- 15 -

Section 2.4. Consideration.

(a) Subject to the following provisions of this Section 2.4 and to the provisions of Section 2.5 and Section 2.11, the aggregate consideration (the “Consideration”) payable by Purchaser in respect of the Transactions shall be $635,000,000. The Consideration shall be payable as follows:

(i) Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Campus will notify Purchaser in writing of the dollar amount of the Consideration (the “Unit Consideration”) that Seller elects to receive in the form of Purchaser OP Units, which shall not be less than an aggregate of $5,000,000, and the amount of Unit Consideration to be paid on the Initial Closing Date (the “Existing Property Unit Consideration”) and each Development Property Closing Date or Deferred Closing Date (the “Development Property Unit Consideration”), and Annex A shall be revised to indicate the type of Consideration payable with respect to each Campus Property listed on Annex A (without change to the aggregate Assigned Price of any Campus Property). If such notice is not received by Purchaser on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller will be deemed to have elected to receive no Existing Property Unit Consideration and no Development Property Unit Consideration. At least ten days before the applicable closing, Seller shall give Purchaser notice of the name, address and other reasonable information required by Purchaser of or relating to the Recipients to receive Purchaser OP Units at such closing.

(ii) On the Initial Closing Date, (A) the Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be paid to Seller, and (B) for the Existing Campus Properties, an amount in cash shall be payable by Purchaser equal to (1) the aggregate of the Assigned Prices for the Existing Campus Properties (other than the Withdrawn Properties), less (2) the sum of (x) the aggregate of the unpaid principal balances owing under the Assumed Loans as of the Initial Closing Date, (y) the entire Earnest Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon, and (z) the Existing Property Unit Consideration, plus or minus (3) the net amount of the adjustments, prorations, credits and holdbacks provided for herein (the “Existing Property Cash Consideration”). The number of Purchaser OP Units to be issued on the Initial Closing Date shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Existing Property Unit Consideration by the average closing price per share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Purchaser Common Stock”), of Purchaser on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Initial Closing Date. On the Initial Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause (i) the full amount of the Existing Property Cash Consideration to be paid with respect to the Existing Campus Properties (other than Withdrawn Properties) in the amounts set forth on Annex A opposite their respective names and (ii) the full amount of the Existing Property Unit Consideration to be issued to the Recipients as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(i).

 

- 16 -


(iii) On the Initial Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the full amount of the Consideration attributable to the Contribution Transactions, which is $33,600,000, to be issued to Manager and Campus Developer Owner in the respective amounts specified by Campus. Such Consideration shall be payable at Campus’s election in cash, Purchaser OP Units or a combination of cash and Purchaser OP Units (but in no event shall Purchaser OP Units with a value of less than $5,000,000 be issuable under Section 2.4(a)(i) and this Section 2.4(a)(iii)). Campus shall notify Purchaser of such election on or before the end of the Inspection Period. Unless otherwise specified by notice from Campus to Purchaser on or before the end of the Inspection Period, the entire amount of such Consideration shall be payable in Purchaser OP Units. The number of Purchaser OP Units to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii) shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Consideration that is payable in Purchaser OP Units by the average closing price per share of the Purchaser Common Stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Initial Closing Date

(iv) On the Development Property Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date, as the case may be, an amount in cash shall be payable by Purchaser equal to (1) the aggregate of the Assigned Prices for each Campus Development Property that is the subject of the applicable closing, less (2) the Development Property Unit Consideration for such Campus Development Properties, plus or minus (3) the net amount of the adjustments, prorations, credits and holdbacks provided for herein (the “Development Property Cash Consideration”). The number of Purchaser OP Units to be issued on the Development Property Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Development Property Unit Consideration for the applicable Campus Development Properties by the average closing price per share of Purchaser Common Stock on the NYSE for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the Development Property Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date, as the case may be. On the Development Property Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date, as the case may be, Purchaser shall cause (i) the full amount of the Deferred Property Cash Consideration to be paid with respect to the applicable Campus Development Properties in the amounts set forth on Annex A opposite their respective names and (ii) the full amount of the applicable Development Property Unit Consideration to be issued to the Recipients as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(i).

