**ARTICLE 2. **
**PRORATIONS AND CREDITS **
2.1. Prorations.
(a) At Closing, the following items shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as to each Property and Company, as of 12:01 AM on the Closing Date:
(i) Fixed rents, additional rents and all other sums and credits due or payable under the Leases in effect as of the Closing Date, as and when collected, subject to Section*** 2.1(e)*.
(ii) Real Property Taxes based upon the Real Property Taxes for the current or previous year (if current year taxes are unavailable) for each Property. The Parties acknowledge that each Company shall be responsible for any and all Real Property Taxes due and payable after the Closing. If any Real Property Tax bill for the tax year in which the Closing occurs has been issued on or before the Closing Date, the proration shall be based on the actual amount of such bill. If any Real Property Tax bill for the tax year in which the Closing occurs has not been issued on or before the Closing Date (including, without limitation, in jurisdictions where Real Property Taxes are assessed or billed in arrears), the proration shall be based on one hundred five percent (105%) of the most recent available Real Property Tax bill (or, if higher, one hundred five percent (105%) of the most recent assessed value multiplied by the applicable mill rate or tax rate) for the applicable Property. Such proration of the Real Property Taxes provided in this Section*** 2.1(a)(ii)* shall be readjusted, if necessary, in cash between Purchaser and Seller within thirty (30) days after the tax bill for the applicable tax year is issued. Any refunds of Real Property Taxes made after the Closing shall first be paid to any Tenants who are entitled to such refunds under the Leases and the balance, if any, shall be paid to Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to Purchaser (for the period commencing on and after the Closing Date). The provisions of this Section*** 2.1(a)(ii)* shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months.
(iii) Charges and deposits for water, sewer rents, electricity, steam, gas and telephone which are not metered or otherwise charged directly to Tenants under the Leases; provided that if the consumption of any of such utilities is measured by meters, Seller on the Closing Date shall furnish a current (within thirty (30) days of Closing) reading of each meter; and provided, further, that if there is not a meter or if the current bill for any of such utilities has not been issued prior to the Closing Date, the charges therefor shall be adjusted on the basis of the charges for the prior period for which bills were issued and shall be further adjusted when the bills for the current period are issued.
3
(iv) Prepaid expenses paid by each Company pursuant to Miscellaneous Contracts that will be retained by each respective Post-Closing Company or that will otherwise accrue to the benefit of such Post-Closing Company from and after the Closing, and any other operating expenses and liabilities or amounts owed under the applicable Miscellaneous Contracts which are being retained by such Post-Closing Company and incurred prior to the Closing Date.
(v) All other revenues from each Property’s operations (other than rents, lease payments, lease application fees and lease termination fees), including for example, fees from on-site services and amenities; provided, however, that all such revenue collected on the Closing Date shall belong to Purchaser.
(vi) Without duplication of any other proration set forth above, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to (y) the cash on hand in each Company’s bank account(s) as of the Closing Date and (z) all lender cash trap, reserve, escrow and/or similar balances.
(vii) Such other items as are customarily apportioned between Seller and purchasers of real properties or membership interests in owners of real properties of a type similar to the Properties and located in the same geographic area as the Properties.
(b) To the extent a Company, as landlord under the Retail Leases, is collecting CAM Expenses from Tenants under the Retail Leases, Seller and Purchaser shall conduct a reconciliation and determination of the CAM Expenses for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs paid pursuant to the Retail Leases at least three (3) Business Days before Closing. If a Tenant has overpaid any such CAM Expenses through the Closing Date, then, at Purchaser’s option, Seller shall either refund the overpayments directly to such Tenant at the Closing or credit Purchaser at the Closing against the Purchase Price with the amount of such overpayment (in which case such Company shall refund such amount or credit such amount against future payment obligations of such Tenant). If a Tenant has underpaid any such CAM Expenses through the Closing Date, the provisions of Section*** 2.1(e*) concerning the collection of delinquent rents shall also apply to the collection and payment to Seller of such underpayment. Seller and Purchaser agree that as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall undertake a final reconciliation for such calendar year of the CAM Expenses with respect to the Retail Leases. Such reconciliation shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser shall prepare the final reconciliation, which shall be subject to Seller’s reasonable review and approval. Based on such final reconciliation and other applicable information, Purchaser and Seller shall determine the actual overpayment or underpayment of the CAM Expenses due for the period up to and including the Closing Date and shall reprorate the amount determined at the Closing.
(c) If, on the Closing Date, any items of additional rent or charges under the Retail Leases shall not have been ascertained, then such items shall be adjusted as and when the same are collected.
