All of the outstanding ownership interests of the Contributed Entity are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of the Contributed Entity are owned as set forth in Schedule 6.1(b), in each case free from all Liens.

Upon delivery to the Partnership on the Subsequent Closing Date of the Interests as contemplated by this Agreement, the Contributor will thereby transfer to the Partnership good and marketable title to the Interests, free and clear of all Liens.

This indemnity shall survive the Subsequent Closing or termination of this Agreement for six (6) months.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Contributor shall, and shall cause the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner, their Subsidiaries and the Existing Manager to, in the Ordinary Course, file all renewal applications for the applicable Permits on a timely basis, enforce the Leases in all material respects and pay all costs and expenses of the Property which are the applicable Person’s responsibility to pay. Additionally, the Contributor agrees that it will, and will cause each Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and their Subsidiaries to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any Material Adverse Change.

8.3 Maintenance; Contracts. Subject to the requirements and obligations set forth in Section 8.8, between the Effective Date and the Subsequent Closing Date, the Contributor shall, and shall cause the Property Owner to, maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to the Property Owner’s Ordinary Course, subject to reasonable wear and tear and further subject to the occurrence of any damage or destruction to the Real Property by casualty or other causes or events beyond the control of such Person. The Contributor shall not permit the Property Owner to make any withdrawals from any capital reserve accounts in amounts in excess of $10,000.00 without providing prior written notice to the

Partnership. Between the Effective Date and the Subsequent Closing Date, the Contributor shall not permit the Property Owner to enter into any Contract with respect to the Property which will survive the Subsequent Closing or will otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Property after the Subsequent Closing, unless the Contributor first shall have obtained the Partnership’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

8.4 New Leases; Vacant Units. From the Effective Date to the Subsequent Closing Date, the Contributor shall cause the Property Owner not to enter into any new Leases with respect to the Property without the Partnership’s prior written consent unless such new Leases are on the Property Owner’s standard form residential lease, the rent and landlord concessions and incentives are consistent with the Property Owners’ current practices and current market conditions, and the Leases are otherwise entered into in the Ordinary Course of the Property Owners’ business of leasing and operating the Property.

8.5 Audits of the Property and Operations.

If the Contributor, or the Property Owner, does not complete the Required Capital Improvements on or prior to the Subsequent Closing Date to the Partnership’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with the previous sentence, the Partnership’s

sole remedy shall be a decrease in the Agreed Contribution Value in an amount equal to the Partnership’s reasonable estimate of the remaining cost to complete the Required Capital Improvements, based upon the budgeted cost thereof as set forth on Schedule 8.8, and such amount shall be settled in accordance with the apportionments set forth in Section 9.1.

SECTION 9.

APPORTIONMENTS; CLOSING COSTS.

9.1 Apportionments. The Partnership and the Contributor agree that, at and as of the date of the Initial Closing, all normal and customarily proratable items, including, without limitation, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), invoiced rents and other income, and operating contract payments shall be prorated with respect to the Property as of the date of the Initial Closing, with Contributor being charged and credited for all of the same relating to the period up to the date of the Initial Closing and the Partnership being charged and credited for all of the same relating to the period on and after the date of the Initial Closing. All apportionments hereunder shall be settled in OP Units or as otherwise agreed by the parties as set forth in the Settlement Statement to be delivered at the Subsequent Closing.

(a) To the extent not covered by any tax escrows held by the Property Owner or the Lender, all real estate taxes, and items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be prorated between the Contributor and the Partnership based upon amounts due and payable, on an accrual basis, in the calendar year in which the Initial Closing occurs except as set forth below. All prorations of real estate taxes shall be based upon the most recent available full year’s tax bills, and, if applicable, subject to re-proration when the actual tax xxxx for the applicable fiscal tax year in which the Initial Closing occurs is received. All escrow and reserve accounts (including without limitation, all capital improvement reserves and taxes and insurance escrows) held in connection with the Property by the existing Lender of the existing Loan that will be either refinanced and replaced at the Subsequent Closing by the new Loan or remain in place and be assumed shall, upon such refinance or assumption , either (i) be paid directly to the new Lender to be held for the same purposes with respect to the new Loan or continue to be held by the existing Lender if the existing Loan is assumed or (ii) be paid to the Property Owner and shall follow the Property, and those held by the Contributor shall follow the Property, and shall be prorated and credited to the Contributor in the manner set forth in the Settlement Statement.

