The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

(a)By purchasing the Membership Interests and owning Palm Creek, SCOLP shall effectively assume (the “Loan Assumption”) the aggregate outstanding principal balance (which as of the date of this Agreement is approximately $42,000,000) of the mortgage debt on the Project as of the Closing Date (the “Assumed Debt”), which Assumed Debt shall be credited against the Purchase Price, provided that any Assumption Costs (as defined in Section 2.3) associated with the Loan Assumption shall be the responsibility of Assignor in accordance with Section 19.1 below;

(b)     The Deposit (as defined in Section 2.2 below) shall be delivered to the Assignor pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement (as defined in Section 2.2 below); and

Within two (2) days after expiration date of Inspection Period, SCOLP shall deposit an additional $2,000,000.00 so that the aggregate Deposit shall be increased to $4,000,000.00. All interest earned on the Deposit shall belong to SCOLP. As more fully described in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement and the Deposit Escrow Agreement, the Deposit shall be forfeited to Assignor, refunded to SCOLP or applied to the payment of the Purchase Price.

2.3    Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Assignor and SCOLP shall notify the holder of the Assumed Debt (each a “Lender”) of the pending sale of the Membership Interests and request the application required to be submitted to the Lender in order for SCOLP to indirectly assume the Assumed Debt. SCOLP shall promptly submit written application for the Loan Assumption to the Lender. SCOLP agrees to prosecute the loan application with due diligence in order to obtain the Lender’s approval of the sale of the Membership Interests to SCOLP in accordance with the terms hereof and the Loan Assumption (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Approval”). Assignor agrees to cooperate with SCOLP and Lender in obtaining the Loan Assumption Approval. Assignor shall pay all costs, expenses and fees payable to the Lender with respect to the Loan Assumption and to satisfy any requirements of the Lender (the “Assumption Costs”), including, without limitation, any non-refundable application fee, attorney fees, transfer and assumption fees, administration fees, and charges and premiums for all endorsements to the Lenders’ policies of title insurance. SCOLP and Assignor agree to execute such

5



documents as may be reasonably required by Lender to complete the Loan Assumption application and to confirm the Loan Assumption. Further, the Lender’s Loan Assumption Approval must provide for (a) the release of the Assignor and all guarantors from all personal liability for the “recourse carve outs” under the Mortgage Documents with respect to all events, occurrences and activities arising from and after the Closing Date, and for SCOLP to assume such personal liability under the recourse carve outs with respect to all events, occurrences and activities arising after the Closing Date in substantially the same form as signed by the Assignor and such guarantor when they closed the Assumed Debt, and (b) such modifications to the Loan Documents as are reasonably necessary to reflect and account for the fact that the general partner of SCOLP is a publically traded real estate investment trust and SCOLP, either directly or through its subsidiaries, owns, operates and manages multiple manufactured homes under the Sun Communities name. If the Loan Assumption Approval is not obtained prior to December 1, 2012 (the “Loan Assumption Approval Period”), SCOLP may, by delivery of written notice to Assignor at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period, elect to extend the Loan Assumption Approval Period one time until December 31, 2012. If the Loan Assumption Approval has not been issued prior to the expiration of the Loan Assumption Approval Period, as it may be extended as provided above, this Agreement shall terminate (absent the agreement of both SCOLP and Assignor to further extend the Loan Assumption Approval Period), in which event the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to SCOLP, and neither party shall have any further liability to the other except for those obligations hereunder which survive such termination. Upon receipt of the Loan Assumption Approval from the Lender in accordance with this Section 2.3, the parties shall proceed to close the transactions contemplated herein in accordance with Section 18 hereof.

