2.2.            Purchase Price and Deposit

.  The total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for all of the Properties shall be $176,800,000.00, which shall be paid by Purchaser.  The Base Purchase Price for each Property is set forth in the Seller Information Schedule, subject to Purchaser’s right to reallocate pursuant to Section 2.2.6.  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

2.2.1.      Deposit

.  Not later than 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time on September 29, 2008 (the “Outside Date”), Purchaser shall deliver directly to Seller’s Representative a deposit (the “Deposit”) of Seventeen Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($17,700,000.00), by wire transfer of immediately available funds (“Good Funds”).  The Deposit shall be retained by Sellers and shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  The Deposit shall be allocated among the Sellers of the Properties as listed on the Seller Information Schedule. 

2.2.2.      Return on Deposit

.  At the Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to a fixed rate of eight percent (8%) annualized return calculated on a 365-day year on the Deposit (the “Return on Deposit”) from the date the Deposit is made pursuant to Section 2.2.1 to the Closing Date.  As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, assuming that the Deposit is made on September 29, 2008 and the Closing occurs for all of the Properties on October 21, 2008, this credit is calculated to be $85,314.95.

2.2.3.      Assumption of Assumption Property Loans

.  At the Closing, subject to Purchaser’s obligations under ARTICLE 5, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Base Purchase Price of each of the Assumption Properties in the amount of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon, of the applicable Assumed Loan as of the Closing Date.  To the extent permitted by the applicable Assumption Lender, any existing reserves, impounds or other accounts maintained in connection with any Assumed Loan shall remain in place, and Purchaser shall provide the applicable Seller with a credit in the amount thereof at the Closing.

2.2.4.      Balance of Purchase Price

2.2.5.      Allocation of Base Purchase Prices

.  The allocations of Base Purchase Prices for each Property set forth on the Seller Information Schedule have been established by Purchaser, and Sellers have not, in any way, influenced such allocations among the Properties.  Sellers agree and acknowledge that the allocation of the Base Purchase Prices among the Properties is a matter of strict confidence.  Sellers shall not disclose the allocation of Base Purchase Prices among the Properties except to Sellers’ accountants, attorneys, Escrow Agent, or such other parties Sellers deem necessary in their reasonable discretion, and as otherwise required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any contrary provision set forth herein, at anytime prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (subject only to the reasonable objection of Sellers), reallocate the Base Purchase Prices for each Property that is 100% AIMCO Properties, L.P.-owned by written notice to Sellers, which notice shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement and shall be deemed to be a part hereof without any further action of Sellers (assuming Sellers have not reasonably objected to such reallocation).

.  Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or any other liens to attach to any Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party in connection with any Inspections conducted by or for Purchaser.  Prior to conducting any Inspections, Purchaser shall give the applicable Seller not less than forty-eight (48) hours’ prior written notice (except for the inspection of any units occupied by Tenants, for which seventy-two (72) hours of notice is required).  The applicable Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during all Inspections conducted at any Property, and, in the case of testing or inspection of any Tenant Units at such Property, the applicable Seller may require that Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents be accompanied by a representative of Seller at all times during Purchaser’s entry onto such Property.  Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of each Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto each Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to such Property or other property of any Seller or other persons.  All information made available by any of the Sellers to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its Inspections shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Properties by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its Consultants from divulging such information to any unrelated third parties except as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. 

3.4.            Purchaser Indemnification

3.4.1.      In General

.  Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by a Seller (in such Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such Seller) such Seller, together with such Seller’s affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives, agents, Property Manager, Regional Property Manager, and AIMCO (collectively, including such Seller, “Seller’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all damages, mechanic’s liens, liabilities, penalties, interest, losses, demands, actions, causes of action, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including the cost of appeals) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or related to Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ entry onto such Seller’s Property, and any Inspections or other matters performed by Purchaser with respect to such Property after the Effective Date.

3.4.2.      Purchaser’s Conduct / Seller’s Right to Approve

.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on any Property without Seller's Representative's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller's Representative's sole discretion.  Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of its Property), investigations and other matters that, in the reasonable judgment of Sellers’ Representative, could result in any injury to its Property or breach of any contract, or expose the applicable Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect such Property or such Seller’s interest therein.  Purchaser shall use best efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ activities pursuant to this Section.  No consent by Seller’ Representative to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the applicable Seller or assumption of liability or risk by such Seller.  Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, each Property to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this ARTICLE 3.  Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and commercial general liability insurance with coverages of not less than $1,000,000.00 for injury or death to any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury or death to more than one person and $500,000.00 with respect to property damage, and (b) worker’s compensation insurance for all of their respective employees in accordance with the law of the state(s) in which the Properties are located.  Purchaser shall have delivered proof of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 to Sellers (in the form of a certificate of insurance) prior to entry on any Property.

3.4.3.      Survival

.  The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.5.            Property Materials

.  Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the documents set forth on Exhibit I (collectively, the “Materials”) relating to each of the Properties.  Except as provided in Section 7.1 with respect to contracts related to cable, utility and laundry services at the Properties, Sellers make no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied regarding the Materials.  Any information and Materials provided by any of the Sellers to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement are for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to all applicable Sellers if this Agreement is terminated for any reason.  Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such information and Materials.  Purchaser recognizes and agrees that the Materials and other documents and information delivered or made available by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in a Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily available to such Seller after reasonable inquiry to ascertain their availability.  Purchaser understands that, although each Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to locate and make available the Materials and other documents required to be delivered or made available by it pursuant to this Agreement.  Purchaser will not rely on such Materials or other documents as being a complete and accurate source of information with respect to such Seller's Property, and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own Inspections and Consultants with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Properties.  The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

3.6.            Property Contracts

.  On September 26, 2008, Purchaser delivered written notice to each Seller (the “Property Contracts Notice”), specifying any Property Contracts of such Seller which Purchaser desires to terminate (the “Terminated Contracts”).  After delivery of the Property Contracts Notices to Sellers, (a) Sellers shall mail notices of termination for such Terminated Contracts on or before four (4) Business Days after the Effective Date and the effective date of each such termination shall be not later than thirty (30) days after the date a Seller sends the applicable notice of termination or such later date as is required by the express terms of the applicable Terminated Contract (and, to the extent that the effective date of termination of any Terminated Contract is after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to

have assumed all of the applicable Seller’s obligations under such Terminated Contract accruing after the Closing Date), (b) if any such Property Contract cannot by its terms be terminated, it shall be assumed by Purchaser as of the Closing Date and not be a Terminated Contract, and (c) to the extent that any such Terminated Contract requires payment of a penalty or premium for cancellation, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees or penalties.  There shall be no Terminated Contracts other than those stated in the Property Contracts Notice and Purchaser shall assume the obligations under all Property Contracts of such Seller not listed in the Property Contracts Notice accruing after the Closing.  To the extent that any Property Contract to be assumed by Purchaser (including any Property Contract that, because of advance notice requirements, will be temporarily assumed by Purchaser pending the effective date of termination after the Closing Date) is assignable but requires the applicable vendor to consent to the assignment or assumption of the Property Contract by the applicable Seller to Purchaser, then, prior to the Closing Date, the applicable Seller shall be solely responsible for obtaining from each applicable vendor a consent (each a “Required Assignment Consent”) to the assignment of the Property Contract by the applicable Seller to Purchaser (and the assumption by Purchaser of all obligations under such Property Contract).  The applicable Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by Purchaser (in Purchaser’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such Purchaser) Purchaser together with Purchaser’s affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives, and agents (collectively, including Purchaser, “Purchaser’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses arising from or related to the applicable Seller’s failure to obtain any Required Assignment Consent.  The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE 4
TITLE AND SURVEY

4.1.            Title Documents

.  Purchaser acknowledges delivery by the Title Insurer of a standard form commitment for title insurance (“Title Commitment”) for each Property in an amount equal to the Property’s Base Purchase Price for an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) on the most recent standard form promulgated by state law applicable to the Property in question, together with copies of all instruments identified as exceptions therein (together with the Title Commitment, referred to herein as the “Title Documents”).  Each Seller shall be responsible for payment of the procurement of the Title Commitment and the basic premium for the Title Policy for its Property.  Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of all other costs relating to the Title Policy and any requested endorsements (or endorsements required by any Lender) with respect to each of the Properties, including for “extended” coverage.