(b) Invoiced rents and other charges, other than for Tenants who owe Delinquent Amounts (as hereinafter defined), shall be prorated. Prepaid rents and other charges shall be credited to the Partnership. Without limiting the foregoing, rent and all other sums which are due and payable to the Property Owner by any Tenant, whether or not collected as of the Initial Closing, shall be adjusted, but the Partnership shall not be required to cause the rent and other sums for the period prior to Initial Closing to be remitted to the Contributor if, as, and when collected. At the Initial Closing, the Contributor’s Representative shall deliver to the Partnership a schedule of all rent, charges and other amounts payable by Tenants after the Initial Closing with respect to which the Contributor is entitled to receive a share under this Agreement, and any amount due and owing to the Property Owner before the Initial Closing by Tenants under the Leases which are unpaid on the date of the Initial Closing (such amounts are collectively referred to herein as the “Delinquent Amounts”). Rental and other payments received by the Partnership from Tenants shall first be applied toward the Partnership’s actual out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of collection, and then toward the payment of current rent and other charges owed to the Partnership for periods after the Initial Closing, and any excess monies received shall be applied toward the payment of Delinquent Amounts; provided, however, that any rent received by the Partnership from Tenants who owe Delinquent Amounts during the month in which the Initial Closing occurs shall first be applied to

the payment of such Tenants’ Delinquent Amounts, if any, with respect to the month in which the Initial Closing occurs, and not toward the payment of rent and other charges for previous or subsequent months. The Partnership may not waive any Delinquent Amounts or modify a Lease so as to reduce amounts or charges owed under Leases for any period in which the Contributor is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts, without first obtaining the written consent of the Contributor. If a Delinquent Amount due the Contributors is not paid by a Tenant within the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the Initial Closing or (ii) sixty (60) days after billing therefor, the Contributor shall have the right to attempt to effect collection by litigation or otherwise so long as the Contributor does not take any action which would affect such Tenant’s right to occupy its leased premises or terminate its Lease. With respect to Delinquent Amounts owed by Tenants that are no longer Tenants of the Real Property as of the date of Initial Closing, the Contributor shall retain all rights relating thereto.

(c) To the extent security deposits, pet deposits or other deposits paid by Tenants under Leases are held in the name of the Property Owner, such deposits shall continue to be held by the Property Owner so as to be available to the Property Owner after the Initial Closing, or if such deposits are held by the Existing Manager, all such deposits shall be transferred to the applicable Property Owner or to the Partnership’s property manager prior to the Subsequent Closing. There shall be no apportionment or proration of any insurance premiums or costs or expenses related to the employment of any persons at the Property.

(d) The following items shall also be prorated between the Contributor and the Partnership as of the Initial Closing:

(i) Fuel, water and sewer service charges, and charges for gas, electricity, telephone and all other utility and fuel charges, as well as all deposits to utility companies, governmental entities or any other person shall be prorated ratably on the basis of the last ascertainable bills (and reprorated upon receipt of the actual bills or invoices) to the extent not paid directly by Tenants under their respective Leases unless final meter readings and final invoices can be obtained. To the extent practicable, the Contributor’s Representative shall cause meters for utilities to be read not more than one (1) day prior to the date of the Initial Closing.

(ii) Assignable license and permit fees paid on an annual or other periodic basis.

(iii) Prepaid interest or other payments paid to the Lender under the Loan.

