3.2    Deposit. Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit into an escrow with Escrow Agent Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (together with all interest accrued thereon, the “Initial Deposit”).

3.4    Additional Consideration. Buyer agrees that it shall expend significant time and material sums of money in connection with negotiating and executing this Agreement, conducting its due diligence investigations, and preparing for the Closing, all in reliance on Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement. Further, Sellers acknowledge that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement without having the opportunity to perform such investigations and without having the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 of this Agreement. Accordingly, separate consideration exists to support Sellers’ obligations hereunder notwithstanding Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 of this Agreement.

3.5    Allocation of Purchase Price.

Upon reaching an agreement on the Allocated Purchase Price, Buyer and Sellers shall (i) cooperate in Sellers’ filing of any forms with respect to the Allocated Purchase Price as finally resolved, including any amendments to such forms required pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any adjustment to the Purchase Price and (ii) cooperate in Sellers’ filing of all of its federal, state and local tax returns and related tax documents consistent with such Allocated Purchase Price as the same may be adjusted pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate Buyer to agree, whether prospectively or retrospectively, to a purchase price allocation that is inconsistent with its accounting policies, GAAP or other financial reporting requirements.

3.6    Independent Consideration. Upon execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall wire to Sellers One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) as independent consideration for this Agreement (the “Independent Consideration”).

All of Buyer’s claims for Liabilities arising under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Sellers’ breach of representations, warranties or covenants contained herein) shall be made against the Escrow Funds under the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall be for a term of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. On the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date (the “First Release Date”), one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Funds shall be released to Sellers, less (a) the amount of any disbursements made to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and (b) any outstanding unresolved claims that were made by Buyer against Sellers pursuant to this Agreement prior to the First Release Date; provided, however, (i) no such release shall cause the Escrow Funds on deposit with escrow to be less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), and (ii) if the Escrow Funds on deposit with escrow as of the First Release Date

5.    Title Matters.

5.1    Preliminary Title Report; Survey. If not previously delivered to Buyer, Sellers shall request that Title Company promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of a preliminary title report or commitment for title insurance (each a “Preliminary Title Report”, and collectively, the “Preliminary Title Reports”) covering each Property from Title Company. In addition, Sellers shall (if not previously delivered) deliver to Buyer a copy of the most recent existing survey (if any) in Sellers’ possession relating to each Property (if any, each, a “Survey” and collectively, the “Surveys”). If Buyer determines that any matter set forth in the Preliminary Title Reports or Surveys is unacceptable, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, and Sellers and Buyer shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for the provisions hereof that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the previous sentence, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the Preliminary Title Reports and Surveys.

5.2    Exceptions to Title. With respect to each Property, Buyer shall be obligated to accept title, subject to the following exceptions (the “Permitted Exceptions”):

5.2.1    Real estate taxes and assessments not yet delinquent;

5.2.2    The applicable New Management Agreement; and

5.2.3    Such other exceptions to title or survey exceptions for such Property as are included in the Preliminary Title Report or by the Title Company as a result of matters on the Survey, or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, or any exceptions resulting from the acts of Buyer or its agents or representatives.

If Buyer disapproves any lien or other matter reflected in the Preliminary Title Reports, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Sellers on or prior to that date which is ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period identifying with specificity such disapproved title matters (“Buyer’s Title Objection Notice”). Sellers shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such Buyer’s Title Objection Notice in which to advise Buyer whether or not they are prepared to cure the same prior to the Closing Date (which cure may be effected by payment and discharge of the objectionable item or by causing the Title Company to remove the same as an exception or affirmatively insure over such item). Failure by Sellers to respond within such five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed Sellers’ election to not to cure any matters set forth in Buyer’s Title Objection Notice. In the event Sellers elect (or are deemed to have elected) not to cure any matters set forth in Buyer’s Title Objection Notice, Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in which to advise Sellers in writing of Buyer’s election (a) to waive the matters to which Buyer objected and which Sellers have elected (or are deemed to have elected) not to cure and to proceed to Closing or (b) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. In the event that this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 6.4 below, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph. Except for the Permitted Exceptions, Sellers shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, all mortgages and deeds of trust recorded against the Properties and (ii) satisfy or remove (or cause to be satisfied or removed) all mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens claimed against any Property arising from work performed prior to Closing; provided, however, that Sellers’ obligations pursuant to this sentence shall not apply to any Liens arising out of acts or omissions taken by or on behalf of Buyer.

