INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 11, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), is between MCLEAN SFR HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and AVHS SFR II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and, solely for the purpose set forth in of Section 7.8, ARLINGTON ASSET INVESTMENT CORP., a Virginia corporation (“Parent”).

RECITALS

A. Seller owns 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests (the “Interests”) of McLean SFR Equity, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Equity Owner”).

B. Equity Owner owns 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests (the “Property Owner Interests”) of McLean SFR Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Property Owner” and together with Equity Owner, the “Acquired Companies”).

C. As of the Effective Date, Property Owner owns the Properties (as defined herein).

D. Seller desires to sell the Interests to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase the Interests, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Article I
PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 1.1. Purchase and Sale of the Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Interests to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase the Interests from Seller, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the sum of (a) $87,330,000.00 (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus (or minus, as the case may be) (b) the dollar value of the Prorated Amount as provided in Section 1.4 hereof (the Base Purchase Price, as adjusted by the Prorated Amount, is referred to as the “Purchase Price”). The Settlement Statement executed at the Closing shall state clause (a) above as the scheduled total consideration and clause (b) above as adjustments.

Section 1.2. Earnest Money. For the purpose of securing the performance of Buyer under the terms and provisions of this Agreement and as a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder, Buyer shall deliver to First American Title Insurance Company, 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2700, Chicago, IL 60602, c/o James McIntosh, ***@***, (312) 917-7220 (the “Escrow Agent”), by wire transfer in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by Escrow Agent, within one (1) Business Day after execution of this Agreement, an earnest money deposit of Eight Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,700,000.00)

(together with all interest accrued thereon, the “Earnest Money”). The Earnest Money shall be held in accordance with the escrow agreement in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, which shall be executed and delivered by the Parties simultaneously herewith and which shall be accepted by the Escrow Agent. All interest accruing on the Earnest Money deposited under this Agreement shall become a part of and be added to the Earnest Money so that it shall be subject to disbursement or application in the same manner as is the principal of the Earnest Money. If Escrow Agent shall deposit the Earnest Money in an interest bearing account at a bank or savings institution, all interest accrued thereon shall be reported under Buyer’s federal tax identification number. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement related to the return of the Earnest Money, the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable to Buyer. If the Closing is not consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer or delivered to Seller as provided in Article VIII. If the Closing is consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller and applied to the Purchase Price as a credit to Buyer. The Parties intend that, prior to the Closing, Buyer shall be treated for U.S. federal (and corresponding state and local) income Tax purposes as the owner of the Earnest Money and all interest and any other income recognized with respect to the Earnest Money, and the Parties shall not take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such intent except as required by law. Buyer’s deposit of the Earnest Money with the Escrow Agent within the prescribed time period is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement; and, if Buyer fails to deliver the Earnest Money to the Escrow Agent within the time prescribed, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Section 1.3. Closing; Pre-Closing.

(a) The sale and purchase of the Interests shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on or before December 1, 2022 (such date on which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) through an escrow established by the Escrow Agent and confirmed either by telephone or by letter or email as the Parties shall agree, in writing, or conducted in person, at such place as the Parties shall agree, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in Article VI of this Agreement. The Closing shall be effective at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller (which may be delivered through the Escrow Agent) (i) an amount equal to the Purchase Price, in immediately available funds in United States dollars, which amount shall be credited with the amount of the Earnest Money, (ii) the Buyer’s Secretary’s Certificate, (iii) the Buyer’s Officer’s Certificate, (iv) any and all change of control or real estate transfer tax forms, if required by the Applicable Law of the jurisdictions in which the Properties are located, executed by Buyer, (v) an assignment of the Interests executed by Buyer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Interest Assignment”) and (vi) the Settlement Statement executed by Buyer (collectively, the “Buyer Deliverables”).

