(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Construction Properties” shall mean each of (1) Village at Temple, the property owned by ACT-Village at Temple, LLC (“ACT Temple”), (2) Village at Fresno State, the property owned by ACT-Village at Fresno State, LLC (“ACT Fresno”) and (3) Village at CSU, the property owned by ACT-Village at CSU, LLC (“ACT CSU”); the term “Completion Funds” means the difference between (1) the aggregate amount of the original development budgets for the Construction Properties approved by American-Campus Titan LLC and American Campus-Titan II LLC that have not been paid to date and (2) the Escrowed Funds; the term “Escrowed Funds” means $824,011 as of the Closing, together with any amounts to be deposited by the Company with Escrow Agent (hereinafter defined) as and when received from Apex Construction Company with respect the Construction Properties owned by ACT Fresno and ACT CSU (estimated as of today to be approximately $400,000), representing the aggregate estimated amount of savings with respect to the Construction Properties; and the term “Escrow Agent” shall mean LandAmerica Title Insurance Company.

(ii) From and after the Closing, the Company, may in its discretion, use the Completion Funds to (1) complete, equip and provide for operating and marketing expenditures that are related to putting each of the Construction Properties into service (but are not part of the annual operating budget) in accordance with the existing plans and specifications with addendums as of the date hereof (the “Approved Plans and Specs”) and in a manner consistent with the historical business practices utilized to open properties owned by the Company (“Completion”), (2) obtain certificates of occupancy and other required governmental or municipal approvals or permits for the Construction Properties (“Governmental Approvals”) and (3) pay costs, of alternate housing and related expenses with respect to each Construction Property, and, in addition, liquidated damages with respect to the Construction Property ground leased by ACT Temple, in the event that the applicable Construction Property does not achieve Completion and all Governmental Approvals have not been obtained with respect to such Construction Property by the date required pursuant to the terms of the student leases with respect to each Construction Property, and, with respect to the Construction Property ground leased by ACT Temple, the ground lease, as amended, for such Construction Property (net of any amounts received by the Company Entities and/or ACT Temple from any third parties liable or potentially liable for causing such delays) (“Construction Delay Costs”). If and to the extent that the Completion Funds are insufficient to achieve Completion of the Construction Properties, the Company may, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.4(a)(iii) below, use the Escrowed Funds to (1) achieve Completion of the Construction Properties and (2) obtain Governmental Approvals and (3) pay for Construction Delay Costs. Notwithstanding the above, no more than $56,500 of the Escrowed Funds may be utilized by the Company to complete construction of the Construction Properties owned by ACT Fresno and ACT CSU, in the aggregate; provided, however, that such amount shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that any amounts received by the Company from Apex Construction Company and subsequently deposited by the Company with Escrow Agent as contemplated by Section 1.4(a)(i) are included within the Escrowed Funds. In addition, the parties agree that in no event may either the Completion Funds or the Escrowed Funds be utilized (a) to fund expenditures accounted for in the Company’s operating budgets or (b) for expenditures which are inconsistent with the Company’s historical business practices used to open properties owned by the Company.

 

(iii) Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Funds in escrow. From time to time, the Company may submit a written claim to Escrow Agent (with a simultaneous copy being sent to Sponsors) requesting disbursement of all or any portion of the Escrowed Funds. Within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice, Sponsors shall submit to Escrow Agent (y) an approval of the Company’s requested disbursement or (z) a written objection to all or any portion of the Company’s request (in either event with a simultaneous copy being sent to the Company). Amounts approved by Sponsors within such ten (10) day period promptly shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent to the Company. If an objection shall have been delivered by Sponsors as aforesaid or Sponsors shall have not responded to the Company’s request within such 10-day period, either party may refer such matter to the American Arbitration Association (or such other third-party mediator agreed upon by the parties hereto, the “Arbitrator”) for a determination that will be final and binding upon both parties (the “Final Determination”). The Arbitrator shall render its Final Determination in writing to the Company and Sponsors within fifteen (15) business days thereafter. Any fees and disbursements of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties.

Upon the occurrence of the Final Completion Event, the Company shall have no further right to any remaining portion of the Completion Funds nor any remaining portion of the Escrowed Funds and the Company shall thereupon without any further action on its part be deemed to have released, and hereby does release, the Sponsors from any further claims of the Company in respect of any further amounts regarding the Construction Properties or any costs or liabilities incurred by the Company relating to the Construction Properties.