(b) At the Initial Closing:

(i) funds and Purchaser OP Units (in proportions designated by Campus) that otherwise would be payable to Campus, in an aggregate amount or value of $5,500,000, shall be deposited into escrow to be held and disbursed pursuant to the Rental Guarantee Escrow Agreement, and Purchaser, Campus and the escrow agent named therein shall execute and deliver counterparts of the Rental Guarantee Escrow Agreement; and

(ii) funds and Purchaser OP Units (in proportions designated by Campus) that otherwise would be payable to Campus, in an aggregate amount or value equal to the Retained Amount, shall be deposited into escrow to be held and disbursed pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, and Purchaser, Campus and the escrow agent named therein shall execute and deliver counterparts of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.

 

- 17 -


(c)If on the Initial Closing Date (i) any Existing Campus Property is a Withdrawn Property and (ii) the Property Entity that owns such Withdrawn Property owns no other Existing Campus Property, the Property Entity that owns such Withdrawn Property shall not consummate an Existing Property Merger and such Withdrawn Property shall be excluded from the Transactions.

(d) If on the Initial Closing Date (i) any Existing Campus Property is a Withdrawn Property and (ii) the Property Entity that owns such Withdrawn Property owns one or more additional Existing Campus Properties, the Property Entity shall consummate an Existing Property Merger only after first divesting the Withdrawn Property, to the extent such divestiture can be validly consummated and all required consents thereto of investors and lenders have been obtained; provided, however, that the divesture by Campus Investors Austin, LLC of any Withdrawn Property owned by such Property Entity requires the consent of Purchaser.

(e) In any case described in Section 2.4(d) in which a divestiture of the Withdrawn Property cannot be validly consummated or, with respect to Campus Investors Austin, LLC is not consented to by Purchaser, the Property Entity that owns it shall not consummate an Existing Property Merger and the Existing Campus Properties owned by it shall each be a Withdrawn Property.

(f) If requested by Campus, Purchaser shall withhold and pay over to Campus from any payment of Consideration that would otherwise be payable under this Section 2.4 any amount specified by Campus that is attributable to the expenses of the Transactions, including any Taxes. To the extent that Purchaser withholds any amount from any payment of Consideration and pays such amount to Campus at the request of Campus under this Section 2.4(f), Purchaser shall be deemed to have paid such amount of Consideration as required pursuant to this Agreement and thereby satisfied all of its obligations with respect to such amount of Consideration under this Agreement. Purchaser shall have the right to withhold from the Consideration and pay to any applicable Governmental Entity or taxing authority any Tax required to be withheld by the Company pursuant to applicable Law (provided that Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of any such withholding hereunder at least five Business Days prior to the applicable closing hereunder at which Purchaser shall make such withholding). Any such withheld Consideration that is paid to the applicable Governmental Entity or taxing authority in accordance with applicable Law shall be deemed to have been paid by Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement and Purchaser shall be deemed to have satisfied all of its obligations with respect to such Consideration under this Agreement.

Section 2.5. Prorations and Adjustments.

(a) The consideration payable by Purchaser in respect of any Campus Property as provided in Section 2.4 shall be subject to proration and adjustment as provided in this Section 2.5. For Existing Campus Properties, the calculations required by this Section 2.5 shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. on the Initial Closing Date. For Campus Development Properties, the calculations required by this Section 2.5 shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. on the Development Property Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date, as the case may be. The applicable time for such calculation is the “Proration Time.”

 

 

- 18 -


(b) The consideration payable by Purchaser in respect of any Campus Property shall be (i) increased by the aggregate amount of (x) all cash and cash equivalents held as of the Proration Time by the Property Entity or Development Entity that owns such Campus Property (other than those representing security deposits or other amounts that are subject to other proration or adjustment provisions in this Agreement), (y) prepaid real property taxes and assessments, and (z) any other prepaid amounts paid under the Contracts, Material Contracts or otherwise, and (ii) decreased by the aggregate amount of (x) accrued unpaid obligations in respect of water, sewage, gas, electricity and other utilities, and accrued unpaid obligations under or associated with the Contracts as of the Proration Time, (y) (1) if any real property taxes or assessments payable in respect of such property are payable after the beginning of the fiscal year to which they relate and have not been paid as of the Proration Time, or (2) if any Property Entity, Development Entity, Campus Developer, or Manager Sub or any subsidiary thereof is subject to an entity-level income, gross receipts, margin or similar tax for any Straddle Period (an “Income/Receipts Tax”), an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such taxes or assessments to be due for such period (other than any Income/Receipts Taxes payable by any Property Entity, Development Entity, Campus Developer, or Manager Sub or any subsidiary thereof as a result of the Property Transactions or the Contribution Transactions) and (B) the quotient of the number of days elapsed in such period as of the Proration Time divided by the total number of days in such period, and (z) to the extent that any Property Entity, Development Entity, Campus Developer, or Manager Sub or any subsidiary thereof is subject to Income/Receipts Taxes for any Straddle Period that will be payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.8(b), any such Income/Receipts Taxes payable by any such Property Entity, Development Entity, Campus Developer, or Manager Sub or any subsidiary thereof as a result of the Property Transactions or the Contribution Transactions.

