The Total Agreed Value (as reduced below) shall be paid as follows: (a) by the Project remaining subject to an Existing Mortgage lien now encumbering the Land and held by Xxxxxx Xxx and securing debt in an amount set forth on the Summary of Terms and otherwise on terms satisfactory to SCOLP (“Existing Mortgage”), provided that the holder of the Existing Mortgage consents to the transactions provided for herein pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 9.4 herein; (b) SCOLP shall issue to Contributor newly created Series C Preferred Units with an aggregate value equal to the Series C Amount set forth on the Summary of Terms, which Units shall be issued at an issue price and on the terms set forth in the Summary of Terms (the “Series C Units”); and (c) SCOLP shall issue to Contributor in the form of OP Units in SCOLP (the “OP Units”) with an aggregate value equal to the OP Amount set forth on the Summary of Terms, which Units shall be issued at an issue price and on the terms set forth on the Summary of Terms.

2.2 The Units to be issued to Contributor pursuant to the terms hereof shall be governed by SCOLP’s Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement"), a copy of which has been delivered to the Contributor and Owner, as such Partnership Agreement shall be amended on the Contribution Date to reflect the admission of Contributor as a limited partner and the issuance of, and the rights and obligations associated with, such Units. On the date hereof and on the Contribution Date, Contributor and each equity holder thereof shall execute and deliver such investment and subscription documents as SCOLP shall reasonably require in connection with the issuance of the Units and represent and warrant that Contributor or such equity holder, as the case may be, is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

3. CONDITION OF TITLE TO THE PROJECT.

3.1 Contributor hereby represents and warrants to SCOLP that Owner is the lawful owner of the Project and holds insurable and marketable title to the Land, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances other than the following matters (hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions"):

(a) Those liens, encumbrances, easements and other matters set forth on Schedule B-2 of the Commitment to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof which SCOLP does not designate as “Title Defects” pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof;

(b) The rights of parties in occupancy of all or any portion of the Land and Improvements under leases, subleases, occupancy agreements and commitments to lease, without any option to purchase or acquire any interest beyond a tenancy on the Land, except as provided under the Florida Mobile Home Act (the "Tenant Leases"), to the extent set forth and described in the Rent Roll (the "Rent Roll"), attached hereto as Exhibit "C", as the same shall be updated to the Contribution Date;

(c) All presently existing and future liens for unpaid real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements installed after the Contribution Date, and water and sewer charges and rents, subject to adjustment thereof as hereinafter provided, which are not due and payable, and such work for sewer or other public improvements as disclosed on Exhibit “D” attached hereto.

From the date hereof through the Contribution Date, none of the Owner, the Holding Company nor Contributor will cause the Project to be further encumbered by any lien, easement, restriction or any other matter.

4. EVIDENCE OF TITLE; SURVEY; UCC SEARCHES.

4.1 Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, the Owner shall furnish SCOLP with a commitment (the "Commitment") for an ALTA Form Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, issued by First American Title Insurance Company (the "Title Company"), along with copies of all instruments described in Schedule B of the Commitment (collectively, the “Exception Documents”), in the amount set forth on the Summary of Terms. At Closing, the Owner shall cause to be provided to SCOLP, an owner’s policy of title insurance issued pursuant to the Commitment, insuring the Owner’s interest in the Land without the "standard exceptions", containing such endorsements authorized in the State of Florida as SCOLP may reasonably require including such endorsements as shall provide for assignment of the proceeds of the owner’s policy to SCOLP and shall eliminate any defenses to claims which might arise as a result of the knowledge of any defect in title by the Owner, the Holding Company or the Contributor. The cost of the title insurance policy shall be borne by the parties as set forth in the Summary of Terms.

4.2 Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, the Owner shall furnish SCOLP with a copy of the most recent ALTA "as built" survey (the "Survey") of the Land prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer, and SCOLP shall, if it so elects, obtain an update to the Survey and have the same certified to Owner, SCOLP, the Title Company, and any other parties designated by SCOLP. Any update to the Survey obtained by SCOLP shall show the legal description of the Land, the total acreage of each parcel comprising the Land, all structures and improvements located thereon (other than manufactured homes and related structures not owned by Owner), all boundaries, courses and dimensions, set‑back lines, easements and rights of way (including any recording references), the location of all highways, streets and roads upon or adjacent to the Land, and the location of all utility lines and connections with such utility lines if located overhead and if located underground to be located to the extent possible and with reliance upon such records as may be appropriate. The update to the Survey shall be sufficient for removal of the standard survey exception(s) from the policy of title insurance to be issued pursuant to the Commitment and shall not reveal any of the following: (i) encroachments on the Land or any portion thereof from any adjacent property, (ii) the encroachment of any Improvements on any adjacent property, or (iii) any violation by any portion of the Improvements of any recorded building lines, setback requirements, restrictive covenants or easements affecting the Project. If the foregoing are present, they shall be treated as title defects. The cost of the update to the Survey shall be borne by the parties as set forth in Section 19.

4.3 SCOLP shall obtain Uniform Commercial Code financing statement searches and tax lien searches both from the county in the State of Florida where the Land is located, and the state of organization of each of the Xxxxxx Entities and any of the constituent entities holding an interest in the Xxxxxx Entities and the constituent entities holding interests in the entities holding an interest in the Xxxxxx Entities showing no security interests, pledges, liens, claims or encumbrances in or affecting the Project, the Membership Interests, or the membership interests in or owned by any of such constituent entities except for the Existing Mortgage and except for security interests of a definite or ascertainable amount which may be removed by the payment of money at Closing and which Owner and/or Contributor have a right to, and do, remove at Closing. The cost of the UCC searches shall be borne by SCOLP.

