THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.

(d) Certificates evidencing the Series A Preferred Shares shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 9.8(c): (i) if a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such Series A Preferred Shares under the Securities Act is effective, (ii) following any sale of such Series A Preferred Shares in compliance with Rule 144, (iii) if such Series A Preferred Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to the last sentence of Rule 144(b)(l)(i) under the Securities Act, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Corporation shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Corporation’s transfer agent in connection with any transfer occurring after the effective date of any registration statement referred to in clause (i) above. Following such effective date or at such earlier time as such legend is no longer required for certain Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation will no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Series A Preferred Shares, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Series A Preferred Shares that is free from such legend. The Corporation may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Corporation that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 9.8.

(e) In the event of a proposed transfer of Series A Preferred Shares that, if consummated, would result in the intended transferee beneficially owning shares of capital stock of the Corporation in excess of the ownership limit established under the Charter for REIT qualification purposes, then, to the extent permitted by the Charter and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 9.8(e), the Corporation shall deliver a duly executed REIT Ownership Limit Waiver to such transferee effective upon such transfer. Any such intended transferee shall provide at least fifteen (15) calendar days written notice to the Corporation of such proposed transfer and request for a REIT Ownership Limit Waiver. The grant of any such REIT Ownership Limit Waiver shall be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors of the Corporation that such waiver would not adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to qualify as a REIT and shall also be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the immediately following sentences.

-33-

As a condition to any such waiver, the proposed transferee shall represent to the Corporation, and shall furnish such reasonable evidence as the Board of Directors may request, that no person or entity described in Section 542(a)(2) of the Code, including the application of the provisions of Section 544 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(h)(1)(B) of the Code, owns more than the maximum ownership limit set forth in the Charter, as such may have been modified as provided therein. Any such waiver may be subject to automatic revocation in the event the foregoing representation ceases to be true, as a result of a direct or indirect transfer of an interest or otherwise. In addition to the above, as a condition to the granting of any such waiver, the Corporation may require an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Corporation in support of the grant of such waiver, in addition to such other customary conditions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may impose.

(a) comply with its obligations under the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, and the Corporation shall not take any action or make any omission that, with notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a violation of (i) Section 8(c) of the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary or (ii) Section 8(c) of the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary; and

(b) not take or permit any action, or cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries (including as a Subsidiary, for purposes of this Section 9.10(b), any entity that would become a Subsidiary of the Corporation upon consummation of the contribution of the Uncontributed Portfolio Properties) to take or permit any action that would cause the Corporation to be prohibited from making any payments or distributions required to be made pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, any action that would prohibit the Corporation from making distributions under the MGCL.

9.11 Director and Officer Insurance. So long as the Purchaser has a designee on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Corporation shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage in such amounts and on such terms as is customary for a publicly traded company of similar size to the Corporation. Such insurance shall include coverage for all directors of the Corporation, including any director designated (individually or jointly) by the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the Closing Date, a copy of which has been furnished to the Purchaser, complies with this Section 9.11 as of the date hereof; provided that, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser from time to time, to modify or increase the coverage of the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that

-34-

is then in effect in light of the circumstances existing at such time, then the Corporation shall make such modifications or increase to such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or, if applicable, purchase an additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy) as may be required, if at all, to comply with this Section 9.11.

9.12 Access. In addition to any other rights provided by law or set forth herein, from and after the Closing Date, the Corporation shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, give the Purchaser and its representatives access during reasonable business hours to (i) all properties, assets, books, contracts, commitments, reports and records relating to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the management, accountants, lenders, customers and suppliers of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, in each case, that a party shall not be required to provide such access to any information or Persons if such party reasonably determines that access to such information or Persons would violate the attorney-client privilege between such party or any Affiliate thereof and its counsel that cannot be provided to the Purchaser in a manner that would avoid the violation of such attorney-client privilege. The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall terminate upon the redemption of all the Series Preferred Stock.

9.13 Amendments to Transaction Documents. So long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock are held by any of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, become or remain subject to any agreement or instrument, except for the Transaction Documents, that would prohibit or require the consent of any Person to any amendment, modification or supplement to any of this Agreement, the Series A Warrant, the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary, the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary or the Registration Rights Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, any and all approval requirements of (i) shareholders of the Corporation or partners of the Operating Partnership under their respective Organizational Documents or under applicable Laws or (ii) lenders to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective properties (including for this purpose any Uncontributed Portfolio Properties) shall be disregarded for purposes of this Section 9.13.

9.14 Integration. The Corporation shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Corporation shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series A Warrants hereunder in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of any Series A Preferred Shares or Series A Warrants hereunder to the Purchaser.

9.15 Appraisal. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held by any of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, the Corporation shall cause an appraisal of each property owned by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to be undertaken on December 1 of each calendar year. All appraisals required under this Section 9.15 shall be performed by a nationally recognized independent real property appraisal firm having specialized knowledge and expertise in the appraisal of multi-family residential properties; provided, however, any appraiser selected by the Corporation to perform appraisals required under this Section 9.15 shall be rotated at least once every three years (with the first such three-year period commencing on the Closing Date). The Corporation shall cause all such appraisals to be completed and distributed to the Purchaser not

-35-

later than the January 20th immediately following the date of such respective update or appraisal. The cost of any annual appraisal and update obtained pursuant to this Section 9.15 shall be borne by the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 9.15 shall terminate upon the redemption of all of the Series A Preferred Stock.