(d) Each of Seller and Purchaser (on behalf of itself and the Companies) shall maintain and make available to each other any books or records reasonably necessary for the adjustment of any item pursuant to Section*** 2.1(c)*.
(e) Any delinquent rents or underpaid CAM Expenses shall not be accrued or prorated at the Closing but shall be treated as set forth in this Section*** 2.1(e)*. Any rents or underpaid CAM Expenses for the Properties collected by a Post-Closing Company after the Closing Date shall be applied first to rentals and/or CAM Expenses due and payable for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, if unpaid, and then to any rents and/or CAM Expenses past due for months following the Closing Date, and then to any rentals and/or CAM Expenses due and payable for months prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Arrears”). Any rents and/or CAM Expenses collected by a Post-Closing
4
Company that are to be applied to the Arrears shall be held by such Post-Closing Company for the account of such Arrears payable to Seller and, after deducting therefrom all reasonable third-party expenses incurred by such Post-Closing Company in connection with the collection thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if any, such Post-Closing Company shall remit such rents received by Purchaser and/or such Post-Closing Company to which Seller is entitled within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. In no event shall Seller have the right to pursue the collection of any delinquent rents or underpaid CAM Expenses following the Closing. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any delinquent rents or underpaid CAM Expenses following the Closing Date which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit to Purchaser that portion of the monies so received by Seller to which Purchaser is entitled within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. Purchaser shall, and shall cause each Post-Closing Company to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any and all Arrears from the applicable Tenants and (ii) during the six (6) month period after the Closing, not waive or make any settlement or agreement with respect to any Arrears without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, neither Purchaser nor any Post-Closing Company shall be required to (A) commence or pursue any eviction proceeding or unlawful detainer action against any Tenant, (B) terminate or threaten to terminate any Lease, (C) engage any collection agency or institute any lawsuit or legal proceeding against any Tenant, or (D) otherwise take any action that would, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially and adversely affect the relationship between the applicable Post-Closing Company and any Tenant or materially interfere with the ongoing operations of the applicable Property.
(f) In the event that (i) any leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances, lease buyout costs, moving allowances, design allowances, legal fees, finder’s fees, locater fees, and other costs, expenses and allowances expressly provided for under the Leases in effect as of the Closing Date to induce a tenant to enter into a Lease or Lease renewal or extension (the “Tenant Inducement Costs”) have not been paid by a Company as of the Closing or (ii) a Tenant has deposited a security deposit with any Company under the terms of its Lease or has otherwise made a payment of rent or CAM Expenses to a Company in advance (the “Tenant Pre-Paid Amounts”), then Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price equal to such Tenant Inducement Costs and/or Tenant Pre-Paid Amounts, but solely to the extent such Tenant Pre-Paid Amounts are actually held by the Companies as of Closing (or, with respect to security deposits, have not been applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease) or are required to be transferred or credited to Purchaser or the applicable Post-Closing Company under the applicable Lease, including any interest thereon only to the extent required by Applicable Law or such Lease and actually held or accrued by the Companies, and, in each case, without duplication of any amounts otherwise addressed through prorations, credits or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant Inducement Costs shall not include any costs incurred at the direction or with the approval of Purchaser after the Effective Date or resulting from leasing decisions made after the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser has received such a credit at Closing for any Tenant Inducement Costs, the Parties shall cause the manager(s) of each applicable Property or the Company (as the case may be) to pay when due any Tenant Inducement Costs which become due and payable following the Closing.
(g) If any of the items described in this Section*** 2.1* cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error is discovered, as applicable; provided that neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that all prorations for Real Property Taxes shall be reprorated in accordance with Section*** 2.1(a)(ii)*.

2.2. Closing Costs.
(a) At Closing, Seller shall pay (i) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fee or closing fee charged by the Escrowee in connection with the Transaction, and (ii) the costs of the base Owner’s Policies and any extended coverage with respect to the Owner’s Policies.

Except as provided in Section*** 10.16*, each Party shall pay its own legal fees.

Purchaser has taken all actions and received all necessary consents and authorizations (or will by Closing) required for the consummation of Transaction by Purchaser and to perform its obligations under this Agreement; neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser nor the consummation by Purchaser of the Transaction will violate or result in the breach of any contract, agreement, law, rule or

regulation to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound; and this Agreement is valid and enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms and each instrument to be executed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or in connection herewith shall, when executed and delivered, be valid and enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity.
