forth on Schedule B hereto; (b) liabilities in respect of uses of proceeds set forth on Schedule A hereto; (c) liabilities fully and adequately reflected or reserved against in the Specified SEC Reports; (d) liabilities
incurred in the Ordinary Course of business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries since the date of the latest audited annual financial statements included in the Specified SEC Reports, none of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect (either singly or when combined with other breaches of the representations and warranties in this Article III); (e) liabilities between or among any two or more of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries; and (f) liabilities
otherwise expressly disclosed on the Schedules to this Agreement. 
 3.10 Indebtedness. Schedule B hereto sets forth
all Indebtedness of the Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (including any Indebtedness secured by a mortgage on any real property) as of the Closing Date, listing separately (a) each such Indebtedness that is secured by a mortgage on any
specific real property and (b) any other material Indebtedness. Neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Indebtedness or any liabilities in respect thereof, whether currently due, accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated

insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers, in such amounts and covering such risks as are generally maintained by companies of established reputation engaged in the business of ownership of multifamily residential properties, and all
such insurance is in full force and effect and copies of all such insurance policies have been provided to the Purchasers in the respective due diligence data rooms for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Corporation has no reason
to believe that any of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries will not be able to (a) renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (b) obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or
appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (either singly or when combined with other breaches of the representations and warranties in this Article
III). Since January 1, 2011, none of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries has been denied any material insurance coverage that it has sought or for which it has applied. 
 3.15 Solvency. The Corporation and its Subsidiaries are able to pay their respective debts (including trade debts) as they mature. The fair saleable value of all the assets and properties
(including goodwill minus disposition costs) of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, exceeds the fair value of their liabilities, both before and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. The Corporation will not be left with unreasonably small capital after consummation of any transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 
 3.16 Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Sections 4.6 and 5.6, respectively, the offer, sale, and issuance of the
Series D Preferred Shares as contemplated hereby will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration or
qualification requirements of all applicable state securities Laws. Neither the Corporation nor any Person acting on its behalf will take any action that would cause the loss of any such exemption. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Sections 4.6 and 5.6, respectively, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Series D Preferred Shares as contemplated hereby will comply with all applicable federal and state Laws. 

  
 18

securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries registered with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity that have not been satisfied. 
 3.18 Waiver of Ownership Limits. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has waived the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit (as defined in the Charter), in accordance with the Charter, to permit the
Purchasers to acquire and hold an ownership position in the Corporation exceeding such limit or limits, to the extent provided in the REIT Ownership Limit Waiver delivered to the Purchasers at the Closing. 

3.19 Application of Takeover Protections. 
 (a) The Corporation and/or its Board of Directors have taken all action necessary such that (i)(A) iStar; (B) BREDS; (C) any of iStar’s and/or BREDS’ existing or future
“affiliates” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Business Combination Act (Title 3, Subtitle 6 of the MGCL) (the “Maryland Business Combination Act”)); (D) any of iStar’s and/or BREDS’ or any of their
“affiliates’” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Business Combination Act) existing or future “associates” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Business Combination Act); and (E) any person or entity acting in
concert with any of the persons or entities described in clauses (A)-(D) above, will never become an “interested stockholder” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Business Combination Act) under the Maryland Business Combination
Act and (ii) the provisions of the Maryland Control Share Act (Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the MGCL) shall never apply to any “control share acquisition” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Control Share Act) by iStar and/or BREDS
and/or any of their affiliates and/or “associates” (as that term is defined in the Maryland Control Share Act). The Corporation has provided certified resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and a certified copy of the
amended bylaw of the Corporation effectuating the provisions of the prior sentence. 
 (b) Except as subject to
Section 3.19(a), no other “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other antitakeover laws enacted or existing under U.S. state or federal laws or under the Charter, bylaws or any agreement or
instrument to which the Corporation is a party or the Corporation is bound apply to iStar, BREDS, their transferees, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

3.20 Certain Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule A hereto, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be
payable by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the
Transaction Documents. No Purchaser shall have any obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to 

  
 19 









 
any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by a Purchaser pursuant to agreements made by the Purchaser, which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of that Purchaser)
made by or on behalf of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 3.20 that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their employees, officers, directors, agents, partners and Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and
attorney’s fees) and expenses, as such fees and expenses are incurred, that are suffered in respect of (a) any claimed or existing fees or commissions of the type contemplated by this Section 3.20 for which the Corporation or any of
its Subsidiaries is responsible, other than those disclosed above, and (b) any failure of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to timely pay those fees and commissions disclosed above. 

