The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrowee pursuant to the terms of a strict joint order escrow agreement executed by Sellers, Purchaser and Escrowee in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). If and as Purchaser directs, Escrowee shall invest the Earnest Money in an interest bearing savings or money market account or short term U.S. Treasury Bills or similar cash equivalent securities. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement close in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at each Closing an allocable portion of the Earnest Money (based on the allocation of the Purchase Price to the Acquired Assets that are the subject of each such Closing) shall be delivered by Escrowee to the applicable Sellers as payment toward the allocated portion of the Purchase Price to be paid at each such Closing, and the remaining portion of the Earnest Money shall continue to be held by Escrowee until applied or disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          B. Existing Mortgage Financing. There are currently first mortgage liens (the “Existing Mortgages”) against certain of the Properties securing promissory notes (the “Existing Notes”) all as more particularly described on Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Existing Loans”).

7


 

Ninety Nine Million Eighty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($99,080,000.00) divided by Fifty-Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($58.00) per share not to exceed 4.5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) 1,740,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of ELS, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) with the rights, preferences and privileges as set forth on the Articles Supplementary attached hereto as Exhibit S, representing the sum of One Hundred Million Nine Hundred Twenty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,920,000.00) divided by Fifty-Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($58.00) per share (collectively, the “Stock Consideration”). For purposes of paying the Stock Consideration pursuant to this Section 2(C), ELS shall contribute stock certificate(s) in book entry form representing the Stock Consideration to MHC Trust, who in turn will contribute stock certificate(s) in book entry form representing the Stock Consideration to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall deliver such stock certificate(s) in book entry form as provided for in this Agreement.

The Stock Recipients shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement for the purposes of agreeing to deliver to Purchaser and ELS the representations and warranties contained in Section 7(A)(xxxix) through Section 7(A)(xliv). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Seller or any Stock Recipient redeem any Preferred Stock for Common Stock if, after taking into consideration such redemption, the total amount of Common Stock held by any Seller or any Stock Recipient shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 2(C) shall survive each Closing (including the Final Closing) and the recordation and delivery of any deeds and other transfer instruments.
          D. Ground Lease Credit.
          (i) Colony Cove Ground Lease. Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the Ground Lease contains (a) an option to purchase the Ground Lease Property that cannot be exercised by the ground lessee thereunder until the occurrence of certain conditions contained therein and (b) the right of the ground lessor to “put” the Ground Lease Property to the ground lessee. Sellers and Purchaser further acknowledge and agree that the purchase price for the Ground Lease Property to be paid by the ground lessee upon the trigger of such option to purchase or sell the Ground Lease Property (the “Ground Lease Property Purchase Price”) increases from time to time in accordance with Schedule 2(D) attached hereto.
          (ii) Colony Cove Escrow. At the applicable Closing for the Ground Lease Property if the Ground Lease Fee Closing has not occurred, Sellers shall deposit into an escrow (the “Ground Lease Escrow”) established by Escrowee Shares of Preferred Stock valued at $58.00 per share equal in value to the amount of Six Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($6,600,000.00) (the “Ground Lease Escrow Shares”) and Purchaser shall deposit into an escrow (the “Ground Lease Note Escrow”),

8


 

an amount equal to the then-outstanding balance together with accrued but unpaid interest pursuant to the Colony Cove Notes (the “Note Funds”). At the applicable Closing for the Ground Lease Property, Sellers, Purchaser and the Title Insurer shall enter into (a) an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (the “Ground Lease Escrow Agreement”), which shall govern the creation and maintenance of the Ground Lease Escrow and (b) an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit T-1 attached hereto (the “Ground Lease Note Escrow Agreement”), which shall govern the creation and maintenance of the Ground Lease Note Escrow.
          (iii) Incremental Disbursements. On the first business day of the first full calendar quarter after the applicable Closing Date for the Ground Lease Property, and on the first business day of each calendar quarter thereafter (each such date being an “Escrow Disbursement Date”) through the Ground Lease Fee Closing (or earlier upon depletion of the escrow funds), (a) Purchaser shall receive a distribution from the Ground Lease Escrow equal to the aggregate amount set forth as the “Distribution Amount,” as shown on Schedule 2(D), for the prior calendar quarter. For each such Distribution Amount, Purchaser shall receive Ground Lease Escrow Shares in the amount of such Distribution Amount divided by $58.00 and (b) Purchaser shall receive a distribution from the Ground Lease Note Escrow equal to the aggregate amount set forth as the “Note Distribution Amount,” as shown on Schedule 2(D), for the prior calendar quarter.
          (iv) Post-Closing Final Disbursement. In the event that the Closing consists of the transfer of the Ground Lease (as opposed to the fee title) for the Ground Lease Property, then upon the consummation of the purchase (or deemed purchase, as provided below) of the fee interest in the Ground Lease Property (“Ground Lease Fee Closing”) by Purchaser (or its designee), Purchaser shall receive a distribution of Ground Lease Escrow Shares from the Ground Lease Escrow in an amount equal to the aggregate amount set forth as the “Distribution Amount,” as shown on Schedule 2(D), between the date on which the Ground Lease Fee Closing occurs and the previous Escrow Disbursement Date, prorated to account for such closing occurring on any day other than the first day of a month, divided by $58.00. Immediately upon such distribution to Purchaser, all remaining Ground Lease Escrow Shares and any cash balance in the Ground Lease Escrow shall be disbursed to Sellers and the Ground Lease Escrow shall automatically terminate. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(D) to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers’ liability with respect to the Ground Lease Escrow exceed the aggregate amount of $6,600,000.00. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to consummate the Ground Lease Fee Closing on the earliest possible date under the terms of the Ground Lease. If such Ground Lease Fee Closing does not occur on such earliest possible date solely as a result of a default by Purchaser under the terms of the Ground Lease then Purchaser shall be deemed to have consummated the Ground Lease Fee Closing on such earliest possible date for purposes of calculating the Distribution Amount and disbursing Seller’s portion thereof. From and after the applicable Closing Date with respect to the Ground Lease Property and so long as the Ground Lease Escrow is in effect, if Purchaser receives a notice under the Ground Lease that triggers the right of the ground lessee thereunder to exercise the option to purchase the fee interest in the Ground Lease Property or allows the ground lessor to

9


 

“put” the Ground Lease Property to the ground lessee, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a copy of such notice within five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof.
          (v) Pre-Closing “Put” or Exercise of the Purchase Option of the Ground Lease. In the event that, pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease, the ground lessor under the Ground Lease elects to “put” the Ground Lease Property to the lessee under the Ground Lease and the Ground Lease Fee Closing in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease occurs prior to the Closing with respect to the Ground Lease Property under this Agreement, then the applicable Seller shall consummate the Ground Lease Fee Closing pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease prior to the Closing with respect to the Ground Lease Property under this Agreement. In the event that, pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease, the ground lessor under the Ground Lease delivers the “Offer Notice” (as such term is defined in the Fifth Amendment), the applicable Seller shall elect to purchase the fee interest in the Ground Lease Property pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease and the applicable Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Ground Lease Fee Closing subject and pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease prior to or simultaneously with the Closing with respect to the Ground Lease Property under this Agreement and Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Closing simultaneously with Seller’s purchase of the Ground Lease Property and Sellers shall have the right to direct, if permitted by the Ground Lease, the ground lessor to convey title to the Ground Lease Property directly to Purchaser. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with copies of all notices, correspondences and documents with respect to any transfer of the fee interest in the Ground Lease Property and shall keep Purchaser apprised of the status of such transfer.
          (vi) Pre-Closing Death of Ground Lessor. Prior to the applicable Closing Date with respect to the Ground Lease Property, if Sellers receive a notice under the Ground Lease that triggers the right of the ground lessee thereunder to purchase the fee interest in the Ground Lease Property pursuant to the Ground Lease, Sellers shall provide a copy of such notice to Purchaser within five (5) business day after Sellers’ receipt thereof. In such event and upon notice from Purchaser to Sellers, pursuant to which Purchaser has elected to cause the applicable Seller to purchase the fee simple interest in the Ground Lease Property and which notice states a closing date on which Purchaser elects that the Ground Lease Fee Closing shall occur, Seller shall, within five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice, deliver a notice to the ground lessor, pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease, electing to purchase the fee simple interest in the Ground Lease Property and have the Ground Lease Fee Closing occur on the date set forth in Purchaser’s notice (or such other date as may be required by the Ground Lease). If the Ground Lease Fee Closing occurs prior to the Closing with respect to the Ground Lease Property under this Agreement, then the applicable Seller shall consummate the Ground Lease Fee Closing pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease as aforesaid. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with copies of all notices, correspondences and documents with respect to such transfer and shall keep Purchaser apprised of the status of such transfer.
          (vii) Pre-Closing Purchase of the Ground Lease Property. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the

Ground Lease Fee Closing shall have occurred prior to the Closing with respect to the Ground Lease Property under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Sections 2(D)(v) or 2(D)(vi) above, then: (a) the fee simple interest in the Ground Lease Property shall be included in the definition of “Acquired Assets” hereunder; (b) the applicable Seller, in lieu of transferring its interest in the Ground Lease at the applicable Closing, shall cause to be transferred to Purchaser (or its designee) fee simple title to the Ground Lease Property at such Closing, pursuant to the same form of transfer documents by which the Sellers are transferring fee simple title to the other Properties under this Agreement (or such form as may be required by the Ground Lease if Sellers direct the ground lessor to consummate the Ground Lease Fee Closing directly with Purchaser); (c) the Purchase Price shall be increased by $33,400,000.00, (d) Purchaser and the applicable Seller shall not enter into the Ground Lease Escrow Agreement or the Ground Lease Note Escrow Agreement; and (e) the applicable Seller shall not escrow the Ground Lease Escrow Shares and Purchaser shall not escrow the Note Funds.
          E. Cash Balance. At each Closing, Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Seller the Purchase Price allocated to the applicable Acquired Assets minus (i) the allocable portion of the Earnest Money applicable to such Closing plus the allocable portion of the interest, if any, earned on the principal balance of such Earnest Money, to the extent paid to Seller, (ii) the aggregate amount of the indebtedness then owed under the Existing Loan Documents that are the subject of a Loan Assumption, as applicable, and (iii) the Stock Consideration delivered to Seller, as applicable, such sum to be paid by wire transferred federal funds, subject, however, to such adjustments and prorations as are required pursuant to this Agreement (such amount, as adjusted, is hereinafter referred to as the “Cash Balance”). Furthermore, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a credit at Closing in the amount of any reserve or escrow accounts existing as of the Closing Date relative to the corresponding Loan Assumption (collectively, the “Reserves”), whereupon the Reserves will continue to be held by the applicable Existing Lender and become Purchaser’s assets and Purchaser shall be entitled to a return thereof directly from the applicable Existing Lender (or, if such amounts are paid to a Seller upon repayment of the applicable Existing Loan, such Seller shall immediately deliver such Reserves to Purchaser). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by an Existing Lender, Purchaser shall replace the amount of the Reserves then existing with such amounts as may be reasonably required by such Existing Lender, in which case Sellers shall receive, at or after the applicable Closing, directly from such Existing Lender, an amount equal to the Reserves existing as of the applicable Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that Sellers’ rights in and to such distribution of the Reserves pursuant to this sentence shall survive the applicable Closing and Purchaser shall assign any rights in and to such Reserves to Sellers to the extent required to effectuate the intent of this subsection.
          F. Application of Stock Consideration. After the First Closing, Sellers and Purchaser agree that the Shares may be issued and the Stock Consideration may be applied at such time and at such Closing(s) as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion which occur on or prior to the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date; provided, however, if Closings have not occurred on Properties which are subject to Existing Loans which require equity of at least $120,000,000.00 (the “Equity Threshold”) as of the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date, then Purchaser may continue to use Stock Consideration until the Equity Threshold is reached.

11


 

          G. Allocation of Purchase Price for Closings. Sellers and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the individual Properties as set forth in a separate agreement among Sellers and Purchaser. Any references in this Agreement to an allocation of the Purchase Price shall mean the allocations agreed to by the parties as set forth in such separate agreement.
          H. Purchaser’s SEC and Accounting Allocations. Notwithstanding the allocation of the Purchase Price among the individual properties referred to in Section 2(G) above, to the extent that such allocations conflict with generally accepted accounting principles or laws, regulations or findings of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) (or any other regulatory authority) applicable to Purchaser, such allocations may be reflected in Purchaser’s disclosures with the SEC and filings with the IRS in order to comply with generally accepted accounting principles or such laws, regulations or findings of the SEC or the IRS (or any other regulatory authority), as applicable, provided however, any such internal allocations shall not modify the amount to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers with respect to any Properties.
     3. SELLERS’ COVENANTS PRIOR TO CLOSING
          Through the Final Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) or with respect to any Property, such earlier date upon which this Agreement is no longer applicable or the Closing therefor has occurred, and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Sellers (and Purchaser, where applicable) shall:
          A. (i) commencing two (2) business days after the Effective Date, afford Purchaser and its representatives access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to the Acquired Assets and the management level employees of Sellers who perform functions on behalf of or provide services to the Properties and (ii) furnish, or cause to be furnished (and posted), to Purchaser, the documents and information set forth in Schedule 3(A) attached hereto including, without limitation, any updates thereto prepared by Sellers in the ordinary course of business. Purchaser shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Sellers and any property management company of a Seller located at a Property harmless for any damage to any Property to the extent caused or alleged to have been caused by Purchaser or its representatives and which would not have been incurred but for the acts of Purchaser or its representatives, provided that if any claim relating thereto is asserted against Sellers, Sellers shall promptly give written notice thereof to Purchaser and allow Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to defend the same. The failure to give prompt notice shall not eliminate Purchaser’s obligations hereunder. Except as provided in Section 7(N) hereof, no investigation pursuant to this Section 3(A) shall alter any representation or warranty given in this Agreement or in Exhibit E by Sellers or the effect of any such representation or warranty. At Sellers’ election, a representative of Sellers shall be present during any entry by Purchaser or its representatives upon the Acquired Assets for inspecting same. Purchaser shall not cause or permit any mechanics’ liens or other liens to be filed against the Acquired Assets as a result of the inspections. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any Phase II environmental assessments or any tests that require the physical alteration of any Property (including, without limitation, borings or samplings) without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent Sellers may withhold in its reasonable discretion. All information obtained shall

