3.16 Waiver of Ownership Limits.

ARTICLE IV.

Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Corporation (references to “the Purchaser” in this Article IV refer to the Purchaser that is making the representation or warranty; for the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser is making the following representations and warranties with respect to itself only and not the other Purchaser):

4.1 Organization. The Purchaser is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation.

4.2 Authorization. The Purchaser has the requisite limited partnership, limited liability company or equivalent power to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to be executed by it in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Purchaser Documents”) and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and each Purchaser Document and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been (or at the time of execution will be) duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership, limited liability company or equivalent action on the part of the Purchaser. This Agreement has been (and each Purchaser Document applicable to the Purchaser will be) duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Purchaser Document by the other party or parties hereto or thereto, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

4.3 Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, waiver, order, or authorization of, or registration, declaration, or filing with, or notice to, any Person or Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or in respect of the Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Purchaser Document by the Purchaser, the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

-19-

4.4 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not (and each Purchaser Document will not), and neither the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will (i) conflict with the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, (ii) conflict with, result in any violation of, constitute a default under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration of, or any obligation or to loss of a benefit under, any contract to which the Purchaser is a party or by which any of its assets or properties may be bound or (iii) violate any Order of any Governmental Entity or Law applicable to the Purchaser.

The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Each Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.

Any such intended transferee shall provide

-31-

at least fifteen (15) calendar days written notice to the Corporation of such proposed transfer and request for a REIT Ownership Limit Waiver. The grant of any such REIT Ownership Limit Waiver shall be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors of the Corporation that such waiver would not adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to qualify as a REIT and shall also be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the immediately following sentences. As a condition to any such waiver, the proposed transferee shall represent to the Corporation, and shall furnish such reasonable evidence as the Board of Directors may request, that no person or entity described in Section 542(a)(2) of the Code, including the application of the provisions of Section 544 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(h)(1)(B) of the Code, owns more than the maximum ownership limit set forth in the Charter, as such may have been modified as provided therein. Any such waiver may be subject to automatic revocation in the event the foregoing representation ceases to be true, as a result of a direct or indirect transfer of an interest or otherwise. In addition to the above, as a condition to the granting of any such waiver, the Corporation may require an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Corporation in support of the grant of such waiver, in addition to such other customary conditions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may impose.

The Corporation hereby grants to each of OPTrust and XxXxxxxxx (each a “ROFO Holder”) a right of first offer to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of Preferred Equity Securities that the Corporation may from time to time propose to issue or sell after the date hereof (the “New Securities”). A ROFO Holder shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it, in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among itself and any Affiliates of such ROFO Holder. The Corporation shall give written notice (an “Offer Notice”) to each ROFO Holder stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number and terms of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and other terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b) Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights; Over-Allotment. Each ROFO Holder shall for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of an Offer Notice (the “Exercise Period”) have the right to elect to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities at the purchase price and on the other terms set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering a written notice to the Corporation, subject to a minimum investment with respect to any ROFO Holder equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate purchase price applicable to its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities. No later than three (3) Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Corporation shall, if applicable, notify in writing the ROFO Holder that has elected to purchase its full Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (a “Fully Exercising ROFO Holder”) of the other ROFO Holder’s failure to do likewise. Such Fully Exercising ROFO Holder shall have the right to elect to purchase any or all of other ROFO Holder’s remaining allotment of the New Securities by giving written notice to the Corporation within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Corporation.

-32-

(c) Closing of Pre-emptive Rights Issuance; Purchase Fee.

(i) The closing of any sale to one or more purchasers pursuant to Section 9.9(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 9.9(d). At such closing, the Corporation shall deliver to each such purchaser certificates (if any) evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any Liens, and the Corporation shall so represent and warrant to such purchaser thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchaser that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to such purchaser and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, subject to Section 9.9(c)(ii), the Corporation shall further provide to the purchasers of New Securities pursuant to this Section 9.9 all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Corporation to any Person that purchases New Securities pursuant to Section 9.9(d). At such closing, the Corporation shall pay to such purchaser a purchase fee equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such purchaser for such New Securities. At such closing, each such purchaser shall deliver to the Corporation the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Corporation’s account designated by the Corporation in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to such closing. Each such purchaser and the Corporation shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate such purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

(ii) If any one or more of the Purchasers purchases all of the New Securities offered in any Offer Notice, and such Purchasers include one or more of OPTrust and its Affiliates, the Corporation shall enter into an agreement with such Purchasers for the purchase of such New Securities having substantially comparable provisions to this Agreement to the extent reasonably applicable, with such additions and modifications hereto as are appropriate to such transaction and upon which the parties may reasonably and in good faith agree.

