(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Contribution Agreement, with respect to each of the EL Contributed Properties, EL agrees to contribute, transfer, assign and deliver to ATA Holdings, and ATA Holdings agrees to acquire, accept and receive, either (i) such EL Contributed Property pursuant to a Property Contribution Agreement or (ii) the Contributed Interests with respect to such EL Contributed Property pursuant to an Interest Contribution Agreement, as the case may be, as specified in the Contribution Structure Chart (defined below) with respect such EL Contributed Property.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Contribution Agreement, with respect to each of the other Contributed Properties, ELRM agrees to cause the applicable EL Affiliates, and all of the other applicable Contributors, to contribute, transfer, assign and deliver to ATA Holdings, and ATA Holdings agrees to acquire, accept and receive, either (i) such Contributed Property pursuant to a Property Contribution Agreement or (ii) the Contributed Interests with respect to such Contributed Property pursuant to an Interest Contribution Agreement, as the case may be, as specified in the Contribution Structure Chart with respect such Contributed Property.

(c) Set forth on Schedule B attached hereto is a chart showing each Contributed Property (the “Contribution Structure Chart”) setting forth (i) whether the contribution is to be structured as a contribution of the Contributed Property or a contribution of Contributed Interests, (ii) the Contributed Entity, in the case of a contribution of Contributed Interests, (iii) the Contributors, (iv) which Contributors, if any, are eligible to receive tax protection and (v) certain other information with respect to the contribution transaction structure.

1.2 Full Contribution; Alternate Properties; Cash Investment.

(a) In the event that, notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.4(a) below, EL fails to cause Full Contribution (as defined below) to occur on or before the Final Closing Outside Date (as defined below) either (i) as a result of a failure to complete a sufficient number

of Subsequent Closings with respect to the Contributed Properties and/or DB Properties on or prior to the Final Outside Closing Date or (ii) as a result of the fact that one or more Contributed Properties or DB Properties has become an Excluded Property (as defined below) on or prior to the Final Outside Closing Date such that it will be impossible to achieve Full Contribution on or before the Final Closing Outside Date even if Subsequent Closings occur with respect to all of the remaining Contributed Properties and DB Properties, then, in either case, EL shall have the right (but not an obligation), to pursue a cure for such failure to achieve Full Contribution by electing, by written notice to ATA and ATA Holdings on or before the Final Outside Closing Date, in the case of clause (i) above, or within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Contributed Property or DB Property became and Excluded Property, in the case of clause (ii) above, one or more of the following options in its sole discretion:

(i) to offer to contribute to ATA Holdings one or more substitute multifamily residential properties to replace the Excluded Property (an “Alternate Property”), provided that ATA Holdings shall have ten (10) business days to accept or reject, in its reasonable discretion, such Alternate Property and the terms of its contribution, including without limitation the Agreed Share Value (as defined below) related thereto; and/or

(ii) to purchase (or to cause its designated Affiliates who are accredited investors within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to purchase) for cash a number of shares of ATA Common Stock (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), at a price of $8.15 per share,

such that the aggregate amount of equity to be issued by ATA or ATA Holdings pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above, as the case may be, is equal to or greater than (A) the shortfall between the amount of Agreed Share Value required to achieve Full Contribution and the Agreed Share Value of the Contributed Properties and DB Properties that have been contributed to date and that remain to be contributed on or before the Final Closing Outside Date, in the aggregate; provided however, in no event will EL and its Affiliates have the right to purchase shares of ATA Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii) above in an amount that will have a value in excess of $50,000,000 based on the $8.15 per share price.

(b) In the event EL offers to contribute an Alternate Property pursuant to clause (i) above, and ATA Holdings accepts such Alternate Property on the terms offered by EL within ten (10) business days after the date on which EL make such offer in accordance with the requirements of clause (i) above, then the Parties will prepare and enter into a new contribution agreement with respect to the Alternate Property, or the entity(ies) that own the Alternate Property, as the case may be, in substantially the same form as one of the forms of Contribution Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 within ten (10) business days after the date of ATA Holdings’ acceptance, and the applicable parties shall execute and deliver all of the other agreements, instruments and other documents delivered hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents with respect to each closing of a Contributed Property, including,

without limitation the Registration Rights Agreement, the Tax Protection Agreement, and, if applicable, a Loan Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event EL has not caused Full Contribution to be achieved within 60 days after the Final Closing Outside Date, including, without limitation, pursuant to its additional cure rights set forth in clause (ii) above, then the provisions of Section 11.3(c) shall apply.