(c) The consideration payable by Purchaser in respect of each Campus Property shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to (i) 98.5% of the product of (A) the aggregate of Allocated Per Diem Rental Income (as hereinafter defined) for each such Residential Lease multiplied by (B) the number of days in the term of such Residential Lease that occurred prior to the Proration Time, minus (ii) the aggregate of all rents, charges and other amounts actually received by Seller before the Proration Time under each Residential Lease in effect as of the Proration Time in respect of such Campus Property (but not including security deposits or other amounts that are subject to other proration or adjustment provisions in this Agreement). As used herein, “Allocated Per Diem Rental Income” means for each Residential Lease in effect as of the Proration Time, the product of (x) the aggregate of all rents, charges and other amounts payable under such Residential Lease over the entire term of such Residential Lease but not including security deposits or other amounts that are subject to other proration or adjustment provisions in this Agreement), divided by (y) the number of days in the entire term of such Residential Lease.

(d) With respect to rentals, charges and other amounts payable under each Commercial Lease, the consideration payable by Purchaser in respect of any Campus Property shall be decreased by the amount of the total rental, charges and other amounts paid to and actually received by Seller under each such Commercial Lease for or attributable to the period on and after the Proration Time.

 

- 19 -


(e) All security deposits received by Seller from any tenant under a Tenant Lease that is not held by the applicable Campus Entity as of the applicable closing hereunder shall be paid to Purchaser at the applicable closing.

(f) All accrued but unpaid interest payable under the Assumed Loans for the installment period thereunder in which the applicable closing occurs, shall be adjusted between the parties as of the applicable Proration Time. To the extent permitted by the respective Assumption Lenders, at the Initial Closing, each Property Entity shall assign to Purchaser or its designee all amounts held in accounts with such Assumption Lenders in respect of the Assumed Loans (other than with respect to a Withdrawn Property) for reserves and real estate and property insurance escrows as of the Initial Closing Date, and the Cash Consideration payable by Purchaser in respect of the applicable Property Entities shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such assigned reserves and real estate and property insurance escrows. If any Assumption Lender does not permit such assumption of reserves and escrows, then all existing reserves and escrows held by such Assumption Lender shall be paid to the owners of the applicable Property Entity (as directed by Campus), and Purchaser shall pay to such Assumption Lender such replacement reserves and escrows required by such Assumption Lender.

(g) The calculations required by this Section 2.5 shall be made by Campus and subject to Purchaser’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the real property taxes or assessments for the year of the applicable closing have not been issued prior to such closing, such taxes or assessments shall be prorated based upon 103% of the amount of the tax or assessment bill issued for the previous year, with known changes, if any. Other calculations may be based on good faith estimates if actual amounts are unknown to the parties as of the Proration Time. Once the calculations required by Section 2.5 have been made by Campus and approved by Purchaser, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, they shall not be subject to subsequent adjustment and shall be deemed final and binding on the parties, and the liability that was the subject of the applicable proration or adjustment shall not thereafter give rise to any claim for indemnification under Section 5.10 or otherwise.

Section 2.6. Assumed Mortgages. The parties intend that Property Entities will retain the Assumed Mortgages in the Transactions and continue as the obligors under the Assumed Loans in accordance with Section 5.3(d).

Section 2.7. Earnest Money. Within one Business Day after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) Purchaser shall deposit $12,500,000 (the “Earnest Money Deposit”), with Heritage Title Company of Austin, Inc. (the “Escrow Agent”), and (ii) Campus, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement in the form of Annex M (the “Escrow Agreement”). A portion of the Earnest Money Deposit equal to $750,000 (the “Non-Refundable Earnest Money Deposit”) shall be deemed fully earned by Seller as of the date of deposit with Escrow Agent and shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, and the remaining portion of the Earnest Money Deposit equal to $11,750,000 (the “Refundable Earnest Money Deposit”) shall be refundable to Purchaser as set forth in Section 2.8(b) and shall become non-refundable to Purchaser if Purchaser does not

 

- 20 -


terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 2.8(b), except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money Deposit in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be placed into an interest bearing account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit shall be paid to the party entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit. On the Initial Closing Date, the interest on the Earnest Money Deposit shall be applied against the Consideration payable at such closing.