4.2.            Survey

.  Purchaser acknowledges receipt from each Seller of a copy of the existing survey with respect to such Seller’s Property (the “Existing Survey”).  To the extent that Purchaser desires that a new survey of a Property be prepared (or that the Existing Survey be updated), Purchaser shall order such new or updated survey of such Property (each such new or updated survey, whether requested by Purchaser or ordered by Seller, is referred to herein as an “Updated Survey” and together with the Existing Survey, is referred to herein as the “Survey”).  Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of the preparation of any Updated Survey requested pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2.

4.3.            Objection and Response Process

On or before the Effective Date, Purchaser has, on a Property-by-Property basis, given written notice to Sellers’ Representative of those matters set forth in the Title Documents and/or Surveys to which Purchaser objects (the “Objections”).  In response to such Objections, Sellers agree as follows with respect to each Property: (a) the applicable Seller will cause the Title Company to issue the Title Policy, deleting all existing mortgages, deeds of trust and related security instruments, including, without limitation, any Deed of Trust (other than any such document or instrument relating to the Assumed Encumbrances); (b) the applicable Seller will cause to be removed from the Title Commitment prior to Closing, or will bond over at Closing or otherwise have removed from the Title Policy, any mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens, judgments of record, writs and other monetary liens (provided the amount of such other monetary lien does not exceed $250,000.00); (c) the applicable Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in seeking to obtain, but shall not be required to obtain, releases of any agreements or memoranda of agreement relating to expired or terminated laundry leases and cable television agreements; and (d) the applicable Seller will provide such reasonable affidavits to the Title Company as are customarily required in order to remove the standard exceptions to title from the Title Policies.  Sellers shall not be required to take any other action with respect to the Objections and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement as a result of such Objections (except as a result of Sellers’ default of their obligations under subparagraphs (a), (b), and (d) above), provided the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Purchaser’s right to work directly with the Title Company and the applicable surveyor, as applicable, to resolve any Objections (provided such resolution imposes no obligation on any Seller).  Each Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing Date for its Property in order to accomplish the foregoing, but in no event later shall such extension be for longer than thirty (30) days from the then scheduled Closing Date.

4.4.            Permitted Exceptions

.  The Deed for each Property delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following, all of which shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”:

(a)                All matters shown in the Title Documents and the Survey for such Property, other than (a) those Objections, if any, which the applicable Seller is required to cure under Section 4.3, (b) mechanics’ liens and taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing, (c) the standard exception regarding the rights of parties in possession which shall be limited to those parties in possession pursuant to the Leases, (d) the standard exception pertaining to taxes which shall be limited to taxes and assessments payable in the year in which the Closing occurs and subsequent taxes and assessments, and (e) any liens for money owed other than the Assumed Encumbrances up to an amount equal to $250,000.00;

(b)               All Leases for such Property;

(c)                Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances;

(d)               The terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(e)                Any defects caused by Purchaser.

4.5.            Existing Deed of Trust

.  It is understood and agreed that any deeds of trust and/or mortgages which secure a Note for a Payoff Property (collectively, a “Deed of Trust”) shall not be deemed Permitted Exceptions for such Property, whether Purchaser gives further written notice of such or not, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured from proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing.  In addition, if a Seller elects to convert an Assumption Property to a Payoff Property pursuant to Section 5.7, the Deed of Trust with respect to such Property  shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured from proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing; provided, however, that the applicable Seller shall be responsible for payment of any prepayment premiums or penalties imposed by the applicable Assumption Lender in connection with such payoff.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may be required to assume the existing regulatory agreement that is related to the Deeds of Trust encumbering the Springhouse Property for the remainder of the “Qualified Project Period” (as such term is defined in such regulatory agreement). 

4.6.            Seller Financing

.  At Closing, Sellers (or such other AIMCO-affiliated entity as Sellers may select) will offer partial financing to the applicable Purchaser’s Designated Entities for Purchaser’s acquisition of (i) the Runaway Bay I Property, (ii) the Cooper’s Pointe Property, and (iii) the Webb Bridge Crossing Property (collectively, the “Seller Loans”).  The Seller Loans shall be in an amount equal to $3,250,000 with respect to Runaway Bay I, $2,250,000 with respect to Cooper’s Pointe, and $2,200,000 with respect to Webb Bridge Crossing.  The applicable Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate, using commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain the consent of the applicable Assumption Lender to (a) the recording of a second lien mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable, against the applicable Property as security for that Seller Loan; and (b) authorization for AIMCO or its designated affiliate to assume management responsibilities at the applicable Property in the event of a default by Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser’s Designated Entity) under the applicable Seller Loan (regardless of whether a default has occurred under the senior Assumed Loan).  In the event the parties are unable to obtain an Assumption Lender’s consent to the imposition of a second lien on the applicable Property, such Seller Loan shall be secured by a pledge of 100% of the ownership interests in such Purchaser’s Designated Entity owning such Property and providing, without limitation, for AIMCO or its designated affiliate to assume management of the applicable entity and of the Property upon a default under such Seller Loan.  Interest shall be payable on the Runaway Bay I Seller Loan at a rate of 0% for the first three (3) years and at a rate of 4% each year thereafter until maturity.  Interest shall be payable on the Cooper’s Pointe Seller Loan at a rate of 3.5% for the first three (3) years and at a rate of 4% each year thereafter until maturity.  Interest shall be payable on the Webb Bridge Crossing Seller Loan at a rate of 1.4% for the first three (3) years and at a rate of 4% each year thereafter until maturity.  Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Sellers shall agree upon the forms of the loan documents to be executed by the parties with respect to the Seller Loans (including, without limitation, promissory notes, which shall not be subject to offset) (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). 

4.7.            Purchaser Financing

.  Notwithstanding the provisions of ARTICLE 5 with respect to the Loan Assumptions, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and neither Purchaser’s acquisition of such funds nor approval of a Loan Assumption shall be a contingency to the Closing; provided, however, in the event that Sellers elect to convert an Assumption Property to a Payoff Property as provided herein, but Purchaser is unable to obtain new financing for such Property as a result of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae ceasing all lending operations, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Assumption Property, in which event Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing against the Base Purchase Price for the remaining Properties in an amount equal to the Applicable Share of the Deposit allocated to such terminated Assumption Property.