(c) In the event that any Contributed Property becomes an Excluded Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such Excluded Property shall cease to be a Contributed Property for all purposes hereof (including, without limitation, any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements relating to such Contributed Property), the Schedules to this Agreement (including Schedules A and B hereto) shall be updated accordingly, effective as of the date of this Agreement as if such former Contributed Property had at no time been a Contributed Property hereunder and the Contribution Agreement for such Contributed Property and all of the documents and instruments related thereto automatically shall terminate and shall be returned immediately to EL. In the event any Contributed Property is not is not contributed on or before the Final Closing Outside Date, but does not become an Excluded Property, such Contributed Property shall become a “Deferred Property”. This Section 1.2(c) shall not apply to such Deferred Property and such Deferred Property shall be contributed promptly after the conditions to closing set forth in Article X below with respect to such Deferred Property have been satisfied. Any Contributed Property or DB Property that is excluded from the Transactions pursuant to Sections 3.1(c)(ii), 3.2(a), 7.4(a) or 11.1(c) of this Agreement or in accordance with the DB Contribution Agreement shall be an “Excluded Property”.

The parties acknowledge that any issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (and attached warrants) shall be subject to any preemptive rights set forth in the Cash Investment Agreement. In the event that any of EL and its Affiliates purchases shares of Series C Preferred Stock and attached warrants pursuant to this Section 1.5(b), then, to the extent permitted by the Charter (as defined below), ATA shall deliver a duly executed REIT ownership limit waiver certificate in substantially similar form as the REIT Ownership Limit Waiver to Elco North America, Inc. (“Elco NA”), for the benefit of Elco NA and all of the entities in which Elco NA directly or indirectly owns 100% of the equity interests (collectively and together with Elco NA, the “Elco

Group”), effective upon such purchase, (1) granting an exemption from the aggregate stock ownership limit established under the Charter allowing the Elco Group to Beneficially Own (as defined in the Charter) or Constructively Own (as defined in the Charter) 100% of the Series C Preferred Stock and (2) affirming the prior grant of an exemption from the aggregate stock ownership limit and the ATA Common Stock ownership limit established under the Charter allowing the Elco Group to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own no more than 20% of the ATA Common Stock (and expressly including the shares of ATA Common Stock issuable under the warrants under such grant). The grant of any such REIT ownership limit waiver certificate shall be subject to a determination by the board of directors of ATA that such waiver would not adversely affect ATA’s ability to qualify as a REIT.

(c) EL shall have the right to designate one or more of its Affiliates who are accredited investors within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under 1933 Act to purchase any or all of the Excess Expense Shares and/or the Andros Cash Payment Obligation Securities; provided, however, that no such designation shall relieve EL of its obligations under this Section 1.5. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 1.5 and the issuance and sale of the Excess Expense Shares and/or the Andros Cash Payment Obligation Securities, as applicable, pursuant hereto shall be separate from, and shall neither be credited toward nor limit the purchase of any shares of ATA Common Stock pursuant to, the provisions of Section 1.2(a).

ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION; APPORTIONMENTS AND OTHER

ADJUSTMENTS

2.1 Consideration.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Contribution Agreement, with respect to each Contributed Property, ATA Holdings agrees to pay, pursuant to such Contribution Agreement, aggregate consideration equal to the “Agreed Share Value” set forth on Schedule A hereto with respect to such Contributed Property, as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, Article III or both Article II and Article III, as applicable. Without limiting the terms of hereof, in the event Schedule A hereto has not been adjusted to reflect the apportionments described in Section 2.2 below and as set forth on the Settlement Statements, the parties agree to update Schedule A hereto accordingly and to replace the same by written amendment to this Agreement promptly after the parties have agreed upon the Settlement Statements. The form and manner of payment of such aggregate purchase consideration shall be as provided in such Contribution Agreement.

2.2 Apportionments, etc.

The Parties 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 each Contributed 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 ATA Holdings 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 Statements to be delivered at the applicable Subsequent Closing.

(a) To the extent not covered by any tax escrows held by the applicable Contributed Entity or the Lender, all real estate taxes, and items of income and expense with respect to each Contributed Property shall be prorated between the Contributor and ATA Holdings 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 by the Lender in connection with the Loan with respect to such Contributed Property and those held by the Contributors shall follow the Contributed Property and shall be prorated in the manner set forth on the Settlement Statements (as defined below).