Section 2.8. Inspection Period.

(a) Seller agrees that Purchaser shall have until that date that is 30 days after the date hereof (the “Inspection Period”) in which to make all inspections or investigations desired by Purchaser with respect to the Campus Properties or any portion thereof. In that regard Purchaser, personally or through its authorized agents or representatives, shall be entitled to enter upon the Campus Properties during regular business hours upon reasonable prior notice; provided, however, Purchaser shall give Campus not less than one Business Day’s notice prior to the inspection if it desires to see the interior of any improvements which are occupied by tenants in order to permit Seller to make appropriate arrangements for such inspection. Seller agrees to allow Purchaser personally, or through its duly authorized agents or representatives, to inspect and make copies of all books, records, operating statements, leases and such service contracts, franchise agreements and franchise materials, if any, construction contracts, employment agreements, assessments (special or otherwise), ad valorem and personal property tax bills and statements, utility bills, insurance policies, building permits, certificates of occupancy, notices or correspondence from governmental entities or tenants, and related items as are in Seller’s possession or readily available, and Purchaser, or its authorized agents or representatives, shall have the right to make such investigations of the Campus Properties and Seller and aforesaid items as Purchaser reasonably may request, so long as Purchaser’s activities do not (i) cause physical damage or business disruption or (ii) involve boring, drilling, the taking of core samples or excavation. Following the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall continue to have the right to enter upon the Campus Properties (after appropriate notice as set forth above) to conduct additional inspections of the Campus Properties notwithstanding the fact that the Inspection Period (and rights of termination of this Agreement pursuant to such Inspection Period) may have expired. Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any and all loss, cost, expense, damage, liability, action or cause of action arising from (i) any physical property damage caused by Purchaser in the course of any inspection, study or investigation by Purchaser, (ii) any injury to persons caused by Purchaser in the course of such inspection, study or investigation and (iii) any mechanics or materialmen’s liens placed upon or against the Campus Properties or any portion thereof as a result of such inspection, study or investigation by Purchaser. Purchaser’s indemnity obligations shall survive each of the closings provided for in this Agreement or termination of this Agreement.

(b) If, within the Inspection Period, Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, judgment and opinion, approves or is satisfied with all of the Reviewable Matters, then Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller. If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall be terminated, and the Non-Refundable Earnest Money Deposit shall be immediately disbursed to Campus and the Refundable Earnest Money Deposit, and all accrued interest on the Earnest Money Deposit, shall be immediately returned to Purchaser whereupon this Agreement automatically shall be terminated.

(c) If Seller does not obtain an Investor Approval with respect to any Campus Property for which an Investor Approval is required, such Campus Property shall be a “Non-Approved Property.” If the aggregate Assigned Price of all Non-Approved Properties as of the end of the Inspection Period is equal to or greater than $100,000,000, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller on or before the second Business Day after the end of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser duly sends such notice on or before the second Business Day after the end of the Inspection Period, the entire Earnest Money Deposit, and all accrued interest thereon, shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for 50% of all out-of-pocket third party expenses (including legal fees incurred during the Inspection Period) incurred by Purchaser during the Inspection Period in connection with Purchaser’s inspections of the Campus Properties during the Inspection Period in an amount not to exceed $750,000, whereupon this Agreement automatically shall be terminated. The parties agree that notwithstanding the fact that Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser has engaged a consultant to conduct certain property condition assessments prior to the date hereof, the entire expense of such consultant in respect of services performed before the end of the Inspection Period in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Campus Properties shall be deemed to be out-of-pocket third party expenses incurred by Purchaser during the Inspection Period.

(d) During the Inspection Period, Campus and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to achieve a resolution reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser in respect of avoiding or mitigating exposure to the wrongful death claim disclosed in Section 3.6 of the Campus Disclosure Letter. The parties anticipate that such resolution may include settlement of the claim as it affects Seller; additional insurance or indemnification; or a change in the structure of the transaction that causes no material loss of value to Purchaser (such as a transfer of the affected property by deed, with the benefit of title insurance, that is not reasonably expected to produce a change in the property tax expense of the property that is materially worse for the owner than would have resulted from the merger structure otherwise applicable hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the expiration of the Inspection Period Campus and Purchaser have failed to achieve a resolution pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(d), each of the Existing Campus Properties owned by Campus Investors 217 Welch, LLC and Campus Investors IS, LLC shall be a Withdrawn Property.