(b) Purchaser will be assigning this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee prior to Closing. For the purposes of the representations and warranties in this Section*** 4.3(b)* and in Section*** 4.3(e)(i)* below, the term “Purchaser” shall mean such Permitted Assignee and the representations and warranties in such Sections shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of Purchaser’s assignment of this MIPA to such Permitted Assignee and as of the Closing Date. Purchaser has adequate capital to comply with its obligations and consummate the Transaction for the conduct of its business and discharge of its debts.
(c) Purchaser is not insolvent and, immediately after giving effect to the Transaction, Purchaser shall not be insolvent. Purchaser has assets, and immediately after giving effect to the Transaction, shall have assets (both tangible and intangible) with a fair value in excess of the amount required to pay its liabilities as they come due. Purchaser is not involved in any proceeding by or against it as a debtor before any governmental entity under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency or debtors’ relief act, whether state, federal or foreign, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, assignee, sequestrator, or other similar official for any part of Purchaser’s property.
(d) Purchaser is not a “foreign person,” “foreign partnership” or “foreign corporation” (as each of those terms is defined in the Code).
(e) Purchaser acknowledges that the offering and issuance of the Membership Interests to be acquired in connection with the Transaction is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In furtherance thereof, Purchaser represents and warrants as follows:
(i) Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in each of Rule 50l(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act);
(ii) Purchaser is acquiring the Membership Interests solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof in violation of applicable securities laws;

Purchaser acknowledges that the Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable securities laws and, therefore, may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable securities laws or an exemption from registration or the prospectus requirement under securities laws is available.

**TITLE AND SURVEY **
5.1. Title.
(a) Existing Title. Seller has delivered to Purchaser the Title Commitments, together with copies of all documents recorded against the Real Property.
(b) Acceptance of Title. Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted title to the Real Property, and Purchaser shall consummate the Transaction, subject only to (i) the title exceptions set forth in Exhibit 5.1(b)-1 with respect to the Lexington Property, Exhibit 5.1(b)-2 with respect to the Gainesville Property, Exhibit 5.1(b)-3 with respect to the Gainesville 13th and 3rd Property, and Exhibit 5.1(b)-4 with respect to the Morgantown Property, (ii) the rights of Tenants, as tenants only, under the Leases (in each case without rights of first refusal to purchase, right of first offer to purchase or purchase options) with respect to the Leases disclosed on the Rent Rolls, and (iii) title exceptions created by or through Purchaser (the title exceptions, whether liens, encumbrances, defects, encroachments or other objections, described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section*** 5.l(b)* shall be collectively referred to as “Permitted Exceptions”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cure or satisfy all Required Removal Exceptions (as defined below) prior to the Closing.
(c) Non-Permitted Title Objections. If a Property is affected by any Encumbrance, defect, encroachment, objection or other exception to title which is not a Permitted Exception (collectively, “Non-Permitted Title Objections”), then in such event, Seller may endeavor to use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or satisfy the same in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and shall, for that purpose, be entitled to delay the Closing for up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate beyond the scheduled Closing Date provided that Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt by Seller of the applicable notice of Non-Permitted Title Objections (the “Title Objection Notice”), whether or not it will endeavor to eliminate such Non-Permitted Title Objections. If Seller elects not to endeavor to remove or satisfy such Non-Permitted Title Objections affecting the Real Property or is unable to remove or satisfy the same in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (it being agreed that the Title Company agreeing to insure over any Non-Permitted Title Objection by endorsement or removal from Schedule B(ii) of the applicable Owner’s Policy shall be a reasonably acceptable satisfaction solely to the extent that such Non-Permitted Title Objections can be removed or discharged by a payment of a liquidated sum of money),
37
then Purchaser shall have the right to either (i) accept title to the Membership Interests with the Real Property being subject to such Non-Permitted Title Objections, in which event Purchaser shall, to the extent the cost to remove such matters from title are readily ascertainable and less than or equal to $100,000.00, be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount so required to remove such matters from title and, if the cost is greater than $100,000.00, then Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of $100,000.00, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event, the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and thereafter no Parties shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or prior to Closing, Seller shall cure and/or remove of record (without notice of objection from Purchaser) (a) any deeds of trust, mortgages or security agreements placed on or affecting any of the Properties, the Companies and/or the Membership Interests (along with any ancillary loan documents that may have been recorded in conjunction with the same); provided, however, at Purchaser’s written request, such documents evidencing the Loan may remain outstanding if, and only if, such documents are to be amended, restated and/or assigned effective as of the Closing pursuant to arrangements acceptable to Seller, Lender and Purchaser, Seller shall have no obligation to incur any cost or liability or delay Closing in connection therewith, Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for, and indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against, any and all actual costs, fees, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and obligations arising from or relating to such amendment, restatement and/or assignment (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), Seller, each Pre-Closing Company and any guarantor or indemnitor in connection with the Loan shall be fully released at Closing, in writing, from all obligations under the Loan and all of the related loan documents, and there shall be no modification of the existing documents evidencing the Loan until after the foregoing releases have been obtained, (b) liens for past due taxes, (c) judgment liens against Seller, any Company or any Property, (d) mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens or notices thereof relating to work performed or labor provided at the request of Seller or any Company, (e) any other lien on a Property, and any other Non-Permitted Title Objection, in each case, created by Seller which can be removed or discharged by a payment of a liquidated sum of money, (f) all other liens (other than those which are created by Purchaser or its Affiliates) not contemplated by clauses (a) – (e) above which are in a liquidated amount which may be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated sum of money not exceeding a cumulative total of $250,000 in the case of this clause (f), and (g) all exceptions, liens or encumbrances to title which are created by, through or under Seller, any Company or any of their affiliates after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s prior written consent (collectively, “Required Removal Exceptions”).