(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 ATA Holdings. Without limiting the foregoing, rent and all other sums which are due and payable to the Contributed Entity by any tenant, whether or not collected as of the Initial Closing shall be adjusted, but ATA Holdings 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, ELRM shall deliver to ATA Holdings a schedule of all rent, charges and other amounts payable by tenants after the Initial Closing with respect to which the Contributors are entitled to receive a share under this Agreement, and any amount due and owing to the Contributed Entity 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 Contributed Entity from tenants shall first be applied toward ATA Holding’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 Purchaser 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 ATA Holdings 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. ATA Holdings 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 Contributors are entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts, without first obtaining the written consent of the Contributors. If a Delinquent Amount due the Contributors is not paid by a tenant within the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the Closing or (ii) sixty (60) days after billing therefor, the Contributors shall have the right to attempt to effect collection by litigation or otherwise so long as the Contributors do 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 Contributed Property as of the date of Initial Closing, the Contributors 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 Contributed Entity, such deposits shall continue to be held by the Contributed Entity so as to be available to the Contributed Entity after the Initial Closing, or if such deposits are held by ELRM, all such deposits shall be transferred to the applicable Contributed Entity prior to the applicable Closing for such Contributed Property. There shall be no apportionment or proration of any insurance premiums or costs or expenses related to the employment of any Persons at the Contributed Property.

(d) The following items shall also be prorated between the Contributors and ATA Holdings 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, ELRM 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 a lender under the applicable loan assumed or transferred as part of the Transaction.

(iv) Cash then being held in the Contributed Entity (other than security deposits, as provided in Section 2.2(c) above) shall be prorated as of the Initial Closing and, notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.2(g) below, the applicable prorated amount remaining at the Contributed Property shall be distributed to the Contributors immediately prior to the Subsequent Closing for such Contributed Property.

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

(e) For purposed hereof, unless such Contributed Property becomes an Excluded Property or this Agreement terminates, ATA Holdings shall be deemed to be the owner of the Contributed Entity and, therefore, entitled to the income from the Contributed Property and responsible for the expenses of the Contributed 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 promptly after complete and accurate information becomes available and in all events prior to the applicable Subsequent Closing, to be effective as of the Initial Closing. All prorations shall otherwise be final. The Contributor and ATA Holdings agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments prior to the Subsequent Closing with respect to such Contributed Property 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 2.2, 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 ATA Holdings, 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 Contributors.

(f) Amounts on deposit with utility companies shall be credited to the Contributors. The Contributors shall, from and after the Initial Closing, at the Contributors’ sole cost and expense, have control over any ongoing tax appeals as to the Contributed Property that were commenced prior to the Initial Closing and that pertain solely to the periods that the Contributors owned the Contributed Entity. The Contributors 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 ATA Holdings 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, ATA Holdings shall be entitled to join in such appeal and/or pursue its own appeal, at ATA Holding’s expense, from and after the date of the Initial Closing.

(g) Without limiting the terms of Section 2.2(d)(iv) above or Section 7.3(c) below, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Initial Closing until immediately prior to the applicable Subsequent Closing, as provided in clause (ii) below, (i) no Contributed Entity shall declare, pay or otherwise make provision for any dividends or distributions (excluding payment of the management fee to ELRM) and (ii) immediately prior to the applicable Subsequent Closing, in addition to any prorations, adjustments or other amounts payable by or to the Contributors with respect to such Contributed Entity or Contributed Property, as provided herein, the Contributed Entity shall distribute to each 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 applicable Subsequent Closing had such OP Units been issued and sold to such Contributor at the Initial Closing.

(h) Notwithstanding the terms of the Existing Management Agreement or anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the date hereof, until the applicable Subsequent Closing, ELRM shall be paid a management fee equal to three percent (3%) of the gross receipts from the operation of the applicable Contributed Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.2(h), all of the other terms and conditions of the Existing Management Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect.

(i) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the gross fair market value 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 for each Contributed Property, the parties will reasonably agree on a fair market value allocation of value between the land and the building(s).

(j) The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall survive the Initial Closing.