Section 2.9. Condemnation. In the event of a Material Taking of any Campus Property, Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole option, to either (a) treat such Campus Property as a Withdrawn Property and, if an Existing Campus Property, require Seller to divest such Existing Campus Property, if required, pursuant to Section 2.4(d) or, if a Development Campus Property, have no obligation to consummate a Development Property Merger related thereto, in each case by giving Seller written notice to such effect within 10 days after its receipt of written notification of any such occurrence or (b) consummate an Existing Property Merger with respect to such Existing Campus Property or a Development Property Merger with respect to such Campus Development Property. The term “Material Taking” as to any Campus Property or any portion thereof means the institution of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, by a Governmental Entity which (a) causes all access to such Campus Property to be taken or

 

- 22 -


materially diminished (i.e., following such taking such Campus Property no longer has access to a publicly dedicated street or traffic flow from and to such Campus Property is materially impaired), (b) results in parking no longer being in compliance with applicable zoning laws (except that legal non-conforming parking shall be deemed in compliance) if no alternative parking is reasonably available, or (c) results in the cost to repair or restore the affected Campus Property (as reasonably estimated in good faith and net of any award or damages payable in respect of such Taking) following such Taking to be equal to or in excess of the Casualty/Condemnation Cap for such Campus Property.

Section 2.10. Casualties.

(a) If all or any portion of any Campus Property (each, a “Damaged Property”) is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty (a “Casualty”), Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof (the “Casualty Notice”) to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Major Casualty, a Campus Property shall not be a Withdrawn Property if (i) the damage resulting from the Casualty is covered by the Insurance Policies (subject only to the applicable deductible) or by funds that Seller commits to provide by way of a credit against the applicable Assigned Price, (ii) subject to the rights of any Assumption Lenders, the proceeds of any applicable Insurance Policy, less any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller to settle any insurance claims and obtain such insurance proceeds and to effect any repair or restoration made to such Campus Property prior to the applicable closing, shall be paid, or the rights thereto assigned, to Purchaser at the applicable closing, (iii) all unpaid claims and rights in connection with the Casualty shall be assigned to Purchaser at the applicable closing, (iv) there is rent interruption insurance in place for a period of at least six months sufficient to cover any anticipated loss in revenue from the Damaged Property resulting from such Casualty (excluding any Campus Development Property not yet occupied), and (v) there is no known material impediment to obtaining all governmental approvals to permit the Damaged Property to be rebuilt or repaired substantially to its condition prior to such Casualty. Upon the occurrence of a Major Casualty, if any provision set forth in the preceding sentence is not satisfied, Purchaser may elect to treat the Damaged Property as a Withdrawn Property by written notice to Seller within 10 days after receipt of the Casualty Notice.

(b) If a Campus Property is the subject of a Major Casualty but Purchaser either is not entitled to or does not elect to treat such Damaged Property as a Withdrawn Property pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.10(a), then Seller shall prior to the applicable closing cause all temporary repairs to be made to the Damaged Property as shall in Seller’s reasonable judgment be required to prevent further deterioration and damage to the Damaged Property and to protect public health and safety.

(c) If a Campus Property is the subject of a Casualty which is not a Major Casualty, such Campus Property shall not be a Withdrawn Property, and (i) subject to the rights of any Assumption Lenders, the proceeds of any applicable Insurance Policies, less any costs and expenses incurred by Seller to settle any insurance claims and obtain such insurance proceeds and to effect any repair or restoration made to such Campus Property prior to the applicable closing shall be paid to Purchaser at the applicable closing, and (b) all unpaid claims and rights in connection with the Casualty shall be assigned to Purchaser at the applicable closing without in any manner affecting the Consideration payable to Seller hereunder.

