mean the United States of America, the State, the county, and
city where the Real Property is located, and any other
political subdivision in which the Real Property is located
or that exercises jurisdiction over the Real Property and
Improvements or the construction of multifamily residential
improvements on the Real Property, and any agency,

(x) Each Seller and Designated Owner electing to receive Units
hereunder:
(i) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in
business and financial matters; each Designated
Owner has previously invested in securities similar
to the Units and fully understands the limitations
on transfer imposed by the federal securities laws
and as described in this Contract. Each Designated
Owner is able to bear the economic risk of holding
the Units for an indefinite period and is able to
afford the complete loss of his, her or its
investment in the Units; each Designated Owner has
received and reviewed all information and documents
about or pertaining to the REIT, the Buyer, the
business and prospects of the REIT and the Buyer and
the issuance of the Units as each Designated Owner
deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the
opportunity to obtain any additional information or
documents and to ask questions and receive answers
about such information and documents, the REIT, the
Buyer, the Properties, the business and prospects of
the REIT and the Buyer and the Units which such
Designated Owner deems necessary or desirable to
evaluate the merits and risks related to its
investment in the Units; and each Designated Owner
understands and has taken cognizance of all risk
factors related to the purchase of the Units. Each
Designated Owner is a sophisticated real estate
investor. In acquiring the Units and engaging in
this transaction, no Designated Owner is relying
upon any representations made to it by the Buyer, or
any of the officers, employees, or agents of the
Buyer not contained herein. Each Designated Owner is
relying upon its own independent analysis and
assessment (including with respect to taxes), and
the advice of such Designated Owner's advisors
(including tax advisors), and not upon that of the
Buyer or any of the Buyer's advisors or affiliates,
for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and
consummating the transactions contemplated by this
Contract. Each Designated Owner represents and
warrants that it has reviewed and approved the form
of the Buyer's Partnership Agreement attached hereto
as EXHIBIT M;
(ii) understands that neither the Units nor the Common
Stock issuable upon redemption of the Units have
been registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities acts and are instead being offered
and sold in reliance on an exemption from such
registration requirements. The Units issuable to
each Designated Owner (or its designee) are being
acquired solely for its own account, for investment,
and are not being acquired with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any distribution,
subdivision, or fractionalization thereof, in
violation of such laws, and the Designated Owner has
no present intention to enter into any contract,
undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with respect
to any such resale; provided,
Page 15
however, that, at or following Closing, the
Designated Owner may distribute the Units to those
of its members or successors that (1) have
represented and warranted to the Buyer in writing
that, as of the time of such distribution, such
member is an accredited investor as that term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act, and (2) have executed the Buyer's
Partnership Agreement as limited partners. Each
Designated Owner understands that any certificates
evidencing the Units will contain appropriate
legends reflecting the requirement that the Units
not be resold without registration under such laws
or the availability of an exemption from such
registration and that the Buyer's Partnership
Agreement will restrict transfer of the Units;
(iii) is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined
in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. Each Designated Owner will
provide the Buyer with a duly executed Accredited
Investor Questionnaire as set forth elsewhere in
this Contract; and
(iv) understands that each Unit shall be redeemable at
the option of the holder, in accordance with, but
subject to the restrictions contained in, the
Buyer's Partnership Agreement; provided, however,
that such redemption option may not be exercised
prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 4.2 Several Liability; Survival of Representations and Warranties.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
each of the parties comprising Seller shall be responsible
and liable hereunder only with respect to its respective
Property. All covenants and agreements of the Seller under
this Contract shall be the several obligations of such Seller
and shall bind and/or be made by each Seller only as to the
Property owned by such Seller as if a separate agreement had
been executed by and between such respective Seller and Buyer
for each Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default
under this Contract by any Seller shall constitute a default
under this Contract with respect to all Sellers and all
Properties.
(b) The representations and warranties in SECTION 4.1 will be
deemed made on and as of the Closing Date with the same force
and effect as if made at that time and shall survive Closing
for a period of 9 months, at which time they terminate unless
a claim for breach thereof has been instituted within the
11-month period as specified in the next sentence. Buyer may
bring an action against a respective Seller for a material
(defined in SECTION 7.1) breach of any of Seller's
representations and warranties only if (i) Buyer gives such
Seller written notice of the circumstances giving rise to a
material breach within the 11-month period after Closing,
(ii) the aggregate, actual damages from all breaches by such
Seller exceeds $10,000, and (iii) the breach was not waived
pursuant to SECTION 7.1 hereof. Buyer may collect only actual
damages for any breach of Seller's representations and
warranties under this Contract. Buyer and Seller waive the
right to collect special, consequential, incidental,
punitive, or any other damages other than actual damages in
connection with this transaction and this Contract. Except
for (i) any adjustment of the prorations as set forth in
SECTION 6.3, (ii) the warranties in the Deed, the Xxxx of
Sale, and the Assignment of Leases, and
Page 16
(iii) claims in tort which are covered (in whole or in part)
by Seller's liability insurance, (a) any Seller's liability
for damages related to any single Property is limited to
$300,000; provided, that the aggregate liability of all
Sellers for all damages of any kind related to this Contract
or this transaction is limited to and shall not exceed
$300,000 (Buyer hereby waiving the right to claim damages in
excess thereof), except for fraud, and (b) any suit against
Seller for damages must be instituted within 2 years and 1
day after Closing or the damages are thereafter barred.
(c) The provisions of this SECTION 4.2 survive the Closing or any
termination of this Contract.
Section 4.3 Knowledge Standard.
For purposes of this Contract, the terms SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE and BUYER'S
KNOWLEDGE mean the current, actual knowledge of the individuals listed on
EXHIBIT N attached to this Contract, without independent inquiry and without
any actual or implied duty to inquire, and does not include knowledge imputed
to Seller or to the Buyer, as the case may be, from any other person. The named
individuals are acting for and on behalf of Seller or Buyer, as the case may
be, and in a capacity as an officer of Seller or Buyer, respectively or one or
more of Seller's or Buyer's Affiliates and are in no manner expressly or
impliedly making any representations or warranties in an individual capacity.
Buyer and Seller waive any right to xxx or to seek any personal judgment or
claim against any of the named individuals.
Section 4.4 Seller's Covenants.
Each Seller, severally and not jointly, covenants with Buyer as follows:
(a) At all times from the Effective Date to the Closing Date,
Seller shall maintain in force property insurance and
commercial general liability insurance covering the Real
Property and the Improvements in accordance with Seller's
customary procedures.
(b) At all times from the Effective Date to the Closing Date,
Seller shall keep and perform or cause to be kept and
performed all of the material obligations to be performed by
the landlord under the Leases.
(c) Seller shall not, without Buyer's prior consent, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, modify,
terminate, amend, or allow the assignment of existing Leases,
except in accordance with Seller's historical course of
conduct in operating the Property.
(d) After the Effective Date, Seller shall not remove any
Personal Property from the Improvements without replacing it
with items of like kind and quality.
(e) Seller agrees to obtain Buyer's written approval prior to
entering into any new Service Contract that is not terminable
on thirty (30) days notice.
(f) Seller will manage, operate, repair and maintain the Property
in generally the same manner as it managed, operated,
repaired and maintained the same prior to the date hereof
and, to its reasonable ability, will keep the Property in its
Page 17
present state of repair subject to normal wear and tear,
exercising the same degree of care in such matters as Seller
has previously exercised.
(g) Seller shall update the Rent Roll on Buyer's request, but no
more often than once per month. Seller shall not lease any
portion of the Property to any employees of an Affiliate of
Seller, except under leases providing for thirty (30) day
termination by the owner of the Property.
(h) Seller will use its reasonable business efforts to renew all
of the licenses and permits applicable to the Property and
which are necessary for the continued operation of the
Property as they expire from time to time and shall notify
Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date
or threatened cancellation date of any license or operating
permit.
(i) Seller will not cause any action to be taken which would
cause any of the representations or warranties made by Seller
in this Contract to be false on or as of Closing Date.
(j) Seller shall not enter into or record any easement, covenant,
license, permit, agreement or other instrument against the
Property or any portion thereof except as may be required to
enable Seller to perform its obligations under this Contract
or to operate in the ordinary course of business.
(k) Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall terminate all
management agreements relating to the Property.
(l) Seller shall not change the existing use of any Property.
(m) Seller shall not knowingly violate or fail to use
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the violation of
any applicable laws in any way related to the Property;
however, this is not intended as a representation that there
are no current violations of applicable laws, nor shall it
serve as a covenant to correct violations of laws, if any,
that currently exist;
(n) Seller shall not materially alter the manner of keeping its
books, accounts or records or the accounting methods therein
reflected.
(o) Subsequent to the Closing, but at no cost to Seller, Seller
agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer's independent
auditors to provide reasonable and necessary access to
financial records required to permit the preparation and
audit of financial statements of the Properties for the year
2004 pursuant to applicable SEC regulations. This provision
shall survive the Closing.
(p) Seller shall continue to perform all its obligations under
the Existing Loans, and shall not enter into any
modification, amendment or restatement thereof that would
have a Material Adverse Effect without Buyer's consent, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(q) Seller agrees to expend at least $500,000 in the aggregate,
when combined with the expenditures pursuant to the
Partnership Sale Contract and the Cash Contract, in capital
expenditures on the Properties prior to Closing (the CAPITAL
Page 18
EXPENDITURE AMOUNT). As of the Effective Date, there is
approximately $311,000 in an escrow account held by the
Lenders entitled "Required Repair Fund" (the REQUIRED REPAIR
FUND). All amounts that Seller is reimbursed by the Lenders
prior to Closing from the Required Repair Fund shall be
included in determining if Seller achieves the Capital
Expenditure Amount. If the Seller expends less than $500,000
in capital expenditures on the Properties, when combined with
the expenditures pursuant to the Partnership Sale Contract
and the Cash Contract, prior to Closing, then the Seller
shall pay to the Buyer at Closing the positive difference
between the actual amount of capital expenditures made by the
Seller and $500,000 (the CAPITAL PAYMENT). The Seller may
elect to assign all or a portion of the Required Repair Fund
to Buyer, at no cost to Buyer, as part of the Capital
Payment.

attached hereto as EXHIBIT P.

hereof, to acquire any Units at Closing and if the Liquidity

The CLOSING of this Contract will take place in Title Company's offices

mutually agreeable to the parties upon three (3) business days prior written

provided, however, that this Contract shall terminate if Closing does not occur
prior to January 31, 2005 (the CLOSING DATE). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller acknowledges that it is possible that, due to unanticipated delays in
the regulatory review and approval process associated with the Public Offering

control of Buyer, then the Closing Date shall be automatically extended

Seller is not then in default hereunder, the Xxxxxxx Money and the Letter of

shall terminate, and the parties shall have no further rights, liabilities or

made, then after the taxes and assessments for the year in
which the Closing occurs are finally assessed, within 30 days
after demand, Buyer shall refund to Seller any amount
overpaid by Seller or Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of
any deficiency in the proration. Buyer shall pay all taxes
and assessments against the Property before they become

unit on or after the Closing Date. All application fees which
are not prepaid security deposits shall be retained by
Seller. Any income payable in connection with any Service
Contract will be prorated, but no lump sum or up front
payments paid to Seller with respect to any Service Contract
will be prorated. Rent will be prorated based on the Rent
Roll provided by Seller at Closing. No later than 3 business
days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and each Seller shall
mutually approve and provide to Closing Agent a schedule of
prorations in as complete and accurate a form as possible. No
later than 60 days after Closing, Seller and Buyer shall make
appropriate post-closing adjustments to the prorations of
income and expenses but in no event will any readjustment be
made after the 60th day after the Closing Date, other than a
readjustment of ad valorem taxes and assessments.
Page 25
(c) All Deposits paid as refundable security for rent, cleaning,
pet deposits, or any other purposes will be paid to Buyer at
Closing and the obligation, if any, to refund the cash
deposits to tenants is assumed by Buyer. Except as provided
in SECTION 6.3(d), no non-refundable deposits or fees paid by
tenants shall be paid or payable to Buyer.

to Seller for current leases on the Properties shall be

Lenders will be delivered to the Sellers at Closing and will
be retained by the Seller or will be credited to the Seller
at Closing.

the cost of providing the Title Commitment, (iii) if the

By no later than 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time on January 18, 2005 (the
ASSUMPTION APPROVAL DATE), Buyer shall either:
(a) terminate this Contract by giving a termination notice to