ARTICLE 5
ASSUMED ENCUMBRANCES

5.1.            In General

.  Purchaser recognizes and agrees that each of the Assumption Properties is presently encumbered by a Deed of Trust and certain other security and related documents (collectively, the “Assumed Encumbrances”) in connection with loans made to the Assumption Sellers by the applicable Assumption Lender set forth on the Seller Information Schedule.  Each of the Assumed Loans is evidenced by a Note executed by such Assumption Seller, as borrower, and payable to the order of the applicable Assumption Lender (as set forth on the Seller Information Schedule).  The Assumed Encumbrances for each of the Assumption Properties, together with the underlying Notes and any other documents executed by the Assumption Sellers are collectively referred to herein as, the “Assumed Loan Documents”.  Each Assumption Seller shall, in addition to the other Materials provided to Purchaser hereunder, make available to Purchaser true and complete copies of all Assumed Loan Documents which are in such Seller’s possession.

5.2.            Purchaser’s Obligation to Assume

.  Purchaser agrees that, at the Closing, Purchaser (by and through its assignees) shall assume the obligations of each Assumption Seller under each of the Assumed Loan Documents (and each such Assumption Seller shall be released from the terms thereof) first arising after the Closing Date and accept title to each Assumption Property subject to the Assumed Encumbrances. The foregoing with respect to each Assumption Property is referred to herein as the “Loan Assumption”. 

5.3.            Loan Assumption Application

.  Purchaser acknowledges that to assume each of the Assumed Loans, Purchaser will be required to submit a complete assumption application to the applicable Assumption Lender in order to obtain the approval of each Assumption Lender to the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser and release of the applicable Assumption Seller thereunder.  Purchaser acknowledges that each Assumption Seller has contacted its applicable Assumption Lender to request an application and/or checklist of materials needed from such Assumption Lender for Purchaser’s assumption of such Assumed Loan (the “Assumption Application”).  Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense and within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, shall make a good faith, commercially reasonable effort to substantially satisfy the requirements set forth in each Assumption Application, including submission of each Assumption Application and all documents and information required in connection therewith, and any fees associated therewith (collectively a “Loan Assumption Packet”).  Purchaser shall advise Sellers’ Representative of its submission of each of the Loan Assumption Packets to the applicable Assumption Lender.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is solely responsible for the preparation and submittal of each Loan Assumption Packet, including the collection of all materials, documents, certificates, financials, signatures, and other items required to be submitted to the applicable Assumption Lender in connection with the Loan Assumption Packet; provided, however, that each Assumption Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at no cost or expense to such Assumption Seller, with materials, information, or assistance needed by Purchaser for such Loan Assumption Application, and to promptly advise Purchaser of any material communication received by such Assumption Seller from any Assumption Lender. 

5.4.            Additional Requirements of Purchaser

.  In addition to the submission of a Loan Assumption Packet with respect to each of the Assumed Loans, Purchaser shall:

(a)                Use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to provide to each Assumption Lender, within a reasonable period of time, any additional documents and/or information required by the applicable Assumed Loan Documents, and such other information or documentation as the Assumption Lender reasonably may request, including, without limitation, financial statements, income tax returns and other financial information for Purchaser and any required guarantor;

(b)               Take all reasonable steps to comply with the assumption guidelines of each Assumption Lender in connection with the applicable Loan Assumption.  Purchaser shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for making good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to correct and re-submit any reasonable deficiencies noted by each Assumption Lender in connection with the applicable Loan Assumption Application.  Each Assumption Seller, as applicable, agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its applicable Assumption Lender, at no cost or expense to such Assumption Seller, in connection with Purchaser’s application for approval of the Loan Assumption;

(c)                Pay all assumption fees imposed or charged by the Assumption Lender in connection with each Assumed Loan, including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees of each Assumption Lender (such fees and expenses collectively being referred to as the “Assumption Lender Fees”). 

5.5.            Replacement of Reserves

.  At Closing, each Assumption Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in all reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be maintained in connection with the Assumed Loans.  To the extent that an Assumption Lender permits, in lieu of distributing the current reserves to the applicable Assumption Seller and having Purchaser re-fund such amounts, the applicable Assumption Seller shall receive a credit against the Base Purchase Price for its Property at Closing equal to the amount of any reserves, impounds and other accounts held by such Assumption Lender and associated with the Assumed Loan in question, and all such reserves, impounds, and other accounts shall be assigned to Purchaser.

5.6.            Time to Obtain Lender Approval

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 5, Purchaser shall have until October 17, 2008 (the “Loan Assumption Deadline”) to obtain each Assumption Lender’s approval of the assumption by Purchaser of the applicable Assumed Loan, each upon terms and conditions substantially similar to those currently in the Assumed Loan Documents and/or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, and that contains a complete release of the applicable Assumption Seller from the obligations thereunder (a “Loan Assumption Approval”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Loan Assumption Approvals as soon as possible.

5.7.            Failure to Obtain Assumption Approval

.  Purchaser shall be in default of this Agreement in the event (a) Purchaser fails to obtain any Loan Assumption Approval by the Loan Assumption Deadline and (b) Purchaser did not use its best efforts to so obtain such approval.  In the event Purchaser notifies Seller on the Loan Assumption Deadline that a Loan Assumption Approval was not obtained and Purchaser has used its best efforts to obtain such Loan Assumption Approval, the Loan Assumption Deadline shall automatically be extended to November 21, 2008 (the “Extended Loan Assumption Deadline”).  In the event Purchaser notifies Seller on the Extended Loan Assumption Deadline that a Loan Assumption Approval was not obtained and Seller reasonably determines Purchaser used its best efforts to obtain such Loan Assumption Approval, Sellers shall, in their sole discretion and by written notice to Purchaser, either (a) extend the Extended Loan Assumption Deadline for the applicable Assumption Property for a period of up to thirty (30) additional days (and the Closing Date shall be extended as provided in Section 6.2); (b) terminate this Agreement with respect to such Assumption Property, in which event Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing against the Base Purchase Price for the remaining Properties in an amount equal to the Applicable Share of the Deposit allocated to such terminated Property; or (c) convert such Property to a Payoff Property (provided, however, that such Seller shall be responsible for payment of any prepayment premiums or penalties imposed by the applicable Assumption Lender in connection with such payoff).  If Sellers elect to convert an Assumption Property to a Payoff Property as provided herein, Sellers shall have no obligation to offer to Purchaser the Seller Loan for such Property.  In the event Sellers elect to further extend the Extended Loan Assumption Approval as provided above and at the expiration of such extended period the applicable Loan Assumption Approval still has not been obtained despite Purchaser having used best efforts to obtain such approval, then Sellers shall elect to exercise either of their rights set forth in items (b) or (c) above.  In the event the Extended Loan Assumption Deadline for a Property is extended as provided above, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for such Property, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2.  In the event that Sellers elect to convert an Assumption Property to a Payoff Property as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, the Closing Date will be automatically extended with respect to such Property to the date that is thirty (30) days after such Seller’s election; provided, however, that if Purchaser is unable to obtain new financing for such Property as a result of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae ceasing all lending operations, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Assumption Property, in which event Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing against the Base Purchase Price for the remaining Properties in an amount equal to the Applicable Share of the Deposit allocated to such terminated Assumption Property.

5.8.            Documentation of Assumption

.  Upon receipt of Loan Assumption Approval, the applicable Assumption Seller and Purchaser shall work, in good faith, with the Assumption Lender to negotiate and execute by the Closing Date, a loan assumption agreement (the “Loan Assumption Agreement”) and any other documents which are necessary or reasonably required in order for the Assumption Seller in question to assign to Purchaser, and for Purchaser to assume, all of such Assumption Seller’s liability and obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents first arising after the Closing and to release the applicable Assumption Seller, its guarantors and other obligated parties from all obligations first arising after the Closing (collectively with the Loan Assumption Agreement, the “Assignment and Assumption Documents”).