 

(b) Fresno. The Company and Sponsors shall cooperate, and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, as promptly as possible following the date hereof, the balance of the insurance proceeds claimed by ACT Fresno in connection with the fire that occurred at its Construction Properties in 2003 (the “Fresno Fire”). Subject to the provisions of the next immediate sentence, the amount of any such insurance proceeds collected by the Company Entities or ACT Fresno (the “Collected Insurance Proceeds”) may be used by the Company to achieve Completion, obtain any Governmental Permits and pay for Construction Delay Costs with respect to the Construction Property owned by ACT Temple (but not with respect to any of the other Construction Properties) (the “Temple Completion Costs”) but only to the extent the Temple Completion Costs previously have not been satisfied utilizing the Completion Funds pursuant to Section 1.4(a). Upon receipt by the Company Entities or ACT Fresno of any such insurance proceeds, (i) if the Temple Completion Costs shall have been satisfied, then any Collected Insurance Proceeds received by the Company Entities or ACT Fresno shall be held by them in trust for NEWCO and shall be promptly remitted to NEWCO; (ii) if the Temple Completion Costs shall have not been satisfied and there does not remain any Completion Funds not previously delivered to the Company Entities, then any Collected Insurance Proceeds received by the Company Entities or ACT Fresno shall be deemed Completion Funds and may be used at the Company’s discretion to satisfy the Temple Completion Costs; and (iii) if the Temple Completion Costs shall have not been satisfied and there remains Completion Funds not previously delivered to the Company Entities, then any Collected Insurance Proceeds received by the Company Entities or ACT Fresno shall be delivered to Escrow Agent to be held as and part of the Escrowed Funds; provided, however, that disbursements to the Company from the Escrowed Funds of any Collected Insurance Proceeds may be used only to satisfy Temple Construction Costs. Upon the written request of Sponsors, and at no cost to the Company Entities and/or ACT Fresno, the Company Entities and ACT Fresno shall, subject to the continuing directions of the Sponsors, commence litigation or such other legal proceedings as the Sponsors reasonably shall request and against such persons and entities as the Sponsors shall direct (the “Insurance Litigation”) to seek to recover insurance proceeds claimed by ACT Fresno in connection with the Fresno Fire.

At the request of Sponsors at any time following the satisfaction of the Temple Completion Costs, the Company Entities and ACT Fresno shall either (i) assign their claim for all remaining insurance proceeds to NEWCO, or (ii) seek to enforce such claim against the insurer upon receipt by the Company Entities or ACT Fresno of appropriate indemnifications from Sponsors for all associated costs of such enforcement actions, with any insurance proceeds collected through such action to be remitted to NEWCO.

 

(c) Survival. The provisions of this Section 1.4 shall survive the Closing but shall cease to be binding upon the early termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

9


(B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the RAP Interests or any RAP Student Housing Entity or any interests therein except such Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, there are no material contracts, agreements or other transactions between any Company Entity or Student Housing Entity or any of their respective affiliates, on the one part, and RAP-ACP or any person holding a direct interest in RAP-ACP or any of their respective affiliates, on the other part.

 

(f) No Broker or Finder. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, there are no contracts, agreements or understanding between RAP-ACP, or any person holding a direct or indirect controlling interest in RAP-ACP, or any of their respective affiliates and any other person that would give rise to a valid claim against any Company Entity or any underwriter under the IPO for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the IPO or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(g) Withholding; Non-Foreign Status. RAP-ACP is not subject to any federal or state withholding provisions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons. RAP-ACP is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code). RAP-ACP is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), and is, therefore, not subject to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons, and is not subject to any state withholding requirements.

 

(h) Taxes. To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, for federal income tax purposes, each RAP Student Housing Entity is, and at all times during its existence has been, a partnership or limited liability company taxable as a partnership (rather than an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation). To the knowledge of RAP-ACP, each RAP Student Housing Entity has timely and properly filed all tax returns required to be filed by it and has timely paid all taxes required to be paid by it, except with respect to those taxes being contested in good faith.

To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, neither RAP-ACP nor the RAP Student Housing Entities have received any notification of any material new or increased general or special tax assessments for any of the RAP Properties or the RAP Interests.

 

(i) Real Property.

 

(i) To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, neither RAP-ACP nor any of RAP Student Housing Entities has given or received any notice of any uncured default with respect to any material agreement affecting the RAP Properties which would have a Material Adverse Effect, and, no event has occurred or is threatened, which through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a

 

10


material default thereunder or would cause the acceleration of any material obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any RAP Property, except for Permitted Liens or such Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(ii) To RAP-ACP’s knowledge each RAP Student Housing Entity identified on Schedule III as owning an underlying Property has insurable fee simple or ground lease title to such Property.