(c) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (which may be delivered through the Escrow Agent) (i) the Seller’s Secretary’s Certificate, (ii) the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate, (iii) a duly executed IRS Form W-9 of Seller (or, if Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Person treated as the owner of the Interests for such purposes), (iv) the Interest Assignment executed by Seller, (v) written resignations of each manager and officer of each of the Acquired Companies in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Buyer, (vi)

any and all change of control and real estate transfer tax forms, if required by the Applicable Law of the jurisdictions in which the Properties are located, executed by Seller, Equity Owner or Property Owner, as applicable, and (vii) the Settlement Statement executed by Seller (collectively, the “Seller Deliverables,” and together with the Buyer Deliverables, the “Closing Deliverables”).

(d) Upon the Closing, Seller shall make available to Buyer, to the extent not previously delivered to Buyer as part of the Due Diligence Materials prior to the date hereof, and to the extent within the possession or control of Seller or the Acquired Companies, originals of all leases with respect to the Properties (the “Leases”) that will be in effect after the Closing, copies of all contracts and agreements relating to the Properties or the Acquired Companies (“Service Contracts”) that will be in effect after the Closing, copies any agreements to purchase the Properties set forth on Exhibit A-2, copies of all material tenant correspondence, material correspondence with Governmental Authorities and material correspondence with owners associations, billing files and records for the Properties, plans, specifications, licenses and permits, keys, keycards and security codes and the like with respect to the Properties, and an electronic file of all resident and tenant ledgers with respect to the Properties, although Seller will be entitled to retain a copy of same for purposes relating to this Agreement and for its audit, financial and Tax recordkeeping purposes. Seller acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, Buyer will be entitled to possession of all material books and records of the Acquired Companies (but not any books and records of any other entities), although Seller will be entitled to retain a copy of same for purposes relating to this Agreement and for its audit, financial and Tax recordkeeping purposes, and the Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other after the Closing in arranging for the efficient partitioning, transfer and copying of such books and records, which shall be performed as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing. After the Closing, Seller will promptly forward to Buyer at its address set forth herein any written correspondence that Seller receives from Governmental Authorities or owners associations relating to the Properties.

Section 1.4. Prorations; Costs. At the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall make certain prorations and other adjustments with respect to paid rents, security deposits, reserve accounts, property taxes and assessments, and other items of income and expense as set forth in this Section 1.4 and in Section 1.5. The items set forth in this Section 1.4 shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Closing Date being a day of income and expense to Buyer. The net amount owed to Seller or Buyer (the “Prorated Amount”), as applicable, shall increase the Purchase Price if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller or reduce the Purchase Price if the prorations result in a net credit to Buyer. Post-closing re-prorations and adjustments shall be paid in cash.

(a) Ad Valorem Taxes and Assessments. Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any accrued but unpaid real estate taxes exclusive of special assessments (“Ad Valorem Taxes”) imposed against any of the Properties and that are due and payable before the Closing Date. If the amount of any such Ad Valorem Taxes have not been determined as of the Closing Date, such credit shall be based on one hundred percent (100%) of the most recent ascertainable taxes. Such Ad Valorem Taxes shall be re-prorated upon issuance of the final tax bill. Buyer shall receive a credit against any portion of the Purchase Price for any special assessments which are levied or charged against any of the Properties with respect to any infrastructure improvements specifically made to serve the Properties, whether or not then due and payable. Any other special assessments shall be prorated only for the year of Closing.

(b) Rents. All Rents (as hereinafter defined) paid or payable by tenants under the Leases in connection with their occupancy of the Properties shall be adjusted and prorated on an “if, as and when collected” basis. Seller shall be entitled to all Rents under the Leases attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents under the Leases attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date, including the day of Closing. All rental checks from tenants actually received by or on behalf of Seller at or prior to the Closing shall be deemed collected by Seller for purposes of this Section 1.4(b). All prepaid Rents for periods of occupancy after Closing shall be credited to Buyer at Closing. Any Rents collected by Buyer or Seller after the Closing from any tenant who owes Rents for periods prior to the Closing shall be applied (i) first, in payment of Rents owed by such tenant for the month in which the Closing occurs, (ii) second, in payment of current Rents at the time of receipt, (iii) third, to delinquent Rents, if any, which became due after the Closing, and (iv) third, to delinquent Rents, if any, which became due and payable prior to the Closing or otherwise attributable to the period prior to the Closing. “Rents” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean (whether paid in advance of the date when such payment is due or otherwise) (x) all fixed rents and (y) other charges or amounts payable by tenants under the Leases or in connection with their use or occupancy of the Properties or any service or amenity relating thereto, including water, electricity, gas, sewage or other utilities charges or other pass-through fees and charges.