5. TITLE OBJECTIONS.

5.1 If the Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions which are not acceptable to SCOLP, in its sole discretion, SCOLP shall notify Owner and Contributor in writing of its objections to such exceptions (the "Title Defects") within ten (10) days after receipt of the Commitment, the Exception Documents and the Survey. If SCOLP objects to any exception disclosed on the Commitment or Survey within such ten

(10) day period, such exception shall not be treated as a Permitted Exception hereunder except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1. If Owner and Contributor fail to have the Title Defects deleted from the Commitment or Survey, as the case may be, or discharged within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from SCOLP (or such longer time period designated by SCOLP), SCOLP may: (a) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Owner and Contributor, whereupon neither Owner, Holding Company, Contributor nor SCOLP shall have any further duties or obligations under this Agreement except for any provision which shall expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; (b) elect to take title as it then is with such Title Defects becoming Permitted Exceptions under this Agreement; or (c) extend for up to ninety (90) days the period for Owner and Contributor to cure such Title Defects (thereby extending the Closing), and if such Title Defects are not deleted during the extended period, SCOLP may then exercise its rights under subparagraphs (a) or (b) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Owner nor Contributor shall be required to take any action to cure or remove any Title Defect, provided that SCOLP may pay and deduct from the Total Agreed Value, any liens or Title Defects which are of a reasonably ascertainable amount. If Owner or Contributor causes such Title Defects to be deleted from the Commitment or Survey, as the case may be, the Closing shall be held within seven (7) days after delivery of the revised Commitment and Survey or on the Contribution Date specified in Section 16 hereof, whichever is later.

6. ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

6.1 The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at the Closing between SCOLP, Owner and Contributor. The adjustments and prorations will be made by a cash payment and shall not be an adjustment to the Units to be issued at Closing.

(a) Real estate taxes and personal property taxes which are a lien upon or levied against any portion of the Project prior to the Contribution Date (other than current taxes), and all special assessments levied on any portion of the Project prior to the Contribution Date, shall be paid by Owner or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date. Current real estate and personal property taxes and assessments shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date on a calendar year basis, understanding that real estate taxes in the State of Florida are payable in arrears. Such proration shall be made on the basis of the amount of real estate and personal property taxes for the current year if and to the extent that the taxing authorities have issued statements therefor, but otherwise based on real estate taxes assessed for the current tax year plus an estimated increase of 5%. Real estate taxes and personal property taxes levied against any portion of the Project and applicable to the period after the Contribution Date shall be prorated and adjusted between the parties on a calendar year basis and shall be paid by Contributor or SCOLP, as the case may be.

(b) The amount of all unpaid water and other utility bills for the Project which are not directly billed to the tenants of the Project, and all other operating and other expenses incurred with respect to the Project and Owner, and relating to the period prior to the Contribution Date, shall be paid by Owner or Contributor on or prior to the Contribution Date or, if not paid, an amount equal to such unpaid expenses shall be part of the cash adjustment at Closing. The amount of all prepaid water and other utility bills for the Project, and all other operating and other expenses to be incurred with respect to the Project and Owner, and relating to the period after and including the Contribution Date, shall be paid by SCOLP to Contributor on the Contribution Date.

(c) Charges under Project Contracts (as defined below) attributable to the period prior to the Contribution Date shall be paid by Owner or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date, or, if not paid, the amount due shall be reserved in cash within the Owner as of the Contribution Date. Prepaid charges under Project Contracts attributable to the period after and including the Contribution Date shall be paid by SCOLP to Contributor on the Contribution Date.

(d) All rental and other revenues collected by Owner up to the Contribution Date which are allocable to the period prior to the Contribution Date, including without limit pass-through and pass-on charges, shall become a part of the disbursement from Owner to the Holding Company (and then from the Holding Company to Contributor) made pursuant to Section 6.2 below.

(e) Prepaid revenue received by the Owner attributable to the period after and including the Contribution Date including, without limit, tenant rents, pass-through charges, pass-on charges, water and other periodic revenues (the “Rents”) for the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), and Rents not delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project), shall be prorated on an accrual basis. SCOLP shall either pay the Contributor or provide the Contributor with a credit for (x) all unpaid Rents from tenants who are not delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project); and (y) the pro rata share of the total unpaid Rents for the Closing Month based upon the number of days in such month. SCOLP shall be paid or shall receive a credit for the pro rata share of the collected Rents received for the Closing Month. In addition to the foregoing, SCOLP and Contributor shall mutually agree as to the amount to be paid or credited to Contributor, if any, for Rents delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project), based upon the likelihood of collecting such Rents. In the event the parties are unable to agree, the Owner shall apply any payments received during the period between the Closing Date and the date which is ninety days after the Closing Date, first to the cost of collecting such payments, then to the most recent charges due and, thereafter, to unpaid charges due prior to Closing. Any payments received after the ninetieth day after Closing shall not be subject to pro ration. Contributor shall have no further rights following Closing with respect to such Rents. In addition to the foregoing, SCOLP shall also pay or provide Contributor with a credit for the amount of accrued but unpaid utility fees due from the tenants with respect to periods prior to Closing. To the extent any Rents allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date are collected after Closing, they shall remain the property of the Owner and/or SCOLP, and shall not be paid to or distributed to the Contributor. The Owner shall not distribute or assign to the Contributor and the Contributor shall not have the right to seek collection, through litigation or otherwise, of unpaid Rents. Any eviction actions which are on-going as of the Closing Date and the expense of any legal fees associated with such eviction actions incurred on and after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Owner after Closing and shall not be charged to Contributor. Sums received on account of such litigation shall also remain the property of the Owner and shall not be paid to the Contributor or otherwise subject to proration.

(f) An amount equal to all expenses of the Project which were paid prior to the Contribution Date and for which Owner will benefit after the Contribution Date shall be disbursed or credited to Contributor at the Closing.

(g) All compensation, fringe benefits and other amounts due the employees of Owner or the manager of the Project for the period prior to the Contribution Date, whether as hourly pay, salaries, overtime, bonus, vacation or sick pay, severance pay, pensions or otherwise, and all amounts due for the payment of employment taxes with respect thereto, shall be paid by Owner on or prior to the Contribution Date, or, if not paid, an amount equal to such entire unpaid liability shall be paid in cash at Closing.