2.3 Xxxxx & Xxxxx/Mission Litigation Make Whole.

(a) In addition to (i) the OP Units or shares of stock of ATA issuable to each of the Contributing Parties at each Subsequent Closing, (ii) LTIP units issued under any employment agreement to any employee, and (iii) any shares of common stock of ATA issued (or issuable) to a Warrant holder upon exercise of its Warrant (as defined below), each such holder of such units, shares or Warrants (each, a “Make-Whole Rightholder”) will be issued a contingent value right (a “Right”) in accordance with Section 2.3(b). If, prior to or as a result of the IPO, any payment shall be due to Xxxxx & Xxxxx on account of its special limited partner interest in ATA Holdings (a “G&E Payment”), or if, prior to the IPO, a monetary award has been assessed against any of the ATA Parties or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries by a final non-appealable judgment in the litigation with Mission Residential, LLC and Mission Trust Services, LLC (a “Mission Award”), the Right will entitle each such security holder to receive in accordance with Section 2.3(b), without additional charge, such Party’s proportionate share (based on the number of such Party’s shares of common stock, OP Units or LTIP units relative to all shares issued in connection with this Agreement or the employment agreements and the number of shares of stock of ATA issued to Warrant holders upon exercise of Warrants in accordance with Section 2.3(b)) of a so-called “Make-Whole Pool” of shares of ATA common stock, OP Units or additional LTIP units (at the election of each receiving Party). The aggregate number of shares of ATA Common Stock, OP Units or LTIP units in the Make-Whole Pool will equal the following:

Z minus 42.24 million

Where:

X= the aggregate amount of any G&E Payment and any Mission Award less a $250,000 deductible.

Y = 180.04 million/(343.46 million – X)

Z = (20.05 million/(1-Y))

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, any fractional shares of ATA common stock, OP Units or LTIP units issuable to a Party pursuant to the foregoing shall not be issued and shall be deemed forfeited.

(b) The Right shall be exercisable as follows:

In the event of a G&E Payment becoming due or a Mission Award being assessed (as described in Section 2.3(a)), ATA shall calculate and deliver written notice of the aggregate number of securities in the Make-Whole Pool to each Make-Whole Rightholder not later than ten (10) days following such G&E Payment becoming due or such Mission Award being assessed, as applicable. Each Make-Whole Rightholder that desires to participate in the Make-Whole Pool shall notify ATA that such Make-Whole Rightholder desires to exercise its Right not later than fifteen (15) days following the later of (A) the consummation of the IPO and (B) the date on which ATA delivers the notice of the Make-Whole Pool calculation to such Make-Whole Rightholder (such later date, the “Right Expiration Date”); provided that, in the case of a Make-Whole Rightholder that wishes to exercise a Right in connection with any shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Right may only be exercised by such Make-Whole Rightholder with respect to such Warrant if such Make-Whole Rightholder provides notice of exercise of such Warrant to ATA no later than the Right Expiration Date. Any Make-Whole Rightholder that fails to provide a notice of exercise of its Right pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its Right.

ARTICLE III

TITLE AND OTHER PROPERTY RELATED MATTERS

3.1 Title Matters.

(a) Delivery of Title Commitments. With respect to each Contributed Property, (i) the ATA Parties have obtained, at their sole cost and expense, a current commitment for an ALTA extended owner’s policy from the Title Company with respect to all of the Real Property and/or such endorsements or updates to the existing owner’s policies as the ATA Parties may desire and (ii) to the extent the Loan is not being paid off or refinanced at the applicable Closing, and is required by the Lender in connection with Lender Approval, then the ATA parties shall obtain a commitment to endorse the existing mortgagee policy for the Loan from the title insurance company that issued such mortgagee policy, together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and documents referred to therein as exceptions to title (collectively, the “Title Commitments”).

(b) Survey. With respect to each Contributed Property, the ATA Parties shall, if they elect to do so, order, at their sole cost and expense, a current as built ALTA/ACSM survey with respect to all of the Real Property or such updates and/or recertifications to the existing survey as the ATA Parties may desire (the “Survey”), by a licensed surveyor in the jurisdiction in which such Real Property is located, and certified to the ATA Parties, the Property Owner, the Contributed Entity, if any, the Title Company and the Lender. ELRM shall deliver to the ATA Parties and/or the surveyor such documents, affidavits, or certifications as may be

reasonably requested in order to issue the Survey or in order to bring forward the date of any survey exception in the Title Commitment without issuing the Survey (provided no construction has taken place since the date of any prior survey).

(i) The Title Commitments are listed on Schedule 3.1(c) attached to this Agreement and all of the exceptions to coverage shown thereon shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances; provided, however, the Parties agree to use good faith efforts to cause the Title Company to remove the objections to title set forth on Schedule D attached to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3.1(c)(i) shall survive the Initial Closing.