(d) Sales to Other Persons. If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 9.9(b), the Corporation may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 9.9(b), offer and sell any or all of the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon other terms not materially more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Corporation does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within forty-five (45) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to each ROFO Holder in accordance with this Section 9.9.

(e) Preferred Stock. Nothing in this Section 9.9 is intended to relieve, or have the effect of relieving, the Corporation from any of its covenants or obligations under Section 8(c) of the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary or Section 8(c) of the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary.

(f) Termination. The provisions of this Section 9.9 shall terminate upon the redemption of all Preferred Shares. The provisions of this Section 9.9 shall terminate earlier than as provided above with respect to any given ROFO Holder, and such Person shall cease to be a ROFO Holder hereunder, upon the earlier to occur of (I) such time as such ROFO Holder, together with its Affiliates, ceases to hold any Preferred Shares, and (II) the failure of such ROFO Holder, together with its Affiliates, to purchase, in any bona fide transaction subject to this Section 9.9, at least such ROFO Holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the New Securities actually issued and sold by the Corporation in such transaction in compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.9, provided that the aggregate purchase price received by the Corporation in respect of the portion of such New Securities issued and sold in such transaction to one or more of (x) the ROFO Holders and their respective Affiliates and (y) any other Person that is not a Related Person shall be at least $50,000,000.

9.10 No Impairment. So long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall:

(a) comply with its obligations under the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, and the Corporation shall not take any action or make any omission that, with notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a violation of (i) Section 8(c) of the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary or (ii) Section 8(c) of the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary; and

(b) not take or permit any action, or cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries (including as a Subsidiary, for purposes of this Section 9.10(b), any entity that would become a Subsidiary of the Corporation upon consummation of the contribution of the Planned Contributed Properties) to take or permit any action that would cause the Corporation to be prohibited from making any payments or distributions required to be made pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, any action that would prohibit the Corporation from making distributions under the MGCL.

9.11 Director and Officer Insurance. So long as either Purchaser has a designee on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Corporation shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage in such amounts and on such terms as is customary for a publicly traded company of similar size to the Corporation. Such insurance shall include coverage for all directors of the Corporation, including any director designated (individually or jointly) by either Purchaser. The Purchasers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the Closing Date, a copy of which has been furnished to the Purchasers, complies with this Section 9.11 as of the date hereof; provided that, upon the reasonable request of any of the Purchasers from time to time, to modify or increase the coverage of the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that is then in effect in light of the circumstances existing at such time, then the

-34-

Corporation shall make such modifications or increase to such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or, if applicable, purchase an additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy) as may be required, if at all, to comply with this Section 9.11.

9.12 Access. In addition to any other rights provided by law or set forth herein, from and after the Closing Date, (a) the Corporation shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, give the Purchasers and their respective representatives access during reasonable business hours to (i) all properties, assets, books, contracts, commitments, reports and records relating to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the management, accountants, lenders, customers and suppliers of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; (b) with respect to each Contributed Property to be contributed by ELRH or any Affiliate thereof for which the consummation of such contribution remains pending, ELRH shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, give the Purchasers and their respective representatives reasonable access to all information regarding the business, properties and liabilities of ELRH and its Affiliates to the same extent and under the same conditions granted to the Corporation under the Master Agreement; and (c) with respect to each Contributed Property to be contributed by XxXxxxxxx or any Affiliate thereof for which the consummation of such contribution remains pending, XxXxxxxxx shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, give the Purchasers and their respective representatives reasonable access to all information regarding the business, properties and liabilities of XxXxxxxxx and its Affiliates to the same extent and under the same conditions granted to the Operating Partnership under the XxXxxxxxx Contribution Agreements; provided, however, in each case, that a party shall not be required to provide such access to any information or Persons if such party reasonably determines that access to such information or Persons would violate the attorney-client privilege between such party or any Affiliate thereof and its counsel that cannot be provided to the Purchasers in a manner that would avoid the violation of such attorney-client privilege. The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall terminate upon the redemption of all Preferred Shares. In addition, with respect to any Purchaser, the rights of such Purchaser under this Section 9.12 shall terminate as to such Purchaser at such time as such Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, ceases to hold any Preferred Shares.

9.13 Amendments to Transaction Documents. So long as any Preferred Shares are held by any of OPTrust, XxXxxxxxx and their respective Affiliates, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, become or remain subject to any agreement or instrument, except for the Transaction Documents, that would prohibit or require the consent of any Person to any amendment, modification or supplement to any of this Agreement, the Warrants, the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary, the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, the Put and ROFR Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Governance Agreement, the Master Agreement or the XxXxxxxxx Contribution Agreements. For avoidance of doubt, any and all approval requirements of (i) shareholders of the Corporation or partners of the Operating Partnership under their respective Organizational Documents or under applicable Laws or (ii) lenders to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective properties (including for this purpose any Planned Contributed Properties) shall be disregarded for purposes of this Section 9.13.