(h) All costs and expenses incurred by Owner, the Holding Company or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorney and other professional fees, the Acquisition Loan, and the costs and expenses payable by Owner, Holding Company or Contributor hereunder (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses specified in Section 19.1 to be paid by Contributor), shall be paid by Contributor and shall not be charged to, or the responsibility of SCOLP.

(i)The amount of all escrows and reserves required under the Mortgage Documents which are on deposit on the Contribution Date shall be paid by SCOLP to the Contributor on the Contribution Date or, if not paid, an amount equal to such escrows and reserves shall be credited to Contributor in connection with the cash adjustment at Closing.

(j)In the event any rental discounts, leasing incentives or other credits, incentives or obligations have been provided to any of the occupants at the Project for any reason, and the same have not been fully satisfied by Closing, SCOLP shall be entitled to a credit or payment at Closing in the amount of such discounts, incentives or obligations.

In all events, all debts, obligations, charges, liabilities and liens with respect to the Project shall be fully paid and satisfied or credited or paid to SCOLP on the Contribution Date, except only the Existing Mortgage and the lien for taxes not yet due and payable.

6.2 On or prior to the Contribution Date, Contributor (directly or indirectly through the Holding Company) shall be entitled to a distribution from Owner in an amount equal to all of the cash and cash equivalent assets held by Owner as of the Contribution Date, after deduction for any and all costs, expenses and prorations payable by or chargeable against the Xxxxxx Entities hereunder. The Owner shall not distribute any other right, claim, cause of action or asset after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

6.3 If within ninety (90) days after the Closing either SCOLP or Contributor discovers any inaccuracies or errors in the pro rations or adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Sections 6.1 and/or 6.2, such party shall notify the other party of such inaccuracy or error by written notice including reasonable detail of the appropriate calculation. The parties shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve any issues with respect to delinquent revenue and the prorations and adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Section 6.1. After the parties resolve any such issues or, in the event the parties are unable to resolve issues, a final judgment has been rendered with respect to such matter without timely appeal or after all appeals timely

made are fully resolved, SCOLP and Contributor shall promptly take all action and pay all sums necessary so that such pro rations and adjustments shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the obligations of either party to pay any such amount shall survive the Contribution Date. Prorations and adjustments to prorations are not subject to, or included within, the Minimum Amount or Maximum Amount set forth in Section 7.3(d).

In the event the Lender requires that the liability of any guarantor provided by SCOLP in connection with the Consent to Transfer Approval, includes liability for any matter arising out of or related to the time prior to Closing, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Entities (and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx individually as to the matters set forth in Section 15.2(c)) shall hold harmless, indemnify and advance, SCOLP and/or the guarantor provided by SCOLP for any costs, claims, causes of action or assertions relating to any matter arising out of or related to the period prior to Closing. The agreements of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be subject to any of the limits (Maximum Amount, Minimum Amount or Claim Periods) set forth in Sections 7.3 or 7.4. All costs, expenses and fees payable to the Lender with respect to the Consent to Transfer and to satisfy any requirements of the Lender in accordance with the applicable Mortgage Documents (the “Assumption Costs”), including, without limitation, the Transfer Fee under the Mortgage Documents, any non-refundable application fee, attorney fees, transfer and assumption fees, administration fees, and charges and premiums for all endorsements to the Lenders’ policies of title insurance shall be borne by the parties as set forth in Section 19.

9.5 Neither SCOLP nor any manager it might employ to operate the Project is obligated to offer employment to, or hire, any employee, independent contractor or consultant of Contributor or the Owner at any time prior to or on or after the Closing. However, the Contributor and Owner each agree, on their behalf and on behalf of the current manager of the Project, that SCOLP or its manager of the Project may, in either of their sole and absolute discretion, offer employment and hire the Owner’s employee(s) or the employees of Owner’s manager of the Project, provided such employment commences on or after the Closing. Contributor and Owner each agrees not to, and to cause the current manager of the Project not to, interfere with such employment offers, if any, and shall not induce, dissuade or discourage current employee(s) from considering or accepting employment on the terms and conditions which may be offered.

9.6 The Owner and Contributor shall be responsible for providing all applicable notices under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, to all terminated employees. To the extent applicable, the Owner and Contributor agree to provide any required notice under the WARN Act and/or or any other applicable state law and to otherwise comply with any such statute(s) with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act or any applicable state counterpart statute) affecting employees and occurring before or after the Closing Date. Unless otherwise directed to the contrary in writing by SCOLP during the Investigation Period, the Owner, the Owner’s manager, the Holding Company or the Contributor shall terminate all employees effective on the Closing Date. The Xxxxxx Entities shall indemnify and hold harmless SCOLP with respect to any liability under the WARN Act or other applicable law arising from the actions taken by Contributor, Holding Company, Owner or Owner’s manager before or after the Closing Date.

9.7 Notwithstanding SCOLP’s right to terminate this Agreement and to elect not to close, the parties agree that this Agreement constitutes a purchase agreement and is not an option to purchase. In conformation of this fact, the parties agree that SCOLP has extended significant consideration in the form of the Acquisition Loan and that SCOLP would not have extended such consideration absent the entry into this Agreement. Furthermore, SCOLP has expended significant consideration by pursuing the acquisition of the Membership Interests which has prevented it from pursuing other acquisitions and involved the expenditure of time and costs necessary to review due diligence and other matters. The Xxxxxx Entities waive any right to contest the characterization of this Agreement as an option rather than a purchase agreement.