Buyer shall review title to the Properties by obtaining prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period the commitment of Title Company to issue to Buyer on the Closing Date the Title Policy for each Property. If Buyer desires to obtain coverage over survey matters in the Title Policy for any Property, Buyer shall deliver to the Title Company prior to the Closing Date a current ALTA survey for such Property certified by a licensed surveyor in the State of Utah sufficient to permit or cause the Title Company to insure against survey matters at the Closing.

5.3    Endorsements to Title Policy. It is understood that Buyer may request a number of endorsements to the Title Policies. The issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing.

6.2    Inspection of the Properties. Upon forty-eight (48) hours advance notice to Sellers, Buyer shall have the right to perform such examinations, tests, investigations and studies of the Properties (the “Inspections”) as Buyer reasonably deems advisable in its sole discretion, and at its sole cost and expense, in accordance with this Section 6.2, including, without limitation, an inspection of the books and records of each Seller relating to the operation of the applicable Property other than Excluded Materials.

sole discretion; (iii) the Inspections shall be conducted by Buyer’s Inspectors on a Business Day between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Real Property); (iv) Buyer’s right to perform the Inspections shall be subject to any rights of residents, and restrictions in the Resident Agreements, the Leases, and the Existing Management Agreements; and (v) the Inspections shall not unreasonably disrupt or disturb the operation of the business at the Projects or the rights of tenants or residents at the Projects and Buyer’s Inspectors shall comply with reasonable requests with respect to the Inspections to minimize such disruption or disturbance. In the course of its Inspections, Buyer may make inquiries to Manager and other Persons, including, without limitation, representatives, contractors, property managers, leasing agents, parties to Leases, Equipment Agreements or Operating Agreements and municipal, local and other government officials and representatives in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Sellers hereby consent to such inquiries.

6.2.1    Repair List. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and Sellers will reasonably cooperate and use good faith efforts to jointly inspect each Property and agree prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period on a list of property condition issues to be addressed by each Seller at the applicable Property (such lists, the “Repair Lists,” and each of the issues on each Repair List, an “Agreed Repair Item”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the aggregate costs to be incurred by the Sellers in order to remedy or resolve all of the Agreed Repair Items exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) for each Property (the “Seller Repair Cost Cap”), it being acknowledged and agreed that no Seller shall be obligated to make any repair or perform any work with respect to any Property (and no such work or repair shall constitute an Agreed Repair Item) on account of any issues discovered by Buyer during its inspections to the extent such repair or work is not an Agreed Repair Item or would result in the aggregate costs and expenses incurred by such Seller pursuant to this Section 6.2.1 to exceed the Seller Repair Cost Cap and (ii) any Seller be obligated to perform any work or repair (and no such work or repair shall constitute an Agreed Repair Item) if such work or repair is contemplated by the capital expenditure budget provided by Sellers to Buyer with respect to the applicable Property. Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Agreed Repair Items to be substantially completed prior to Closing. Not more than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, Buyer and Sellers shall hold a final walkthrough of the Properties to confirm substantial completion of each Agreed Repair Item. If any of the Agreed Repair Items are not completed by the Closing Date, then the Parties shall proceed to Closing provided that the Manager shall, under the terms of the applicable New Management Agreement(s), expressly assume the obligation to complete such Agreed Repair Items which are not completed on or prior to the Closing Date, at its sole cost, promptly following the Closing Date.