(iv) Cash then being held in the Property Owner (other than security deposits, as provided in Section 9.1(c) above) shall be prorated as of the Initial Closing and, notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.1(g) below, the applicable prorated amount shall be distributed to the Contributor immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing.

(v) Such other items that are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature (including, without limitation, any utilities paid by the Property Owner under the Leases).

(e) For purposes hereof, unless this Agreement terminates, the Partnership shall be deemed to be the owner of the Contributed Entity and the Property Owner and, therefore, entitled to the income from the Property and responsible for the expenses of the Property for the entire day upon which the Initial Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Initial Closing. To the extent information necessary to make such prorations is not available at the Initial Closing or is determined to be inaccurate or incomplete after the Initial Closing, the amount of such prorations shall be subject to adjustment in OP Units (or as otherwise agreed by the parties) after the Initial Closing as and when complete and accurate information becomes available and at the Subsequent Closing. All prorations shall otherwise be final. The Contributor and the Partnership agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after the Initial Closing as to all items except tax prorations, subject to mutual agreement to extend such sixty (60) day period, and in all events prior to the Subsequent Closing and with respect to tax prorations, the parties shall make such adjustments upon receipt of the actual tax bills covering the period in which the Initial Closing occurs. Except as set forth in this Section 9.1, all items of income and expense for the period prior to the Initial Closing will be for the account of the Contributor and all items of income and expense for the period on and after the Initial Closing will be for the account of the Partnership, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting. Bills received after the Initial Closing which relate to expenses incurred, services performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Initial Closing shall be paid by the Contributor.

(f) Amounts on deposit with utility companies shall be credited to the Contributor. The Contributor shall, from and after the Initial Closing, at the Contributor’s sole cost and expense, have control over any ongoing tax appeals as to the Property that were commenced prior to the Initial Closing and that pertain solely to the periods that the Contributor owned the Contributed Entity. The Contributor shall, as applicable, retain all proceeds or reductions obtained from such appeals or pay all additional taxes or delinquencies imposed for such periods. The Contributors shall keep the Partnership informed as to any such appeals and to the extent that ongoing tax appeals pertain to periods that include any period after the Initial Closing or which are reasonably expected to result in higher tax assessment or payment, the Partnership shall be entitled to join in such appeal and/or pursue its own appeal, at the Partnership’s expense, from and after the date of the Initial Closing.

(g) Without limiting the terms of Sections 8.7 or 9.1(d)(iv) above, the parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Initial Closing until immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing, as provided in clause (ii) below, (i) the Contributed Entity shall not declare, pay or otherwise make provision for any dividends or distributions and (ii) immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing, in addition to any prorations, adjustments or other amounts payable by or to the Contributor with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property, as provided herein, the Contributed Entity shall distribute to the Contributor receiving OP Units an amount equal to the amount such Contributor would have been paid as a distribution on account of the OP Units it will receive at the Subsequent Closing had such OP Units been issued and sold to such Contributor at the Initial Closing.

(h) The parties acknowledge and agree that the gross fair market value of the portions of the Property treated as personal property under the Code is equal to the tax basis in such personal property and at the Subsequent Closing, the parties will reasonably agree on a fair market value allocation of value between the Land and Improvements.

(i) The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Initial Closing.

9.2 Closing Costs.

(a) Partnership. The Partnership shall pay at the Initial Closing and Subsequent Closing all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, including but not limited to (i) all survey and title costs associated with the Real Property, (ii) all Loan Costs associated with the Lender Approval, (iii) all Transfer Taxes with respect to the Real Property, (iv) the Partnership’s other due diligence expenses, subject to Section 10.3, (v) the legal fees and expenses, audit fees and expenses, and financial advisory fees and expenses of the Partnership, and (vi) the legal fees and expenses, audit fees and expenses, and financial advisory fees and expenses of the Contributor, except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.2(b) below.

(b) Contributor. If this Agreement is terminated by the Partnership as a result of a default by the Contributor pursuant to Section 10.3 below, the Contributor shall be responsible for any and all legal fees and expenses, audit fees and expenses, and financial advisory fees and expenses of the Contributor and the Contributor’s Representative.