(ii) To the extent that ATA Holdings or ELRM obtains a new title commitment in connection with an Alternate Property, and such new title commitment contains any exception to coverage that (x) is not otherwise included in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances and (y) would reasonably be expected to have a Property Material Adverse Effect (a “Post-Policy Exception”), then ATA Holdings, in its sole discretion, may object to such Post-Policy Exception by giving notice thereof to ELRM in writing, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such new title commitment (the “Objection Notice”). Any Post-Policy Exceptions to which ATA Holdings does not timely object in the Objection Notice shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. ELRM shall not be required to satisfy any objections set forth in any Objection Notice, nor shall ELRM be required to incur any cost or expense to do so; provided, however, that if the Objection Notice is timely delivered to ELRM and ELRM intends to remove or cure any title defects or objections raised therein, ELRM shall deliver written notice (the “Title Response”) to ATA Holdings within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Objection Notice identifying the Post-Policy Exceptions that ELRM intends to remove or cure (it being acknowledged that the delivery or failure to deliver a Title Response shall not constitute an admission by the EL Parties as to whether or not any such exception constitutes a Post-Policy Exception as defined above). If ELRM fails to timely deliver the Title Response, or in its Title Response fails to commit to remove or cure any particular Post-Policy Exception raised in such Objection Notice or cause the Title Company to affirmatively insure over any such Post-Policy Exception, then such failure shall constitute ELRM’s notice that it will not cure or remove such Post-Policy Exception. ATA Holdings shall have the right to elect by written notice to ELRM, on or before five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Title Response (or, if no Title Response is given, five (5) Business Days after expiration of the period for delivery thereof), to either (A) waive the objections that ELRM has not committed to remove or cure and accept such title as the Property Owner is able to convey, in which event the matters objected to shall become Permitted Exceptions; or (B) exclude such Alternate Property from the Transactions by notifying ELRM in writing, whereupon (i) such Alternate Property shall be an Excluded Property and (ii) the applicable Contribution Agreement, if any, shall terminate automatically without the need for further action by any party thereto. The failure of ATA Holdings to timely deliver such a waiver or exclusion notice shall constitute ATA Holdings’ election to waive the objection as described in Subsection 3.1(c)(ii)(A) above.

(d) Additional Exception. With respect to each Contributed Property, except for new Leases entered into after the date hereof in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Property Owner shall be expressly prohibited from further encumbering the Property from and after the date hereof in any manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Property Material Adverse Effect without the prior written consent of the ATA Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (the “Additional Exception”), unless such Additional Exception shall be released of record prior to the applicable Closing.

(e) Alternate Properties. In the event any Alternate Property becomes a Contributed Property pursuant to this Agreement, ELRM shall promptly provide copies to ATA Holdings of the existing title insurance policies and surveys for such Alternate Property, to the extent not previously provided. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall thereafter apply to such Alternate Property as a Contributed Property.

3.2 Condemnation.

With respect to each Contributed Property:

(a) If prior to the applicable Closing, any portion of the Real Property is taken by eminent domain that involves the taking of a material portion of the Improvements (including the amenities or a material portion of the parking), or a taking that has the effect of preventing access to the Improvements (a “Material Condemnation”), ELRM shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days and prior to such Closing, notify the ATA Parties in writing and in reasonable detail of the same (the “Condemnation Notice”). The ATA Parties shall have the right to elect, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Condemnation Notice (and the applicable Closing Date shall, if necessary, be extended to give the ATA Parties the benefit of the entire fifteen (15) Business Day period), to exclude such Contributed Property from the Transactions by notifying ELRM in writing, whereupon (i) such Contributed Property shall be deemed an Excluded Property and (ii) the applicable Contribution Agreement, if any, shall terminate automatically without the need for further action by any party thereto.

(b) If prior to the applicable Closing, any portion of the Real Property is taken by eminent domain and either (i) such taking is not a Material Condemnation or (ii) such Contributed Property is not excluded from the Transactions pursuant to Section 3.2(a), then, the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions shall not be affected, notwithstanding such condemnation, and there shall be no abatement or reduction in the purchase consideration payable on account thereof except as herein provided. At such Closing, ELRM shall (A) cause the Property Owner to assign, or the Contributed Entity or its Subsidiary to retain, as the case may be, all of its right, title and interest in and to all related condemnation proceeds payable (but not yet paid as of such Closing) and (B) to the extent that any Person (other than the Contributed Entity or any Subsidiary thereof) has received any such condemnation proceeds prior to such Closing, there shall be an abatement in an amount equal to such condemnation proceeds received by each such Person, less the amount of the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in establishing and collecting such award. Such abatement shall be effected as a reduction in the aggregate purchase consideration payable on account of such Contributed Property.