(d)               Solely with respect to a Payoff Property, either Purchaser or Seller shall have the right, on written notice to the other (delivered on or before 5:00 p.m. PST on October 17, 2008) to extend the Closing Date with respect to a Payoff Property to November 1, 2008, without penalty.  In addition, each Seller of a Payoff Property shall have the right to extend the Closing Date with respect to its Payoff Property for an additional thirty (30) days beyond November 1, 2008, provided that if the Closing Date for the Bexley House Property, Big Walnut Property, Hibben Ferry I Property, Scotch Pines East Property, or Sycamore Creek Property is extended beyond November 1, 2008, the applicable Seller pays to Purchaser a sum equal to fifty basis points (0.5%) multiplied by the amount of the loan being obtained by Purchaser for such Property (to cover Purchaser’s rate lock extension fee).  Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date with respect to a Property beyond December 1, 2008.

(e)                In the event a Seller has not obtained any necessary consent as described in Section 9.2(d), such Seller may extend the Closing Date for its Property to November 21, 2008.  In addition, in the event the Seller of the Runaway Bay I Property elects to extend the Closing Date for that Property pursuant to this Section 6.2(e), the Closing Date for the Runaway Bay II Property shall automatically be likewise extended.

(f)                 In the event that the Closing Date for a Property is extended pursuant to Section 4.3, the Closing Date for such Property shall be extended for up to thirty (30) days from the then-scheduled Closing Date, subject to the payment of any rate lock extensions by such Seller, as applicable, if the extended Closing Date for such Property is after November 1, 2008.

6.5.1.      General

.  With respect to each Property, all normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, collected rents, operating expenses, personal property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, the applicable Seller being charged or credited, as appropriate, for all of the same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any amounts paid by the applicable Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date, if assumed by Purchaser) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of the same attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date.  Each Seller shall prepare a proration schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) of the adjustments described in this Section 6.5 prior to Closing.  Such adjustments shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to such Seller) or by such Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser for such Property), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Purchaser at Closing for such Property and delivery of any Seller's assignment of an Entity Interest to Purchaser.

6.5.2.      Operating Expenses

.  With respect to each Property, all of the operating, maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes, such as rental taxes), and other expenses incurred in operating such Property that such Seller customarily pays, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business for the management and operation of such Property, shall be prorated on an accrual basis (collectively, the “Operating Expenses”).  Each Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay all such expenses that accrue from and after the Closing Date. 

6.5.3.      Utilities

.  With respect to each Property, the final readings and final billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which case each Seller shall be responsible for all such bills as of the Closing Date and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills.  Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate computed by utilizing the most recent reading and the most recent bill from the utility provider and a readjustment made within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing, if necessary.  Each Seller shall be entitled to the return of any deposit(s) posted by it with any utility company and such Seller shall notify each utility company serving its Property to transfer its account to Purchaser (or terminate the account if requested by the utility company in question), effective as of noon on the Closing Date.

6.5.4.      Real Estate Taxes

.  Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes, including personal property taxes, for a Property, or any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the Closing Date, based upon actual days involved.  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of such Property, or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using one hundred five percent (105%) of the last available valuation for the Property and calculated using the last figures available (assuming payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount).  The proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments shall be final and not subject to re-adjustment after Closing.

6.5.5.      Property Contracts

.  Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, operating expenses shall be prorated under Section 6.5.2.

6.5.6.      Leases

(a)                With respect to each Property, all collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, or retroactive rentals), shall be prorated as of the Closing Date (prorated for any partial month).  Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date.  Each Seller shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made in relation to either (a) non-delinquent rents which have not been collected as of the Closing Date, or (b) delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to herein as the “Uncollected Rents”).  In adjusting for Uncollected Rents, no adjustments shall be made in a Seller’s favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing Date, but Purchaser shall pay to such Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Properties for all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents and shall turn over the same to each Seller promptly after such collection.  After the Closing, each Seller shall have no right to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents (except to the extent Purchaser has collected such Uncollected Rents but has not paid the same to such Seller). 

(b)               On the Closing Date, with respect to each Property, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the applicable Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash (or cash equivalent) Tenant Deposits existing in each Seller’s accounts as of the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, security, damage or other refundable deposits or required to be paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations under the Leases, together, in all cases, with any interest payable to the Tenants thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state law (the “Tenant Security Deposit Balance”).  Any cash (or cash equivalents) held by a Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by the applicable Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the applicable Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security Deposit Balance nonetheless shall be assumed by Purchaser.  The Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall not include any non-refundable deposits or fees paid by Tenants to any Seller, either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise. 

(c)                With respect to utility charges and other operating cost pass-throughs (“Utility Costs”), which are passed through and payable by Tenants under the Tenant Leases for a Property, there shall be no prorations or credits at Closing.  Any and all payments for the aforementioned items received by Purchaser after the Closing shall be retained by Purchaser regardless of when they were billed (or should have been billed) by the applicable Seller.  Any and all payments for Utility Costs received by Seller prior to the Closing, even for a period applicable subsequent to the Closing Date, shall be retained by the applicable Seller.  Seller shall have the right to continue to bill Tenants for Utility Costs through the Closing Date, but only in the ordinary course of such Seller’s business (provided that each Seller shall be entitled to submit bills for Utility Costs to Tenants both at the end of September 2008 and once during October 2008, prior to Closing).  After the Closing Date, each Seller’s right to collect such sums for Utility Costs (including those previously billed for but uncollected as of the Closing Date) shall cease, provided that Purchaser agrees to take reasonable actions to collect such Utility Costs sums and shall turn over the same to each Seller promptly after such collection.  In addition, upon the termination of a Tenant’s tenancy at a Property, Purchaser agrees to bill such Tenant for any outstanding Utility Costs incurred but not paid during the applicable Seller’s ownership of the Property (regardless of whether billed to such Tenant by the applicable Seller prior to Closing), as such bill will be provided by the applicable Seller to Purchaser.  Purchaser shall have no obligation to pursue collection of such bill, however in the event either Purchaser or the applicable Seller collect on such bill, the amount so collected shall be shared equally between Purchaser and such Seller.

6.5.7.      Existing Loan Payoff

.  On the Closing Date, for each Payoff Property a sufficient amount of the proceeds of the Purchase Price will be used to pay the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Note together with all interest accrued under such Note prior to the Closing Date (the “Loan Payoff”).  Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Loan on a Payoff Property shall be released to the applicable Seller unless credited by Lender against the amount due under the Note.

6.5.8.      Insurance

.  No proration shall be made in relation to insurance premiums and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.

6.5.9.      Employees

.  All of each Seller’s and/or Property Manager’s on-site employees shall have their employment at the applicable Property terminated by the applicable Seller/Property Manager as of the applicable Closing Date.  Payroll, FICA, union benefits, if any, accrued vacation pay and other employee benefits and employee related taxes relating to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid exclusively by the applicable Seller.  Following the Closing, Sellers agree that for a period of one (1) year, Sellers and their affiliates (including each applicable Property Manager) shall not directly solicit any of the employees of the Properties; provided, however, that if in the course of responding to an ad or similar solicitation placed by a headhunter or AIMCO’s internal human resources department who is soliciting employees for a property located in a state other than the state in which the applicable employee’s Property is located, an employee of such Property applies for a position with AIMCO in the other state, Sellers shall not be deemed to be in breach of the foregoing restriction (so long as, in the case of a solicitation placed by AIMCO’s internal human resources department, such solicitation was not directed specifically to any of the employees of the Properties).

