On the Closing Date,

(b)Purchaser will deliver the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to be held in an escrow account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.04Adjustment for Tier 2 Income.

(a)The Purchase Price shall be reduced by 25% of the amount (if any) by which (i) the ATAX Tier 2 Income for fiscal year 2019 does not exceed the maximum amount of ATAX Tier 2 Income allowed under the ATAX Partnership Agreement; and (ii) the ATAX Tier 2 Income for fiscal year 2020 does not exceed the maximum amount of ATAX Tier 2 Income allowed under the ATAX Partnership Agreement.

(b)If a Tier 2 Shortfall occurs at the end of fiscal 2019 or the end of fiscal 2020, Purchaser shall be authorized to recover 25% of such Tier 2 Shortfall from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2.04(c) below, but only to the extent of funds remaining in the Escrow Account. Such ability to recover 25% of such Tier 2 Shortfall from the Escrow Account shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy for the occurrence of a Tier 2 Shortfall.

(c)If the ATAX Tier 2 Income reported in the ATAX Consolidated Statement of Partners’ Capital filed with the Commission for fiscal 2019 or fiscal 2020 reflects a Tier 2 Shortfall, the Purchaser shall provide written notification to the Sellers, and upon request reasonable documentation supporting the calculation, and within five (5) business days, Sellers and Purchaser shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay 25% of the Tier 2 Shortfall to Purchaser from the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

The Company GP will take all action necessary to amend the Equity Incentive Plan to permit Purchaser to exercise all rights and authorities of the Company GP under the Equity Incentive Plan, including any SEC reporting and disclosure to participants, subject to reasonable review by Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party’s delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent (and limited solely to the extent) of any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party by such failure or delay, provided that such Claim Notice is provided within the applicable Survival Period.

(b)In the event that any Proceeding is instituted or any Claim is asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 8.02 and

in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all of such Indemnified Party’s Loss (subject to any applicable limitations in this Article VIII) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of the same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, it shall within 30 days notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. Subject to Section 8.03(c), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remedial action with respect to any such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, unless separate representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel is reasonably necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and, in the event the Third Party Claim is determined to be a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party may not settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree or permit default without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, in each case, that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a binding, irrevocable, written release of any Indemnified Party from all Liability, (ii) provides for any admission of Liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, (iii) requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party or (iv) imposes any Liability or continuing obligation on or could potentially require any payment from any Indemnified Party.

Section 8.04Limitations.

(a)No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(b)(i) until the total of all Losses claimed by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect thereto exceeds $300,000 in the aggregate (the “Claim Basket”), at which point, subject to Section 8.04(b), Sellers shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Party from and against all Losses from the first dollar, provided, however, that the Claim Basket shall not apply to (i) any Loss resulting from the breach of any Fundamental Representations, (ii) any Loss resulting from fraud on the part of Company or a Seller, or (iii) for purposes of clarification, the obligations of Sellers under Sections 8.02(a)(ii), 8.02(b)(ii), 8.02(b)(iii) or 8.02(b)(iv).

(b)The maximum amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i), or Section 8.02(b)(i), will be equal to, in the aggregate, $7,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided that, the Cap shall equal the Purchase Price for any Loss resulting from a breach of any Fundamental Representations and the Cap shall not apply to (i) any Loss resulting from fraud on the part of Company or a Seller or (ii) for purposes of clarification, the obligations of Sellers under Sections 8.02(a)(ii), 8.02(b)(ii), 8.02(b)(iii) or 8.02(b)(iv). Claims for Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(b)(i) shall be recovered first from the balance of the Escrow Account at the time such a Claim is made. The maximum amount of Losses for which the Seller Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(c) will be the Purchase Price.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Seller shall be obligated to indemnify for any indemnifiable Loss with respect to (i) a representation or warranty made by the other Seller under Article III; or (ii) a covenant or other agreement to be performed on the part of the other Seller under this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto.

(d)NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF PURCHASER, ANY SELLER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE HEREUNDER TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY (i) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (ii) LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT, EXCEPT IN EACH CASE OF THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (i) AND (ii), TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY ACTION BY A THIRD PARTY AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR WHICH IT IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.05Calculation of Loss.