6.3    Review Standards. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts at all times to conduct its due diligence reviews, inspections and examinations in a manner so as to not cause Liability to any Seller or any Property, or create any Lien on any Property, and so as to not unreasonably interfere with or disturb any tenant or any Seller’s operation of the applicable Property, and Buyer will indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Sellers), and hold Sellers and the Properties harmless from and against any such Liability or Lien (including any such Liability or Lien caused by Buyer’s employees, agents, advisors, partners, independent contractors, members, direct and indirect owners, officers, directors, clients and representatives,

but excluding any Liability or Lien suffered by any Seller or any Property as a result of the mere discovery of an existing condition at such Property that is not exacerbated by Buyer or any of its employees, agents, advisors, partners, independent contractors, members, direct and indirect owners, officers, directors, clients and representatives). Buyer shall maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy (containing a waiver of subrogation) to cover Buyer’s activities on the Properties pursuant to this Section 6.3 in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate.

In the event of any termination hereunder, Buyer shall return all documents and other materials furnished by Sellers hereunder and shall provide Seller with copies of all third party reports (other than Excluded Materials) obtained by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In connection with any permitted testing, sampling or other work performed hereunder, Buyer shall promptly dispose of (or cause to be disposed of) at its sole cost in accordance with all applicable Laws any waste, samples or other materials generated or removed by Buyer or by its agents or contractors arising from or in connection with the investigations, samplings or testing hereunder and shall restore the Properties to its prior condition promptly following completion of any such Inspection, except to the extent caused by any Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 6.3 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

6.4    Due Diligence Approval. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may in its sole and absolute discretion, either (a) terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason by delivery of a Disapproval Notice or (b) approve the purchase of the Properties, following Buyer’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of the Properties, by written notice to Sellers (such notice being herein called the “Approval Notice”). In the event that Buyer delivers an Approval Notice to Sellers, Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.4. In the event that Buyer fails to deliver the Approval Notice to Sellers before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. In the event that Buyer delivers a Disapproval Notice or is deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.4, (i) the Initial Deposit, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and (ii) this Agreement, and the obligations of the Parties hereunder, shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement). In the event of termination, Sellers shall retain the Independent Consideration.

6.5    Form of Management Agreement. During the Due Diligence Period, Manager and Buyer shall use good faith efforts to negotiate the form of a management agreement (the “Form of New Management Agreement”) pursuant to which Manager will continue to operate each Property after Closing, which Form of New Management Agreement will then be duplicated to create the new management agreement for each Property (each, a “New Management Agreement”) in substantially the form of the Form of New Management Agreement. Sellers and Buyer acknowledge and agree that each of the New Management Agreements for the respective Properties shall be executed by the Manager and Buyer’s designee for each Property.

Management Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate concurrent with the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement (except for those rights and obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms) and the Deposit (or portion thereof that has previously been delivered to Escrow Holder) shall be returned to Buyer.

If, at or any time prior to Closing, any Seller fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, which breach or default is not caused by a Buyer Default and such failure remains uncured as of the Closing Date (a “Seller Default”), then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedies for such Seller Default, may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case (A) Deposit (or in the event of a Seller Default prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Initial Deposit), together with any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and (B) Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (ii) proceed to Closing, in which case Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Seller Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Closing does not occur due to a Seller Default under this Agreement, then Buyer shall be entitled to commence appropriate legal proceedings seeking to enforce each Seller’s obligation to convey the applicable Property through specific performance. The provisions of this 13.1 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

13.2    Default by Buyer. IN THE EVENT CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR AS HEREIN PROVIDED BY REASON OF ANY MATERIAL DEFAULT OF BUYER FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD AND SUCH DEFAULT REMAINS UNCURED AS OF THE CLOSING DATE (A “BUYER DEFAULT”), BUYER AND SELLERS AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE BUYER AND SELLERS DO HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLERS WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER MATERIALLY DEFAULTS FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTIES IS AND SHALL BE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH THE ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON; AND, AS SELLERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), SAID AMOUNT SHALL BE DISBURSED TO SELLERS AS THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY

BUYER FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WHICH RESULTS IN CLOSING NOT OCCURRING, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF BUYER’S MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLERS. SUCH PAYMENT OF THE DEPOSIT IS NOT INTENDED AS A PENALTY, BUT AS FULL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT ANY SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS AND EXPENSES PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.11 BELOW, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT BUYER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY THEIR SEPARATELY INITIALING THIS SECTION 13.2 BELOW, BUYER AND EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ABOVE PROVISION COVERING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.2 SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

14.2    Limitation of Liability.

14.2.1    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the direct and indirect shareholders, partners, members, trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders of the Parties are not assuming any, and shall have no, personal Liability for any obligations of the Parties hereto under this Agreement.