12


 

be deemed to be Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and such information shall be used by Purchaser and its agents solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or with respect to Purchaser’s offering of its shares to the public for funds related to this transaction it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall have the right to include such information in its prospectus or other share offering materials or general SEC filings provided that any financial information set out therein or otherwise so disclosed shall with respect to the prospectus be made on a portfolio-wide basis and shall not be specific or identifiable to any specific Acquired Asset other than on a regional or state-wide consolidated percentages of revenue basis; provided, however that the obligation contained in this sentence shall cease as of the Closing relative to any Acquired Asset so purchased except with respect to any information regarding Sellers or their affiliates that is deemed to be proprietary by Sellers or relates to an Acquired Asset not purchased. Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 2(A) shall survive each Closing (including the Final Closing) and the recordation and delivery of any deeds and other transfer instruments or the termination of this Agreement;
          B. manage and operate the Properties substantially in accordance with Sellers’ past business practices and keep the Properties and the tangible Personal Property in reasonably good condition and repair, normal wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. No Seller shall make any material change in the management of the Properties nor in its normal and customary leasing and billing practices, and shall not apply any security deposits against rent delinquencies or other Lease defaults except for Leases that have been terminated as of the applicable Closing in accordance with Sellers’ past business practices, without the prior written consent of Purchaser;
          C. not sell, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any part of the Acquired Assets or any interest therein, nor initiate, consent to, approve or otherwise take any action with respect to zoning or any other governmental rules or regulations applicable to all or any part of the Properties as of the Effective Date that would be binding on Purchaser or a Property after the applicable Closing; provided, however, that, subject to Purchaser’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Sellers shall have the right to enter into easement, license and similar agreements that are reasonably necessary for the operation of the Properties for their intended purpose; provided, further, that Sellers may replace worn out or obsolete Personal Property in the ordinary course of business with personal property of equal or greater value and utility;
          D. not terminate, modify, amend, extend or renew any Lease or Service Contract or enter into any new Lease or Service Contract except in the ordinary course of business, or institute any new rent increases (except as set forth in the Disclosure Book), without the prior written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and in no event shall any new Lease or any modification, amendment, extension or renewal of any existing Lease provide for a monthly rental less than the rental being charged as of the Effective Date and that would be binding on Purchaser or a Property after the applicable Closing unless same was included in the Disclosure Book. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with bi-weekly updates as to the status and terms of all terminations, modifications, amendments, extensions or renewals of any Leases or the execution of any new Leases;

13


 

          E. promptly deliver to Purchaser (i) updated copies of Sellers’ monthly operating statements for the Acquired Assets for the period between the Effective Date and the applicable Closing Date, and (ii) written notice of the occurrence of any event that materially and adversely affects the truth or accuracy of any representations or warranties made or to be made by Sellers under or pursuant to this Agreement or Exhibit E;
          F. in the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to certain Acquired Assets (except with respect to a termination as a result of a default by any Seller hereunder), Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a complete copy of any written studies, reports, tests results or similar documents prepared by third-parties for or on behalf of Purchaser or its agents excluding only market and economic feasibility studies and other reports prepared by Purchaser, subject in each case to any confidentiality or other restrictions imposed by the issuer of such reports (it being understood that such reports will be delivered “AS-IS” and Seller shall have no right to rely upon same); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to deliver to Sellers any such studies, reports, test results or similar documents with respect to more than ten (10) Properties (unless Purchaser shall have defaulted under this Agreement);
          G. comply in all material respects with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any government, or any agency, body or subdivision thereof, and all agreements, covenants, conditions, easements and restrictions, relating to the Acquired Assets;
          H. maintain in full force and effect all insurance coverages for the Properties and the Personal Property in effect as of the Effective Date, subject to such modifications that are consistent with HTA’s other properties;
          I. comply in all material respects with all covenants, conditions and agreements pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents first accruing after the Effective Date; promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of any loan statements and material notices from any Existing Lender delivered to any Seller relating to the Existing Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any and all notices of default and copies of any notices from any Seller to any Existing Lender relating to the Existing Loan Documents; except as set forth in Section 3(M), not amend, modify, extend or terminate any Existing Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser; comply in all material respects with all covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in the loan documents evidencing and securing the Defeasance Loans (as hereinafter defined) first accruing after the Effective Date; promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of any loan statements and material notices from any lender with respect to a Defeasance Loan delivered to any Seller relating to the loan documents evidencing and securing the Defeasance Loan, including, without limitation, any and all notices of default and copies of any notices from any Seller to any lender relating to the Defeasance Loans;
     J. from the Effective Date through the Final Closing Date (or such earlier date as (i) this Agreement may be terminated due to Purchaser’s default which is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date (as defined below) with respect to any Properties which were assigned to a purchaser unaffiliated with Purchaser, (iii) the date upon which this Agreement is terminated as to any particular Property, as to such Property), Sellers and their parent, Hometown America Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), shall not, and shall cause each of their

14


 

    respective directors, officers, managers, general partners or authorized representatives (collectively, the “Exclusivity Parties”), to not, (A) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal regarding any Potential Transaction (as hereinafter defined); (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any material information or data to any third party relating to, any Potential Transaction; (C) enter into any verbal or written agreement or agreement in principle with respect to any Potential Transaction; or (D) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to consummate a Potential Transaction. Sellers and Holdings shall advise Purchaser of any written inquiries by any third party with respect to a Potential Transaction valued at more than Five Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000,000.00) received by Patrick Zilis or Richard Cline or received in writing by any member of the Advisory Board of Holdings. A “Potential Transaction” means any stock or asset sale, merger, joint venture, partnership, purchase, exchange or contribution, business combination or similar transaction with respect to all or a portion of the Properties (other than de minimis personal property). It is understood and agreed that the rights granted to Purchaser in this Section 3(J) (collectively, the “Exclusivity Rights”) are of a special, unique and extraordinary character to Purchaser and that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the Exclusivity Rights by Sellers, Holdings or the Exclusivity Parties. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9(A), Sellers and Holdings, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Exclusivity Parties, expressly agree that Purchaser shall have the right, in the event of a breach of the obligations of Sellers, Holdings and the Exclusivity Parties set forth in this Section 3(J), to (i) seek damages against Sellers, Holdings and the Exclusivity Parties arising out of any breach of clause (C) of this Section 3(J), and (ii) seek injunctive and other equitable relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to prevent the breach, or the further breach, of any of the Exclusivity Rights;
          K. each Seller shall severally, but not jointly, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) from and against any and all Losses (as hereinafter defined) incurred by or asserted against a Purchaser Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from or arising out of or in any way related to a lien attaching to the assets transferred or liability being incurred by Purchaser for any so-called “bulk sales” state or local taxes required to be paid or collected by any Seller relating to periods prior to the applicable Closing Date, or the failure of a Seller to have given any notification that may have been required to have been given to, or to have obtained any clearance that may have been required to have been obtained from, any state or local taxing authorities in order to permit the transfer of any Property as herein contemplated;
          L. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Defeasance Loan” shall mean each of the loans described on Exhibit I attached hereto, but only with respect to that portion of the principal of such loans that are allocated to any of the Properties. Sellers and Purchaser shall work together to complete a defeasance of each Defeasance Loan (each a “Defeasance”) at the First Closing (as hereinafter defined) (and at any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) to the satisfaction of the applicable lender and the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as provided in Section 3(M) below, Sellers shall be responsible for coordinating each Defeasance and shall send each Defeasance notice in time to complete the First Closing on July 1, 2011 (subject to

15


 

extension as set forth below). Sellers shall engage, subject to Purchaser’s reasonable approval, any counsel necessary to prepare documents and deliver opinions to complete each Defeasance (and the defeasance of the other Properties which are part of the loan pools for the Defeasance Loans), including without limitation, counsel for the applicable lender, lender’s servicer and/or lender’s special servicer (such documents, the “Defeasance Documents”). Sellers shall keep Purchaser and its counsel reasonably apprised of the status of each Defeasance. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers’ Defeasance activities and shall sign such documents at or prior to the First Closing (and any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) as may be reasonably required to complete each Defeasance in accordance with the applicable loan documents for each Defeasance Loan (provided that Purchaser shall not be required to incur any liability in connection therewith) to the satisfaction of the applicable lender and the reasonable satisfaction of Sellers and Purchaser. In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to deliver such documents and the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid at the First Closing (and at any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) into escrow with the Title Insurer one (1) business day in advance of the First Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance will be consummated as provided herein), if required by the applicable lender or any other party facilitating a Defeasance, in order to complete each such Defeasance; provided, however, that if Purchaser’s lender, if any, shall not agree to fund the proceeds of its loan with Purchaser into escrow with the Title Insurer prior to the First Closing Date (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance will be consummated as provided herein), then Purchaser shall only be required to fund its equity into escrow with the Title Insurer one (1) business day in advance of the First Closing Date (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance will be consummated as provided herein) in order to facilitate each Defeasance, and provided further that no portion of the Purchase Price to be paid at the First Closing (and at any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) shall be disbursed prior to the First Closing (and any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) and provided further that if the First Closing (and any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) does not occur for any reason on or before 5:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the First Closing Date (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance will be consummated as provided herein), the Title Insurer shall immediately refund to Purchaser the portion of the Purchase Price so deposited with Title Insurer in connection with such Defeasance that failed to occur. In addition, Purchaser covenants that Purchaser’s lender’s funds shall be received by Escrowee no later than 9:30 a.m. (CST) on the First Closing Date (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance is consummated as provided herein) and unconditional disbursement authorization shall be provided by Purchaser and its lender to release the funds to purchase securities delivered to Escrowee no later than 10:00 a.m. (CST) on the First Closing Date (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance will be consummated as provided herein). In addition, Sellers shall be required to deliver into escrow with the Title Insurer such funds as are necessary to complete each Defeasance with respect to properties other than the Properties at least one (1) business day in advance of the First Closing Date (and any other Closing Date on which a Defeasance will be consummated as provided herein) to the extent the net proceeds available to Sellers at the First Closing (and at any other Closing involving a Defeasance as provided herein) will be insufficient to complete such Defeasance. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers will be committing to purchase the securities in reliance on Purchaser’s obligation to acquire the Properties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3(M) below, in the

16


 

event a Closing with respect to a Property that is the subject of a Defeasance does not occur on the First Closing Date through no fault of Sellers or Purchaser (which, for purposes hereof, shall include any lender of Purchaser), then such Closing will occur on the next business day that is permitted for such Defeasance to occur pursuant to the applicable loan documents for such Defeasance Loan. Sellers and Purchaser shall equally share the premium cost of the Defeasance being the amount equal to (i) the cost of purchasing the securities necessary to consummate the Defeasance as required by the loan documents evidencing and securing the Defeasance Loans less (ii) the then current principal balance of the Defeasance Loans (the “Defeasance Premium Costs”). Sellers and Purchaser shall equally share all other costs related to each Defeasance, including without limitation, all servicer’s, special servicer’s and lender’s costs and fees, the costs of creating the substitute borrower, any accounting reports or opinions, the costs of obtaining the Defeasance Documents and the costs and expenses of any defeasance coordinator or facilitator such as Commercial Defeasance (such amounts described in this sentence collectively, the “Defeasance Transaction Costs”); provided, however, that Sellers shall be solely responsible for the repayment of the then outstanding principal of the Defeasance Loans (and the other principal amounts allocated to the other properties which are part of loan pools for the Defeasance Loans), together with all interest, costs and other fees and expenses then due and payable under the Defeasance Loans (including, without limitation, such amounts allocated to the Massachusetts ROFR Properties [as hereinafter defined] and the other properties which are part of the loan pools for the Defeasance Loans) that are accrued and unpaid as of the applicable Closing Date; provided, further, that each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and expenses. The applicable Seller and Purchaser shall each receive a prorated amount of any Residual Cash Balance (as hereinafter defined) with respect to each Defeasance to the extent applicable to a Property purchased by Purchaser based on the securities purchased with respect to the applicable Properties relative to all securities purchased with respect to the Defeasance Loans of which such Properties form a part (including the principal balance attributable to the Massachusetts ROFR Properties and the other properties in the loan pools). As used herein, the term “Residual Cash Balance” shall be equal to the aggregate amount by which the redemption amount of the securities with respect to a Defeasance exceed the loan payments made with respect to the loan related to such Defeasance. In the event that any Seller receives all or any portion of a Residual Cash Balance, such Seller shall, within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser, Purchaser’s share of such Residual Cash Balance. The obligations of Sellers and Purchaser with respect to the Residual Cash Balance shall survive each Closing (including the Final Closing). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3(L) to the contrary, if Sellers have not obtained a waiver of the right of first refusal for The Glen or Hillcrest Properties on or before the First Closing Date, or reasonably determined that either a right of first refusal is not applicable to such Properties or the time period in which such right may be exercised has expired, and the Title Insurer is willing to insure over any title exception relating to such right of first refusal (either such Property being hereinafter referred to as a “Massachusetts ROFR Property”), then Purchaser shall not pay the Defeasance Premium Costs or Defeasance Transaction Costs at the First Closing Date solely to the extent that same related to such Massachusetts ROFR Property that fails to close at the First Closing; provided, however, that at such time as a Closing occurs on a Massachusetts ROFR Property, if at all, as provided in Section 8(a)(vi), then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the applicable Defeasance Premium Costs and Defeasance Transaction Costs related to such Massachusetts ROFR Property;

17


 

