rendering such advice and service. The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the
Advisor’s obligations to the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. 

7.2 Policy with Respect to Allocation of Investment Opportunities. Before the Advisor presents an investment opportunity that
would in its judgment be suitable for the Company to another Advisor-sponsored program, the Advisor shall determine in its sole discretion that the investment opportunity is more suitable for such other program than for the Company based on factors
such as the following: the investment objectives and criteria of each program; the cash requirements and anticipated cash flow of each entity; the size of the investment opportunity; the effect of the acquisition on diversification of each
entity’s investments; the income tax consequences of the purchase on each entity; the policies of each program relating to leverage; the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for
investment. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is, in the sole discretion of the Advisor, equally suitable for both the Company and another Advisor-sponsored program, then the Advisor may offer the other program the
investment opportunity if it has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity. The Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to fairly allocate investment opportunities in accordance with such allocation method
and will promptly disclose any material deviation from such policy or the establishment of a new policy, which shall be allowed provided (a) the Board is provided with notice of 

  
 12 

 
such policy at least 60 days prior to such policy becoming effective and (b) such policy provides for the reasonable allocation of investment opportunities among such programs. The Advisor
shall provide the Independent Directors with any information reasonably requested so that the Independent Directors can ensure that the allocation of investment opportunities is applied fairly. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Advisor
or an Affiliate from pursuing an investment opportunity directly rather than offering it to the Company or another Advisor-sponsored program so long as the Advisor is fulfilling its obligation to present a continuing and suitable investment program
to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company. If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of a property or a delay in the construction of a property, causes any such investment, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors and the Advisor, to be more appropriate for an entity other than the entity which committed to make the investment, however, the Advisor has the right to agree that the other entity affiliated with the Advisors or
its Affiliates may make the investment. 
 ARTICLE 8. 

LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES 

Anything else in this Advisory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole
judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT, (b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or
statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Stock or its other Securities, or the Operating Partnership, or (d) violate the Charter, the Bylaws or the Operating Partnership Agreement, except
if such action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further
clarification or instructions from the Board. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its members, managers,
directors, officers and employees, and stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers and employees of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or the Operating Partnership or to the Board or Stockholders for any act or
omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers or employees, or stockholders, directors or officers of the Advisor’s Affiliates except as provided in this Advisory Agreement. 

ARTICLE 9. 
 FEES

 9.1 Asset Management Fee. Commencing on the date hereof, the Company shall pay the Advisor a monthly Asset Management
Fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.65% of the Average Invested Assets, with respect to the Managed Assets. For Managed Assets exceeding $700 million, the Company shall pay the Advisor a monthly Asset Management Fee in an amount equal to
one-twelfth of 0.80% of the Average Invested Assets, with respect to such Managed Assets exceeding $700 million. The Advisor may elect to receive the Asset Management Fee, in whole or in part, in OP Units or Stock. 

9.2 Property Management Oversight Fee; Property Management Fee. Either the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor may serve as
the Property Manager with respect to a Property or may subcontract these duties to any third party and provide oversight of such third party. For any Property for which the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provides oversight of a third party
that performs the duties of a Property Manager with respect to such Property, the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor will receive a monthly property management oversight fee (the “Property Management Oversight Fee”) equal to 1.0% of
the monthly gross revenues with respect to such Property; provided, however, that for any Property that focuses on providing housing to seniors, including, but not limited to, an independent living community, assisted living community, memory care
facility or continuing care retirement community, other than such Property that is leased to a third party tenant under a triple-net lease (or other lease structure substantially similar to a triple-net lease),

  
 13 

 
the monthly Property Management Oversight Fee will be an amount equal to 1.5% of the monthly gross revenues with respect to such Property. For any Property for which the Advisor or an Affiliate
of the Advisor directly serves as the Property Manager without sub-contracting such duties to a third party, the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor shall receive a property management fee that is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Independent Directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated third
parties (the “Property Management Fee”). The Company or the Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor or the Affiliate of the Advisor for any property-level expenses that such entity paid or incurred on behalf of the Company,
including salaries, bonuses and benefits of Persons employed by the Advisor or the Affiliate of the Advisor. 
 9.3 Construction
Management Fee. For each Property for which the Advisor or its Affiliates assist with planning and coordinating the construction or redevelopment of such Property or construction of any capital improvements thereon, the Company may pay the

“Excess Expense Guidelines”) for such year unless a majority of the Independent Directors determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient. If a majority of the Independent
Directors does not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If a majority of the Independent Directors determines such excess was justified, then within
60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the Excess Expense Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of a majority of the Independent Directors, shall send
to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within 60 days of such quarter
end), together with an explanation of the factors a majority of the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the
meetings of the Board of Directors. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 10.4

THIS SERIES A CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 28th
day of June, 2017, by and among SSSST Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Strategic Student & Senior Housing Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership (the “Company”), and SAM Preferred Investor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”). 