(c) With respect to each Property set forth on Exhibit A-2, to the extent the acquisition of such Property has not closed prior to the Closing, Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the contract purchase price for such Property and Seller will receive a credit for the amount of the earnest money deposit already paid by Property Owner for such Property, in each case as set forth on Exhibit A-2.

(d) Contracts. Amounts due under the Service Contracts will be prorated as of the Closing Date with Buyer to receive a credit at Closing for any amounts unpaid and attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date and Seller to receive a credit at Closing for any amounts previously paid and attributable to the period on and following the Closing Date.

(e) Security Deposits. The actual amounts of any Security Deposits that are refundable to tenants pursuant to the terms of the Leases (“Refundable Security Deposits”) and have not been applied by Seller prior to the Closing Date, if any, shall be credited to Buyer against the balance of the Purchase Price at Closing. Any such Refundable Security Deposits in a form other than cash (including letters of credit) shall be transferred to Buyer on the Closing Date by way of appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment; provided, that in the event any such Refundable Security Deposit is not assignable, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to provide Buyer with a replacement therefor for the benefit and at the sole expense of Buyer.

(f) Insurance Proceeds. Seller shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds related to insurance claims made prior to the date hereof with respect to the Property located at XXX XXX , XXX, XX, XXXXX.

(g) Other Expenses. All other items of income and expenses for the Properties shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(h) Post-Closing Corrections. Either Seller or Buyer shall be entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect proration or adjustment, provided such adjustment is claimed by such party within ninety (90) days after Closing. The provisions of this Section 1.4 shall survive Closing.

Section 1.5. Procedures for Prorations.

(a) Settlement Statement. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a schedule of tentative prorations with all detail and supporting information in accordance with Sections 1.4 and 1.5. All prorations and adjustments shall be based on the best available information. In the event that accurate prorations and other adjustments cannot be made at the Closing because current bills or statements are not obtainable (as, for example, utility bills), the Parties shall prorate and adjust based on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or statement. A copy of the schedule of prorations and adjustments (the “Settlement Statement”) as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller shall be executed by the Parties at the Closing.

(b) Final Settlement. A final settlement (the “Final Settlement”) of the Closing prorations and adjustments required by Section 1.4 shall take place no later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date. Buyer shall deliver a schedule of the prorations and adjustments (the “Final Statement”) to Seller setting forth Buyer’s determination of all adjustments to the Settlement Statement it believes are necessary to correct the prorations and adjustments as reflected in the Settlement Statement, which Final Settlement shall be accompanied with all detail and supporting information. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to reconcile all items included on the Final Statement. For a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Final Statement and supporting information, Seller shall have the right to review the Final Statement and supporting information reasonably requested by Seller. The Final Statement shall be binding and conclusive on all Parties hereto, unless within such fifteen (15) day review period, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it seeks an adjustment in the Final Statement, and specifies in reasonable detail the items that it seeks to adjust and the reasons therefor. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to attempt to resolve such dispute; however, if Buyer and Seller have not resolved the request for adjustment within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the original notice by Seller to Buyer, then the Parties shall submit such dispute to a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller (who shall have no material relationship with Seller or Buyer). In making their calculation, the firm of independent accountants will include the non-disputed items and amounts set forth in each Parties’ calculation of the Final Statement, and shall consider affirming or adjusting only those items or amounts in the calculation of the Final Statement as to which the Parties have disagreed and any items and amounts affected by those disputed items and amounts. The determination of such accounting firm, which shall be made within thirty (30) days after submission, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid equally by Seller and Buyer. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Final Statement is agreed to or otherwise becomes binding, Seller shall pay to Buyer, or Buyer shall pay to Seller, as applicable, the amount to which it is entitled under the Final Statement.