5.2. Survey.
(a) Existing Surveys. Seller has delivered to Purchaser all existing surveys in Seller’s possession relating to the Real Property (collectively, the “Existing Surveys”). Purchaser may, at its option and at its sole cost and expense, obtain (and, if Purchaser so obtains, deliver to Seller and the Title Company) an updated survey for any of the Real Property (the “Updated Surveys”).
(b) Survey Objections. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Updated Surveys, of such objections as Purchaser may have to any item contained in the Updated Surveys which are not identified or included in any of the Existing Surveys and which are not otherwise Permitted Exceptions (“Survey Objections”). In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of any Survey Objections, such Survey Objections shall be treated similarly to objections to title in accordance with Section*** 5.1(c)*.

40
Lender, or (B) sending one notice to Lender (which shall be prepared by Purchaser and approved by Seller) to request that Lender cause the Multi-State Mortgage to be assigned to Purchaser’s lender. Seller shall have no obligation to agree to or to cause Lender to agree to any amendment, restatement or assignment of the Loan or Multi-State Mortgage, to incur any cost or expense, to modify any existing loan economics or other terms, to commence or participate in negotiations with Lender beyond forwarding the applicable request, or to delay Closing in connection therewith. To the extent that the Loan is amended and restated at the Closing or such Multi-State Mortgage is assigned to Purchaser’s lender at Closing: (i) the Multi-State Mortgage shall be a Permitted Exception, (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to any mortgage recording tax saved by the assignment of the Multi-State Mortgage at Closing to Purchaser’s lender, and (iii) Purchaser shall reimburse (or at Seller’s election credit) Seller for all actual out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Loan and/or the assignment of the Multi-State Mortgage, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees (but expressly excluding any exit fees and/or prepayment fees, if any, that would have otherwise been due if Seller had satisfied the Multi-State Mortgage at Closing).

The amendment and restatement of the Loan and/or the assignment of the Multi-State Mortgage shall be made, if applicable, without representation, warranty or recourse to Seller and the Pre-Closing Companies and Seller, the Pre-Closing Companies and any guarantor or indemnitor in connection with the Loan must be fully released by Lender from all obligations under the Multi-State Mortgage and all other loan documents executed by any such party in connection with the Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s obligation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the sale of the Membership Interests to Purchaser, shall not be conditioned on the amendment and restatement of the Loan and/or the assignment of the Multi-State Mortgage and Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser or any other party for the success or failure of such amendment and restatement and/or assignment.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) Seller makes no representations and assumes no responsibility with respect to the continued occupancy of the Property or any part thereof by any tenant; (ii) the removal of a tenant whether by summary proceedings or otherwise prior to the Closing Date shall not give rise to any claim on the part of Purchaser; (iii) Purchaser agrees that it shall not be grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction that any tenant is a holdover tenant or in default under its Lease on the Closing Date and Purchaser shall accept title subject to such holding over or default without an abatement in or credit against the Purchase Price; and (iv) Seller reserves the right to apply any security deposit under a Lease against any uncollected rents under such Lease or any sums due Seller under such Lease, except that Seller shall not so apply the security deposit of any Tenant under a Lease until such Tenant has vacated the premises covered by such Lease.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of that certain Access Agreement, dated May 20, 2026, by and between the Companies and Purchaser (the “*Access *Agreement”) are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference as if fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of the Access Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser (or a direct or indirect owner of Purchaser or Affiliate thereof) may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Properties (the “Financial Information”). If requested by Purchaser in writing within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller agrees to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost or expense to Seller, to make available to Purchaser information regarding the applicable Property that is in Seller’s possession and that is reasonably necessary for Purchaser and its representatives and agents to prepare the Financial Information and (ii) deliver a customary audit letter (the “Audit Inquiry Letter”) in such form as is reasonably required by Purchaser’s third-party accountants (the “Accountants”) and is reasonably acceptable to Seller, with such facts and assumptions as reasonably determined by the Accountants (as is reasonably acceptable to Seller) to make such certificate accurate, signed by the individual(s) responsible for Seller’s financial reporting, as prescribed by generally accepted auditing standards promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to create any new books, financial statements, financial information or records, incur any cost or expense for which Seller is not reimbursed by Purchaser, or provide cooperation other than making available existing information in Seller’s possession and providing reasonable cooperation as expressly set forth in this Section*** 6.2(c). In addition, at the request of Purchaser, to the extent that Seller’s financial statements for the Properties have been