	 	2.	CONTRIBUTION. 


Contributor, or
the Contributor Member designated by Contributor, agrees to contribute and convey to Acquiror, and Acquiror agrees to accept and
assume from Contributor (or the designated Contributor Member), for the Gross Asset Value and on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, all of Contributor’s right, title and interest in the Contributor’s single family residential Property
(individually or collectively referred to herein as the “Property”), as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached
hereto.


The Property are
leased to certain tenants, principally for single family residential occupancy and use. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Property” shall mean, collectively: (i) all of the parcels of land described on Exhibit A attached hereto
(collectively, the “Land”), together with all rights, easements and interests appurtenant thereto, including, but not
limited to, any streets or other public ways adjacent to said Land; (ii) all improvements located on the Land, including,
but not limited to, the Property, and all other structures, systems, and utilities associated with, and utilized in the ownership
and operation of the Property (all such improvements being collectively referred to herein as the “Improvements”);
(iii) all personal property not owned by any tenant at the Property and either (A) located on or in the Land or Improvements,
or (B) used in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property (collectively, the “Personal Property”),
including, without limitation, all fixtures and other built-in improvements and equipment necessary to operate the Property; (iv) all
building materials, supplies, hardware, carpeting and other inventory maintained in connection with the ownership and operation
of the Land and/or Improvements and not owned by tenants at the Property (collectively, the “Inventory”); (vi) the
Contributor’s interest in all leases and other agreements (including, without limitation, any amendment or other modification
of a lease) to occupy, or concerning the occupancy of, all or any portion of the Land and/or Improvements in effect on the Contract
Date or into which the Contributor enters prior to Closing, (collectively, the “Leases”); and (vii) Contributor’s
interest, if any, in and to any and all leasing, service and management contracts pursuant to which services are provided in connection
with the ownership and operation of the Property.


 


	 	3.	CONTRIBUTION CONSIDERATION; LP UNITS; TAX MATTERS. 


3.1.General.
It shall be a Contributor’s Condition Precedent (as defined in Section 11.2) that, prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall
file with the Secretary of State of the State of Maryland the UPREIT’s certificate of formation for AHIT Northern NM Properties,
LLP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “UPREIT”). The sole general partner of the UPREIT shall be Acquiror, which
at the time of this Agreement is a publicly-reporting company under the rules promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) and is in the process of electing status as a real estate investment trust. Acquirer
is interchangeably referred to herein as the “REIT”.

3.2.Contribution
Consideration. The consideration for the contribution by Contributor of the Member Interest and the “Contributed
Assets,” defined as the Properties and any and all personal property located thereon except for personal property owned by
tenants to the Properties (the assignment of which does not require an assignment separate from this Agreement), to the UPREIT
for the Property (the “Contribution Consideration”), shall consist of that number of Convertible Common Units having
an aggregate value, calculated as provided in Section 3.3.2 below, equal to (the “Total LP Unit Amount”): the
sum of: (A) the Gross Asset Value assigned to the Property, as determined pursuant to Exhibit B attached hereto; minus
(B) the sum of any Contributor Property Indebtedness with respect to the Property, as provided on Exhibit C attached
hereto, as Exhibit C may be modified (pursuant to the next succeeding sentence or otherwise); minus (C) the Reduction
Amount (as defined in Section 14); minus (D) any other adjustments described in this Agreement (“Adjustments”)
occurring on or prior to the Closing Date in favor of Acquiror; plus (E) any Adjustments occurring on or prior to the
Closing Date in favor of Contributor; and plus (F) any reserves, deposits and escrows maintained by Contributor with
the lender holding the Contributor Property Indebtedness encumbering the Property.


The parties agree
that, in the event the Closing Statement (as defined below) includes information that differs from that reflected on Exhibit B
with respect to the Gross Asset Value and any Contributor Property Indebtedness with respect to the Property, all such information
included within the Closing Statement shall be controlling in all such respects. Notwithstanding the preceding contemplated calculations,
however, none of such calculations shall occur at Closing if they are duplicative of calculations described under the Master Agreement
for purposes of determining Gross Asset Value. If the above-described calculation of Contribution Consideration would result in
a fractional number of LP Units (as hereinafter defined) to be delivered to Contributor, the UPREIT shall round that fraction up
or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of LP Units. The Property are to be acquired by the UPREIT subject to
the corresponding items of Contributor Property Indebtedness with respect to the Property. No portion of the Contribution Consideration
shall be paid in cash. Provided that all conditions precedent to Acquiror’s obligations to close as set forth in this Agreement
(collectively, “Acquiror’s Conditions Precedent”) have been satisfied and fulfilled, or waived in writing by
Acquiror, the Contribution Consideration shall be paid to Contributor at Closing pursuant to Section 3.3 below.


3.3. LP
Units.


 


3.3.1.The
Total LP Unit Amount shall be paid by the UPREIT’s delivery of 505,620 Common Units in the UPREIT pursuant to the UPREIT
Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein (collectively, the “LP Units”). The Total LP Unit Amount and the
allocation thereof are set forth in the LP Unit Schedule (as defined below). The LP Units issued to Contributor shall be redeemable
for shares of common stock of the REIT (“Stock”) or cash (or a combination thereof) in accordance with the redemption
procedures described in the UPREIT Agreement.