10. CONDITIONS.

10.1 The obligation of SCOLP to consummate the acquisition of the Membership Interests is expressly conditioned upon the following, each of which constitutes a condition precedent to the obligations of SCOLP hereunder which, if not performed or determined to be acceptable to SCOLP on or before the Contribution Date (unless a different time for performance is expressly provided herein), shall permit SCOLP, at its sole option (understanding SCOLP may proceed to close upon the failure of any condition and preserve its remedies hereunder), to declare this Agreement null and void and of no further force and effect by written notice to Contributor, whereupon none of Contributor, the Owner, the Holding Company nor SCOLP shall have any further obligations hereunder to the other except for any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement (provided that SCOLP shall have the right to waive any one or all of such conditions):

(a) SCOLP has not terminated this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Investigation Period as provided in Section 9.1 herein.

(b) On the Contribution Date, title to the Project and the Membership Interests shall be in the condition required by this Agreement and the Title Company shall be in a position to issue the title policy pursuant to the Commitment.

(c) The Contributor, Owner and Holding Company shall have complied with and performed all covenants, agreements and conditions on their part to be performed under this Agreement within the time herein provided for such performance.

(d) The representations, warranties and agreements of Contributor, Owner and the Holding Company contained herein and in all documents and agreements executed pursuant hereto are and shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Contribution Date in all material respects.

(e) From and after the date hereof to the Contribution Date, there shall have been no material adverse change in or to the Project, the business conducted thereon, Owner or the Holding Company.

(f) No action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall have been instituted before any court or governmental body, or instituted by any governmental agency, to restrain or prevent consummation of the transactions under this Agreement or which would affect the right of SCOLP to own, operate and control the Holding Company, the Owner or the Project.

(g) The Consent to Transfer Approval shall have been obtained on terms and conditions satisfactory to SCOLP. If SCOLP is unable to obtain a satisfactory Consent to Transfer Approval within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to the immediately following sentence (the “Approval Deadline Date”), then SCOLP shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice of such termination given to Contributor and Owner on or before the Approval Deadline Date then in effect. SCOLP has the right to extend the Approval Deadline Date by one sixty (60) day period by notice of such extension given to Owner and Contributor prior to the Approval Deadline Date then in effect. If SCOLP does not give this notice on or before the Approval Deadline Date, then this condition shall be deemed waived by SCOLP. If the Consent to Transfer Approval is not obtained and SCOLP fails or elects not to terminate this Agreement, SCOLP shall be required to satisfy the Existing Mortgage and pay any prepayment fee, premium or penalty as set forth in the Existing Mortgage or related documents. The payment of any prepayment fee, premium or penalty shall be in addition to the Total Agreed Value and shall not reduce the Units to be issued to Contributor at Closing.

(h) Closing pursuant to the terms of All of the Other Acquisition Agreements contemporaneously with the Closing under this Agreement is a condition of Closing under this Agreement unless the failure to close any of All of the Other Acquisition Agreements is due to the default of SCOLP (or other purchaser, as appropriate) under such agreements; or unless the failure to close any of All of the Other Acquisition Agreements is due to the exercise of a right to terminate in connection with casualty or condemnation of a project.

(i) In the event a duly organized homeowners’ association operates at the Project, or it is otherwise determined Section 723.071 of the Florida Statute applies to the Project, the Contributor’s special legal counsel shall deliver to Contributor a legal opinion (at SCOLP’s sole cost and expense), in form and substance satisfactory to SCOLP and Contributor and upon which they may rely, as to the full compliance of this transaction with Section 723.071 of the Florida Statutes. In the alternative, the Contributor shall obtain and provide for the benefit of SCOLP a fully enforceable waiver of any rights under Section 723.071 in form and substance sufficient to enable the Title Company to eliminate any exception resulting from such statute.

10.2 The obligation of Contributor to consummate the contribution of the Membership Interests is expressly conditioned upon the following, each of which constitutes a condition precedent to the obligations of Contributor hereunder which, if not performed or determined to be acceptable to Contributor on or before the Contribution Date (unless a different time for performance is expressly provided herein), shall permit Contributor, at its sole option (understanding Contributor may proceed to close upon the failure of any condition and preserve its remedies hereunder), to declare this Agreement null and void and of no further force and effect by written notice to the SCOLP, whereupon none of Contributor, the Owner, the Holding Company nor SCOLP shall have any further obligations hereunder to the other except for any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement (provided that Contributor shall have the right to waive any one or all of such conditions):

(a) SCOLP shall have complied with and performed all covenants, agreements and conditions on its part to be performed under this Agreement within the time herein provided for such performance.

(b) The representations, warranties and agreements of SCOLP contained herein

and in all documents and agreements executed pursuant hereto are and shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Contribution Date in all material respects.

(d) No action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall have been instituted before any court or governmental body, or instituted by any governmental agency, to restrain or prevent consummation of the transactions under this Agreement.

(e) The Consent to Transfer Approval shall have been obtained on terms and conditions satisfactory to Contributor or SCOLP shall have fully satisfied the Existing Mortgage and paid any prepayment fee, premium or penalty without reduction in the Units to be issued to the Contributor at Closing.

(f) Closing pursuant to the terms of All of the Other Acquisition Agreements contemporaneously with the Closing under this Agreement is a condition of Closing under this Agreement unless the failure to close any of All of the Other Acquisition Agreements is due to the default of the Owner, Holding Company or Contributor (or other seller, as appropriate) under such agreements; or unless the failure to close any of All of the Other Acquisition Agreements is due to the exercise of a right to terminate in connection with casualty or condemnation of a project; or unless any party which is entitled to do so is exercising its rights to purchase any project subject to any of the Other Contribution Agreements pursuant to Section 723.071 of the Florida Statutes.

(g) In the event a duly organized homeowners’ association operates at the Project, or it is otherwise determined Section 723.071 of the Florida Statute applies to the Project, the Contributor’s special legal counsel shall deliver to Contributor a legal opinion (at SCOLP’s sole cost and expense), in form and substance satisfactory to SCOLP and Contributor and upon which they may rely, as to the full compliance of this transaction with Section 723.071 of the Florida Statutes. In the alternative, the Contributor shall obtain and provide for the benefit of SCOLP a fully enforceable waiver of any rights under Section 723.071 in form and substance sufficient to enable the Title Company to eliminate any exception resulting from such statute.