SECTION 10.

TERMINATION; REMEDIES FOR PRE-CLOSING DEFAULTS.

10.1 Termination. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned:

(a) Upon termination by either the Partnership or the Contributor if the Closing Contingencies have not occurred on or before the Outside Closing Date; or

10.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, then unless the terms of this Agreement, including Sections 10.3 and 10.4 below, specifically provide otherwise, no Person shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for those obligations or liabilities which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

10.3 Partnership’s Remedies for Pre-Closing Default. Without affecting any rights contained in Article XI of the Master Contribution Agreement or in the Governance Agreement, if any Contributor shall fail to perform when it is obligated to do so any of the covenants and agreements contained herein and such condition or failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof from the Partnership to the Contributor, then the Partnership’s sole remedy shall be either:

(a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, except with respect to provisions hereof which by their express terms survive a termination of this Agreement, and the Contributor shall, within three (3) Business Days following the termination, reimburse the Partnership for all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with this Agreement;

(b) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such default, without any abatement or reduction in the Agreed Contribution Value on account thereof; or

(c) to compel specific performance of this Agreement, or if the remedy of specific performance is unavailable to the Partnership as a result of Contributed Entity’s intentional transfer of the Property (excluding the transfer of a portion of the Property due to a condemnation, or the transfer of immaterial amounts of personal property in the Ordinary Course) or the Contributor’s intentional transfer of the Interests to a Person other than the Partnership, other than as a result of a foreclosure, deed in lieu thereof, or similar lender remedy, then the Contributor shall reimburse the Partnership for all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with this Agreement.

THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE CONTRIBUTOR AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY PARTNERSHIP IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.3 AND THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE CONTRIBUTOR AGREE THAT THE ABOVE DESCRIBED AMOUNTS CONSTITUTE A FAIR AND REASONABLE AMOUNT TO BE RECEIVED BY THE PARTNERSHIP AS AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.3, AS WELL AS A FAIR, REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY AMOUNT TO BE PAID AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO A PARTNERSHIP IN AN ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTION OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT UPON A DEFAULT BY CONTRIBUTOR THEREUNDER; AND RECEIPT BY THE PARTNERSHIP OF SUCH AMOUNTS UPON THE CONTRIBUTOR’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY OR A FORFEITURE.

If the Partnership shall fail to perform when it is obligated to do so any of the covenants and agreements contained herein and such condition or failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof from the Contributor, then the Contributor’s sole remedy shall be either:

(a) to terminate this Agreement and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, except with respect to provisions hereof which by their express terms survive a termination of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall, within three (3) Business Days following the termination, (i) pay to the Contributor the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) as liquidated damages, and (ii) reimburse the Contributor for all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Contributor in connection with this Agreement;

(b) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such default, without any abatement or reduction in the Agreed Contribution Value on account thereof; or

THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE CONTRIBUTOR AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY THE CONTRIBUTOR IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.4 AND THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE CONTRIBUTOR AGREE THAT THE PAYMENT REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A FAIR AND REASONABLE AMOUNT TO BE RECEIVED BY THE CONTRIBUTOR AS AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.4, AS WELL AS A FAIR, REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY AMOUNT TO BE PAID AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO A CONTRIBUTOR IN AN ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTION OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT UPON A DEFAULT BY THE PARTNERSHIP THEREUNDER; AND RECEIPT BY THE CONTRIBUTOR OF THE PAYMENT REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT UPON THE PARTNERSHIP’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY OR A FORFEITURE.

The parties further confirm and agree that no party hereto (a “Non-Performing Party”) will be deemed to be in default hereunder or be liable for any breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement if its failure to perform an obligation hereunder is based solely on the non-performance of another party to this Agreement (which other party is not an Affiliate of the Non-Performing Party) or where all conditions precedent to the obligation of such Non-Performing Party to consummate the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing under Sections 4 or 5, as applicable, have not been fulfilled.