WHEREAS, the Operating Partnership proposes to issue and sell to the Purchaser up to an aggregate of 480,000 Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Units of Limited Partnership Interest at a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit (the “Preferred Units”) in consideration for the Purchaser making a capital contribution to the Operating Partnership in an amount up to

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions and representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby agrees to
purchase up to an aggregate of 480,000 Preferred Units in one or more Closings (as defined below); 
 WHEREAS, the terms and provisions of
the Preferred Units shall be set forth and established in Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), dated as of the date hereof, to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, effective
as of the date hereof (the “Partnership Agreement”), which Amendment and Partnership Agreement shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2, respectively; 

WHEREAS, the Preferred Units are being offered and sold by the Operating Partnership to the Purchaser without being registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in reliance upon the Section 4(a)(2) private placement exemption therefrom; and 

WHEREAS, certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 14 hereof. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

Section 1. Representations and Warranties of the Operating Partnership and the Company. Except as set forth in the
disclosure schedules hereto, the Operating Partnership and the Company, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date (as defined below) and agree with the Purchaser, as follows:

 (a) As of June 28, 2017, the only subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and the Company are the subsidiaries listed on
Schedule I hereto (the “Subsidiaries”). 
 (b) Each of the Operating Partnership and the Company has been duly
organized and is validly existing as a limited partnership or corporation, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation,
general or limited partnership, or limited liability 

  
 1 

 
company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except where the failure to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Operating Partnership, the Company and the Subsidiaries has full power and authority (limited partnership, corporate and other) to own or lease, as the case may be, and operate its properties and to
conduct its business, and in the case of each of the Operating Partnership and the Company, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Operating Partnership, the
Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified or registered to do business in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification or registration, except where the failure
to be so qualified or registered would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; and, other than the Subsidiaries, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing, neither the Operating Partnership nor the Company owns
or will own any stock or other beneficial interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity. 
 (c) The
Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of the date hereof, holds all of the general partnership interest of the Operating Partnership. As of June 28, 2017, there are 222.22 partnership units of the Operating

interest of the Operating Partnership are issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding general partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and all of the issued and outstanding capital stock or ownership interests of each

Lien. All of the issued and outstanding Partnership Units have been duly authorized and are validly issued, and holders of Partnership Units do not have any obligation to make payments to the Operating Partnership or its creditors (other than the
purchase price for the Partnership Units) or contributions to the Operating Partnership or its creditors solely by reason of such holders’ ownership of Partnership Units. All such issued and outstanding Partnership Units are majority-owned by
the Company in the percentages indicated on Schedule I hereto, directly or indirectly through Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Lien. None of the outstanding Partnership Units was issued in violation of preemptive or other similar rights of
any security holder or partner of the Operating Partnership arising by operation of law, under the Partnership Agreement, or any agreement to which the Operating Partnership is a party. All of the issued and outstanding Partnership Units have been
offered, sold and issued in compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation, federal and state securities laws.

agreement to which the Company is a party. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been offered, sold, and issued in compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation, federal and state
securities laws, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) There is no outstanding option, warrant, or other right
requiring the issuance of, and no commitment, plan, or arrangement to issue, any equity interests in the Operating Partnership or any shares of capital stock of the Company or any equity interests in any Subsidiary or any security convertible into
or exchangeable for such interests or shares. 
 (f) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by each of the
Operating Partnership and the Company and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each of the Operating Partnership and the Company, enforceable against each of the Operating Partnership and the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity. 

(g) The Partnership Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by the Company, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating
Partnership, and, when executed and delivered by the Company, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited

Agreement shall be in full force and effect as of each Closing Date. 
 (h) The Amendment has been duly authorized by the Company, in its
capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, and, when executed and delivered by the Company, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

and, when issued and delivered by the Operating Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement against payment of the consideration therefor specified herein, will be validly issued, and the Purchaser will not have any obligation to make
payments to the Operating Partnership or its creditors (other than the purchase price for the Preferred Units) or contributions to the Operating Partnership or its creditors solely by reason of the Purchaser’s ownership of Preferred Units. The
issuance of the Preferred Units will not be subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any security holder or partner of the Operating Partnership arising by operation of law, under the Partnership Agreement or any agreement to which the
Operating Partnership is a party. 