In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Loss shall be computed net of (a) payments actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Loss net of expenses and (b) any actual recovery by any Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Loss net of expenses. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue reimbursement for Loss, including under insurance policies and indemnity arrangements.

Section 8.06No Duplication.

In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover any Loss under one section or provision of this Agreement to the extent of the full amount of such Loss already recovered by such Indemnified Party, nor shall its insurer or indemnitor be entitled to any kind of subrogation or substitution which would give it the right to make a claim against the Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.07Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

Sellers and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08Releases by Sellers.

(a)For and in consideration of the covenants and promises set forth in this Agreement, each Seller, on behalf of itself, any entities it controls and its assigns and successors (collectively, the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby fully and finally releases, acquits and forever discharges Company, each ATAX Entity and their respective Affiliates, subsidiaries, and each of their respective present and former members, shareholders, officers, managers, directors, representatives, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries and insurers (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Parties”), from any and all actions, debts, claims, counterclaims, demands, liabilities, damages, causes of action, costs, expenses, and compensation of every kind and nature whatsoever, past or present, at Law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which such Seller Releasing Parties, or any of them, had, has or may have had at any time in the past until and up to the Closing Date against the Purchaser Released Parties, except to the extent of common law fraud or willful or wanton misconduct, including, but not limited to, any Claims which relate to or arise out of such Seller Releasing Party’s relationship with Company or an ATAX Entity prior to the Closing Date or its rights or status as a member, shareholder, officer, manager, director or employee of Company or an ATAX Entity, excluding, however, any Claims arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

(b)The Seller Releasing Parties expressly waive and relinquish any and all rights they may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 and under any similar statute or Law of any other relevant jurisdiction, and expressly consent that the within release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions. Section 1542 provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

The Seller Releasing Parties each acknowledge that the waivers set forth in this Section 8.08 are essential terms of this Agreement, and that without such waiver this Agreement would not have been entered into. The Seller Releasing Parties each acknowledge the significance and consequences of such release and specific waiver of Section 1542.

(c)Each Seller further agrees not to institute any Proceeding against the Purchaser Released Parties with respect to any and all Claims released in Section 8.08(a).

(d)Each Seller hereby represents and warrants that they have adequate information regarding the terms of this Section 8, the scope and effect of the releases set forth herein and all other matters encompassed by this Agreement to make an informed and knowledgeable decision with regard to entering into this Agreement, and that they have independently and without reliance upon the Purchaser Released Parties made their own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

(e)Each Seller acknowledges that the consummation of this Agreement and the consideration payable hereunder provides good and sufficient consideration for every release contained in this Section 8.08.

Section 8.09Exclusive Remedy.

(a)EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.04, THIS ARTICLE VIII OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR (ii) IN THE CASE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR COMMON LAW FRAUD ON THE PART OF ANY PARTY, BUT OTHERWISE NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE CLOSING OCCURS, NO PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY, AND NO PARTY SHALL MAKE ANY CLAIM, FOR ANY LOSS (AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES) UNDER, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, COMMON LAW, OTHER LAWS OR OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.09 SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF A PARTY TO SEEK AND OBTAIN SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

(b)Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that (i) no Person other than the Parties or the parties thereto shall have any obligation or Liability hereunder, under any Transaction Document or under any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and (ii) the Parties and their Affiliates and Representatives shall have no rights of recovery in respect hereof or thereof against, no recourse in respect hereof or thereof shall be had against, and no personal Liability in respect hereof or thereof shall attach to, any former, current or future Affiliate, general or limited partner, member, equity holder, lender, Representative, director, officer, agent, manager, assignee or employee of any Party, or of any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (other than any party to any of the Transaction Documents or any of their respective successors or permitted assignees to the extent of such party’s obligations thereunder), or any of their respective successors or permitted assignees (excluding any party to the Transaction Documents to the extent of its obligations thereunder to the other parties thereto or express third party beneficiaries thereof, collectively, “Non-Recourse Persons”),

whether by or through attempted piercing of the “corporate veil,” by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) by or on behalf of any Party against any Non-Recourse Person, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other Law, or otherwise. The Non-Recourse Persons shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.09(b) as if expressly party hereto.

(c)Notwithstanding Section 8.09(a), nothing contained in this Section 8.09 shall prevent any Party from seeking and obtaining injunctive relief against the other Party’s activities in breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.10No Reliance.

EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO, NONE OF THE PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY PARTY, MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PARTIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER MADE BY SUCH PARTIES OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF, OR ANY SUCH PERSON’S RELIANCE ON, ANY INFORMATION, DISCLOSURE OR OTHER DOCUMENT OR OTHER MATERIAL MADE AVAILABLE IN ANY DATA ROOM, MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION OR IN ANY OTHER FORM IN EXPECTATION OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY). EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO, EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROJECTION, FORECAST, STATEMENT, OR INFORMATION MADE, COMMUNICATED, OR FURNISHED (ORALLY OR IN WRITING) TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING OPINION, INFORMATION, PROJECTION, OR ADVICE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE PROVIDED TO ANY PARTY OR ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, CONSULTANT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.11Escrow Releases.

(a)General Disbursement. Within three (3) Business Days after any Loss indemnifiable under Section 8.02(a) or 8.02(b) becomes due and payable pursuant to this Article VIII, Sellers and Purchaser shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver promptly to Purchaser from the Escrow Account, an amount equal to such due and payable Loss by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account

designated in writing by Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.

(b)Final Scheduled Release. On the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Sellers and Purchaser shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver promptly to Sellers from the Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the remaining balance of the Escrow Account minus the Pending Claims as of such date. Upon the settlement or other final resolution of each Pending Claim thereafter, Sellers and Purchaser shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver promptly from the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds (A) the amount, if any, payable to Purchaser in respect of such settled or resolved Pending Claim to an account designated by Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and (B) the remaining balance of the Escrow Account, minus the Pending Claims (if any) remaining immediately after such distribution to an account designated by Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Article IX
TAX MATTERS

Section 9.01Transfer Taxes.

Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and similar taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) and fees arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agr eement shall be split 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers. Any Tax Returns filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and timely filed by Sellers or Purchaser, as appropriate under Law.

Section 9.02Apportionment of Taxes.

For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as follows: (a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which Company or any ATAX holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time); and (b) in the case of other Taxes (including property taxes), deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period (excluding extraordinary items attributable to activities or events before or after the Closing Date, as applicable) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the taxable period, and such excluded extraordinary items shall be taken into account in the portion of the taxable period (i.e., before or after the Closing Date) in which such

activity occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that for federal and applicable state income tax purposes the taxable year of the Company will end as of the Closing Date as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.03Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a)Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for Company related to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Seller Returns”) that are required to be filed after the Closing. Sellers shall permit Purchaser to review and comment on each such Seller Return at least ten business days prior to filing (except where such 10-day period is not practical, in which case as soon as practical). Sellers and Purchaser will consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of such Seller Returns and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items will be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return) by an independent accounting firm chosen by both Sellers and Purchaser. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Seller Return will be timely filed on that basis. The costs, fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm will be shared equally by Sellers and Purchaser.

(b)Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for Company that are required to be filed after the Closing (including Tax Returns relating to Straddle Periods), other than the Seller Returns. Purchaser shall permit Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return to the extent that such Tax Return includes Taxes that are the responsibility of Sellers at least ten business days prior to filing (except where such 10-day period is not practical, in which case as soon as practical). Purchaser and Sellers will consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of such Tax Returns and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items will be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return) by an independent accounting firm chosen by both Sellers and Purchaser. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return will be timely filed on that basis. The costs, fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm will be sh ared equally by Sellers and Purchaser.

Section 9.04Cooperation.

After the Closing, Sellers, Purchasers, and Company and their agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, upon reasonable request, shall cooperate in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any refund claim or any Tax audits, Tax disputes, Tax notices (including an assertion of a deficiency or a notice of a proposed adjustment), any assertion of a claim for Taxes or other proceedings related to any Taxes with respect to the activities or filings of Company for any period, or the portion of any period, prior to the Closing Date. The cooperation of any Person under this Section 9.04 shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information, including work papers of Company and its auditors, but excluding records and information that are protected by recognized professional privilege, related to any period, or the portion of any period, of Company ending on or before the Closing Date, which are reasonably relevant to any Tax Returns or claims for refund. Sellers, Purchaser and Company each agree to retain all books

and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Company relating to the three year period (or portion thereof) prior to the Closing Date for a period of at least three years and shall provide notice to the other prior to destroying any such books and records (and an opportunity for the other to take possession of such books and records).