previously audited, Seller also agrees to (i) provide a copy of such financial statements to Purchaser and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the auditor of Seller’s financial statements to (y) provide its consent to the inclusion of its report, without exception or qualification, with respect to such audited financial statements, and (z) provide to Purchaser and/or their Affiliates or the underwriters or purchaser in any financing with appropriate comfort letters in accordance with the American Institute of Public Accountants’ professional standards; provided, however, that Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts with respect to any Audit Inquiry Letter and any third-party auditor consent or comfort letter shall be limited to making, at no cost or expense to seller, one request and any follow-up requests reasonably requested by Purchaser. The provisions of this Section** 6.2(c)* shall survive the Closing.
6.3. Tax Matters.
(a) Seller shall be responsible for and shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (at their sole cost and expense) all Tax Returns of each Company required or permitted to be filed for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes of a Company required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns or otherwise; provided that, with respect to any Tax Returns that will be filed after the Effective Date by Seller, Seller shall give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Returns prior to filing. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) all Tax Returns of the Companies for all Straddle Periods, shall (subject to the terms of this sentence) timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns (it being agreed that Seller pay to Purchaser, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the same are required to be paid by Purchaser, Seller’s share of all Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Tax Returns based on the appropriate allocation method set forth in Section*** 6.3(g)), and shall give Seller a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all such Tax Returns of the applicable Company prior to filing. All Tax Returns prepared by Seller or Purchaser under this Section** 6.3(a)* shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the
42
prior Tax Returns of the applicable Company. Seller shall not, and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Companies to not, amend or modify any such Tax Returns without the other party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Purchaser shall be responsible for all Tax Returns and all Taxes of the Companies for all taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date and Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Companies for all taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date.
(b) In the event (i) Seller or any Affiliate thereof, or (ii) Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof receive written notice of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment or other dispute concerning Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period with regard to a Company, the party in receipt of such notice promptly shall notify the other party of such matter in writing.
(c) Seller shall have the sole right to and shall represent the interests of the applicable Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to any Tax for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Seller shall reimburse all out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Purchaser (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) in connection therewith, provided that (i) Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to such audit or proceeding and shall give Purchaser the opportunity to participate, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, in such audit or proceeding and (ii) Seller shall not settle, compromise, or abandon any such audit or administrative or court proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to the extent such settlement, compromise, or abandonment would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Company for any Post-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Purchaser shall have the sole right to and shall represent the interests of a Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to any Tax for any Straddle Period and any Post-Closing Tax Period, and to employ counsel of its choice, all at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, provided that to the extent that any such audit or proceeding relates to a Straddle Period, Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed with respect to such audit or proceeding and shall give Seller the opportunity to participate, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, in such audit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim regarding Taxes with respect to any Tax Return of a Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
(d) Seller and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to): (i) assist the other party in preparing and filing any Tax Return or report that such other party is responsible for preparing and filing hereunder; (ii) reasonably cooperate in preparing for any audit of, or dispute with any Governmental Authority or other taxing authority regarding, any Tax Return of an applicable Company relating to taxable periods for which the other party may have a liability hereunder; (iii) make available to the other party and to any Governmental Authority or other taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of such applicable Company; (iv) provide timely notice to the other party in writing of any pending or threatened in writing Tax audit or assessment of Taxes with regard to such appliable Company for taxable periods for which the other party may have a liability hereunder; and (v) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence received from any Governmental Authority or other taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to such applicable Company for taxable periods for which the other party may have a liability hereunder.
