NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants set forth herein, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

RECITALS

Seller owns the real estate located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and the improvements thereon, commonly known as Fox Run Apartments.

Purchaser desires to purchase, and Seller desires to sell, such land, improvements and certain associated property, on the terms and conditions set forth below.

ARTICLE 1
DEFINED TERMS

Unless otherwise defined herein, any term with its initial letter capitalized in this Contract shall have the meaning set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE AND SALE, PURCHASE PRICE & DEPOSIT

2.1       Purchase and Sale.

  Seller agrees to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

2.2       Purchase Price and Deposit

2.2.1    Subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of subsection 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 below and elsewhere in this Contract, the total purchase price (“ Purchase Price ”) for the Property shall be an amount equal to Seventy Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand  Dollars ($70,350,000.00).

 

2.2.2    The Purchase Price has been agreed upon based upon an assumed tax assessed value for the Property for 2009 of Sixty Six Million Dollars ($66,000,000) (the “ Assumed Assessed Value ”).  Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is currently contesting the 2009 assessed value for the Property, and is in negotiations with the Township of Plainsboro to establish the final agreed upon assessed value for the Property for 2009 (the “ Final Actual Assessed Value ”).  If (x) the Final Assessed Value has been established prior to the Closing, and (y) the Final Assessed Value is greater than the Assumed Assessed Value, then at the Closing the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount (the “ Purchase Price Reduction Amount ”) equal to the excess of the Final Assessed Value over the Assumed Assessed Value, times the tax rate (i.e. the mill rate) for calendar year 2009, multiplied by five (5).  For illustration purposes only, if the Final Assessed Value is $68,000,000 and the 2009 tax rate is 2.1%, then the Purchase Price Reduction Amount would be equal to [($68,000,000 - $66,000,000 = $2,000,000) x 2.1% = $42,000] x 5 = $210,000. 

 

2.2.3    If (x) the Final Assessed Value has been established prior to the Closing, and (y) the Final Assessed Value is less than the Assumed Assessed Value, then at the Closing the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount (the “ Purchase Price Increase Amount ”) equal to the excess of the Assumed Assessed Value over the Final Assessed Value, times the tax rate (i.e. the mill rate) for calendar year 2009, multiplied by five (5).  For illustration purposes only, if the Final Assessed Value is $64,000,000 and the 2009 tax rate is 2.1%, then the Purchase Price Increase Amount would be equal to [($66,000,000 - $64,000,000 = $2,000,000) x 2.1% = $42,000] x 5 = $210,000.

 

2.2.4    If the Final Assessed Value has not been established prior to the Closing, then within thirty (30) days after the Final Assessed Value has been determined, (i) if the Final Assessed Value is greater than the Assumed Assessed Value, Seller shall pay the Purchase Price Reduction Amount to Purchaser  and (ii) if the Final Assessed Value is less than the Assumed Assessed Value, Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price Increase Amount to Seller.  Seller shall (x) be responsible for paying any additional transfer taxes that may be payable on the Purchase Price Increase Amount, (y) have the right to seek a refund of a portion of the transfer taxes that may have been paid in respect of the Purchase Price Reduction Amount, as the case may be.  Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with filing any supplemental transfer tax returns with respect to the foregoing provided Purchaser shall have no liability with regard thereto. The terms and provisions of this subsection shall survive the Closing.

 

2.2.5    No later than Wednesday, July 8, 2009, Purchaser shall deliver to First American Title Insurance Company of New York, 633 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017, Attention: Linda J. Isaacson, Telephone: (212) 850-0664; Fax: (212) 331-1467 (“ Escrow Agent ” or “ Title Insurer ”) a deposit (the “ Deposit ”) of  Three Million  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (“ Good Funds ”) .

 

2.2.6    The balance of the Purchase Price for the Property shall be paid to and received by Escrow Agent by wire transfer of Good Funds no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.

2.3       Escrow Provisions Regarding Deposit .

2.3.1    Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an FDIC insured account as Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion, deems suitable. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that such account may not be interest bearing.  All interest and income that accrues on the Deposit (if any) shall become part of the Deposit and shall be remitted to the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Contract.  At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all interest that accrues on the Deposit (if any).  Promptly after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall execute and deliver a Form W-9 to Escrow Agent. 

2.3.2    Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the earlier occurrence of (i) the Closing Date, at which time the Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price, or (ii) the date on which Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Deposit as set forth in Section  2.3.3.  The tax identification numbers of the parties shall be furnished to Escrow Agent upon request.

2.3.3    If prior to the Closing Date either party makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand.  If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within 5 Business Days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment.  If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such 5-Business Day period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties to this Contract or a final judgment.  However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deliver the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is located.  Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Purchaser.  Upon such deposit, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder. 

2.3.4    The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, and that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad faith in willful disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence.  Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

2.3.5    The parties shall deliver to Escrow Agent an executed copy of this Contract.  Escrow Agent shall execute the signature page for Escrow Agent attached hereto which shall confirm Escrow Agent’s agreement to comply with the terms of this Section  2.3.