9.14 Integration. The Corporation shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Corporation shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be

-35-

integrated with the offer or sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants hereunder in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of any Preferred Shares or Warrants hereunder to the Purchasers.

9.15 Appraisal. Schedule B hereto sets forth the agreed value, for purposes of the leverage restrictions set forth in the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, of each property owned by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. Schedule C hereto sets forth the agreed value, for purposes of the leverage restrictions set forth in the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary, of each Planned Contributed Property. So long as any Preferred Shares are held by any of OPTrust, XxXxxxxxx and their respective Affiliates, the Corporation shall cause an appraisal of each property owned by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to be undertaken on December 1 of each calendar year. All appraisals required under this Section 9.15 shall be performed by a nationally recognized independent real property appraisal firm having specialized knowledge and expertise in the appraisal of multi-family residential properties; provided, however, any appraiser selected by the Corporation to perform appraisals required under this Section 9.15 shall be rotated at least once every three years (with the first such three-year period commencing on the Closing Date). The Corporation shall cause all such appraisals to be completed and distributed to each Purchaser not later than the January 20th immediately following the date of such respective update or appraisal. The cost of any annual appraisal and update obtained pursuant to this Section 9.15 shall be borne by the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 9.15 shall terminate upon the redemption of all Preferred Shares. In addition, with respect to any Purchaser, the rights of such Purchaser under this Section 9.15 shall terminate at such time as such Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, ceases to hold any Preferred Shares.

9.16 Use of Proceeds. The Corporation shall use the proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the Securities at the Closing solely for the purposes and at the time or times set forth in this Section 9.16 or on Schedule A hereto, as such Schedule may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement of the Corporation, OPTrust, XxXxxxxxx and ELRH (the “Use of Proceeds Schedule”), and any fees shall be capped at the amounts indicated therein. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of such proceeds may be used for the payment of distributions or dividends to the Corporation’s stockholders or to limited partners of the Operating Partnership. Any proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the Securities at the Closing, net of amounts paid or set aside for payment on or about the Closing Date in accordance with the Use of Proceeds Schedule (including, without limitation, an aggregate amount of $7,000,000 deposited in escrow on or about the Closing Date pursuant to the XxXxxxxxx Contribution Agreements), shall be deposited on the Closing Date in one or more segregated bank accounts of the Corporation (collectively, the “Proceeds Accounts”). No withdrawals shall be permitted from the Proceeds Accounts without the written consent of OPTrust (so long as any of OPTrust and its Affiliates hold any Preferred Shares) and XxXxxxxxx (so long as any of XxXxxxxxx and its Affiliates hold any Preferred Shares), other than for (i) specific transaction costs that are required to be paid after the Closing Date as indicated on the Use of Proceeds Schedule as and when such amounts become due and (ii) expenditures in connection with the acquisition of additional multi-family residential properties in markets in the United States where the Corporation or ELRH has previously established a management presence (should there be any dispute regarding the existence of such management presence, the final determination of such management presence

-36-

shall be made by the Purchasers in their reasonable discretion), provided such acquisition is approved by the Board of Directors. For so long as a Purchaser or any of its Affiliates holds any Preferred Shares, with respect to each calendar month in which any such withdrawals are made, the Corporation shall furnish a written report to such Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the end of such month specifying in reasonable detail the dates and amounts of such withdrawals and the purposes therefor.

9.17 Other Reporting Obligations. (a) During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Corporation shall deliver to each Purchaser by mail and without cost to such Purchaser the following reports in the form that the Corporation would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as if the Corporation were subject thereto as well as the other documents listed herein:

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event within the time frame prescribed for the filing of an annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act after the end of each fiscal year, an annual report on Form 10-K, and to the extent not included in such Form 10-K, an income statement of the Corporation for such fiscal year, a balance sheet of the Corporation and statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such fiscal year, and a statement of cash flows for such fiscal year, such year-end financial reports to be prepared on a consolidated basis, in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and audited and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Corporation; and

(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event within the time frame prescribed for the filing of a quarterly report pursuant to the Exchange Act for each fiscal quarter of each fiscal year of the Corporation, a quarterly report on Form 10-K, and to the extent not included in such Form 10-Q, an unaudited income statement and statement of cash flows for such fiscal quarter and an unaudited balance sheet and a statement of stockholder’s equity as of the end of such fiscal quarter prepared on a consolidated basis.

