TITLE AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS

SECTION 9.1. Title Insurance and Survey. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller’s fee simple interest in the Property shall be sold and conveyed, and Buyer agrees to purchase Seller’s fee simple interest in the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the provisions of this Article IX.

SECTION 9.2. Title Commitment; Survey. Buyer shall obtain during the Due Diligence Period (i) the Title Commitment from the Title Company, and (ii) the Survey certified by the surveyor to Buyer as having been prepared in accordance with the minimum detail requirements of the ALTA land survey requirements, and (iii) a zoning report for the Property. Buyer shall give notice to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Initial Title Date”) specifying all title, survey or zoning matters or exceptions to which Buyer is unwilling to accept (each such exception, a “Title Defect”). In the event the Title Commitment, or Survey or zoning report or update of any of the foregoing is received after the Initial Title Date, Buyer shall give notice to Seller of any Title Defect within three (3) Business Days after the Buyer’s receipt of such information (and in any event, prior to the Closing) (each notice from Buyer under this Section, a “Title Defect Notice”).

SECTION 9.3. Certain Exceptions to Title; Inability to Convey.

(a) If Buyer fails to timely deliver a Title Defect Notice in accordance with Section 9.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title Defect and such Title Defect shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception (provided in no event shall Buyer be required to provide a Title Defect Notice for any Seller Liens, which Seller is obligated to discharge at or prior to Closing and which shall not be deemed to be a Permitted Exception). Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of any Title Defect Notice (and in any event prior to Closing), deliver a response to the Buyer specifying all Title Defects which Seller shall commit to cure or discharge or elect not to cure or discharge (“Title Response Notice”). Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove or cause to be removed, or insured over, at its expense any Title Defects as set forth in a

28

Title Defect Notice (other than Seller Liens which Seller shall be obligated to discharge), and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) days) for the purpose of such removal or cure, which removal or cure will be deemed effected by discharging of record the same such that it is not binding upon Buyer or the Assets. If Seller elects not to cure (or otherwise remove) any Title Defect set forth in a Title Defect Notice (other than Seller Liens which Seller shall be obligated to discharge) and otherwise is unable to convey fee title to the Property to Buyer at Closing subject only to Permitted Exceptions, Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefore, to either (x) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (y) waive such Title Defects, in which event such Title Defects shall be deemed additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price Balance.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at Closing at its sole cost and expense to cause the release or discharge of (i) any deed to secure debt, mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument securing indebtedness for borrowed money encumbering all or any portion of the Assets, (ii) real estate tax liens and any other tax liens, in each case, for delinquent taxes that are due and payable, (iii) mechanics or materialmen’s liens resulting from or in connection with work or improvements at the Property, (iv) any judgments against Seller or the Assets, (v) encumbrances and liens created or permitted by Seller in violation of the terms of this Agreement, (vi) title defects, title exceptions, encumbrances or other title matters that Seller expressly agrees in writing to remove on or prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, any Title Defects, and (vii) any other liens or encumbrances which can be discharged through the mere payment of monies (collectively, “Seller Liens”). The parties acknowledge and agree that if not paid by Seller before Closing, Buyer shall have the right to apply or cause Escrow Agent to apply all or any portion of the Purchase Price Balance to cause the release of any Seller Liens, as applicable, and if the cost to release such Seller Liens exceeds the Purchase Price Balance, Seller shall pay such excess amounts to Escrow Agent at Closing.

SECTION 9.4. Buyer’s Right to Accept Title.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, Buyer may, by express written notice given to Seller at any time prior to the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of this Agreement, elect to accept such title as Seller can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any Title Defect. In such event, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing but Buyer shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price, any credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against Seller for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any such Title Defect accepted by Buyer (subject to Buyer’s rights in Section 9.3(b) with respect to Seller Liens).

(b) Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, and to provide a mortgagee title insurance policy at Closing.

29

SECTION 9.5. Cooperation. In connection with obtaining the Title Policy, Buyer and Seller, as applicable, and to the extent requested by the Title Company, shall deliver to the Title Company (a) evidence sufficient to establish (i) the legal existence of Buyer and Seller and (ii) the authority of the respective signatories of Seller and Buyer to bind Seller and Buyer, as the case may be, and (b) a certificate of good standing of Buyer and Seller. In addition, Seller will deliver to the Title Company at Closing, if and to the extent requested by Title Company, an owner’s title affidavit and gap indemnity substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (together, the “Title Affidavit”). In addition, Seller shall, at no cost or liability to Seller (other than to a de minimis extent and/or as otherwise expressly required or contemplated by this Agreement) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Title Company in connection with obtaining the Title Policy. At or before Closing, Seller (and/or its general partners or direct or indirect beneficial owners) shall deliver to the Title Company (y) such affidavits, certificates, other instruments, and documentary evidence as are reasonably required by the Title Company and customarily furnished in connection with a transaction of the nature contemplated by this Agreement, including such affidavits and indemnities related to work, repairs, and violations with respect to the Property, and (z) if requested by Buyer, such affidavits, indemnities and financial information as may be necessary for the Title Company to issue a non-imputation endorsement in connection with the Title Policy.