Section 1.6. Tax Treatment of Sale. The purchase and sale of the Interests shall be treated, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, as the purchase and sale of

the assets of Equity Owner (the “Purchased Assets”) (such treatment, the “Agreed Tax Treatment”), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 1.7. Withholding. Buyer, Escrow Agent and their designees shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts that may be or are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under Applicable Law; provided, that Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to, and shall consult with, Seller if it believes that any amount is required to be deducted and withheld under Applicable Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, then such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Article II
INVESTIGATIONS

Section 2.1. Access to Properties. From and after the Effective Date, Buyer and Buyer’s employees and representatives (including third party independent contractors) shall have no right to access or inspect the Properties.

Section 2.2. Available Documents. Prior to the Closing, to the extent not previously delivered to Buyer prior to the date hereof as part of the Due Diligence Materials, Seller (i) shall make available to Buyer documentation, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer and in the reasonable possession and control of Seller, relating to the ownership, operation, assets, liabilities and maintenance of the Properties and the Acquired Companies and (ii) will reasonably cooperate with Buyer, at no cost to Seller, to make available to Buyer reports, files or other documents related to the Properties and the Acquired Companies which are in the possession or control of the Seller or the Acquired Companies. For avoidance of doubt, if Buyer shall request in writing tenant or resident information from Seller in addition to what Seller has otherwise already provided to Buyer as part of the Due Diligence Materials, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Buyer’s requests; provided, however, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be required to provide any information that (a) is proprietary in nature, (b) is protected by privacy laws, (c) is subject to a confidentiality agreement or other agreement limiting or prohibiting the distribution of such information, and/or (d) would violate attorney-client privilege or constitute a waiver of rights as to attorney work product or attorney-client privileged communications if disclosed. Seller shall promptly instruct, in writing (which may be via email), the Manager to furnish or make available to Buyer all information, reports, files or other documents related to the Properties and the Acquired Companies which are in the possession or control of the Manager, excluding any such items that Seller is not required to provide pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) of the immediately preceding sentence. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer shall either destroy or return to Seller any studies, reports or other documents previously supplied to Buyer by Seller.

Section 2.3. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS OF SELLER SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN ARTICLE II OF ANNEX A AND/OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY SELLER, AT THE CLOSING, SELLER HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, GUARANTY OR

BUYER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE AGREEMENTS OF SELLER HEREIN, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SPECIFIED IN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER CONTAINED IN ARTICLE III OF THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR IN ARTICLE II OF ANNEX A, SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES OR THE DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THE INTERESTS, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING CONDITION, HABITABILITY, SUITABILITY, QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION, WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT RELYING UPON ANY ORAL STATEMENT OR REPRESENTATION MADE BY SELLER, ANY BROKER OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER CONTAINED IN ARTICLE III HEREIN AND IN ARTICLE II OF ANNEX A.

Section 5.5. Confidentiality and Standstill Period.

(a) Each of the Parties shall, until the expiration of one (1) year after the Closing Date, hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, in strict confidence all Confidential Information except that either Party may disclose the Confidential Information to its Representatives and any employee or Affiliate of the foregoing provided, however, that each such Person is directed to keep the same confidential. In the event that a Party is requested or required by Applicable Law or Governmental Authority to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party will provide the other Party with prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order, provided, however, that the foregoing notice obligation shall not apply with respect to routine regulatory examinations and inquiries or to any filings required under the Securities Act or similar laws. If, in the absence of entry of a protective order, a Party is required to disclose Confidential Information, such Party may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that the Party is required to disclose and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed. In any event, neither Party will oppose action by the other Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Further, no press releases shall be issued by either Party prior to the Closing, and Seller and Buyer will each have the right to approve any press release of the other Party issued after the Closing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, unless required by Applicable Law (including the Securities Act and similar laws), in no event shall such press release disclose the Purchase Price, any material terms of this Agreement or the identity of Buyer or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Buyer or disclose the Purchase Price, any material terms of this Agreement or identify Seller or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.