3.21 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Series D Preferred Shares. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that
the Purchasers are acting solely in the capacity of arm’s-length purchasers with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Corporation further acknowledges that the Purchasers are not acting as a financial advisor
or fiduciary of the Corporation (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which the Purchasers are or will be a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given
by the Purchasers or any of their representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Series D Preferred Shares. The Corporation further
represents to the Purchasers that the Corporation’s decision to enter into this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which the Corporation is a party has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Corporation and
its representatives. The Corporation further acknowledges that the Purchasers have not made any promises or commitments other than as set forth in this Agreement, including any promises or commitments for any additional investment by the Purchasers
in the Corporation, except to the extent that the Purchasers may be party to, and as provided in, any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement executed and delivered in connection therewith. 

3.22 Environmental Matters. (a) Other than to a de minimis extent, none of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is in

has 

  
 22

acquire on reasonable terms, adequate patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks,
service marks, trade names or other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to conduct its business as described in the Specified SEC Reports, and neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or
inadequate to protect the interest of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate,
would result in a Material Adverse Effect (including when combined with other breaches of the representations and warranties in this Article III). Schedule 3.27 sets forth a true and complete list of all registered and unregistered Intellectual
Property that is necessary for the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to conduct its business as described in the Specified SEC Reports, other than commercially available or off-the-shelf Intellectual Property.

Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect (including when combined with other
breaches of the representations and warranties in this Article III); all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to

its Subsidiaries has received any notice of a Proceeding relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a
Material Adverse Effect (including when combined with other breaches of the representations and warranties in this Article III). 

  
 24 









 3.29 Title to Property. The Corporation and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property owned by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and good title to all other properties owned by them, in each case, free and clear of all Liens, claims or restrictions of any kind except (a) first
mortgages on the particular real properties and (b) such as do not, singly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Corporation or
any of its Subsidiaries; and all of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries holds properties described in the

regulation; (b) none of the Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their Subsidiaries has received written notice of any proposed material special assessment or any proposed change in any property tax, zoning or land use laws or
availability of water affecting any real property owned by the Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their Subsidiaries; (c) there does not exist any violation of any declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions with respect to
any real property owned by the Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their Subsidiaries, or any state of facts or circumstances or condition or event that could, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, constitute such a
violation; and (d) the developments or improvements comprising any portion of real property owned by the Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their Subsidiaries (the “Developments and Improvements”) are free of any
physical, mechanical, structural, design or construction defects and the mechanical, electrical and utility systems servicing the Developments and Improvements (including, without limitation, all water, electric, sewer, plumbing, heating,

 3.32 No Condemnation. No condemnation
or other Proceeding has been commenced that has not been completed, and, to the Corporation’s knowledge, no such proceeding is threatened, with respect to all or any portion of the real property owned by the Corporation, the Operating
Partnership and their Subsidiaries or for the relocation away from any such property of any roadway providing access to such property or any portion thereof. 
 3.33 Accounting Controls and Disclosure Controls. The Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that
(a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
accountability for assets; (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (c) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Since the date of the Corporation’s formation, there has been (i) no material weakness in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (whether
or not remediated) and (ii) no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting. The Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective to perform the functions for which they were established and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the
Corporation’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. 

3.34 Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes. All United States federal and state income Tax Returns and all material real property Tax
Returns of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries required by Law to be filed have been timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority and all other material Tax Returns that are required to have been filed by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries

any 

  
 26 









 
withholding Taxes that the Corporation or any Subsidiary is required to withhold with respect to payments to any Person, except for such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as
to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided and will be maintained in the financial statements included in the SEC Reports. All such Tax Returns referred to in this paragraph are true, correct and complete in all material
respects. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries in respect of any income and other Tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for
additional Tax for any years not finally determined. Neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any “listed transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.6011-4 (irrespective of the
effective date). Neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries is the subject of any audit, examination, or other proceeding in respect of federal, state, local or foreign Taxes, and no audit, examination or other proceeding in respect of
federal, state, local or foreign Taxes involving the Corporation or any Subsidiary has been threatened in writing. No deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed in writing against the Corporation or any Subsidiary that have
not been fully paid, and no claim has been made that the Corporation or any Subsidiary is or has been subject to Tax in any jurisdiction in which such entity does not or has not filed Tax Returns or paid Taxes, other than deficiencies or claims
relating to Taxes to which either the following clause (a) or (b) applies: (a) such deficiencies or claims, if successful, would not be material individually or in the aggregate, or (b) (i) such deficiencies or claims would
not, if successful, result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Corporation is contesting such deficiencies or claims in good faith through appropriate proceedings and (iii) adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been established