Section 9.05Tax Documents.

If, after the Closing Date, Company, Purchaser or Sellers receive any document with respect to the Tax matters of Company that could affect any other Party, the Party receiving such document shall supply a copy of such document to the potentially affected Party within seven calendar days of receipt. For this purpose, such Tax documents shall include requests for information, notices of proposed adjustment, revenue agent’s reports or similar reports and notices of deficiency, including notices of Encumbrances or levies relating to any Tax. Any information provided or obtained under this Section 9.05 shall be kept confidential, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of a Tax Return, refund claims, or any Tax Claim, or as required by applicable Treasury Regulations.

Section 9.06Tax Claims.

Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing upon receipt by such Party or any of its Affiliates of notice of any audits, examinations, adjustments or assessments relating to Taxes of Company that could give rise to a claim for indemnification under Article VIII (each, a “Tax Claim”). Sellers may contest such Tax Claim in any forum permitted under applicable Law and shall otherwise have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.06, to direct, control and settle any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to such Tax Claim, provided that (a) Sellers notify Purchaser in writing within 20 days after Purchaser’s notification to Sellers of such Tax Claim of Sellers’ intent to exercise their right to direct, control, and settle such Tax Claim and such notification includes an acknowledgment that Sellers are obligated to indemnify Purchaser and Company fully with respect to such Tax Claim, (b) such Tax Claim can be contested independently of any other audit, examination, adjustment or assessment which is not a Tax Claim, (c) Purchaser shall be entitled to make comments to Sellers regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such administrative or judicial proceeding and to participate at its sole expense in such administrative or judicial proceedings, (d) Sellers shall keep Purchaser informed regarding the status of such Tax Claim, including providing Purchaser with copies of all correspondence and other information regarding such Tax Claim, (e) the legal counsel selected by Sellers to defend the Tax Claim is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, (f) the administrative or judicial proceedings relating to such Tax Claim do not seek an injunction or equitable relief against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, (g) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has no reasonable basis for believing that an adverse determination with respect to the Tax Claim would be detrimental to or injure its reputation in the public eye or its future business prospects, (h) for any Tax Claim that is subject to the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, Company will make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (regarding the “push out” election) with respect to any Imputed Underpayment arising with respect to any such taxable year, or portion thereof, and (i) Sellers may not settle any such proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The foregoing shall apply to Tax Claims in lieu of Section 9.04. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.06, Purchaser shall have the sole right to control any audit or examination by any Tax Authority and contest,

resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of or relating to, the income, assets or operations of Company for all Tax periods; provided, however, that, if the settlement of any matter may affect the obligations of Sellers to Purchaser, Purchaser may not settle any such proceeding without prior written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 9.07Tax Consequences of Transaction for Income Tax Purposes.

Each Party agrees for federal, and applicable state and local, income Tax purposes, that Purchaser’s purchase of all of the interests in Company will be treated, in accordance with Situation 2 of Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, as a purchase of the assets of Company by Purchaser and a sale of partnership interests by Sellers. Sellers and Purchaser, upon the other’s request, shall provide the other with all information that either of them may be required to report the purchase of all interests in Company in the manner described in this Section 9.07.

Section 9.08Tax or Other Distributions from Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Seller covenants and agrees that from and after Closing, such Seller shall not have any right to receive a distribution from Company (for Taxes or otherwise) pursuant to the terms of the Company Partnership Agreement.

Article X
TERMINATION

Section 10.01Termination of Agreement.

This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

(a)by the mutual written consent of Sellers and Purchaser;

(b)by either of Sellers or Purchaser if there shall be in effect a final non-appealable order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(b) shall not be available to either Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, if such order was primarily due to the failure of any of Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(c)by Purchaser if either Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of either Seller shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b) would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 days following receipt by Sellers of notice of such breach from Purchaser;

(d)by either of Sellers if Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this

Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 days following receipt by Purchaser of notice of such breach from Sellers;

(e)by any of Sellers or Purchaser in the event that the Closing does not occur on or before October 31, 2019; provided, however, that such failure of the Closing to occur is not due to the failure of such Party to perform and comply in all material respects with the covenants and agreements to be performed or complied with by such Party prior to the Closing.