    -3- 


     


    

 


3.3.2.At
Closing, all LP Units shall be issued, delivered and distributed to Contributor unless at or prior to Closing, Contributor directs
the UPREIT to issue, deliver and distribute any or all of the LP Units to those LP Unit recipients set forth on Exhibit D
attached hereto (together with Contributor, the “LP Unit Recipients”), in which event the UPREIT shall follow the
Contributor’s direction with respect to the issuance, delivery and distribution of LP Units. Each LP Unit Recipient shall
receive, with respect to the Property, as reflected on Exhibit D, that number of LP Units (subject to appropriate rounding
to eliminate fractional LP Units) as shall be set forth on Exhibit D; provided, however, that in the event the Closing Statement
sets forth and contains information with respect to the breakdown of the Total LP Unit Amount among LP Unit Recipients that differs
from that reflected on Exhibit D, the Closing Statement shall be controlling in all such respects. The number of LP Units
issued to each LP Unit Recipient with respect to the Property shall equal the product of (A) the Total LP Unit Amount, multiplied
by (B) the “Ownership Percentage in Subject Property” (expressed as a fraction) of each LP Unit Recipient as reflected
on Exhibit D. The number of LP Units issued to each LP Unit Recipient shall be allocated as Convertible Common Units on the
same percentage basis described in the first sentence of Section 3.3.1 above.


3.3.3.For
purposes of determining the number of LP Units to be delivered in satisfaction of payment of the Total LP Unit Amount, the Convertible
Common Units shall have a per unit value of $2.25 (each, a “Unit Price”). The LP Unit Schedule shall reflect the Unit
Price.


3.3.4.Contributor
shall deliver to Acquiror, no later than ten (10) days prior to Closing, and shall cause its partners, shareholders, members
or other equity interest holders, as the case may be (“Interest Holders”), and any other LP Unit Recipient to also
deliver to Acquiror, or to any other party designated by Acquiror, no later than ten (10) days prior to Closing, a completed
questionnaire and representation letter (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto, the “Investor
Materials”) providing, among other things, information concerning Contributor’s, each Interest Holder’s and each
LP Unit Recipient’s status as an accredited investor (“Accredited Investor”), as such term is defined in Regulation
D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and shall provide or cause to be
provided to Acquiror, or to any other party designated by Acquiror, such other information and documentation as may reasonably
be requested by Acquiror in furtherance of the issuance of the LP Units as contemplated hereby.


Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, in the reasonable opinion of Acquiror, based on advice
of its securities counsel, (i) any such person or entity providing Investor Materials is not considered an Accredited Investor,
(ii) the proposed issuance of LP Units hereunder might not qualify for the exemption from the registration requirements of
Section 5 of the Securities Act, or (iii) the proposed issuance of LP Units hereunder would violate any applicable federal
or state securities laws, rules or regulations, or agreements to which the REIT or the UPREIT is subject, or any tax related or
other legal rules, agreements or constraints applicable to Acquiror, the REIT or the UPREIT, Acquiror shall so advise Contributor,
in writing (the “Regulatory Violation Notice”). In the event a Regulatory Violation Notice is delivered for the reason
set forth in clause (i) above, the interest of each and every person or other entity with respect to which Acquiror delivers
a Regulatory Violation Notice shall be redeemed by the appropriate Contributor, at no cost to any or all of Acquiror, the REIT
and the UPREIT, at least two business days prior to the Closing Date. In the event of any such redemption, the Closing Statement
shall reflect the updated list of LP Unit Recipients and the revised ownership percentages in the appropriate LP Unit Recipients
and the Property resulting from such redemption. Subject to the terms of the Master Agreement, in the event a Regulatory Violation
Notice is delivered for another reason, this Agreement shall terminate, and no party shall have any further liability hereunder
except (a) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement and (b) to the extent a breach of this Agreement gives
rise to, or becomes the basis for, the Regulatory Violation Notice.

3.3.5.Contributor
hereby covenants and agrees that it shall deliver or shall cause each of its partners, shareholders, members and any other LP Unit
Recipient to deliver to Acquiror, or to any other party designated by Acquiror, any documentation that may be required under the
UPREIT Agreement or any charter document of the REIT, and such other information and documentation as may reasonably be requested
by Acquiror, at such time as any LP Units are redeemed for shares of Stock (“Conversion Shares”). The preceding covenant
shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any of the conveyancing documents delivered at Closing.