(b) Maximum Liability Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Subsequent Closing of the transactions hereunder shall have occurred: (i) the Contributor shall have no liability (and the Partnership shall make no claim against the Contributor) for a breach of any representation or warranty or any other obligation of the Contributor or for indemnification under this Agreement or any document executed by the Contributor in connection with this Agreement which relates in any manner to the transactions contemplated hereby unless and only to the extent the valid claims for all such breaches and indemnifications collectively aggregate to more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) (the “Basket”) and the liability of the Contributor under this Agreement and such

other documents delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall in no event exceed (except as provided below), in the aggregate, an amount equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Cap”); and (iii) in no event shall the Contributor be liable for any consequential or punitive damages.

(c) Constituent Liability. No constituent member or partner in or agent of the Partnership, the Contributor, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, member, partner, participant, representative or agent of any partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other entity that has or acquires a direct or indirect interest in the Partnership or the Contributor, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and the Partnership, the Contributor and their respective successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to the Partnership’s and the Contributor’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and the Partnership and the Contributor, on behalf of themselves and their respective successors and assigns, hereby waive any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any constituent member or partner in the Partnership or the Contributor (or in any other constituent member or partner thereof), nor any obligation of any constituent member or partner in the Partnership or the Contributor (or in any other constituent member or partner thereof) to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to the Partnership or the Contributor (or to any other constituent member or partner thereof), shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of the Partnership or the Contributor or any such other constituent member or partner (and neither the Partnership, the Contributor nor any of their respective successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account or a member’s or partner’s obligation to restore or contribute). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 10.5(c) shall have no impact on, and shall be superseded by, any agreement, whether entered into prior to or after the Effective Date, related to the allocation of assets and/or liabilities between the Contributor, its respective successors and assigns, or any constituent member, partner or subsidiary thereof.

(d) The terms of this Section 10 shall survive the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closing.

SECTION 11.

INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Contributor’s Indemnity. The Contributor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Partnership and its successors and assigns, ATA, and their respective employees, directors, members, partners, affiliates and agents harmless of and from all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which they may suffer or incur by reason of (a) any breach by the Contributor of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, (b) any act or cause of action occurring or accruing prior to the Subsequent Closing Date and arising from the ownership of the Interests or the Contributed Entity prior to the Subsequent Closing Date, and (c) the ownership or operation of the Contributed Entity or the Property and relating to the period prior to the Subsequent Closing

Date, including, without limitation, actions or claims relating to damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring or arising during the period prior to the Subsequent Closing Date, or any claims for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the Property’s operations at any time prior to the Subsequent Closing Date.

11.2 Partnership’s Indemnity. ATA and the Partnership jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Contributor, the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and their respective employees, directors, members, partners, affiliates and agents (the “Contributor Indemnitees”) harmless of and from all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which the Contributor Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of (a) any breach by the Partnership of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, (b) any act or cause of action occurring or accruing on or after the Subsequent Closing Date and arising from the ownership of the Interests or the Contributed Entity on or after to the Subsequent Closing Date, and (c) the ownership or operation of the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or the Property and relating to the period on or after the Subsequent Closing Date, including, without limitation, actions or claims relating to damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring or arising during the period on or after the Subsequent Closing Date, or any claims for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the Property’ operations at any time on or after the Subsequent Closing Date.

11.3 Indemnification Procedure. All claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2 (“Claims”) shall be made in a reasonably detailed writing, which shall include, without limitation, the amount so demanded for such Claim (to the extent readily calculable), by the party seeking to be indemnified (the “Indemnified Party”) and sent to the addresses set forth in the notice provisions set forth herein (the “Indemnification Notice”). The making of a Claim pursuant to a properly delivered and reasonably detailed Indemnification Notice shall toll the running of the limitation period set forth above with respect to that specific Claim. The party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall have ten (10) days after such Indemnification Notice is received to either (i) agree to the Indemnified Party’s demand, or (ii) refuse such demand for indemnification. Should the Indemnifying Party fail to respond to the Indemnified Party’s Indemnification Notice within such ten (10) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party as requested in such Indemnification Notice. In the event that the Indemnifying Party refuses to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to such Indemnification Notice, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such Claim for indemnity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.4 Survival. The Terms of this Section 11 shall survive the Initial Closing and Subsequent Closing.