Section 2.11. Withdrawn Property. A “Withdrawn Property” shall be (a) any Non-Approved Property, (b) any Existing Campus Property identified as a “Withdrawn Property” pursuant to Section 2.8(d), Section 2.9, 2.10, 5.3(d) or 6.1(a)(i) and (c) any Campus Property with respect to which a Campus Property Material Adverse Effect has occurred; provided that Purchaser has given written notice to Seller of such Campus Property Material Adverse Effect within 10 days after Purchaser obtains Knowledge thereof and subject to Seller’s right to cure such Campus Property Material Adverse Effect and Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Initial Closing for a reasonable period not exceeding the earlier of (A) 30 days, and an additional 30 days to cure any such Campus Property Material Adverse Effect if Seller is diligently pursuing the cure thereof (provided that if such adjournment would result in the Initial Closing occurring during the Blackout Period, Seller may adjourn the Initial Closing to any date occurring prior to the Termination Date), or (B) the Termination Date for the purpose of allowing Seller the opportunity to effectuate such cure (to the extent such cure is reasonably capable of being effected during such period), and if such cure is not effected on or prior to the end of such period, Purchaser may elect to waive such matter or treat such Campus Property as a Withdrawn Property. In the event any Existing Campus Property becomes a Withdrawn Property, Section 3.4 of the Campus Disclosure Letter shall be revised to delete the Assumed Mortgage associated with such Withdrawn Property from the definition of Required Consents, Annex A and Annex B shall be revised to delete the Withdrawn Property, and Annex B shall be revised to delete the allocated amount of Net Student Rent therefor, (x) an amount equal to the Assigned Price for such Withdrawn Property shall be deducted from the Consideration and no amount of Consideration thereafter shall be payable in respect of such Property and (y) an amount equal to 5% of the Assigned Price for such Withdrawn Property shall be deducted from the Consideration payable in respect of the Contribution Transactions. In the event that prior to the Initial Closing, the aggregate number of Withdrawn Properties is greater than three or the aggregate Assigned Price of all Withdrawn Properties is greater than $80,000,000 (the “Floor Amount”), this Agreement may be terminated in its entirety at the election of Purchaser by written notice given to Seller; provided, however, that if there are any Non-Approved Properties, the Floor Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $40,000,000 and (ii) the excess of $100,000,000 over the aggregate Assigned Price of all Non-Approved Properties. Purchaser’s termination rights provided for in the preceding sentence shall be exercisable only within the 10 days following the date on which the right first becomes available and may not be exercised after the Initial Closing.

Section 2.12. Tax Treatment.

(a) The parties intend and agree that each of the Designated Property Transactions (as defined below) shall constitute an “assets over” partnership merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i). As a result, (i) except as described in clause (iii) below and subject to the further provisions hereof, the receipt of the Cash Consideration by each holder of an Equity Interest in a Designated Entity shall be treated as a sale by such holder of such Equity Interest and a purchase of such Equity Interest by the Purchaser OP (“Interest Sale Treatment”); (ii) immediately after the transfers described in clause (i) above, each Designated Entity shall be treated as contributing all of its assets to the Purchaser OP in exchange for the relevant portion of the Unit Consideration in a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code and liquidating and distributing such Unit Consideration to its partners or members; and (iii) any Cash Consideration received by a holder

 

- 24 -


of an Equity Interest in a Designated Entity who also receives Unit Consideration shall be treated as a reimbursement of capital expenditures to the maximum extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d), provided that such Designated Entity provides Buyer with a detailed description of the nature, amount and timing of such capital expenditures together with any further materials or back-up data requested by Purchaser and reasonably necessary to substantiate the nature, amount and timing of such capital expenditures, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. It shall be a condition precedent to Interest Sale Treatment with regard to any particular holder of an Equity Interest in a Designated Entity that the merger agreement with respect to such Designated Entity provides that each holder of an Equity Interest in such Designated Entity shall be deemed to consent to Interest Sale Treatment with regard to its Equity Interest in the Designated Entity by accepting the Cash Consideration in exchange for such Equity Interest.

(b) To the extent that a DE Entity would otherwise be engaging in a DE Property Transaction (as defined below) pursuant to a Merger described in Section 2.1, or to the extent that a Merger described in Section 2.1 would be treated as a sale of all of the interests of a disregarded entity pursuant to Section 2.12(d) and would result in additional expenses or transaction costs to Seller or its direct or indirect owners, Seller may cause the interests in such DE Entity to be distributed to the ultimate indirect holders of Equity Interests in such DE Entity so that such DE Entity can be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and a Designated Property Transaction or a transaction treated under Section 2.12(d) as the sale of partnership interests can be accomplished with respect to such DE Entity. In this regard, Purchaser and Purchaser OP agree to reasonably cooperate with Seller in effectuating any such distribution (provided that Seller shall be solely responsible for any costs, liabilities or expenses relating thereto).