3.3.6.The
parties acknowledge that, except to the extent that any portion of the Total LP Unit Amount consists of cash, Contributor intends
for the transfer of the Property in exchange for LP Units (the “Exchange”) to result in non-recognition of gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
(such treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Acquiror, the UPREIT and the REIT shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects with Contributor to facilitate such Intended Tax Treatment; provided, however, that:


 


	 	(i)	The Closing shall not be extended or delayed by reason of such Intended Tax Treatment, unless Acquiror has breached its obligations to Contributor under this Agreement; 


 


	 	(ii)	None of Acquiror, the UPREIT nor the REIT shall be required to incur any additional extraordinary (as opposed to a normal, customary and recurring) cost or expense as a result of such Intended Tax Treatment, other than the cost of Acquiror’s counsel in connection with the preparation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, the UPREIT and the REIT shall be responsible for costs associated with any Internal Revenue Service audit made directly of either or both of the UPREIT and the REIT relating to their respective operations (as opposed to an audit that is ancillary to an audit made of any or all of the entities comprising the Contributor). In the event of the occurrence of an audit made directly of any or all of the entities comprising the Contributor, and relating to the Contributor’s operations, the Contributor shall be responsible for all costs associated therewith. Contributor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall, promptly on demand, reimburse Acquiror, the UPREIT or the REIT for any additional extraordinary cost or expense (as opposed to a normal, customary and recurring cost or expense, such as the analysis or computation related to the manner in which depreciation and built-in gain are allocated amongst the LP Unit Recipients), including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, actually incurred by any or all of Acquiror, the UPREIT and the REIT as a result of structuring the Exchange in order to achieve the Intended Tax Treatment, or which additional extraordinary cost or expense is or may be otherwise directly attributable thereto; and 


 


	 	(iii)	Subject to the UPREIT’s and the REIT’s performance and fulfillment in all material respects of the express covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement, none of Acquiror, the UPREIT or the REIT warrant, nor shall any of them be responsible for, the federal, state or local tax consequences to any or all of Contributor, any or all of the Interest Holders and any or all of the LP Unit Recipients resulting from either (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) the allocation, if any, of losses and liabilities of the UPREIT to and among the Contributor or any of the Interest Holders in Contributor under the UPREIT Agreement, the Code or Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code. 


The provisions of
this Section 3.3.6 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any conveyancing documents delivered at Closing.

3.4.UPREIT
Agreement; Other Informational Materials. For purposes hereof, the term “UPREIT Agreement” shall mean the form
of limited partnership agreement upon which Acquiror and Contributor have agreed on or prior to the date hereof and that shall
be filed by Acquiror as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) business days following the date hereof.
Contributor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ownership of LP Units by it and its respective rights and obligations as a
limited partner of the UPREIT (including, without limitation, its right to transfer, encumber, pledge and exchange LP Units) shall
be subject to all of the express limitations, terms, provisions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the UPREIT
Agreement. (In the event that there are any LP Unit Recipients in addition to Contributor, then Contributor shall cause such LP
Unit Recipients to execute a joinder to this Agreement for purposes of acknowledging their agreement to be bound by the provisions
of this Section 3.4 and any and all other appropriate provisions of this Agreement upon which Acquiror and Contributor mutually
and reasonably agree, including, but not limited to, any representations and warranties made by Contributor that should also be
appropriately made by the LP Unit Recipients.).


Contributor and
the other LP Unit Recipients hereby covenant and agree that, at Closing, they shall execute any and all documentation reasonably
required by the UPREIT and the REIT to formally memorialize the foregoing (collectively, the “UPREIT Agreement Adoption Materials”).
Contributor and the other LP Unit Recipients acknowledge that they have received and reviewed, or shall receive and review, prior
to the Closing Date, the following: (i) Acquiror’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2014; (ii) Acquiror’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015
(assuming the filing thereof prior to the Closing); (iii) Current Reports on Form 8-K of Acquiror since January 1, 2015;
(iv) the UPREIT Agreement; and, (v) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of Acquirer. Contributor and the other LP Unit Recipients
acknowledge that they: (a) have had an opportunity to conduct a due diligence review of the affairs of Acquiror; and (b) have
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive additional information from, Acquiror regarding the REIT and the
UPREIT.


3.5.Lock-Up
Period. The LP Unit Recipients agree that for a period equal to one (1) year following the Closing (the “Lock-Up
Period”), the LP Unit Recipients may not, pursuant to the terms of the UPREIT Agreement, in any way or to any extent, exchange,
convert or redeem any or all of the Convertible Common Units issued to them at Closing into shares of the REIT’s common stock
or any other form. The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any of the conveyancing
documents delivered at Closing.


3.6.Volume
Restriction. From and after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the LP Unit Recipients may sell Stock only in compliance
with the applicable resale limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive
the Closing and shall not merge into any of the conveyancing documents delivered at Closing.


3.7.Registration
Rights. At Closing, Acquiror shall cause the REIT to confer to Contributor the benefits of its Master Registration Rights
Agreement, dated on or before Closing (including the supplement thereto into which the parties shall enter at Closing, the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), a copy of which has been delivered to Contributor.


3.8.Partnership
Liabilities and Sale of the Property.