(b) Seller will not, at any time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the earliest of (i) the Closing, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement, market for sale all or any portion of the

Interests in any way or solicit proposals from or enter into or continue with negotiations with any other person or entity regarding the possible sale of the Interests, the Acquired Companies or any of their businesses or assets (including, directly or indirectly, the Properties).

Section 5.6. Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in obtaining) MetLife Approval, including having Parent released as guarantor under the Loan Documents and having a Buyer Affiliate approved as replacement guarantor under the Loan Documents.

Section 5.7. UCC Policy. Buyer shall have the right to obtain from a reputable title company a commitment to issue to Buyer upon Closing a buyer’s UCC insurance title policy, dated as of the date of the Closing, insuring Buyer’s ownership (together with any subsidiary of Buyer which acquires the Interests, as applicable) of one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding equity interest in the Acquired Companies in the amount of the Purchase Price, free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens, claims, proxies and voting or other agreements of any kind or nature. Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to obtain such UCC insurance title policy, including providing any documents and affidavits to the title company as requested; provided that Buyer shall bear all costs and expenses related to such UCC insurance title policy and shall reimburse Seller for any actual, documented out of pocket costs incurred in cooperation with such requests.

delivered pursuant hereto that are qualified by the term “material” and similar terms shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof and the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties that are made as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of such specified date), subject, in each case, to Seller’s right to update such representations and warranties as described below in this paragraph (a). Seller shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied in all material respects with all covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing. Buyer shall have received from Seller a certificate to the effect set forth in the preceding sentences, signed by a duly authorized officer thereof (the “Seller’s Officer’s Certificate”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to update its representations and warranties as of only the Closing Date in the Seller’s Officer’s Certificate to reflect any events that occurred since the Effective Date so long as such events do not constitute a default by Seller of its express covenants under this Agreement and such updating does not result in a material adverse change in the Seller’s representations and warranties; provided, however, for avoidance of doubt, if such updating by Seller discloses a default by Seller of its express covenants under this Agreement or results in a material adverse change in the Seller’s representations and warranties, then subject to any notice and cure rights of Seller set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or (e) of this Agreement.

(b) Secretary’s Certificate.

Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding that is commenced or has been threatened before the Closing, and risk of loss to each Property due to fire, flood, or any other cause before Closing, will remain with Seller. If after the date hereof and before Closing a Property or any portion thereof is Materially Damaged (as set forth below), or if a Property or any portion thereof is subjected to a threat of condemnation or becomes the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative, or otherwise,

with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation, then Seller will promptly provide written notice to Buyer. Within five (5) days after Buyer learns of the damage or taking, Buyer may exclude the affected Property by delivering to Seller a written notice of such exclusion and the total Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by an amount agreed upon by Buyer and Seller in writing. If the Closing Date is within this five (5) day period, the Closing will be extended to the next Business Day following the end of such period.

If after the date hereof and before Closing, a Property or any portion thereof is damaged by casualty, but not Materially Damaged, or to the extent the Loan Documents do not allow or permit the exclusion of any Materially Damaged Property from the Transaction or Buyer does not elect to exclude such Materially Damaged Property in accordance this Section 6.4, then Seller will promptly provide written notice thereof to Buyer, Seller will assign to Buyer at Closing any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction, giving Buyer a credit at Closing for any deductible under the relevant insurance policies, and the Closing will proceed in accordance with the remaining terms of this Agreement.