2.3.6    Escrow Agent, as the person responsible for closing the transaction within the meaning of Section 6045(e)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), shall file all necessary information, reports, returns, and statements regarding the transaction required by the Code including, but not limited to, the tax reports required pursuant to Section 6045 of the Code.  Further, Escrow Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser, Seller, and their respective attorneys and brokers harmless from and against any Losses resulting from Escrow Agent’s failure to file the reports Escrow Agent is required to file pursuant to this section.

3.3.2    Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on the Property without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If Purchaser desires to perform any invasive tests, Purchaser shall give prior written notice thereof to Seller, which notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed description and plan of the invasive tests Purchaser desires to perform (including the location of any soil penetrations, borings and the like).  Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after receiving such notice from Purchaser, approve or disapprove such invasive testing.  Further, Seller shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of the Property), investigations and other matters that in Seller’s reasonable judgment could result in any injury to the Property or breach of any contract, or expose Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect the Property or Seller’s interest therein.  Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ activities pursuant to this Section.  No consent by Seller to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption of liability or risk by Seller.  Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the Property to the substantially same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article III.  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 $1,000,000.00 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 in which the Property is located.  Purchaser shall deliver proof of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section  3.3.2 to Seller (in the form of a certificate of insurance) prior to Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Consultants’ entry onto the Property.

3.4       Property Materials .

3.4.1    To the extent the same exist and are in Seller’s possession or reasonable control (subject to Section  3.4.2) Seller has heretofore provided to Purchaser the documents set forth on Schedule 4 (together with any other documents or information provided by Seller or its agents to Purchaser with respect to the Property, the “ Materials ”) or has made the same available to Purchaser on a secure web site (Purchaser agrees that any item to be delivered by Seller under this Contract shall be deemed delivered to the extent available to Purchaser on such secured web site).  To the extent that Purchaser determines that any of the Materials have not been made available or delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Section  3.4.1or Purchaser requests any other document or material related to the Property, Purchaser shall notify Seller and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly deliver the same to Purchaser.

3.4.2    In providing the Materials to Purchaser, other than Seller’s Representations, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Contract, all Materials are provided for informational purposes only and, together with all Third-Party Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to Seller (or the destruction thereof shall be certified in writing by Purchaser to Seller) if this Contract is terminated for any reason.  Recognizing that the Materials delivered or made available by Seller pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute all of such documents which are in Seller’s possession or control, but are those that are readily and reasonably available to Seller, Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to rely upon the completeness or accuracy of the Materials (except to the extent expressly set forth in Seller’s Representations or as otherwise set forth expressly in the Contract) 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 Property.

3.5       Property Contracts .

  No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may deliver written notice to Seller (the “ Property Contracts Notice ”) specifying any Property Contracts which Purchaser desires to terminate at the Closing (the “ Terminated Contracts ”); provided that (a) the effective date of such termination on or after Closing shall be subject to the express terms of such Terminated Contracts, (b) if any such Property Contract cannot by its terms be terminated at Closing, it shall be assumed by Purchaser and not be a Terminated Contract, and (c) to the extent that any such Terminated Contract requires payment of a penalty, premium, or damages, including liquidated damages, for cancellation, Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of any such cancellation fees, penalties, or damages, including liquidated damages.  If Purchaser fails to deliver the Property Contracts Notice on or before the date specified above, there shall be no Terminated Contracts and Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts at the Closing.  If Purchaser delivers the Property Contracts Notice to Seller on or before the date specified above, then Seller shall execute vendor termination notices (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F) for each Terminated Contract informing the vendor(s) of the termination of such Terminated Contract as of the Closing Date (subject to any delay in the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to the express terms of each applicable Terminated Contract) (the “ Vendor Terminations ”) and, at Closing, deliver them to all applicable vendors and provide proof of delivery to Purchaser.  To the extent that any Property Contract to be assigned to Purchaser requires vendor consent, then, prior to the Closing, Seller shall attempt to obtain from each applicable vendor a consent (each a “ Required Assignment Consent ”) to such assignment, and shall be responsible for taking any curative action or paying any fee necessary to assign any Property Contract to be assigned to Purchaser (and if any such consent is not obtained by Seller, such Property Contract(s) shall be terminated at Closing by Seller, at Seller’s expense).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.5 , at Closing, Purchaser shall assume the Property Contracts set forth on Schedule 6 attached hereto and none of such Property Contracts shall be Terminated Contracts.  The obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing. 

ARTICLE 4
TITLE

4.1.3.3 To use commercially reasonable efforts to pay or otherwise satisfy in full, or otherwise cause to be deleted from the Title Commitment (either by obtaining a full release of record of, bonding over, indemnifying or escrowing with the Title Company) all title exceptions that are capable of being removed or cured by Seller, other than Permitted Exceptions (excluding Monetary Liens which are addressed in Section 4.1.3.2 above), provided, however, Seller shall have no obligation to commence any action or pursue any litigation in order to cure (or otherwise remove) any such title exceptions.

 

4.2       Survey .

  Purchaser acknowledges that prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of an existing survey of the Property (the " Existing Survey ").  Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, order a new or updated survey of the Property (such new or updated survey, together with the Existing Survey, is referred to herein as the " Survey ").  