3.3 Casualty.

With respect to each Contributed Property:

(a) If, after the Initial Closing, but prior to the applicable Subsequent Closing, the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”) for which the cost to restore such damage or destruction to the Property could reasonably be expected to exceed $250,000 (a “Material Casualty”), ELRM shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days and prior to such Closing, notify the ATA Parties in writing and in reasonable detail of the same (the “Casualty Notice”). Subject to compliance by ELRM with the terms of Section 7.3(b)(i)(D), the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions shall not be affected, notwithstanding any Casualty (whether or not a Material Casualty), and there shall be no abatement or reduction in the purchase consideration payable on account thereof except as herein provided. At such Subsequent Closing, ELRM shall (A) cause the Property Owner to assign, or the Contributed Entity or its Subsidiary to retain, as the case may be, all of its right, title and interest in and to all related insurance proceeds payable (but not yet paid as of such Closing) and (B) to the extent that any Person (other than the Contributed Entity or any Subsidiary thereof) has received any such insurance proceeds prior to such Subsequent Closing, there shall be an abatement in an amount equal to such insurance proceeds received by each such Person, less the amount of the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in establishing and collecting such proceeds or in repairing such damage or destruction. Such abatement shall be effected as a reduction in the aggregate purchase consideration payable on account of such Contributed Property.

(b) The risk of loss to the Property shall pass to the ATA Parties upon the Initial Closing.

3.4 Excluded Liabilities.

With respect to each Contributed Entity, from and after the Initial Closing:

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.4, ELRH hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the ATA Parties from and against any and all direct costs, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses but excluding consequential, punitive and indirect damages) arising out of or resulting from any liabilities (other than Disclosed Liabilities) of such Contributed Entity or any of its Subsidiaries, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, arising prior to the Initial Closing, solely to the extent pertaining to the assets or activities, if any, of any of such Contributed Entity and its Subsidiaries, that are not directly or indirectly related to the Property or to any other Contributed Property.

(b) ELRH shall have no liability in respect of any amounts indemnifiable under this Section 3.4 unless and until the aggregate of all such amounts with respect to such Contributed Entity collectively exceeds $25,000, whereupon ELRH shall be liable for the full amount thereof including the $25,000. In no event shall ELRH be liable pursuant to this Section 3.4 for any amounts with respect to such Contributed Entity in excess of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).

(c) This Section 3.4 shall survive the Initial Closing with respect to such Contributed Entity until the expiration of the first anniversary of such Initial Closing and, with respect to any written claim delivered to ELRH within such one year period, until final non-appealable adjudication or settlement thereof, provided litigation is, or adjudication proceedings are, instituted within six (6) months following ELRH’s receipt of such written claim.

THE CONTRIBUTED ENTITIES AND PROPERTIES

ELRM hereby represents and warrants to ATA and ATA Holdings as follows:

5.1 Organization and Authorization; No Conflicts.

Each Contributed Entity is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in the state of its organization and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would materially adversely affect the Contributed Entity’s ability to conduct business in the Ordinary Course. Each Contributed Entity has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate the Properties now owned, leased or operated by it and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each Contributed Entity, to the extent applicable, has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and any other agreement, certificate, instrument or writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and upon the execution and delivery of any

Transaction Document to be delivered by any Contributed Entity, to the extent applicable, such Transaction Document shall constitute the valid and binding obligation and agreement of such Contributed Entity, enforceable against such Contributed Entity in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and general principles of equity. ELRM has made available to the ATA Parties true and complete copies of the Organizational Documents of each Contributed Entity, as amended and as in effect on the date of this Agreement. No Contributed Entity is in default under or in violation of any provision of its Organizational Documents.