Article VII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall in each case survive Closing until the Applicable Limitation Date. With respect to (a) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, (b) any claims for indemnity under this Agreement and (c) the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate compliance or performance at or before the Closing and that this Agreement expressly provides will survive the Closing (each, a “Surviving Covenant”), neither Buyer, nor any other Person on behalf of Buyer, nor Seller, nor any other Person on behalf of Seller, shall be entitled to recover for any Losses pursuant to this Agreement unless written notice of a claim therefor is delivered to the Party against whom indemnity is sought before the Applicable Limitation Date, in which case a claim for indemnity in respect of the breach of such representation, warranty or Surviving Covenant or other claim for indemnity shall survive until such claim has been finally resolved. For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Applicable Limitation Date” shall mean the date (A) that is three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the Closing Date with respect to all claims for indemnity arising from the breach of any representation, warranty or Surviving Covenant pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 (including any indemnity arising under Section 7.2(c) or (d)), other than the Fundamental Representations and Tax Representations, (B) that is six (6) years after the Closing Date with respect to all claims for indemnity arising from the breach of any Fundamental

Representation, and (C) on which the applicable statute of limitations expires with respect to all claims for indemnity arising from the breach of any Tax Representation.

Section 7.2. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to Sections 7.1, 7.4 and 7.5, after the Closing, Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively with Buyer, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all reasonable, out of pocket losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”) asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a result of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in Article III of this Agreement or in Annex A or in any document delivered by Seller at the Closing;

(b) any breach of any Surviving Covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement, but only to the extent Buyer did not have Knowledge of such breach at or prior to Closing and Buyer did not waive such breach in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

(c) any Private Action or Action brought by a Governmental Authority with respect to either of the Acquired Companies or the Properties, but only to the extent attributable or relating to any time period prior to the Closing and only to the extent Buyer did not have Knowledge of such Private Action or Action at or prior to Closing.

Any claim pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.2 must be made prior to the Applicable Limitation Date, as provided in Sections 7.1 and 7.5(a).

Section 7.3. Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to Sections 7.1, 7.4 and 7.5, after the Closing, Buyer shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, its direct and indirect owners and their respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively with Seller, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of:

(a) any breach of any representation, warranty or Surviving Covenant made by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any document delivered by the Buyer at the Closing;

(b) any Private Action or Action brought by a Governmental Authority with respect to either of the Acquired Companies or the Properties, but only to the extent attributable or relating to any time period from and after the Closing; and

(c) any contractual liabilities or obligations of the Acquired Companies to the extent attributable to the period after the Closing or any other contractual liabilities or obligations of the Acquired Companies to the extent (i) Buyer has received a credit against the Purchase Price therefor, or (ii) Buyer has created or expressly assumed such contractual liabilities or obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation any other obligations for which the Acquired Companies remains specifically liable under this Agreement to pay or perform after the Closing).

Any claim pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.3 must be made prior to the Applicable Limitation Date, as provided in Sections 7.1 and 7.5(a).

Section 7.4. Procedures.

(a) In order for a Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of a Loss or a claim or demand made by any person against the Indemnified Party including any Private Action or Action by a Governmental Authority (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice thereof to the Party against whom indemnity is or may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party obtains knowledge of the Loss or receives written notice of a Third Party Claim and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information in the Indemnified Party’s possession with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice or information, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII or otherwise.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against the entirety of any Losses (subject to the limitations and any rights to recovery or offset pursuant to Section 7.5) that may result from a Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than monetary damages against the Indemnified Party, (ii) such Third Party Claim involves any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or (iii) outside counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably conclude that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees, expenses and other costs of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from or fails to diligently proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the

defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent unless such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 7.4 and proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII or otherwise.