SECTION 10.2. Risk of Loss.

(a) If, on or before the Closing Date, the Assets or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or (ii) taken, or threatened to be taken, as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, including the receipt of any notice letter relating thereto, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer prior to the Closing and, at Closing, Seller will credit against the Purchase Price Balance payable by Buyer an amount equal to the net proceeds (other than on account of business or rental interruption insurance proceeds relating to the period prior to Closing), if any, received by Seller (unless otherwise paid directly to Buyer as named insured under the Seller’s insurance policies (collectively, the “Seller’s Policies”), if applicable) as a result of such casualty or condemnation, together with a credit for any deductible under such insurance and coverage to be assigned to or payable by Buyer under the Seller’s Policies, if applicable, less any amounts spent by Seller prior to Closing to restore the Property. If as of the Closing Date, Seller (or Buyer as named insured under the Seller’s Policies, if applicable) has not received all or any portion of such insurance or condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate on the Closing Date the conveyance of the Assets (without any credit for such insurance or condemnation proceeds except for a credit for any deductible under such insurance as provided for herein) and Seller will at Closing assign to Buyer all rights of Seller, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing) and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(a), if, on or before the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by a Material Casualty or (ii) subject to a Material Condemnation, Buyer shall have the right, exercised by written notice to Seller no more than ten (10) days after Buyer has received notice of such Material Casualty or Material Condemnation, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

ADJUSTMENTS

Unless otherwise provided below, the following are to be adjusted and prorated between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing, based upon a 365-day year, with Buyer being deemed to be the owner of the Assets during the entire day of the Closing Date and being entitled to receive all operating income of the Assets, and being obligated to pay all operating expenses of the Assets, with respect to the Closing Date and the net amount thereof under this Article XI shall be added to (if such net amount is in Seller’s favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in Buyer’s favor) the Purchase Price Balance payable at Closing:

SECTION 11.1. Rents. All fixed rents, parking fees, administration fees and other charges or amounts paid or payable by tenants under the Leases or in connection with their use or occupancy of the Property or any service or amenity relating thereto, including water, electricity, gas, sewage or other utilities or pass through fees and charges (whether paid in advance of the date

31

when such payment is due or otherwise) (collectively, “Rents”). Seller shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid Rents for periods from and after the Closing Date and all Fees and all refundable cash Security Deposits including interest thereon, if any (to the extent the Security Deposits were made by tenants and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Leases) as set forth in the Rent Roll or otherwise delivered pursuant to a New Lease, to Buyer on the Closing Date. Rents that are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of all such delinquent or payable but unpaid rent. Buyer shall include such delinquencies (or unpaid amounts) in its normal billing and shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of such past due Rents for ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (but Buyer shall not be required to litigate or declare a default in any Lease or take any additional actions in connection with the recovery from tenants of such delinquencies or other unpaid amounts). To the extent Buyer receives payment of Rents (or income in connection with other tenant charges) from a tenant on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied (y) first, toward the Rent (or other tenant charges) due to Buyer for the month in which the Closing occurs or for periods following the month in which the Closing occurs and (z) second, to any delinquent Rents owed to Seller, with Seller’s share thereof being promptly delivered to Seller. From and after the Closing Date, Seller may not sue any tenants at the Property or otherwise pursue any tenants at the Property for Rents and hereby waives any right to do so. The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive the Closing.

SECTION 11.2. Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real estate and personal property Taxes and assessments for the current year shall be prorated on a calendar year basis between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable period); provided, that in the event the actual real estate and personal property Taxes and assessments for the year of Closing are unknown, the tax proration will be based upon the real estate and personal property Taxes and assessments for the prior year and such taxes and assessments will be re-prorated as provided in Section 11.11 below. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any real estate and personal property Taxes and assessments due and payable for all years prior to the year of Closing and Seller shall pay such Taxes and assessments on or before the Closing Date. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the Taxes on the Assets resulting from the sale of the Assets contemplated by this Agreement, any change in use or improvement of the Assets or Property on or after the Closing Date, or any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any real estate and personal property Taxes and assessments on the Assets or Property are payable in installments, then the installment allocable to the period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated (with Buyer being allocated the obligation to pay any installments due on or after the Closing Date).

Unmetered water charges shall be apportioned on the basis of the charges therefor for the same period of the preceding calendar year, but applying the current rate thereto.

32

Buyer shall transfer all utilities (other than water and other matters covered by Section 11.3) at the Property to its name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all utility meters to be read as of the Closing Date. If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any utility charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available. Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, such charges will be appropriately reprorated after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date; provided that if any such deposit is transferred to Buyer at Closing, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the deposit so transferred.

SECTION 11.5. Miscellaneous Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of revenue producing agreements, including relating to telephone booths, vending machines, laundry agreements, and including inducement fees, “door fees” or similar non-recurring payments shall be adjusted and prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing, with any “inducement fees”, “door fees” and any non-recurring payments amortized over the period of such agreements for purposes of determining prorations.

SECTION 11.6. 2024 Turn Costs. Seller shall pay for all costs associated with the process of turning the units in accordance with Seller’s standard operating procedures for the upcoming academic year (the “2024 Turn”).