14.2.2    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing of the transactions hereunder shall have occurred, no Seller shall have Liability to Buyer (and Buyer shall make no claim against any Seller) for a breach of any representation or warranty or any other covenant, agreement or obligation of any Seller, or for indemnification, under this Agreement or any document executed by any Seller in connection with this Agreement, unless (a) the valid claims for all such breaches and indemnifications collectively aggregate to more than Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (in which case Buyer shall be entitled to recover all amounts below such “floor”), and (b) the aggregate Liability of Sellers under this Agreement and such documents shall not exceed, in the aggregate, two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price. In no event shall any Seller be liable for any consequential or punitive damages. In connection with any action alleging a breach of any warranty or covenant of title in the Deed, Buyer agrees that it shall in good faith pursue the Title Company under its Title Policy(ies) with respect to such claim prior to bringing an action against any Seller.

14.2.3    The limitations of Liability contained in this Section 14.2 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation on Liability provided elsewhere in this Agreement or by Law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument.

14.3    Exhibits; Entire Agreement; Modification. All exhibits attached and referred to in this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth in (and shall be deemed to be a part of) this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties hereto respecting such matters. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement signed by both Parties.

14.4    Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. However, whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non-Business Day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the immediately following Business Day. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, (a) all references to time in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to local time at the Real Property, and (b) all time periods provided for under this Agreement shall expire at 5:00 p.m. local time at the Real Property.

14.5    Interpretation. Section headings shall not be used in construing this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that such Party and its counsel, after negotiation and consultation, have reviewed and revised this Agreement. As such, the terms of this Agreement shall be fairly construed and the usual rule of construction, to the effect that any ambiguities herein should be resolved against the drafting Party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or exhibits hereto or thereto. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “hereby”, “this Agreement” and other similar references shall be construed to mean and include this Agreement and all amendments and supplements hereto

14.8    Successors and Assigns. Except as set forth in Section 2.11, Buyer may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement either directly or indirectly (whether by outright transfer, transfer of ownership interests or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Sellers. In the event of any assignment or transfer by Buyer that is consented to by Sellers, such transferor shall not be released from its obligations hereunder. No consent given by Sellers to any transfer or assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be construed as a consent to any other transfer or assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations hereunder. No transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parties.

14.11    Legal Costs. The Parties hereto agree that they shall pay directly any and all legal costs which they have incurred or shall incur on their own behalf in the preparation of this Agreement, all deeds and other agreements pertaining to this transaction and that such legal costs shall not be part of the closing costs. In addition, if either Buyer or any Seller brings any suit or other proceeding, including an arbitration proceeding, with respect to the subject matter or the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing Party(ies) (as determined by the court, agency, arbitrator or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced), in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation actually incurred. The foregoing includes attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation (including those incurred in appellate proceedings), costs incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, or in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq.), or any successor statutes.

14.12    Further Assurances. Each Party shall, whenever and as often as it shall be requested so to do by another Party, cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or proper, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting Party, in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement (provided the same do not increase in any material respect the costs to, or liabilities or obligations of, such Party in a manner not otherwise provided for herein).

14.13    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

14.14    Press Releases. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 14.17 below, no press release or other public disclosure regarding the terms of this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby shall be made without the prior written consent of Buyer and Sellers. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 14.17 below, without limitation on the foregoing, each of Buyer and Sellers shall use diligent efforts not to make any public disclosure of the Purchase Price. However, any Party shall have the right to make public disclosures required by (1) Law (but only if such Party gives the other Parties reasonable notice and an opportunity to retain a restraining order or take other similar protective actions) or (2) the rules and regulations of the SEC.