5.2 Capitalization; Title to Contributed Interests.

Schedule 5.2 sets forth the authorized ownership interests of each Contributed Entity and indicates the ownership of all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of the Contributed Entity. Except for the Transaction Agreements and the Transactions, there are no agreements, arrangements, options, warrants, calls, rights (including preemptive rights) or commitments of any character to which any Contributed Entity or any EL Affiliate is a party (or, to ELRM’s knowledge, to which any other holder of any ownership interest in any Contributed Entity is a party) relating to the issuance, sale, purchase or redemption of any ownership interests of any Contributed Entity. All of the outstanding ownership interests of each Contributed Entity are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of each Contributed Entity held by any EL Affiliate (or, to ELRM’s knowledge, by any other Person) are owned free from all Liens. With respect to each Contributed Entity, upon delivery to ATA Holdings on the applicable Closing Date of any and all Contributed Interests as contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Interest Contribution Agreement, the Contributors that are EL Affiliates (and, to ELRM’s knowledge, the other Contributors) will thereby transfer to ATA Holdings good and marketable title to such Contributed Interests, free and clear of all Liens.

5.3 Absence of Defaults and Conflicts; Consents and Approvals.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.3, neither the execution and delivery of any Transaction Document by any Contributed Entity, to the extent applicable, nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor compliance with or fulfillment of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof will (i) conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of default or an event creating rights of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of rights under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Contributed Interests or the Property of any Contributed Entity, under (A) any of their respective Organizational Documents (to the extent applicable), (B) any contract to which any of them is a party and which would reasonably be expected to have a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect, (C) any Permits to which any of them is a party or the Contributed Interests or the Property of any Contributed Entity are subject or by which any Contributed Entity is bound and which would reasonably be expected to have a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect, or (D) any Laws affecting any Contributed Entity, the

Agreements to which they or any of their Affiliates are or will be a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy conditions so as to cause Full Contribution to occur no later than the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing (the “Final Closing Outside Date”); it being acknowledged and agreed that, subject to the terms of Section 11.3(b)(i) below, a failure by EL to achieve Full Contribution on or before the Final Closing Outside Date is not a default hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents and neither Party shall have a right to terminate this Agreement on account of such failure. In the event that the Parties fail to obtain a Lender Approval or a Refinancing with respect to a Contributed Property on or prior to the Final Closing Outside Date and such Contributed Property does not become an Excluded Property pursuant to the terms hereof, such Contributed Property shall be a Deferred Property unless and until such time as the parties mutually agree that such Deferred Property shall be an Excluded Property.

(b) Consents – Generally. The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly make all filings, provide all notices, and obtain all consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations and permits that are required or reasonably appropriate to be made or obtained by such Party, and shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the other Parties in that regard, in connection with the preparation and entry into of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions, including, without limitation, (i) the consents and approvals listed on Schedule 4.4 hereto, (ii) those to be made with, provided to or obtained from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions and (iii) those required under each of the other Transaction Agreements.

(i) With respect to Contributed Properties that are not the subject of a Refinancing, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Parties, approval from the Lender for the contribution of the Contributed Property or the Contributed Interests, as the case may be, contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Contribution Agreement, and any changes in property management and/or guarantors which may be required by the Lender or the Loan Documents in connection therewith (the “Lender Approval”). The “Lender Approval” shall be deemed to include, if and to the extent applicable (a) the satisfactory completion by the Lender of all diligence investigations, inspections and tests, and (b) the full negotiation and final approval for signature of the Lender Approval Documents by ATA Holdings, the borrower and, if applicable, the guarantor under the Loan Documents, the Lender and any other entities required by the Lender to be a party to the Lender Approval Documents.

(ii) With respect to Contributed Properties that are the subject of a Refinancing, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Parties, including, without limitation the principal balance thereof which may not exceed the principal balance of the related existing loan for such

Contributed Property, a new loan from the Lender or another lender that will acknowledge or permit the contribution of the Contributed Property or the Contributed Interests, as the case may be, contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Contribution Agreement, and any changes in property management and/or guarantors which may be required by the Lender or the Loan Documents in connection therewith. The “Refinancing” shall be deemed to include, if and to the extent applicable (a) the satisfactory completion by the Lender of all diligence investigations, inspections and tests, and (b) the full negotiation and final approval for signature of new loan documents by the borrower and, if applicable, the guarantor, the Lender and any other entities required by the Lender to be a party to the new loan documents. It is acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that, as of the date hereof, each of the Contributed Properties listed on Schedule 7.4(c)(ii) hereof is subject to a Refinancing. It also is agreed by the Parties that if the Parties are unable to obtain a Lender Approval for any other Contributed Property on or before the Final Closing Outside Date, and such Contributed Property does not become an Excluded Property, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to refinance such Contributed Property in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) ELRM has applied to the applicable lender for the Lender Approval or for the Refinancing, and the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Lender Approval or Refinancing from the applicable lender prior to the applicable Closing Date. The Parties agree to cooperate and to take all reasonable action, or to cause others to cooperate and to take all reasonable action, to facilitate the receipt of the Lender Approval or Refinancing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ATA Parties shall be solely responsible to pay to the Lender any and all Loan Assumption Costs required in connection with the Lender Approval and fees or costs associated with a Refinancing. So long as a Party complies with its obligations under this Section 7.4(c), in no event shall such Party have any liability for its failure to obtain the Lender Approval or a Refinancing. The Parties shall execute and deliver at such Closing, or use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, any and all consent and approval documents and agreements required by the Lender in connection with the Lender Approval or Refinancing, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Parties (the “Lender Approval Documents”).