acceptable to Buyer, following which Closing Agent shall
deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller (together with all
interest thereon) and the parties shall have no further
rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Contract
(other than those that expressly survive termination); or
(b) waive its right to terminate this Contract for matters
related to the Assumption by proceeding to Closing (absent a
termination pursuant to (a) above, Buyer shall be deemed to
have waived its right to terminate this Contract by virtue of
an unacceptable Assumption).
Buyer covenants to communicate with Sellers and to keep Sellers informed with
respect to the status of the Assumption and the Seller Releases. Buyer will
promptly notify Sellers when each Lender consents to the Assumption and the
Seller Releases. If Buyer is unable to obtain the Seller Releases by noon,
Dallas, Texas time on January 17, 2005, Buyer will promptly notify Sellers in
writing thereof.
Section 6.6 Release Approval.
By no later than the Assumption Approval Date, Sellers shall either:
(a) terminate this Contract by giving a termination notice to
Buyer stating that the terms of the Seller Releases are not
acceptable to Sellers, following which Closing Agent shall
deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller (together with all
interest thereon) and the parties shall have no further
rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Contract (other
than those that expressly survive termination); or
(b) waive its right to terminate this Contract for matters
related to the Seller Releases by proceeding to Closing
(absent a termination pursuant to (a) above, Seller shall be
deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Contract by
virtue of an unacceptable Seller Release);
Section 6.7 Seller's and Buyer's Joint Covenants Regarding Taxation of
Cash/Unit Purchase.
For all federal, state and local income tax purposes:
(a) Buyer and Seller agree to treat the Seller's contribution of
Property to Buyers in exchange for Units as a nontaxable
transaction under Section 721 of the Internal
Page 27
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the CODE), and Buyer and
Seller will not take an inconsistent position therewith
except to the extent required by a "determination" as that
term is defined under Section 1313 of the Code.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Contract, including without limitation the use of words and
phrases such as "sell," "sale," "purchase," and "pay," the
parties agree that it is their intent that to the extent that
consideration for the transfer of the Property takes the form
of the issuance of Units, the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be treated for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to Section 721 of the Code as the contribution of
the Property by the Seller to Buyer, in exchange for the
Units.
(b) Buyer and Seller agree that to the extent there is sufficient
cash transferred by Buyer to Seller under SECTION 1.2(c)(II)
to defease any existing mezzanine loan on the respective
Property plus the payment of Seller's costs under SECTION
6.4(a), it shall be reported under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.707-4(d) in such respective amounts as a transfer
to reimburse the Seller for capital expenditures, and
accordingly, Buyer and Seller will not report such cash
transfers as part of a taxable sale of the Property from
Seller to Buyer. Buyer and Seller agree that they will not
take positions inconsistent with the preceding sentence
except to the extent required by a "determination" as that
term is defined under Section 1313 of the Code.
(c) Buyer and Seller agree that the Existing Loans (together with
any fees and expenses required to be paid to Lenders in
connection with Buyer's Assumption to the extent assumed by
Buyer under SECTION 1.2(c)(i)) will be reported as a
"qualified liability", as that term is defined under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.707-5 and any fees and expenses required
to be paid Lenders in connection with Buyer's Assumption to
the extent satisfied by Buyer will be treated as a qualified
liability assumed by Buyer and that Seller's allocable share
of such qualified liability with respect to its Property will
be treated as a qualified liability. Buyer and Seller agree
that they will not take positions inconsistent with the
preceding sentence except to the extent required by a
"determination" as that term is defined under Section 1313 of
the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer makes no representations concerning a
proper treatment of such transactions and shall have no liability if the
contribution and distribution are not so treated. If such treatment is
challenged by any taxing authority on audit or otherwise, then solely with
respect to such issue, (i) the Designated Owners shall have the right to
participate fully, at their own expense, in all aspects of the defense of such
issue, (ii) the Buyer shall not settle any such issue without the prior consent
of the Designated Owners, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, (iii) the Buyer shall inform the Designated Owners reasonably promptly
in advance, of the date, time and place of all administrative and judicial
meetings, conferences, hearings and other proceedings relating to such issue,
(iv) the Buyer shall provide to the Designated Owners all correspondence with
governmental authorities and other documents relating to such issue promptly
upon receipt, or in advance of submission to (as the case may be) the relevant
taxing authority or court, and (v) the Buyer shall not file or submit any
documents relating to the issue without the prior consent of the Designated
Owners which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided
that the Buyer may make such filing or submission if required to comply with
any deadline imposed by law or other governmental authority if the Buyer has
made commercially reasonably efforts to obtain such prior consent. At any point
in the defense of
Page 28
such issue, in its sole discretion, the Buyer may, upon notice to the
Designated Owners, elect to have the Designated Owners conduct the defense of
the issue, at the Designated Owners' expense, and retain similar rights with
respect to the defense as those granted to the Designated Owners in the
immediately preceding sentence, provided that the proviso set forth in clause
(ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply.
ARTICLE 7
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 7.1 Material Breach of Seller's Representations and Warranties
Prior to Closing.
Buyer and each Seller shall each notify the other parties to this Contract
promptly upon discovery at or prior to Closing that any of the representations
and warranties of any Seller in SECTION 4.1 are inaccurate in any material
respect. If (i) any of a Seller's representations and warranties in SECTION 4.1
are inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to Closing and (ii) the
Seller does not cure (it being understood that the Seller has no obligation to
cure at any cost to Seller in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate) the material
breach within 10 business days (or within 1 business day if Buyer's notice is
given on the Closing Date) after receipt of notice of the breach from Buyer,
then Buyer shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, waiving all other remedies,
either:
(a) terminate this Contract by giving notice to each Seller on or
prior to the Closing Date (which will be extended as
necessary to accommodate the applicable cure period); or
(b) waive that representation and warranty in its entirety and
proceed to the Closing.
A breach of any representation and warranty by a Seller is deemed material for
the purposes of this SECTION 7.1 only if it will cause a material adverse
effect, including, without limitation, a financial effect on the Real Property
and Improvements of greater than $200,000 for any single Property and one or
more breaches by Seller of Seller's representations and warranties are deemed
material if they will cause a material adverse financial effect greater than
$300,000 in the aggregate with respect to any or all of the Properties. Any
breach of any representation and warranty by a Seller that is not material is
deemed waived by Buyer and Buyer and each Seller shall proceed with Closing
without any reduction in the Purchase Price. If Seller can effect a cure at a
cost of $25,000 or less in the aggregate, Seller shall effect the cure.
If Buyer terminates this Contract under this SECTION 7.1, then Closing Agent or
Sellers, as applicable, shall return the Xxxxxxx Money and the Letter of Credit
to Buyer and the parties have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations
under this Contract (other than those that expressly survive termination). If
Buyer has actual knowledge of the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or
warranty by any Seller at or prior to Closing and the Closing occurs, Buyer is
deemed to waive the breach of the representation and warranty in its entirety.
Section 7.2 Buyer's Remedies.
(a) Sellers Inability to Convey Title at Closing; Condemnation;
Major Casualty Damage. If:
(i) the Seller's title to the Property at Closing is
subject to any title exception other than the
Permitted Exceptions for any reason other than an
Page 29
affirmative act by any Seller (excluding any
election not to cure any objection by Buyer under
SECTION 3.1) that prevents Seller from having the
title required and the failure is not cured within 1
business day thereafter or Buyer does not waive any
defect in title and accepts the Seller's title as it
exists on the Closing Date;
(ii) condemnation proceedings are initiated against all
or any portion of the Property and Buyer does not
waive its right to terminate this Contract as
specified in SECTION 8.3; or
(iii) a Major Casualty (defined in SECTION 8.3) occurs and
Buyer does not waive its right to terminate this
Contract as specified in SECTION 8.3;
then Buyer shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, waiving
all other remedies, terminate this Contract by giving notice
to each Seller within 10 days after the event specified in
SECTION 7.2(a)(i) occurs or Seller delivers written notice to
Buyer of the occurrence of an event listed in SECTION
7.2(a)(II) or (III), and Closing Agent shall return the
Xxxxxxx Money and/or the Letter of Credit to Buyer, and the
parties have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations
under this Contract (other than those that expressly survive
termination).
(b) Other Seller Defaults. If (A) any Seller does not timely
perform its obligations under SECTION 6.2(a) for any reason
other than (i) Buyer's failure to timely perform its
obligations under SECTION 6.2(b) or (ii) an act that falls
under SECTION 7.2(a) (or the termination of this Contract
under any applicable provision of this Contract) or (B) any
Seller does not timely perform any of its material
obligations under this Contract other than its obligations
under SECTION 6.2(a) (for any reason other than the
termination of this Contract under any applicable provision
of this Contract) and does not cure the default within 10
business days after receipt of written notice of the default
from Buyer, then Buyer shall, as its sole and exclusive
remedy, waiving all other remedies, either:
(i) enforce specific performance of such Seller's
obligation to convey the Property to Buyer in
accordance with this Contract; or
(ii) terminate this Contract by giving notice to each
Seller within 5 business days thereafter, then
Closing Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money and, as
applicable, the Letter of Credit, to Buyer, and the
parties have no further rights, liabilities, or
obligations under this Contract (other than those
that expressly survive termination).
Buyer is deemed to elect to terminate this Contract, receive
a return of the Xxxxxxx Money and, as applicable, the Letter
of Credit as liquidated damages, and waive any right to
enforce specific performance against Sellers unless Buyer
complies with its obligations under SECTION 6.2(b) on the
Closing Date, gives Sellers notice of its intent to enforce
specific performance within 60 days after the Closing Date
and files an action to enforce specific performance against
each Seller in an appropriate State court having jurisdiction
over the Real Property within 2 years and 1 day after the
Closing Date.
Page 30
(c) Seller's Failure or Refusal to Convey Title at Closing.
Except as set forth in SECTION 7.2(a)(i), if Seller fails or
refuses to convey title to Buyer at Closing and Seller does
not remedy the failure or refusal within 7 business days
after receipt of written notice from Buyer, then (1) this
Contract will automatically terminate, (2) Seller will
reimburse Buyer for its actual, verifiable, third party,
out-of-pockets costs with respect to this Contract, the
Partnership Sale Contract and the Cash Contract in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $750,000, and (3) Closing
Agent shall return the Xxxxxxx Money and, as applicable, the
Letter of Credit, to Buyer and the parties have no further
rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Contract
(other than those that expressly survive termination).
Section 7.3 Seller's Remedies.
If:
(a) Buyer does not timely perform in accordance with SECTION
6.2(b) for any reason, except the termination of this
Contract under any applicable provision of this Contract; or
(b) Buyer is otherwise in default in the performance of any of
its material obligations under this Contract and does not
cure the default within 10 days after receipt of notice of
the default from any Seller (but no Seller is required to
give Buyer notice of default in the performance of Buyer's
obligations under SECTION 6.2(b) or any other obligation
involving the payment of money);
then, Sellers shall, as their sole and exclusive remedy, waiving all other
remedies, terminate this Contract by giving notice to Buyer, Closing Agent
shall pay the Xxxxxxx Money and, as applicable, shall deliver the Letter of
Credit to Sellers and Sellers will retain all Xxxxxxx Money or funds from the
Letter of Credit as liquidated damages, and the parties have no further rights,
liabilities, or obligations under this Contract (except for those that
expressly survive termination). The parties agree that Sellers' damages are
difficult to ascertain and that the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair approximation of
Sellers' damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SECTION 7.3,
Buyer's indemnity obligations under SECTION 3.2(d) of this Contract are
separate and distinct obligations that are not subject to the liquidated damage
provisions contained in this SECTION 7.3. Buyer's and its issuers obligations
under the Letter of Credit will survive the termination of this Contract.
ARTICLE 8
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
Section 8.1 Risk of Loss and Notice.
Subject to all other provisions of the Contract, including without limitation,
SECTION 3.2(d), the risk of loss or damage to the Real Property and
Improvements by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date is borne by
Sellers. Each Seller shall give Buyer prompt notice of any destruction of any
part of the Real Property and Improvements or the commencement of any
condemnation proceedings against the Real Property and Improvements between the
Effective Date and the Closing Date.
Page 31
Section 8.2 Minor Casualty.
Whether or not the notice required by SECTION 8.1 is given, if Improvements are
destroyed by fire or other casualty and the estimated cost of repairs, as
reasonably determined by Sellers based on a report by an independent
construction or architectural firm, is $500,000 or less for any individual
Property (a MINOR CASUALTY), Closing will occur with no reduction in the
Purchase Price and at Closing:

insurance payable to Seller, less any amounts paid by Seller
to repair, restore, or clean up the Real Property and
Improvements;
(b) Buyer will receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal
to the amount of any unused deductible under Seller's
property insurance policy;
(c) Buyer shall accept the Real Property and remaining
Improvements in their damaged state; and
(d) as between Buyer and Sellers, Sellers have no obligation to
repair or restore any damaged or destroyed portions of the
Real Property and Improvements.
Section 8.3 Major Casualty and Condemnation.
If condemnation proceedings are commenced against any portion of the Real
Property and Improvements, or if Improvements are destroyed by fire or other
casualty and the estimated cost of repairs, as reasonably determined by Sellers
based on a report by an independent construction or architectural firm, is more
than $500,000 for any individual Property (a MAJOR CASUALTY), and Buyer has not
waived the exercise of its remedies under SECTION 7.2(a) within 10 days after
notice from any Seller of the occurrence of a Major Casualty or the initiation

Price equal to the amount of any unused deductible
under Seller's property insurance policy;
(ii) Buyer will accept the Real Property and remaining
Improvements in their damaged state; and
(iii) as between Buyer and Sellers, Sellers have no

contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Buyer and Seller, Buyer
and Seller shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed,