4.1    Within seven (7) days after the date first set forth above, Assignor shall furnish SCOLP with a commitment (the "Commitment") for ALTA Form Owner's Policies of Title Insurance for the Project, issued by the Title Company, along with copies of all instruments described in Schedule B of each Commitment (collectively, the “Exception Documents”), in the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price. At Closing, the Assignor shall cause to be provided to SCOLP, at the Assignor’s sole cost and expense, an owner’s policy of title insurance issued pursuant to the Commitment, insuring the interest in the Project without the "standard exceptions" (provided SCOLP obtains a survey sufficient to remove the so-called survey exceptions), but subject to the Permitted Exceptions. SCOLP, at its cost and expense, may request such endorsements to the policies which it desires, the issuance of which shall be subject to the discretion of the Title Company. The cost of the standard coverage of the title insurance policy shall be borne by Assignor.

The Survey shall be sufficient for removal of the standard survey exception from the policy of title insurance to be issued pursuant to the Commitment and shall reveal any of the following: (i) encroachments on the Project or any portion thereof from any adjacent property, (ii) the encroachment of such Project, or any portion thereof, on any adjacent property, and (iii) any violation by any portion of such Project of any recorded building liens, restrictive covenants or easements affecting such Project. The cost of the Survey shall be borne by SCOLP.

The cost of the UCC searches shall be borne by SCOLP.

5.    TITLE OBJECTIONS.

5.1    If a Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions which are not acceptable to SCOLP, in its sole discretion, SCOLP shall notify Assignor in writing of its objections to such exceptions (the "Title Defects") within ten (10) days after receipt of the Commitment, the Exception Documents and the Survey, but no later than forty-five (45) days after the date first set forth above.

Assignor agrees to cause to be discharged on or prior to Closing all Title Defects pertaining to encumbrances shown on the Commitment relating to the Project of a definite or ascertainable amount caused or created by Assignor, other than those for the Assumed Debt and those shown on Schedule 3.1(e).

14.     DEFAULT.


37



14.1    In the event Assignor shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, SCOLP may, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy in such event, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Assignor at or prior to the Closing Date; or (ii) obtain specific performance of the terms and conditions provided that an action therefor is commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter and SCOLP specifically acknowledges that SCOLP shall have no right to damages pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement, other than pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth herein or in the Closing Documents.

14.2    In the event SCOLP does not elect to terminate this Agreement as permitted herein and the conditions precedent to the obligation of SCOLP to purchase the Membership Interests have been satisfied or waived by SCOLP in writing, and thereafter SCOLP fails to purchase the Membership Interests on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Assignor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to SCOLP at or prior to the Closing Date, and have delivered to Assignor, as liquidated damages, the Deposit, the same being the Assignor’s sole remedy, and SCOLP shall have no further or other liability hereunder except for the obligations of SCOLP in Section 9.3. Assignor and SCOLP agree that in the event of a default by SCOLP under this Agreement (excluding the obligations of SCOLP in Section 9.3), the Assignor’s damages would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and the amount of the Deposit represents a reasonable estimate of such damages. Neither SCOLP nor any designee, transferee or assignee of SCOLP, nor any officers, directors, shareholders or partners, general or limited, of SCOLP or such designee, transferee or assignee, shall be personally or individually liable with respect to any obligation under this Agreement, all such personal and individual liability, if any, being hereby waived by Assignor on their behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming by, through or under them.

15.    LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

38




15.1    Except as otherwise specified in Section 9.3, SCOLP does not and shall not assume any liability for any claims arising out of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Project. Except for the liability of Palm Creek under the Mortgage Documents and Assumed Project Contracts arising on or after the Closing Date, all accounts payable, obligations and liabilities of the Assignor and Palm Creek, accrued or unaccrued, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or liquidated, incurred as of the Closing Date or arising out of events or occurrences prior to the Closing Date, including under the Non-Assumed Project Contracts (collectively, the "Pre‑Closing Liabilities") shall be the responsibility of, and paid by, Assignor, and not by SCOLP or Palm Creek.

