If all conditions are determined to be satisfied or are duly waived at such Closing (whether or not delayed), such Closing shall be consummated.

(e) Each Buyer acknowledges that certain rights under certain of the Portfolio Property Agreements (including but not limited to side letters and certain other Portfolio

Contractual Rights) may be unique to Seller and that the grant to such Buyer of such rights by the Manager of the applicable Partnership in connection with such Buyer’s purchase of an Interest pursuant to this Purchase Agreement and admission to such Partnership as substitute limited partner shall be subject to the consent of the applicable Manager or Partnership. The parties shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent of the applicable Manager or Partnership. Each Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that failure to obtain such consent to the assignment of rights under the Portfolio Property Agreements, including any side letter, shall not affect such Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

4. Purchase Price.

(a) Purchase Price Allocation and Adjustments.

(i) The purchase price for each Interest shall be the amount set forth opposite the name of the relevant Partnership relating to such Interest on Schedule I under the heading “Purchase Price Allocation” (with respect to any Interest, the “Allocated Portion of the Purchase Price”); provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amount paid to Seller in respect of the Allocated Portion of the Purchase Price for all of the Interests transferred to Buyers exceed the aggregate Capital Account Balance as of the Cut Off Date for such Interests and if, as of the Final Closing, due to one or more Interests becoming Excluded Interests, the aggregate Allocated Portion of the Purchase Price paid (or to be paid) to Seller for Interests transferred to Buyers would exceed the Capital Account Balance as of the Cut Off Date for such Interests, then (A) Buyers and Seller shall adjust the Allocated Portion of the Purchase Price for the Interests transferred to Buyers (including the Interests being transferred at the Final Closing) so that aggregate Allocated Portion of the Purchase Price equals the Capital Account Balance as of the Cut Off Date for such transferred Interests, (B) if, at such time, the aggregate Closing Payments for such Interests are insufficient to offset any amounts received by Seller that exceeded (x) fifty-five percent (55%) of (y) the Capital Account Balance as of the Cut Off Date with respect to all Interests transferred to Buyers as of the Final Closing, then Seller shall promptly refund any such excess amount to Buyers, and (C) as of the Final Closing, Schedule I shall be adjusted by Seller and Buyers so that the aggregate amounts listed under the headings “Closing Purchase Price Payment” and “Deferred Purchase Price Amount” with respect to the Interests transferred to Buyers equals the aggregate Capital Account Balance as of the Cut Off Date for the transferred Interests.

(ii) At each Closing of an Interest, an amount equal to the sum of all Funded Capital Commitments to the relevant Partnership attributable to such Interest shall be added to the Closing Payment for such Interest. To the extent that a Funded Capital Commitment was made in a currency other than the US Dollar, then the exchange rate utilized to determine the amount of such Funded Capital Commitment in US Dollars shall be the spot rate as of the date such Funded Capital Commitment was made by Seller.

(iii) At each Closing of an Interest, an amount equal to the sum of all Distributions made by the relevant Partnership to Seller with respect to such Interest after the Cut Off Date through the applicable Closing Date shall be deducted from the Closing Payment for such Interest. To the extent that a Distribution was made in a currency other than the US Dollar, then the exchange rate utilized to determine the amount of such Distribution in US Dollars shall

be the spot rate as of the date such Distribution was made to Seller by the applicable Underlying Partnership.

(iv) To the extent the parties discover after a Closing that the amount of the Capital Account Balance, Funded Capital Commitments, and/or Distributions used in calculating the Closing Payment with respect to an Interest was incorrect, the Closing Payment will be appropriately adjusted between the Parties to take into account the actual Capital Account Balance, Funded Capital Commitments and/or Distributions in respect of such Interest and the Deferred Purchase Price with respect to such Interest shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account the actual Capital Account Balance. Any amounts owing from one party to another based on such a required adjustment shall be paid by such party as promptly as practicable following such party’s notice of such adjustment.

(v) It is understood and agreed that the Purchase Price shall be paid in multiple installments, with the Closing Payments being paid at each Closing with respect to the Interests transferred to Buyers at such Closing and Deferred Purchase Price Amounts with respect to such Interests being paid on the applicable Deferred Purchase Price Payment Dates as described below.

(ii) On any Closing Date on which an Interest is transferred hereunder, Buyers shall pay Seller the Closing Payment with respect to each Interest being sold by Seller on the applicable Closing Date. On the first Closing Date, an amount equal to the Deposit shall be credited against the aggregate Closing Payments due from Buyers to Seller on such first Closing Date.