SECTION 12.

TAX MATTERS.

12.1 Tax Matters. The Contributor shall pay and indemnify, without duplication, the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner, their Subsidiaries, ATA and the Partnership for the following Taxes (and all related Adverse Consequences, including all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending an audit or other claim relating to such Taxes, but excluding any Transfer Taxes):

(a) all such Taxes resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6.1(f) or a breach of any provision of this Section 12;

(b) with respect to such Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period: (i) all such Taxes of each Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and each of their Subsidiaries; and (ii) all such Taxes of any other Person that any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries is liable for as a result of transferee liability, successor liability, or a contractual obligation, in each case, that is attributable to, or arose as a result of actions or breaches, incurred in such Pre-Closing Tax Period; and

(c) with respect to such Taxes attributable to any Straddle Period: (i) the Taxes of each Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and each of its Subsidiaries attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on the Initial Closing Date, as determined under Section 12.2; and (ii) the Taxes of any other Person that any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries is liable for as a result of transferee liability, successor liability, or a contractual obligation, in each case, that is attributable to, or arose as a result of actions or breaches, incurred on or before the Initial Closing Date, as determined under Section 12.2.

12.2 Allocation of Taxes. For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and Straddle Periods for purposes of any obligation to indemnify for Taxes under Section 12.1, the parties agree to use the following conventions:

(a) Taxes in the form of interest, penalties, additions to tax or other additional amounts that are actually incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on or after the Initial Closing Date but that relate to Taxes that accrued on or before the Initial Closing Date shall be treated as occurring prior to the Initial Closing Date;

(b) Except for Transfer Taxes and any other Taxes for which the Partnership is responsible hereunder and for real estate taxes (apportioned pursuant to Section 9.1), for all Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that is attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Initial Closing Date shall be allocated between the portion of the period ending on the Initial Closing Date and the portion of the period beginning after the Initial Closing Date using the following conventions:

(i) in the case of such Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, net or gross income, Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, any sale, receipt, use, transfer or assignments of property or other asset, or Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, any payment or accrual of any amounts (including, without limitation, dividends, interest, or wages), the amount allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Initial Closing Date shall be the amount of Tax that would be payable for such portion of the Straddle Period if such Person filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes or Taxes solely for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Initial Closing Date using a “closing of the books” methodology for allocating items of such Tax Return; and

(ii) in the case of all other such Taxes, the amount allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Initial Closing Date shall equal to the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Initial Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

For purposes of clause (i), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the affects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Initial Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

12.3 Cooperation. Each the parties hereto shall provide the Partnership and the Contributor with such assistance as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other Proceeding by any Governmental Authority relating to liabilities for Taxes. Such assistance shall, upon reasonable written notice, include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide additional information or explanation of material provided hereunder and shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns and supporting material. The Contributor shall provide to the Partnership, the Property Owner and the Contributed Entity with any information that the Contributed Entity and the Property Owner reasonably requests to allow the Partnership, the Property Owner or such Contributed Entity to comply with any information reporting requirements under the Code or other applicable Law.

12.4 Tax Returns.

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The Contributor shall cause each Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and each of their Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and each of their Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and the Contributor shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(b) Straddle Periods and Post-Closing Periods. The Partnership shall cause each Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and each of their Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner and each of their Subsidiaries for all taxable periods of each Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries other than the Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and the Partnership shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such taxable periods. At least 15 days prior to the deadline for the filing of any Tax Return for a Straddle Period (and before the Partnership files such Tax Return), the Partnership shall furnish to the Contributor’s Representative a draft of such Tax Return and Contributor’s Representative shall have the right to review, provide the Partnership written comments on, and approve the portion of such draft Tax Return that relates to Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period for which the Contributor is responsible.

