Article IV.

CONSIDERATION

4.1 Xxxxxxx Money. Within three (3) business days after execution of this Agreement, and as a condition precedent to Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with Chicago Title Insurance Company or an affiliate thereof (the “Escrow Agent”) in Current Funds. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form of Exhibit A — Form of Escrow Agreement hereto (“Escrow Agreement”) unless and until the Xxxxxxx Money is disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. As provided in the Escrow Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be released on the sole order of the Buyer or Buyer’s attorney at any time on or before expiration of the Inspection Period. If the Closing occurs, the Xxxxxxx Money will be applied to the cash portion of the Acquisition Value due at Closing. In the event of a default by either party, the Xxxxxxx Money will be disbursed in accordance with Article XI hereof.

4.2 Assumption of Loans. As consideration for the sale of the Projects, Buyer agrees to assume the outstanding principal balances of Sellers’ loans with respect to the Properties identified on Schedule 5 — Assumable Loans attached hereto (“Assumable Loans”). The outstanding principal balance of the Assumable Loans shall be determined as of the Closing Date and shall not exceed $118,000,000 on the Closing Date. Buyer’s obligation to assume the

Assumable Loans is subject to Buyer’s receipt of any required approvals therefor from the respective lenders thereof on terms acceptable to Buyer, acting reasonably. Buyer shall exercise good faith efforts to obtain such approvals as of the Closing Date, and Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in such efforts. If Buyer is unable to obtain a required lender approval with respect to any Assumable Loan(s) by the Closing Date despite the exercise of good faith effort therefor, the Closing Date with respect to the Project(s) as to which such Assumable Loan(s) relate shall be extended to the third business day next following receipt of such approval(s) (“Approval Delay”). If, despite Buyer’s continued good faith efforts to obtain the approval(s) of lender(s) with respect to the Assumable Loan(s), Buyer is unable to obtain such approval(s), Buyer shall so notify Sellers in writing, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the applicable Project(s) associated with such Assumable Loan(s), and the Acquisition Value and applicable Seller Acquisition Value shall each be reduced by the allocable portion thereof attributable to such Project(s) (any such termination as to a Project and reduction of Acquisition Value being an “Approval Withdrawal”).

4.3 Payment of Acquisition Value. The Acquisition Value shall be paid as described in this Section 4.3. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to each Seller (a) the Seller Cash Consideration for such Seller, (b) the Seller Unit Consideration for such Seller and (c) if (and only if) a Make-Whole Notice shall have been delivered pursuant to Section 4.4, the Seller Make-Whole Cash Consideration for such Seller. The term “Seller Cash Consideration” with respect to a Seller shall be defined as Current Funds in an amount equal to (a) the Seller Consideration Amount for such Seller multiplied by (b) the Seller Cash Percentage for such Seller. The term “Seller Consideration Amount” with respect to a Seller shall equal (a) the Seller Acquisition Value for such Seller, minus (b) the principal balance as of the Closing Date of the Assumable Loans of such Seller assumed by Buyer, plus or minus (c) the adjustments and prorations provided herein with respect to the Projects owned by such Seller. The term “Seller Cash Percentage” with respect to a Seller shall be the percentage applicable to such Seller set forth on Schedule 4 – Allocation of Acquisition Value. The term “Seller Unit Consideration” with respect to a Seller shall be defined as a number of Class B Units obtained by dividing (a) the difference obtained by subtracting (1) the amount of Seller Cash Consideration for such Seller from (2) the Seller Consideration Amount for such Seller, by (b) the Stated Class B Unit Price. The term “Stated Class B Unit Price” shall be $16.75. The term “Seller Make-Whole Cash Consideration” with respect to a Seller shall be an amount equal to (a) the number of Class B Units comprising the Seller Unit Consideration for such Seller multiplied by (b) the difference obtained by subtracting (1) the Closing Class B Unit Price from (2) $16.00 (the “Minimum Class B Unit Price”). The term “Closing Class B Unit Price” shall equal the average of the closing prices of common shares of the Trust on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as reported in The Wall Street Journal for each of the 10 consecutive Trading Days in the period ending five Trading Days prior to the Closing Date. “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the NYSE is open for trading. The Stated Class B Unit Price, the Minimum Class B Unit Price and the Closing Class B Unit Price shall each be appropriately adjusted, if applicable, by the Conversion Factor (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) if the Conversion Factor shall be a number other than one (1). Each Seller shall have the right, upon written notice received from such Seller no less than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, to cause Buyer to issue the Seller Unit Consideration issuable to such Seller pursuant to this Section 4.3 to the Principals that are direct or indirect equity owners of such Seller, as described on Schedule 10 — Allocation of Seller Unit

Consideration (and the issuance by Buyer to such Principals shall satisfy the obligation of Buyer under this Section 4.3 to issue the Seller Unit Consideration to such Seller).

4.4 Special Termination Right. In the event the Closing Class B Unit Price is less than the Minimum Class B Unit Price, then Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice (a “Seller Termination Notice”) to Buyer no less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that such Seller Termination Notice shall be null and void (and such termination by Sellers shall not take effect) in the event Buyer delivers to the Sellers no less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the Closing Date a written notice (a “Make-Whole Notice”) of its intention to pay to each Seller the Make-Whole Cash Consideration applicable to such Seller at the Closing. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer.