Section 7.5. Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted nor may any Action be commenced against Seller for breach of any representation, warranty or Surviving Covenant contained herein or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the Transaction, unless written notice of such claim or action is received by Seller, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or Action on or prior to the Applicable Limitation Date with respect to such representation, warranty or Surviving Covenant, irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim or Action shall have occurred before or after such date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of Seller and Buyer under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Agreement are subject to the following limitations:

(i) The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Seller by all Buyer Indemnified Parties (a) pursuant to claims for indemnification under Section 7.2(a) (other than claims for indemnification resulting from a breach by Seller of any of the Fundamental Representations), (b) and (c) of this Agreement shall be an aggregate amount not exceeding two percent (2%) of the Base Purchase Price (the “Non-Fundamental Breach Cap”) and (b) pursuant to claims for indemnification resulting from the breach by Seller of any of the Fundamental Representations shall be an aggregate amount not exceeding the Base Purchase Price (the “Fundamental Breach Cap”, and together with the Non-Fundamental Breach Cap, collectively, the “Cap”).

(ii) Seller shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Seller equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which case Seller shall be

liable for all Losses including the aggregate Basket. For avoidance of doubt, the Basket shall apply to the Seller’s indemnity obligations under all of Section 7.2, including without limitation Section 7.2(c) and (d) of this Agreement.

(iii) The foregoing provisions of paragraphs (b)(i) and (ii) shall not apply to any proration and other adjustments to the Purchase Price effected pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.5 of this Agreement or to Seller’s obligations arising under Section 10.1 or 10.17.

(iv) No Party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special, indirect or exemplary damages.

(v) After the Closing, no breach by Seller of any representation or warranty, or any covenant or obligation required to be performed by Seller prior to Closing (including, without limitation, any Surviving Covenant) in this Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the Transaction shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the Transaction for any purpose hereunder, and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall have any claim or recourse against Seller or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons or Representatives with respect to such breach, under this Article VII or otherwise, if Buyer had, at the Closing, Knowledge of such breach or if such breach was disclosed in any Due Diligence Materials actually made available to Buyer prior to Closing.

(c) For all purposes of this Article VII, “Losses” shall be net (without duplication of the following amounts to the extent otherwise already included in the definition of Losses) of any insurance or other recoveries received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification, net of reasonable costs of realizing such insurance proceeds.

(d) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim, liability or Loss subject to indemnification hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim, liability or Loss. In the event that Buyer or Seller shall fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim, liability or Loss, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other Party shall not be required to indemnify any person for the portion of any claim, liability or Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, had made such efforts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of Annex A set forth the Parties’ respective obligations to cooperate with respect to Tax audits, examinations and proceedings.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If an Indemnified Party receives such insurance or indemnity payments prior to being indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed with respect to such Losses, the Losses shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity payments to the extent related to such Losses, net of attorney’s fees and other

expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If an Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity payments after being indemnified and held harmless with respect to such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall pay promptly to the Indemnifying Party (up to a maximum of the total amount paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses) the amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity payments to the extent related to such Losses, net of attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If any Indemnified Party receives payment from an Indemnifying Party on account of a claim for Losses that the Indemnifying Party believes in good faith is covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party) and the Indemnifying Party believes in good faith that the Indemnified Party is not using commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery on such insurance policy or indemnification obligation, the Indemnifying Party may elect to notify the Indemnified Party of its belief and that, if such failure to use commercially reasonable efforts continues, it intends to request the Indemnified Party to assign its rights under such insurance policy or indemnification obligation to the Indemnifying Party. After thirty (30) days after such notice has been received by the Indemnified Party, if the Indemnified Party has continued to fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek such recovery, the Indemnifying Party may send a written request to the Indemnified Party for such assignment of rights, and, upon receipt of such request, the Indemnified Party shall (i) promptly assign, to the extent assignable, its rights under such insurance policy or indemnification obligation with respect to such claim for Losses to the Indemnifying Party (to the extent of such payment by the Indemnifying Party) and (ii) be relieved of any further obligation to pursue collection of such insurance or indemnification (except that, if requested to do so by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, to collect any such insurance or indemnification).