(c) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties intend and agree that each of the DE Contribution Transactions (as defined below) shall be treated as a contribution of the assets held by the DE Contributor Entity to Purchaser OP in return for the relevant portion of the Unit Consideration in a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code.

(d) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties intend and agree that each of the Property Transactions that is neither a Designated Property Transaction, a DE Property Transaction, nor a DE Contribution Transaction shall be treated as (i) a sale of the interests in the relevant Property Entity or Development Entity, as applicable, by the owners of such interests in exchange for the Cash Consideration payable with respect to such interests and (ii) a purchase of the assets of such Property Entity or Development Entity by Purchaser, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 99-6.

(e) For U.S. federal income tax purposes the parties intend and agree that the Contribution Transactions shall be treated as a contribution by the Manager and Campus Developer Owner to Purchaser OP of the assets held by Manager Sub and Campus Developer, respectively, in exchange for the Contribution Transactions Unit Consideration in a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code.

Section 5.9. Resignations. Seller shall cause the officers of the Property Entities, the Development Entities, Manager Sub and Campus Developer to deliver resignations from each such position effective as of the time of the applicable closing.

(a) After the Initial Closing, subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth herein, Campus agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Purchaser, Purchaser OP, Purchaser Merger Sub and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives and Affiliates (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses (but not for any indirect or consequential loss or for any diminution in value), losses, obligations, liabilities, damages, expenses, claims, lawsuits, deficiencies and demands (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (“Damages”), incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Sections 3.3, 3.9(a), (b), (c) and (f), 3.14, 3.17 or 3.20 or the last sentence of Section 3.9(e); (ii) any fraudulent material misrepresentation or fraudulent material omission in any representation or warranty made by Seller in Sections 3.7 or 3.5(c); (iii) any claim made by any present or former member, partner or investor in Campus Developer, the Manager or any Property Entity or Development Entity (x) that is based on any actual or alleged act or omission on the part of the general partner or managing member (or the equivalent) of Campus Developer, Manager Sub or any such Property Entity or Development Entity, including breach of fiduciary duties (including duties of disclosure) relating to (1) matters arising prior to the merger of such entity provided for herein or (2) the Transactions (including without limitation, the solicitation of consents in respect of the Transactions, the allocation of the Consideration, the determination of Assigned Price or the negotiation of the terms of the

 

- 50 -


Transactions) or (y) that is based on the failure of any such present or former member, partner or investor in Campus Developer, Manager Sub or any Property Entity or Development Entity to obtain its desired Tax treatment or consequences with regard to the Property Transactions or Contribution Transactions (other than any such failure that is caused by a breach of this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement by Purchaser); or (iv) the failure by Campus Developer or any of its Affiliates to comply with any covenant or agreement set forth in Sections 5.8(b) or (d). After the Initial Closing, Campus Developer, Manager Sub and the Property Entities shall not be Seller Indemnified Parties. After a Development Entity consummates a merger as provided for herein, it shall not be a Seller Indemnified Party.

(b) Purchaser agrees to jointly and severally indemnify, save and hold harmless Seller and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives and Affiliates (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.6 or 4.10; or (ii) the failure of Purchaser to comply with any covenant or agreement set forth in Section 5.8(b) or (d).

(c) Each Purchaser Indemnified Party and Seller Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with each indemnifying party and its representatives (including without limitation its attorneys) in the investigation, trial and defense of any lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in negotiations, arbitrations and the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d) If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the indemnifying party, the party claiming such indemnification shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable after the party entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.10. Such Claim Notice shall specify the nature and amount of the Claim asserted, if actually known to the party entitled to indemnification hereunder. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit or indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event with 15 calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action and it is not reasonably foreseeable that the limitations set forth in this Section 5.10 as to the amount or scope of indemnification will result in the indemnified party being exposed to the risk of any significant unindemnified liability arising from the matters covered by such lawsuit or action, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding (including any impleaded

 

- 51 -


parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in which event the indemnifying party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within 15 calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the indemnified party against such Claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event the indemnified party assumes the defense of the Claim, the indemnified party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 5.10 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e) Except as set forth in Section 5.10(h), it shall be a condition precedent to any indemnified party’s right to indemnification under Sections 5.10(a) or 5.10(b) that (i) the event giving rise to such claim for indemnification shall have occurred before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period and (ii) the indemnified party shall have delivered a Claim Notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.10(d), before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

(f) In the event that any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder from an indemnifying party, the amount of such indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.10 (the “Indemnification Amount”) shall be immediately due and payable. To any extent any indemnifying party fails to pay the Indemnification Amount within 10 Business Days of a final determination, the Indemnification Amount shall accrue interest for the benefit of the indemnified party at a rate per annum equal to 12%, compounded monthly, until paid.