15.2    Assignor, Ashton Wolfswinkel and Bernadette Wolfswinkel, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Palm Creek and SCOLP and their respective successors, assigns, constituent members and partners, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, actions, causes of action, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of, as a result of or as a consequence of: (a) the Pre-Closing Liabilities, which include, without limitation, (i) any property damage or injuries to persons, including death, caused by any occurrence at the Project or resulting from Assignor’s or Palm Creek’s use, possession, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any breach of the lessor's obligations under the Tenant Leases which occurred prior to the Closing Date or as a result of Assignor or Palm Creek not having reserved cash as of the Closing Date equal to the amount of all security deposits to be held under the Tenant Leases, (iii) any breach of Assignor’s or Palm Creek’s obligations under any Project Contract which occurred prior to the Closing Date, (iv) the termination of the employees of Assignor, Palm Creek or any manager of the Project on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, (v) any and all liabilities and obligations of Assignor or Palm Creek under any Non-Assumed Project Contracts, and (vi) all costs and expenses required to be paid by Assignor under Sections 6.1,

39



19.1 and/or 20.1; and (b) any breach by Assignor of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations (including, without limitation, any obligation to pay any fees, costs or expenses hereunder) set forth herein or in any other document or instrument delivered by Assignor or Palm Creek in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

15.3    From and after the Closing Date, SCOLP agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Assignor and their respective successors, assigns, constituent members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, actions, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising out of, as a result of or as a consequence of: (i) any breach of the lessor's obligations under the Tenant Leases which occurs subsequent to the Closing Date; (ii) any breach of Palm Creek’s obligations under the Project Contracts retained by Palm Creek which may occur subsequent to the Closing Date; (iii) any property damage or injuries to persons, including death, caused by the occurrence of any event at any Project after the Closing Date or in connection with Palm Creek’s use, possession, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project after the Closing Date; (iv) any breach by SCOLP of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations (including, without limitation, any obligation to pay any fees, costs or expenses hereunder) set forth herein or in any other document or instrument delivered by the SCOLP in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein; and (v) any failure by SCOLP to pay costs and expenses required to be paid by SCOLP under Sections 6.1, 19.1 and/or 20.1.

15.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 7.1(f), 7.1(g), the last sentence of 7.1(k), 7.1(o), 7.1(p), 8.1(a), 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) shall survive

40



for six (6) years only, and (b) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 7.1(m), 7.1(r) and 7.1(s) shall survive until the 60th day after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein (including, without limitation, any covenant or agreement to pay any fees, costs or expenses hereunder) shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. Except as provided above, no party shall be liable to any other party with respect to any claim under this Agreement unless such claiming party delivers written notice of such claim to the other party prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the expiration date of the applicable survival period.

15.5    To secure the Assignor’s obligation to pay any claims for indemnification under this Agreement, the parties agree to establish a separate escrow account (“Holdback Escrow Account”) which shall be funded from the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the Seller in an amount equal to $350,000.00 (the “Holdback Escrow Deposit”). At the Closing, Assignor, Palm Creek, SCOLP and the Title Company as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) shall enter into an escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Holdback Escrow Agreement”). At Closing, Assignor shall deliver to the Escrow Agent cash from the Purchase Price in the amount of the Holdback Escrow Deposit to be held in escrow under the Holdback Escrow Agreement. The Holdback Escrow Agreement shall terminate on April 15, 2014; provided that the term shall be extended until the final resolution of any dispute resulting from the timely delivery of a claim thereunder. Upon termination of the Holdback Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall distribute the remaining balance of the Escrow Deposit and the interest earned thereon, if any, to Assignor.


41

16.1    From the date hereof through November 20, 2012 (the "Investigation Period"), SCOLP shall have the right to inspect and investigate all aspects of the Project, the Assignor and Palm Creek, including, without limitation, the physical condition of the Project, all items of income and expense arising from the Assignor’s and Palm Creek’s ownership and operation of the Project, and all documents relating thereto.