(a) If any exceptions appear in the Title Commitments, Title Documents or Surveys that Buyer determines in good faith are unacceptable to it, then Buyer shall, within the Inspection Period, provide written notice to Sellers and Title Company of such unacceptable exception(s) (“Unpermitted Exceptions”). If Buyer fails to disapprove an item reflected therein by written notice received by Sellers and Title Company within the Inspection Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved such item. Notwithstanding the foregoing, monetary liens, other than those relating to Assumable Loans to be assumed by Buyer, are “Unpermitted Exceptions” whether or not objected to by Buyer, and must be satisfied or released at Closing

(b) Sellers may, at Sellers’ option, attempt to eliminate or modify such Unpermitted Exceptions to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, although Sellers shall not be obligated to do so, and Sellers shall provide Buyer written notice within five (5) business days of receipt of Buyer’s written notice of Sellers’ intention of whether or not to attempt to eliminate such Unpermitted Exceptions. If Sellers choose not to eliminate such condition, or if Sellers fail to give notice within the five (5) business day period set forth above of Sellers’ election to cure such condition, then within five (5) business days thereafter, Buyer may, by notice in writing to Sellers, (i) terminate this Agreement, and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer or (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to any Project(s) as to which Sellers have not agreed to eliminate the Unpermitted Exceptions, in which event the Acquisition Value shall be reduced by the allocable portion thereof attributable to such Project(s) (any such election to terminate as to a Project and reduction of the Acquisition Value being a “Project Withdrawal”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Buyer does not terminate this Agreement within such five (5) business day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have unconditionally accepted such title subject to such Unpermitted Exceptions and, if the Closing occurs, Buyer shall purchase the Projects subject to such Unpermitted Exceptions. If Sellers elect to attempt a cure, but are unable to cure an Unpermitted Exception by the Closing Date, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to Sellers, and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer. If the Buyer does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have unconditionally accepted title subject to such Unpermitted Exception and the parties shall proceed with Closing as scheduled. The matters shown on the Title Commitments and Surveys which Buyer approves or is deemed to approve pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall constitute Permitted Exceptions.

If for any reason during the Inspection Period Buyer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it does not desire to purchase the Projects, then Buyer may by notice to Sellers in writing prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer.

(a) Such Seller or Principal acknowledges that Buyer intends the offer and issuance of the Class B Units to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws by virtue of

(i) the status of such Seller or Principal as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and (ii) Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (“Regulation D”), and that Buyer will rely in part upon the representations and warranties made by such Seller or Principal in this Agreement in making the determination that the offer and issuance of the Class B Units qualify for exemption under Rule 506 of Regulation D as an offer and sale only to “accredited investors.”

(b) Such Seller or Principal is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

(c) Such Seller or Principal will acquire the Class B Units for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act (except, in the case of Class B Units received by a Seller, for the distribution of such Class B Units to a Principal). Such Seller or Principal does not intend or anticipate that it will rely on this investment as a principal source of income.

(d) Such Seller or Principal has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable him/her to evaluate the merits and risks of investment in the Class B Units. Such Seller or Principal has adequate means of providing for such Seller’s or Principal’s current and anticipated financial needs and contingencies, has the ability to bear the economic risk of acquiring the Class B Units for an indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity in the Class B Units and could afford loss of all such investment.

(e) Such Seller or Principal has been supplied with, or had access to, information to which a reasonable investor would attach significance in making an investment decision to acquire the Class B Units (including an information statement comprised of recent SEC filings) and any other information such Seller or Principal has requested. Such Seller or Principal has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Class B Units contemplated hereby.

(f) Such Seller or Principal acknowledges that such Seller or Principal is aware that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Class B Units and that the Class B Units will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and such Seller or Principal has no right to require that they be so registered. Such Seller or Principal agrees that any Class B Units it acquires will not be sold in the absence of registration unless such sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

(Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Designated Broker) whose investment banking/brokerage fee shall be paid by Sellers. Sellers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by Sellers or on Sellers’ behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

In the event Buyer fails to timely deliver written notice of termination as described above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to close the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event

Sellers shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing any proceeds actually received by Sellers attributable to such Project from such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or conveyance in lieu thereof and assign to Buyer Sellers’ rights to any such proceeds not yet received by Sellers, and there shall be no reduction in the Acquisition Value. If the taking does not involve a “substantial portion” of the Project, as herein defined, then Buyer shall be obligated to close the transaction contemplated herein according to the terms hereof, notwithstanding such taking, and Sellers shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing any proceeds actually received by Sellers attributable to such Project from such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or conveyance in lieu thereof and assign to Buyer Sellers’ rights to any such proceeds not yet received by Sellers, and there shall be no reduction in the Acquisition Value.

To exercise any rights under this Section, a Seller shall provide Buyer with a written statement stating such Seller’s intent to enter into an exchange at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date.

A Seller’s election to exchange a Project for other real estate of a like kind shall be at no cost or liability to Buyer. Should this Agreement become part of a Section 1031 transaction, the applicable Seller hereby agrees that Buyer may enforce any and all representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations of Sellers under this Agreement directly against such Seller and/or the Qualified Intermediary, and Buyer agrees that the Qualified Intermediary may enforce any covenants of Buyer under this Agreement directly against Buyer. The applicable Seller shall indemnify Buyer from any and all losses, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities sustained or incurred by reason of Buyer’s participation in the exchange.