(e) After the Closing, Seller and Purchaser will, and Purchaser will cause each Company to, preserve all information, records or documents relating to liabilities for Taxes of the applicable Company until six (6) months after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof) with respect to the assessment of such Taxes; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall dispose of any of the foregoing items without first offering such items to the other Party (provided that Purchaser’s obligation to offer such items to Seller shall only apply to such information, records or documents relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods).
43
(f) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section*** 2.1(a)*, all Taxes relating to a Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period will be the sole responsibility of Seller, and Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless with respect to such Taxes. All Taxes relating to any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless with respect to such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Taxes relating to a Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period are attributable solely to Purchaser’s adoption, modification or termination of any Tax election, Tax year or method of Tax accounting, after the Closing Date (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement), such Taxes shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, and Seller shall have no indemnification obligation in respect of such Taxes.
(g) Whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Section*** 6.3(g)* to determine the liability for Taxes of a Company for any Straddle Period and except as otherwise provided in Section*** 2.1(a)*, the determination shall be made by assuming that such Company had a taxable year or period which ended at the close of business on the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation) shall be apportioned on a time basis. For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes attributable to a transaction taking place on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
(h) Any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund with respect to a Company to be filed after the Closing Date that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall require the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section*** 2.1(a), to the extent any refunds, interest, or credits with respect to Taxes of a Company are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, such refunds, interest, or credits shall be for the account of Seller. To the extent that any refunds, interest, or credits with respect to Taxes of a Company are attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period, such refunds, interest, or credits shall be for the account of Purchaser and the other members of the applicable Post-Closing Company. To the extent any refunds, interest, or credits with respect to Taxes paid by a Company are attributable to a Straddle Period, such refunds, interest or credits with respect to Taxes shall be apportioned among Seller and Purchaser based on the appropriate allocation method set forth in Section** 6.3(g)*.

**ARTICLE 8. **
**DEFAULTS AND INDEMNIFICATION **
8.1. Seller*’*s Default. If Seller shall default in the (a) performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement prior to the Closing and fails to cure such default within ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such ten (10) Business Day notice and cure period shall not apply with respect to the failure of Seller to (i) perform any of its obligations at Closing or (ii) consummate the Closing on the Closing Date, which will be deemed an immediate default by Seller) and/or (b) performance of any of its obligations at Closing and/or (c) consummation of the Closing on the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedies at law or in equity, to either (y) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to Purchaser’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Expenses (as hereinafter defined) and, thereafter, no Party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (z) seek specific performance of such obligations hereunder (if, however, the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available because Seller has sold the Property or the Membership Interests to a bona fide purchaser for value, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as additional agreed upon damages, an amount equal to Purchaser’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Expenses, and, in addition, Purchaser shall have the right to sue Seller for “benefit of the bargain” damages (i.e. the positive difference, if any, of the purchase price paid by such bona fide purchaser less the Purchase Price); provided,
46
however, that as a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right it may have to bring such a damage action, Purchaser must commence such an action within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such default and Purchaser agrees that failure to timely commence such action for “benefit of the bargain” damages within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a waiver of such right to commence such action). If Purchaser elects its remedy under clause (y) of this Section*** 8.1,* then Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser, as full and final damages, an amount equal to the third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction, including, without limitation, the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, Purchaser’s due diligence investigations, examinations, reviews and inspections pertaining to the Transaction prior to the termination of this Agreement, and the enforcement of this Agreement, and nonrefundable fees, costs and expenses relating to the Properties, up to an aggregate amount of $400,000.00 (the “Purchaser’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Expenses”); it being agreed that Seller’s obligation hereunder to reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Expenses shall relate only to Purchaser’s Reimbursable Due Diligence Expenses with respect to which Purchaser delivers to Seller a third-party invoice (with reasonable supporting information and documentation and evidence of payment) within thirty (30) days after the date on which Purchaser gives Seller written notice of Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement.
8.2. Purchaser’s Default. IF PURCHASER SHALL DEFAULT IN THE (A) PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF ITS MATERIAL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING AND FAILS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF FROM SELLER TO PURCHASER (PROVIDED THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SUCH TEN (10) BUSINESS DAY NOTICE AND CURE PERIOD SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO THE FAILURE OF PURCHASER TO (I) PERFORM ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING OR (II) CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING ON THE CLOSING DATE, WHICH WILL BE DEEMED AN IMMEDIATE DEFAULT BY PURCHASER) AND/OR (B) PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING AND/OR (C) CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING ON THE CLOSING DATE, THEN SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, FOR SUCH DEFAULT, TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF TO PURCHASER, WHEREUPON NO PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER (EXCEPT FOR THOSE PROVISIONS HEREOF WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT), AND ESCROWEE SHALL DELIVER THE EARNEST MONEY TO SELLER, WHICH SHALL CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HEREUNDER. IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT SELLER WILL INCUR EXPENSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION AND THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF DETRIMENT TO SELLER CAUSED BY SUCH A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION SELLER SHOULD RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT.