12.5 Claims; Tax Proceedings. If any Governmental Authority issues to any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries a written notice of its intent to conduct an audit or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes, a written notice of deficiency, a written notice of an assessment, a written notice of a proposed adjustment, a written assertion of claim for the payment that relates to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or for a Straddle Period and for which Contributor is obligated to pay or indemnify the Partnership (collectively, a “Tax Claim”), Partnership shall notify the Contributor’s Representative within ten (10) Business Days. The Contributed Entity shall control any Proceeding with respect to a Tax Claim (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, that with respect to (a) any Tax Claim related to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) any Tax Claim related to Taxes for a Straddle Period or (c) with respect to any Tax Claim for which the Contributor would be responsible for all or a portion of such Tax Claim, the Contributor’s Representative may, at the Contributor’s sole cost and expense, participate in such Tax Consent, and any settlement or other disposition of any such Tax Contest may only be made with the consent of the Contributor’s Representative.

12.6 Certain Tax Elections. The Contributor shall not have allowed any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries prior to, on, or after the Initial Closing Date to, make, revoke, or change any Tax election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement with any Governmental Authority, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax Claim or assessment relating to the Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries, or take any other similar action (or omit to take any action) relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such election, adoption, change, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other action or omission would have the effect of increasing a Tax liability of any Contributed Entity, the Property Owner or any of their Subsidiaries for any period ending after the Initial Closing Date.

12.7 Other Treatment.

(a) The Contributor and the Partnership agree for all relevant Tax purposes to treat all indemnification payments to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Agreed Contribution Value.

(b) It is the intent of the Contributor and the Partnership that the transfer by the Contributor of Interests to the Partnership in exchange for OP Units shall be treated as a tax-deferred contribution of assets to the Partnership under Section 721 of the Code.

12.8 Other Provisions. The provisions of this Section 12 shall govern all indemnity claims with respect to Taxes, including, without limitation, claims related to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6.1(e) or a breach of any provision of this Section 12.

12.9 Survival. The obligations of the Contributor to pay or indemnify for a Tax under this Section 12 shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations

(after taking into account any waiver, extension, tolling, or mitigation thereof) of the underlying Tax; provided, however, to the extent that the Contributor’s obligation to pay a Tax arises under a contract or other agreement or arrangement, the Contributor’s obligations under this Section 12 shall not expire until sixty (60) after the expiration of such Contributor’s obligation to pay such Tax under the contract or other agreement or arrangement. All other obligations of the Contributor under this Section 12 shall survive until fully performed.

SECTION 13.

MISCELLANEOUS.

13.1 Drafts not an Offer to Enter into a Legally Binding Contract. The parties hereto agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the contribution and sale of the Property. The parties shall be legally bound with respect to the contribution and sale of the Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when the parties have been able to negotiate all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a manner acceptable to each of the parties in their respective sole discretion, and the Contributor and the Partnership have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement.

13.2 Brokerage Commissions. Each of the parties hereto represents to the other parties that it dealt with no broker, finder or like agent in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and that it reasonably believes that there is no basis for any other person or entity to claim any brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar payments or other compensation for bringing about this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Contributor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, and its successors and assigns from and against any loss, liability or expense, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim or claims for commissions or other compensation for bringing about this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby made by any broker, finder or like agent, if such claim or claims are based in whole or in part on dealings with the Contributor.

The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall survive the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closing hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

13.3 Publicity. Except to the extent ATA or the Partnership deems it necessary or advisable in order to satisfy their disclosure obligations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all regulations promulgated thereunder, or as may otherwise be required by Law, none of the Contributor, the Contributor’s Representative, or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, nor ATA, the Partnership or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, may issue any press release or other public announcement relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the other. In the event ATA or the Partnership deems it necessary or appropriate to issue any press release, file any report of filing with the SEC or make any other

public announcement relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby, the Partnership shall first consult with and reasonably consider any comments or suggestions of the Contributor’s Representative with respect thereto.