3.8.1.For
a period of one (1) year following the Closing, the REIT shall not, and shall cause the UPREIT to not:












    -6- 


     


    

 


 


	 	(i)	sell the Property (or membership interests or other equity interests in the Contributor Affiliate or successors thereto) other than pursuant to a tax-deferred exchange effectuated in compliance with Section 1031 of the Code, and shall refrain from selling any acquired replacement Property (or membership interests therein) other than pursuant to Section 1031; 


 


	 	(ii)	defease or prepay any of the Contributor Property Indebtedness with respect to the Property other than for purposes of concurrent refinancing of those assets with non-recourse mortgage debt of equal or greater amount; 


 


	 	(iii)	subject the entirety, or any portion, of the Property to cross-default or cross-collateralization with other assets of the UPREIT; and 


 


	 	(iv)	provide any guaranty or additional collateral for any of the assumed debt encumbering the Property. 


3.8.2.For
a period of one (1) year following the Closing, the REIT shall and shall cause the UPREIT to:


 


	 	(i)	promptly replace any portion of the Property that is condemned or lost to casualty; 


 


	 	(ii)	provide, in the event of an unavoidable loss of mortgage indebtedness allocable as basis to the Property, whether through transfer of ownership of the Property to a taxable subsidiary of the REIT or otherwise, an opportunity for Contributor to replace such indebtedness for tax basis purposes with a surrogate for lost basis in the form of a liquidation-based guaranty of a sufficient quantity of UPREIT payables and obligations outstanding at any time; and 


 


	 	(iii)	provide, in the event of an inability of the UPREIT to comply with the above parameters, a make-whole cash payment by the UPREIT to Contributor in the full amount of all state and federal tax obligations incurred by them pursuant to special allocations of built-in gain made to them as a result of the sale, defeasance or failure of replacement of the Property (or membership interests or other equity interests in the Contributor Affiliate or successors thereto), in the full amount of the resulting state and federal tax obligations of Contributor (at the maximum personal rate), plus a gross-up payment sufficient to defray the state and federal taxes applicable to such make-whole payment. 


3.8.3.Without
limitation of the above, at such time as any sale of the Property (or membership interests or other equity interests in the Contributor
Affiliate or successors thereto) or defeasance of the loan(s) encumbering the Property is foreseeable, or a condemnation or casualty
has occurred or is in process (in the case of a condemnation), the UPREIT shall promptly notify Contributor of such known facts,
and shall provide it with full disclosure of the operative circumstances, and an opportunity to provide input with respect to the
determination of the strategy for perpetuating tax deferral.












    -7- 


     


    

 


3.8.4.Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 3.8, the obligation of either or both of the REIT and the UPREIT to undertake those activities
set forth in Sections 3.8.1, 3.8.2 and 3.8.3 hereof shall, in all events, be subject to, and otherwise interpreted
consistent with, the REIT’s fiduciary and statutory obligations to all partners (both present and future) in the UPREIT,
and to its stockholders, both present and future. Further, for purposes of this Section 3.8 and except as otherwise provided
in Section 3.9, the LP Unit Recipients agree that neither the REIT nor the UPREIT shall be required to obtain any approval,
consent or waiver from, or take direction from, or otherwise communicate with, any person or representative or entity concerning
the Property, other than the person(s) designated in Section 19 herein (the “Property Contact(s)”). Notification
of the Property Contacts for the Property shall constitute sufficient and effective notification to all Interest Holders associated
with the Property, and written communications from the Property Contact(s) for the Property shall bind all Interest Holders associated
with, related to, or having an interest in, the Property.


The provisions of
this Section 3.8 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any of the conveyancing documents delivered at
Closing.


3.9.Notice
of Certain Transactions.


3.9.1.Provided
that the obligations of the REIT and the UPREIT under Section 3.8 shall not have terminated by the terms of such section,
in the event that, on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a post-Closing sale of the Property that will not provide
the UPREIT with an opportunity to continue to defer Contributor’s tax deferral (whether pursuant to Section 1031 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or otherwise) (a “Tax-Related Event”) is considered reasonably likely
to occur, in the reasonable judgment of the UPREIT, then the UPREIT shall give written notice of such Tax-Related Event (a “Tax-Related
Notice”) to the Property Contacts for the Property as soon as practicable after the UPREIT concludes that a Tax-Related Event
is reasonably likely to occur, or, if later, on the date on which the UPREIT is, in the reasonable judgment of its counsel, legally
permitted, under applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, to disseminate such Tax-Related Notice to the Property
Contacts.












    -8- 


     


    

 