as the one party may reasonably require to consummate the transaction

Section 9.19 Arbitration.
(a) If a claim (whether based on contract, statute, regulation,
or otherwise) between Seller and Buyer arising out of or
relating to this Contract (including, without limitation, the
construction, validity, interpretation, termination,
enforceability or
Page 40
alleged breach or threatened breach of the provisions
contained in this Contract) (defined for the purposes of this
SECTION 9.19 only, DISPUTE) cannot be resolved informally,
then the parties, if requested in writing by either party,
shall each appoint a corporate representative (with authority
to make decisions) to meet in a good faith effort to attempt
to resolve such Dispute. If such meeting is requested, the
meeting shall occur within 10 business days after the request
for such meeting. If the corporate representatives of the
parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within 20 days
after the meeting, the Dispute shall be resolved by binding
arbitration pursuant to SECTION 9.19(b).
(b) Any Dispute (including, without limitation, any dispute over
arbitrability or jurisdiction) not settled under SECTION
9.19(a) shall be, upon demand of a party to such Dispute,
resolved by arbitration held in Dallas, Texas, administered
by the AAA and, except as modified by this SECTION 9.19(b),
governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation
Procedures of the AAA (AAA RULES). The law applicable to the
arbitration process and procedure, including the
administration and enforcement thereof, shall be the Federal
Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.), as amended.
The parties to the Dispute shall be entitled to engage in
reasonable discovery, including the right to production of
relevant documents by the opposing party or parties and the
right to take depositions reasonably limited in number, time
and place; provided that in no event shall any party to the
Dispute be entitled to refuse to produce relevant and
non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by any
other party to the Dispute within the time limit set and to
the extent required by order of the arbitrator(s). The
arbitrator(s) shall determine the rights and obligations of
the parties to the Dispute according to the terms and
provisions of this Contract and the governing law specified
in SECTION 9.10 of this Contract to the extent not
inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act. The
arbitrator(s) shall hear and determine any preliminary issue
of law asserted by any party to the Dispute to be dispositive
of any claim or defense, in whole or in part, in the manner
that a court would hear and dispose of a motion to dismiss
for failure to state a claim or for summary judgment,
pursuant to such terms and procedures as the arbitrator(s)
deem appropriate. Any award by the arbitrator(s), whether
preliminary or final, shall be in writing, signed by each
arbitrator, and specify the reasons for the award, including
specific findings of fact and law. An arbitration award
rendered in any such proceeding shall be final, binding, and
non-appealable, and may be modified or vacated only on the
grounds provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. A judgment
on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having
competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall be divested of
any power to award damages in the nature of punitive,
exemplary, or consequential damages. With respect to a
Dispute or Disputes in which the aggregate amount of claims
or amounts in controversy do not exceed $100,000, a single
arbitrator will be impaneled, who will have authority to
render a maximum award of $100,000, including all damages of
any kind and costs, fees, interest, and the like. With
respect to a Dispute or Disputes in which the aggregate
amount of claims or amounts in controversy exceed $100,000,
the Dispute(s) will be decided by a majority vote of three
arbitrators.
(c) If a Dispute is required under SECTION 9.19(b) to be heard by
three arbitrators, the selection of such arbitrators shall be
as follows: each party to the Dispute shall each appoint one
arbitrator within 20 days after the filing of the
arbitration,
Page 41
and the two arbitrators so appointed shall select the
presiding arbitrator within 20 days after the latter of the
two arbitrators has been appointed by the parties. If either
of the parties fails to appoint its party-appointed
arbitrator or if the two party-appointed arbitrators cannot
reach agreement on the presiding arbitrator within the
applicable time period, then the AAA shall appoint the
remainder of the three arbitrators not yet appointed. Each
arbitrator shall be and remain at all times wholly impartial,
and, once appointed, no arbitrator shall have any ex parte
communications with any of the parties to the Dispute
concerning the arbitration or the underlying Dispute other
than communications directly concerning the selection of the
presiding arbitrator. If a Dispute is required under SECTION
9.19(b) to be heard by one arbitrator, the selection of the
arbitrator shall be in accordance with the AAA Rules then in
effect. All arbitrators shall be knowledgeable in the subject
matter of the Dispute.
Section 9.20 Exchange.
(a) Sellers may elect to consummate the sale of the Property as
part of a so-called like kind exchange (the EXCHANGE)
pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code.
(b) If Sellers so elect, the following provisions shall apply and
Buyer is obligated to cooperate with Sellers in effecting the
Exchange only if:
- the Closing Date is not delayed;
- Buyer incurs no additional liabilities of any kind
in effecting the Exchange;
- Buyer is not required to hold title to the exchange
property at any time; and
- Sellers shall pay all additional costs incurred by
Sellers and Buyer in effecting the Exchange,
including attorneys' fees.
Section 9.21 Related Property.
Buyer has entered into a Contract of Sale (the PARTNERSHIP SALE CONTRACT) with
JPI-CG MEZZ LLC, JPI-MC MEZZ LLC, JPI GENPAR REALTY, LLC, AND JPI INVESTMENT
COMPANY, L.P. concerning Buyer's acquisition of certain partnership, limited
liability company and limited partnership interests in the respective entities
and a Contract of Sale (the CASH CONTRACT) with JEFFERSON COMMONS - LAWRENCE,
L.P., and JEFFERSON COMMONS - WABASH, L.P. concerning Buyer's acquisition of
real property therein described. If the Partnership Sale Contract or the Cash
Contract is terminated, either Seller or Buyer may terminate this Contract by
written notice delivered to the other within 10 days after termination of the
respective contract. Additionally, if Buyer fails to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money
hereunder or under the Partnership Sale Contract or the Cash Contract as
required herein or therein, Sellers may terminate this Contract, and both the
Partnership Sale Contract and the Cash Contract by written notice delivered to
Buyer within 3 days after Buyer's failure to timely deliver such Xxxxxxx Money.
If this Contract is terminated under this Section, the Closing Agent shall
deliver the Xxxxxxx Money as provided in this Contract as though the reason for
such termination under the Partnership Sale Contract and the Cash Contract also
occurred under this Contract, and the parties thereafter have no further
rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Contract, the Partnership Sale
Contract or the Cash Contract except for matters which expressly survive
Page 42
termination of either this Contract, the Partnership Sale Contract or the Cash
Contract. Seller's rights under this Section survive termination of this
Contract. The intent of the parties is that this Contract, the Partnership
Sales Contract and the Cash Contract be cross defaulted.
Section 9.22 Confidentiality.
Seller acknowledges that the matters relating to the REIT, the Public Offering,
this Contract, and this transaction (collectively, the INFORMATION) are
confidential in nature. Therefore, Seller and, if applicable, each Designated
Owner, covenants and agrees to keep the Information confidential and will not
(except as required by applicable law, regulation or legal process including
applicable securities laws), without the Buyer's prior written consent,
disclose any Information in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, (a) that
the Information may be revealed only to the Seller's directors, officers,
employees, legal counsel, consultants, and advisors and to the Existing Lenders
(collectively, the INFORMATION GROUP), in each case on a "need to know" basis,
each of whom shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Information,
and (b) this confidentiality agreement is not intended to limit Seller's
continued use of its books, records, documents and other materials necessary
for the continued conduct of Seller's daily business and that of the respective
Properties. If the Seller or any member of the Information Group is requested
pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to
disclose any of the Information, the applicable member of the Information Group
will notify the Buyer promptly so that it may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy or, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms
of this SECTION 9.22. In the event that no such protective order or other
remedy is obtained, or that the Buyer waives compliance with the terms of this
SECTION 9.22, the applicable member of the Information Group may furnish only
that portion of the Information which it is advised by counsel is legally
required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance
that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information. Seller
acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Buyer or the
REIT against any actual or threatened breach of this SECTION 9.22, and, without
prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available, Seller agrees
to the granting of injunctive relief in favor of the REIT and/or the Buyer.
Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the

contemplated by this Contract is not consummated for any reason, then Buyer
will (i) return to Seller all documents and information obtained from Seller

applicable securities laws), without the Seller's prior written consent,
disclose any Information, the content or results of Buyer's investigations and
the information contained in the materials delivered by Seller to Buyer, in any
manner whatsoever or use the information gathered by Buyer or sent by Seller to

or more Affiliates, in connection with the issuance of such shares or
other interests in the Company and (3) the additional Partnership
Interests are issued in exchange for property owned by the Company or its
Affiliates (including, without limitation, the General Partner and
Education Realty OP Limited Partner Trust) with a fair market value, as
determined by the General Partner, in good faith, equal to the value of
the Partnership Interests, or (B) the additional Partnership Interests are
issued to all Partners in proportion to their respective Common Percentage
Interests or Preferred Percentage Interests, as applicable.
(iii) In the case of Education Realty Limited Partner, LLC, (A) such
additional Partnership Interests are issued as Common Partnership Units
and represent only a profits interest in the Partnership upon issuance
(i.e., such Common Partnership Units entitle Education Realty Limited
Partner, LLC to no right to receive any share of the value of the
Partnership's assets as of the date of the issuance of such Common
Partnership Units and entitle Education Realty Limited Partner, LLC only
the right to receive any profits or appreciation that are earned by the
Partnership or which inure to
10
the Partnership's assets after the date of the issuance of such Common
Partnership Units) and (B) the aggregate number of Common Partnership
Units held by Education Realty Limited Partner, LLC immediately after the
issuance of such Common Partnership Units will not exceed [___%] of the
aggregate issued and outstanding Common Partnership Units immediately
after such issuance.
Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to
cause the Partnership to issue Common Partnership Units or Preferred Partnership
Units for less than fair market value, so long as the General Partner concludes
in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company and the
Partnership.
(b) UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES. After the Offering, the
Company shall not issue any additional REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares
issued in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof) or
rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase REIT Shares
(collectively, "Additional Securities") other than to all holders of REIT
Shares, unless (A) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to
issue to the Company or its Affiliates, Partnership Interests or rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the
Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such
that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the
Additional Securities, and (B) the Company contributes, directly or
through one or more Affiliates, the proceeds or other property received
from the issuance of such Additional Securities and from any exercise of
rights contained in such Additional Securities to the Partnership.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may issue Additional Securities for
less than fair market value, and as a result the General Partner is expressly
authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to the Company or its Affiliates
corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the Company concludes in
good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company and the
Partnership, and (y) the Company, directly or through one or more Affiliates,
contributes all proceeds or other property received from such issuance to the
Partnership. For example, in the event the Company issues REIT Common Shares for
a cash purchase price and contributes, directly or through one or more
Affiliates, all of the proceeds of such issuance to the Partnership as required
hereunder, the Company or its Affiliates shall be issued a number of additional
Common Partnership Units equal to the product of (A) the number of such REIT
Common Shares issued by the Company, the proceeds of which were so contributed,
multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and the
denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such
contribution.
(c) CERTAIN DEEMED CONTRIBUTIONS OF PROCEEDS OF ISSUANCE OF REIT
SHARES. In connection with any and all issuances of REIT Shares, the
Company, directly or through one or more Affiliates, shall contribute all
of the proceeds raised in connection with such issuance to the Partnership
as Capital Contributions, PROVIDED THAT if the proceeds actually received
and contributed by the Company or its Affiliates are less than the gross
proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter's discount or
other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the
Company, directly or through one or more Affiliates, shall be deemed to
have made Capital Contributions to the Partnership in the aggregate amount
of the gross proceeds of such issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed
simultaneously to
11
have paid such offering expenses in connection with the required issuance
of additional Partnership Units to the Company or its Affiliates for such
Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof.
SECTION 4.4 ADDITIONAL FUNDING. If the General Partner determines that it
is in the best interests of the Partnership to provide for additional
Partnership funds ("Additional Funds") for any Partnership purpose, the General
Partner may (i) cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside
borrowings, or (ii) elect to have the General Partner provide such Additional
Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise.
SECTION 4.5 INTEREST. No interest shall be paid on the Capital
Contribution of any Partner.
SECTION 4.6 RETURN OF CAPITAL. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled to demand or receive the return of his
Capital Contribution.
SECTION 4.7 PERCENTAGE INTEREST. If the number of outstanding Common
Partnership Units increases or decreases during a taxable year, the General
Partner shall adjust each holder of Common Partnership Units' Percentage
Interest, as reflected on Exhibit A, to a percentage equal to the number of
Common Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of
outstanding Common Partnership Units.
ARTICLE V

12
(c) In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units

classes of Partnership Units.

Partnership within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. As Tax Matters

actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Tax Matters
Partner. The General Partner shall have the right to retain professional
assistance in respect of any audit of the Partnership by the IRS, and all
out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the
Partnership as Tax Matters Partner shall constitute Operating Expenses of the
Partnership. In the event the General Partner receives notice of a final
Partnership adjustment under Section 6223(a)(2) of the Code, the General Partner
shall either (i) file a court petition for judicial review of such final
adjustment within the period provided under Section 6226(a) of the Code, a copy
of which petition shall be mailed to each Limited Partner on the date such
petition is filed, or (ii) mail a written notice to each Limited Partner, within
such period, that describes the General Partner's reasons for determining not to

General Partner in its sole discretion.
(f) Any Partner shall have the right to inspect the books and records of

desiring it, such inspection is made during normal business hours and such audit
is for a purpose reasonably related to such Partner's legitimate interest as a
Partner.

accordance with this Section 5.3 and the principles set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof. The amount of cash and the Agreed Value
of property contributed to the Partnership by each Partner, net of liabilities
assumed by the Partnership or securing property contributed by such
13
Partner, shall be credited to its Capital Account, and from time to time, but
not less often than annually, the share of each Partner in profits, losses and
fair market value of distributions shall be credited or charged to its Capital
Account. The determination of Partners' Capital Accounts, and any adjustments
thereto, shall be made consistent with tax accounting and other principles set

Exhibit B attached hereto.
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in a guarantee of
a Partnership liability, signed by a Limited Partner, no Limited Partner shall
be required to make any further contribution to the capital of the Partnership
to restore a loss, to discharge any liability of the Partnership or for any
other purpose, nor shall any Limited Partner personally be liable for any
liabilities of the Partnership or of the General Partner except as provided by
law or this Agreement. All Limited Partners hereby waive their right of
contribution which they may have against other Partners in respect of any
payments made by them under any guarantee of Partnership debt.
(c) Immediately following the transfer of any Partnership Interest, the
Capital Account of the transferee Partner shall be equal to the Capital Account
of the transferor Partner attributable to the transferred interest, and such

deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts, the

and to possess and enjoy all of the rights and powers of a general partner as
provided by the Act.
16
Each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General Partner is authorized
to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned agreements and transactions
on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the
Partners, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (except as
provided in this Section 6.1(r), Section 9.1 or Article XI), the Act or any
applicable law, rule or regulation to the fullest extent permitted under the Act
or other applicable law, rule or regulation. The execution, delivery or
performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of any agreement
authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by
the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership
or the Limited Partners or any other persons under this Agreement or of any duty
stated or implied by law or equity.
Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the
General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, the
General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the extent
that Partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the performance of
such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or
require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual
funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any individual liability or
obligation on behalf of the Partnership.
SECTION 6.2 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. The General Partner may delegate any
or all of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ,
contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business
of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner,
perform any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may
approve.
SECTION 6.3 DUTIES OF GENERAL PARTNER.
(a) The General Partner, subject to the limitations contained elsewhere in
this Agreement, shall manage or cause to be managed the affairs of the
Partnership in a prudent and businesslike manner and shall devote sufficient
time and effort to the Partnership affairs.
(b) In carrying out its obligations, the General Partner shall:
(i) Render annual reports to all Partners with respect to the
operations of the Partnership;
(ii) On or before March 31st of every year, mail to all persons who
were Partners at any time during the Partnership's prior fiscal year an
annual report of the Partnership, including all necessary tax information,
and any other information regarding the Partnership and its operations
during the prior fiscal year deemed by the General Partner to be material;
(iii) Maintain complete and accurate records of all business
conducted by the Partnership and complete and accurate books of account
(containing such information as shall be necessary to record allocations
and distributions), and make such records and books of account available
for inspection and audit by any Partner or such Partner's duly authorized
representative (at the sole expense of such Partner) during regular
business hours and at the principal office of the Partnership; and
17
(iv) Cause to be filed such certificates and do such other acts as
may be required by law to qualify and maintain the Partnership as a
limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(c) The General Partner shall take such actions as it deems necessary to
maintain the economic equivalency of Common Partnership Units and REIT Common
Shares and Preferred Partnership Units and REIT Preferred Shares, respectively,
required by this Agreement.
SECTION 6.4 LIABILITIES OF GENERAL PARTNER; INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The General Partner shall not be liable for the return of all or any
part of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners. Any returns shall be
made solely from the assets of the Partnership according to the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
none of the General Partner or the Company nor any of their officers, directors,
agents or employees shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to
the Partnership, any Partners or any assignees, or any of their successors or
assigns, for any losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived
as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or
omission if the General Partner acted in good faith. The General Partner shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part on any agent
appointed by it in good faith pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. The Limited
Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of
the Partnership, the General Partner, the General Partner's shareholders and the
Company's shareholders collectively, and that the General Partner is under no
obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners
(including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or
their assignees) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or
decline to take) any actions. In the event of a conflict between the interests
of the shareholders of the General Partner or shareholders of the Company on one
hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor
in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the
shareholders of the Company or the Limited Partners; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for
so long as the Company owns a controlling interest, directly or indirectly, in
the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not
adverse to either the shareholders of the Company or the Limited Partners shall
be resolved in favor of the shareholders of the Company. The General Partner
shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities
incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such
decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.
(c) The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law and save and hold it harmless from and against, and in respect
of, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several),
expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and
other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to
the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any
Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnification shall not apply if: (A)
the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to
the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active
and deliberate dishonesty; (B) the Indemnitee actually received an improper
personal benefit in money, property or services; or (C) in the case of any
criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act
or omission was unlawful. The
18
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a
presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct
set forth in this Section 6.4(c). The termination of any proceeding by
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of
an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that
the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section
6.4(c). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be made only out
of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from the liability
policy covering the General Partner and any Indemnitee.
(d) The Partnership may reimburse an Indemnitee for reasonable expenses
incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written
affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as
authorized in this Section 6.4 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by
or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
(e) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.4 shall be in addition
to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled
under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or
otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in
such capacity.
(f) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the
Indemnitees, and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine,
against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be
incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership's activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
(g) For purposes of this Section 6.4, the Partnership shall be deemed to
have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan
whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also
imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the Indemnitee to the plan
or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law
shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 6.4; and actions taken
or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the
performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the Indemnitee to
be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be
deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the
Partnership.
(h) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal
liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Agreement.
(i) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part
under this Section 6.4 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction
with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was
otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(j) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.4 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
limitations on the General Partner's liability to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 6.4 as in effect
19
immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to
matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or
repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be
asserted. The provisions of this Section 6.4 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not
be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.
(k) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any
action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of
the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership,
undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or
advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Company to continue to
qualify as a REIT, or (ii) to prevent the Company from incurring any taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this
Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners. Further, any
provision of this Agreement that might jeopardize the Company's REIT status
shall be (i) void and of no effect, or (ii) reformed, as necessary, to avoid the
Company's loss of REIT status.
SECTION 6.5 COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNER; REIMBURSEMENT. The General
Partner, as such, shall not receive any compensation for services rendered to
the Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the General Partner
shall be entitled, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7 below, to
pay reasonable compensation to its Affiliates and other entities in which it may
be associated for services performed. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on
a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its
sole and absolute discretion, for all REIT Expenses.
SECTION 6.6 RELIANCE ON ACT OF GENERAL PARTNER. No financial institution
or any other person, firm or corporation dealing with the General Partner or the
Partnership shall be required to ascertain whether the General Partner is acting
in accordance with this Agreement, but such financial institution or such other
person, firm or corporation shall be protected in relying solely upon the
assurance of and the execution of any instrument or instruments by the General
Partner.
SECTION 6.7 OUTSIDE SERVICES; DEALINGS WITH AFFILIATES; OUTSIDE
ACTIVITIES.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI to the contrary, the
General Partner may employ such agents, accountants, attorneys and others as it
shall deem advisable, including its directors, officers, shareholders, and its
Affiliates and entities with which the General Partner, any Limited Partner or
their respective Affiliates may be associated, and may pay them reasonable
compensation from Partnership funds for services performed, which compensation
shall be reasonably believed by the General Partner to be comparable to and
competitive with fees charged by unrelated Persons who render comparable
services which could reasonably be made available to the Partnership. The
General Partner shall not be liable for the neglect, omission or wrongdoing of
any such Person so long as it appointed such Person in good faith.
(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or other
Persons in which it has an equity investment Partnership funds on terms and
conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General
Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor
of any Subsidiary or any other Person.
20
(c) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other
partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby
becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as are
consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.
(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General
Partner nor any of its Affiliates nor any Limited Partner shall sell, transfer
or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership,
directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that
are fair and reasonable to the Partnership.
(e) Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and any agreements entered
into by the General Partner or its Affiliates with the Partnership or a
Subsidiary, any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or
shareholder of the General Partner shall be entitled to and may have business
interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the
Partnership, including business interests and activities substantially similar
or identical to those of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any of the
Limited Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any
business ventures of such person.
(f) In the event the Company exercises its rights under its Articles of
Incorporation to redeem REIT Common Shares, then the General Partner shall cause
the Partnership to purchase from the Company a number of Common Partnership
Units determined based on the application of the Conversion Factor on the same
terms as those on which the Company redeemed such REIT Common Shares.
SECTION 6.8 ADDITIONAL LOANS TO THE PARTNERSHIP. If additional funds are
required by the Partnership for any purpose relating to the business of the
Partnership or for any of its obligations, expenses, costs, or expenditures,
including operating deficits, the Partnership may borrow such funds as are
needed from time to time from any Person (including, without limitation, the
General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the terms of any loan from the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General
Partner shall be substantially equivalent to the terms that could be obtained
from a third party on an arm's-length basis) on such terms as the General
Partner and such other Person may agree.
SECTION 6.9 CONTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. The Company, directly or through one
or more of its Affiliates, shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership
from time to time each asset it owns from time to time during the existence of
the Partnership, but it is not required to so contribute:
(a) its interests in the General Partner, Education Realty OP Limited
Partner Trust or Education Realty Limited Partner, LLC;
(b) its direct or indirect interest in any entity in a chain of entities
of which the Company is the sole beneficial owner, so long as all of the assets
or other ownership interests in the entity in that chain furthest removed from
the General Partner are contributed directly or indirectly to the Partnership;
or
(c) any equity interest in any entity of which the Company is the sole
beneficial owner that is created or used solely by the General Partner in
connection with any borrowing transaction in whole or in part for the benefit of
the Partnership.