3.35 REIT Qualification. Commencing with the Corporation’s taxable year ending December 31, 2006, the Corporation has
been organized and has operated, and upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and thereafter will continue to be organized and operated, in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. The method of operation of the Corporation as described in the Specified SEC Reports will enable the Corporation to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for
its taxable year ending December 31, 2013 and subsequent taxable years. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary has taken any action or omitted to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the Corporation failing to
qualify as a REIT. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary holds any asset the disposition of which would cause the Corporation to increase Tax under the rules similar to Section 1374 of the Code under Treasury Regulations
Section 1.337(d)-7 or any similar provision. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary holds any asset the disposition of which would be treated as a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code
or has ever incurred any liability for Taxes from a “prohibited 

  
 27 









 
transaction” under Section 857(b)(6) of the Code. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary has taken or is currently planning to take any action that could result in the Corporation
or any Subsidiary being required to make any payment under any tax protection agreement or similar agreement. Each of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries has at all times since its formation been classified for federal income tax purposes as a
partnership or a disregarded entity, and is not and has not been either an association taxable as a corporation or a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, other than any entity with respect
to which an election to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (as defined in the Code) with respect to the Corporation has at all times been in effect.

an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA

Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Corporation, its Affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and all similar anti-bribery laws, and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and
which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary is currently conducting an investigation into any suspected or alleged violation of the FCPA of any similar anti-bribery
law. Neither the Corporation, its Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, consultant, employee, Affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, is (or for the last five years has been) under
administrative, civil, or criminal investigation, indictment, information, or audit by any party, in connection with alleged or possible violations of the FCPA or any similar anti-bribery law. Nor to the knowledge of the Corporation is there any
basis for any such investigation, indictment, information, or audit. Neither the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, agent, consultant, employee, Affiliate, or other person acting on
behalf of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, has 

  
 28

 42

apply to the extent necessary or advisable in order to satisfy a party’s or its Affiliate’s disclosure obligations or other obligations under applicable Law, as determined by such party, in which event such party shall first consult with
and reasonably consider any comments or suggestions of the other parties with respect thereto. 
 8.4 Confidentiality.
Subject to Section 8.3, each party hereto agrees that such party will hold, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors, members, managers, partners, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors,
financial sources, financial institutions, representatives and agents to hold, in confidence all confidential information and documents received from or on behalf of any other party hereto (including, without limitation, any material nonpublic

the Receiving Party to be bound by any confidentiality obligation; or (v) is required to be disclosed by Law or by any Governmental Entity. 
 8.5 Transfer Taxes. The Corporation shall pay all sales, use, transfer, stamp, conveyance, value added, or other similar taxes, duties, excises, or governmental charges imposed by any domestic or

applicable Purchaser Document), subject to the terms of such Purchaser Document. 

  
 43 









 (b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting on any certificate evidencing the Series D
Preferred Shares, except as otherwise permitted by Section 8.6(c), of a restrictive legend in substantially the form as follows, together with any additional legend required by any applicable state securities laws: 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS. THESE SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS
ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF             , 2013, AMONG LANDMARK APARTMENT TRUST OF AMERICA, INC. AND THE OTHER PARTIES NAMED
THEREIN, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. 
 (c) Certificates evidencing the Series D Preferred Shares shall not be
required to contain the legend set forth in Section 8.6(b): (i) if a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such Series D Preferred Shares under the Securities Act is effective; (ii) following any sale
of such Series D Preferred Shares in compliance with Rule 144; (iii) if such Series D Preferred Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to the last sentence of Rule 144(b)(l)(i) under the Securities Act; or (iv) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Corporation shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Corporation’s transfer
agent in connection with any transfer occurring after the effective date of any registration statement referred to in clause (i) above. Following such effective date or at such earlier time as such legend is no longer required for certain
Series D Preferred Shares, the Corporation will no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Series D
Preferred Shares, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Series D Preferred Shares that is free from such legend. The Corporation may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Corporation that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 8.6. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchasers shall be entitled to transfer any Series D Preferred Shares and any Series D Preferred Partnership Units to any Person if at any time the Corporation fails to qualify as a REIT.