8.3. Seller*’*s Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section*** 4.2*, *Section** 8.1* and Section*** 8.3(b)*, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, trustees, investors, beneficiaries, partners, employees, agents and representatives, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, and including Purchaser, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against, and will pay to Purchaser Indemnitees the amount of, any and all actual losses, liabilities, claims, actual damages (specifically excluding consequential, punitive and/or special damages and/or lost profits (except to the extent payable to a third-party)), penalties, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, taxes, costs, fees
47
(including, but not limited to, reasonable investigation fees), expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any of Purchaser Indemnitees arising from, relating to or as a result of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and/or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and the certificates and/or documents delivered pursuant hereto), (ii) any breach of any covenants or other obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any document or certificate executed or delivered in connection herewith, (iii) Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, or (iv) Seller’s obligations with respect to Taxes of any Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period under Section*** 6.3*, or (v) any third-party claims made against any of the Companies for personal injury or property damage arising out of tort claims resulting from events occurring prior to the Closing Date and during Seller’s period of ownership of the applicable Company or Property (excluding any matters disclosed to or known by Purchaser prior to Closing and any Losses to the extent actually recovered under applicable insurance policies, provided Purchaser Indemnitees comply with their obligations to reasonably pursue and coordinate such coverage) (the “Retained Liabilities”). With respect to any claim for Retained Liabilities, Purchaser Indemnitees shall, in good faith, reasonably pursue and cooperate in the pursuit of available insurance coverage before seeking recovery from Seller, Seller shall receive a credit against its indemnification obligations for any insurance proceeds or other third-party recoveries actually received by any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to the same Losses, no Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to duplicate recovery for the same Losses, and Seller shall have no liability for any Losses to the extent resulting from Purchaser Indemnitees’ failure to comply with the foregoing obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller’s obligations pursuant to clause (i) of the foregoing sentence with respect to (v) Fundamental Reps shall survive the Closing for the Fundamental Rep Survival Period, (w) Tax Reps and clause (iv) of the foregoing sentence shall survive the Closing for the Tax Rep Survival Period; (x) Property Reps shall survive the Closing for the Property Rep Survival Period, and (y) Intermediate Reps and clause (v) of the foregoing sentence with respect to the Retained Liabilities shall survive the Closing for the Intermediate Rep Survival Period. In the event that notice of any claim for indemnification describing in reasonable detail the basis of such claim and the facts then known with respect thereto has been given pursuant to this Agreement within the applicable Survival Period, the indemnification claim (and the right to pursue such claim), solely with respect to such timely made claim, shall survive with respect to such claim until such time as such claim is fully resolved and satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to Retained Liabilities shall remain subject in all respects to the Threshold, the applicable Cap and the applicable Survival Period set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no amounts on account of an indemnity shall be payable as a result of any claim arising under Section*** 8.3(a)* and/or any other indemnity contained in this Agreement unless and until Purchaser Indemnitees have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to aggregate Losses in excess of $100,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case Purchaser Indemnitees may bring a claim for all Losses against Seller up to but not exceeding the applicable Cap, (ii) and the aggregate maximum liability of Seller under this Agreement shall not exceed (A) with respect to the Fundamental Reps, the Purchase Price in the aggregate (the “Fundamental Cap”), (B) with respect to the Intermediate Reps or with respect to the indemnity relating to Retained Liabilities, ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Property Amount for the applicable Company or Property (the “Intermediate Cap”), (C) with respect to the Tax Reps, ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate (the “Tax Cap”), and (D) with respect to the Property Reps, one and one half percent (1.5%) of the Allocated Property Amount for the applicable Company or Property (the “Property Cap”; and together with the Fundamental Cap, the Intermediate Cap and the Tax Cap, as applicable, the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Caps are not separate or cumulative, and any Losses recovered by any Purchaser Indemnitee under this Section*** 8.3* or otherwise under this Agreement with respect to any claim subject to any Cap shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the maximum amount recoverable under any other applicable Cap, Purchaser Indemnitees shall not recover more than the highest applicable Cap for the claims actually
48
asserted and otherwise recoverable, and no Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to duplicate recovery for the same Losses under multiple claim categories or multiple Caps. For the avoidance of doubt, recovery by Purchaser Indemnitees of Losses in an amount equal to the Fundamental Cap shall exhaust all recovery subject to a Cap, and any recovery by Purchaser Indemnitees under the Property Cap shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise available under the Fundamental Cap, Intermediate Cap, Tax Cap or any other applicable Cap; provided, further, that the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section*** 8.3(b)* shall not apply to the claims of Purchaser Indemnitees (I) with respect to post-closing proration obligations under Section*** 2.1*, (II) with respect to the brokerage indemnity under Section*** 10.4*, or (III) with respect to the indemnity obligations under Section*** 8.4*, which obligations shall not be subject to any Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, except for Seller’s obligations described in clauses (I), (II) and (III) of the immediately preceding sentence which are expressly not subject to any Cap, any post-Closing liability and/or indemnification obligation of Seller under this Agreement that is not expressly subject to a Cap shall be deemed subject to a cap of Zero Dollars ($0.00). In addition, the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section*** 8.3(b)* shall not apply to any claim for damages if Seller is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment, to have committed fraud in connection with, or with respect to, the Transaction, and the same shall not count against the Cap.