9.16 Use of Proceeds. The Corporation shall use the proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the Securities at the Closing primarily for acquisitions of capital assets and leases, retirement of Indebtedness and payment of costs and expense relating to the IPO. Provided that the proceeds are used primarily for the above mentioned purposes, the remaining proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no portion of the proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the Securities at the Closing may be used for the payment of distributions or dividends to the Corporation’s stockholders or to limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the Securities at the Closing, shall be deposited on the Closing Date in one or more segregated bank accounts of the Corporation (collectively, the “Proceeds Accounts”). No withdrawals shall be permitted from the Proceeds Accounts without the written consent of OPTrust (so long as any of OPTrust and its Affiliates hold any Series A Preferred Stock), other than for use in accordance with this Section 9.16. For so long as the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates holds any Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to each calendar month in which any such withdrawals are made, the Corporation shall furnish a written report the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the end of such month specifying in reasonable detail the dates and amounts of such withdrawals and the purposes therefor.

9.17 Other Reporting Obligations. (a) During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Corporation shall deliver to the Purchaser by mail and without cost to the Purchaser the following reports in the form that the Corporation would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as if the Corporation were subject thereto as well as the other documents listed herein:

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event within the time frame prescribed for the filing of an annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act after the end of each fiscal year, an annual report on Form 10-K, and to the extent not included in such Form 10-K, an income statement of the Corporation for such fiscal year, a balance sheet of the Corporation and statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such fiscal year, and a statement of cash flows for such fiscal year, such year-end financial reports to be prepared on a consolidated basis, in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and audited and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Corporation; and

(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event within the time frame prescribed for the filing of a quarterly report pursuant to the Exchange Act for each fiscal quarter of each fiscal year of the Corporation, a quarterly report on Form 10-K, and to the extent not included in such Form 10-Q, an unaudited income statement and statement of cash flows for such fiscal quarter and an unaudited balance sheet and a statement of stockholder’s equity as of the end of such fiscal quarter prepared on a consolidated basis.

-36-

(b) The Corporation at its sole cost and expense shall furnish to the Purchaser (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5):

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event at least 30 days prior to the end of each fiscal year, a budget for the next fiscal year, prepared on a monthly basis, including income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows for such months, and, as soon as prepared, any other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Corporation;

(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, annual fair value statements, with a December 31 year-end, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); and

(iii) as soon as practicable, any additional reports as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser from time to time for its own internal purposes.

(c) Audits. The Corporation shall be audited annually by a nationally recognized accounting firm (which firm is initially anticipated to be Ernst & Young).

(d) Termination. The provisions of this Section 9.17 shall terminate upon the redemption of all the Series A Preferred Stock.

9.18 Affiliate Transactions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held by any of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, no Related Person shall: (i) owe any amount to any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, nor shall any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries owe any amount to, nor shall any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries commit to make any loan or extend or guarantee credit to or for the benefit of, any Related Person; (ii) have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, or be an officer, director, employee, consultant or agent of, any Person that has a business relationship with, or enters into any transaction with, any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; or (iii) own, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any real property, leasehold interests or other property, or any permits, the use of which is necessary for the conduct of the business of any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.18 shall not apply to (I) the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents, (II) any Qualified Contribution Transaction (as such term is defined in the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary), and (III) any other transaction or arrangement that is approved in writing by the Purchaser (which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld, provided that such transaction or arrangement is made on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries than such terms and conditions as may be attained in a transaction not involving a Related Person). The provisions of this Section 9.18 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other applicable restrictions that may be set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Corporation (including the Charter) and elsewhere in the Transaction Documents (including the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary) or as may be provided by the MGCL or other applicable Laws. The provisions of this Section 9.18 shall terminate upon the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

-37-

9.19 Investment Company Act. At any time while any Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall make all reasonable efforts to conduct its affairs, and to cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their affairs, in such a manner as to ensure that neither the Corporation nor its Subsidiaries will be or become an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9.20 Amendment to Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary.

At the first meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the date of this Agreement, the Corporation shall propose and recommend to the stockholders of the Corportion that the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary be amended, in form acceptable to the Purchaser, to:

(i) replace the current definition of “IPO” in each of the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary in its entierty with the following: ““IPO” shall mean the consummation of the initial closing (without regard for any closing of any associated “green shoe”) of the first underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or applicable securities legislation in Canada that occurs after the Original Issue Date and, in conjunction with which, such shares of Common Stock are listed for trading on the NYSE, the Nasdaq Stock Market and/or the Toronto Stock Exchange.”;

(ii) divest, to the greatest extent permitted by law, the holders of the common stock of Corporation of any rights to vote in respect of any amendment to the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary or Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, as applicable, and that (x) only a majority vote of the holders of all Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a class, is required to amend the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary, and (y) only a majority vote of the holders of all Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a class, is required to amend the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, in each case without derogating from the rights provided to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to section 8(c)(iv) of the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and section 8(c)(iv) of the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, respectively;

(iii) make any additional amendments as may be reasonably required in order to give effect to the foregoing amendments set forth in this Section 9.20 and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE X.