3.9.2. Upon
their receipt of a Tax-Related Notice, the Property Contacts shall designate a single spokesperson from among them to represent
the Interest Holders in connection with the Tax-Related Event that triggered the delivery of such Tax-Related Notice (the “Spokesperson”).
The LP Unit Recipients hereby irrevocably appoint any Spokesperson so designated as their attorney-in-fact, with full power to
grant in the name of and on behalf of such LP Unit Recipient, any and all consents, waivers, approvals, and to execute any and
all documents required or appropriate to be executed, whether with respect to this Agreement, the UPREIT Agreement or otherwise;
provided, however, that such attorney-in-fact may only act within the scope necessitated by the Tax-Related Event giving rise to
the appointment of such Spokesperson. The foregoing power of attorney is hereby declared to be irrevocable and a power coupled
with an interest. The UPREIT and the REIT shall be entitled to rely on the first written notice either of them receives that designates
a Spokesperson with respect to a given Tax-Related Event, and shall be under no obligation to deal with any person other than the
Spokesperson so designated in connection with the subject Tax-Related Event as it relates to the LP Unit Recipients. The UPREIT
and the REIT shall have no obligation to deal with any person or entity whatsoever in connection with a Tax-Related Event unless
and until a Spokesperson is properly designated. The UPREIT and the REIT, and their respective independent accountants, attorneys
and other representatives and advisors, shall cooperate with the Spokesperson in order to consider strategies proposed by or through
the Spokesperson (it being understood that neither the REIT nor the UPREIT shall have any obligation whatsoever to propose any
such strategies), on behalf of affected LP Unit Recipients, which strategies are designed or intended to defer or mitigate any
recognition of gain under the Code by any LP Unit Recipient or any shareholder or partner in any LP Unit Recipient (any such gain
recognition being referred to herein as an “Adverse Tax Consequence”) that may result from a Tax-Related Event, whether
such strategies involve any or all of the LP Unit Recipients (including Contributor) on a basis independent of the REIT and UPREIT,
or in conjunction with the REIT or the UPREIT. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the procedure
delineated in this Section 3.9.2. Under this Section 3.9.2, the UPREIT and the REIT are only obligated to cooperate with
the Spokesperson on behalf of any LP Unit Recipient (or any partner, shareholder or member of any LP Unit Recipient) who may be
facing an Adverse Tax Consequence, in connection with such LP Unit Recipient’s determination of the efficacy of tax-deferral
or tax-mitigation alternatives proposed by or through the Spokesperson that may involve the REIT or the UPREIT. In no event shall
either the REIT or the UPREIT be required to incur any expense (other than the cost of professional fees and expenses and administrative
expenses incurred in complying with this Section 3.9) in connection with its cooperation under this Section 3.9, nor
shall any transaction duly approved by the Board of Directors of the REIT that results in a Tax-Related Event be required to be
suspended, postponed, impeded or otherwise adversely affected by virtue of any potential Adverse Tax Consequence. The provisions
of this Section 3.9 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any of the conveyancing documents delivered at Closing.


 


	 	4.	CLOSING. 


The contribution
of the Member Interest and the delivery of LP Units contemplated herein shall be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”),
to take place at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties and on a date mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Closing
Date”). The Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the risk of loss of all or any portion of the Property prior to the Closing shall be governed by Section 10 of
the Master Agreement.












    -9- 


     


    

 


 


	 	5.	CONFIDENTIALITY. 


Each party agrees
to maintain in confidence, and not to disclose (and shall cause its affiliates, employees and equity holders to maintain in confidence,
and not to disclose) to any person or entity (including, without limitation, tenants or tenants’ employees), the information
contained in this Agreement or pertaining to the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that each party, its agents
and representatives may disclose such information and data (i) to such party’s accountants, attorneys, existing or prospective
lenders, investment bankers, accountants, underwriters, ratings agencies, partners, consultants and other advisors in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Representatives”) to the extent that such Representatives
reasonably need to know (in the disclosing party’s reasonable discretion) such information and data in order to assist, and
perform services on behalf of, the disclosing party; (ii) to the extent required by any applicable statute, law, regulation
or Governmental Authority (including, but not limited to, Form 8-K and other reports and filings required by the SEC and other
regulatory entities; (iii) in connection with any litigation that may arise between the parties in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Property or any of them; (iv) to the extent such disclosure is
required or appropriate in connection with any securities offering or other capital markets or financing transaction undertaken
by the REIT; (v) to the extent such information and data become generally available to the public other than as a result of
disclosure by such party or its agents or Representatives; (vi) to the extent such information and data become available to
such party or its agents or Representatives from a third party who, insofar as is known to such party, is not subject to a confidentiality
obligation to the other party hereunder; and (vii) to the extent necessary in order to comply with each party’s respective
covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement. In the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
not be consummated, such confidentiality shall be maintained indefinitely.


 


	 	6.	CONVEYANCE MATTERS. 


6.1.Conveyance
of Member Interest. At Closing, Contributor shall deliver to Acquiror the fully completed and fully executed Members Instrument
(to the extent applicable, and if necessary to do so for purposes of conveying the Properties).


6.2.Title
Commitment. Prior to Closing, Contributor shall deliver to Acquiror a commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for
the Land, dated after the Contract Date, issued by First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), for

Asset Value.


6.3.Survey.
Prior to Closing, Contributor shall deliver to Acquiror a copy of an existing survey for the Land and Improvements.


6.4.Title
at Closing. At Closing, the Land shall be free and clear of all liens, covenants, restrictions, easements and other title
exceptions or objections except for the Permitted Exceptions. Title to the Land at Closing shall be good and marketable and insured
by the Title Company with such endorsements as Acquiror shall reasonably require.