(c) Subject to the limitations of liability set forth in Section*** 8.3(b)* and the applicable Survival Period set forth in this Agreement (and the applicable carveouts thereto), AREG US Fund X Investments Pooling LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), hereby irrevocably guarantees, as principal and not as surety, the due and punctual payment of any and all amounts actually due by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section*** 8.3(a), and only to the same extent (and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the same caps, thresholds, defenses, Survival Periods and other limitations, as apply to Seller under this Agreement). Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Seller, protest, notice (except as otherwise required hereunder) and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of the obligations of Guarantor expressly set forth in this Section** 8.3(c)*.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject in all respects to the terms of Sections 8.3(c) and 8.4, no shareholder, member, partner, officer, director, manager, employee, agent, representative, Affiliate or direct or indirect owner of Seller, nor any Seller Related Party, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement, any Closing Document or any agreement, certificate or instrument made or entered into under or pursuant to this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing, whether heretofore or hereafter made, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability and shall look solely to Seller’s assets for the payment of any claim against Seller or for any performance by Seller, except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 8.3(c) or 8.4. In no event shall Seller be liable for any consequential, punitive or special damages or lost profits in connection with this Agreement, any Closing Document, any agreement, certificate or instrument made or entered into under or pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent owed and payable to a third party.
8.4. Core Non-Imputation. The Parties acknowledge that the standard form ALTA 15.1 Title Endorsement is not available in the State of Florida. To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transaction, Core Principals hereby join in the execution of this Agreement and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from all Losses incurred by Purchaser solely as a direct result of either of the below events:
(a) subsequent to the Closing Date, the Gainesville University Company makes a claim against its Owner’s Policy for the Gainesville University Property, and the Title Company denies such claim under Exclusions from Coverage 3(a), (b), or (e) of such Owner’s Policy solely by reason of the intentional action or inaction or knowledge, as of the date of such Owners Policy, of the Gainesville University Company (or its interest holders) whether or not imputed to Purchaser by operation of law; or
49
(b) subsequent to the Closing Date, the Gainesville 13th and 3rd Company makes a claim against its Owner’s Policy for the Gainesville 13th and 3rd Property, and the Title Company denies such claim under Exclusions from Coverage 3(a), (b), or (e) of such Owner’s Policy solely by reason of the intentional action or inaction or knowledge, as of the date of such Owners Policy, of the Gainesville 13th and 3rd Company (or its interest holders) whether or not imputed to Purchaser by operation of law.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnity contained in this Section*** 8.4* shall not be subject to any limitations of liability contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section*** 8.3*. The provisions of this Section*** 8.4* shall survive the Closing.
8.5. The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
**ARTICLE 9. **
**DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR **
**DIMINUTION OF PROPERTY **
9.1. Condemnation or Destruction of Property. If, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, either all or any portion of a Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings or condemnation or any of the improvements on a Property are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser, notice of any such eminent domain proceedings or casualty.

50
compliant with any Applicable Law; or (d) the use of a Property for the purpose for which it is presently being operated becomes materially adversely impaired, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) Business Days after (y) notification to Purchaser of the estimated amount of damages or the determination of the amount of any condemnation award or (z) the determination of the existence of the conditions set forth in clauses (b), (c) or (d) above.