10.3 The parties acknowledge that the Total Agreed Value provided for in the Summary of Terms was arrived at after giving due consideration to the tax treatment of this transaction by the Contributor and SCOLP. A cash payment to the Contributor in exchange for the Membership Interests would trigger a significantly greater present tax liability than is the case under the transaction provided for in this Agreement. Should SCOLP, for reasons outside of its control, be unable to issue Units to the Contributor at Closing, the cash purchase price will be the amount set forth on the Summary of Terms and SCOLP shall make an additional deposit equal to 5% of such cash purchase price, which additional deposit, once made, shall be part of the Deposit be returned, retained or distributed as provided herein.

11. OPERATION OF PROJECT.

11.1 From and after the date hereof to the Closing Date, Contributor shall: (a) continue to maintain, operate, lease and conduct business at the Project consistent in all material respects with past practices and in accordance with the terms of the current applicable prospectus; (b) not execute any Tenant Leases (or modify or amend any current Tenant Leases) except with respect to leases to residents of the Project entered into in the ordinary course of business, at market rates and not in conflict with a specific

provision hereof; (c) maintain in effect all insurance policies now maintained on the same, or replacement or renewal policies providing substantially the same or greater coverage (to the extent available); (d) not grant any easements or encumber the Project in any way, except only if in the ordinary course of business and the same are approved by SCOLP; (e) not dispose of Personal Property unless obsolete and then only if replaced with new replacement property; (f) not otherwise sell, assign or convey any right, title or interest in any part of the Project. On the Closing Date the Owner shall provide (or cause its managing agent to provide) SCOLP with all of the electronic data pertaining to the tenancies of the then-current tenants under the Tenant Leases to permit SCOLP to transition the billing of the tenants and administer the Tenant Leases and the historical date for such Tenant Leases.

In addition, from and after the Effective Date and through the Closing Date, Contributor shall, and shall cause the Owner to:


(i)	provide SCOLP with monthly operating statements for the Project;


(ii)	provide SCOLP with the weekly management reports prepared by the manager of the Project and including such reasonable detail as SCOLP may request;


(iii)	upon request, confer on a regular basis with one or more representatives of SCOLP to report on operational matters of materiality and any proposals to engage in material transactions;


(iv)	promptly notify SCOLP of any material emergency or other material change in the condition of the Project, any material governmental complaints set forth in writing it receives, and investigations or hearings of which Contributor receives written notice;


(v)	cause the Holding Company and Owner to not acquire, enter into an option to acquire, or exercise an option or other right or election under any other commitment or contractual obligation for the acquisition of any real property, in each case without the prior written approval of SCOLP;


(vi)	cause the Holding Company and the Owner not to incur or enter into any commitment to incur additional indebtedness (secured or unsecured) except for indebtedness that will be repaid at or prior to Closing;


(vii)	not sell, mortgage or otherwise dispose of the Project;


(viii)	not sell, lease, mortgage or otherwise dispose of any Personal Property except in the ordinary course of business;

(ix)

provide SCOLP, its employees, agents, and representatives with reasonable access to the Project during business hours as reasonably necessary to facilitate SCOLP taking over operation of the Project after Closing, provided that any such access shall be in compliance with the Agreement and shall not interfere with operation of the Project or with the Project personnel’s discharge of their duties;


(x)	provide rent rolls for the Project once per month;


(xi)	terminate the Project Contracts which SCOLP has elected to have terminated, all without cost or liability to SCOLP or the Owner post Closing.

12. CERTAIN TAX COVENANTS.

12.1 Straddle Period.

(a) The Xxxxxx Entities, and SCOLP agree that the taxes related to any tax period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing (“Straddle Period”) with respect to the Owner ending on the Closing Date shall be treated as provided herein. In the case of any real, personal and intangible ad valorem property Taxes (“Property Taxes”), the Property Taxes shall be allocated as provided in Section 6.1 herein. Taxes other than Property Taxes shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the date of Closing.

(b) To the extent the Xxxxxx Entities are required by law to file a Tax Return, the Xxxxxx Entities shall prepare and file all Tax Returns for the activities of each of the Holding Company and Owner for any taxable period that ends on or before the date of Closing (the “Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns”) in a manner consistent with past practices and shall remit the Taxes shown as owing on such Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns in a due and timely manner. The Xxxxxx entities shall submit such Pre Closing Date Tax Returns to SCOLP at least ten (10) business days prior to the date such Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns are due (inclusive of all allowable extensions). The Xxxxxx Entities shall give due consideration to such changes as SCOLP reasonably requests and shall not file any Pre Closing Date Tax Returns without SCOLP’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) SCOLP shall prepare and duly and timely file or cause to be duly and timely filed all Tax Returns for the activities of the Holding Company and Owner for any taxable period that ends after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Date Tax Returns”). SCOLP shall provide the Contributor with a copy of any Post-Closing Date Tax Return to be filed by or with respect to the Holding Company or the Owner for any Straddle Period at least ten (10) business days prior to the date such Post-Closing Date Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (inclusive of all allowable extensions). SCOLP shall give due consideration to such changes as the Contributor reasonably requests and shall not file any Post-Closing Date Tax Returns covering a Straddle Period without the Contributor’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, condition or delayed).