 

(iii) To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, there is no existing, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding, which would affect all or any portion of the RAP Properties in any material respect.

 

(iv) There are no ground leases as to which an RAP Student Housing Entity holds an interest as lessee or tenant.

 

(j) Environmental Compliance. To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, except as may be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the environmental reports which have been made available by the Sponsors to the Company Entities (the “Environmental Reports”) or would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the RAP Properties are currently in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits. To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, RAP-ACP has not received any written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other Governmental Entity that regulates Hazardous Materials or public health risks or other environmental matters or any other private party or Person claiming any violation of, or requiring compliance with, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or demanding payment or contribution for any Release or other environmental damage in, on, under, or upon any of the RAP Properties. To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, except as may be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Environmental Reports, no investigation or litigation with respect to Hazardous Materials located in, on, under or upon any of the RAP Properties is pending or has been overtly threatened in the last twelve months by any Governmental Entity or any third party.

 

(k) Intellectual Property. To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect there are no Actions involving RAP-ACP, any RAP Student Housing Entities, or the RAP Properties pending or threatened, that concern any copyrights, copyright application, trademarks, trademark registrations, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade names and trade name registrations or any trade secrets (the “Proprietary Rights”) being transferred to the Company Entities hereunder by RAP-ACP. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, to RAP-ACP’s knowledge, RAP-ACP has the right and authority to use the Proprietary Rights being transferred to the Company Entities hereunder by RAP-ACP necessary in connection with the operation of the RAP Properties in the manner in which it is currently used, and to convey such right and authority to the Company Entities at the Closing.

 

(l) Existing Loans. The Registration Statement lists all secured loans presently encumbering the RAP Properties or any direct or indirect interest in any RAP Student Housing Entity, and any unsecured loans made to RAP-ACP or any RAP Student Housing Entity to be assumed by the Company Entities or any subsidiary of the Company Entities at Closing, as

 

11


of the date hereof (the “RAP Existing Loans”). To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, the RAP Existing Loans and the documents entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “RAP Loan Documents”) are in full force and effect as of the date hereof. To RAP-ACP’s knowledge, no event of default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default has occurred as of the date hereof under any of the RAP Loan Documents which would have a Material Adverse Effect. True and correct copies of the existing RAP Loan Documents have been made available to the Company Entities.

 

(m) No Untrue Statement. To the knowledge of RAP-ACP, other than such matters that are known by the Company, the Registration Statement does not, and on the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading.

(d) No Consents. Except as shall have been cured, consented to or waived in writing by the Company prior to the Closing, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Company Entities of (A) the organizational documents, including the charters and bylaws, if any, of RSVP, RSVP-LLC or the RSVP Student Housing Entities, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which RSVP is a party or by which RSVP, RSVP-LLC or any of the RSVP Student Housing Entities are bound or (C) to RSVP’s knowledge, any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or governmental or regulatory authority or foreign, federal, state, local or other law binding on RSVP, RSVP-LLC or the RSVP Student Housing Entities or by which RSVP, RSVP-LLC or the RSVP Student Housing Entities or any of their assets or properties are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the RSVP Interests or any RSVP Student Housing Entity or any interests therein except such Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e) No Related Party Transactions. Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, there are no material contracts, agreements or other transactions between any

Company Entity or Student Housing Entity or any of their respective affiliates, on the one part, and RSVP or any person holding a direct interest in RSVP or any of their respective affiliates, on the other part.

 

(f) No Broker or Finder. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, there are no contracts, agreements or understanding between any RSVP, or any person holding a direct or indirect interest in RSVP, or any of their respective affiliates and any other person that would give rise to a valid claim against any Company Entity or any underwriter under the IPO for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the IPO or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(g) Withholding; Non-Foreign Status. RSVP is not subject to any federal or state withholding provisions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons. RSVP is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code).

(ii) To RSVP’s knowledge each RSVP Student Housing Entity identified on Schedule IV as owning an underlying Property has insurable fee simple or ground lease title to such Property.

(iv) The ground leases referenced in the Registration Statement (the “Ground Leases”) are the only ground leases in which any of the RSVP Student Housing Entities holds an interest as lessee or tenant. To RSVP’s knowledge, such Ground Leases are in full force and effect, except as indicated otherwise in the Registration Statement or in any estoppel certificate made available or delivered to the Company Entities prior to the Closing. To RSVP’s knowledge, neither RSVP nor the RSVP Student Housing Entities have received any written notice from any ground lessor under any of the Ground Leases alleging the existence of any default on the part of RSVP or the RSVP Student Housing Entities thereunder. To RSVP’s knowledge, no ground lessor under any of the Ground Leases is in default or is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. To RSVP’s knowledge, neither RSVP nor any of the RSVP Student Housing Entities are in default under any Ground Lease, and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default under any Ground Lease.