Section 10.02Procedure Upon Termination.

In the event of termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or either of Sellers, or both, pursuant to Section 10.01, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party, and this Agreement shall terminate, and the purchase of the Subject Interests hereunder shall be abandoned, without further action by Purchaser or Sellers.

Section 10.03Effect of Termination.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 10.01, then each Party shall be relieved of its duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without Liability to Purchaser or Sellers; provided, however, that the agreements and obligations of each Party set forth in Section 6.06, Article XI and Article XII shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 10.03 shall relieve Purchaser or any Seller of any Liability for an intentional material breach of this Agreement by such Party.

EXHIBIT A

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of ___________, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), by and among GREYSTONE AF MANAGER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GP Purchaser”), GREYSTONE AF HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LP Purchaser” and together with GP Purchaser, “Purchaser”), and BURLINGTON CAPITAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company GP” or “Seller”), BURLINGTON CAPITAL STRUCTURED FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company LP” or “Seller” and collectively with Company GP, “Sellers”), and TMI TRUST COMPANY, a trust company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida (“Escrow Agent”).

RECITALS:

A.Purchaser and Sellers have entered into a certain Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of ___________, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser has purchased all of the issued and outstanding partnership interests of America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two, a Delaware limited partnership (therein called the “Subject Interests”) from Sellers.

B.The Purchase Agreement provides in relevant part that a portion of the Purchase Price for the Subject Interests will be delivered by Purchaser into escrow to be held and distributed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual and dependent covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1.Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein are given the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

2.Escrow Deposit. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, $6,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) has been deposited, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, with Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Amount, together with all interest, dividends, income, capital gains and other amounts earned thereon or derived therefrom (the “Escrow Income”) pursuant to the investments made on such amount pursuant to Section 3 hereof, are the “Escrow Funds.” Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of such funds and agrees to hold the Escrow Amount as Escrow Agent for Sellers and Purchaser (the “Escrow Account”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Escrow Funds will be held as a trust fund and will not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party hereto. Escrow Agent will not distribute or release the Escrow Funds except in accordance with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.Investment of Escrow Account. Escrow Agent will invest the Escrow Funds in

the Escrow Account pursuant to written instructions signed by Sellers and Purchaser; provided, that such investments will be limited to:

(a)interest bearing deposits of any bank or trust company located within the United States, including one or more accounts maintained in the commercial banking department (if any) of Escrow Agent; provided, that any such bank or trust company will have capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000;

(b)direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to all principal and interest by, the United States, in each case with maturity dates of ninety (90) days or less; or

(c)any money market fund where substantially all of such fund’s assets are invested in the investment categories described in clause (b) above, including any money market fund managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates.

Written investment instructions, if any, will specify the type and identity of the investments to be purchased or sold. In the absence of any instructions from Sellers and Purchaser as to the initial investment of the Escrow Funds, or any portion thereof, in the obligations described in clauses (a) through (c) above, the Escrow Funds, or such portion thereof, will be invested as provided in 3(a) above. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity. Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates may receive compensation with respect to any investment directed hereunder, including, without limitation, charging an agency fee in connection with each transaction. The parties recognize and agree that Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of moneys held in the Escrow Account or the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any investment described herein. Escrow Agent will have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Agreement. Escrow Agent will not have any liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment in an investment made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or as a result of any liquidation of an investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Funds. Any loss or expense incurred as a result of an investment will be borne by the Escrow Account.

4.Release of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds held pursuant to this Agreement are intended to provide a non-exclusive source of funds for the payment of any amounts that may become payable in respect of the claims and matters described in the Purchase Agreement. Except for tax distributions made pursuant to Section 10(d), the Escrow Funds will only be distributed and released pursuant to Joint Written Instructions (as defined below). If Escrow Agent receives a Joint Written Instruction, Escrow Agent will promptly, but in any event within two business days after receipt of a Joint Written Instruction, disburse all or part of the Escrow Funds in accordance with such Joint Written Instruction. Any Joint Written Instruction will include complete payment instructions, including wiring instructions or addresses to which one or more checks will be sent. “Joint Written Instruction” means a written direction executed by Purchaser and Sellers directing Escrow Agent to disburse all or a portion of the Escrow Funds or

to take or refrain from taking any other action.