          M. notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall have the right, prior to October 1, 2011, to enter into an extension of the loan secured by the Property commonly known as The Woodlands located in Lockport, New York, on terms substantially consistent with the terms set forth in Schedule 3(M) attached hereto or on such other terms as Purchaser shall approve in writing in its sole discretion. If Sellers are successful in entering into an extension of such loan prior to October 1, 2011 on terms substantially consistent with the terms set forth in Schedule 3(M) or on such other terms as Purchaser shall approve in writing in its sole discretion, then such loan shall be deemed an “Existing Loan,” the lender under such loan shall be deemed an “Existing Lender” and Seller shall, not later than October 1, 2011, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the applicable lender so as to allow Purchaser or its designee to assume such loan. Sellers and Purchaser shall thereafter work toward a Loan Assumption with respect to such loan in accordance with the terms of Section 11 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Sellers in connection with obtaining any such extension shall be shared evenly by the parties; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred or payable to the extent of any request by Purchaser for additional loan proceeds in connection with such Loan Assumption. If Sellers are not successful in entering into an extension of such loan prior to October 1, 2011 on terms substantially consistent with the terms set forth in Schedule 3(M) or on such other terms as Purchaser shall approve in writing in its sole discretion, then Sellers and Purchaser shall work together to complete a Defeasance or repayment of such loan in accordance with the terms of Section 3(L) above if such repayment is a Defeasance, with a Closing to occur not later than December 1, 2011;
          N. with respect to each Property located in the State of Florida, the applicable Sellers shall send to the residents’ homeowners’ association the notice required by Section 723.071 (as hereinafter defined);
          O. subject to the Existing Loan Documents applicable to the Ground Lease Property, no Seller shall enter into any termination, modifications, amendments, extensions or renewals of the Ground Lease or assign, pledge, encumber or transfer any direct or indirect interest in the Ground Lease. Sellers shall pay, when due and payable, the rentals, additional rentals, and other charges required by, and payable under, the Ground Lease in accordance with the Ground Lease. Sellers shall perform and observe in all material respects all terms, covenants, and conditions that must be performed and observed by the ground lessee under the Ground Lease, and do everything reasonably necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired the applicable Seller’s rights under the Ground Lease. Sellers shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a copy of any default notice that any Seller receives from the ground lessor under the Ground Lease. Sellers promptly shall notify Purchaser after learning of the death of the ground lessor or the commencement of any bankruptcy affecting the ground lessor under the Ground Lease. Sellers promptly shall deliver to Purchaser any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications, and other documents that any Seller receives in connection with any such bankruptcy and any related proceedings;
          P. each Seller shall severally (but not jointly) through the Closing Date, fully comply with the requirements of all applicable WARN Laws (as hereinafter defined and as in effect from time to time), and no Seller shall directly or indirectly violate, incur any liability

18


 

under, or take any actions that may reasonably be expected to cause any Purchaser to incur any liability under any WARN Law;
          Q. the parties acknowledge that a portion of the Property commonly known as Lake Village located in Nokomis, Florida (such portion being referred to herein as the “Lake Village Option Parcel”) is subject to a certain Option Agreement dated as of June 30, 2008, by and between Hometown Lake Village L.P. and SDC Communities, Inc., as more particularly set forth therein (the “Lake Village Option Agreement”). Sellers agree that if Sellers sell and convey the Lake Village Option Parcel pursuant to the terms of the Lake Village Option Agreement prior to the applicable Closing for Lake Village, Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price at the applicable Closing in the full amount of the consideration received by Sellers in connection with the sale and conveyance of the Lake Village Option Parcel (net of Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such sale). At the Closing for the Property commonly known as Lake Village, Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of its rights and obligations in the Lake Village Option Agreement, including, without limitation any and all earnest money, to the extent same remains outstanding. Purchaser acknowledges that if Sellers sell and convey the Lake Village Option Parcel pursuant to the terms of the Lake Village Option Agreement prior to the applicable Closing for Lake Village, the Lake Village Option Parcel shall be excluded from the definition of Property with respect to the Lake Village Property;
          R. the parties acknowledge that a portion of the Property commonly known as Buena Vista located in Buena Vista, North Dakota (such portion being referred to herein as the “Buena Vista Option Parcel”) is subject to a certain Sale Agreement dated as of October 31, 2006 between the applicable Seller and Bullinger Enterprises L.L.L.P. and that certain Retention Pond License dated October 31, 2006 (as heretofore amended, the “Buena Vista License/Option Agreement”). Purchaser acknowledges that if Sellers sell and convey the Buena Vista Option Parcel pursuant to the terms of the Buena Vista Option/License Agreement prior to the applicable Closing for Buena Vista, the Buena Vista Option Parcel shall be excluded from the definition of Property with respect to the Buena Vista Property; and
          S. sellers shall continue to cooperate in connection with the prosecution of the Lawsuit (as hereinafter defined) in a good faith, commercially reasonable manner.
     4. STATUS OF TITLE TO PROPERTY
          A. State of Title. At the Closing for each Property, the applicable Seller shall convey to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee the entire fee simple estate in and to each such Property by recordable special warranty deed or such other form as shall have been mutually approved by the parties, or the entire ground lease estate granted under the Ground Lease by recordable quit claim deed and recordable assignment and assumption of the Ground Lease, in all such events, subject only to: (i) those covenants, conditions and restrictions of record which are not Unpermitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), (ii) rights of tenants under the Leases, as tenants only with no rights or options to purchase all or any portion of any Property, (iii) the lien of general real estate taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs and subsequent years, not yet due or payable, (iv) the Existing Loan Documents for Properties for which a Loan Assumption is contemplated, (v) any matter caused or created by or through Purchaser, and (vi)

19


 

all matters that are shown on the existing surveys of the Properties delivered by Sellers to Purchaser (the above enumerated exceptions being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions”).
          B. Preliminary Evidence of Title. Sellers have ordered the Title Commitments (as hereinafter defined) from the Title Insurer (as hereinafter defined). Purchaser shall order the Updated Surveys (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Properties contemplated to be purchased at the First Closing within two (2) business days after the Effective Date.
          (i) The title commitments (the “Title Commitments”) for ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policies (6-17-06) (the “Owner’s Title Insurance Policy”) proposing to insure Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee and committing to insure title to each Property in the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to each such Property, shall be issued through the Chicago, Illinois national office of First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Insurer”), and if available, irrevocable for at least twelve (12) months, together with copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitments (collectively, the “Title Documents”).
          (ii) Each Title Commitment shall have an effective date no earlier than May 15, 2011 and shall show fee simple title (or a valid ground lease estate as granted under the Ground Lease) to the applicable Property vested in the applicable Seller; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that the initial Title Commitment with respect to the Properties commonly known as Grand Blanc located in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and Holly Hills located in Holly, Michigan, will show the applicable Sellers’ mortgage estate in the applicable Property. Each Owner’s Title Insurance Policy to be issued to Purchaser (or its designee) at a Closing shall contain an extended coverage endorsement (if available in the state where the Property is located) over the so-called general or standard exceptions which are a part of the printed form of the policy without creating any additional exceptions to title, together with the following special endorsements to the extent available in the state where the applicable Property is located (subject to the Title Insurer’s requirement of receipt of an Updated Survey or Survey Affidavit to the extent Sellers have agreed to provide same): (1) an ALTA Form 3.1 zoning endorsement (provided Purchaser provides Title Issuer with a current zoning report for such Property) including coverage as to parking to the extent Purchaser obtains a New Survey or Seller is required to provide a Survey Affidavit pursuant to Subsection (iii) below; (2) an Owner’s Comprehensive (Restrictions, Encroachments, Minerals) endorsement; (3) a Same as Survey endorsement; and (4) a leasehold owner’s policy endorsement with respect to the ground lease estate granted under the Ground Lease.

20

or restore, or (b) results in Purchaser’s inability to obtain financing with respect to such Property (a “Major Casualty”), then Purchaser shall have the right to exclude such Property from the Acquired Assets by written notice delivered to Seller within 20 days after the date of the Major Casualty, whereupon the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price of such Property and the parties shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser. If Purchaser elects, in its sole discretion, to purchase such Property notwithstanding a Major Casualty or if a casualty occurs which is not a Major Casualty, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any related insurance deductible, and Sellers shall pay (or assign, if payment has not yet been made) to Purchaser all insurance proceeds paid (or payable) to the applicable Seller in connection with such Major Casualty or other casualty, as applicable, which have not been used to restore such Property or other Acquired Asset. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in connection with any damage to a Property as a result of a flood, which is not a Major Casualty and for which Seller does not have flood insurance, Sellers shall have the right to either pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the costs to repair such damage (as mutually agreed to by the parties) or terminate this Agreement with respect to such Property (in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price of such Property and the parties shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser), which election shall be made by written notice delivered to Purchaser within 20 days after the date of such casualty. If Seller elects to terminate in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall have the right to negate such termination and close on the Property affected by such flood by written notice delivered to Seller within 10 days after receipt of Seller’s termination notice, without compensation from Seller with respect to such flood damage.
          B. Condemnation. If, prior to a Closing for a Property, a condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened in writing against any portion of such Property, Sellers shall promptly give Purchaser written notice thereof. If such condemnation is a Material Event (as hereinafter defined), then Purchaser shall have the right to exclude such Property from the Acquired Assets, whereupon the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price of such Property and the parties shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser. If Purchaser elects, in its sole discretion, to purchase such Property notwithstanding the occurrence of a Material Event, then the applicable Seller shall pay to Purchaser all condemnation awards paid to such Seller in connection with such condemnation, and such Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in any condemnation awards to be paid to such Seller in connection with the condemnation. As used herein, a “Material Event” means a taking or condemnation which would materially impede access to the applicable Property, reduce available parking below that required by laws or any applicable agreements affecting the applicable Property, or result in condemnation award(s) reasonably estimated to exceed $500,000.00 for any one Property.

          (viii) With respect to any Property located in Florida, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is an unsolicited offer within the meaning of Section 723.071, and Purchaser acknowledges, represents and warrants to Sellers that Sellers did not solicit Purchaser’s offer to acquire the Properties.
          (ix) Purchaser has not engaged any brokers, finders or investment bankers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (x) As of the Effective Date and as of the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser does not intend to discontinue the use of such portions of the Properties as are currently being used as a mobile/manufactured home park from their use as a mobile/manufactured home park. For the Property located within the State of New York, as of the date of Purchaser’s initial offer to purchase such Property and as of the Effective Date, it is Purchaser’s intention to acquire such Property and continue its use as a manufactured housing community for not less than 60 months following the closing of said acquisition.
          (xi) There are no commissions or other fees payable by Purchaser to any person or entity in connection with the purchase and sale of all or any portion of the Acquired Assets which would survive Closing and be binding upon Sellers.
          (xii) Purchaser has not engaged any brokers, finders or investment bankers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and there are no commissions or other fees payable by Purchaser to any person or entity in connection with the purchase and sale of all or any portion of the Acquired Assets for which a claim could be made against Seller.
          C. (i) At each Closing, Sellers will deliver to Purchaser a certificate pursuant to which Sellers will reaffirm the representations and warranties contained in Section 7A and in Exhibit E with respect to the Acquired Assets that are the subject of each such Closing, as of the date of each such Closing, provided that such certificate may reflect any changes to any representations and warranties of Sellers which Sellers have become aware prior to Closing and as long as Sellers are not in breach of such representations or warranties at the time made (each a “Statement of Modification”). In the event the Statement of Modification indicates any changes to the foregoing representations and warranties and, to the extent that such representations and warranties were true as of the Effective Date and Sellers’ breach of a covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement does not give rise to the condition contained in the Statement of Modification, Sellers shall not be deemed in default hereunder. Any Statement of Modification must be delivered by Sellers to Purchaser no later than three (3) business days prior to the applicable Closing. Sellers agree to expend up to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (or such lesser amount as the parties shall reasonably agree is necessary) in order to cure or remedy the condition which gives rise to the Statement of Modification, to the extent such condition is susceptible to cure or remedy for such amount. If Sellers fail to cure or remedy the conditions set forth in the Statement of Modification on or before the applicable Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Section 7(C)(i), and such condition is susceptible to a remedy or cure by the payment of not more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), then Purchaser, at its option, may proceed to Closing and receive a credit

47


 

in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (or such lesser amount as the parties may reasonably agree shall be sufficient to cure or remedy such condition) or Purchaser may elect not to purchase the affected Property (and related Acquired Assets), whereupon the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price of the affected Property (and related Acquired Assets) and the parties shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser. Purchaser shall notify Seller of its election at least one (1) business day before the scheduled Closing Date. In the event that the Statement of Modifications indicates any changes to the foregoing representations and warranties and to the extent that such representations and warranties were true as of the Effective Date and Sellers’ breach of a covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement does not give rise to the condition contained in the Statement of Modification, and the condition is not susceptible to a cure or remedy with the payment of not more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), then, Purchaser, at its sole option, shall have the right to proceed to Closing, without any reduction in the Purchase Price or Purchaser may elect to not purchase the affected Property (and related Acquired Assets), whereupon the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price of the affected Property (and related Acquired Assets) and the parties shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Sellers cure or remedy the conditions which gives rise to the Statement of Modification prior to the applicable Closing, then the parties shall proceed to Closing with respect to the applicable Property in accordance with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          (ii) In the event the Statement of Modification indicates any changes to the foregoing representations and warranties, and such representations and warranties were not true as of the Effective Date or such change was the result of Sellers’ breach of a covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, and the Closing for the applicable Property has not yet occurred, Purchaser shall be entitled to any and all rights or remedies contained in this Agreement. In addition, Purchaser may elect to cause Sellers to expend up to Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) in order to cure or remedy the condition which gives rise to the breach of such representation or warranty. If Sellers fail to cure or remedy the condition which gives rise to the breach of such representation or warranty on or before the applicable Closing Date by expending up to Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00), then, Purchaser, at its option, may proceed to Closing and deduct from the Purchase Price an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (or such lesser amount as the parties shall reasonably agree is necessary to effectuate such cure) or Purchaser may elect not to purchase the affected Property (and related Acquired Assets), whereupon the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price of the affected Property (and related Acquired Assets) and the parties shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser.
          D. The foregoing warranties and representations of Sellers and Purchaser, together with Sellers’ warranties and representations set forth in Exhibit E (as modified by the Statement of Modification), shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Closing (including the Final Closing) and the delivery of all documents and the performance of any and all covenants and obligations in accordance with this Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Survival Period”). If a Closing occurs, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any liability or