(iii) The Buyers shall pay to Seller the Deferred Purchase Price Amount with respect to each Interest sold by Seller to a Buyer on a Closing Date in quarterly installments made no later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each applicable calendar quarter, with each such quarterly installment due and calculated as follows (each such payment as described in this Paragraph 4(b)(iii), a “Deferred Purchase Price Payment”):

(A) For each calendar quarter during the 12 month period beginning on the first day of the first full calendar quarter following the Closing Date at which such Portfolio Property is transferred to a Buyer (the “Start Date”) and ending one (1) day prior to the first anniversary of the Start Date (e.g., if the applicable Closing Date occurs on June 30, 2013, then the Start Date with respect to such Interest would be July 1, 2013), Buyers shall pay Seller the following: (1) for each of the

first three calendar quarters during such 12 month period, an amount equal to 15% of the aggregate Distributions received by Buyers from the applicable Partnership during such calendar quarter and (2) for the final calendar quarter during such 12 month period, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 15% of the aggregate Distributions received by Buyers from the applicable Partnership during such calendar quarter and (y) the sum of (A) 15% of the applicable Deferred Purchase Price Amount minus (B) the Deferred Purchase Price Payments made with respect to the first, second and third calendar quarters of such 12-month period for the applicable Interest

(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 4(b)(iii) to the contrary, (A) at such time as the Buyers have made aggregate Deferred Purchase Price Payments with respect to an Interest equal to the Deferred Purchase Price Amount for such Interest, then no further payments shall be due to Seller from a Buyer with respect to such Interest and (B) at such time as Buyers have made Deferred Purchase Price Payments equal to the aggregate Deferred Purchase Price Amounts for all of the Interests transferred to Buyers, then no further payments shall be due to Seller from a Buyer with respect to the Purchase Price, the Deferred Purchase Price Amount, or the Interests.

(v) All payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Seller’s account designated on Schedule II.

(i) Subject to the consummation of the applicable Closing and to the written consent thereto of the applicable Manager (which consent shall not be a required Approval), as collateral security for the Buyers’ prompt and complete payment of the aggregate Deferred Purchase Price Amounts for all of the Interests transferred to Buyers as and when due, (i) each Buyer pledges and grants to Seller a lien on and first priority and perfected security interest in all of Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to the Interests acquired by such Buyer from Seller hereunder (the “Pledged Collateral”). Seller and Buyers agree that, subject to the written consent of the applicable Manager, this Purchase Agreement creates, and is intended to create, valid and continuing Liens upon the Pledged Collateral in favor of Seller. Each Buyer represents, warrants and promises to Seller that such Buyer has rights in, subject to the written consent of the applicable Manager, the power to transfer the Pledged Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien pursuant to this Purchase Agreement, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others other than Investment Liens and restrictions under federal and state securities laws. Each Buyer hereby authorizes Seller at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (containing a description of the Pledged Collateral in form and substance consistent with that set forth on Exhibit A hereto) and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment thereto relating to the Pledged Collateral and to take any other steps required under applicable law to create and/or perfect the Seller’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

(ii) Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the payment and satisfaction in full of the aggregate Deferred Purchase Price Amounts for all of the Interests transferred to Buyers, Seller’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral shall be automatically released and Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyers and Buyers’ agents and representatives at any time thereafter to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing termination statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform

Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment thereto relating to the Pledged Collateral and to take any other steps required under applicable law to terminate Seller’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral. In addition, upon a permitted transfer of an Interest pursuant to Paragraph 7(e)(i)(C), Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral solely as it relates to such transferred Interest shall be automatically released and Seller and Buyers shall cooperate to execute such partial termination statements and amendments thereto as are reasonably required to evidence such termination as it relates to the release of the lien on such transferred Interest and to take any other steps required under applicable law to terminate Seller’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral solely as it relates to such transferred Interest.

(iii) Seller understands and acknowledges that none of the Pledged Collateral has been registered under the Securities Act and that the Pledged Collateral cannot be re-sold except in accordance with both (A) the applicable provisions of the Portfolio Property Agreements and (B) an effective registration or exemption from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable state and non-U.S. securities laws. Seller’s rights and remedies under this Purchase Agreement with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights that Seller may have at law or in equity.

(d) Right to Holdback.