 8.7 Director and Officer Insurance; Indemnification. 

(a) As long as the holders of any Series D Preferred Securities have a designee on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the
Corporation shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage in such amounts and on such terms as is customary for a publicly traded company of similar size to the Corporation. Such insurance shall


  
 44 









 
include coverage for all directors of the Corporation, including any director designated by the Purchasers. The Purchasers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Corporation’s directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the Initial Closing Date, a copy of which has been furnished to the Purchasers, complies with this Section 8.7(a) as of the date hereof; provided that upon the reasonable
request of the Purchasers from time to time, to modify or increase the coverage of the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that is then in effect in light of the circumstances existing at such time, then
the Corporation shall make such modifications or increase to such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or, if applicable, purchase an additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy) as may be
required, if at all, to comply with this Section 8.7(a). 
 (b) Upon or prior to the election of the BREDS Director to the
Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to the Series D Preferred Articles Supplementary and Governance Agreement, the Company shall deliver to BREDS (i) an Indemnification Agreement between the Corporation and the BREDS Director, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F and duly executed by an authorized officer of the Corporation and (ii) written evidence of an effective directors and officers liability insurance policy meeting the requirements of
Section 8.7(a). 
 8.8 Access. In addition to any other rights provided by Law or set forth herein, from and after
the Initial Closing Date, the Corporation shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, give the holders of any Series D Preferred Securities and their representatives access during reasonable business hours to (i) all properties, assets,
books, Tax Returns and related workpapers, contracts, commitments, reports and records relating to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the management, accountants, lenders, customers and suppliers of the Corporation and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that a party shall not be required to provide such access to any information or Persons if such party reasonably determines that access to such information or Persons would violate the attorney-client
privilege between such party or any Affiliate thereof and its counsel that cannot be provided to the holders of Series D Preferred Securities in a manner that would avoid the violation of such attorney-client privilege. The provisions of this
Section 8.8 shall terminate upon the redemption of all Series D Preferred Securities. 
 8.9 Amendments to Transaction
Documents. As long as any Series D Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, become or remain subject to any agreement or instrument, except for the
Transaction Documents, that would prohibit or require the consent of any Person to any amendment, modification or supplement to any of this Agreement, the Series D Preferred Articles Supplementary, the Series D Common Articles
Supplementary, the OP Amendment, the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Redemption Agreements or the Governance Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, any and all approval requirements of (i) shareholders of the Corporation
or partners of the Operating Partnership under their respective Organizational Documents or under applicable Laws or (ii) lenders to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective properties shall be
disregarded for purposes of this Section 8.9. 
  

  
 45 









 8.10 Integration. The Corporation shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure
that no Affiliate of the Corporation shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Series D Preferred Shares hereunder in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of any Series D Preferred Shares hereunder to the Purchasers. 

8.11 Compliance. Except as approved by the Purchasers in writing, the Corporation shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to,
comply in all material respects with all Laws, material leases, Material Contracts and instruments of record applicable to the operation of its business and properties. 
 8.12 Employment Agreement. Except as approved by the Purchasers in writing (which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld), the Corporation shall enforce, without
waiver, the employment agreement, dated as of August 3, 2012, entered into by and between the Corporation and Joseph Lubeck. 
 8.13 Antitakeover Measures. The Corporation agrees that while any shares of Series D Preferred Securities remain outstanding, neither it nor its Board of Directors shall adopt any antitakeover
measure, including, without limitation, a shareholder rights plan, a bylaw amendment that would have an antitakeover effect, establishing a staggered board or opting into any of the provisions in 3-803 to 3-805 of the Maryland General Corporation
Law, without the approval of the holders of the Series D Preferred Shares. 
 8.14 Property Acquisition Certifications.
The Corporation agrees that, with respect to each property it acquires with proceeds from a Subsequent Closing, the Corporation shall provide to the Purchasers, at or prior to the closing of such property acquisition, a certificate, duly executed by
the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation, certifying that (i) attached to such certificate are true and complete copies of the Acquisition Documents related to such property and (ii) the execution and delivery of the
Acquisition Documents does not, and the performance by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries of their respective obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby on the terms and conditions set forth
therein, will not (A) conflict with, violate, breach or constitute a default under the protective provisions set forth in the Series D Preferred Articles Supplementary or (B) require the consent of the holders of the Series D Preferred
Shares under the Series D Preferred Articles Supplementary unless otherwise previously obtained. 