Survival and Indemnification

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the date upon which all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed and shall be unaffected by any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any party in favor of which any such representation and warranty has been made; except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.7 (Authorization of Preferred Stock), Section 3.17 (Private Placement), Section 3.19 (Waiver of Ownership Limits), Section 3.22 (Certain Fees) and Section 3.43 (Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Securities) shall survive indefinitely. Any claim for indemnification in respect of any representation or warranty that is not asserted by notice given as herein provided relating thereto prior to the expiration of the specified period of survival shall not be pursued and is hereby irrevocably waived after the expiration of such period of survival. Any claim for a Loss in respect of such a breach asserted within such period of survival as herein provided will be timely made for purposes hereof.

(b) Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), the covenants in this Agreement will survive and remain in effect indefinitely.

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all Losses incurred, arising out of or relating to:

(i) any breach by the Corporation of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Corporation in this Agreement;

(ii) any dividend or other distributions of any nature declared or paid by the Corporation in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, including any redemption or purchase thereof by the Corporation, that is claimed or alleged to have been made, or actually made, in violation of any applicable Laws;

(iii) any claim or Proceedings against the Corporation or the Purchaser in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby commenced by (A) any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any stockholder, director, or officer of the Corporation (other than the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s respective Affiliates and their respective representatives), or any representative thereof, including, without limitation, any allegation or claim that the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are invalid or illegal, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith or willful malfeasance of any of the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Affiliates; and

(iv) any claim or Proceedings against the Purchaser commenced by any director, officer, employee or other representative of the Purchaser (a “Representative”) who, in his or her capacity as a Representative of the

-39-

Purchaser, has been appointed as a director of the Corporation, and (A) as a result of, or in connection with such Representative’s position as a director of the Corporation, is or becomes subject to any claim or Proceedings (the “Originating Proceedings”), and (B) such Representative makes a claim or commences Proceedings against the Purchaser in respect of an indemnity claim or claim for loss resulting from the Originating Proceedings; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser under this clause (iv) to the extent that the Corporation is prohibited under applicable law from indemnifying such Representative in respect of such Originating Proceedings.

(b) From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation from and against any and all Losses incurred, arising out of or relating to any breach by the Purchaser of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchaser in this Agreement.

(c) Without limitation to Section 10.2(a), from and after the Closing and for so long as any Series A Preferred Stock is held by any of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchaser and its Affiliates from and against any and all U.S. federal, state or local income or withholding tax incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee as a holder of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to any gain that is treated as recognized by such holder from a sale or exchange (or deemed sale or exchange) by any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries under Code section 897(h)(1) of a “United States real property interest” as defined in Code section 897(c)(1) and that results from any distribution made by the Corporation.

(d) The conduct of any Proceedings for which indemnification is available under this Section 10.2 shall be governed by Section 10.3. The indemnification obligations of any Indemnitor under this Section 10.2 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Purchaser hereunder for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants addressed thereby, other than for fraud and equitable remedies, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Purchaser.

10.3 Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third-Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay.

(b) Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee so long as (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnitee has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify

-40-

the Indemnitee from and against any such Losses, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment in respect of, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee, and (v) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3(b), (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld), and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld); provided, however, that, in respect of clause (iii) above, the Indemnitee may condition such consent upon the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a duly executed unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) In the event any condition set forth in Section 10.3(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, provided that the Indemnitee will consult with and obtain the consent of the Indemnitor in connection therewith which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld, (ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 10.3.

10.4 Direct Claims. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to any claim by an Indemnitee on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”). If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee.

10.5 Certain Other Matters. Upon making any Indemnity Payment Indemnitor will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee against any third person (other than an insurance company) in respect of the Loss to which the Indemnity Payment related; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitor shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loss and (ii) until Indemnitee fully recovers payment of

-41-

its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnitor against any such third person on account of such Indemnity Payment will be subrogated and subordinated in right of payment to Indemnitee’s rights against such third person. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights. Any Indemnity Payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price.

11.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any party refuses to perform under this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate the other parties for their injuries. Therefore, each party shall, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, be entitled to obtain specific performance of this Agreement. If any action, suit, or proceeding is instituted by any party to enforce this Agreement, each of the other party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a default by any party that results in the filing of an action for damages, specific performance, or other remedies, the other parties shall be entitled to reimbursement by the defaulting party of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by it.

No delay, forbearance, or neglect by any party, whether in one or more instances, in the exercise or any right, power, privilege, or remedy hereunder or in the enforcement of any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a waiver thereof. Any waiver or consent shall be valid or binding only if expressly and affirmatively made in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged with such waiver. No waiver shall constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver or a waiver in respect of any subsequent breach or default, either of similar or different nature, unless expressly so stated in such writing.