6.5.10.  Closing Costs

.  With respect to each Property:

(a)                Purchaser shall pay (i) subject to Section 5.4(c), any assumption fees in connection with its assumption of the Assumed Loans; (ii) any mortgage or similar taxes on new financing obtained by Purchaser (including the Seller Loans); (iii) any taxes associated with the assumption of the Assumed Loans; (iv) any sales taxes, use taxes, or similar charges; (v) any premiums or fees required to be paid by Purchaser with respect to the applicable Title Policy pursuant to Section 4.1; (vi) one-half (1/2) of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent; (vii) the fees of any counsel or consultant representing Purchaser in this transaction; and (viii) any Special Purpose Entity Fees.

(c)                The parties shall pay the transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes charged in connection with the transfer of each Property according to the custom of the state or commonwealth in which such Property is located.  In light of the foregoing, the parties agree that (a) Seller shall pay any transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes charged in connection with the transfer of those Properties located in the States of Georgia, Ohio, South Carolina and the Commonwealth of Virginia, and (b) Purchaser shall pay any transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes charged in connection with the transfer of those Properties located in Colorado.

6.5.11.  [Intentionally Left Blank]

 

6.5.12.  Possession

6.5.13.  Tax Appeals

.  Purchaser acknowledges that certain of the Sellers, as identified on the Seller Information Schedule (the “Tax Appeal Sellers”) have filed appeals (each, an “Appeal”) with respect to real estate ad valorem or other similar property taxes applicable to the Tax Appeal Properties (the “Property Taxes”).

(a)                If such Appeal relates to any Tax Year (defined below) prior to the Tax Year in which the Closing occurs, each Tax Appeal Seller shall be entitled, in such Tax Appeal Seller’s sole discretion, to continue to pursue such Appeal after the Closing Date, and, in the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes payable with respect to any such prior Tax Year, each Tax Appeal Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of any rebate, refund or reduction (collectively, a “Refund”) resulting from the Appeal.  No Tax Appeal Seller shall be obligated to continue to pursue any Appeal with respect to the applicable Tax Appeal Property, including, without limitation, any Appeal that relates to a Tax Year during or after the Tax Year in which Closing occurs.

(b)               If such Appeal relates to the Tax Year in which Closing occurs, then Purchaser shall be entitled to take over and continue such Appeal from and after Closing, at Purchaser’s sole discretion and cost and expense, to reasonably process the Appeal to conclusion with the applicable taxing authority (including any further appeals which Purchaser deems reasonable to pursue).  In the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Year in which Closing occurs, then Purchaser and each Tax Appeal Seller shall share any Refund on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of days in the Tax Year of Closing that each held title to the applicable Tax Appeal Property) after first reimbursing each of Purchaser and each Tax Appeal Seller for their respective Third-Party Costs incurred in connection with the Appeal.  If Third-Party Costs equal or exceed the amount of the Award, then the Award shall be applied to such Third-Party Costs on a pro rata basis, with each of Purchaser and the applicable Tax Appeal Seller receiving a portion of the Award equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the respective party’s Third-Party Costs, and the denominator of which is the total of both parties’ Third-Party Costs, and (ii) the amount of the Award.

(c)                Purchaser shall notify each Tax Appeal Seller within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Refund check, and agrees to pay the applicable Tax Appeal Seller its Third-Party Costs plus such Tax Appeal Seller’s pro rata share of the Refund no later than ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Refund.

(d)               Each Seller agrees that after the Effective Date, such Seller will not initiate any new Tax Appeal with respect to its Property without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e)                For purposes of this Section 6.5.13, “Tax Year” shall mean each 12-month period for which the applicable taxing authority assesses Property Taxes, which may or may not be a calendar year.

6.5.14.  Survival

.  The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

6.7.            Special Purpose Entity Transfers

(a)                Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, at the option of Purchaser and only to the extent permitted by the applicable Assumption Lender or other lender providing new financing to Purchaser, any Property that is owned one hundred percent (100%) by AIMCO Properties, L.P. may be conveyed to Purchaser (or to Purchaser’s Designated Entity, as hereinafter defined) through the transfer of one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests (the “Entity Interest”) of a limited liability company wholly owned by a Seller at the time of Closing (each a “Special Purpose Entity”).  Purchaser shall notify Seller no later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, which Properties shall be conveyed to a Special Purpose Entity (the “Entity Transfer Properties”).  A Special Purpose Entity shall be formed by Purchaser (with such name as Purchaser may reasonably designate) for each such Property no later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date.  Each Entity Transfer Property shall be transferred to a Special Purpose Entity on the Closing Date by the execution and delivery of transfer documents in form and substance to be negotiated between Sellers and Purchaser during the period between the Effective Date and ten (10) days before the Closing Date, provided each such Special Purpose Entity shall not hold any assets or have any liabilities prior to said transfer of the applicable Property to it;

(b)               Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing the governance documentation for each Special Purpose Entity (including, without limitation, such entity’s articles, bylaws, and/or operating agreements) and the instruments conveying the applicable Property to such Special Purpose Entity.  Purchaser shall provide Sellers with copies of the governance and conveyance documentation not less than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date for Sellers' review to ensure such documents have no adverse effect on Sellers or AIMCO.  Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers their reasonable costs incurred to review such governance documents.  Sellers shall provide Purchaser comments within three (3) days after receipt of such draft documents and, thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver final, execution-ready copies of such governing and conveyance documents to Sellers not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date;

(c)                Sellers shall deposit with Escrow Agent the Deeds conveying the applicable Property to the Special Purpose Entity and an assignment of such Seller's ownership interest in such Special Purpose Entity not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date;

(d)               Purchaser shall pay the costs and fees associated with forming each Special Purpose Entity and for the transfer of each of the Entity Transfer Properties to the applicable Special Purpose Entity and Purchaser shall be responsible for all of the recordation fees incurred in connection therewith (the “Special Purpose Entity Fees”) and Sellers shall not be required to bear any cost or expense in connection with the formation of the Special Purpose Entities or the transfer of any Entity Transfer Properties to a Special Purpose Entity;

(e)                Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless from any Losses resulting from any obligations or liabilities of the Special Purpose Entities or the transfer of any Property thereto; and

(f)                 For purposes of clarification, the conveyance by a Seller of an Entity Transfer Property to a Special Purpose Entity as provided in this Section 6.7 and the subsequent conveyance of an Entity Interest to Purchaser at Closing shall in no way abrogate or otherwise modify the scope of Seller’s representations, warranties and obligations hereunder with respect to such Property.

7.3.            Survival of Seller’s Representations

7.4.            Definition of Seller’s Knowledge

.  Any representations and warranties made “to the knowledge of [such] Seller” (or words of similar import) shall not be deemed to imply any duty of inquiry.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term Seller’s “knowledge” shall mean and refer only to actual knowledge of the Regional Property Manager of such Seller, and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of such Seller, or any affiliate of such Seller, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon such Regional Property Manager any individual personal liability.