6.5.Permitted
Exceptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean:

    -19- 


     


    

 


10.2.1.Transfer of Guarantees. Acquiror
and Contributor acknowledge that certain parties (the “Guarantors”), have delivered guarantees and/or indemnitees (the
“Guarantees”), in connection with the Contributor Property Indebtedness encumbering the Property. Acquiror and Contributor
agree that, as a part of the contribution of the Member Interest to the UPREIT, and to the extent possible, the UPREIT will assume
the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees. The UPREIT shall indemnify and defend the Guarantors from and against any
claims, causes of action, judgments, losses, costs, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees
of counsel selected by the Guarantors and costs of litigation (collectively, the “Losses”) which the Guarantors may

or incurred as a result of, or due to, or because of, acts or omissions first occurring from and after the Closing Date (collectively,

increase any or all of the obligations of the Guarantors, then the UPREIT shall not be required to become the replacement guarantor
or to assume the obligations thereunder. If such lender does not consent to the transfer of the Guarantors’ liability under
the Guarantees and the assumption by the UPREIT of the obligations thereunder, and regardless of whether such lender has consented

Losses which the Guarantors may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with the Guarantees, but only with respect to Post-Closing
Losses.


If, under the loan
documents evidencing and securing the Contributor Property Indebtedness encumbering the Property, consent of the lender thereunder
is not required in order to transfer the Member Interest as contemplated under this Agreement, Contributor shall not be required
to, seek such lender’s consent to the transfer of Guarantors’ liability under the Guarantees. In such case, the Guarantors
shall remain as the Guarantors under the Guarantees, and the UPREIT shall indemnify and defend the Guarantors from and against
any Losses which the Guarantors may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with the Guarantees, but only with respect

that any or all of Contributor, the Contributor Affiliate and members or partners (whether direct or indirect) of either or both

any or all of (x) the holder of the Northern Property Indebtedness, (y) a Governmental Authority or (z) a utility
company that provides utility services to the Property (“Utility Company”), any bonds, guaranties, indemnities, letters
of credit, cash or other comparable forms of collateral (in each instance and collectively, the “Existing Collateral”),

	 	12.	PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. 


The following shall
be prorated and adjusted between Contributor and Acquiror as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified and any such prorations
shall be subject to the requirement that they not be duplicative of any of the calculations required under the Master Agreement
in order to calculate the Gross Asset Value:


12.1.The
amount of all security and other tenant deposits, and interest due thereon, if any, shall be credited to Acquiror or paid to Acquiror
at Closing;


12.2.Acquiror
and Contributor shall divide the cost of any closing escrows hereunder equally between them;


12.3.Subject
to Section 13.4 below, and if and to the extent not paid by tenants in the Property, water, electricity, sewer, gas, telephone
and other utility charges based, to the extent practicable, on final meter readings and final invoices, or, in the event final
readings and invoices are not available, based on the most currently available billing information, and reprorated upon issuance
of final utility bills;


12.4.As
of the 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, there shall be apportioned between the Contributor (or, at Contributor’s direction,
Contributor Affiliate formerly owning, whether fully or in part, an interest in the Property) and the UPREIT (i) rent under
all Leases, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest (and principal, if applicable) due under the Contributor Property Indebtedness
encumbering the Property, (iii) taxes, insurance and operating expenses of the Property to the extent borne by the Contributor
or the Contributor Affiliate, as the case may be, rather than by the tenants, (iv) payments with respect to the items listed
in the preceding clause (iii) that are received from tenants to the extent prepaid (including all security deposits) or paid
in arrears to the Contributor or the Contributor Affiliate, as the case may be, and (v) other matters customarily prorated
in substantial commercial real estate transactions involving office Property in the respective jurisdictions in which the Property
is located. Any amounts due pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall be paid in cash at the Closing. To the extent that the amount
of the items to be prorated are not reasonably ascertainable as of the Closing Date, such as tenant chargebacks or collections
for tenant reimbursements, they shall be adjusted promptly after the determination of the amount thereof;


12.5.The
Contributor or the Contributor Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed for all, if any, reserves, escrows and deposits
maintained under the Northern Property Indebtedness encumbering the Property and assigned to the UPREIT, which reimbursement shall
increase the value of the contribution deemed made by Contributor and the number of the LP Units issuable to Contributor shall
be correspondingly increased; and


12.6.Contributor
shall be responsible for all bills and invoices for labor, goods, material and services of any kind relating to the Property and
accruing or due on or before the Closing Date, if and to the extent that tenants are not liable for such costs and such costs and
charges under the Leases, which amounts shall be based on the most currently available billing information and shall be reprorated
upon issuance of final invoices.












    -23- 


     


    

 


In the event of
a discrepancy between the Closing Statement and the prorations described above, the Closing Statement shall govern in all events.
For purposes of calculating prorations, the UPREIT shall be deemed to be the indirect owner of the Contributor’s or the Contributor
Affiliate’s, as the case may be, interest in the Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible
for the expenses thereof, for the entire Closing Date. Bills received after Closing that relate to expenses incurred, services
performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid, in cash, by Contributor, to the extent
due and owing. Distributions in respect of the LP Units acquired by the LP Unit Recipients shall begin to accrue from and after
the Closing Date (notwithstanding the fact that such date may not be the applicable record date under the UPREIT Agreement), and
the amount of distributions paid or to be paid to the LP Unit Recipients for any quarter shall be prorated accordingly. The terms
of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing indefinitely and shall not merge into any conveyancing documents delivered
at Closing.