(i) If a Buyer incurs or suffers any direct Losses as a result of, relating to or arising out of (A) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Purchase Agreement or the Additional Seller’s Documents, (B) any failure by Seller to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller contained in this Purchase Agreement or the Additional Seller’s Documents (unless waived in writing by Buyers at or prior to the Closing), (C) any taxes, fees or other governmental charges attributable to the ownership by Seller of an Interest on or prior to the Closing Date, (D) any Excluded Obligation, or (E) any liability, obligation or claim that may be made with respect to any Excluded Interest (if any) (each, a “Seller Liability” and any Loss relating thereto a “Seller Liability Loss”), Buyers shall have the right to reduce the Deferred Purchase Price Amount dollar for dollar by the amount of such Seller Liability Loss and such amount shall be a corresponding dollar for dollar reduction to the Purchase Price payable pursuant to this Purchase Agreement. In no event shall Seller Liability Losses include any consequential damages.

(ii) Buyers shall be entitled to withhold from the payment of any Deferred Purchase Price Amount the amount of any such Seller Liability Loss (each, a “Holdback Amount”) as determined in good faith by Buyers until the validity and amount of such claimed Seller Liability Loss is resolved, and Buyers shall not be considered in Default as a result of such withholding; provided, however, that to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finds that an alleged Seller Liability Loss is not in fact due or owing from the Seller, then Buyers shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such finding) pay to Seller the applicable Holdback Amount, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate plus four (4%) per annum accruing from the applicable Deferred Purchase Price Payment Date until such Holdback Amount is paid to the Seller. If a Buyer fails to timely pay any amounts owing to Seller pursuant to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, then such failure shall thereafter constitute a Default by Buyer.

Buyers and Seller will cooperate with each other to make any necessary disclosure to the partners of the Partnerships in which Seller owns an Interest in connection with any Co-Investor Rights under the applicable Portfolio Property Agreements. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 11(b), the Seller may, with or without the receipt of a specific request, disclose or report to the public, on its website or otherwise, basic identifying information about this Purchase Agreement and the transactions described herein, including the public

(c) Each Buyer agrees not to pursue any action against the Seller for a violation of this Purchase Agreement that results from Seller’s compliance with its disclosure obligations under the Public Records Acts; provided, that the Seller will use its reasonable efforts (subject to the Seller’s obligations under the Public Records Acts, including without limitation the obligation to comply with required time frames) to (i) limit any such disclosure to such disclosure Seller reasonably determines is required by the Public Records Act and (ii) notify the Buyers and the Managers of any requests under the Public Records Act for disclosure of any confidential information, prior to disclosure of such information, if possible, and provide such additional cooperation as Buyers may reasonably request (to the extent Seller reasonably determines is consistent with such Public Records Acts) to protect such confidential information.

(ii) The filing by a Buyer or any direct or indirect owner, member, partner, principal, affiliate, or related entity of a Buyer of Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shall be freely permitted and shall not be deemed a breach of the provisions of this Paragraph 11; provided, however, prior to the filing of such Form 8-K, Buyers shall provide Seller with a copy of such proposed Form 8-K for Seller’s review in a timely manner and Seller and Buyers shall reasonably cooperate with respect to any proposed comments or revisions that are reasonably requested by Seller (but in no event shall any modification, amendment, or deletion to such Form 8-K be required to made to the extent that Buyers determine that same would cause the Form 8-K to fail to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations, or procedures applicable to a Buyer or its direct or indirect owners, members, partners, principals, affiliates, or related entities).

(b) By Buyers or Seller. This Purchase Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated by it abandoned with respect to any Interest not transferred to Buyers prior to such termination by written notice from Buyers to Seller, or from Seller to Buyers, (i) in the event of a material breach by Seller or any Buyer, respectively, of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Purchase Agreement which is not cured within five (5) Business Days after written notice of the breach is given to the party committing the breach (it being agreed that the foregoing cure right shall not apply to the failure to make the payment of the Purchase Price on any Closing Date); or (ii) if the Final Closing does not occur on or before the Final Closing Deadline (or such later date as may be agreed upon in writing by Buyers and Seller); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Purchase Agreement under the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be available to a party if such party’s breach of this Purchase Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Final Closing to occur on or before the Final Closing Deadline, it being understood and agreed that a failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Paragraphs 8(c) and 9(c) shall not be deemed a “breach or failure to fulfill any obligation” by any party.

(i) If this Purchase Agreement is terminated by the Buyers pursuant to Paragraph 13(b)(i) prior to the first Closing Date due to the willful, material breach by Seller of its obligations under this Purchase Agreement which is not cured within five (5) Business Days after written notice of the breach is given to Seller by Buyers (as provided in such Paragraph 13(b)(i)), then the Deposit shall be promptly refunded by Seller to Buyers.