ARTICLE VII
RIGHTS, PROHIBITIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS
WITH RESPECT TO LIMITED PARTNERS
SECTION 7.1 RIGHTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS.
(a) The Partnership may engage the Limited Partners or persons or firms
associated with them for specific purposes and may otherwise deal with such
Partners on terms and for compensation to be agreed upon by any such Partner and
the Partnership; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Limited Partner shall be entitled to
participate in the management or control of the business of the Partnership.
(b) The Partnership's books shall be kept at the principal place of
business of the Partnership and at all times, during reasonable business hours
and at such Partner's sole expense, shall be entitled to inspect and copy any of
them and have on demand true and full information of all things affecting the
Partnership and a formal accounting of Partnership affairs whenever
circumstances render it just and reasonable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, for such period
of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to
be reasonable, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited
Partners any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the
nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General
Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership
or (ii) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by
agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.
(c) No Limited Partner shall be liable for any debts, liabilities,
contracts or obligations of the Partnership. A Limited Partner shall be liable
to the Partnership only to make payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as
and when due hereunder. After its Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Limited
Partner shall, except as otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any
further Capital Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the
Partnership.
SECTION 7.2 PROHIBITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS No Limited
Partner shall have the right:
(a) To take part in the control or management of the Partnership business,
to transact business for or on behalf of the Partnership or to sign for or to
bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely in the General Partner as
set forth herein;
(b) To have such Partner's Capital Contributions repaid except to the
extent provided in this Agreement;
(c) To require partition of Partnership property or to compel any sale or
appraisement of Partnership assets or sale of a deceased Partner's interests
therein, notwithstanding any provisions of law to the contrary; or
(d) To sell or assign all or any portion of such Partner's Limited
Partnership Interest in the Partnership or to constitute the vendee or assignee
thereunder a Substitute Limited Partner, except as provided in Article IX
hereof.
22
SECTION 7.3 OWNERSHIP BY LIMITED PARTNER OF CORPORATE GENERAL PARTNER OR
AFFILIATE. No Limited Partner shall at any time, either directly or indirectly,
own any shares or other interest in the General Partner or in any Affiliate
thereof if such ownership by itself or in conjunction with other shares or other
interests owned by other Limited Partners would, in the opinion of counsel for
the Partnership, jeopardize the classification of the Partnership as a
partnership or the Company as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The
General Partner shall be entitled to make such reasonable inquiry of the Limited
Partners as is required to establish compliance by the Limited Partners with the
provisions of this Section 7.3 and the Limited Partners shall promptly and fully
respond to such inquiries.
SECTION 7.4 REDEMPTION RIGHT.
(a) Subject to Section 7.4(b) and Section 7.4(c), and the provisions of
any agreements between the Partnership and one or more Limited Partners, each
Limited Partner shall have the right (the "Redemption Right") to require the
Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of the
Common Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner at a redemption price
equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. The
Partnership shall have up to one (1) year (the "Payout Period") following
exercise of a Redemption Right to pay the Cash Amount to the Limited Partner who
is exercising the redemption right (the "Redeeming Partner"). From and after the
Specified Redemption Date, the Cash Amount (or portion thereof) due and payable
to a Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of its
Redemption Right shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lower of (i) the
Company's annual dividend rate on REIT Common Shares for the prior twelve (12)
month period, or (ii) eight percent (8%) per annum, until the Cash Amount (or
portion thereof) shall be paid in full by the Partnership. The Redemption Right
shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the
Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Redeeming Partner. A
Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for less than one thousand
(1,000) Common Partnership Units or, if such Limited Partner holds less than one
thousand (1,000) Common Partnership Units, less than all of the Common
Partnership Units held by such Partner. Moreover, a Limited Partner may not
exercise the Redemption Right more than once per calendar quarter, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the General Partner may amend this Section 7.4(a) to limit the
number of exercises of the Redemption Right by the Limited Partners to not less
than once per calendar year. Neither the Redeeming Partner nor any permitted or
purported assignee of any Limited Partner shall have any right with respect to
any Common Partnership Units so redeemed to receive any distributions paid after
the Specified Redemption Date. Neither the Redeeming Partner nor any permitted
or purported assignee of any Limited Partner shall have any right, with respect
to any Common Partnership Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid
after the Specified Redemption Date. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to provide
such representations and related indemnities regarding good and unencumbered
title, and to execute such documents, as the General Partner may reasonably
require in connection with any redemption.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.4(a), in the event a
Limited Partner elects to exercise the Redemption Right, the General Partner at
the direction of the Company, directly or indirectly through one or more
Affiliates, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to assume directly
and satisfy a Redemption Right by paying to the Redeeming Partner either (i) the
Cash Amount, as provided for in Section 7.4(a), or (ii) the REIT Common Shares
Amount, as elected by the General Partner, as directed by the Company (in its
sole and absolute
23
discretion), on the Specified Redemption Date, provided that the Company may
defer payment of the Cash Amount until the end of the Payout Period described in
Section 7.4(a) (in which case the Cash Amount shall bear interest as described
in Section 7.4(a)), and provided, further, that the Company may, if it has
elected so to defer payment of the Cash Amount, further elect at any time before
the end of the Payout Period to pay all or any portion of the unpaid Cash Amount
with REIT Common Shares having a Value equal to such portion of the Cash Amount
plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. On any such election, the Company,
directly or indirectly through one or more Affiliates, shall acquire the Common
Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Common
Partnership Units. Unless the General Partner, as directed by the Company (in
its sole and absolute discretion), shall exercise its right to assume directly
and satisfy the Redemption Right, neither the General Partner nor the Company
itself shall have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or to the Partnership
with respect to the Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right. In the
event the General Partner, as directed by the Company shall exercise its right
to satisfy the Redemption Right in the manner described in the first sentence of
this Section 7.4(b), the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount
to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of
the Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership, and
the Company shall treat the transaction between the Company and the Redeeming
Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Redeeming Partner's
Common Partnership Units to the Company or its Affiliates. Each Redeeming
Partner agrees to provide such representations and related indemnities regarding
good and unencumbered title, and to execute such documents, as the Company may
reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Common Shares upon
exercise of the Redemption Right. If the Redemption Right is satisfied by the
delivery of REIT Common Shares, the Redeeming Partner shall be deemed to become
a holder of REIT Common Shares as of the close of business on the Specified
Redemption Date or on such later date permitted by this Section 7.4(b) that the
Company delivers REIT Common Shares in satisfaction of a deferred payment of the
Cash Amount, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.4(a) or this Section
7.4(b), and in addition to the right of the Company to deliver REIT Common
Shares in satisfaction of a deferred payment of the Cash Amount, as provided
above, should the General Partner, as directed by the Company elect to satisfy a
Redemption Right by paying the Redeeming Partner the REIT Common Shares Amount,
and it is necessary to obtain Company shareholder approval in order for it to
issue sufficient REIT Common Shares to satisfy such Redemption Right in full,
then the Company shall have one hundred twenty (120) days beyond the Specified
Redemption Date in which to obtain such shareholder approval and to pay the REIT
Common Shares Amount, and the redemption date shall be required to occur by the
earliest of: (i) ten (10) days after shareholder approval of the issuance of the
REIT Common Shares has been obtained, if it is obtained; (ii) the date on which
the General Partner, as directed by the Company elects to pay such Redeeming
Partner the Cash Amount; or (iii) one hundred and thirty (130) days after the
Specified Redemption Date. If such shareholder approval is not obtained, the
Partnership shall pay to the Redeeming Partner the Cash Amount no later than the
end of what the Payout Period would have been had the General Partner, as
directed by the Company not elected to pay the REIT Common Share Amount upon the
redemption, together with interest on such Cash Amount as specified in Section
7.4(a) hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.4(a) and Section 7.4(b), a
Limited Partner shall not be entitled to receive REIT Common Shares if the
delivery of REIT Common Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date
(or such later date permitted by Section 7.4(b), as applicable) by the Company
pursuant to Section 7.4(b) would be prohibited
24
under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended or restated from
time to time. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, no Person
shall be permitted to receive REIT Common Shares if as a result of, and after
giving effect to, such exercise any Person would Beneficially Own (as defined in
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended or restated from time
to time) more than 9.8% of the total number of issued and outstanding REIT
Common Shares, unless waived by the board of directors of the Company in its
sole discretion. To the extent any attempted redemption for REIT Common Shares
would be a violation of this Section 7.4(c), it shall be null and void ab
initio. The Cash Amount shall be paid in such instances, in accordance with the
terms set forth in Section 7.4(a) or 7.4(b).
(d) Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner
that all Common Partnership Units delivered for redemption shall be delivered to
the Partnership, the Company or its Affiliates, as the case may be, free and
clear of all liens and, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, neither the General Partner, the Company (nor any of its Affiliates)
nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire Common Partnership
Units which are or may be subject to any liens. Each Limited Partner further
agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as
a result of the transfer of its Common Partnership Units to the General Partner,
Partnership or the Company, such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such
transfer tax.
(e) REIT Common Shares issued pursuant to Section 7.4(b) may contain such
legends regarding restrictions on transfer as the Company in good faith
determines to be necessary or advisable in order to (1) comply with restrictions
on transfer under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and
(2) protect the ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT.
SECTION 7.5 WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS. Each
Limited Partner contributing Initial Contributed Assets hereby warrants and
represents to and for the benefit of the General Partner and the Partnership
that, as of the date hereof, such Limited Partner owns good, valid and
marketable title to the interests in the Initial Contributed Assets being
contributed to the capital of the Partnership by such Limited Partner (the
"Ownership Interests") and that except as provided on Exhibit A, such Ownership
Interests are free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security
interests, encumbrances and restrictions of any nature whatsoever. Each Limited
Partner further warrants and represents to and for the benefit of the General
Partner and the Partnership that such Limited Partner has all necessary power
and authority to transfer the Ownership Interests to the Partnership without the
consent or authorization of, or notice to, any third party, except those third
parties from whom such consents or authorizations were obtained.
SECTION 7.6 INDEMNIFICATION BY LIMITED PARTNERS. Each Limited Partner
contributing Initial Contributed Assets hereby agrees to indemnify the General
Partner and the Partnership and hold the General Partner, its officers and
directors and the Partnership and its partners and each of their respective
representatives, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) the inaccuracy of the
warranties and representations made by such Limited Partner under Section 7.5
above, or (ii) the ownership of the Ownership Interests by such Limited Partner
and any activities, obligations or liabilities of, or related to, the Initial
Contributed Assets to which such Ownership Interest relates for all periods
prior to the date of this Agreement.
25
SECTION 7.7 NOTICE OF SALE OR REFINANCING. The General Partner shall
notify the Limited Partners no less than thirty (30) days prior to any sale,
refinancing, reduction (other than scheduled periodic amortization of principal)
of debt or other event that will reduce the amount of any nonrecourse
liabilities of the Partnership that a Limited Partner may include in the tax
basis of his or its Partnership Interests.
SECTION 7.8 BASIS ANALYSIS AND LIMITED PARTNER GUARANTEES.
(a) Upon the request of any Limited Partner but subject to the General
Partner's agreement, which may be withheld in the General Partner's sole
discretion, the General Partner may, prior to the end of each calendar year,
beginning in 2005, cause accountants to prepare and provide to the Limited
Partners a study analyzing each refinancing, reduction (other than scheduled
periodic amortization of principal) of debt or other event that occurred during
that year that reduced the amount of any nonrecourse liabilities of the
Partnership that a Limited Partner may include in the tax basis of its
Partnership Interests.
(b) Upon the request of the General Partner, or upon a Limited Partner's
own election but subject to the General Partner's agreement, which may be
withheld in the General Partner's sole discretion, a Limited Partner (the
"Initiating Limited Partner") from time to time, may, but shall not be required
to, guarantee or otherwise provide credit support for Partnership indebtedness
as such Limited Partner may elect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Limited Partner
shall be entitled to take such action only if the General Partner determines
that any such action would not have a material adverse effect on the tax
position of the General Partner. All Partners are entitled to notice of any such
guarantee or credit support, and shall have the right to provide guarantees or
credit support on the same terms and conditions as the Initiating Limited
Partner does, and all Limited Partners interested in providing such guarantee or
credit support shall cooperate with the General Partner and each other in
considering any guarantee or credit support proposal, and the General Partner
will cooperate in permitting or obtaining any consents for such guarantees or
credit support.
ARTICLE VIII
DISTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENTS TO PARTNERS
SECTION 8.1 DISTRIBUTIONS OF CASH FLOW.
(a) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute on a
quarterly basis such portion of the Cash Flow of the Partnership as the General
Partner shall determine in its sole discretion. Such distributions shall be made
to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date established by
the General Partner in accordance with their respective Common Percentage
Interests.
(b) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of Cash Flow with
respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a dividend
out of the Company's share of such Cash Flow with respect to a REIT Share for
which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been exchanged.
SECTION 8.2 REIT DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS. Unless the General Partner
determines that such a distribution would not be in the best interests of the
Partnership, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute
sufficient amounts to enable the
26
Company (i) to meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as
set forth in Section 857(a)(1) of the Code, and (ii) to avoid the excise tax
imposed by Section 4981 of the Code.
SECTION 8.3 NO RIGHT TO DISTRIBUTIONS IN KIND. No Partner shall be
entitled to demand property other than cash in connection with any distribution
by the Partnership.
SECTION 8.4 DISTRIBUTIONS OF DISPOSITION PROCEEDS. Disposition Proceeds
shall be distributed to the Partners who have positive Capital Account balances
in accordance with such Partners' respective positive Capital Account balances.
The Capital Account balances of all of the Partners shall be adjusted
immediately after any Capital Transaction and prior to any distribution pursuant
to this Section 8.4 to reflect the allocation of all profits and losses of the
Partnership through the date of the event of the transaction that produces such
Disposition Proceeds.
SECTION 8.5 WITHDRAWALS. No Partner shall be entitled to make withdrawals
from its Capital Account, or withdraw as a Limited Partner, except as expressly
provided herein.
SECTION 8.6 AMENDMENT. In the event the Partnership issues additional
Partnership Units pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the General
Partner is hereby authorized to make such revisions to this Article VIII as it
determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional
Partnership units, including without limitation, making preferential
distributions to certain classes of Partnership Units.
ARTICLE IX
TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS
SECTION 9.1 GENERAL PARTNER.
(a) Other than to an Affiliate of the General Partner, the General Partner
may not transfer any of its General Partnership Interest or Limited Partnership
Interests or withdraw as General Partner except as provided in Section 9.1(b) or
in connection with a transaction described in Section 9.1(c).
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.7 or Section 9.1(c), the
General Partner, the Company or their Subsidiaries shall not engage in any
merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person or in any
sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any reclassification, or
recapitalization or change of outstanding REIT Common Shares (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination as described in the definition of "Conversion
Factor") (each of the foregoing being herein referred to as a "Transaction"),
unless the Transaction also includes a merger of the Partnership or sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or other transaction as a
result of which all Limited Partners will receive for each Common Partnership
Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of the
Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property
paid to a holder of one REIT Common Share in consideration of one REIT Common
Share as a result of the Transaction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, in connection
with the Transaction, a purchase,
27
tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT Common Shares, the holders
of Common Partnership Units shall receive the greatest amount of cash,
securities or other property which a Limited Partner would have received had it
exercised the Redemption Right and the General Partner at the direction of the
Company had exercised its election to satisfy the Redemption Right by the
issuance of REIT Common Shares immediately prior to the expiration of such
purchase, tender or exchange offer, PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that Education
Realty Limited Partner, LLC will only be entitled to receive an amount of cash,
securities or other property equal to the product of the number of REIT Common
Shares that would constitute the REIT Common Shares Amount if Education Realty
Limited Partner, LLC had offered all of its Common Partnership Units for
redemption and the Specified Redemption Date were the date of the closing of the
Transaction multiplied by the greatest amount of cash, securities or other
property paid in consideration for one REIT Common Share in connection with the
Transaction or in connection with a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is
accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT
Common Shares, as applicable.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 9.1(b), the General Partner, the Company or
their Subsidiaries may merge into or consolidate with another entity if
immediately after such merger or consolidation (i) substantially all of the
assets of the successor or surviving entity (the "Surviving Partner"), other
than Partnership Units held by the General Partner, Education Realty OP Limited
Partners Trust, Education Realty OP Limited Partner Trust, the Company or their
Subsidiaries, are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in
exchange for Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of
the assets so contributed as determined by the Surviving Partner in good faith
and (ii) the Surviving Partner or one of its Subsidiaries expressly agrees to
assume all obligations of the General Partner hereunder. Upon such contribution
and assumption, the Surviving Partner shall have the right and duty to amend
this Agreement as set forth in this Section 9.1(c). The Surviving Partner shall
in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Cash Amount and
Conversion Factor for a Common Partnership Unit after any such merger or
consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as
closely as reasonably possible. Such calculation shall take into account, among
other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that
was receivable upon such merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or
options, warrants or other rights relating thereto, and which a holder of Common
Partnership Units could have acquired had such Common Partnership Units been
redeemed immediately prior to such merger or consolidation. Such amendment to
this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of calculation, which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided
for with respect to the Conversion Factor. The above provisions of this Section
9.1(c) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted
hereunder.
SECTION 9.2 ADMISSION OF A SUBSTITUTE OR ADDITIONAL GENERAL PARTNER. A
Person shall be admitted as a Substitute or Additional General Partner of the
Partnership only if the transaction giving rise to such substitution or
admission is otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the following terms
and conditions are satisfied:
(a) the Person to be admitted as a Substitute or Additional General
Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other
documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect
the admission of such Person as a General Partner, and a certificate evidencing
the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed
28
for recordation and all other actions required by the Act in connection with
such admission shall have been performed;
(b) if the Person to be admitted as a Substitute or Additional General
Partner is a corporation or a partnership, it shall have provided the
Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such
Person's authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; and
(c) counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion (relying on
such opinions from counsel of any state or any other jurisdiction as may be
necessary) that the admission of the Person to be admitted as a Substitute or
Additional General Partner is in conformity with the Act and that none of the
actions taken in connection with the admission of such Person as a Substitute or
Additional General Partner will cause the termination of the Partnership under
Section 708 of the Code, or will cause it to be classified as other than a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, or will result in the loss of any
Limited Partner's limited liability status.
SECTION 9.3 EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY, WITHDRAWAL, DEATH OR DISSOLUTION OF A
GENERAL PARTNER.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General Partner
(and its automatic removal pursuant to Section 9.4(a) hereof) or the withdrawal
or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a General Partner is on the
date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a partner in such partnership shall be deemed
not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if the business of such General
Partner is continued within ninety (90) days by the remaining general partners
or all remaining members of such partnership), the Partnership shall be
dissolved and terminated unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section
9.3(b).
(b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General
Partner or the withdrawal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a
General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal,
death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a partner in such
partnership shall be deemed not be a dissolution of such General Partner if the
business of such General Partner is continued within ninety (90) days by all
remaining general partners or all remaining members of such partnership),
persons holding at least a majority of the Limited Partnership Interests, within
ninety (90) days after such occurrence, may elect to continue the business of
the Partnership for the balance of the term specified in Section 3.2 by
selecting, subject to Section 9.2 and any other applicable provisions of this
Agreement, a Substitute General Partner by majority vote of the Limited
Partnership Interests. If the Limited Partners elect to reconstitute the
Partnership and admit a Substitute General Partner, the relationship between the
Partners and any Person who has acquired an interest of a Partner in the
Partnership shall be governed by this Agreement.
SECTION 9.4 REMOVAL OF A GENERAL PARTNER.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the
dissolution of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be
removed automatically; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a General Partner is on the
date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a
29
partner in such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of the
General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued within
ninety (90) days by the remaining general partners or all remaining members of
such partnership.
(b) If a General Partner has been removed pursuant to this Section 9.4(a)
and the Partnership is not continued pursuant to Section 9.3(b), the partnership
shall be dissolved.
(c) A General Partner may not be removed by the Limited Partners with or
without cause.
SECTION 9.5 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, no Limited Partner
may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer its Limited
Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation
of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a "Transfer"), without
the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the
sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the
consent required by this Section 9.5(a) shall not be required in the event of a
Transfer on or after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement by a
Limited Partner that was a limited partnership as of the date of this Agreement
to any of its partners. The General Partner may require, as a condition of any
Transfer, that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in
connection therewith.
(b) No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited Partnership
Interest if, (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, such
proposed Transfer would require the registration of the Limited Partnership
Interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise
violate any applicable federal or state securities or "Blue Sky" law (including
investment suitability standards) or (ii) the assignee is not an Accredited
Investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
(c) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made
to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, the
Transfer would result in the Partnership's being treated as an association
taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary within the
meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) such transfer is effectuated
through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market" (or the
substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code,
(iii) the Transfer would create a risk that the Company would not be taxed as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes or (iv) assuming the Partnership Units
subject to the Transfer were redeemed for REIT Shares, the redemption would
create a risk that the Company would not be taxed as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes.
(d) Section 9.5(a) shall not prevent any donative Transfer by an
individual Limited Partner to his immediate family members or any trust in which
the individual or his immediate family members own, collectively, one hundred
percent (100%) of the beneficial interests, provided that the transferor assumes
all costs of the Partnership in connection therewith and any such transferee
shall not have the rights of a Substitute Limited Partner (unless and until
admitted as a Substitute Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 9.5 and
Section 9.6 of this Agreement).
30
(e) No Transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest may be made to a lender
of the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section
1.752-4(b) of the Treasury Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose
loan constitutes a "nonrecourse liability" (as defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(3)
of the Treasury Regulations), without the consent of the General Partner, in its
sole and absolute discretion, provided that as a condition to such consent the
lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and
the General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Cash Amount any Partnership
Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which
such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of
allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.
(f) Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article
IX shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized
by, the Partnership.
SECTION 9.6 ADMISSION OF SUBSTITUTE LIMITED PARTNER.
(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 9.5(a) regarding consent of the General
Partner), an assignee of the Limited Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner
(including, without limitation, any purchaser, transferee, donee, or other
recipient of any disposition of such Limited Partnership Interest) shall be
deemed admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership only upon the
satisfactory completion of the following:
(i) the assignee has obtained the prior written consent of the
General Partner as to its admission as a Substitute Limited Partner, which
consent may be given or denied in the exercise of the General Partner's
sole and absolute discretion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section
9.6(a)(i) shall not apply in the case of assignee resulting from a
Transfer by a Limited Partner that was a partner as of the date of this
Agreement to any of its partners;
(ii) the assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the
terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart or an
amendment thereof, including a revised Exhibit A, and such other documents
or instruments as the General Partner may require in order to effect the

partnership evidencing the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner
shall have been signed, acknowledged and filed for record in accordance
with the Act;
(iv) the assignee shall have delivered a letter containing the
representation and warranty set forth in Section 9.11 and the agreement
set forth in Section 9.11;
(v) if the assignee is a corporation, partnership or trust, the
assignee shall have provided the General Partner with evidence
satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of the assignee's authority to
become a Limited Partner under the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(vi) the assignee shall have executed a power of attorney containing
the terms and provisions set forth in Article XII; and

(vii) the assignee shall have paid all reasonable legal fees of the

received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as
having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner
upon the filing of the certificate described in Section 9.6(a)(iii) or, if no
such filing is required, the later of the date specified in the transfer
documents, or the date on which the General Partner has received all necessary
instruments of transfer and substitution.
(c) The General Partner shall as promptly as practicable take all action
required to effectuate the admission of the Person seeking to become a
Substitute Limited Partner, including preparing the documentation required by