14.15    Tax Appeal Proceedings.

14.15.1    Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Property, relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of the Closing, Sellers reserve and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Property, relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then Sellers reserve and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and settle the same; provided, however, that Sellers shall not settle any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.

14.15.2    Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to taxes payable during the period prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Sellers, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to taxes payable from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any tenants under any Lease for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in such Lease to such tenant) shall, at Sellers’ election, either (a) be paid to Buyer and Buyer shall disburse the same to such tenants or (b) be paid by Sellers directly to the tenants entitled thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Sellers and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Sellers and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to tenants); provided, however, that neither Sellers nor Buyer shall have any Liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such Party unless such Party initiated such proceeding.

14.15.3    Tax Regulatory Agreements. Buyer and each Seller shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the materials required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to those certain Tax Regulatory Agreements, dated December 1, 2004, with the City of St. George, Utah (the “City”) and U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”), as amended and supplemented, which have been recorded in the County Recorder’s office, with respect to the Projects owned by Cottonwood MSL and Wellington MSL (the “Tax Regulatory Agreements”). Buyer and Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Tax Regulatory Agreements terminated by an instrument in writing duly executed by the City, US Bank and Cottonwood MSL or Wellington MSL, as applicable, pursuant to Section 8 of each Tax Regulatory Agreement, provided, however, that (i) the termination of the Tax Regulatory Agreements shall not be a condition to Closing and (ii) a failure to cause the Tax Regulatory Agreements to be terminated shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Sellers or otherwise give rise to a right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement or pursue any other remedies against Sellers. In the event the Parties are unable to cause the Tax Regulatory Agreements to be terminated, each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses associated with any notices, legal opinions or other deliverables required by the Tax Regulatory Agreements; provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers (collectively) shall each be responsible for fifty percent of all costs and expenses (i) associated with obtaining any legal opinions required from counsel to the transferee pursuant to the Tax Regulatory Agreements, (ii) of bond counsel in connection with any legal opinion required from bond counsel pursuant to the Tax Regulatory Agreements, and (iii) charged by the City or US Bank pursuant to the Tax Regulatory Agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14.16    Acceptance of Deed. The acceptance of each Deed by Buyer shall be deemed full compliance by Sellers of all of Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement except for those obligations of Sellers which are specifically stated to survive the Closing hereunder.

14.17    Confidentiality. The terms of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Price and all other financial terms, shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed by any Party hereto without the written consent of the others except (i) to such Party’s directors, officers, partners, employees, legal counsel, accountants, lenders, engineers, architects, brokers, financial advisors and similar professionals and consultants, to the extent such Party deems it necessary or appropriate in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder (and such Party shall inform each of the foregoing parties of such Party’s obligations under this Section and shall be liable for any breach of this Section 14.17 by any of such parties), or (ii) as otherwise required by Law or regulation (including the rules and regulations of a securities exchange). Unless and until the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall close, Buyer shall also keep confidential all documents, reports and information concerning the Properties obtained from Sellers or through the due diligence investigation of the Properties by Buyer or its agents, except to the extent permitted by clauses (i) or (ii) above. Buyer shall not use any information provided by any Seller concerning any of the Properties for any purpose, except in connection with the proposed acquisition.

14.18    Counterparts; Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document. The delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or as a PDF or similar attachment to an e-mail shall constitute effective delivery of such counterpart for all purposes with the same force and effect as the delivery of an original, executed counterpart.

14.19    Tax Deferred Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 14.19, Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate with the other in effecting a simultaneous or delayed like-kind exchange of real property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code and similar provisions of applicable state law provided that: (i) the cooperating party shall incur no additional costs, expenses or liabilities as a result of, or in connection with, the exchange; (ii) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of the exchange but shall occur within the time period contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) all representations and warranties of the requesting party contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no exchange has occurred; (iv) neither party shall have any obligation to act as an exchanging party and shall not be obligated to take title to any exchange property; and (v) the cooperating party shall not incur any liability whatsoever to any party as a result of such party’s involvement in the exchange. Neither party is making any representation that any exchange contemplated by this Section 14.19 shall qualify as an exchange within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code or any provisions of applicable state law.