48


 

obligation with respect to any such warranty or representation with respect to the applicable Property and related Acquired Assets that were the subject of such Closing unless, on or prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, the party seeking to assert liability shall have notified the other party in writing setting forth specifically the nature of such liability or obligation and upon such notice, the liability or obligation described in the notice shall continue until the date on which either (x) a court of competent jurisdiction has delivered a final non-appealable order resolving such dispute or (y) the parties have entered into a written settlement agreement with respect to all such claims. Except as provided in Section 7(N) below, neither the foregoing warranties and representations of Sellers set forth in Section 7(A) above and in Exhibit E nor the effect of such warranties and representation shall be affected by any investigation or verification made by or on behalf of Purchaser prior to the Closing.
          E. Each Seller shall, severally, but not jointly, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses incurred by or asserted against a Purchaser Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from or arising out of or in any way related to (i) subject to Section 7(N) hereof, any breach of Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 7(A) above and in Exhibit E, (ii) any breach by a Seller of any covenant to be performed or complied with by such Seller under this Agreement which by its terms survived the Closing, and (iii) the non-fulfillment of any obligation to be performed by any Seller after each Closing as set forth in this Agreement or in any document delivered at a Closing, including, without limitation, any post-Closing proration obligations. This indemnity shall survive each Closing (including the Final Closing) and delivery of the deeds or other transfer instruments and shall not be merged therein.
          F. Intentionally Deleted.
          G. Each Seller shall provide to Purchaser and its auditors (i) from and after the date hereof and following the Final Closing, access at all reasonable times to all financial and other information relating to the Acquired Assets owned by such Seller necessary for Purchaser and its auditors to prepare audited and pro-forma financial statements in conformity with Regulation S-X of the SEC or other materials required for any registration statement, report or other disclosure to be filed with the SEC or necessary to comply with any SEC rule or regulation, and (ii) at the Closing for each Property (or prior or subsequent thereto if required by Purchaser’s auditors) an executed representations letter in the form required by Purchaser’s auditors (to the extent same is reasonably acceptable to Sellers), as required by Generally Accepted Auditing Standards as promulgated by the Auditing Standards Division of the American Institute of Public Accountants, which representation is required to enable an independent public accountant to render an opinion on such financial statements; provided, however, that Purchaser shall pay for any actual costs incurred by each Seller in connection with its obligations under this Section 7(G). The provisions of this Section 7(G) shall survive each Closing (including the Final Closing) and delivery of the deeds or other transfer instruments and shall not be merged therein.
          H. If Purchaser is entitled to defense or indemnification under Sections 3(K), 5(C)(ii), 7(E), 12(B) or any other express provision in this Agreement or any document delivered by a Seller to Purchaser in connection with a Closing (each, an “Indemnification Claim”),

49


 

Purchaser shall provide written notice to Sellers within five (5) business days after Purchaser has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim (as hereinafter defined) is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim, but the failure to give such notice shall not release Sellers of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, Sellers shall assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at their sole cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for Sellers who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser except with respect to any Third Party Claim tendered by Sellers to its insurance company, in which event such insurance company may select counsel to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) Purchaser may participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and hire its own counsel (at Seller’s expense) for such purpose and (iii) in the event Sellers fail to timely undertake negotiation of any dispute or defend, contest or otherwise protect against any claim or suit with respect to a Third-Party Claim, Purchaser may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, engage counsel for such purpose, and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from Sellers, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement thereof. Sellers shall not, without Purchaser’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), resolve any dispute or settle or compromise any claim regarding Losses from a Third-Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment which would impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon Purchaser or which does not include an unconditional release by the claimant or the plaintiff of Purchaser from all liability in respect of any such Losses. For purposes of this Section 7(H), “Third-Party Claim” means any claim, liability or obligation of any kind, character or description, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, matured, conditional, asserted, vested or otherwise of any nature whatsoever, including the assertion of a right of offset, against Purchaser by any other person or entity.
          I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to Section 7(D) above, no claim by Purchaser for indemnification against Sellers for any matter arising after an applicable Closing pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (except with respect to Section 3(K), Section 5(C)(ii), the reproration obligations of Sellers set forth in Section 5(C)(i), the delivery to Purchaser of Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Residual Cash Balance pursuant to Section 3(L), and Section 16) shall be actionable or payable unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by Purchaser for which it otherwise would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and the Homes and Loans Agreement (as hereinafter defined and except with respect to Sellers’ repurchase obligation pursuant to Section 8 of the Homes and Loan Agreement) exceeds Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate (“Sellers’ Indemnification Deductible”), in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable and payable to Purchaser; provided, however, that Sellers’ Indemnification Deductible shall not apply to a breach of Sellers’ warranties and representations set forth in Sections 7(A)(vii), 7(A)(ix) or 7(A)(xvi) hereof or in Sections 4(g) or 4(h) of Exhibit E. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers’ aggregate indemnification liability to Purchaser for any matter arising after an applicable Closing pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (except with respect to Section 3(K),

50


 

Section 5(C)(ii), the reproration obligations of Sellers set forth in Section 5(C)(i), the delivery to Purchaser of Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Residual Cash Balance pursuant to Section 3(L), and Section 16) or pursuant to any provision of the Homes and Loans Agreement (except with respect to Sections 8 of the Homes and Loans Agreement) exceed the amount of Twenty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (“Sellers’ Indemnification Cap”) in the aggregate.
          J. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to Section 7(D) above (except with respect to Section 3(K), Section 5(C)(ii), the reproration obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 5(C)(i), Purchaser’s obligation related to the Defeasance Transaction Costs pursuant to Section 3(L) and the Loan Assumption costs pursuant to Section 11(A) and except with respect to Sections 4(E) [with respect to the “Repurchase Agreements”] and 5(E) of the Home and Loan Agreement), no claim by Sellers for a breach of a representation or warranty of Purchaser under this Agreement or a breach of representation or warranty by the “Purchaser” under the Home and Loan Agreement shall be actionable or payable unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by Sellers and the “Sellers” under the Homes and Loans Agreement as a result of such breach exceeds Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable and payable to Sellers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Agreement, together with the aggregate liability of the “Purchaser” under the Homes and Loans Agreement, for a breach of a representation or warranty of Purchaser under this Agreement or a breach of a representation and warranty of the “Purchaser” under the Home and Loan Agreement, exceed the amount of Twenty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (except with respect to Section 3(K), Section 5(C)(ii), the reproration obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 5(C)(i), Purchaser’s obligation related to the Defeasance Transaction Costs pursuant to Section 3(L) and the Loan Assumption costs pursuant to Section 11(A) and except with respect to Section 4(E) [with respect to the “Repurchase Agreements”] and Section 5(E) of the Home and Loan Agreement).
          K. Intentionally Deleted.
          L. Intentionally Deleted.
          M. As used in this Agreement or in any document delivered in connection with a Closing, the term “to Sellers’ knowledge” or “best of Sellers’ knowledge” or “Sellers’ actual knowledge” or any other reference to the knowledge of Seller shall mean and apply to the actual knowledge of Richard Cline, Jr., Patrick Zilis, Stephen Braun, Tim Strack (the Western Division President with responsibility for the Properties located in Idaho and Nevada), Jim Anderson (the Northern Division President with responsibility for the Properties located in Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania), Eric Zimmerman (the Southern Division President with responsibility for the Properties located in Florida) after having made due inquiry of the on-site property managers with respect to the Properties (collectively, the “Knowledge Individual”), and shall mean the actual (and not implied or constructive) knowledge of such Knowledge Individual, with a duty on such individual to conduct good faith and diligent investigation and inquiry. Similarly, any reference to any written notice, claim, litigation, filing or other correspondence or transmittal to Seller set forth herein shall be limited to refer to only those actually received by or known to the Knowledge Individual in the limited manner provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

51


 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any documents provided by Sellers or otherwise made available to Purchaser to the extent not created by Sellers have been delivered or made available, in each case, subject to any confidentiality or other restrictions imposed by the issuer of such reports and that such reports have been or will be delivered on an “AS-IS” basis, Purchaser shall have no right to rely upon same and Seller shall have no liability whatsoever for the contents thereof even if Seller knows same is no longer accurate.
          N. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the representations, warranties and certifications (collectively, the “Sellers’ Representations”) which are made by Sellers and set forth in this Agreement or in any of the documents or instruments required to be delivered by Sellers hereunder, there shall be no liability on the part of Sellers following a Closing for any breach of a Sellers’ Representation arising from any matter or circumstance of which Purchaser had actual knowledge as of the applicable Closing Date; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any matter disclosed in that certain letter and its enclosures dated May 2, 2011 from the Michigan Attorney General’s Office (the “AG Letter”) or the response letter and its enclosures dated May 8, 2011 from Michael Hatch of M.H. Financial Services, L.L.C. (the “Response Letter”) as it relates to any of the Acquired Assets and Sellers shall not be released from any liability hereunder for a breach of a representation or warranty or an indemnity hereunder based on the AG Letter or the Response Letter. For purposes of this Section 7(N), Purchaser shall be deemed to have “actual knowledge” of a matter or circumstance only if such matter or circumstance is (a) actually known by Marguerite Nader or Lance Beatch on or before the applicable Closing, such knowledge not to include implied or constructive knowledge but shall include a duty on such individuals to conduct good faith and reasonably diligent investigations and inquiries, (b) disclosed by a document that is posted on or before 11:59 p.m. (CST) on May 28, 2011 to the “Representation-Knowledge Folder” in the Data Room, (c) set forth in any Statement of Modifications delivered to Purchaser prior to the applicable Closing, (d) contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or (e) contained in the Disclosure Book; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any matter disclosed in the AG Letter or the Response Letter as it relates to any of the Acquired Assets and Sellers shall not be released from any liability hereunder for a breach of a representation or warranty or an indemnity hereunder based on the AG Letter or the Response Letter.
          O. Notwithstanding the warranties in the Deeds delivered by the applicable Seller, Purchaser agree that in no event shall Seller have any liability whatsoever under or in connection with such warranties or Deeds unless and until the grantee under such Deeds and such grantee’s successors and assigns and anyone otherwise claiming through such grantee shall have first diligently pursued and exhausted all other available remedies against the Title Insurer (unless such pursuit or exhaustion by Purchaser would impair or nullify Purchaser’s claims under its Owner’s Title Insurance Policies).
     8. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
          A. At the option of Purchaser, the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement are contingent and conditional upon any one (1) or more of the following, the failure of any of which shall, at the election of Purchaser (or Seller, if applicable) and after the return to

52


 

Purchaser of the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money, render this Agreement as to such affected Property null and void:
          (i) Subject to Section 11 hereof, as of the Closing for each Property that is the subject of a Loan Assumption, each of the Existing Lenders shall have approved the Loan Assumptions (as hereinafter defined) and all Loan Assumption Commitments shall have obtained.
          (ii) As of the Closing for each Property that is the subject of a Defeasance, all of the conditions precedent to such Defeasance shall have been satisfied.
          (iii) The Title Insurer shall have issued to Purchaser the Owner’s Title Insurance Policies (or marked-up commitments therefor) insuring fee simple title (or valid ground lease estate granted pursuant to the Ground Lease (except as provided in Section 16) to each Property in Purchaser (or Purchaser’s designee, if applicable) for the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to each such Property and not subject to any Unpermitted Exception applicable to each such Property, and otherwise in the form and condition required by this Agreement, including, without limitation, containing all endorsements required pursuant to Sections 4(B)(i) and 4(C).
          (iv) Purchaser shall have received a consent and estoppel executed by the ground lessor under the Ground Lease in the form of Exhibit P attached to this Agreement (or, if different, such other form as ground lessor is obligated to provide pursuant to the Ground Lease), with all blanks filled in and all changes thereto acceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion and which consent and estoppel shall be dated not more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date and shall not disclose any uncured defaults under the Ground Lease or claims by the ground lessor against the applicable Seller, or any information which is inconsistent in any material way with the terms of the Ground Lease and the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Section 7(A).
          (v) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that Stop—N-Go Stores, Inc. (or its successor-in-interest) have a right of first refusal (the “ROFR”) to purchase the Property commonly known as Meadow Park located in Fargo, North Dakota (“Meadow Park”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Lease dated May 1, 1980, by and between Meadow Park Partnership, as lessor, and Stop-N-Go Stores, Inc., a lessee, as amended by Amended Lease dated May 4, 1986, by and between Pierce, Inc., as landlord, and S-N-Go, Inc. d/b/a Stop-N-Go Stores (as heretofore amended, the “Meadow Park Lease”). It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to acquire Meadow Park and the related Acquired Assets that Sellers obtain and deliver to Purchaser on or before the applicable Closing an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of the ROFR for the sale of Meadow Park pursuant to this Agreement (or reasonable evidence that such tenant failed to exercise its ROFR as required by the Meadow Park Lease which may be in the form of an affidavit from the applicable Seller) on or before the applicable Closing Date from the current holder thereof in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser or the Title Insurer.