SECTION 9.7 RIGHTS OF ASSIGNEES OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.5 and 9.6 hereof, except as
required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated for any
purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner of his
Partnership Interest until the Partnership has received notice thereof. If the
General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent (subject
to the proviso in Section 9.6(a)(i)) to the admission of any transferee of any
Partnership Interest as a Substitute Limited Partner in connection with a
Transfer permitted by Section 9.5, such transferee shall be considered an
assignee for the purposes of this Agreement. An assignee shall be entitled to
all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act,
including the right to receive distributions attributable to the Partnership
Units assigned, but such assignee shall not be entitled to effect a consent or
effect a Redemption Right or vote with respect to such Partnership Units on any
matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such right to consent or
vote or effect a Redemption Right, to the extent provided in this Agreement or
under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Limited Partner).
(b) Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited
Partner's Limited Partnership Interest, but does not become a Substitute Limited
Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited Partnership
Interest, shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article IX to the
same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an
assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.
SECTION 9.8 EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEATH, INCOMPETENCE OR TERMINATION OF A
LIMITED PARTNER. The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited
Partner, the death of a Limited Partner or a final adjudication that a Limited
Partner is incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to,
insanity) shall not cause the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and
the business of the Partnership shall continue. If an order for relief in a
bankruptcy proceeding is entered against an individual Limited Partner, the
trustee or receiver of his estate or, if he dies, his executor, administrator or
trustee, or, if he is finally adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian
or conservator, shall have the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of
settling or managing his estate property and such power as the bankrupt,
deceased or incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any
32
part of his Partnership Interest and to join with the assignee in satisfying
conditions precedent to the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Limited
Partner.
SECTION 9.9 TRANSFEREES. Any Partnership Interests owned by the Partners
and transferred pursuant to this Article IX shall be and remain subject to all
of the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.10 ABSOLUTE RESTRICTION. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the sale or exchange of any interest in the
Partnership will not be permitted if the interest sought to be sold or
exchanged, when added to the total of all other interests sold or exchanged
within the period of twelve (12) consecutive months ending with the proposed
date of the sale or exchange, would result in the termination of the Partnership
under Section 708 of the Code, if such termination would materially and
adversely affect the Partnership or any Partner.
SECTION 9.11 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. Each Limited Partner hereby
represents and warrants to the General Partner and to the Partnership that the
acquisition of his Partnership Interest is made as a principal for his account
for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution
of such Partnership Interest. Each Limited Partner agrees that he will not sell,
assign or otherwise transfer his Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof,
whether voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise, to
any Person who does not similarly represent and warrant and similarly agree not
to sell, assign or transfer such Partnership Interest or fraction thereof to any
Person who does not similarly represent, warrant and agree.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
SECTION 10.1 TERMINATION. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon (i) an
Event of Bankruptcy as to the General Partner or the dissolution or withdrawal
of the General Partner (unless within ninety (90) days thereafter Limited
Partners holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the Limited Partnership
Interests in the Partnership elect to continue the Partnership and to elect one
or more persons to serve as the General Partner or General Partners of the
Partnership), (ii) ninety (90) days following the sale of all or substantially
all of the Partnership's assets (provided that if the Partnership receives an

Partnership shall continue, unless sooner dissolved under the provisions of this
Agreement, until such time as such obligation is paid in full), (iii) the
expiration of the term specified in Section 3.2, (iv) the redemption of all
Limited Partnership Interests (other than any of such interests held by the
General Partner, Education Realty OP Limited Partner Trust or Education Realty
Limited Partner, LLC), or (v) the election by the General Partner (but only in
accordance with and as permitted by applicable law) that the Partnership should
be dissolved. Upon dissolution of the Partnership (unless the business of the

trustee, receiver, successor or legal representative) shall proceed with the
winding up of the Partnership, and its assets shall be applied and distributed
as herein provided.
33
SECTION 10.2 PAYMENT OF DEBTS. The assets shall first be applied to the
payment of the liabilities of the Partnership (other than any loans or advances
that may have been made by Partners to the Partnership) and the expenses of
liquidation. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of
the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so
as to enable the General Partner to minimize any losses resulting from
liquidation.
SECTION 10.3 DEBTS TO PARTNERS. The remaining assets shall next be applied
after payments of the Partnership's debts and liabilities referred to in Section
10.2 to the repayment of any loans made by any Partner to the Partnership.
SECTION 10.4 REMAINING DISTRIBUTION. The remaining assets after payment of
all Partnership debts and liabilities referred to in Sections 10.2 and 10.3
shall then be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their positive
Capital Account balances, determined after taking into account all Capital
Account adjustments for all prior periods and the Partnership taxable year
during which the liquidation occurs.
SECTION 10.5 RESERVE. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.3 and
10.4, the General Partner may retain such amount as it deems necessary as a
reserve for any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, which
reserve, after the passage of a reasonable period of time, shall be distributed
pursuant to the provisions of this Article X.
SECTION 10.6 FINAL ACCOUNTING. Each of the Partners shall be furnished
with a statement examined by the Partnership's independent accountants, which
shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of
the complete liquidation. Upon the compliance by the General Partner with the
foregoing distribution plan, the Limited Partners shall cease to be such, and
the General Partner, as the sole remaining Partner of the Partnership, shall
execute and cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership
and any and all other documents necessary with respect to termination and
cancellation of the Partnership.

EXHIBIT B
FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
For purposes of interpreting and implementing Article V of the Partnership
Agreement, the following rules shall apply and shall be treated as part of the
terms of the Partnership Agreement:
A. SPECIAL ALLOCATION PROVISIONS.
1. For purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss to be allocated
pursuant to Article V of the Partnership Agreement, any basis adjustments
permitted pursuant to Section 743 of the Code shall be disregarded.
2. When Partnership Interests are transferred during any taxable year, the
General Partner intends to allocate Partnership income, loss, deductions and
credits using the closing of the books method.
3. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Partnership Agreement, to
the extent required by law, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to
property contributed to the Partnership by a Partner shall be shared among the
Partners so as to take into account any variation between the basis of the
property and the fair market value of the property at the time of contribution
in accordance with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and the
applicable regulations thereunder as more fully described in Part B hereof.
Treasury Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code allow partnerships to use
any reasonable method for accounting for Book-Tax Differences for contributions
of property so that a contributing partner receives the tax benefits and burdens
of any built-in gain or loss associated with contributed property. The Operating
Partnership shall account for Book-Tax Differences using a method determined by
the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. An allocation of
remaining built-in gain under Section 704(c) will be made when Section 704(c)
property is sold.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Partnership Agreement, in
the event the Partnership is entitled to a deduction for interest imputed under
any provision of the Code on any loan or advance from a Partner (whether such
interest is currently deducted, capitalized or amortized), such deduction shall
be allocated solely to such Partner.
5. Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, to the extent any payments in the nature of fees made to a Partner or
reimbursements of expenses to any Partner are finally determined by the IRS to
be distributions to a Partner for federal income tax purposes, there will be a
gross income allocation to such Partner in the amount of such distribution.
6. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary and subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 1.704-2(f)(2)-(5) of
the Treasury Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during any Partnership fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated
items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease
in Partnership Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g)(2)
of the Treasury Regulations. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall
be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations. This paragraph
6(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain
chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such Section of
the Treasury Regulations and for purposes of this paragraph 6(a) only, each
Partner's Adjusted Capital Account Balance shall be determined prior to any
other allocations pursuant to Article V of the Partnership Agreement with
respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any net decrease in Partner
Minimum Gain during such fiscal year.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, except paragraph 6(a) of this Exhibit and subject to the exceptions
set forth in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, if there is a
net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership
fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(3) of the
Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income
and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal
to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum
Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury
Regulations. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner
pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. This paragraph 6(b) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section
of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
Solely for purposes of this paragraph 6(b), each Partner's Adjusted Capital
Account Balance shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to
Article V of the Partnership Agreement with respect to such fiscal year, other
than allocations pursuant to paragraph 6(a) hereof.
7. Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, in the event any Partners unexpectedly receive any adjustments,
allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6),
items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such
Partners in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficits in their
Adjusted Capital Account Balances created by such adjustments, allocations or
distributions as quickly as possible.
8. No loss shall be allocated to any Partner to the extent that such
allocation would result in a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account Balance
while any other Partner continues to have a positive Adjusted Capital Account
Balance; in such event, losses shall first be allocated to any Partners with
positive Adjusted Capital Account Balances, and in proportion to such balances,
to the extent necessary to reduce their positive Adjusted Capital Account
Balances to zero. Any excess shall be allocated to the General Partner.
9. Any special allocations of items pursuant to this Part A shall be taken
into account in computing subsequent allocations so that the net amount of any
items so allocated and the profits, losses and all other items allocated to each
such Partner pursuant to Article V of the Partnership Agreement shall, to the
extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to
each such Partner pursuant to the provisions of Article V of the Partnership
Agreement if such special allocations had not occurred.
10. Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be
specially allocated to the Partners in the manner and in accordance with the
percentages set forth in Section 5.1 of the Partnership Agreement.
11. Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement to the
contrary, any Partner Nonrecourse Deduction for any fiscal year or other period
shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss
with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i) of the
Treasury Regulations.
B. CAPITAL ACCOUNT ADJUSTMENTS AND 704(c) TAX ALLOCATIONS.
1. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain,
deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts, the
determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same
as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax
purposes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:
(a) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition
of any property shall be determined by the Partnership as if the adjusted basis
of such property as of such date of disposition was equal in amount to (i) the
Agreed Value in the case of the Initial Contributed Assets or other contributed
properties, or (ii) the Carrying Value with respect to property subsequently
purchased.
(b) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction
shall be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section
705(a)(1)(B) or Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact
that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently
deductible nor capitalizable for federal income tax purposes.
2. A transferee of a Partnership Interest will succeed to the Capital
Account relating to the Partnership Interest transferred.
3. Upon an issuance of additional Partnership Interests, the Capital
Accounts of all Partners (and the Agreed Values of all Partnership properties)
shall, immediately prior to such issuance, be adjusted (consistent with the
provisions hereof) upward or downward to reflect any unrealized gain or
unrealized loss attributable to each Partnership property (as if such unrealized
gain or unrealized loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of such property
at the fair market value thereof, immediately prior to such issuance, and had
been allocated to the Partners, at such time, pursuant to Article V of the
Partnership Agreement). In determining such unrealized gain or unrealized loss
attributable to the properties, the fair market value of Partnership properties
shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable methods of
valuation as it may adopt.
4. Immediately prior to the distribution of any Partnership property in
liquidation of the Partnership, the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall be
adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof and Section 704 of the Code)
upward or downward to reflect any unrealized gain or unrealized loss
attributable to the Partnership property (as if such unrealized gain or
unrealized loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each such property,
immediately prior to such distribution, and had been allocated to the Partners,
at such time, pursuant to Article V of the Partnership Agreement). In
determining such unrealized gain or unrealized loss attributable to property,
the fair market value of Partnership property shall be determined by the General
Partner using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt.
5. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property shall,
solely for tax purposes, and
not for Capital Account purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take
account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes.
6. In the event the Agreed Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted as
described in paragraph 3 above, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between
the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Agreed
Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.
7. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be
made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose
and intention of this Agreement.
C. DEFINITIONS.
1. For the purposes of this Exhibit, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
"ADJUSTED CAPITAL ACCOUNT BALANCE": means the balance in the Capital
Account of a Partner as of the end of the relevant fiscal year of the
Partnership, after giving effect to the following: (i) credit to such Capital
Account any amounts the Partner is obligated to restore, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise, or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to
the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the
Treasury Regulations, and (ii) debit to such capital account the items described
in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) of the Treasury Regulations.
"AGREED VALUE": means the net fair market value of Contributed Property as
agreed to by the Contributing Partner and the Partnership (or other property
subsequently adjusted to reflect contributions), using such reasonable method of
valuation as they may adopt and as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
Paragraph B.3 of this Exhibit.
"BOOK-TAX DIFFERENCE" means, with respect to any item of Contributed
Property, as of the date of any determination, the difference between the
Carrying Value of such Contributed Property and the adjusted basis thereof for
federal income tax purposes as of such date. A Partner's share of the Book-Tax
Difference in all of its Contributed Property will be reflected by the
difference between such Partner's Capital Account balance and the hypothetical
balance of such Partner's Capital Account computed as if it had been maintained
strictly in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles.
"CARRYING VALUE": means the adjusted basis of such property for federal
income tax purposes as of the time of determination.
"NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS": shall have the meaning set forth in Section
1.704-2(b)(1) of the Treasury Regulations. The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions
for a Partnership fiscal year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if
any, in the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain during that fiscal year over the
aggregate amount of any distributions during that fiscal year of proceeds of a
Nonrecourse Liability, that are allocable to an increase in
Partnership Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Section
1.704-2(c) of the Treasury Regulations.
"NONRECOURSE LIABILITY": shall have the meaning set forth in Section
1.704-2(b)(3) of the Treasury Regulations.
"PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEBT MINIMUM GAIN": means an amount, with respect to
each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)
of the Treasury Regulations.
"PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEBT": shall have the meaning set forth in Section
1.704-2(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations.
"PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS": shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 1.704-2(i)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. For any Partnership taxable
year, the amount of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Partner
Nonrecourse Debt equal the net increase during the year, if any, in the amount
of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain reduced (but not below zero) by
proceeds of the liability that are both attributable to the liability and
allocable to an increase in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.
"PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT": shall mean this Amended and Restated Limited
Partnership Agreement of Education Realty Operating Partnership, LP.
"PARTNERSHIP MINIMUM GAIN": shall have the meaning set forth in Sections
1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d) of the Treasury Regulations.

acknowledged, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:
Section 1. Restrictions on Sale.
(a) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (b) of this 0,
the General Partner and the Partnership jointly and severally covenant,
agree and guarantee that for a period of five (5) years from the date of
the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Contribution Agreement,
the Partnership will not transfer or dispose of or permit or suffer the
transfer or disposition of any of its interest in the Contributed
Property, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by
operation of law, by foreclosure or otherwise (a "Disposition") unless the
Partnership pays the Protected Persons the Tax Damages Amount, if any,
resulting from such Disposition. For purposes of this 0, subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph (b) of this 0, a Disposition of an
interest in the Contributed Property shall include any event or occurrence
in which income or gain is recognized pursuant to, or as a result of,
Section 704(c) directly or indirectly by the Protected Persons in excess
of the income or gain allocable directly or indirectly to the Protected
Persons for book purposes under 704(b) of the Code in accordance with the
applicable statutes, regulations, and rules in effect on the date of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to any voluntary or involuntary sale
(including a foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure), assignment,
transfer, exchange, contribution, merger, consolidation, distribution or