 


	 	13.	CLOSING EXPENSES. 


13.1.All
title examination charges, title insurance premium, survey costs, environmental assessment charges, notary fees and other such
third party charges relating to the Transactions shall be paid by Acquirer, but if such amounts are customarily paid by a seller
in a substantial commercial transaction in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, the value of the contribution deemed
made by Contributor with respect to the Property shall be reduced in the corresponding amount and the number of LP Units issuable
to Contributor shall be correspondingly reduced.


13.2.Although
the parties intend that no real estate transfer or recording fees or taxes will be due in connection with the contribution of the
Member Interest, if it is finally determined that such taxes are due and payable in connection herewith, such real estate transfer
or recording fees or taxes shall be paid by the party who customarily pays such costs in a substantial commercial transaction in
such jurisdiction.


13.3.The
aggregate amount of the costs itemized in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 are referred to herein collectively as the “Closing Costs.”
At Closing, the Contribution Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of Closing Costs due from, but not paid by, Contributor
(the “Reduction Amount”).


13.4.Except
as otherwise provided in the Master Agreement, each party shall each pay its own due diligence costs and legal, brokerage, lenders,
investment banking and accounting costs and fees related to the Transaction and preparation of this Agreement and all documents
required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, Acquiror shall cause the UPREIT to pay all documented
third party investment banking and other transaction costs incurred by Contributor and the Contributor Affiliate and payable at
the Closing; when such payment is made, the value of the contribution deemed made by Contributor shall be reduced in the corresponding
amount and the number of LP Units issuable to Contributor shall be correspondingly reduced.


 


	 	14.	DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR DIMINUTION OF PROPERTY. 


If, prior to Closing,
all or any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or other natural casualty, or is taken or made subject to condemnation, eminent
domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings, then the provisions of Section 10 of the Master Agreement shall in all
such cases control.












    -24- 


     


    

 


 


	 	15.	DEFAULT. 


15.1.Default
by Contributor. If Contributor’s or any LP Unit Recipient’s representations and warranties contained herein
shall not be materially true and correct on the Contract Date or on the Closing Date, or if any or all of Contributor and the LP
Unit Recipient fail to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by Contributor (including Contributor’s
obligation to close), or any LP Unit Recipient, as the case may be, or if any of the Acquiror’s Conditions Precedent shall
not have been satisfied, Acquiror may elect to exercise, against Contributor, any of the rights and remedies granted under Section 28.3(c)
of the Master Agreement.


 


15.2.Default
by Acquiror. In the event Acquiror defaults in any of its obligations under this Agreement, then Contributor may elect
to exercise, against Acquiror, any of the rights and remedies granted under the Master Agreement.


 


	 	16.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 


Except as may be
expressly permitted under the Master Agreement, or as otherwise set forth herein below, the terms, conditions and covenants of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective nominees, successors, beneficiaries
and assigns. Except as may be expressly permitted under the Master Agreement, no direct or indirect conveyance, assignment or transfer
of any interest whatsoever of, in or to the Member Interest or the Property shall be made by Contributor during the term of this
Agreement. Neither party shall be permitted to assign all or any part of its interest in this Agreement. At Closing, Acquiror shall
assign all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to the UPREIT. Upon the assignment and novation of this Agreement
by Acquiror to the UPREIT, the UPREIT then shall be deemed to be the Acquiror hereunder for all purposes hereof, and shall have
all rights and liabilities of Acquiror hereunder and Acquiror then, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the Master
Agreement, shall be released from all liability hereunder.


 


	 	17.	LITIGATION. 


In the event of
litigation between the parties with respect to the Property, this Agreement, the performance of their respective obligations hereunder
or the effect of a termination under this Agreement, the losing party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing
party in connection with such litigation, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by
the prevailing party. The parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that in the event of litigation between them, as contemplated
above, and the resolution of that litigation through compromise, settlement, or partial judgment, the court before which such litigation
is initially brought shall have the right to allocate responsibility, between Contributor and Acquiror, for all costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, attorneys’ reasonable fees) incurred by both Contributor and Acquiror in the pursuit of that
litigation resolved through compromise, settlement or partial judgment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the obligations of the parties under this Section 17 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the
Closing, if applicable, and shall not be merged into any of the conveyancing documents delivered at Closing.

This Agreement is
for the benefit only of the parties hereto and their nominees, successors, beneficiaries and assignees as permitted in Section 16
above, and no other person or entity shall be entitled to rely hereon, receive any benefit here from or enforce against any
party hereto any provision hereof, whether as a purported third party beneficiary or otherwise.

	 	20.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. 