(g) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement in respect of holdbacks to cover Claims made by Purchaser pursuant to a Claim Notice delivered prior to the date that is six months after the Initial Closing, on the date that is six months after the Initial Closing, the Retained Amount and all earnings thereon shall be released by the Indemnity Escrow Agent to Campus on such date.

(h) The indemnification obligations of Campus set forth in clause (i) of Section 5.10(a) shall terminate at the end of the applicable Survival Period and the indemnification obligations of Purchaser set forth Section 5.10(b) shall terminate at the end of the applicable Survival Period; provided, however, that if a Claim Notice has been delivered prior to the expiration of the Survival Period with respect to any such matter but the Claim has not yet been resolved as of the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, then such indemnification obligation shall survive (but only in respect of such Claim) until such Claim has been finally resolved as provided in this Section 5.10.

 

- 52 -


(i) No amounts of indemnity shall be payable as a result of any claim arising under Section 5.10(a) unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to Damages referred to in that clause in excess of $750,000 (the “Basket”) in the aggregate, in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may bring a claim for all Damages. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of any payment made as a result of a claim arising under Section 5.10(a) shall be net of any amounts recoverable under insurance policies by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. The maximum liability of Campus under Section 5.10(a), Section 5.8(b) and Section 5.8(d) shall not exceed $12,500,000 in the aggregate.

(j) No amounts of indemnity shall be payable as a result of any claim arising under Section 5.10(b) unless and until the Seller Indemnified Parties have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to Damages referred to in that clause in excess of the Basket in the aggregate, in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may bring a claim for all Damages. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of any payment made as a result of a claim arising under Section 5.10(b) shall be net of any amounts recoverable under insurance policies by Seller or any of its Affiliates. The maximum liability of Purchaser under Section 5.10(b) shall not exceed $12,500,000 in the aggregate.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 5.10 and Section 7.2 together contain the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser or Seller with respect to a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.

(l) No Claim may be made under this Section 5.10 in respect of any cost, expense, liability or Tax that was the subject of proration or adjustment under Article II; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit any claim based on a breach of Section 5.8(b) or Section 5.8(d).

(m) The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall survive each of the closings provided for in this Agreement.

Section 5.11. Investor Representations. Seller agrees that it will be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to deliver Purchaser OP Units to any Recipient that such Recipient shall have executed and delivered to Purchaser a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex K and an executed counterpart of the Purchaser OP Agreement Joinder and the Tax Matters Agreement. Any Recipient that fails to deliver any such instrument or agreement shall receive cash in lieu of Purchaser OP Units. Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall relieve Seller of the obligation set forth in Section 2.4(a)(iii) to receive Unit Consideration on the Initial Closing Date in an amount not less than an aggregate of $5,000,000.

Section 5.12. Rental Income Guarantees.

(a) Within five Business Days after October 15, 2012 (the “Residential Rental Test Date”), assets held pursuant to the Rental Guarantee Escrow Agreement having a value of $5,000,000 (for purposes of this Section, Purchaser OP Units shall have the same value allocated pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii)) shall be released and paid (i) to Purchaser, in an amount equal to the Residential Rental Shortfall (if any) and (ii) the balance to Campus.

(b) by either Seller or Purchaser by written notice delivered to the other party, if:

(i) the Initial Closing has not occurred on or before October 31, 2012 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, or materially contributed to, the failure to hold the Initial Closing on or before the Termination Date; or

(ii) if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree, ruling or other action the party terminating this Agreement shall use reasonable efforts to lift) permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting any of the Transactions and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that if such order, decree, ruling or other action is limited to one or more Campus Properties, such properties shall be Withdrawn Properties and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11, the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available;

(c) by Seller, if Seller is not in material breach of this Agreement, by written notice to Purchaser, if there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement by Purchaser or Purchaser shall have failed to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and Purchaser shall have failed within 30 days after notice thereof from Campus to cure such breach or failure, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) would be incapable of being satisfied by the Termination Date;