(b) The Corporation at its sole cost and expense shall furnish to each of OPTrust and XxXxxxxxx (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5):

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event at least 30 days prior to the end of each fiscal year, a budget for the next fiscal year, prepared on a monthly basis, including income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows for such months, and, as soon as prepared, any other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Corporation;

(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, annual fair value statements, with a December 31 year-end, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); and

-37-

(iii) as soon as practicable, any additional reports as may be reasonably requested by such Purchaser from time to time for its own internal purposes.

(c) Audits. The Corporation shall be audited annually by a nationally recognized accounting firm (which firm is initially anticipated to be Ernst & Young).

(d) Termination. The provisions of this Section 9.17 shall terminate upon the redemption of all Preferred Shares. In addition, with respect to any Purchaser, the rights of such Purchaser under this Section 9.17 shall terminate at such time as such Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, ceases to hold any Preferred Shares.

9.18 Affiliate Transactions. So long as any Preferred Shares are held by any of OPTrust, XxXxxxxxx and their respective Affiliates, no Related Person shall: (i) owe any amount to any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, nor shall any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries owe any amount to, nor shall any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries commit to make any loan or extend or guarantee credit to or for the benefit of, any Related Person; (ii) have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, or be an officer, director, employee, consultant or agent of, any Person that has a business relationship with any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; or (iii) own, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any real property, leasehold interests or other property, or any permits, the use of which is necessary for the conduct of the business of any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.18 shall not apply to (I) the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents as of the date hereof without giving effect to any amendment, modification or waiver thereof, (II) any Qualified Contribution Transaction (with respect to OPTrust, as such term is defined in the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and, with respect to XxXxxxxxx, as such term is defined in the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary), and (III) any other transaction or arrangement that is approved in writing by each of OPTrust and XxXxxxxxx (which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld, provided that such transaction or arrangement is made on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries than such terms and conditions as may be attained in a transaction not involving a Related Person). The provisions of this Section 9.18 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other applicable restrictions that may be set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Corporation (including the Charter) and elsewhere in the Transaction Documents (including the Series A Preferred Articles Supplementary and the Series B Preferred Articles Supplementary) or as may be provided by the MGCL or other applicable Laws. The provisions of this Section 9.18 shall terminate upon the redemption of all Preferred Shares. In addition, with respect to any Purchaser, the rights of such Purchaser under this Section 9.18 shall terminate at such time as such Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, ceases to hold any Preferred Shares.

9.19 Investment Company Act. At any time while any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall make all reasonable efforts to conduct its affairs, and to cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their affairs, in such a manner as to ensure that neither the Corporation nor its Subsidiaries will be or become an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

ARTICLE X.

Survival and Indemnification

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive, as applicable to each Purchaser, until the date upon which all of the shares of the series of Preferred Stock applicable to such Purchaser have been redeemed and shall be unaffected by any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any party in favor of which any such representation and warranty has been made; except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.6 (Authorization of Preferred Stock), Section 3.14 (Private Placement), Section 3.16 (Waiver of Ownership Limits), Section 3.19 (Certain Fees) and Section 3.20 (Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities) shall survive indefinitely. Any claim for indemnification in respect of any representation or warranty that is not asserted by notice given as herein provided relating thereto prior to the expiration of the specified period of survival shall not be pursued and is hereby irrevocably waived after the expiration of such period of survival. Any claim for a Loss in respect of such a breach asserted within such period of survival as herein provided will be timely made for purposes hereof.

(b) Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), the covenants in this Agreement will survive and remain in effect indefinitely.

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser from and against any and all Losses incurred, arising out of or relating to:

(i) any breach by the Corporation of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Corporation in this Agreement;

(ii) any dividend or other distributions of any nature declared or paid by the Corporation in respect of the Preferred Stock, including any redemption or purchase thereof by the Corporation, that is claimed or alleged to have been made, or actually made, in violation of any applicable Laws;

(iii) any claim or Proceedings against the Corporation or such Purchaser in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby commenced by (A) any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any stockholder, director, or officer of the Corporation (other than such Purchaser and such Purchaser’s respective Affiliates and their respective representatives), or any representative thereof, including, without limitation, any allegation or claim that the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are invalid or illegal, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith or willful malfeasance of any of such Purchaser and such Purchaser’s respective Affiliates; and

-39-

(iv) any claim or Proceedings against a Purchaser commenced by any director, officer, employee or other representative of such Purchaser (a “Representative”) who, in his or her capacity as a Representative of the Purchaser, has been appointed as a director of the Corporation, and (A) as a result of, or in connection with such Representative’s position as a director of the Corporation, is or becomes subject to any claim or Proceedings (the “Originating Proceedings”), and (B) such Representative makes a claim or commences Proceedings against the Purchaser in respect of an indemnity claim or claim for loss resulting from the Originating Proceedings; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser under this clause (iv) to the extent that the Corporation is prohibited under applicable law from indemnifying such Representative in respect of such Originating Proceedings.