13.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO SOME OF THE PROPERTY, IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THE PARTIES TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE LAWS OF OTHER STATES IN ORDER TO CONSUMMATE THE CONTRIBUTION AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT HERETO. THE PARTIES AGREE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH OTHER LAWS TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO CONSUMMATE THE CONTRIBUTION AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY.

(b) For the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, the Contributor and the Partnership hereby expressly submit to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts sitting in the State of New York and consents that any order, process, notice of motion or other application to or by any such court or a judge thereof may be served within or without such court’s jurisdiction by registered mail or by personal service; provided that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed, and the Partnership agrees that such courts shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over any such suit, action or proceeding commenced by any party. In furtherance of such agreement, the Partnership agrees upon the request of any party to discontinue (or agree to the discontinuance of) any such suit, action or proceeding pending in any other jurisdiction.

(c) The Partnership hereby irrevocably waives any objection that the Partnership may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any federal or state court sitting in the State of New York and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(d) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON, UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY CLAIMS, DEFENSES, RIGHTS OF SET-OFF OR OTHER ACTIONS PERTAINING HERETO OR TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

Majeure, such party shall immediately advise the other of the commencement and resolution of any Force Majeure event. All time periods shall be extended for the period of time during which the Force Majeure event existed. Such party’s failure to timely advise the other of a Force Majeure event shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s right to claim Force Majeure with respect to such event.

The Contributor hereby grants unto the Contributor’s Representative full power and authority to do and perform each and every act as is described under this Section 13.17, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Contributor might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Contributor’s Representative has lawfully done consistent herewith and may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The Contributor hereby agrees by executing this Agreement that the foregoing agency, proxy and power of attorney are coupled with an interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Contributor’s Representative and shall survive the bankruptcy of such Person. The Contributor hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement any delivery by the Contributor’s Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other documents executed by the Contributor’s Representative in accordance with this Section 13.17 or any decisions made by the Contributor’s Representative in accordance with this Section 13.17 shall be binding on such Person as fully as if such Person had executed and delivered such documents or made such decisions. The Contributor’s Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Contributor, except in

respect of amounts received by Contributor’s Representative on behalf of the Contributor. The Contributor’s Representative shall not be liable to the Contributor for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it under this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, except that the Contributor’s Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Contributor’s Representative shall not be liable to the Contributor for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and, if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of the Contributor to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Contributor, as applicable, any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled pursuant to this Agreement. The actions of the Contributor’s Representative are fully and completely binding and the Partnership is entitled to rely upon the provisions of this Section 13.17.

13.18 All or Nothing Transaction.

deems necessary to include in its SEC Filings, including but not limited to (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (ii) Rent Roll as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period, (iii) operating statements for the Audited Year and Stub Period (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (v) cash receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (vi) access to invoices for expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (vii) accounts payable ledger and accrued expense reconciliations in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (viii) check register for the three (3) months following the Audited Year and Stub Period, (ix) copies of all insurance documentation for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (x) copies of accounts receivable aging as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period along with an explanation for all accounts over thirty (30) days past due as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period, (xi) an executed assurance or representation letter from the Contributor to ATA’s registered independent accounting firm in a form acceptable to ATA (provided that in no event shall the Contributor have any liability to ATA or such registered independent accounting firm for the assurances or representations made therein, but the Contributor shall reasonably cooperate, at no cost or expense to the Contributor, in connection with such audit, including, if required by ATA’s registered independent accounting firm, answering a standard Statement on Auditing Standards No. 99 questionnaire from such registered independent accounting firm). The provisions of the foregoing Section shall survive the Subsequent Closing for a period of 365 days. The Partnership or ATA shall reimburse the Contributor for its actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with compliance with this Section.