7.5.3.      Pending Litigation

.  No pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation exists which if determined adversely would restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or would declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of Purchaser’s obligations or covenants to Sellers;

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

11.1.        Purchaser Default

.  If Purchaser defaults in its obligations hereunder to (a) deliver the Deposit, or (b) deliver the Purchase Price for each Property at the time required by Section 2.2.4 and, as a result, does not close on the purchase of the Properties on the Closing Date, then, immediately and without notice or cure, Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Properties.  If Purchaser defaults in any of its other representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to deliver to Escrow Agent the deliveries specified under Section 6.4 on the date required thereunder), and such default continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Sellers’ Representative, then Purchaser shall forfeit the Deposit and neither party shall be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property.  The Deposit constitutes liquidated damages and recourse to the Deposit is, except for Purchaser’s indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder, Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy for Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Properties or any breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser hereunder.  Sellers expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for any default by Purchaser hereunder.  SELLERS AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLERS’ DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLERS’ DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  SELLERS AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 11.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLERS, AND SHALL BE SELLERS’ EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

11.2.        Seller Default

.  If a Seller, prior to the Closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement, including to sell its Property as required by this Agreement and such default continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Purchaser, then, at Purchaser’s election, Purchaser may either (i) if Purchaser has closed on the remaining Properties for which there has been no default alleged, seek specific performance of the defaulting Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement (but not damages); or (ii) give a Termination Notice to Sellers’ Representative of Purchaser’s decision to terminate this Agreement for the Properties for which there was such a default, proceed to Closing on the remaining Properties, and the applicable Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Applicable Share of the Deposit for the terminated Properties, Return on Deposit on the Applicable Share amount (or credit the same to Purchaser against the Base Purchase Price for the other Properties for which this Agreement has not been terminated), an amount equal to the actual third party costs incurred by Purchaser relating to breaking Purchaser’s rate lock with respect to the terminated Properties (provided Sellers’ liability for such costs to Purchaser related to breaking the rate lock shall not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate regardless of the number of terminated Properties), and, if Sellers’ default under this Agreement resulted from an intentional action or inaction of Sellers taken in bad faith (excluding any action or inaction a Seller reasonably takes or refuses to take in response to a request or requirement of any Lender) that causes one (1) or more of the Closings not to occur solely as a result of such action or inaction, a termination fee of $8,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) (provided Purchaser has otherwise performed it obligations under this Agreement with respect to the other remaining Properties, including delivery of the Purchase Price therefor, and Sellers have been afforded notice and an opportunity to cure as provided above but have failed to so cure).  The amount of the Termination Fee that may be collected by Purchaser shall be limited to $8,000,000, regardless of the number of Sellers alleged to have defaulted hereunder.  Purchaser shall be entitled to execute on the Guaranty for any of the Applicable Share of the Deposit, Return on Deposit, and Termination Fee if the same are not returned within one (1) day after termination of the Agreement with respect to the Property or Properties in question. 

ARTICLE 12
RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

12.1.        Major Damage

.  In the event of Major Damage to a Property prior to the Closing Date, then the applicable Seller shall have no obligation to repair such Major Damage and shall notify Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction (the “Damage Notice”).  Within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Damage Notice, Purchaser may elect at its option to give a Termination Notice for the damaged Property to Seller’s Representative.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the damaged Property, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement either, at the election of the applicable Seller, (a) for the full Purchase Price for the damaged Property notwithstanding any such damage or destruction, and Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by the applicable Seller) of such Seller’ rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive all remaining insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim (plus a credit against the applicable Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by the applicable Seller in connection therewith and not spent by such Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs); or (b) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Base Purchase Price for the damaged Property for the full replacement costs of repair to the subject Property, plus, to the extent covered by such Seller’s insurance policy, any costs required pursuant to local code or zoning requirements, as determined by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to such Seller and Purchaser.  In the event a Seller elects to assign such Seller's rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related casualty to Purchaser as provided above, and if an AIMCO employee is the adjuster for the claim related thereto, Sellers covenant and agree that the adjuster shall act in accordance with standard insurance industry protocols in processing such claim (including, without limitation, the time taken to process such claim).

12.2.        Minor Damage

.  In the event of damage to a Property which does not constitute Major Damage, this transaction shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, the applicable Seller shall make such repairs to the extent of any recovery from insurance carried on such Property if such repairs can be reasonably effected before the Closing.  Sellers shall endeavor to deliver written notice to Purchaser of any material physical damage to any Tenant Unit promptly after learning of such damage.  Subject to Section 12.3, if the applicable Seller is unable to effect such repairs prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall, at Closing, execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (in a form reasonably required by the applicable Seller) of such Seller’ rights and obligations with respect to the insurance claim and related to such casualty, and thereafter Purchaser shall receive all remaining insurance proceeds pertaining to such claim (plus a credit at Closing against the applicable Purchase Price for the damaged Property in the amount of any deductible payable by the applicable Seller in connection therewith and not spent by such Seller for demolition, site cleaning, restoration or other repairs).  Any such claim that is assigned to Purchaser shall be processed as described in Section 12.1.  In the alternative, and at the sole option of the applicable Seller, such Seller may elect to give to Purchaser, at Closing, a credit against the Base Purchase Price for the damaged Property for the full replacement costs of repair to the subject Property, plus, to the extent covered by such Seller’s insurance policy, any costs required pursuant to local code or zoning requirements, as determined by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to such Seller and Purchaser. 

12.3.        Repairs

.  To the extent that a Seller elects to commence any repair, replacement or restoration of its damaged Property prior to Closing, then such Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such repair, replacement or restoration completed or installed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such repair, replacement or restoration after Closing from the balance of any available insurance proceeds.  To the extent that any repair, replacement or restoration of a casualty has been commenced by the applicable Seller prior to Closing, then the Property Contracts for such Property shall include, and Purchaser shall assume at Closing, all construction and other contracts entered into by such Seller in connection with such repair, replacement or restoration.  The provisions of this Section 12.3 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

.  The Seller of the Sycamore Creek Property is currently in the process of repairing twelve (12) fire-damaged units at the Sycamore Creek Property.  To the extent that such Seller has not completed such repairs by the Closing Date, then (a) the Seller of the Sycamore Creek Property shall have until March 31, 2009 (the “Sycamore Completion Date”) to complete such repairs, and (b) the Seller of the Sycamore Creek Property shall pay to Purchaser’s Designated Entity for Sycamore Creek the sum of Seven Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($7,600.00) (the “Lost Rent Amount”), per month beginning on the later to occur of November 1, 2008 or the actual Closing Date for the Sycamore Creek Property, as revenue for “lost rents” for the down units, from the Closing Date until that date that is thirty (30) days after all the Certificates of Occupancy for such down units have been received by the Seller of the Sycamore Creek Property or Purchaser’s Designated Entity therefore.  All repairs required by the Seller of the Sycamore Creek Property hereunder shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner, shall return the Sycamore Creek Property to its condition prior to the damage, shall comply with all applicable zoning and building codes, and shall be at the Sycamore Creek Property Seller’s sole cost and expense.  Upon completion of the repairs, the Sycamore Creek Seller shall assign to Purchaser all warranties, if any, held by such Seller with respect to the materials or labor used in performing the repairs.