(e) Without limitation to Section 10.2(a), from and after the Closing and for so long as any Series A Preferred Shares are held by any of OPTrust and its Affiliates, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each of OPTrust and its Affiliates from and against any and all U.S. federal, state or local income or withholding tax incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee as a holder of Series A Preferred Shares with respect to any gain that is treated as recognized by such holder from a sale or exchange (or deemed sale or exchange) by any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries under Code section 897(h)(1) of a “United States real property interest” as defined in Code section 897(c)(1) and that results from any distribution made by the Corporation.

(f) The conduct of any Proceedings for which indemnification is available under this Section 10.2 shall be governed by Section 10.3. The indemnification obligations of any Indemnitor under this Section 10.2 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Purchasers hereunder for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants addressed thereby, other than for fraud and equitable remedies, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Purchasers.

-40-

10.3 Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third-Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay.

(b) Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee so long as (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnitee has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any such Losses, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment in respect of, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee, and (v) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3(b), (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld), and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld); provided, however, that, in respect of clause (iii) above, the Indemnitee may condition such consent upon the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a duly executed unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

(d) In the event any condition set forth in Section 10.3(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, provided that the Indemnitee will consult with and obtain the consent of the Indemnitor in connection therewith which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld, (ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 10.3.

-41-

10.4 Direct Claims. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to any claim by an Indemnitee on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”). If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee.

10.5 Certain Other Matters. Upon making any Indemnity Payment Indemnitor will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee against any third person (other than an insurance company) in respect of the Loss to which the Indemnity Payment related; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitor shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loss and (ii) until Indemnitee fully recovers payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnitor against any such third person on account of such Indemnity Payment will be subrogated and subordinated in right of payment to Indemnitee’s rights against such third person. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights. Any Indemnity Payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the applicable purchase price.

Notice shall be deemed given, received, and effective on: (i) if given by personal delivery or courier service, the date of actual receipt by the receiving party, or if delivery is refused on the date delivery was first attempted; (ii) if given by certified mail, the third day after being so mailed if posted with the United States Postal Service; and (iii) if given by facsimile, the date on which the facsimile is transmitted if confirmed by transmission report during the transmitter’s normal business hours, or at the beginning of the next business day after transmission if confirmed at any time other than the transmitter’s normal business hours. Any person entitled to notice may change any address or facsimile number to which notice is to be given to it by giving notice of such change of address or facsimile number as provided in this Section 11.10. The inability to deliver notice because of changed address or facsimile number of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date such attempt was first made.

11.11 No Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation agrees that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf may assert any claim or cause of action against any officer, director, stockholder, controlling person, manager, member, partner, employer, agent, representative, or affiliate of any Purchaser or such Purchaser’s officers, directors, stockholders, controlling persons, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, or representatives in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any such Person is or becomes a party to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held (by a court of competent jurisdiction) to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under the applicable Law of any jurisdiction, (i) the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances or in other jurisdictions shall not be affected thereby, and (ii) such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

11.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if the any party refuses to perform under this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate the other parties for their injuries. Therefore, each party shall, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, be entitled to obtain specific performance of this Agreement. If any action, suit, or proceeding is instituted by any party to enforce this Agreement, each of the other party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a default by any party that results in the filing of an action for damages, specific performance, or other remedies, the other parties shall be entitled to reimbursement by the defaulting party of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by it.

11.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.15 Waiver. The rights and remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy that may be available to any party whether at law, in equity, or otherwise. No delay, forbearance, or neglect by any party, whether in one or more instances, in the exercise or any right, power, privilege, or remedy hereunder or in the enforcement of any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a waiver thereof. With respect to any rights of the Purchasers collectively, or any obligations of any party other than OPTrust, under this Agreement, no waiver of any provision, consent required hereunder or departure from this Agreement shall be valid unless expressly and affirmatively made in writing and executed by OPTrust (such waivers or consents to be made or given in OPTrust’s sole and absolute discretion), except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any other waiver or consent shall be valid or binding only if expressly and affirmatively made in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged with such waiver. No waiver shall constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver or a waiver in respect of any subsequent breach or default, either of similar or different nature, unless expressly so stated in such writing. * * * * *