Section 7.6. Exclusive Remedy; Survival. After the Closing, this Article VII and Section 10.17 will provide the sole and exclusive remedies of any Party for any breach by the other Party of any representation, warranty or Surviving Covenant arising under this Agreement or any other document delivered pursuant hereto. All of the provisions of this Article VII shall survive the Closing, subject in each case to the Applicable Limitation Date.

Section 7.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any payment pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Section 7.8. Parent Guaranty. By execution of the Joinder by Guarantor attached hereto as Exhibit “G”, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it receives a material direct or indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, accordingly, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article VII. The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

Section 7.9. Specific Post-Closing Indemnification Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and in addition to any and all other indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a result of, or in connection with, the matters

disclosed on Schedule A2.1 (collectively, the “Post-Closing Matters”). Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 7.9 shall not be subject to Section 7.5(b)(v) of this Agreement and shall not be waived or otherwise affected by Seller’s disclosure of the Post-Closing Matters on Schedule A2.1. The provisions of this Section 7.9 shall survive the Closing.

Article VIII

Section 8.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller at any time;

A “Buyer Default” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) Buyer shall fail to pay any sum of money under this Agreement when due and payable and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days after Sellers gives Buyer written notice of such failure (but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond the Closing Date), except that if such failure relates to the payment of the Deposit or amounts to be paid at the Closing, there shall be no grace or cure period; (ii) Buyer shall fail to perform any of its other covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement when required to be performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for ten (10) business days after Sellers gives Buyer written notice of such failure (iii) on the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer fails to deliver any of the documents and instruments required by the terms of Section 1.3(b); or (iv) any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall prove to have been materially false or incorrect when made;

The Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1 (other than by mutual consent under Section 8.1(a)) shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other Party.

Section 8.2. Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either Party except, (i) Section 5.5 (relating to confidentiality), Section 10.1 (relating to fees and expenses), Section 10.4 (relating to notices), Section 10.7 (relating to third-party beneficiaries), Section 10.8 (relating to governing law), Section 10.9 (relating to assignments), Section 10.17 (relating to costs and fees of enforcement of this Agreement), Section 10.19 (relating to recording and lis pendens), Section 10.19 (relating to non-liability) and this Section 8.2 shall survive and continue to be in full force and effect, and (ii) that, subject to Section 8.2(b) below, nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to such termination. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, each Party will redeliver all documents and other material of the other Party relating to the Properties, the Acquired Companies, or the Transaction contemplated hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Party furnishing the same (or destroy such materials, in which case such destroying Party shall provide a certification to the other Party as to such destruction).

(b) In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided for in Section 8.1(b), Seller shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money and any interest accrued thereon, and Buyer shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay the Earnest Money to Seller as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(e) and Section 8.1(f), Seller shall cause the Escrow Agent to refund the Earnest Money and any interest accrued thereon immediately to Buyer. The Parties recognize that it will be extremely difficult and impractical, if not impossible, to ascertain with any degree of certainty the amount of damages that would be suffered by Seller in the event of Buyer’s breach of its representations, warranties and covenants under this Agreement, and the Parties agree that a reasonable estimate of the damages of Seller in such event is the amount of the Earnest Money and any interest accrued thereon, which shall be disbursed to Seller by the Escrow Agent as liquidated damages. Seller and Buyer also have the rights of specific performance provided in Section 10.11. Additionally, if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as provided for in Section 8.1(c), then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual, documented out of pocket cash expenditures incurred directly in connection with this Agreement and the transaction

contemplated hereby, including but not limited to negotiating this Agreement and conducting due diligence activities related to the Interests and the Properties, not to exceed $150,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Deliberate Breach occurs, then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s actual, documents out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with this Agreement not to exceed $150,000, and the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller shall pay to Buyer liquidated damages in the amount of $3,000,000, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than any obligations that explicitly survive Closing hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the consummation of the Closing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies provided in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 10.11 and 10.17 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer for any breach, default, violation or failure to perform by Seller under this Agreement that occurs prior to Closing.