12.4.2.  Holdback

.  If by the Closing Date, the aforementioned repairs are not complete and the post-repair Certificates of Occupancy have not been delivered to Purchaser, then, at Closing, the Sycamore Creek Property Seller shall direct Escrow Agent to hold back a sum of money equal to the costs to complete the repairs to the down units as of the Closing Date, plus an amount equal to the Loss Rent Amount for each month from the Closing Date through the Sycamore Completion Date (the “Sycamore Creek Holdback”).  The Sycamore Creek Holdback shall be held by Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account until disbursed in accordance with this Section.  Provided the same occurs prior to the Sycamore Completion Date, upon the delivery of the post-repair Certificates of Occupancy for all damaged units at the Sycamore Creek Property to Purchaser’s Designated Entity with respect thereto, Escrow Agent shall release from the Sycamore Creek Holdback (i) to Purchaser’s Designated Entity for the Sycamore Creek Property the Lost Rent Amount for the period between the Closing Date for the Sycamore Creek Property, and the date that is thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Certificates of Occupancy, and (ii) to Seller, the balance of the Sycamore Creek Holdback.  If the Sycamore Creek Property Seller shall fail to deliver the post-repair Certificates of Occupancy for all damaged units at the Sycamore Creek Property to Purchaser’s Designated Entity prior to the Sycamore Completion Date, then on the Sycamore Completion Date, Escrow Agent shall release the entire Sycamore Creek Holdback to Purchaser’s Designated Entity with respect to the Sycamore Creek Property, and Purchaser’s Designated Entity shall assume the completion of the repairs.

12.5.        Ohio Damage Holdback

.  Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that certain Properties located in the State of Ohio were damaged as a result of the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.  The Sellers of such Properties are currently in the process of repairing such damage to the Properties.  To the extent that such Sellers, or any one of them, have not completed such repairs by the applicable Closing Date, then (a) the Sellers of the Properties for which such repairs have not been completed shall direct Escrow Agent, on the Closing Date, to hold back a total sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Ohio Property Holdback”) from the sale proceeds of the applicable aforementioned Properties, allocated on a pro rata basis determined by dividing the applicable Property’s Base Purchase Price, by the Base Purchase Prices for all of the Ohio Properties for which such repairs have not been completed.  After the Closing, the applicable Sellers shall be responsible for completing the remaining repairs and all such repairs shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner, shall return the applicable Property to its condition prior to the damage, shall comply with all applicable zoning and building codes, and shall be at such Sellers’s sole cost and expense.  Upon completion of the repairs, the applicable Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all warranties, if any, held by such Sellers with respect to the materials or labor used in performing the repairs.  The Ohio Property Holdback shall remain with Escrow Agent until the repairs to the Ohio Properties have been completed, at which time they shall be released by Escrow Agent (i) to Purchaser in an amount necessary to cover any items of expense or expenditure by Purchaser for repairs to the Ohio Properties (as documented by invoices) as a result of a Seller’s failure to complete the repairs as provided above, and (ii) the balance to the applicable Seller on a pro rata basis.

12.6.        Replacement of Insurance Carrier

.  In the event a Seller elects to replace its existing property and casualty insurance coverage after the Effective Date with coverage by a third party insurer, such new policy shall not be for less coverage than carried by such Seller as of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 13
EMINENT DOMAIN

If, at the time of Closing, any material part of a Property is (or previously has been) acquired, or is about to be acquired, by any governmental agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof (or in the event that at such time there is any notice of any such acquisition or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency), Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s option, to give a Termination Notice to Seller’s Representative for the Property for which there was such a condemnation.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, provided that such Seller shall assign to Purchaser (without recourse) at the Closing the rights of such Seller to the awards, if any, for the taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to contest the award and to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the applicable Property or such portion thereof.  If this Agreement is terminated in part from such condemnation to any Property or to a number of Properties, Purchaser shall proceed to Closing this Agreement with the balance of the Properties remaining and the Applicable Share of the Deposit shall be applied to the balance of the Properties remaining in contract.

14.23.    ADA Disclosure

.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Properties may be subject to the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) and the federal Fair Housing Act (the “FHA”).  The ADA requires, among other matters, that tenants and/or owners of “public accommodations” remove barriers in order to make a property accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services for hearing, vision or speech impaired persons.  Sellers make no warranty, representation or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to any Property’s compliance with the ADA or the FHA (or any similar state or local law), and Sellers expressly disclaim any such representation.

14.24.    No Recording

.  Purchaser shall not cause or allow this Agreement or any contract or other document related hereto, nor any memorandum or other evidence hereof, to be recorded or become a public record without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Sellers’ Representative.  If the Purchaser records this Agreement or any other memorandum or evidence thereof, Purchaser shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement.  Purchaser hereby appoints the Sellers’ Representative as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact to prepare and record any documents necessary to effect the nullification and release of the contract or other memorandum or evidence thereof from the public records.  This appointment shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

14.25.    Relationship of Parties

.  Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the relationship established between the parties pursuant to this Agreement is only that of a seller and a purchaser of property.  Neither Purchaser nor Sellers is, nor shall either hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.

14.26.    Waiver of Jury Trial

.  The parties hereby waive all rights to trial by jury with respect to any actions, controversy, dispute, or claim of any nature arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement (and any closing document executed in connection herewith).

14.27.    AIMCO Marks

.  Purchaser agrees that Sellers, the Property Manager or AIMCO, or their respective affiliates, are the sole owners of all right, title and interest in and to the AIMCO Marks (or have the right to use such AIMCO Marks pursuant to license agreements with third parties) and that no right, title or interest in or to the AIMCO Marks is granted, transferred, assigned or conveyed as a result of this Agreement.  Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will not use the AIMCO Marks for any purpose.

14.28.    Non-Solicitation of Employees

.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, without the express written consent of Sellers’ Representative, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s employees, affiliates or agents shall at any time solicit any Seller’s affiliates’ employees located at any property owned by such affiliates for potential employment. 

14.29.    Survival

.  Except for (a) all of the provisions of this ARTICLE 14, and (b) any provision of this Agreement which expressly states that it shall so survive, and (c) any payment obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement, including any obligations for return of the Deposit (the foregoing (a), (b) and (c) referred to herein as the “Survival Provisions”), none of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and, if the Agreement is not so terminated, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than the Survival Provisions) shall be merged into the Closing documents and shall not survive Closing.

14.30.    Multiple Purchasers

.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” means all entities acquiring any interest in any Properties at the Closing, including, without limitation, any assignee(s) of the original Purchaser pursuant to Section 14.4 of this Agreement.  In the event that “Purchaser” has any obligations or makes any covenants, representations or warranties under this Agreement, the same shall be made jointly and severally by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder.  In the event that a Seller receives notice from any entity being a Purchaser hereunder, the same shall be deemed to constitute notice from all entities being a Purchaser hereunder.  In the event that any entity being a Purchaser hereunder takes any action, breaches any obligation or otherwise acts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the same shall be deemed to be the action of the other entity(ies) being a Purchaser hereunder and the action of “Purchaser” under this Agreement.  In the event that a Seller or Sellers’ Representative is required to give notice or take action with respect to Purchaser under this Agreement, notice to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder or action with respect to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder shall be a notice or action to all entities being a Purchaser hereunder.  In the event that a Purchaser or any entity being a Purchaser hereunder is required to give notice or take action with respect to a Seller under this Agreement, notice to any entity being a Seller hereunder or action with respect to any entity being a Seller hereunder shall be a notice or action to all entities being a Seller hereunder.   In the event that any entity being a Purchaser hereunder desires to bring an action or arbitration against a Seller, such action must be joined by all entities being a Purchaser hereunder in order to be effective.  In the event that there is any agreement by a Seller to pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement to Purchaser under any circumstance, that amount shall be deemed the maximum aggregate amount to be paid to all parties being a Purchaser hereunder and not an amount that can be paid to each party being a Purchaser hereunder.  In the event that a Seller is required to return the Deposit or other amount to Purchaser, such Seller shall return the same to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder and, upon such return, shall have no further liability to any other entity being a Purchaser hereunder for such amount.  The foregoing provisions also shall apply to any documents, including, without limitation, the General Assignment and Assumption and the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Security Deposits, executed in connection with this Agreement and the transaction(s) contemplated hereby; provided that any such documents shall have the correct entity names listed as parties to such documents.