The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the

Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action and the intent to employ counsel hereunder or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

(c) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.2 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, RSVP and RAP-ACP, jointly and severally, and the Representatives severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Section 6.2 Losses”) to which RSVP and RAP-ACP, and one or more of the Representatives may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company Entities and RSVP and RAP-ACP on the one hand and by the Representatives on the other from the IPO; provided, however, that in no case shall any Representatives (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the IPO) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the shares of common stock of the Company purchased by the underwriters in the IPO and in no case shall RSVP and RAP-ACP be responsible for any amount in excess of the limitation specified in Section 5.1(f). If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, RSVP, RAP-ACP and the Representatives severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits, but also the relative fault of the Company Entities and RSVP and RAP-ACP on the one hand and of the Representatives on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Section 6.2 Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company Entities shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the IPO (before deducting expenses) received by it; benefits received by RSVP and RAP-ACP shall be deemed to be equal to the Redemption Amount received by RAP-ACP, as adjusted in accordance with Section 4.6(c) of this Agreement;

 

23


and benefits received by the Representatives shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company Entities and RSVP and RAP-ACP on the one hand or the Representatives on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. RSVP, RAP-ACP and the Representatives agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6.2(c), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6.2, each person who controls a Representative within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of a Representative shall have the same rights to contribution as such Representative, and each person who controls RSVP and RAP-ACP within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as RSVP and RAP-ACP subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 6.2(c).

 

(d) The respective agreements, representations and indemnities of RSVP and RAP-ACP set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Representative or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in this Section 6.2 hereof, and will survive the consummation of the transactions anticipated in this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VII.

 

CONSOLIDATED NET WORTH REQUIREMENT

 

7.1. Definitions.

 

(a) “Acceptable Appraisal” means any appraisal, in form, content and methodology reasonably acceptable to the Representatives prepared by any independent appraiser which is a member of the Appraisal Institute with a national practice and who has at least 10 years experience with real estate or the same type and in the same geographic area as the property or other asset to be appraised.

24


assets owned or in operation, (b) unimproved land, and (c) development assets, (iii) the depreciated book value of physical assets other than assets referred to in clause (ii) above, (iv) other items considered as assets within the meaning of generally accepted accounting principles other than goodwill and similar non-tangible assets and (v) such persons pro rata share of any of the foregoing items that are attributable to any unconsolidated entity at such time; provided however, that the value reflected in an Acceptable Appraisal for of any asset shall be deemed to be the value of such asset for purposes of calculating Consolidated Total Asset Value.

 

(d) “Consolidated Total Indebtedness” of any person at any time means the sum of, without duplication, the following amounts of such person and its consolidated entities at such time: (i) the principal amount of all borrowed money indebtedness plus accrued but unpaid indebtedness thereon, (ii) all obligations of such person for the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than ordinary course trade payables not overdue by more than 60 days), (iii) the principal amount of all obligations under capital leases plus accrued but unpaid indebtedness thereon, (iv) all obligations under letters of credit or similar facilities, (v) all obligations under hedge agreements, (vi) all amounts of guaranties, indemnities for borrowed money, stop-loss agreements, take-or-pay agreements and the like provided by such person or any of its consolidated entities, (vii) all amounts of bonds posted by such person or any of its consolidated entities guaranties performance or payment obligations and (viii) such person’s pro rata share of any of the foregoing items that are attributable to any unconsolidated entity at such time.

 

7.2. Consolidated Net Worth Requirement. RSVP hereby agrees and covenants that RSVP shall maintain a Consolidated Net Worth of not less than $20,000,000 less any amounts paid by RSVP or RAP-ACP under Sections 4.5, 5.1(a), 5.1(b) or 6.2 of this Agreement (the “Net Worth Requirement”) until the later of (a) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) the settlement of any and all claims under Sections 4.5, 5.1(a), 5.1(b) or 6.2 arising prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Net Worth Expiration Date”). In addition, RSVP hereby agrees and covenants that RSVP shall not make any distribution of cash subsequent to the date hereof and through the Net Worth Expiration Date, other than the distribution of the Redemption Amount and amounts delivered to Sponsors pursuant to Section 4.6(c) hereunder unless RSVP meets the Net Worth Requirement prior to and immediately subsequent to such distribution.
