the economic risk of losing its entire investment in the Securities. 
 (b) The Contributor acknowledges that it has
(i) received, read, and fully understands the Investor Package, (ii) been provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers and other responsive information from, knowledgeable representatives of the
Purchaser, LATA and the Contributor’s Representative concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities being offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Investor Package, the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by
the Master Agreement and each of the other agreements included in the Investor Package, and the business, affairs, strategy, financial condition and properties of LATA and the Purchaser, both historically and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Master Agreement and each of the other agreements included in the Investor Package, and (iv) obtained such additional materials and information requested by either the Contributor or its own
representatives, including its own professional financial, legal and tax advisers, as it and its advisers have deemed necessary or advisable in order to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Investor Package and the other
information and materials provided to it by representatives of the Purchaser, LATA and the Contributor’s Representative. 

(c) The Contributor acknowledges that it is basing its decision to invest in the Securities on the Investor Package and its own
investigation of the information contained therein or otherwise obtained by the Contributor, and that it has not relied upon any representations made by any other Person. The Contributor recognizes that an investment in the Securities involves
substantial risk and the Contributor is fully cognizant of and understands all of the risk factors related to such Securities. 

(d) The Contributor acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Securities has not been accompanied by the publication of any public
advertisement or by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act).

 7 








 
transfer or enter into any contract to distribute, sell or transfer any of the Securities for a period of at least six (6) months after the date on which it receives the Securities. The
Contributor understands that (i) the LATA Organizational Documents, the OP Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement contain additional restrictions as to the transferability of the Securities, (ii) that no active trading market
exists for the Securities (or the shares of LATA Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the OP Units) and (iii) the Contributor’s investment in the Securities (and the shares of LATA Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the OP Units)
will be highly illiquid and may have to be held indefinitely. 
 (g) The Contributor is fully aware that the Securities have not
been registered with the SEC in reliance on the exemptions specified in Regulation D under the Securities Act, which reliance is based in part upon the Contributor’s representations set forth herein. The Contributor understands that the
Securities have not been registered under applicable state securities laws and are being offered and sold pursuant to the exemptions specified in said laws, and unless they are registered, they may not be re-offered for sale or resold except in a
transaction or as a security exempt under those laws. 
 (h) The Contributor understands that none of the Purchaser, LATA or
their owners, officers, employees, directors, general partners, Affiliates or advisors represent or otherwise act on behalf of such Contributor in any way in connection with the purchase of the Securities. The Contributor also understands that legal
counsel to the Purchaser, LATA and their Affiliates does not represent, and shall not be deemed under the applicable codes of professional responsibility to have represented or to be representing, the Contributor. 

(i) THE CONTRIBUTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE TO THE CONTRIBUTOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INVESTOR PACKAGE.
THE CONTRIBUTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL. 
 (j) The Contributor further represents and
warrants to LATA and Purchaser that the Contributor (i) has a minimum annual gross income of $70,000 and a net worth (excluding home, furnishings and automobiles) of not less than $70,000, or (ii) has a net worth (excluding home,
furnishings and automobiles) of not less than $250,000, or (iii) satisfies such other standards as may be established by any applicable state. 

  
 8 








 (k) Legends. The Contributor understands that any certificates evidencing the
Securities and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends: 
  

	 	(i)	“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.” 


 

	 	(ii)	Any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Agreements. 


 

	 	(iii)	Any legend set forth in, or required by, the OP Agreement or the LATA Organizational Documents. 


 

	 	(iv)	Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.


 3.10 Exculpation and Waiver of Claims. 

(a) Notwithstanding the information contained in the Investor Package and the other information and materials provided to or otherwise
obtained by the Contributor as described in Section 3.8, the Contributor understands and acknowledges that LATA, the Purchaser, the Contributor’s Representative and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, partners, members,
employees and agents may be in possession of additional material non-public information about LATA’s and the Purchaser’s operations, prospects and strategic plans that has not been disclosed to the Contributor or to its representatives.
Therefore, the Contributor understands that (i) any information in its possession regarding LATA and the Purchaser: (A) may be incomplete in whole or in part, (B) has been provided to it by LATA and the Purchaser without any
representation or warranty by them (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement), including without limitation, any representation or warranty that such information (1) is true, correct, accurate or complete, or (2) does not omit
any fact necessary to make any such information not misleading and (3) does not contain any omissions or misstatements that an investor would consider material in making a decision as to whether to invest in the Securities or enter in this
Agreement and (ii) as a result of the foregoing, it may not have adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of LATA and the Purchaser to make an informed decision regarding an investment in the Securities. 