14.31.    Sellers’ Several Obligations

.  Purchaser agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the representations, warranties, obligations, and covenants of each Seller are individual and several, and not joint and several, and that each Seller is responsible and liable only for its own Property and its own representations, warranties, obligations, and covenants.  Purchaser agrees that it shall look solely to the applicable Seller for any amount due hereunder or, obligation owed hereunder, and further waives any and all claims against any other party or Property for payment or performance of the same, including, without limitation, any other Seller or AIMCO, or any partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, representative or agent of any Seller or AIMCO.

PURCHASER SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE DEBT FINANCING REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORIZED GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS OF SUCH DISTRICTS, EXISTING MILL LEVIES OF SUCH DISTRICT SERVICING SUCH INDEBTEDNESS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INCREASE IN SUCH MILL LEVIES.

14.32.2.                      Common Interest Community Disclosure

.  ONE OR MORE OF THE PROPERTIES IS LOCATED WITHIN A COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITY AND IS SUBJECT TO THE DECLARATION FOR SUCH COMMUNITY.  THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE OWNER'S ASSOCIATION FOR THE COMMUNITY AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE BYLAWS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION.  THE DECLARATION, BYLAWS, AND RULES AND REGULATIONS WILL IMPOSE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS UPON THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING AN OBLIGATION TO PAY ASSESSMENTS OF THE ASSOCIATION.  IF THE OWNER DOES NOT PAY THESE ASSESSMENTS, THE ASSOCIATION COULD PLACE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY AND POSSIBLY SELL IT TO PAY THE DEBT.  THE DECLARATION, BYLAWS, AND RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE COMMUNITY MAY PROHIBIT THE OWNER FROM MAKING CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY WITHOUT AN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BY THE ASSOCIATION (OR A COMMITTEE OF THE ASSOCIATION) AND THE APPROVAL OF THE ASSOCIATION. PURCHASERS OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION.  PURCHASERS SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE DECLARATION FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE BYLAWS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION.

14.32.3.                      Methamphetamine Laboratory Disclosure

.  The parties acknowledge that each Seller of a Colorado Property is required to disclose whether such Seller knows that its Property was previously used as a methamphetamine laboratory.  No disclosure is required if such Property was remediated in accordance with state standards and other requirements are fulfilled pursuant to § 25-18.5-102, C.R.S.  Purchaser further acknowledges that Purchaser has the right to engage a certified hygienist or industrial hygienist to test whether any of the Properties has ever been used as a methamphetamine laboratory.  If Purchaser's test results indicate that a Property has been used as a methamphetamine laboratory, but has not been remediated to meet the standards established by rules of the Colorado State Board of Health promulgated pursuant to § 25-18.5-102, C.R.S., Purchaser shall promptly give written notice to Seller's Representative of the results of the test, and Purchaser may terminate this Agreement.

14.32.4.                      Source of Potable Water

.  The water provider for each Property located in Colorado is disclosed on the Seller Information Schedule attached hereto.  SOME WATER PROVIDERS RELY, TO VARYING DEGREES, ON NONRENEWABLE GROUND WATER.

.  The provisions of this Section 15.2 apply to those properties identified on the Seller Information Schedule as “Pre 1978, Not Certified.”  Using reasonable and customary efforts, the applicable Seller shall (a) perform any testing (the “Testing”) required at its Property with respect to lead-based paint in accordance with the requirements of the Consent Agreement (the “Consent Agreement”) by and among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (executed December 19, 2001), the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (executed January 2, 2002), and AIMCO (executed December 18, 2001), and (b) if required under the Consent Agreement, as determined by such Seller and its counsel in their sole and absolute discretion, remediate or abate (the “Remediation”) any lead-based paint condition at such Property prior to the Closing using reasonable and customary efforts.  In the event that such Seller does not complete such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, prior to the Closing, such Seller shall initiate, continue or complete such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, promptly after Closing.  Purchaser shall provide such Seller with full and unimpeded access to its Property, including, without limitation, access to all units located thereon, for the purposes of completing such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, and Purchaser shall fully cooperate with such Seller regarding, and allow such Seller to perform, such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, as determined by such Seller and its counsel in their sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, allowing any alterations to such Property, to comply with the Consent Agreement, until such time as such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, has been completed.  Seller shall provide 24 hours’ notice to Purchaser in the event that access to a unit is required to perform such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement; provided, however, such Seller’s obligations hereunder after Closing shall be contingent on Purchaser’s compliance herewith, and such Seller shall be relieved of all liability and obligations regarding such Testing or Remediation or otherwise under the Consent Agreement, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, as a result of any failure by Purchaser to comply with this Section 15.2.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, the Purchaser and the applicable Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions contained herein related thereto; (2) after Closing, Purchaser agrees to undertake the obligations required by the Consent Agreement; (3) such Seller will need necessary access to the applicable Property to comply with the requirements of the Consent Agreement; (4) Purchaser will provide such access to such Property after Closing so that such Seller can comply with the requirements of the Consent Agreement; and (5) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement.  By execution hereof, Purchaser further acknowledges receipt of notice in writing of the existence of the Consent Agreement and receipt of a copy thereof.

15.3.        Consent Agreement – Pre-1978 Certified

.  The provisions of this Section 15.3 apply to those Properties identified on the Seller Information Schedule as “Pre-1978-Certified.”  Testing has been performed at each Property identified as “Pre-1978, Certified” with respect to lead-based paint.  The “LBP Consultant” identified on the Seller Information Schedule prepared the Report with respect to the Property identified therein.  A copy of each report will be provided to Purchaser with the Materials.  Each Report certifies the respective Property as lead based paint free.  By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Reports, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Statement attached hereto as Exhibit H, and acknowledges receipt of the Consent Agreement.  Because the applicable Property has been certified as lead based paint free, the applicable Seller is not required under the Consent Agreement to remediate or abate any lead-based paint condition at its Property prior to the Closing.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, Purchaser and the applicable Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions contained herein related thereto and (2) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement.

15.4.        Consent Agreement – Pre-1978-LBP, But No LBP Hazards

.  The provisions of this Section 15.4 apply to those Properties identified on the Seller Information Schedule as “Pre 1978, Lead-Based Paint Present, No Lead-Based Hazard.”  Testing has been performed at the applicable Property with respect to lead-based paint.  The “LBP Consultant” identified on the Seller Information Schedule prepared the Report with respect to the Property identified therein.  A copy of the Report with respect to the Property will provided to Purchaser with the Materials.  The Report certifies the applicable Property as free of (a) lead based hazards, (b) dust lead hazards and (c) soil lead hazards.  By execution hereof, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Report, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Statement attached hereto as Exhibit H, and the Consent Agreement.  Because the applicable Property has been certified as free of (x) lead based hazards, (y) dust lead hazards and (z) soil lead hazards, the applicable Seller is not required under the Consent Agreement to remediate or abate any lead-based paint condition at such Property prior to the Closing.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) after Closing, the Purchaser and the applicable Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions contained herein related thereto and (2) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement.