12.2 Tax Protections.

(a) Subject to Section 12.2(a) (i) and (ii) below, for the benefit of the Contributor (including any person who holds an interest in Contributor, either directly or through one or more pass-through or disregarded entities and is otherwise required to include all or a portion of the income of such Contributor in its own gross income) who receives Units at the Closing (the “Protected Partners”), prior to the termination of the Protection Period (as defined below) with respect to the Project, neither SCOLP, nor any entity in which SCOLP holds a direct or indirect interest, will consummate a sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of the Project or a successor project acquired in a Section 1031 exchange or any other non-recognition transaction in which a substituted basis or carryover basis is applied (each, a “Protected Project”) or any indirect interest therein, in a transaction (including a merger) that results in the recognition by any Protected Partner, for federal income tax purposes, of all or any portion of the built-in gain under Section 704(c)(1) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this covenant shall not apply to any transferee of Units by a Protected Partner whose tax basis has been determined under Sections 1014 or 1012 of the Code. In the event that SCOLP breaches this Section 12.2, SCOLP shall pay to each Protected Partner: if the breach occurs during the first one half of the Protection Period, an amount equal to the federal, state and local income taxes incurred by such Protected Partner as a result of such breach and arising solely under Section 704(c); and if the breach occurs during the remaining period of the Protection Period, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the federal, state and local income taxes incurred by such Protected Partner solely as a result of such breach and arising solely under Section 704 (c), over (B) the net present value of such taxes, as of the date such Protected Partner actually pays such taxes, assuming for this purpose that payment of such taxes had been made on the last day of the applicable Protection Period and using a discount rate equal to five (5%) percent. Within ninety (90) days after the closing of a transfer or other transaction giving rise to a breach requiring a payment hereunder, SCOLP shall provide to each of the Protected Partners an estimate of such Protected Partner’s allocable share of the Section 704(c) gain from such transaction, and an estimate of total taxes payable based on the highest marginal rates applicable to such Protected Partner for all federal, state, and local tax purposes. SCOLP shall pay such Protected Partner cash equal to the estimated amount of taxes payable as so calculated. If it is later determined that the taxes payable by the Protected Partner with respect to such gain exceeds the estimated amount calculated and paid by SCOLP, then, SCOLP shall pay such excess to such Protected Partners within ninety (90) days after demand is made therefor, and if it is determined the estimated amount calculated and paid by SCOLP exceeds the amount required to be paid by the Protected Partner with respect to such gain, then the Protected Partner shall refund such excess to SCOLP within thirty (30) days of such request. The parties shall

cooperate in confirming the determinations referenced in the prior sentence by providing copies of tax returns and certifications from certified public accountants at the request of either party.

(i) For purposes of this Section 12.2(a), “Protection Period” shall mean, the Protection Period set forth in the Summary of Terms.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 12.2 (a) shall not apply to: (A) any transaction which would not result in the recognition and allocation of any built-in gain to any Protected Partner, including, without limitation, to the extent a transaction which qualifies as a tax-free like-kind exchange under Code Section 1031 or a tax-free contribution under Code Section 721 or Code Section 351 or a tax-free merger or consolidation of SCOLP (or any subsidiary) with or into another entity that qualifies for taxation as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or (B) the condemnation or other taking of all or any portion of any Protected Project by a governmental entity or authority in eminent domain proceedings or otherwise or a casualty with respect thereto (each, a “Permitted Transfer”). In the case of a Permitted Transfer, SCOLP shall use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to structure such disposition as either a tax-free like-kind exchange under Code Section 1031 or other tax-free contribution or tax-free reinvestment of proceeds under Code Section 1033; provided, that, commercially reasonable efforts shall not require SCOLP to pay additional amounts to purchase replacement property over and above the proceeds of the Permitted Transfer.

(b) SCOLP shall use, and shall cause any other entity in which SCOLP has a direct or indirect interest to use, the “traditional method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) for purposes of making allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to the Project to take into account the book-tax disparities as of the effective time of the contribution with respect to the Project and with respect to any revaluation of the Project pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) and 1.704-3(a)(6) with no “curative allocations,” “remedial allocations” or adjustments to other items to offset the effect of the “ceiling rule.”

(c) SCOLP will allocate, in accordance with the Treasury Regulations, to each Protected Partner an amount of “excess nonrecourse liabilities,” as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), up to the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to such Protected Partner with respect to each property acquired by SCOLP to the extent that each such property is subject to nonrecourse liabilities and such Protected Partner’s built-in gain with respect to each such property exceeds his gain with respect thereto described in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2).

(d) SCOLP shall make available to each Protected Partner the opportunity to either: (A) enter into a deficit restoration obligation (DRO) or (B) make a guarantee (or, at the option of such Protected Partner, allow its indirect owners to make such a guarantee) of unsecured debt or secured debt of SCOLP, in such amount or amounts so as to cause the amount of SCOLP liabilities allocated to such Protected Partner for purposes of Section 752 of the Code to be not less than such Protected Partner’s Desired Liability Amount and to cause the amount of SCLOP liabilities with respect to which such Protected Partner will be considered to be “at risk” for purposes of Section 465 of the Code to be not less than such Protected Partner’s Desired Liability Amount. For purposes of this Section 12.2(d), the term “Desired Liability Amount” shall mean, with respect to each Protected Partner, a specific amount agreed to by SCOLP, which generally will be equal to the amount that would allow such Protected Partner to avoid gain recognition as a result of a reduction in liabilities

allocated to the Protected Partners for federal income tax purposes as a result of the contribution transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto intend and agree that, for federal income tax purposes, the contribution by the Contributor to SCOLP as provided in this Agreement, shall constitute a transaction qualifying under Section 721(a) of the Code. SCOLP represents that it is not an investment company for purposes of Code Section 721(b). Contributor and SCOLP agree to the tax treatment described in this Section 12.2(e), and each shall file its respective tax returns consistent with the above-described transaction structure.

13. DESTRUCTION OF PROJECT.

13.1 In the event any part of the Project shall be damaged or destroyed prior to the Contribution Date, Contributor shall notify SCOLP thereof, which notice shall include a description of the damage and all pertinent insurance information. If the use or occupancy of the Project is materially affected by such damage or destruction or the cost to repair such damage or destruction exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), SCOLP shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notifying Contributor within ten (10) days following the date SCOLP receives notice of such occurrence or on the Contribution Date, whichever occurs first, whereupon none of Contributor, Owner, the Holding Company nor SCOLP shall have any further obligation hereunder to each other except for any provision which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement. If SCOLP does not elect to terminate this Agreement, or shall fail to timely notify Contributor, prior to the Contribution Date the parties shall take all action necessary to assure Owner's right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of the fire and extended coverage insurance presently carried by or payable to Owner.

