Seller shall conduct an onsite walk-through of the then unoccupied rental units on the Property to determine whether any of such unoccupied rental units are in “rent ready” condition. With respect to any rental unit which is vacated on or before five (5) days prior to Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (i) make such unoccupied rental unit into a “rent ready” condition, or (ii) provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price due at Closing in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per such unoccupied rental unit. With respect to any rental unit that is vacated later than five (5) days prior to Closing, Seller shall have no responsibility or liability to put such unoccupied rental unit into a “rent ready” condition, and Seller shall not have to compensate Buyer if such unit is not “rent ready” as of the Closing Date. “Rent ready” condition shall mean the Property Owner's current practice of placing units in “rent ready” condition.