  
 46

 9.1 Survival of Representations,
Warranties, and Covenants.

(other than the Purchasers and their Affiliates and representatives), or any 

  
 47 









 
representative thereof, including, without limitation, any allegation or claim that the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the exercise of rights provided for under any of the
Transaction Documents are invalid or illegal, except to the extent resulting from the bad faith or willful malfeasance of the Purchasers and their Affiliates; 
 (iv) any claim or Proceedings against a Purchaser or its Affiliates in its capacity as a direct or indirect stockholder of the Corporation, including, without limitation, any allegation or claim that a
Purchaser or its Affiliates acted with an ulterior purpose adverse to the interest of the Corporation and its stockholders; 

(v) any claim or Proceedings against the Purchasers commenced by any director, officer, employee or other representative of the
Purchasers (a “Representative”) who, in his or her capacity as a Representative of the Purchasers, has been appointed as a director of the Corporation, and (A) as a result of, or in connection with such Representative’s
position as a director of the Corporation, is or becomes subject to any claim or Proceedings (the “Originating Proceedings”), and (B) such Representative makes a claim or commences Proceedings against the Purchasers in respect
of an indemnity claim or claim for loss resulting from the Originating Proceedings; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchasers under this clause (iv) to the extent that the
Corporation is prohibited under applicable Law from indemnifying such Representative in respect of such Originating Proceedings; and 
 (vi) the application of Article VI of the Charter to the ownership or transfer of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Series D Common Stock, other than by reason of the applicable Person failing to
satisfy the condition to the waiver of the ownership restrictions applicable to such Person in the REIT Ownership Limit Waiver. 

(b) From and after the Closing, iStar shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and BREDS from and against any and all Losses
incurred, arising out of or relating to any breach by iStar of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by iStar in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

equitable remedies, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the parties 

  
 48 









 9.3 Procedures for Third-Party Claims. 

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third-Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an
Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in
notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay. 
 (b) Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee as long as (i) the Indemnitor
notifies the Indemnitee in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnitee has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any such Losses; (ii) the Indemnitor provides the
Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Third-Party Claim
involves only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment in respect of, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish
a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee; and (v) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. 

(c) As long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(b), (i) the
Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement in
respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld); and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
into any compromise or settlement in respect of the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld); provided, however, that, in respect
of clause (iii) above, the Indemnitee may condition such consent upon the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a duly executed unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third-Party
Claim. 
 (d) In the event any condition set forth in Section 9.3(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the
Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided that the Indemnitee will consult with and
obtain the consent of the Indemnitor in connection therewith which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld; (ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the
Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by,
the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 9.3. 

  
 49 









 9.4 Direct Claims. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days within
which to respond in writing to any claim by an Indemnitee on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have
rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee. 
 9.5 Certain Other Matters. Upon making any Indemnity Payment Indemnitor will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee against any third person (other than
an insurance company) in respect of the Loss to which the Indemnity Payment related; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitor shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loss and
(ii) until Indemnitee fully recovers payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnitor against any such third person on account of such Indemnity Payment will be subrogated and subordinated in right of payment to Indemnitee’s
rights against such third person. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the
above-described subrogation and subordination rights. Any Indemnity Payment hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the applicable purchase price.

 Each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to receive a copy of all notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement. 

10.11 No Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation agrees that neither it nor any
person acting on its behalf may assert any claim or cause of action against any officer, director, stockholder, controlling person, manager, member, partner, employer, agent, representative, or affiliate of a Purchaser or such Purchaser’s
officers, directors, stockholders, controlling persons, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, or representatives in connection with, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any such Person is or becomes a party to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. 
 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held (by a court of competent jurisdiction) to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable under the applicable Law of any jurisdiction, (i) the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances or in other jurisdictions shall not be affected thereby; and
(ii) such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

 10.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that if any
party refuses to perform under this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate the other parties for their injuries. Therefore, each party shall, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, be entitled to
obtain specific performance of this Agreement. If any action, suit, or proceeding is instituted by any party to enforce this Agreement, each of the other party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a
default by any party that results in the filing of an action for damages, specific performance, or other remedies, the other parties shall be entitled to reimbursement by the defaulting party of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
incurred by it. 
 10.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be
construed to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto, such parties’ “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined under the Maryland Business Combination Act and/or the Maryland Control Share
Act) and their respective permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 10.15 Waiver. The rights and remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy that may be available to any party whether at law, in equity, or otherwise. No
delay, forbearance, or neglect by any party, whether in one or more instances, in the exercise or any right, power, privilege, or remedy hereunder or in the enforcement of any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a
waiver thereof. With respect to any rights of the Purchasers, or any obligations of any party other than the Purchasers under this Agreement, no waiver of any provision, consent required hereunder or departure from this Agreement shall be valid
unless expressly and affirmatively made in writing and executed by the Purchasers (such waivers or consents to be made or given in each Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion), except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any other waiver
or consent shall be valid or binding only if expressly and affirmatively made in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged with such waiver. No waiver shall constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver or a waiver in respect of any
subsequent breach or default, either of similar or different nature, unless expressly so stated in such writing.