14. CONDEMNATION.

14.1 If, prior to the Contribution Date, either Owner, the Holding Company, Contributor or SCOLP receives or obtains notice that any governmental authority having jurisdiction intends to commence or has commenced proceedings for the taking of any portion of the Project by the exercise of any power of condemnation or eminent domain, or notice of any such taking is recorded among the public records of the county in which the Land is located, and such taking results in a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) of the number of home sites within the Project or such taking will otherwise have a material adverse effect on the operation of the Project, SCOLP shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by notifying Contributor within ten (10) days following SCOLP's receipt of such notice or on the Contribution Date, whichever is earlier, in which event none of Contributor, Owner, the Holding Company nor SCOLP shall have any other or further liability or responsibility hereunder to the other except for any provision which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement. If SCOLP does not elect or does not have the right to terminate this Agreement or shall fail to timely notify Contributor, SCOLP shall close the transaction as if no such notice had been received, obtained or recorded or proceedings commenced, and in such event, any proceeds or awards made in connection with such taking shall be the sole property of Owner, and not Contributor.

15. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

15.1 SCOLP does not and shall not assume any liability for any claims arising out of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition prior to the Contribution Date with respect to the Project, and all accounts payable, obligations and liabilities of Owner, accrued or unaccrued, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or liquidated, incurred prior to the Contribution Date or arising out of events or occurrences prior to the Contribution Date, including without limit, claims for personal injury or death (collectively, the "Pre‑Contribution Liabilities") shall be the responsibility of, and paid by, Contributor excluding only the Existing Mortgage and interest accruing thereunder after the Closing.

15.2 (a) Contributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Owner, Holding Company and SCOLP, from and against any and all claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, actions, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of, as a result of or as a consequence of: (a) the Pre-Contribution Liabilities, which include, without limitation, (i) any property damage or injuries to persons, including death, caused by any occurrence at the Project or resulting from Owner's use, possession, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project prior to the Contribution Date, (ii) any breach of any obligations under the Tenant Leases or Prospectus which occurred prior to the Contribution Date including without limit, improper billing or pass through of utility or other charges, or as a result of Owner not having reserved cash as of the Contribution Date equal to the amount of all security deposits to be held under the Tenant Leases, (iii) any breach of Owner's obligations under the Project Contracts which occurred prior to the Contribution Date or obligations arising as a result of any cost incurred for terminating the Project Contracts at SCOLP’s direction given prior to Closing, (iv) the failure to pay transfer taxes or other fees if the same are determined to be due, (v) the termination of the employees of Owner or the manager of the Project on or prior to the Contribution Date pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, (vi) clean up costs and future response costs incurred by Owner or SCOLP under the Environmental Laws as a result of a determination by a court or governmental authority having jurisdiction for events or occurrences prior to the Contribution Date, (vii) all costs and expenses required to be paid by Contributor under Sections 6.1 and/or 19.1, and (viii) any claim, cause of action, cost or demand, made or asserted by Guarantor (as defined in that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement entered into by Contributor and with respect to which the Acquisition Loan has been made), its successors and assigns, whether against the Holding Company, Owner, Project, SCOLP or any party affiliated with any of the foregoing (“Torchlight Claim”) and (b) any breach by Contributor or Owner of any of their representations, warranties, or obligations set forth herein or in any other document or instrument delivered by Contributor or Owner in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein subject to the Claim procedures and limitations set forth in Section 7.3.

(b) Any claim for indemnity under Section 15.2 (a) may be made against the Security.

(c) Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx shall personally and unconditionally guarantee as a guarantee of payment and not performance, as a primary obligation and not secondary, (i) any Claim based upon or arising out of any type of fraud; (ii) any claim made against SCOLP or any entity affiliated with SCOLP by the holder of the Existing Mortgage under any so-called recourse or carve out guaranties for matters arising or existing prior to the Closing; and (iii) any Torchlight Claim.

15.3 From and after the Contribution Date, SCOLP agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Contributor from and against any and all claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, actions, causes of action,

costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), arising out of, as a result of or as a consequence of: (i) any breach of the lessor's obligations under the Tenant Leases which occurs subsequent to the Contribution Date; (ii) any breach of SCOLP's obligations under the Project Contracts which SCOLP has not directed be terminated and which may occur subsequent to the Contribution Date; (iii) any property damage or injuries to persons, including death, caused by the occurrence of any event at the Project after the Contribution Date or in connection with the SCOLP’s use, possession, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project after the Contribution Date; (iv) any breach by SCOLP of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations set forth herein or in any other document or instrument delivered by the SCOLP in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein; (v) any failure by SCOLP to pay costs and expenses relating to the operation of the Project and conditions arising with respect to the Project after Closing and as otherwise provided in Sections 19.2 herein; (vi) any liability for any claims arising out of the occurrence of any event or any condition occurring on or after the Contribution Date with respect to the Project (specifically excluding matters of a continuing nature which exist on the Contribution Date and existed prior to such date as well), (vii) all accounts payable, obligations and liabilities of Owner, accrued or unaccrued, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or liquidated, incurred on or after the Contribution Date or arising out of events or occurrences occurring on or after the Contribution Date; and (viii) any payment or other liability under the Existing Mortgage due or arising on or after the Contribution Date.