Section 1.465-27) under Section 731 of the Code, whether direct or
indirect, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law, by foreclosure or

(b) The restrictions on a Disposition under paragraph (a) of this 0,

indirect share of Non-Recourse Indebtedness under Section 731 of the Code,
shall not apply to events outside of the General Partner's and the

domain proceeding or other involuntary conversion. However, without
limitation, Non-Control Events shall not include:

income or gain to any Protected Person under Code Section 704(c) or due to
reduction by the Partnership in the Protected Person's direct or indirect
Share of Non-Recourse Indebtedness.
Section 2. Tax Allocations. The Partnership shall use the traditional
method with curative allocations on sale (and not the remedial method) as

property-by-property basis to allocate book-tax differences with respect to each
property included as the Contributed Property. In making allocations of income,
gain, loss, deduction, and credit, the General Partner of the Partnership shall
use the proration method in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code.
Section 3. Allocation of the Loans. Subject to future changes in
applicable law or an adverse determination by applicable tax authorities, so
long as a Protected Person holds Units constituting at least 25% of the Units
received by such Protected Person on account of the Contribution, the
Partnership shall maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement
Non-Recourse Indebtedness, without any prepayment or other reduction, in an
amount so that the Protected Persons' allocable share from the Partnership of
all "excess non-recourse liability" under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(c)
shall be no less than the Protected Person' aggregate deficit capital account in
the Partnership as of the date of the Contribution.
Section 4. Tax Return Preparation. _____________ shall provide the
Partnership with such information relating to the Property, Protected Persons

allocated to such Protected Person and (ii) the cumulative
losses, if any, previously allocated to such Protected Person

Contribution but only to the extent of such losses that would
be deductible dollar for dollar against the Gain Amount if
such losses were recognized in the same tax year as the Gain
Amount and such losses are not otherwise limited under Section
465, 469 or 704(d) of the Code, by the maximum combined
federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to such
income or gain (taking into account the amount and character
of the income and gain) for the taxable year of the Protected
Person in which the disposition occurs, irrespective of the
actual tax liability which may be incurred by the Protected
Person which recognizes such income or gain and without regard
to any Federal or state income tax attributes applicable to
the Protected Person, and reducing the resulting product by
the amount any credits, if any, allocated to such Protected
Person.
(2) The "Gain Amount" shall equal the sum of the
"Deferred Gain Amount" plus the "Section 752 Gain Amount."

the Protected Person's prior direct or indirect voluntary or
involuntary disposition of Units.
(4) The "Section 752 Gain Amount" shall equal the amount
of taxable gain, if any, recognized by the Protected Person
under Section 752 and Section 731 of the Code as a direct
result of the reduction in the amount of the Non-recourse
Indebtedness resulting the Protected
Person's prior direct or indirect voluntary or involuntary
disposition of Units.
(ii) Y shall be the reasonable expenses for the Protected
Person associated with determining the Tax Amount, including,
without limitation, attorney's and accountant's fees.
(b) The Partnership shall notify Contributor in writing of a Tax
Event Disposition within thirty (30) days after such Tax Event Disposition
(such tenth day of such notice period being herein referred to as the
"Notice Date"). On or before 30 days following the end of the tax year in
which the Tax Event Disposition occurs, the Protected Person shall provide
the Partnership such information as is reasonably available to the
Protected Person regarding such Protected Person's adjusted tax basis in
its interest in the Partnership as of the last day of the Partnership's
taxable year immediately preceding the Tax Event Disposition. Within ten
(10) days of the receipt of any information provided by the Protected
Person pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Partnership may
reasonably request additional information necessary in connection with the
computation of the Tax Damages Amount (the "Protected Person's
Computational Information"). The Tax Damages Amount shall be paid by the
Partnership to each Protected Person within ten (10) days after receipt of
the Protected Person's Computational Information required to compute the
Tax Damages Amount. Any late payment of such Tax Damages Amount shall bear
interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 10% per annum, compounded
daily, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

have been fully satisfied, the security interest in and against the Collateral
shall continue in full force and effect. Lender's security interest in the
Collateral shall attach to the Collateral without further action by Lender or
Borrower.
3.2 Supplemental Documents; Power of Attorney. At Lender's request,
Borrower shall execute or deliver to Lender, at any time or times hereafter,
such Supplemental Documents, or any substitute note, as Lender may reasonably
request, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower.
Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all
Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney (and agent-in-fact) with power to, after the occurrence of a default,
(a) sign the name of Borrower on any of the Supplemental Documents to which it
is a party and to deliver those Supplemental Documents to such Persons as
Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, (b) at any time that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, endorse Borrower's name on any checks,
notes or other forms of payment or security, (c) at any time that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims
respecting the Collateral directly with claimants, for amounts and upon terms
that Lender determines to be reasonable, and Lender may cause to be executed and
delivered any documents and releases that Lender determines to be necessary and
(d) do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out the terms of this
Agreement, all without notice to Borrower. Borrower ratifies and approves all
acts of any such attorney and agrees that neither Lender nor any such attorney
will be liable to Borrower for any acts, omissions, error of judgment or mistake
of fact or law, unless any of the foregoing are occasioned by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or of any such attorney. The
foregoing power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable
until the Obligations have been fully satisfied.

is paid in full.
1. TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Revolving Loan Agreement of even date herewith
(as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
"Revolving Loan Agreement"), by and between Borrower and Lender.
2. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS. Advances made from time to time under
this Revolving Note shall bear interest from the date of the Advance (computed
on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable) at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Interest Rate on the principal amount from time to time remaining
unpaid. Interest hereunder shall be payable quarterly with each such payment on
the day that is five (5) business days following the payment of the regular
quarterly dividend by Education Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation. Any
outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest not theretofore paid shall
be due and payable in full on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.
3. NON-RECOURSE NOTE. This Note is secured by a pledge by Borrower of its
partnership interests in Lender pursuant to that certain Collateral Assignment
of Partnership Interest and Pledge Agreement of even date (the "Collateral
Assignment"). Unless Borrower shall exercise Borrower's option to guarantee a
portion of the indebtedness represented by this Note in accordance with the
Revolving Loan Agreement, in the event of non-payment by Borrower under this
Note, the sole recourse of Lender with respect to the indebtedness represented
by this Revolving Note shall be against the collateral pledged pursuant to the
Collateral Assignment and distributions with respect to such collateral and
Borrower shall have no liability from, under or with respect to this Note in
excess of such amounts.

evidenced by this Revolving Note shall be made in lawful money of the United

Revolving Note is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable
local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial
decision, or public policy, then such portion, provision or provisions shall be
given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and
enforceable, that the remainder of this Revolving Note shall be construed as if
the illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or
provisions were not contained.

might be characterized as interest) exceed the maximum rate permitted to be
charged under applicable law. If Lender or any other holder of this Revolving
Note receives any payment which is or would be in excess of that permitted to be
charged under applicable law, the payment shall have been, and shall be deemed
to have been, made in error and shall be held as additional cash collateral for

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF
PARTNERSHIP INTEREST AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT
THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST AGREEMENT AND PLEDGE
AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is executed this ____ day of ____________, 200___ by and
between JPI Multifamily Investments L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Pledgor") and Education Realty Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Pledgee").
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Pledgor owns ________________ (_____) units of limited partnership
interest (the "Units") in Pledgee. To induce Pledgee to enter into that certain
Revolving Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the "Revolving Loan Agreement")
by and among Pledgee (as Lender) and Pledgor (as Borrower), Pledgor has agreed
to secure all borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement and to grant Pledgee
a security interest in and with respect to all of the Units. Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Revolving Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, the parties covenant and agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT TO PLEDGE.
(a) Pledge. As collateral security for payment and performance in full of
all the Obligations (as defined below), Pledgor hereby pledges, hypothecates,
assigns, transfers, sets over and delivers unto Pledgee, and hereby grants to
Pledgee, a continuing security interest in all of the Units, and all proceeds
thereof in whatever form and all cash, additional securities or other property
at any time and from time to time receivable or otherwise distributed in respect
of or in exchange for any or all of such Units and other membership and
ownership interests (such membership and ownership interests, securities,
proceeds thereof, cash, additional securities and other property are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Pledged Securities").
(b) Obligations Secured. This Pledge Agreement is made, and the security
interests created hereby is granted to the Pledgee to secure prompt payment and
performance when due of all liabilities of Pledgor under that certain Secured
Non-Recourse Revolving Note of even date issued by Pledgor to Pledgee, that
certain Revolving Loan Security Agreement of even date between Pledgor as
Borrower and Pledgee as Lender and under this Agreement (all such liabilities
and obligations of Pledgor being the "Obligations").
(c) Proceeds of Pledged Securities. After a default, if the Pledgor shall
become entitled to receive or shall receive, in connection with any of the
Pledged Securities, any:
(i) Certificate representing such Pledged Securities, including but
not limited to any certificate representing a dividend or in connection
with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split,
spin-off or split-off;
(ii) Option, warrant, or right, whether as an addition to or in
substitution or in exchange for any of the Pledged Securities, or
otherwise;
(iii) Dividend or distribution payable in property, including
securities issued by other than the issuer of any of the Pledged
Securities; or
(iv) Dividends or distributions of any sort, then:
the Pledgor shall accept the same as the Pledgee's agent, in trust for the
Pledgee, and shall deliver them forthwith to the Pledgee in the exact form
received with, as applicable, the Pledgor's endorsement when necessary, or
appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Pledgee,
subject to the terms hereof, as part of the Pledged Securities.
(d) Sale Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Pledgee may, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement, or
notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon the Pledgor or any other person (all of which
are, to the extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived), forthwith realize
upon the Pledged Securities or any part thereof, and may forthwith, or agree to,
retain the Pledged Securities in satisfaction of the Obligations, or sell or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Securities or any part thereof or
interest therein, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker's board or at any of the Pledgee's offices or elsewhere, at
such prices and on such terms (including, but without limitation, a requirement
that any purchaser of all or any part of the Pledged Securities purchase the
shares constituting the Pledged Securities for investment and without any
intention to make a distribution thereof) as he may deem best, for cash or on
credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the
right to the Pledgee or any purchaser to purchase upon any such sale the whole
or any part of the Pledged Securities free of any right or equity of redemption
in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived and released.
(e) Application of Sale Proceeds. The proceeds of any such disposition or
other action by the Pledgee shall be applied as follows:
(i) First, to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith or incidental thereto or to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Pledged Securities or in any way relating to the rights of
the Pledgee hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses;
(ii) Second, to the repayment of the Obligations;
(iii) Third, to the payment of any other amounts required by
applicable law; and
(iv) Fourth, to the Pledgor to the extent of any surplus proceeds.
(f) Power of Attorney. The Pledgee shall have the right, for and in the
name, place and stead of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor has granted Pledgee power
of attorney, as set forth in the Revolving Loan Agreement, to execute
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to all or any of the Pledged Securities.
(g) Private Sale. The Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to
effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Securities and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of
purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the
Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor
acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less
favorable to the Pledgee than those of public sales, and agrees that such
private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner and that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay sale of any Pledged
Securities to permit the issuer thereof to register such Pledged Securities for
public sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
2. NOTICES IN REGARD OF PLEDGED SECURITIES.
The Pledgor will promptly deliver to the Pledgee all written notices, and
will promptly give the Pledgee written notice of any other notices, received by
him with respect to Pledged Securities, and the Pledgee will promptly give like
notice to the Pledgor of any such notices received by him or his nominee.
3. FURTHER ASSURANCES.
The Pledgor shall at any time, and from time to time, upon the written
request of the Pledgee, execute and deliver such additional documents,
conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments and do such further acts
and things as the Pledgee may reasonably request to effect the purposes of this
Agreement.
4. POWER OF ATTORNEY.
Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Loan Agreement, the Pledgor has
appointed the Pledgee as the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and
executing any instrument which either may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes hereof after the occurrence of a default. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, after a default the Pledgee shall have
the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders
for the payment of money made payable to the Pledgor representing any interest
or dividend or other distribution payable in respect of the Pledged Securities
or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
4. NON-RECOURSE .
Unless Pledgor shall exercise Pledgor's option to guarantee a portion of
the indebtedness represented by this Note in accordance with the Revolving Loan
Agreement, the sole recourse of Lender with respect to the Obligations shall be
against the collateral pledged pursuant to this Agreement and Borrower shall
have no liability in excess of such amounts.
5. TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall terminate upon termination of all the Obligations, at
which time the Pledgee will, upon Pledgor's written request execute and deliver
to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to
evidence the termination of the security interests or release of the Pledged
Securities, as the case may be.
6. GENERAL.
(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe
custody of the Pledged Securities while held hereunder, the Pledgee shall have
no duty or liability to preserve
rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the
Pledged Securities upon surrendering it or them or tendering surrender of it or
them to the Pledgor.
(b) No course of dealing between the Pledgor and the Pledgee, nor
any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or
privilege of the Pledgee hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or
thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.
(c) The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and are
in addition to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law,
including, but without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(d) The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any
clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part
in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only
such clause or provision or part thereof in such jurisdiction and shall not in
any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction or any
other clause or provision in this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
(e) Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be
effective if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, or if delivered to the Pledgor or Pledgee at their addresses
specified below, or at such other addresses as the Pledgor or the Pledgee may
theretofore have designated in writing and given in like manner to the other.
(f) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