(b) Tax Information. In the event that a Partnership is an “electing investment partnership” under Section 743(e)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Seller agrees to furnish to Buyers, upon Buyers’ written request, all information in Seller’s possession with respect to each Interest reasonably necessary to enable Buyers to compute the amount of its losses (if any) disallowed under Section 743(e) of the Code.

Public Law

2005 Chapter 271 and (iii) the addition of such additional “Buyer” as a party to this Purchase Agreement does not violate applicable New Jersey law.

(d) Governing Law. This Purchase Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without reference to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

(e) Counterparts. This Purchase Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(f) Interpretation. The headings of the paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Purchase Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Purchase Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Purchase Agreement shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Defined terms used in this Purchase Agreement shall have the same meaning whether defined or used herein in the singular or the plural, as the case may be.

(g) Entire Agreement. This Purchase Agreement, including the Schedules to this Purchase Agreement, and the other documents and certificates delivered pursuant to the terms of this Purchase Agreement set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Purchase Agreement and supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party.

(h) Amendment; Waiver. This Purchase Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by Seller and Buyers. Any failure of Buyers to comply with any obligation, agreement or condition under this Purchase Agreement may only be waived in writing by Seller, and any such failure by Seller may only be waived in writing by Buyers, but any such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No failure by a party to take any action against any breach of this Purchase Agreement or default by the other party shall constitute a waiver of such party’s right to enforce any provision of this Purchase Agreement or to take any such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may confirm, update and finalize the amounts reflected in Schedule I (other than the amounts set forth in the columns titled “Capital Account Balance of as Cut Off Date” and “Purchase Price Allocation” which shall not be amended without the consent of Buyers) based upon discussions and correspondence with the Manager of each Partnership.

(i) Third Parties. Except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Purchase Agreement, nothing in this Purchase Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give to any person or entity other than the parties and their successors or assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Purchase Agreement.

(j) Additional Documents and Acts. Each of the parties agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents, certificates and instruments, and to perform such additional acts, as may be reasonably requested and as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions

of this Purchase Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement.

(k) Resolution of Conflicts. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms and provisions of this Purchase Agreement and the terms and provisions of any document executed by the parties hereto in connection with obtaining the Approvals, the terms and provisions of this Purchase Agreement shall control.

(l) Forum Selection. By reason of the laws, regulations and public policies applicable to the Seller, each Buyer freely agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Purchase Agreement or any Portfolio Property Agreement, any legal proceeding involving any claim asserted arising out of or related to this Purchase Agreement that (i) is brought by the such Buyer against the Seller may be brought only in, and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of, the trial division of the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey, and that such proceeding shall be governed by the procedural rules and laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of law and (ii) is brought by the Seller against such Buyer may be brought in, and subject to the jurisdiction of, the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey, in which case such proceeding shall be governed by the procedural rules and laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. In order to effectuate the purpose of the first sentence of this Paragraph 15(l), such Buyer agrees to irrevocably waive any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of jurisdiction or venue in the courts of the State of New Jersey and waive any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient or improper forum. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Purchase Agreement or any Portfolio Property Agreements, such Buyer agrees that the Seller shall not be deemed to have waived any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of jurisdiction or venue of any such action or proceeding in any courts other than the courts of the State of New Jersey, nor deemed to waive any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in a court without jurisdiction or an inconvenient or improper forum.

(m) Immunities and Limitations. (i) Each Buyer understands and acknowledges that the Seller reserves all immunities, defenses, rights or actions arising out of its status as a sovereign state or entity, including those under the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution and the laws and Constitution of the State of New Jersey, and no waiver of such immunities, defenses, rights or actions shall be implied or otherwise deemed to exist by the Seller’s entry into this Purchase Agreement or any Additional Seller’s Documents, by any express or implied provision thereof or by any actions or omissions to act by the Seller or any representative or agent of the Seller, whether taken pursuant to this Purchase Agreement or any Additional Seller’s Documents or prior to the Investor’s entry into same. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be interpreted to relieve the Seller from any of its obligations, representations, or warranties under this Purchase Agreement.

(ii) Due to the Seller’s status as a sovereign entity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Purchase Agreement, any claims asserted against the Seller arising out of this Purchase Agreement shall be subject to the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (N.J.S.A. 59:1-1 et seq.) and the New Jersey Contractual Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 59:13-1 et seq.).

(n) No Presumption Regarding Drafting. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has reviewed this Purchase Agreement prior to its execution and that changes were made to this Purchase Agreement based upon its comments. If any disputes arise with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Purchase Agreement, the provision shall be deemed to have been drafted by all of the parties and shall not be construed against any party on the basis that the party was responsible for drafting that provision.

(o) Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Purchase Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Purchase Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