17.	DEFAULT.

(a) In the event all or any of the Xxxxxx Entities shall fail to perform any of their obligations under this Agreement or there is breach by any of them of the representations and warranties herein and all of the conditions to be performed as a condition to the obligations of the Xxxxxx Entities have been performed (but acknowledging that SCOLP is not required to issue Units to the Contributor to satisfy conditions to performance upon a breach by the Xxxxxx Entities), the Xxxxxx Entities shall have ten days from receipt of notice of default from SCOLP within which to cure the specified default. If such default is not cured within said ten day period and if such default is not waived in writing by SCOLP, then SCOLP, at its option, as its sole remedies and waiving all others which may be available, shall be entitled to: (i) demand by written notice that the Xxxxxx Entities shall immediately pay to SCOLP, the sum of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) in immediately available funds by wire transfer and upon receipt of such funds, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and no party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder except as may only be expressly provided herein to survive the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) obtain specific performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As to any action for specific performance, each of the Xxxxxx Entities acknowledges that the Project is unique and that notwithstanding the fact that no conveyance of the real estate is occurring by deed and that equity interests which might arguably be considered generic without unique characteristics are being transferred to effect the acquisition of the Project, without specific performance being available against the Contributor and the Owner, SCOLP would be without an

adequate remedy at law. Each of the Xxxxxx Entities waives, releases and relinquishes their right to assert that specific performance is not an appropriate remedy against each of them as to the transactions in this Agreement.

(b) In the event SCOLP shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or there is breach by it of its representations and warranties herein and all of the conditions to be performed as a condition to SCOLP’s obligations have been performed (but acknowledging that the Xxxxxx Entities are not required to transfer Membership Interests to SCOLP to satisfy conditions to performance upon a breach by SCOLP), SCOLP shall have ten days from receipt of notice of default from the Xxxxxx Entities within which to cure the specified default. If such default is not cured within said ten day period and if such default is not waived in writing by the Xxxxxx Entities, then the Xxxxxx Entities, at their option and as their sole remedy and waiving all others which may be available, shall be entitled to demand by written notice that SCOLP immediately pay to the Xxxxxx Entities, the sum of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) in immediately available funds by wire transfer and upon receipt of such funds, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and no party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder except as may only be expressly provided herein to survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) SCOLP and the Xxxxxx Entities have agreed to fix the remedies for a breach of this Agreement as provided in this Section 17. The parties agree that these remedies shall be in lieu of any other monetary relief or other remedy, at law or in equity. The parties agree that to the extent the remedies agreed to constitute liquidated damages, the same are reasonable and are a reasonable means of agreeing to damages which might otherwise be difficult or impossible to ascertain. The parties specifically and without limit waive any right to claim exemplary or punitive damages or lost profits. The party which is determined to be the substantially prevailing party in any action regarding this Agreement shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party its actual costs including actual attorneys’ fees.

18. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

18.1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following respective meanings:

(i) “Restricted Area” means any location within a ten (10) mile radius of the Project.

(ii) “Restricted Employee” means any person who was an employee of any of the Xxxxxx Entities or the manager of the Project immediately prior to the Closing and who is an employee of SCOLP, any affiliate of SCOLP or the manager of the Project or any other Project subject to any of the Other Contribution Agreements at the time of determination.

(iii) “Restricted Period” means a period beginning on the date of Closing and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof.

(iv) “Restricted Resident” means any natural person who was a Tenant or occupant of the Project immediately prior to the Closing and who is a Tenant or occupant at the time of determination.

18.2. Non-Solicitation of Restricted Employees. During the Restricted Period, neither the Contributor nor any of its affiliates, including, without limit, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx and any entities owned or controlled by them (“Xxxxxx Restricted Parties”), shall directly or indirectly (i) solicit, induce or attempt to induce a Restricted Employee to leave his or her employment by SCOLP or any affiliate of SCOLP or the manager of the Project, or to accept any other employment or position, or (ii) hire any Restricted Employee.

18.3. Non-Solicitation of Restricted Residents. During the Restricted Period, none of the Xxxxxx Restricted Parties shall in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to induce a Restricted Resident to leave the Project or to move to any other manufactured home facility.

18.4. Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period, none of the Xxxxxx Restricted Parties shall in any manner (including as an employer, stockholder, partner, member, consultant, advisor, proprietor, lender, equity owner, manager, representative or agent), directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any activity that directly or indirectly competes with the Project anywhere within the Restricted Area.

18.5. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Each of the Xxxxxx Restricted Parties, on their own behalf and on behalf of any affiliate, expressly acknowledge and agree that the restrictions imposed by Sections 18.2, 18.3 and 18.4 above (i) are reasonable as to time, activity and geographic scope; (ii) are not oppressive; and (iii) were bargained for by the parties with full knowledge and understanding of their implications and legal effect.

18.6. Unique Nature of Obligations. The parties hereto recognize that the obligations of the Xxxxxx Restricted Parties under Sections 18.2, 18.3 and 18.4 above are of special, unique and extraordinary character. Accordingly, if any of the Xxxxxx Restricted Parties shall breach or fail to perform, or threaten to breach or fail to perform, any term, condition or duty in such Sections 18.2, 18.3 or 18.4 required to be observed or performed by it, then in such event SCOLP shall be entitled to specific enforcement thereof without the posting of bond or proof of actual damages, and each of the Xxxxxx Restricted Parties agree (on their own behalf and on behalf of each of their affiliates) not to oppose such relief. The remedy set forth in this Section 18.6 is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other remedies that SCOLP or any affiliate of SCOLP may have at law or in equity.

18.7. Survival. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the Closing and shall not terminate during the Restricted Period. The substantially prevailing party under any action brought under this Section 18 shall be entitled to collect actual costs of such action, including actual attorneys’ fees, from the non-prevailing party.

19. COSTS.

19.1 Contributor shall pay: (a) the documentary, intangible and transfer taxes, if any, due on the conveyance of the Membership Interest to SCOLP; (b) one half of the Assumption Costs; (c) the costs for its counsel; and (d) such other costs as are required to be paid by the Xxxxxx Entities as provided herein.

19.2 SCOLP shall pay: (a) the Survey costs and the costs of any third party reports or updates it orders or obtains in connection with its review of the Project during the Investigation Period; (b) one-half of the Assumption Costs; (c) the costs for its counsel; and (d) such other costs as are required to be paid by SCOLP as provided herein.

21. NOTICES, ETC.

All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, by facsimile or registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties hereto at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 21):