Seller shall be responsible for all incentives provided by Seller to tenants (including, but not limited to, gift cards or cash credits) who have signed Leases or Lease renewals on or prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any such incentives which have not been paid by Seller prior to Closing; provided, however, that Buyer shall not receive a credit for discounted or free rent units provided as a benefit to individuals working at the Property. If applicable, all reciprocal easement agreement, covenant, condition and restriction, owner’s association or similar fees and assessments due and payable with respect to the Assets with respect to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted and prorated based on the periods of ownership by Seller and Buyer during such year.

SECTION 11.10. Other Adjustments. If applicable, the Purchase Price Balance shall be adjusted at Closing to reflect the adjustment of any other item which, under the explicit terms of this Agreement, is to be apportioned at Closing. Any other items of operating income or operating expense that are customarily apportioned between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties in the metropolitan area where the Property are located, shall be prorated as applicable.

33

SECTION 11.11. Re-Adjustment. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Article XI shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and reprorated when the information is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all reprorations contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed (a) with respect to real estate taxes, within thirty (30) days after the tax bill is issued for such period and (b) with respect to all other items, within ninety (90) days after Closing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Closing Document, if any Claim Notice is given in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.6 during the Survival Period, the indemnification claims set forth in such Claim Notice will survive until such time as such claims are finally resolved regardless of the expiration of the Survival Period.

SECTION 12.7. Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which expressly survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under this Article XII, except as it relates to the Uncapped Obligations.

SECTION 12.8. Seller’s Escrow. To secure Seller’s obligations and liability with respect to this Article XII, Seller has agreed to deposit at the Closing, in escrow with the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Cap Limitation (the “Seller Escrow Holdback”), which Seller Escrow Holdback shall be held by Escrow Agent for the Survival Period in accordance with the Holdback Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit K and made a part hereof (the “Seller Escrow Holdback Agreement”); provided, that, if Buyer notifies Seller of a claim under this Agreement during the Survival Period, then the portion of the Seller Escrow Holdback claimed by Buyer shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent until the final resolution of such claim, which resolution is not subject to appeal or for which the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected.

TAX CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS

SECTION 13.1. Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings (including, but not limited to, administrative and/or judicial proceedings or appeals) in respect of the Property, relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without Buyer’s prior written consent. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.

SECTION 13.2. Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings on account of taxes allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes on account of taxes allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of Buyer. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to tenants); provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.

SECTION 13.3. Survival. The provisions of this Article XIII shall survive the Closing.

(b) Neither Seller nor Buyer may issue a press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party and provided that the content of any such press release shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other party hereto and in no event shall any such press release issued by Buyer or Seller disclose the identity of the other party’s direct or indirect beneficial owners by name or the consideration paid to Seller for the Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the right of the Buyer or its subsidiaries or affiliates to publicly disclose the transaction, after the Closing hereunder, substantially consistent with the manner Buyer or its subsidiaries or affiliates has disclosed transactions prior to the date hereof.

(c) For the purpose of complying with any information reporting requirements or other rules and regulations of the IRS that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6045-4 and any successor version thereof (collectively, the “IRS Reporting Requirements”), Seller and Buyer hereby designate and appoint the Escrow Agent to act as the “Reporting Person” (as that term is defined in the IRS Reporting Requirements) to be responsible for complying with any IRS Reporting Requirements. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges and accepts such designation and appointment and agrees to fully comply with any IRS Reporting Requirements that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow in the Earnest Money Escrow Account until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and shall hold or apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.5(b). Seller and Buyer understand that no interest is earned on the Earnest Money during the time it takes to transfer into and out of the Earnest Money Escrow Account. At the Closing, the Earnest Money shall be paid or applied by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Closing does not occur for any reason (other than due to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money in accordance with Section 6.2, Section 8.2, Section 9.3(a) or Section 10.2(b)), and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of such amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within twenty-four (24) hours thereof, give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the Earnest Money with the clerk of the court in the Washington County, Arkansas. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Buyer. Upon such deposit the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth herein to the contrary, if the Closing does not occur due to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money in accordance with Section 6.2, Section 8.2, Section 9.3(a) or Section 10.2(b), Escrow Agent and Seller acknowledge that Seller shall not be entitled to make a written objection to Escrow Agent with respect to such refund and Escrow Agent shall, without further instruction, return the Earnest Money to Buyer within twenty-four (24) hours of giving written notice of such termination to the Escrow Agent, subject to Escrow Agent’s deduction of the Independent Consideration and payment of such amount to Seller in accordance with Section 2.1(d).

SECTION 15.6. Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each party shall take any actions that may be required to comply with the terms of the Patriot Act, as amended, any regulations promulgated under the foregoing law, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, any sanctions program administrated by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control or Financial Crimes Enforcement Network or any other laws, regulations or executive orders designed to combat terrorism or money laundering, if applicable to this Agreement.

SECTION 15.8. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign this Agreement without the consent of Seller to any Affiliate or subsidiary of Buyer, provided that not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer delivers to Seller prior written notice of such assignment and an instrument or instruments evidencing such assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of such assignment in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall remain liable under this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and insure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

SECTION 15.9. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