5.Inspection Rights and Account Statements. Purchaser and Sellers will have the right to inspect and obtain copies of the records of Escrow Agent pertaining to this Agreement and to receive monthly reports of the status of the Escrow Account. On or before the tenth day following the end of each calendar month during the term hereof, Escrow Agent will deliver account statements to Purchaser and Sellers with respect to the Escrow Account for the prior calendar month, which statements will include the account balance, disbursements made pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and Escrow Income earned during the preceding calendar month.

6.Termination. This Agreement will terminate when all Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account have been distributed in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

7.Conditions to Escrow. Escrow Agent agrees to hold the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account and to perform in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Sellers and Purchaser agree that Escrow Agent does not assume any responsibility for the failure of Sellers or Purchaser to perform in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement. The acceptance by Escrow Agent of its responsibilities hereunder is subject to the following terms and conditions, which the parties hereto agree will govern and control with respect to Escrow Agent’s rights, duties, liabilities and immunities:

(a)Escrow Agent will have only those duties as are specifically provided herein, which will be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and will under no circumstance be deemed a fiduciary for any of the other parties to this Agreement. Escrow Agent will not be required to take any action hereunder involving any expense unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to it.

(b)Escrow Agent will be protected in acting upon any written notice, consent, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it, not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be. Should it be necessary for Escrow Agent to act upon any instructions, directions, documents or instruments issued or signed by or on behalf of any corporation or other legal entity, fiduciary or individual acting on behalf of another party hereto, which Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine, it will not be necessary for Escrow Agent to inquire into such corporation’s or other legal entity’s, fiduciary’s or individual’s authority.

(c)Escrow Agent will not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d)Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event of any question as to any of the provisions hereof or the duties hereunder, and it will incur no liability and will be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the opinion and instructions of such counsel. The reasonable and documented costs

of such counsel’s services will be paid to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 12 below.

(e)Escrow Agent will neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with knowledge of, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the other parties hereto, including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of Escrow Agent will be inferred from the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document.

(f)In the event that Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or receives instructions, claims or demands from Purchaser or Sellers which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation will be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it will be directed otherwise in writing jointly by Purchaser and Sellers. Escrow Agent will have the option, after ten days’ notice to Purchaser and Sellers of its intention to do so, to file an action in interpleader requiring Purchaser and Sellers to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves.

(g)Any corporation or other legal entity into which Escrow Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its escrow business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or other legal entity resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, will be and become the successor escrow agent hereunder and vested with all of the title to the whole property or trust estate and all of the trusts, powers, immunities, privileges, protections and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

8. Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent.

(a)Escrow Agent reserves the right to resign at any time by giving 30 days’ written notice of resignation, specifying the effective date thereof. On the effective date of such resignation, Escrow Agent will deliver this Agreement together with the Escrow Funds (including any Escrow Income earned thereon) and any and all related instruments or documents to any successor escrow agent agreeable to Purchaser and Sellers. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed and has not accepted such appointment prior to the expiration of 30 days following the date of the notice of such resignation, Escrow Agent may, but will not be obligated to, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent. Any such resulting appointment will be binding upon all of the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Escrow Agent or any successor escrow agent will continue to act as Escrow Agent until a successor is appointed and qualified to act as Escrow Agent.

(b)Escrow Agent may be removed (with or without cause) and a new escrow agent may be appointed upon mutual agreement of Purchaser and Sellers. In such event,

Purchaser and Sellers will deliver a joint written notice to Escrow Agent of such removal together with a Joint Written Instruction authorizing delivery of this Agreement together with the Escrow Funds (including any Escrow Income earned thereon) and any and all related instruments or documents to a successor escrow agent.

(c)Upon delivery of the Escrow Funds to a successor escrow agent in accordance with this Section 8, Escrow Agent will thereafter be discharged from any further obligations hereunder. All power, authority, duties and obligations of Escrow Agent will apply to any successor escrow agent.

9.Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Sellers will jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) that Escrow Agent may incur in connection with this Agreement and its performance hereunder or in connection herewith, except to the extent such liability, loss, damage or expense arises from Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The indemnification provided for under this Section 9 will be allocated and paid in the same manner as fees and expenses under Section 12 below and will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

10.Taxes.