53


 

          (vi) Promptly after the Effective Date, Sellers shall notify the homeowner’s associations (each an “HOA”) with respect to The Glen and Hillcrest (to the extent such HOA exists and Seller has received due notice thereof, as same may be required by applicable law), that each such Property is under contract and shall otherwise comply with all notice requirements under the laws of the State of Massachusetts. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close with respect to The Glen and Hillcrest, as applicable, that Sellers provide evidence sufficient to allow the Title Insurer to delete any exception on the Title Commitment relative to the HOA’s right of refusal (the “ROFR Clearance”). The applicable Closing with respect to any such Property shall occur, if at all, upon the later of (i) the First Closing Date and (ii) the date that is five (5) business days after the date of the ROFR Clearance. In the event an HOA duly exercises its option to purchase an applicable Property, Sellers shall immediately provide Purchaser with a copy of such notice and the applicable Property shall temporarily be excluded from the Acquired Assets, and the Purchase Price shall be temporarily reduced by the allocated Purchase Price for such excluded Property and Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Sellers agree that in the event that the HOA fails to enter into, or once entered into, the purchase and sale agreement between the applicable HOA and the applicable Seller shall be terminated prior to the consummation of the transaction contemplated thereby, then Sellers shall deliver notice of such termination to Purchaser (including, if available, a copy of any notices evidencing or acknowledging such termination or an explanation from Sellers indicating the basis upon which such agreement was terminated) in which event this Agreement shall automatically become re-instated with respect to the purchase of the applicable Property and the Closing with respect thereto shall occur upon the later of (i) the First Closing Date and (ii) the date that is five (5) business days after Seller’s notice to Purchaser pursuant to this sentence.
     9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
          A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as Purchaser is not then in default in the timely delivery of consideration as required under the terms of this Agreement, if any Seller defaults hereunder or fails to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and fails to cure such default within five (5) business days after written notice specifying such default, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option, as Purchaser’s SOLE and EXCLUSIVE remedy (whether at law or in equity, all other remedies being hereby expressly waived), shall be to either (i) sue for specific performance of this Agreement in the event that the Closing is not consummated under circumstances where all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8 have been satisfied or waived and Purchaser is prepared to close, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case (a) this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such rights and obligations expressly survive a termination of this Agreement or expressly survive a prior Closing that occurred under the terms of this Agreement, (b) the remaining unapplied Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, (c) if specific performance is not available as a remedy because of the intentional or fraudulent acts of Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to sue and recover all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser or any of its affiliates in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s inspections and investigations of the Acquired Assets, the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement, the costs incurred by Purchaser or any of its affiliates in

54


 

connection with the issuance of the Shares, the costs incurred by Purchaser or any of its affiliates in connection with acquiring any debt or equity capital to pay for the purchase of the Acquired Assets including, without limitation, any costs incurred in connection with a follow-on offering, costs of any third party reports including any appraisals, attorneys’ fees, and any costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser or any of its affiliates in connection with financing the acquisition of all or a portion of the Acquired Assets, including, without limitation, any nonrefundable loan commitment fees, good faith deposits and rate lock fees and any lenders’ attorney’s fees, in full settlement of all claims against Seller, such amount not to exceed Seller’s Indemnification Cap, in the aggregate, inclusive of legal fees. In no event shall Seller be liable for any actual, special, punitive, speculative or consequential damages if any Closing does not occur. To the fullest extent permitted by law, an election by Purchaser to pursue remedies under clause (i) above shall not prohibit Purchaser from later pursuing remedies under clause (ii) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9(A), Purchaser shall have all of the remedies available to it set forth in Sections 3(J) and 7(C)(ii) of this Agreement to the full extent provided therein. For the purposes of this Section 9(A) the term “affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Purchaser, including without limitation ELS.
          B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Closing does not occur solely as a result of a default by Purchaser hereunder which Purchaser fails to cure within five (5) business days after written notice specifying such default (provided that Purchaser shall not have a cure right with respect to a default by Purchaser of its obligations set forth in Section 3(L) hereof) (a “Purchaser Default”), the remaining unapplied Earnest Money shall be forfeited to Sellers as liquidated damages, at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such rights and obligations expressly survive a termination of this Agreement or expressly survive a prior Closing that occurred under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that upon a Purchaser Default (i) in addition to receiving the remaining unapplied Earnest Money as provided above, Sellers shall be entitled to receive from Purchaser the Defeasance Transaction Costs actually incurred by Sellers, and (ii) in addition to receiving the remaining unapplied Earnest Money as provided above, Sellers shall be entitled to receive from Purchaser all out of pockets costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the applicable Sellers in connection with the Loan Assumption regardless of whether or not same is consummated. The foregoing remedies shall be Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy against Purchaser at law or in equity. SELLERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (I) THE REMAINING EARNEST MONEY PLUS THE DEFEASANCE TRANSACTION COSTS AND THE LOAN ASSUMPTION COSTS INCURRED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLERS (AS APPLICABLE) ARE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEAR A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED AND COSTS THAT WOULD BE INCURRED BY SELLERS AS A RESULT OF HAVING SUBJECTED THE ACQUIRED ASSETS TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FAILURE OF A CLOSING TO OCCUR DUE TO A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; (II) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLERS AS A RESULT OF SUCH SUBJECTION AND FAILURE TO CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (III) PURCHASER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE REMAINING

55


 

EARNEST MONEY, THE DEFEASANCE TRANSACTION COSTS AND THE LOAN ASSUMPTION COSTS INCURRED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLERS (AS APPLICABLE) IN THE EVENT A CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR DUE TO A DEFAULT OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; AND (IV) THE REMAINING EARNEST MONEY, THE DEFEASANCE TRANSACTION COSTS AND THE LOAN ASSUMPTION COSTS INCURRED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLERS (AS APPLICABLE) SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PAYMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, SELLERS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ALL OTHER CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES OR RELIEF AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.

          K. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Within five (5) days after its receipt of a Notice, ELS shall have the right, at its election, to provide Holdings with a written non-binding proposal to acquire the property(ies) which are the subject of the Notice at the proposed price from Holdings or to provide an offer of a price to acquire such property(ies) from Holdings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall have no obligation to provide a Notice and Purchaser shall have no right of first offer or first refusal.
     11. EXISTING LOANS.
          A. It is Purchaser’s and Sellers’ intent that Purchaser shall (x) assume the applicable Seller’s obligations as borrower under each Existing Loan first arising from and after the date of such assumption, and (y) take an assignment of such Seller’s obligations as borrower under the Existing Loan Documents first arising from and after the date of such assignment

59


 

(collectively, the “Loan Assumption”). Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of each Loan Assumption including, without limitation, all loan assumption fees, lender review fees, servicer fees and the legal fees and expenses of the Existing Lenders’ counsel, if any, as well as any enforceability or other legal opinions required by the Existing Lender (excluding only authority opinions for the existing borrower and guarantors) (collectively, “Loan Assumption Fees”), whether or not Loan Assumption Commitments shall be issued or consummated. Purchaser shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Sellers and Holdings harmless for any Loan Assumption Fees which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement relative to the Property to which such Loan Assumption Fees pertain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties shall pay its own legal fees with respect to a Loan Assumption.
          B. Within five (5) business days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers shall take the steps necessary to request that each Existing Lender allow Purchaser or its designee to assume the applicable Existing Loans. Purchaser shall exercise good faith commercially reasonable efforts, in a timely manner, to satisfy the Existing Lenders’ requests for information regarding Purchaser, and Seller shall exercise good faith commercially reasonable efforts, in a timely manner, to obtain from the holder of each of the Existing Loans (the “Existing Lenders”), its formal written consent to the Loan Assumptions on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents with such modifications thereto as Purchaser shall reasonably request (but excluding any changes to the economic terms of the Existing Loans) (the “Loan Assumption Commitments”) on or before the date that is two hundred forty (240) days after the Effective Date (the “Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Existing Lender requires Purchaser to provide a replacement non-recourse careveout guaranty as a condition precedent to granting its consent to a Loan Assumption, then Purchaser shall provide an affiliate as a replacement non-recourse carveout guarantor.
          C. The Closing with respect to each Property that is subject to a Loan Assumption shall occur upon the later of (x) the First Closing Date and (y) the date that is twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of the applicable Loan Assumption Commitment. If the Loan Assumption Commitment with respect to any Loan Assumption is not obtained on or before the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date, then the Properties that are the subject of any such Loan Assumption shall be excluded from the Acquired Assets, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price for such excluded Properties and Sellers and Purchaser shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Sellers or Purchaser may elect to continue pursuing such Loan Assumption by delivering written notice of such election to the other party on or before the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date (the “Extension Election”), in which event Sellers and Purchaser shall continue to pursue such Loan Assumption in accordance with the terms of this Section 11. Either Sellers or Purchaser (such party, the “Electing Party”) may, commencing ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (“Litigation Exercise Period”), elect by written notice of such election to the other party to have Sellers, at the Electing Party’s sole cost and expense, pursue a legal or equitable action against the applicable Existing Lender to cause such Existing Lender to grant its consent to such Loan Assumption. Upon any such election by the Electing Party, such Electing Party shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to diligently pursue such action against the applicable Existing Lender, provided that (i) the counsel for the Electing Party who shall pursue such action shall be

60


 

reasonably satisfactory to the other party, and (ii) the non-Electing Party may, in its sole discretion, participate in such action and engage its own counsel (subject to the Electing Party’s reasonable approval) for such purpose. With respect to a Property for which either party has made an Extension Election, in the event the applicable Closing has not occurred for such Property for which a Closing is outstanding pursuant to this Section 11(C) as of the date that is three hundred sixty (360) days after Effective Date, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement relative to such Property and the related Acquired Assets, in which event Sellers and Purchaser shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser.
          D. Intentionally Deleted.
          E. Intentionally Deleted.
          F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Purchaser assigns or transfers its rights under this Agreement with respect to the Property commonly known as Ferrand Estates located in Wyoming, Michigan and the related Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 10(B) hereof (any such transferee or assignee being referred to herein as a “Transferee”), Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers prompt written notice thereof (the “Transfer Notice”). Any such transfer must include the right and obligation of Purchaser to nullify such transfer unless the Loan Assumption applicable to Ferrand Estates is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Section 11(F). Upon receipt of the Transfer Notice, Sellers shall, until the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date, take the steps reasonably necessary to request that the applicable Existing Lender allow the Transferee to assume the applicable Existing Loan. Seller shall exercise good faith commercially reasonable efforts, in a timely manner, to attempt to obtain from the applicable Existing Lender its formal written consent to the Loan Assumption in accordance with the terms of this Section 11; provided, however that if a Loan Assumption with such Transferee is not completed on or before the date which is 120 days after the Effective Date, then Purchaser shall be obligated to apply for such Loan Assumption on its own behalf within 30 days after expiration of such 120 day period in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.
          G. Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (“NML”) is the Existing Lender with respect to an Existing Loan (the “NML Loan”) that is secured by the Properties commonly known as Beacon Terrace located in Lakeland, Florida, Mountain View Nevada located in Henderson, Nevada and Village Green located in Vero Beach, Florida (the “NML Loan Included Properties”), as well as by three (3) other properties owned by the applicable Seller (the “NML Loan Excluded Properties”) and that will be retained by the applicable Seller after Closing. Sellers and Purchaser further acknowledge and agree that it is their intention to obtain a Loan Assumption Commitment from NML (the “NML Loan Assumption Commitment”) that includes an agreement by NML to the following: (i) the NML Loan will be split into two separate and distinct loans with two or more separate and independent sets of loan documents (i.e., not cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized with the other set of properties but cross-defaulted as to the 3 Properties being purchased by Purchaser or the 3 properties being retained by Sellers) on terms consistent with the Existing Loan Documents for the NML Loan (the “NML Loan Documents”) (with such changes thereto as are reasonably necessary or that the parties shall otherwise reasonably request), (ii) Purchaser

61


 

(or its designee) shall be the borrower under a loan secured only by the NML Loan Included Properties with an affiliate of Purchaser as the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the environmental indemnitor under such loan, (iii) the applicable Seller shall be the borrower under a loan secured only by the NML Loan Excluded Properties with HTA as the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the environmental indemnitor under such loan, (iv) the outstanding principal balance of the NML Loan as of the applicable Closing Date will be allocated between the two loans based on the allocated loan amounts for the properties set forth on Exhibit H and (v) in no event shall Purchaser be required to assume any obligations or liabilities under the NML Loan Documents except to the extent that such obligations and liabilities first arise from and after the applicable Closing Date solely with respect to the NML Loan Included Properties. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(C) above to the contrary (which shall not apply to the Loan Assumption with respect to the NML Loan and the NML Loan Included Properties), the Closing with respect to the NML Loan Included Properties shall occur upon the later of (x) the First Closing Date and (y) the date that is twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of the NML Loan Assumption Commitment. If the NML Loan Assumption Commitment is not obtained on or before the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date, then the NML Loan Included Properties shall be excluded from the Acquired Assets, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price for the NML Loan Included Properties and Sellers and Purchaser shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Sellers or Purchaser may elect to continue pursuing the NML Loan Assumption by delivering written notice of such election to the other party on or before the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date, in which event Sellers and Purchaser shall continue to pursue the NML Loan Assumption in accordance with the terms of this Section 11 and if the NML Loan Assumption Commitment is not obtained within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Loan Assumption Commitment Outside Date, then the NML Loan Included Properties (unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers) shall be excluded from the Acquired Assets, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price for the NML Loan Included Properties and Sellers and Purchaser shall cause Escrowee to return the allocable portion of the remaining Earnest Money to Purchaser.
     12. SECTION 1031 EXCHANGES
          A. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in accordance with the terms set forth herein, either party (the “Exchanging Party”) shall be entitled, at its option, to structure the transfer of one or more Properties to Purchaser as part of a non-simultaneous tax-deferred “like-kind” exchange (including without limitation a “reverse exchange”) under Section 1031 of the Code (a “Like-Kind Exchange”) with respect to the Exchanging Party involving, in whole or part, real property other than the Properties.
          B. If the Exchanging Party desires to effectuate a tax-deferred exchange as aforesaid, the Exchanging Party shall so notify the other party (the “Cooperating Party”) no later than ten (10) days prior to the applicable Closing Date and shall at that time present to the Cooperating Party a written “Like-Kind Exchange Agreement” in form reasonably acceptable to both parties and which both parties shall execute. The Cooperating Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Exchanging Party to assist the Exchanging Party in accomplishing a Like-Kind Exchange; provided, however, that the Cooperating Party shall incur no extra expense, no

62


 

delays and no extra risks, and the Like-Kind Exchange Agreement shall contain such indemnities and other provisions as will reasonably insulate the Cooperating Party from liability in connection with the Like-Kind Exchange. The Cooperating Party makes no representations or warranties to the Exchanging Party concerning the tax consequences of the Exchanging Party’s actions in this regard. Apart from the obligation to sign the Like-Kind Exchange Agreement and convey or acquire (as the case may be) the Properties as provided herein, the Cooperating Party shall have no obligation or liability in connection with the Like-Kind Exchange and the Exchanging Party shall indemnify and hold the Cooperating Party harmless from any damages, liability and claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Cooperating Party, in connection therewith. The parties hereby agree that the Cooperating Party shall not take title to any real estate other than the Properties (or any individual Property thereof). The indemnity in this Section 12(B) shall survive each Closing (including the Final Closing) and delivery of the deeds or other transfer instruments and shall not be merged therein.
     13. FLORIDA PROVISIONS. The following provisions shall apply to each Property located in the State of Florida:
          A. Radon. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.

Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.
          B. Energy Efficiency Rating Disclosure. In accordance with the provisions of Section 553.996, Florida Statutes, Purchaser is advised that Purchaser may have the energy efficiency rating of the Acquired remises determined.

     14. CONDITION OF ACQUIRED ASSETS.
          A. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLERS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES WITH SELLERS THAT PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE ACQUIRED ASSETS IN THEIR “AS-IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION “WITH ALL FAULTS” AS OF THE CLOSING DATE AND SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR GUARANTEES AS TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE FROM OR ON BEHALF OF SELLERS. SELLERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, OR THE OPERATION THEREOF, FURNISHED BY ANY AGENT, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER FURTHER

63


 

ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PURCHASER IS A SOPHISTICATED AND EXPERIENCED PURCHASER OF PROPERTIES SUCH AS THE ACQUIRED ASSETS AND HAS BEEN DULY REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEGOTIATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Any initially capitalized term that is not otherwise defined in this Section 15 shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Homes and Loans Purchase Agreement. Where this Agreement is terminated as to any Acquired Assets or where the Closing with respect to such Acquired Assets shall not occur, then the Homes and Loans Purchase Agreement shall automatically be terminated only as to the Inventory Homes and Manufactured Home Loans that are related to such Acquired Assets. It is understood and agreed by the parties that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Homes and Loans Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not conditioned upon the Closings of all of the Acquired Assets occurring simultaneously, but that each Closing under this Agreement shall close simultaneously with its counterpart Closing under the Homes and Loan Purchase Agreement. A default by either party under the Homes and Loans Purchase Agreement which is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods shall be deemed a default by such party under this Agreement, and the parties shall have the rights and remedies available to each such party under this Agreement upon such default. To the extent of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Homes and Loans Purchase Agreement, this Agreement shall, in every instance, control.
     16. GRAND BLANC AND HOLLY HILLS FORECLOSURE.
          A. Hometown Communities Limited Partnership (“HCLP”), MH Financial Services, L.L.C. and Hometown America Management, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Michigan Loan Sellers”) have filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Oakland County, Michigan, Judge Edward Sosnick presiding (the “Court”), case no. 10-115549-CH (the “Lawsuit”), against Deer Meadows, SDM, LLC f/k/a Grand Blanc SDM, LLC, Holly Hills SDM, LLC, Gideon Financial, LLC, Cardanel Leasing, LLC, and Stella Del Mar, LLC. (collectively, the “Michigan Borrowers”) and Livingston County Concrete, Inc. (“Livingston” and together with the Michigan Borrowers, the “Michigan Defendants”) to, inter alia, foreclose (i) that certain [Mortgage] dated June 5, 2008 made by Holly Hills SDM, LLC (“Holly Hills Mortgagor”) for the benefit of HCLP and recorded as document number 127357 on June 30, 2008 (the “Holly Hills Mortgage”), and (ii) that certain [Mortgage] dated June 5, 2008 made by Deer Meadows, SDM, LLC f/k/a Grand Blanc SDM, LLC (“Grand Blanc Mortgagor”) for the benefit of HCLP and recorded as

64


 

document number 200808120058787 on August 12, 2008 (the “Grand Blanc Mortgage”, and together with the Holly Hills Mortgage, the “Michigan Mortgages”). The Michigan Mortgages have been recorded against two manufactured housing communities, one located at 8225 Embury Road in the City of Grand Blanc located in Genesee County, Michigan and known as Deer Meadows MHC (the “Grand Blanc Property”), and the other located at 16181 Lancaster Way in the City of Holly located in Holly Township, Michigan and known as Holly Hills MHC (the “Holly Hills Property” and together with the Grand Blanc Property, collectively, the “Michigan Properties”). The Michigan Mortgages secure a loan (the “Michigan Loan”) made by the applicable Michigan Loan Sellers to the applicable Michigan Borrower on or about June 5, 2008 in the original principal amount of $12,500,000 which was subsequently increased to $12,693,806.43 as evidenced and secured by, inter alia, those document listed on Exhibit V hereto (hereinafter, the “Michigan Loan Documents”).
          B. At the First Closing, the Michigan Loan Sellers will sell and assign to Purchaser or its designee all of their right, title and interest in and to (i) the Michigan Loan Documents, and (ii) the Michigan Lawsuit. In connection therewith, the Michigan Loan Sellers will execute and deliver such assignments, allonges and other documents of conveyance and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser (and reasonably acceptable to the Michigan Loan Sellers) to evidence such sale and assignment, including, without limitation, filing a motion with the Court to substitute Purchaser or its designee as the party plaintiff in the Lawsuit. The aggregate purchase price allocable to the assignment to Purchaser or its designee of the Michigan Loan Document and the Lawsuit shall be the agreed upon Purchase Price allocation to the Holly Hills Property (the “Holly Hills Purchase Price”) and to the Grand Blanc Property shall be the “Grand Blanc Purchase Price.” The Michigan Loan Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses, including transfer taxes, recording fees and title insurance premiums, and court costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Michigan Loans.
          C. From and after the First Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause Dykema Gossett PLLC (“Dykema”), at the sole cost and expense of the Michigan Loan Sellers who agree to cooperate with Purchaser and Dykema, to file an appearance on behalf of and to represent the Purchaser or its designee as the plaintiff in the Lawsuit. In the event that Dykema has or shall develop a conflict of interest with the Purchaser or its designee that shall prevent it from representing the Purchaser or its designee (and Purchaser and Seller shall not agree to waive such conflict, in their reasonable business judgment), then the Michigan Loan Sellers, at their sole cost and expense, shall retain substitute counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser or its designee to represent the Purchaser or its designee in the Lawsuit. The Michigan Loan Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses required to (i) prosecute the Lawsuit through judgment, including all court costs and expenses and (ii) conduct a foreclosure sale of the Michigan Properties. From and after the First Closing Date, the Purchaser or its designee may collect and retain all rent and other proceeds derived from the Michigan Properties and all businesses conducted thereon (including any casualty proceeds or condemnation awards) and all payments made by the Borrowers under the Michigan Loan.
          D. From and after the substitution of the Purchaser or its designee as the plaintiff in the Lawsuit, Purchaser and the Michigan Loan Sellers, on behalf of Purchaser, shall instruct Dykema to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to occur, as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter, (i) the entry of a judgment of foreclosure by the Court in favor

65


 

of the Purchaser or its designee and against the Defendants (the “Foreclosure Judgment”); and (ii) the judicial or other sale of the Michigan Properties pursuant to the Foreclosure Judgment (the “Foreclosure Sale”). In the event that the Foreclosure Judgment is entered by the Court in an amount that is less than the Holly Hills Purchase Price and the Grand Blanc Purchase Price, in the aggregate, then the Michigan Loan Sellers shall promptly thereafter (but in all events prior to the Foreclosure Sale) purchase the Foreclosure Judgment from the Purchaser or its designee for the aggregate amount of the Holly Hills Purchase Price and the Grand Blanc Purchase Price. At the Foreclosure Sale, the Purchaser or its designee may, in their sole discretion but subject to applicable Michigan law, credit bid all or a portion of the amount of the Foreclosure Judgment; provided, however, that in all events the Purchaser or its designee must bid at least the amount of (i) the Holly Hills Purchase Price in connection with the sale of the Holly Hills Property, and (ii) the Grand Blanc Purchase Price in connection with the sale of the Grand Blanc Property. In the event that the Purchaser or its designee is the high bidder at the Foreclosure Sale of one or both of the Michigan Properties, the Purchaser or its designee shall acquire a sheriff’s deed subject to borrower’s rights of redemption to one or both of the Michigan Properties, as applicable. In the event that the Purchaser or its designee is not the high bidder at the foreclosure sale of one or both of the Michigan Properties, then the Purchaser or its designee shall collect and retain all proceeds of the sale resulting from the high bid of one or both of the Michigan Properties, as applicable. In the event that the Borrowers redeem either of the Michigan Mortgages pursuant to and in conformity with the laws of the State of Michigan, the Purchaser or its designee may retain all proceeds resulting from such redemption or redemptions. Purchaser retains the right to conduct a Like Kind Exchange in connection with any purchase of the Michigan Properties pursuant to this Section 16.
          E. For purposes of this Section 16, “Clean Title” with respect to the Properties shall mean marketable fee simple title to either Michigan Property free and clear of (i) all exceptions to title other than Permitted Exceptions (and Sellers shall cause Forest Estates FSPE LLC’s interest in that certain Memorandum of Purchase Option and Negative Pledge Agreement dated as of June 5, 2008 to be assigned to Purchaser) and (ii) all statutory, judicial and equitable rights of redemption and reinstatement.
          F. In the event that (i) Purchaser or its designee does not acquire Clean Title to either Michigan Property on or before December 31, 2012 or (ii) the Michigan Loan Sellers notify Purchaser that it has elected to repurchase either or both of the Michigan Properties on or before December 31, 2012, then Purchaser or its designee shall sell and assign the Michigan Loan Documents, the Lawsuit and the Property, as applicable, to the Michigan Loan Sellers for (y) with respect to the Holly Hills Property, the Holly Hills Purchase Price, and (z) with respect to the Grand Blanc Property, the Grand Blanc Purchase Price, in each case with a credit for any casualty proceeds that were received by the owner of such Michigan Property and not applied towards reconstruction costs or condemnation awards. As a condition to such transfer, the Michigan Loan Documents shall not have been modified or encumbered in any manner since their assignment to Purchaser and during the period during which Purchaser or its designee was the owner of the Michigan Loan Documents (except as a result of a foreclosure judgment), each such Purchaser or its designee shall be bound by the same covenants relative to such Michigan Property as are contained in Section 3 hereof relative to Seller.

66


 

          G. The Michigan Loan Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses required to (i) conclude the Lawsuit, including all court costs and expenses, (ii) conduct a foreclosure sale of the Michigan Loan Properties, and (iii) convey the Michigan Loan Documents to the Purchaser or its designee, and (iv) re-convey the Michigan Loan Documents and/or the Michigan Properties to the Michigan Loan Sellers.

4. Black-Out Period.
     4.1 Following the filing of the a Selling Stockholder Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Section 2(a) or, if necessary, Section 2(b) hereof (and the filings with any state securities commissions), the Company may direct the Holder to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable, including the following events: (i) an underwritten primary offering by the Company where the Company is advised by the underwriters for such offering that sale of Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the primary offering, or (ii) pending negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a transaction or the occurrence of an event (x) that would require additional disclosure of material information by the Company in the Registration Statement (or such filings), (y) as to which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving confidentiality or (z) which renders the Company unable to comply with SEC requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable.
     4.2 In the case of an event which causes the Company to suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (a “Suspension Event”), the Company may give notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Holder to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares so that the Company may correct or update the Registration Statement (or such filings); provided, however, that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing (a “Suspension Period”). The Holder agrees that it will not effect any sales of the

Q-7


 

Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company. If so directed by the Company, the Holder will deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares held by them at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and the effectiveness of any required amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement.
     4.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof to the contrary: (i) no Holder shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof for a period of time in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days; and (ii) no Suspension Notice may be given more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Moreover, notwithstanding Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 4, the Company agrees it shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when the Holders shall have received the End of Suspension Notice and copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.
     4.4 During any Suspension Period or at any time the Company is in default of its obligations to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Holder may notify the Company in writing (a “Sales Notice”) that it desires to sell a specified number of its Registrable Securities (each a “Covered Security” and, together, the “Covered Securities”). If the Company fails within 30 days following receipt of such Sales Notice to deliver the End of Suspension Notice or register the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof, as applicable, the Company shall begin to accrue on the day after such 30th day a cash payment amount equal to the product of: (i) the 30-day U.S. Treasury rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the 30th day after the Company’s receipt of the Sales Notice (the “Default Date”), or if such date is not a trading day, the most recent trading day immediately preceding such date; (ii) the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock at the close of trading on the NYSE on the Default Date, or if such date is not a trading day, the most recent trading day immediately preceding such date; and (iii) the specified number of Covered Securities as set forth in the Sales Notice. This cash payment amount shall accrue, on a daily non-compounding basis until but excluding the day the Company delivers an End of Suspension Notice or complies with Section 2 hereof, as applicable (the “Cure Date”). The cash payment amount shall be payable two (2) business days after the Cure Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Sales Notice may be given in respect of Registrable Securities that represent shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with a redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock unless and until such shares of common stock have been issued in satisfaction of a redemption request by the Holder in lieu of a cash redemption price. The accrual of the cash payment amount under this Section 4(d) shall be the Holder’s sole remedy for the Company’s failure to file a Selling Stockholder Prospectus Supplement or a New Registration Statement, as applicable, pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement.