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Tax Matters. ELRM shall pay and indemnify, without duplication, the Contributed Entity and the ATA Parties for the following Taxes (and all related Adverse Consequences, including all reasonable 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 5.6 or a breach of any provision of this Section 8.1;

²	While not a delivery, we understand Bylaws will need to be amended immediately prior to closing to effectuate certain changes provided for in CGA.

(b) with respect to such Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period: (i) all Taxes of each Contributed Entity and each of their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) all such Taxes of any other Person that each Contributed Entity on any of their respective 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 (iii) all Taxes resulting from each Contributed Entity on any of its Subsidiaries being a member of, or leaving, during a Pre-Closing Tax Period, an affiliated group of corporations that files a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return for federal, state, local or foreign Tax purposes; and

(c) with respect to such Taxes attributable to any Straddle Period: (i) the Taxes of the Contributed Entity and each of its Subsidiaries attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date, as determined under Section 8.2; and (ii) the Taxes of any other Person that the Contributed Entity on any of its 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 Closing Date, as determined under Section 8.2.

8.2 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 8.1, 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 Closing Date but that relate to Taxes that accrued on or before the Closing Date shall be treated as occurring prior to the Closing Date;

(b) Except for Transfer Taxes and any other Taxes for which the Purchaser is responsible hereunder and for real estate taxes (apportioned pursuant to Section 2.2), 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 Closing Date shall be allocated between the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the period beginning after the 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 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 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 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 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 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.

8.3 Cooperation. Each the Parties shall provide the ATA Parties and the Contributed Entity 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. ELRM shall provide to the ATA Parties and the Contributed Entity with any information that the Contributed Entity reasonably requests to allow the ATA Parties or such Contributed Entity to comply with any information reporting requirements under the Code or other applicable Law.

8.7 Other Treatment.

(a) The Parties agree for all relevant Tax purposes to treat all indemnification payments to the ATA Parties pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the consideration hereunder.

(b) It is the intent of the Parties that the transfer of Contributed Interests the ATA Parties in exchange for OP Units or ATA Capital Stock shall be treated, (i) to the extent the Interests are contributed in exchange for OP Units, as a tax-deferred contribution of assets to the Purchaser under Section 721 of the Code and, (ii) to the extent the Contributed Interests are contributed in exchange for ATA Capital Stock, as a taxable exchange of a portion of the Contributed Interests to the ATA Parties.

other agreement or arrangement, ELRM’s obligations under this Section 8 shall not expire until sixty (60) after the expiration of such Contributed Entity’s obligation to pay such Tax under the contract or other agreement or arrangement.

(d)

(i) In the event that EL is obligated to pay to the ATA Parties the ATA Costs & Expenses Reimbursement, EL shall pay to the ATA Parties, from the ATA Costs & Expenses Reimbursement deposited into escrow in accordance with the next sentence, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the ATA Costs & Expenses Reimbursement and (B) the sum of (x) the maximum amount that can be paid to the ATA Parties without causing ATA to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c) (2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”), as determined by ATA’s independent certified public accountants, plus (y) in the event ATA receives either (1) a letter from ATA’s counsel indicating that ATA has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service described in Section 11.3(d)(i) or (2) an opinion from ATA’s outside counsel as described in Section 11.3(d)(i), an amount equal to the ATA Costs & Expenses Reimbursement, less the amount payable under clause (x) above.

The EL Parties agree to amend this Section 11.3(d)(ii) at the reasonable request of ATA in order to (x) maximize the portion of the ATA Costs & Expenses Reimbursement that may be distributed to ATA hereunder without causing ATA to fail to meet

the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (y) improve ATA’s chances of securing a favorable ruling described in this Section 11.3(d)(ii) or (z) assist ATA in obtaining a favorable legal opinion from its outside counsel as described in this Section11.3(d)(ii).