NON-EXCLUSIVE SERVICE XXXX LICENSE AGREEMENT
FROM
JPI DEVELOPMENT, L.P.
TO
THIS NON-EXCLUSIVE SERVICE XXXX LICENSE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is
made as of the dates set forth by the parties' signatures below, although agreed
by the parties to be effective as of ___________________ __, 2004 (the
"Effective Date"), by and between JPI Development, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Licensor"), whose sole general partner is Multifamily Development
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having a place of business at 000 X.
Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 and Xxxxx & O'Hara Educational
Properties, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company ("Licensee"), having a
place of business at 000 Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000
(Licensor and Licensee will be collectively referred to as the "Parties").
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of common law service marks and service
xxxx applications and registrations in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office as shown in SCHEDULE A attached hereto (the "Marks").
WHEREAS, Licensee desires the right to use the Marks in conjunction with
the transition of ownership as a result of Licensee's purchase of the apartment
properties shown on SCHEDULE B attached hereto (whether one or more, the
"Projects").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual
agreements, covenants and provisions contained herein, the sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged and confessed, the Parties agree as follows:
1. License. Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, royalty-free,
non-transferable (except as provided in this paragraph) right to use the Marks
in conjunction with the ownership and/or management by Licensee of the Projects
beginning on the Effective Date hereof for the limited purpose of using the
Marks during the Term hereof in the ordinary course and enabling the transition
in connection with Licensee's purchase of the Projects. Such uses include,
without limitation, using the Marks (i) to identify the Projects, (ii) in
connection with the day-to-day operation of the Projects, (iii) to market and
advertise the Projects, and (iv) to transition from the use of the Marks to
other trademarks and service marks of Licensee. Such management by Licensee may
be performed directly by Licensee or may be effected through direct everyday
control of other business entities by Licensee. Licensee shall have no right to
use the Marks in conjunction with any property other than the Projects or to
provide for any new usages of the Marks with respect to the Projects not
existing as of the Effective Date, except as specified above. The Marks may also
be used by "Affiliates" of Licensee solely in the manner and for the term set
forth herein. For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Affiliate" of an entity is
any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the
entity in question. The term "control" means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or
otherwise. Licensee shall cause all Affiliates to be subject to Licensee's
requirements and the Licensee's limitations of use set forth in this Agreement,
as if such Affiliates were parties hereto.
2. Quality of Services. Licensee shall use the Marks in accordance with the
reasonable written guidelines provided to Licensee by Licensor that governed
Licensor's use of the Marks with the Projects and with a quality consistent with
the services previously provided by Licensor with reference to the Projects. At
all times the Projects shall be managed and maintained so that the quality of
the Projects shall be maintained in good running order and shall have an
aesthetic appeal at all times at least equal to the aesthetic appeal existing at
the time Licensee takes title to the Projects, ordinary wear and tear and
depreciation excepted.
3. Use of the Marks. Upon request, Licensee shall provide Licensor with samples
of all literature, brochures, letterhead, business cards, voice mail, signs, and
advertising material prepared or used by Licensee bearing the Marks. When using
the Marks under this Agreement, Licensee undertakes to comply substantially with
all laws pertaining to trademarks in force at any time within the United States,
consistent with Licensor's prior uses thereof. This provision includes
compliance with marking requirements imposed under this Agreement or under the
laws of the United States.
4. Inspection. Licensee will permit duly authorized representatives of Licensor
to inspect the premises of Licensee at all reasonable times upon at least three
(3) days prior written notice solely for the purposes of ascertaining or
determining compliance of use of the Marks as provided for herein.
5. INDEMNITY AND DISCLAIMER. LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH
RESPECT TO ANY SERVICES RENDERED BY LICENSEE UNDER THE MARKS AND DISCLAIMS ALL
LIABILITY TO LICENSEE OR TO THIRD PARTIES FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT
OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH SERVICES. LICENSEE AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY,
AND HOLD HARMLESS LICENSOR AND ITS GENERAL PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERS,
AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND ASSIGNEES FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS,
ACTIONS, DEBTS OR RIGHTS OF ACTION, OF WHATEVER KIND, AND ALL COSTS, INCLUDING
REASONABLE LEGAL FEES, ARISING OUT OF THE RENDITION OF SERVICES BY LICENSEE
UNDER THE MARKS. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
6. Goodwill. Licensee shall use the Marks only in compliance with the terms and
conditions contained herein. All Marks, and any changes, derivations, additions,
approximations and deceptively similar names and all goodwill accruing to the
use thereof, shall remain the property of, and inure to the benefit of,
Licensor. Licensee hereby appoints Licensor as its attorney-in-fact to convey to
Licensor any and all additional trademark or service xxxx rights which may be
acquired by Licensee that are derivations, additions, approximations or
deceptively similar names to the Marks.
7. Ownership of the Marks. Licensee acknowledges Licensor's right, title and
interest in and to the Marks and any registrations that have issued or may issue
thereon, and Licensee agrees that it will not at any time do or cause to be done
any act or thing contesting or, to Licensee's
PAGE 2
actual knowledge, in any way impairing or tending to impair any part of such
right, title and interest. In connection with the use of the Marks, Licensee
shall not in any manner represent that it has any ownership in the Marks or
registration thereof, and the Parties hereto acknowledge that any use of the
Marks, including all good will associated therewith, shall inure to the benefit
of Licensor.
8. Partnership; Agency. The Parties specifically intend that this Agreement does
not constitute a partnership or joint venture agreement and no partnership or
joint venture shall be implied.
9. Assignments; Licenses. Licensee shall not assign, sublicense or delegate any
rights or obligations under this Agreement. A change in control of Licensee
shall be deemed an assignment and subject to this paragraph. Licensor may freely
assign or license its rights under this Agreement.
10. Third Parties. Except as set forth or referred to herein, nothing in this
Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any party
other than the Parties hereto and any of Licensor's successors and assigns any
rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
11. Notice of Infringement. Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing, upon
Licensee obtaining any knowledge of infringement, or possible infringement, of
any of the Marks. Licensor shall have no obligation to take any action, but
should Licensor take action, Licensee will fully cooperate with Licensor.
12. Term. This Agreement shall be effective for nine (9) months from the
Effective Date at which time the license will terminate. In addition, the
license described in this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the first
to occur of the following:
(i) any act of bankruptcy by or against Licensee or against the general
partner of Licensee;
(ii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors of Licensee or the
general partner of Licensee;
(iii) any attachment, execution of judgment or process against Licensee's
rights under the license granted hereunder or under this Agreement, unless
satisfied or released within sixty (60) days; or
(iv) the dissolution of Licensee.
This Agreement shall also terminate immediately upon written notice to Licensee
for any material breach by Licensee of its duties under the "Use of the Marks"
clause of this Agreement to properly monitor and control the usage of the Marks
if Licensee fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days after
receipt of notice of such breach, specifying the nature of such breach.
13. Consequences of Termination or Expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Upon the expiration or other termination of this Agreement as set forth in
paragraph 12, Licensee shall immediately and forever cease from using the Marks
in all embodiments and forms, including any confusingly similar variations
thereof, in connection with the Projects or any other goods or
PAGE 3
services, or as part of Licensee's business name. Without limiting the
foregoing, Licensee shall, no later than five (5) days after expiration or
termination of this Agreement, complete the following tasks (i) through (iv) to
ensure no further use of the Marks.
(i)Remove all references to the Marks on brochures, literature,
letterhead, business cards, voice mail, advertising, signage, software (to the
extent allowed by the licensor of such software) and any other medium,
regardless of form of medium, in which Licensee has used the Marks in the past,
except for references that Licensee does not reasonably control, such as
previously published Yellow Pages, letterhead sent to third parties, etc.
(ii) Where such references in (i) above may not be removed by erasure, or
with correction fluid or tape, destroy all items making such references.
(iii) Inform all Licensee's employees, officers and directors in writing
that the Marks are no longer to be used in connection with the Projects or any
other goods or services.
(iv) Notify all Licensee's tenants, clients, advertisers, contractors and
similar persons or entities that are involved with the Projects that Licensee
has henceforth ceased using the Marks in connection with the Projects or any
other goods or services.

the Licensor a written certification, signed by an officer of Licensee and
substantially in a form similar to Schedule C attached hereto, that the
foregoing actions (i) through (iv) have been taken.

Re: Sale of JPI Student Housing Portfolio to Education Realty Operating
Partnership, LP
We have acted as special counsel to Jefferson Commons - Tucson Phase II
Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("Star Ranch"), and
Jefferson Commons - Columbia, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("JC
Columbia," which, together with Star Ranch are sometimes collectively referred
to herein as the "Sellers"), in connection with that certain Contract of
Sale/Contribution (the "Contract of Sale") among the Sellers and Education
Realty Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Buyer").
The Contract of Sale involves, among other things, the transfer by the
Sellers to the Buyer of certain real property and improvements located in Pima
County, Arizona, and Xxxxx County, Missouri.
This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(xvii) of the
Contract of Sale. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms defined
in the Contract of Sale are used herein as therein defined. In addition to the
Contract of Sale, other documents we have reviewed in rendering this opinion
letter, and upon which we have relied, include the agreements, documents and
certificates listed on Annex A attached hereto (collectively, the
"Organizational Documents").
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined (a) the Contract
of Sale and (b) the Organizational Documents and all schedules and exhibits
thereto. In connection with this opinion we have also made such investigations
as we have deemed relevant, customary, reasonable and appropriate, as the basis
for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to matters of fact relevant to the
opinions expressed herein, and as to factual matters arising in connection with
the foregoing examinations, we have relied upon (a) certificates of the Sellers
and of governmental officials and (b) the representations and warranties of the
Sellers in the Contract of Sale, without further investigation by us as to the
facts set forth therein. We express no opinion herein as to any documents or
agreements other than the Contract of Sale and the Organizational Documents.
We have assumed, with your permission and without independent
investigation: (a) the legal capacity of all natural persons; (b) that the
signatures on all documents examined by us
Education Realty Operating Partnership, LP
_____________, 20___
Page 2
(other than those of any officer of any Seller) are genuine and that, where any
such signature purports to have been made in a corporate, governmental,
fiduciary or other capacity, the person who affixed such signature had authority
to do so; (c) that each document examined by us has been duly executed and
delivered, pursuant to due authorization by each of the parties thereto (other
than by a Seller); (d) that the documents submitted to us as originals are
authentic and that all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or
photostatic copies conform to authentic original documents; and (e) that public
files and records and certificates of, or furnished by, governmental or
regulatory agencies or authorities are correct.
Our engagement by the Sellers has been limited to specific matters about
which we have been consulted; consequently, there are matters of a legal nature
involving the Sellers that are outside of the scope of this opinion letter about
which we have not advised or with respect to which we have not represented the
Sellers. We specifically note that we are not expressing any opinion or
conclusion with respect to any agreements or documents binding upon the Sellers
or to which they or any of their assets are subject, in each case other than the
Contract of Sale and the Organizational Documents.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, having
due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the
opinion that:
(1) Each Seller is a limited partnership existing and in good standing
under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
(2) Each Seller has the partnership power and authority to execute and
deliver the Contract of Sale and to perform its obligations thereunder.
(3) All necessary partnership action has been taken to authorize the
execution and delivery of the Contract of Sale by the Sellers, and the Contract
of Sale has been duly executed and delivered by each Seller.
(4) The execution and delivery of the Contract of Sale by the Sellers do
not, and the performance by each such Seller under the Contract of Sale will
not, result in:

(i) any breach of, or constitute a default under, such Seller's
certificate of limited partnership or limited partnership agreement;
(ii) to our knowledge, any breach of, or constitute a default under, any
existing statute or governmental rule or regulation applicable to
any Seller;
(iii) any breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the agreements
listed on Annex B attached hereto (collectively, the "Material
Agreements"); or
(iv) any breach of, or constitute a default under, any judicial or
administrative decree, writ, judgment or order to which, to our
knowledge, any Seller is subject.
(5) No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing
with, any governmental authority is required by any statutory law or regulation
of the United States or the State of Texas as a condition to the Seller's
execution and delivery of, or performance under, the Contract of Sale.
In relying on the opinions expressed herein, you should note that the
opinions expressed above are fully subject to the following qualifications:
(a) In rendering the opinions above with respect to existence and good
standing, we have relied solely upon the Organizational Documents and upon the
certificates of public officials listed on Annex A attached hereon (copies of
which have been delivered to you), and such opinions are limited to the dates of
such certificates.
(b) Except as set forth in the following sentence, we express no opinion
with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas and
the applicable federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent the
opinions set forth above are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, we
have based such opinions exclusively upon a reading of the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act, without taking into account any legislative,
judicial or administrative interpretations thereof.
(c) Whenever any opinion expressed herein with respect to the existence or
absence of facts is qualified as being "to our knowledge," "to our attention" or
words of similar import, such qualification indicates that, except as otherwise
expressed, (i) no information has come to the attention of any Applicable F&J
Attorney (as hereinafter defined) that has given such attorney actual knowledge
of the existence of such facts; (ii) we have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts; and (iii) no
inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should
be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Sellers or from our
providing this opinion. For purposes of this opinion, "Applicable F&J Attorney"
refers to any attorney in the offices of Fulbright & Xxxxxxxx L.L.P. in Dallas,
Texas who has provided a substantial amount of legal services for any Seller
Education Realty Operating Partnership, LP
_____________, 20___

duties at Fulbright & Xxxxxxxx L.L.P.
(d) Our opinions expressed in paragraph 4(ii) above as to breach or
default under any statute, rule or regulation and in paragraph 5 above as to the
lack of need for any consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or
filing with, any governmental authority is based solely upon a review of those
statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable
to the transactions contemplated by the Contract of Sale.
(e) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the Contract of Sale
or any provision thereof.
(f) Any statement in this opinion that "we assume" or "we have assumed" or
similar statements means that we assume or have assumed the fact, conclusion or
matter stated, without independent verification by us.
(g) We have assumed, and the opinions expressed in this letter are subject
to the assumption that, neither you nor your counsel have knowledge of any fact
or circumstance that makes any of the opinions or assumptions in this letter
incorrect in any manner.
The opinions set forth in this opinion letter are limited to the matters
expressly described herein, and no opinion is to be implied or may be inferred
therefrom or from any of the qualifications, definitions, limitations,
assumptions or exceptions set forth herein. Specifically (but not exclusively),
we express no opinion as to (a) the truthfulness or accuracy of any reports,
plans, documents, financial statements or other matters furnished to the Buyer
by, or on behalf of any Seller, any of their affiliates or any other person or
entity in connection with the Contract of Sale or otherwise, or (b) the
truthfulness or accuracy of any representation or warranty made by any Seller,
any of their affiliates or any other person or entity in the Contract of Sale or
otherwise.
Our opinions set forth in this opinion letter are based upon the facts in
existence and laws in effect on the date hereof and we expressly disclaim any
obligation to update our opinions herein, regardless of whether changes in such
facts, including amendments to the Contract of Sale, or laws come to our
attention after the date hereof.
This opinion letter has been rendered solely for your benefit in
connection with the Contract of Sale and the transactions contemplated thereby
and may not be used, circulated, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to
for any other purpose without this firm's prior written consent.
Very truly yours,