5. Indemnification.
     5.1 The Company will indemnify each Holder, each such Holder’s officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus relating to such Holder’s Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided however, that the Company will not indemnify and will not be liable to any Holder in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in conformity with and in reliance upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or by an underwriter for inclusion therein.
     5.2 Each Holder will indemnify the Company, each of its trustees and each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement or prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion therein.
     5.3 Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. However, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel, which shall be chosen by the Indemnifying Party and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses in connection with such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of such action within a reasonable period of time, or (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by its counsel that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the

Q-9


 

Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
     5.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Section 5, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that fails to take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5(d). For purposes of this Section 5(d), each person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Holder and each trust manager of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
     5.5 No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section, 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     5.6 In no event shall any Holder be liable for any claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses pursuant to this Section 5 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder for the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration.
6. Miscellaneous.
     6.1 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of the Company and Holders holding at least 51% of the total then outstanding (i) Registrable Securities and (ii) Series B Preferred Stock not theretofore exchanged for Common Stock, voting as one class for the purposes hereof.

3. Covenants of Sellers’ Guarantor.
     3.1 Sellers’ Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser and its affiliates that take title to the Acquired Assets and the successors and assigns of MHC Operating Limited Partnership by merger, consolidation or operation of law, the payment and prompt performance of the post-Closing indemnification, payment and performance obligations of the Sellers under the Park Agreement and the Home and Loan Agreement (such obligations, collectively, the “Sellers’ Guaranteed Obligations”) when the same shall become due or shall be required to be performed under the Park Agreement or the Home and Loan Agreement, as applicable.

     3.5 The agreement of Sellers’ Guarantor to guarantee, as set forth in this Section 3 of this Agreement, constitutes an absolute, present, primary, continuing, irrevocable, unlimited and unconditional agreement of payment and performance and, without limitation, is not conditioned or contingent upon any effort to attempt to seek payment or performance from any other person (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) or upon any other condition or contingency.

Any payments received by Purchaser from the Sellers may be applied first to any obligations of the Sellers that are not related to the Sellers’ Guaranteed Obligations until all such obligations that are not Sellers’ Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.

REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
     EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation formerly known as MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES, INC., hereby certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “Department”) that:
     FIRST: Pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by Article V of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company filed with the Department on May 15, 2007 (the “Charter”) and Section 2-105 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), by resolutions duly adopted on [], 2011, has re-classified 1,740,000 shares of the authorized but unissued preferred stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), as a separate series of Preferred Stock, authorized the issuance of a maximum of 1,740,000 shares of such series of Preferred Stock, set certain of the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and conversion and other terms and conditions of such series of Preferred Stock and determined the number of shares of such series of Preferred Stock (not in excess of the aforesaid maximum number) to be issued and the consideration and other terms and conditions upon which such shares of such series of Preferred Stock are to be issued.
     SECOND: The Board of Directors has unanimously adopted resolutions designating the aforesaid series of Preferred Stock as the “Series B Subordinated Non-Voting Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock,” approving the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and conversion and other terms and conditions of such Series B Subordinated Non-Voting Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and authorizing the issuance of up to 1,740,000 shares of Series B Subordinated Non-Voting Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company shall reserve 1,740,000 shares of Common Stock for possible issuance upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.
     THIRD: The series of Preferred Stock of the Company created by the resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors and referred to in Articles FIRST and SECOND of these Articles

S-1


 

Supplementary shall have the following designation, number of shares, preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions and limitation as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and conversion and other terms and conditions:
          Section 1. Designation and Number. A series of Preferred Stock, designated the “Series B Subordinated Non-Voting Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) is hereby established. The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be 1,740,000.
          Section 2. Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock will, with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, rank (i) senior to all classes or series of Common Stock (as defined in the Charter) and to any other class or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated by the Company to rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to the Series B Preferred Stock (such Common Stock or other junior stock, collectively, “Junior Stock”); (ii) junior to all classes or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated by the Company to rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock, including the 8.034% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company; and (iii) junior to all of the existing and future indebtedness of the Company. For purposes of these Articles Supplementary, the term “Parity Preferred Stock” shall be used to refer to any class or series of equity securities of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated by the Company to rank on a parity with Series B Preferred Stock with respect to distributions and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
          Section 3. Distributions. Payment of Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock as to the payment of distributions and holders of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of distributions, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions in an amount equal to the dividend declared, if any, on the Common Stock. All distributions shall be cumulative, shall accumulate from the original date of issuance and shall be payable (i) on each date that a dividend is paid on shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) in the event of a redemption, on the redemption date (each such payment or redemption date, a “Series B Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date”). If any date on which distributions are to be made on the Series B Preferred Stock is not a Business Day (as defined herein), then payment of the distribution to be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock will be made to the holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock on the relevant record dates, which, unless otherwise provided by the Company with respect to any distribution, will be fifteen (15) Business Days

S-2


 

prior to the relevant Series B Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date (each a “Distribution Record Date”).
     The term “Business Day” shall mean each day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.
          (a) Limitations on Distributions. No distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
          (b) Distributions Cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not declared or authorized, whether or not the terms and provisions set forth herein at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the Company has earnings and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions and if not sooner paid will be paid upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon liquidation of the Company, subject to the rights of holders of equity securities senior to the Class B Preferred Stock. Accumulated but unpaid distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock will accumulate from the original date of issuance or the last Series B Preferred Stock Distribution Payment Date on which all accumulated distributions were paid. Accumulated and unpaid distributions will not bear interest.
          (c) Priority as to Distributions. So long as any Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set apart for payment on or with respect to any Junior Stock, nor shall any cash or other property be set aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for consideration of any Junior Stock, unless, in each case, all distributions accumulated on all Series B Preferred Stock and all classes and series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) have been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is irrevocably deposited in trust for immediate payment). The foregoing sentence will not prohibit (i) distributions payable solely in Junior Stock, (ii) the conversion of Junior Stock or Parity Preferred Stock into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (iii) purchase by the Company of such Series B Preferred Stock, Parity Preferred Stock or Junior Stock pursuant to Article VII of the Charter to the extent required to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), (iv) any distributions by the Company necessary for it to maintain its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), or (v) the redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Junior Stock made for purposes of, and in compliance with, requirements of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of MHC Operating Limited Partnership (“Partnership”) or the Company.

S-3


 

               (i) So long as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not irrevocably deposited in trust for immediate payment) upon the Series B Preferred Stock, all distributions authorized and declared on the Series B Preferred Stock and all classes or series of outstanding Parity Preferred Stock shall be authorized and declared so that the amount of distributions authorized and declared per share of Series B Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated distributions per share on the Series B Preferred Stock and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such class or series of Parity Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) bear to each other.
          (d) No Further Rights. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full cumulative distributions described herein.
          Section 4. Liquidation Preference. Payment of Liquidating Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and subject to holders of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution or the proceeds thereof, after payment or provision for debts and other liabilities of the Company, but before any payment or distributions of the assets shall be made to holders of Junior Stock, an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of payment. In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment of liquidating distributions to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, all payments of liquidating distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall be made so that the payments on the Series B Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the respective rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Parity Preferred Stock does not have cumulative distribution rights) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company bear to each other.
          (a) Notice. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by (i) fax and (ii) by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than thirty (30) and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Company.
          (b) No Further Rights. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

S-4


 

          (c) Consolidation, Merger or Certain Other Transactions. The voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company to, or the consolidation or merger or other business combination of the Company with or into, any corporation, trust or other entity (or of any corporation, trust or other entity with or into the Company) shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company; provided, however, the Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable for preferred stock of the surviving entity with the same rights or preferences, adjusted for any changes in the capitalization if the Company is not the surviving entity.
          Section 5. Optional Redemption.
          (a) Right of Optional Redemption. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 5 and to the terms of any other agreement between the Company and the applicable holder of the Series B Preferred Stock (each a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”), the Company hereby grants to each Holder the right, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than seven (7) days prior written notice (such notice, a “Redemption Notice”) to the Company, to redeem any or all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“Redeemed Stock”) for cash. The redemption price per share of Redeemed Stock shall be equal to (i) the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock at the close of the last trading day immediately preceding the Redemption Notice as reported in The Wall Street Journal (Midwest Edition) or such other reputable stock price reporting service as may be reasonably selected by the Company, plus (ii) accumulated and unpaid distributions, if any, and whether or not declared, to, but not including, the redemption date.
          (b) Redemption for Common Stock at Company’s Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option, in lieu of paying such Holder the cash redemption price, exchange any or all of such Redeemed Stock for Common Stock, with one share of Series B Preferred Stock being exchangeable for one share of Common Stock, and with such exchange to be made within seven (7) days after the Company’s receipt of the Redemption Notice. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of any share dividend, split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or other similar corporate change (a "Recapitalization”), the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Holder shall be proportionately adjusted so that one share of Series B Preferred Stock remains exchangeable for one share of Common Stock without dilution. In the event that, as a result of a Recapitalization, the Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock (the “Successor Shares”) of the Company or of any other issuer that succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder (a “Successor Issuer”), then each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be exchangeable for the number (which may include fractional shares) of Successor Shares that were issued pursuant to the Recapitalization in exchange for one share of Common Stock.
          Section 6. Voting Rights. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except that, so long as any Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time amend, alter or repeal the provisions of these Articles Supplementary in such a way that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special

S-5


 

rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock or the holders thereof.
          Section 7. Ownership and Transfer Restrictions. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Article VII of the Charter.
          Section 8. No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund shall be established for the retirement or redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.
          Section 9. No Preemptive Rights. No holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall, as such holder, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for shares of stock of the Company or any other security of the Company that it may issue or sell.
     FOURTH: The Preferred Stock has been classified and designated by the Board of Directors under the authority contained in the Charter.
     FIFTH: These Articles Supplementary have been approved by the Board of Directors in the manner and by the vote required by law.
     SIXTH: These Articles Supplementary shall become effective at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on [], 2011.

T-1


 

     Escrowee has agreed to serve as escrow agent in connection with the escrow (the “Escrow”) described in Section 2(D) of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Seller, and certain of its affiliates, and Purchaser dated ____________, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”). This Agreement sets forth the agreements of Escrowee to administer and effectuate the agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the creation and maintenance of the Escrow.
          1. Receipt of Deposit Amount. Pursuant to Section 2(D) of the Purchase Agreement, Seller has delivered to Escrowee One Hundred Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety Three (113,793) shares of preferred stock of Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), valued at Fifty-Eight Dollars ($58.00) per share, with a total value of Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000.00) (the “Escrow Shares”), to be held in the Escrow. The Escrow Shares shall be held in escrow and used to fund the disbursements described in paragraphs 3 and 4 hereof. Escrowee shall hold, keep custody of, and dispose of the Escrow Shares, and invest and distribute cash deposited into the Escrow or earned on the Escrow Shares, if any (such funds, the “Escrow Funds”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          2. Investment of Escrow Funds. Any Escrow Funds held in this Escrow may be invested on behalf of Seller; provided, that any direction to Escrowee for such investment shall be expressed in writing by Seller to Escrowee, and also provided Escrowee is in receipt of Seller’s taxpayer identification number and investment forms as required. Escrowee will, upon request, furnish information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment. Except as to funds for which Escrowee has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the parties hereto agree that Escrowee shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any deposits at any time held by it hereunder; provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Escrowee’s obligation to apply the full amount of the deposits in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall receive all of the interest earned on the Escrow Funds, if any.
          3. Incremental Disbursements. On the first business day of the first full calendar quarter after the date of this Agreement, and on the first business day of each calendar quarter thereafter until the Escrow Shares and Escrow Funds are depleted (each such date, a “Quarterly Disbursement Date”), Escrowee, without the need of any further written direction, shall make a disbursement (each, a “Quarterly Disbursement”) to Purchaser from the Escrow equal to the aggregate amount set forth as the “Distribution Amount,” as shown on Exhibit B, for the prior calendar quarter. Each such Quarterly Disbursement shall be paid to Purchaser in the form of Escrow Shares which are equal in value to the Distribution Amount, which number of Escrow Shares shall be determined, in each instance, by dividing the applicable Distribution Amount by Fifty-Eight Dollars ($58.00) per share. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge that, as set forth in Exhibit B, there will be no Quarterly Disbursements pursuant to this paragraph 3 before April 1, 2013.
          4. Final Disbursement. From and after the date of this Agreement and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, if Purchaser or Seller receives a notice under the ground leases for the Property that triggers the right of the ground lessee thereunder to exercise the option to purchase the fee interest in the Property, or which evidences ground lessor’s election to “put” the Property to the ground lessee, such party shall provide the other party and Escrowee with a copy of such notice within five (5) business days after such party’s receipt

T-2


 

thereof, together with a calculation of the earliest date upon which the purchase of the fee interest in the Property could be consummated pursuant to the terms of the ground leases (such date, the “Deemed Closing Date”, such notice, the “Final Disbursement Notice”), and containing a calculation of the amount of the final disbursement payable to Purchaser and Seller (the “Final Disbursement”) such calculation to be made in accordance with Exhibit B and the Purchase Agreement, based on the Deemed Closing Date and the most recent Quarterly Disbursement Date, prorated to account for the Deemed Closing Date occurring on any day other than the first day of a month). If the party receiving the Final Disbursement Notice does not object to the calculation in the Final Disbursement Notice by written notice to Escrowee and the notifying party within ten (10) days after receipt of the Final Disbursement Notice, Escrowee, without the need for any further written direction, shall promptly thereafter make the Final Disbursement from the Escrow to Purchaser in an amount equal to the amount set forth in the Final Disbursement Notice. The Final Disbursement shall be in the form of Escrow Shares which are equal in value to the amount of the Final Disbursement, which number of Escrow Shares shall be determined by dividing the Final Disbursement by Fifty-Eight Dollars ($58.00) per share. Immediately thereafter, the Escrowee shall distribute to the Seller all Escrow Shares and Escrow Funds then remaining in the Escrow, if any, and the Escrow shall thereafter automatically terminate and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder.
          5. Full Payment. Escrowee acknowledges that it has received full payment for the costs and related fees necessary to perform all services required of Escrowee hereunder.
          6. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Illinois.
          7. Duties of Escrowee. Escrowee shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
          8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original.
          9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among Seller, Purchaser and Escrowee with respect to the matters described herein, and may not be modified except upon the express written consent of the Seller (or the Attorney for Seller on behalf of Seller), Purchaser (or the Attorney for Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser), and Escrowee. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
          10. Deposits. All shares and funds deposited hereunder, together with any interest accrued thereon, less the withdrawals, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of any party hereto and shall be used solely for the purposes set forth herein.
          11. Assignment. The Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder to any designee, including the right to receive disbursement of the Escrow Shares and Escrow Funds from the

