Contributor has no knowledge of any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court,
Governmental Entity or arbitration against or affecting all or any portion of the Contributor
Interests or any Student Housing Entity which in any such case
4

lapse of time, or both, (i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default
under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse
to the Company Entities of (A) the organizational documents, including the charters and bylaws, if
any, of the Contributor or the Student Housing Entities, (B) any agreement, document or instrument
to which the Contributor is a party or by which the Contributor or any of the Student Housing

filing with, any person or governmental or regulatory authority or foreign, federal, state, local
or other law binding on the Contributor or the Student Housing Entities or by which the
Contributor, the Student Housing Entities or any of their assets or properties are bound or
subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach or
default would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon
any of the Contributor Interests or any Student Housing Entity or any interests therein except such
Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) No Breach or Default. Except as shall have been cured, consented to or waived in writing
by the Company prior to the Closing or except as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto,
none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) violate,
conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of

Contributor, or any person holding a direct or indirect controlling interest in the Contributor, or
any of their respective affiliates and any other person that would give rise to a

withholding provisions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including
withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons. The Contributor is a United States person (as

FINRA member not purchased in the open market, or has made any outstanding subordinated loans to a
FINRA member. (A company or natural person is presumed to control a member of FINRA and is
therefore presumed to constitute an affiliate of such member if the company or person is the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding securities of a member which is a corporation.
Additionally, a natural person is presumed to control a member of the FINRA and is therefore
presumed to constitute an affiliate of such member if such person has the power to direct or cause
the direction of the management or policies of such member.)

actual knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of X.X. Xxxxxx, III.

standing under the laws of the state of its formation and has full right, power, and authority to
enter into this Agreement, and to assume and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such entity,
and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity, enforceable
against such entity in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency
and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity.
6
(b) Litigation. To such entity’s knowledge, there is no Action pending or, to such entity’s
knowledge, threatened in any court, before any arbitrator, or before or by any Governmental Entity
or other regulatory authority naming any Company Entity as a party that is reasonably likely to
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company Entities to perform their obligations
hereunder, or otherwise delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby

order, writ, injunction or decree of any court relating to the transactions contemplated by this