4.3       Permitted Exceptions .

  The Property shall be sold and conveyed subject only to the following, all of which shall be deemed “ Permitted Exceptions ”:

4.4       Existing Deed of Trust.

5.4.4    Real Estate Taxes .  Any real estate ad valorem, water and sewer rents (if applicable) and similar taxes for the Property, as well as any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, 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, with respect to any payments not yet made, 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 the Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, then the proration shall be made using an assumed tax assessed value of $64,627,200 (but only if the actual final 2009 tax assessed value for the Property has not yet been determined), times an assumed tax rate of 2.1% (but only if the actual tax rate for 2009 has not yet been determined). After the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall re-prorate the real estate taxes and assessments as soon as the actual current tax bill and assessment is available.  All amounts payable for real estate taxes and assessments accruing prior to the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Seller and all amounts payable for real estate taxes and installments of assessments accruing on or after the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Purchaser; provided that such allocation shall not affect Seller’s and Purchaser’s obligation to adjust the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any delinquent taxes, interest and/or penalties on the Property shall be paid at the Closing by the Seller; and (ii) all interest and penalties on real estate taxes or assessments determined to be owed in respect of the tax year 2009 (irrespective of whether such amounts relate to periods before, on or after the Closing), whether determined in a settlement or litigation, shall be the responsibility of Seller (other than any interest and penalties arising as a result of any late payments of taxes owed by Purchaser after the Clsoing in respect of tax year 2009, which shall be paid by Purchaser).

5.4.6.1 (i) All collected rent (whether fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating cost pass-throughs or other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases), collected income and expenses from any portion of the Property received as of the Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after the Closing Date.  Except as provided in clause (ii) below, Seller shall  be entitled to all collected rent and income attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made at the Closing  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 ”).  Purchaser agrees to bill Tenants of the Property for all Uncollected Rents and to use reasonable efforts to collect Uncollected Rents (provided that (x) Purchaser’s sole obligation in respect of such reasonable efforts shall be to bill Tenants for such Uncollected Rents and include a claim for Uncollected Rents in any claims (including, without limitation, claims made in any litigation) made by Purchaser with respect to rents owed during Purchaser’s period of ownership of the Property; and (y) if Purchaser collects any Uncollected Rents to which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Contract, then Purchaser may deduct from the amounts to be paid to Seller the pro rata share of all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses which are incurred or expended by Purchaser in such collection efforts (based on the relative proportion that the amounts to which  Seller is entitled bear to the total amounts collected)).

(ii)        In adjusting for Uncollected Rents on the closing statement at the Closing, no adjustments shall be made in Seller’s favor for rents which have accrued and are unpaid as of the Closing, but Purchaser shall pay Seller such accrued Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser if applicable pursuant to the following provisions of this clause (ii). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing, Seller shall pay over to Purchaser all amounts received by Seller that are to be calculated by reference to the documents described in Section 5.2.9(ii) above (i.e., Seller shall pay to Purchaser the portion of any rents received by Seller before the Closing which were not reflected on the closing statement but would have been credited to Purchaser thereon if the prorations on the closing statement were calculated to reflect all rents received through and including the Closing Date).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s obligation to use reasonable efforts to collect Uncollected Rents shall be limited to Uncollected Rents at any given time which are not more than 90 days past due (and after any rents become more than 90 days past due, Purchaser’s obligations to use reasonable efforts to collect such rents shall cease), and  Purchaser’s collection of rents shall be applied, first, towards current rent due and owing under the applicable Lease(s) for which such rent has been received until such time as Purchaser is current for all post-Closing periods through and including the date that the applicable rents for such Lease(s) are received, and, second, to Uncollected Rents for the applicable Lease(s) for which such rents have been received. After the Closing, Seller shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Uncollected Rents owed to Seller by any Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation, the right to commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant and the delivery of the Leases Assignment shall not constitute a waiver by Seller of such right; provided however, that the foregoing right of Seller shall be limited to actions seeking monetary damages and, in no event, shall Seller seek to evict any Tenants or terminate any Leases in any action to collect Uncollected Rents.  Purchaser agrees, at no cost or expense to Purchaser, to reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with Seller’s efforts to collect such Uncollected Rents, including, without limitation, the making available to Seller any relevant books and records (including, without limitation, rent statements, receipted bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such rent); provided, however, that Purchaser’s obligation to cooperate with Seller pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate Purchaser to terminate any Tenant lease with an existing Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from the Property.  If Seller receives any rents or other payments from Tenants after the Closing, Seller shall immediately deliver the same to Purchaser to the extent Purchaser is entitled to such rents pursuant to the terms of this sub-section 5.4.6.1(ii).  

          5.4.6.2 At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received and unapplied balance of all cash Tenant Deposits, including, but not limited to, security, damage, pet or other refundable deposits 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 held by Seller which constitutes the Tenant Security Deposit Balance shall be retained by Seller in exchange for the foregoing credit against the Purchase Price and shall not be transferred by Seller pursuant to this Contract (or any of the documents delivered at Closing), but the obligatio