(b) The Contributor hereby irrevocably agrees that it will not directly or indirectly institute, join any Person in instituting or take
any action to directly or indirectly institute, any legal or other proceeding against LATA, the Purchaser or any of their affiliates, officers, directors, partners, members, employees or agents for any reason relating to, or seeking


  
 9 








 
damages or remedies (whether legal or equitable) with respect to this Agreement, an investment in the Securities or any of the information that LATA, the Purchaser or any of their affiliates,
officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents or representatives has provided or omitted to provide to the Contributor in connection with the this Agreement or otherwise, other than in the case of any representation or warranty by LATA
or the Purchaser expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 8.3 Severability. If any term or other
provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy or the application of this Agreement to any Person or circumstance is invalid or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or
public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to any Party. To such end, the provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest
extent possible.

agreement of all of the Parties (which may include the Contributor’s Representative signing as attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Contributor).

extent permitted by law, to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. 
 (b) Each Party agrees that any Proceeding for any Claim
arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, shall be brought only in either the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in a Delaware state court sitting
in New Castle County, Delaware (each, a “Chosen Court”), and each Party irrevocably (a) submits to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts (and of their appropriate appellate courts), (b) waives any objection to laying venue
in any such Proceeding in either Chosen Court, (c) waives any objection that such Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum for the Proceeding, and (d) agrees that, in addition to other methods of service provided by law, service of process in
any such Proceeding shall be effective if provided in accordance with Section 8.2, and the effective date of such service of process shall be as set forth in Section 8.2. 

8.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it
may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties hereto (a) certifies that no
representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Parties
hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.6(a). 

8.8 Waiver. Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any Party
hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

Party. 
 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including its exhibits, appendices and schedules), the Master Agreement
and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto and thereto constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all other prior agreements,

 (a) The descriptive headings of
sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only, and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement, 

(b) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section,
Annex or Exhibit of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without

this Agreement refer to this entire Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise, words in this Agreement using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, and the use of any gender herein shall be
deemed to include the other genders. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, where any action is required to be taken on a particular day and such day is not a Business Day and, as a result, such action cannot be taken on such day, then
this Agreement shall be deemed to provide that such action shall be taken on the first Business Day after such day. 
 8.13
Contributor’s Representative. 
 (a) The Contributor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Contributor’s Representative, acting singly, as its true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact and authorizes the Contributor’s Representative acting for the Contributor and in the Contributor’s name, place and stead, in any
and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing reasonably necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Contributor might or could do in person,
except to the extent that this Agreement specifically provides for an action to be taken by or for, or a notice to be delivered to, the Contributor, including for the purposes of: (i) performing the duties of the Contributor’s
Representative as set forth in this Agreement; (ii) accepting from the Purchaser the payment of the Securities or any other amounts payable to the Contributor in connection therewith, and distributing to the Contributor its portion thereof;
(iii) changing the time, date or place of the Closing; (iv) granting any consent or waiver required or desired of the Contributor by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; (v) representing the Contributor in connection with any
dispute between the Contributor, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and LATA, on the other hand, including disputing or settling any claim by the Purchaser; (vi) determining the presence (or absence) of claims for payment pursuant to this
Agreement or any agreement executed in connection herewith; (vii) to engage and employ agents and representatives (including accountants, legal counsel and other professionals) and to incur such other expenses as the Contributor’s
Representative reasonably deems necessary or prudent in connection herewith; and (viii) taking any action and executing and delivering any and all documents contemplated by this Agreement and any other instruments which the Contributor’s


  
 18 









 
Representative may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Contributor hereby grants unto the Contributor’s Representative full power and authority to
do and perform each and every act as is described under this Section 8.13, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Contributor might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Contributor’s
Representative has lawfully done consistent herewith and may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The Contributor hereby agrees by executing this Agreement that the foregoing agency, proxy and power of attorney are coupled with an
interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Contributor’s Representative and shall survive the bankruptcy of such Person. The Contributor hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement any delivery
by the Contributor’s Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other documents executed by the Contributor’s Representative in accordance with this Section 8.13 or any decisions made by the
Contributor’s Representative in accordance with this Section 8.13 shall be binding on such Person as fully as if such Person had executed and delivered such documents or made such decisions. 

(b) The Contributor’s Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the
Contributor, except in respect of amounts received by Contributor’s Representative on behalf of the Contributor. The Contributor’s Representative shall not be liable to the Contributor for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent
employed by it under this Agreement or any other agreement or other document executed in connection herewith or therewith, except that the Contributor’s Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for bad faith or
willful misconduct. The actions of the Contributor’s Representative are fully and completely binding and the Purchaser is entitled to rely upon the provisions of this Section 8.13 and on the decisions, determinations and
instructions of the Contributor’s Representative. 
 (c) The Contributor will indemnify the Contributor’s
Representative and hold the Contributor’s Representative harmless against all loss, liability, or expense incurred without bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Contributor’s Representative and arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the Contributor’s Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Contributor’s Representative. The Contributor’s
Representative will be entitled to the advance and reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder. 
 8.14 Contribution to Certain Potential Liabilities Under Master Agreement. In addition to and not in lieu of the provisions of Section 8.13, the Contributor hereby acknowledges that EL
has agreed pursuant to the Master Agreement to assume or indemnify the Purchaser and LATA for certain potential liabilities relating to the Contributed Entity or the Property, some or all of which are to borne by the Contributor. The Contributor
hereby agrees to execute and deliver to EL at or prior to the Closing an agreement relating to the Contributor’s contribution toward such liabilities, if any, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. 

8.15 Attorneys’ Fees. Should any Party employ attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof against any other Party
(including, without limitation, in respect of the breach by such other Party of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder), the Party against whom any final judgment is entered agrees to pay the prevailing Party all
reasonable costs, charges, and expenses, including any attorneys’ fees and disbursements, expended or incurred in connection therewith.