All liabilities
and obligations of each party under this Agreement shall be those of such party only. Subject to the consummation of this Agreement,
neither party shall, under any circumstances, look to any person or entity other than the other party, including, but not limited
to, any affiliate of such other party, for performance or satisfaction of such party’s obligations and liabilities in connection
with this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the REIT or any Affiliate of Acquiror or Contributor, as the case
may be, or their respective members, partners and shareholders, shall incur any liability under any document or agreement required
in connection with this Agreement or the Master Agreement, and neither party shall be required (in connection with this Agreement)
to execute any document or agreement that does not expressly exculpate and release such parties and their respective successors,
assigns, affiliates, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and representatives from any liability or obligation arising
out of, or in connection with, this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, upon consummation of this Agreement, the UPREIT shall
thereupon assume, and thereafter stand in the place of the Acquiror with respect to, all representations, warranties, covenants,
liabilities and obligations of Acquiror under this Agreement, and the UPREIT and the REIT shall otherwise have such liability as
expressly provided herein.


 


	 	21.	BROKERAGE. 


Each party hereto
represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt with no brokers or finders in connection with this transaction and that
no broker, finder or other party is entitled to a commission, finder’s fee or other similar compensation as a result hereof.
Contributor hereby indemnifies, protects and defends and holds Acquiror harmless from and against all losses, claims, costs, expenses,
damages (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by Acquiror) resulting or arising from the claims
of any broker, finder or other such party, claiming by, through or under the acts or agreements of Contributor. Acquiror hereby
indemnifies, defends and holds Contributor harmless from and against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages (including, but
not limited to, attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by Contributor) resulting or arising from the claims of any broker, finder
or other such party claiming by, through or under acts or agreements of Acquiror. The obligations of this Section 22 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement and the Closing, if applicable, and shall not be merged into any of the conveyancing
documents delivered at Closing.


 


	 	22.	FURTHER ASSURANCES. 


All actions required
to be taken pursuant to this Agreement to effectuate the transaction contemplated herein shall be taken promptly and in good faith
by Contributor or Acquiror, as the case may be. Contributor and Acquiror shall use their reasonable, diligent and good faith efforts,
and shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the other in its efforts, to obtain or cause to be obtained, any and all consents
and approvals of third parties (including, but not limited to, governmental authorities) that may be necessary in connection with
the transaction contemplated hereby. Contributor and Acquiror agree to (i) furnish with, or cause to be furnished to, the
other party such documents or further assurances, and (ii) perform, or cause to be performed, such undertakings as the other
party may reasonably request at any time in connection with (a) the transaction contemplated by, and (b) the respective
obligations of Contributor, the LP Unit Recipients and Acquiror, as the case may be, set forth in, this Agreement.

inspection, copying and audit by Acquiror’s designated accountants; and (ii) cooperate with Acquiror (without any third
party expense to Contributor) in obtaining any and all permits, licenses, authorizations, and other governmental approvals necessary

to abide by any and all reporting requirements and obligations of Acquiror related to this Agreement. At any time within two (2) years
after the Closing, Contributor further agrees to provide to Acquiror’s designated independent auditor, upon request of Acquiror
or such auditor: (a) access (to the same extent to which Acquiror would be entitled to such access) to the books and records
of the Property and all related information regarding the period for which Acquiror is required to have the Property audited under
the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (b) a representation letter delivered by each managing agent

	 	24.	MISCELLANEOUS. 


24.1.Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Master Agreement, together with all other agreements specifically contemplated thereunder,
constitute the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, and all prior or contemporaneous
oral agreements, understandings, representations and statements, and all prior written agreements (except the Master Agreement
and all other agreements specifically contemplated thereunder), understandings, letters of intent and proposals, in each case with
respect to the transaction contemplated herein, are hereby superseded and rendered null and void and of no further force and effect.
Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument
in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination
is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.


24.2.Time
of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations
by Contributor or Acquiror or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should be on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. As used herein, the term “legal holiday” means any state or federal holiday for
which financial institutions or post offices are generally closed in the State of Illinois for observance thereof.


24.3.Conditions
Precedent. The waiver of any particular Acquiror’s Condition Precedent or Contributor’s Condition Precedent
shall not constitute the waiver of any other.


24.4.Construction.
This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that
it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Contributor and Acquiror have contributed
substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. The headings of various Sections in this Agreement are for convenience
only, and are not to be utilized in construing the content or meaning of the substantive provisions hereof.

Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland. The parties
agree that any litigation arising in connection with this Agreement shall be filed in federal or state courts in the State of Maryland.

any Condition Precedent for its benefit contained in this Agreement.


24.8.Certain
Securities Matters. No sale of LP Units is intended by the parties by virtue of their execution of this Agreement. Any
sale of LP Units contemplated under this Agreement will occur, if at all, upon the Closing.


24.9.Counterparts;
Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of executing this Agreement, any signed
document transmitted by facsimile machine or e-mail transmission (in either case a “Fax”) shall be considered
as an original signature. Any such Fax document shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as an original document.


24.10. Legal
Representation. Contributor acknowledges that Acquiror was represented by Paesano Akkashian Apkarian, P.C. in conjunction
with this Agreement. Contributor had the opportunity to seek legal counsel in conjunction with this Agreement, and has either executed
this Agreement following advice of legal counsel or has executed this Agreement without legal advice after having reasonable opportunity
to retain counsel. This Agreement shall be considered mutually drafted by the parties, and to the extent any ambiguity arises,
such ambiguity is not to be interpreted against one party over the other.