(a)Ownership for Tax Purposes. Each of Purchaser and Sellers agree that, for purposes of United States federal and other taxes based on income, Sellers will be treated as the owner of the Escrow Funds and that Sellers will report the income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Escrow Funds as its income, in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible and pay any taxes attributable thereto.

(b)Tax Forms. Prior to the date hereof, each of Purchaser and Sellers will provide Escrow Agent with a fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or W-8, properly completed and signed, and such other forms and documents that Escrow Agent may reasonably request.

(c)Withholding. Escrow Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount distributed or released from the Escrow Funds all taxes which may be required to be deducted or withheld under any provision of applicable tax law. All such withheld amounts will be treated as having been delivered to the party entitled to the amount distributed or released in respect of which such tax has been deducted or withheld.

(d)Tax Distributions. Subject to there being Escrow Funds available therefor, Escrow Agent will, pursuant to written instructions from Sellers, make a distribution to Sellers on or prior to [___________] (and on or prior to [___________] of any subsequent year) in an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the aggregate Escrow Income earned on the Escrow Funds during the preceding calendar year. Such distribution will be funded from the Escrow Funds. Concurrently with such distribution, Escrow Agent will provide Purchaser with notice of the amount disbursed to Sellers.

11.Business Days. If any date on which Escrow Agent is required to make an investment or a delivery pursuant to the provisions hereof is not a day on which Escrow Agent is open for business, then Escrow Agent will make such investment or delivery on the next succeeding business day.

12.Escrow Costs. Purchaser will pay all of the fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) of Escrow Agent for the services to be rendered by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Escrow Agent agrees to serve as Escrow Agent in accordance with the fee schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto.

13.Force Majeure. No party will be liable or responsible to the other parties, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the affected party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire or explosion; (c) war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order or law; (e) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) action by any governmental authority; (g) national or regional emergency; and (h) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances (a “Force Majeure Event”). The party suffering a Force Majeure Event will give notice to the other parties, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue and will use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized.

14.Notices. Except as provided in Section 19, all notices, consents, requests and other communications hereunder (each a “notice”) will be in writing and will be sufficient (a) when delivered in person, or (b) when sent by U.S. first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (c) when sent by express mail or a reputable delivery service guaranteeing overnight delivery which obtains signed receipts; in each case addressed as follows, or (d) by email, if confirmation of delivery is obtained:

Any party hereto will have the right to specify, from time to time, as its address or addresses for the purpose of this Agreement, any other address or addresses upon giving at least ten days’ written notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement as herein provided. Written notice from legal counsel for a party, when made and delivered on behalf of such party, will be deemed notice from such party for the purposes of this Agreement.

15.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and related exhibits and schedules, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement: (a) with respect to any inconsistency as between Purchaser, on one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement will control; and (b) with respect to any inconsistency as between Escrow Agent, on the one hand, and any or all of Purchaser and Sellers, on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

16.Successor and Assigns. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, except as provided in Section 7(g) hereof and except that (a) Purchaser may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser and may collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to any financial institution providing financing in connection with the acquisition of the Subject Interests, and (b) Sellers may assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Sellers. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of obligations in violation of this Section 16 will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.

17.No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

18.Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and will not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

19.Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this

Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

20.Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

21.Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue. All matters relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the rights of the parties (whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise) will be governed by and construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of any other law. Each party: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event, but only in the event, that such court does not have jurisdiction over any action, suit or proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, in the event that such court does not have jurisdiction over any action, suit or proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Superior Court) (collectively, the “Courts”), for purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating hereto except in such Courts); (b) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the address provided by such party in Section 14 hereof shall be effective service of process for any such action, suit or proceeding brought against such party; (c) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the Courts; and (d) irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to plead or claim, and irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to plead or claim, that any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is brought in the Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

22.Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 22.

23.Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

24.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and other documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement or document, and will be effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. A manual signature on this Agreement or other document to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement whose image is transmitted electronically will constitute an original signature for all purposes. The delivery of copies of this Agreement or other document to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including executed signature pages where required, by electronic transmission will constitute effective delivery of this Agreement or such other document for all purposes.