T-3


 

Escrow; provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment: (i) Purchaser shall be required to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement insofar as they relate to the Property; (ii) a true, correct and complete copy of such assignment shall be provided to Seller, complete with the assignee’s address for notice purposes; and (iii) the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement insofar as it pertains to the Escrow Shares and the Escrow Funds. In the event that Purchaser assigns its rights hereunder to a designee and satisfies the foregoing requirements, Purchaser shall provide written notice thereof to Seller and to Escrowee, and Escrowee shall thereafter recognize the designee as Purchaser for all purposes hereunder.
     12. Seller’s Liability Capped. The parties hereby acknowledge that Seller’s liability with respect to the funding of the Ground Lease Escrow shall be limited to the amount of the Escrow Shares that Seller has deposited into the Escrow under this Agreement and any Escrow Funds earned therefrom, if any.
     13. Business Days. Wherever, under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the time for performance of a condition falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, such time for performance shall be extended to the next business day.
     14. Conflicting Demands. If conflicting demands are made upon Escrowee or legal action is taken in connection with the Escrow, and Seller (or the Attorney for Seller on behalf of Seller) and Purchaser (or the Attorney for Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser) fail to resolve such conflict and make consistent demands after written notice from Escrowee, then except as set forth in Section 1 above, Escrowee may withhold and stop all further proceedings without liability therefore, or Escrowee may file suit in interpleader or for declaratory relief.

T-1-1


 

Partnership, as Purchaser (“Purchaser”).
     Escrowee has agreed to serve as escrow agent in connection with the escrow (the “Escrow”) described in Section 2(__) of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Seller, and certain of its affiliates, and Purchaser dated ____________, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”). This Agreement sets forth the agreements of Escrowee to administer and effectuate the agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the creation and maintenance of the Escrow.
          1. Receipt of Deposit Amount. Pursuant to Section 2(__) of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser has delivered to Escrowee the sum of [____________] Dollars ($_________.00) [which will be equal to the outstanding principal balance together with accrued but unpaid interest due and owing pursuant to the Colony Cove Notes as of date of this Agreement] (the “Escrow Funds”) to be held in the Escrow. The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow and used to fund the disbursements described in paragraphs 3 and 4 hereof. Escrowee shall hold, keep custody of, invest and distribute the Escrow Funds together with interest earned thereon in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          2. Investment of Escrow Funds. Deposits of funds made pursuant to this Agreement may be invested on behalf of Purchaser; provided, that any direction to Escrowee for such investment shall be expressed in writing by Purchaser to Escrowee, and also provided Escrowee is in receipt of Purchaser’s taxpayer identification number and investment forms as required. Escrowee will, upon request, furnish information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment. Except as to deposits of funds for which Escrowee has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the parties hereto agree that Escrowee shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any deposits at any time held by it hereunder; provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Escrowee’s obligation to apply the full amount of the deposits in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall receive all of the interest earned on the Escrow Funds.
          3. Incremental Disbursements. On the first business day of the first full calendar month after the date of this Agreement, and on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until the Escrow Funds are depleted (each such date, a “Monthly Disbursement Date”), Escrowee, without the need of any further written direction, shall make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Escrow equal to the aggregate amount set forth as the “Distribution Amount,” as shown on Exhibit B, for the prior calendar month (such amount, the “Monthly Disbursement Amount”). Each such Monthly Disbursement Amount shall have added to it the aggregate amount of all interest earned on the Escrow Funds during the prior calendar month, if any.
          4. Final Disbursement. From and after the date of this Agreement and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, if Purchaser or Seller receives a notice under the ground leases for the Property that triggers the right of the ground lessee thereunder to exercise the option to purchase the fee interest in the Property, or which evidences ground lessor’s election to “put” the Property to the ground lessee, such party shall provide the other party and Escrowee with a copy of such notice within five (5) business days after such party’s receipt thereof, together with a calculation of the earliest date upon which the purchase of the fee interest in the Property could be consummated pursuant to the terms of the ground leases (such

T-1-2


 

date, the “Deemed Closing Date”, such notice, the “Final Disbursement Notice”). If the party receiving the Final Disbursement Notice does not object to the calculation in the Deemed Closing Date by written notice to Escrowee and the notifying party within ten (10) days after receipt of the Final Disbursement Notice, Escrowee, without the need for any further written direction, shall on the Deemed Closing Date make a disbursement from the Escrow to the Seller in the amount of all funds then remaining in the Escrow, if any. Thereafter, the Escrow shall automatically terminate and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all disbursements which accrue pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof for all periods prior to the Deemed Closing Date.
          5. Full Payment. Escrowee acknowledges that it has received full payment for the costs and related fees necessary to perform all services required of Escrowee hereunder.
          6. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Illinois.
          7. Duties of Escrowee. Escrowee shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
          8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original.
          9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among Seller, Purchaser and Escrowee with respect to the matters described herein, and may not be modified except upon the express written consent of the Seller (or the Attorney for Seller on behalf of Seller), Purchaser (or the Attorney for Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser), and Escrowee. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
          10. Deposit of Funds. All funds deposited hereunder, together with any interest accrued thereon, less the withdrawals, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of any party hereto and shall be used solely for the purposes set forth herein.
     11. Assignment. The parties hereto may assign their rights hereunder to any designee, including the right to receive disbursement of the Escrow Funds from the Escrow; provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment: (i) Purchaser shall be required to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement insofar as they relate to the Property; (ii) a true, correct and complete copy of such assignment shall be provided to Seller, complete with the assignee’s address for notice purposes; and (iii) the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement insofar as it pertains to the Escrow Shares and the Escrow Funds. In the event that Purchaser assigns its rights hereunder to a designee and satisfies the foregoing requirements, Purchaser shall provide

T-1-3


 

written notice thereof to Seller and to Escrowee, and Escrowee shall thereafter recognize the designee as Purchaser for all purposes hereunder.
     12. Purchaser’s Liability Capped. The parties hereby acknowledge that Purchaser’s liability with respect to the funding of the Escrow shall be limited to the amount of Escrow Funds that Purchaser has deposited into the Escrow under this Agreement.
     13. Business Days. Wherever, under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the time for performance of a condition falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, such time for performance shall be extended to the next business day.
     14. Conflicting Demands. If conflicting demands are made upon Escrowee or legal action is taken in connection with the Escrow, and Seller (or the Attorney for Seller on behalf of Seller) and Purchaser (or the Attorney for Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser) fail to resolve such conflict and make consistent demands after written notice from Escrowee, then except as set forth in Section 1 above, Escrowee may withhold and stop all further proceedings without liability therefore, or Escrowee may file suit in interpleader or for declaratory relief.

(“Hometown Management Corp.”) and the other entities listed as “Sellers” on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Selling Entities” and together with MH Financial, Hometown Management L.L.C., Hometown Management L.P. and Hometown Management Corp., collectively, the “Sellers”), and Realty Systems, Inc. and MHC Operating Limited Partnership (collectively, “Purchasers”).
     Escrowee has agreed to serve as escrow agent in connection with the closing (“Closing”) of the sale of the Properties and other assets by Sellers to Purchasers (collectively, the “Transaction”) pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 31, 2011 by and among the Selling Entities and MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Park Agreement”) and pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement [Homes and Home Loans] dated May 31, 2011 by and among MH Financial, L.L.C., Hometown America Management, L.L.C., Hometown America Management, L.P. and Hometown America Management Corp., as sellers, and Purchasers, as purchasers (the “Home and Loan Agreement”). Escrowee, Purchasers and Sellers acknowledge that the Transaction may proceed in multiple Closings each involving less than all of the Properties (as defined in the Park Agreement) and assets and that all Properties and assets may not be purchased by Purchasers.
     This Agreement sets forth the agreements of Escrowee to administer and effectuate the Closing of the Transaction and the agreement of Sellers and Purchasers with respect to the Closing of the Transaction:
     1. Receipt of Deposit Amount. Pursuant to Section 5(F) of the Park Agreement, Purchasers shall deposit with Escrowee not later than 5:00 p.m. (CST) on ________, 2011, the sum of Two Hundred Seventy Five Million Dollars ($275,000,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) to be held in the Escrow. The Escrow Agent shall hold, keep custody of, invest and dispose of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     2. Investment of Escrow Funds. Deposits of funds made pursuant to this Agreement may be invested on behalf of the party depositing said funds; provided, that any direction to Escrowee for such investment shall be expressed in writing and contain the consent of all other parties to this Escrow (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and also provided that the Escrowee is in receipt of the taxpayers identification numbers and investment forms as required. Escrowee will, upon request, furnish information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment. Except as to deposits of funds for which Escrowee has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the parties hereto agree that the Escrowee shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any deposits at any time held by it hereunder; provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Escrowee’s obligation to apply the full amount of the deposits in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At Closing, Purchasers shall each receive the interest earned on the Escrow Funds.

U-2


 

     3. Deposit of Closing Documents. Escrowee hereby acknowledges that Sellers have delivered to Escrowee those executed and notarized deeds for each of the Properties (the “Deeds”) required to be delivered by Sellers in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 5(B)(i)(a) and the assignments of the Michigan Loan Documents and the Lawsuit required to be delivered by Sellers in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 5(B)(i)(ff) (the “Michigan Loan Assignments”), and Purchasers and Sellers have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Park Agreement and the Home and Loan Agreement, to deliver to Escrowee, on or before the Closing Date, the remaining documents and deliveries required to be delivered by Sellers and Purchasers in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 5(B) of the Park Agreement and Section 5(B) of the Home and Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Other Closing Documents”).
     (a) Escrowee confirms that each of the Deeds and the Michigan Loan Assignments, so delivered, has been fully signed, dated and witnessed and/or acknowledged by a notary public, that each Deed is in proper form for filing or recording in the jurisdictions in which each such Deed is to be filed or recorded, that all blank spaces in the Deeds and the Michigan Loan Assignments have been appropriately completed (or will be completed by Escrowee at the time of recordation or filing), that each of the Deeds and the Michigan Loan Assignments is complete, and that all required exhibits (including complete and accurate property descriptions, where applicable) and ancillary documents required for recording purposes are attached thereto.
     (b) Should Escrowee become aware that any Deeds do not meet the requirements for filing or recording in the jurisdictions in which each of such Deeds is to be filed or recorded, Escrowee is to notify Attorney for Sellers and Attorney for Purchasers as soon as possible in writing. All parties agree to use reasonable commercial efforts to correct such documents and effect recordation thereof as soon as practicable.
     4. Title Policies. Purchasers and Escrowee agree to continue to work toward completion of the policies of title insurance (the “Owner’s Policies”) to be issued to Purchasers on the Closing Date, insuring Purchasers’ fee or leasehold interest in the Properties, effective as of the Closing Date, and on the Closing Date Escrowee shall be irrevocably committed to issue to Purchasers the Owner’s Policies based upon, consistent and in accordance with its owner’s pro-form title insurance policies or marked title commitments approved by Purchasers (the “Pro-Forma Policies”) and consistent with the terms of the Park Agreement. By acceptance of these instructions Escrowee acknowledges and agrees that upon disbursement of the Escrow Funds, or any part thereof, all title insurance premiums and other sums due to Escrowee will be deemed paid in full and the Pro-Forma Policies shall be deemed actual title insurance policies, for the benefit of the respective insureds thereunder, effective as of the date of such disbursement (until delivery, in each case, of the applicable original title insurance policy).
     5. Pre-Closing Activities. In connection with the Closing, Escrowee, Purchasers and Sellers will proceed as follows (collectively, the “Closing Conditions”):

All such additional funds so provided by Purchasers shall be added to and included as part of the “Escrow Funds.”
If the Closing is not consummated for any reason by 1:00 p.m. (CST) on the Closing Date, then Escrowee shall, not later than 4:00 p.m. (CST) on the Closing Date (a) deliver the Escrow Funds and interest earned thereon to Purchasers by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (b) return all documents to the party depositing said documents with Escrowee, and (c) destroy all joint deposits. Sellers and Purchasers agree that in the event the Closing is not consummated for any reason by 1:00 p.m. (CST) on the Closing Date, Escrowee shall proceed without any further direction from Sellers or Purchasers, Sellers hereby waiving any and all right to object thereto or to prevent the Escrowee from proceeding as instructed in the immediately preceding sentence. Sellers and Purchasers are entering into this Agreement and after having received the benefit of legal counsel’s advice regarding the consequences of the terms of this provision.
     6. Full Payment.

At 9:00 a.m. (CST) on the Closing Date, provided that all of the Closing Conditions have been satisfied, Escrowee is then hereby authorized and directed to promptly proceed as follows with respect to only the Included Assets:
     (a) At Closing, issue to Purchasers marked and signed versions of the Pro-Forma Policies.
     (b) At Closing, disburse the Escrow Funds to those persons and in those amounts described in the Closing Statement attached hereto as Exhibit B and return any excess Escrow Funds to Purchaser.

     10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original.