  
 3 

 (j) There are no transfer taxes or other similar fees or charges under federal law or the laws of
any state, or any political subdivision thereof, or any other Governmental Authority required to be paid in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance and sale by the Operating Partnership of the Preferred Units.

 (k) The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Operating Partnership and the Company of this Agreement and consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership or corporate action, as applicable, and will not result in any Default (as defined below) under the certificate of limited partnership of
the Operating Partnership or the Partnership Agreement, the Charter or bylaws of the Company or any organizational document of any Subsidiary; (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default (or, with the giving of notice or
lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Operating Partnership, the
Company, or the Subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any indenture, mortgage, loan, or credit agreement, deed of trust, note, contract, franchise, lease, or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant, or
instrument to which the Operating Partnership, the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties or assets may be bound (collectively, “Agreements or Instruments”), and provided, that
none of the Operating Partnership, the Company, or any Subsidiary shall enter into any Agreement or Instrument that would restrict or limit in any respect the rights of the Purchaser as set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) will not result in
any violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, or decree applicable to the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the Subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator, or other
authority having jurisdiction over the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets. No consent, approval, authorization, or other order of, or registration or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required for the execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Operating Partnership and the Company of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except such as have been obtained or made by the Operating Partnership
or the Company and are in full force and effect or as may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or applicable state securities or blue sky laws. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition
which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture, or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption, or
repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness. 
 (l) The Operating Partnership, the Company, and the Subsidiaries have complied in all
respects with all laws, regulations, and orders applicable to them or their respective businesses, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect; none of the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the Subsidiaries is in default under any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, loan agreement, bond, debenture, note agreement, or evidence of indebtedness, lease, contract, or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
respective properties or assets are bound, violation of which would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, and no other party under any such agreement or instrument to which the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the
Subsidiaries are a party is, to the knowledge of the Operating Partnership or the Company, in default in any material respect thereunder; and the Operating Partnership, the Company, and the Subsidiaries are not in violation of their respective
certificate of limited partnership, Partnership Agreement, Charter, bylaws, or other organizational documents, as the case may be. 

  
 4 

 (m) There is not pending or, to the knowledge of the Operating Partnership or the Company,
threatened any action, suit, or proceeding to which the Operating Partnership, the Company, and the Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, or managers is a party, or of which any of their properties or other
assets is the subject, before or by any Governmental Authority, that is reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to result in any Material Adverse Effect or to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Operating Partnership or
the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Operating Partnership, the Company, and the Subsidiaries holds all material licenses, certificates, and permits from Governmental Authorities that are necessary to the conduct of its business and is in compliance with the terms and conditions of
such licenses, certificates and permits; and none of the Operating Partnership, the Company or the Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such permits, licenses or certificates that, if

by, or for the benefit of, any of the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the Subsidiaries, other than as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(p) There are no contracts, agreements or understandings between or among the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the Subsidiaries and any
person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Operating Partnership, the Company, or the Subsidiaries, or the Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee, or other like payment in connection with the offering, issuance and
sale of the Preferred Units or as a result of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (q) Each of the Operating Partnership, the
Company, and the Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state, local, and foreign income tax returns which have been required to be filed by it, except in any case in which the failure so to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid

hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed,
and delivered by the Purchaser, and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

 6 

 (d) The Purchaser need not give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization,

Agreement. 
 (e) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will
violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which the Purchaser is subject or any provision of its organizational documents, except
for such violations as would not materially impede the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (f) The Purchaser and its
representatives have had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Operating Partnership and the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the sale of the Preferred Units to the Purchaser and the business, properties,

 (g) The Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Units for
its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. 
 (h) The Purchaser has substantial experience as
a purchaser of equity securities issued by companies similar to the Operating Partnership and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and could afford a complete loss of such investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Preferred Units. The Purchaser acknowledges that in purchasing the Preferred Units it must be prepared to
continue to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time because the Preferred Units have not been registered under the 1933 Act and cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and
applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from such registration requirements are available, and then will be only transferable in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, as modified by the Amendment. 

(i) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act. 

(j) There are no contracts, agreements, or understandings between the Purchaser and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against
the Operating Partnership or the Company for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee, or other like payment in connection with the offering, issuance and sale of the Preferred Units to the Purchaser. 

(k) It is understood that any certificate(s) evidencing the Preferred Units shall initially bear substantially the following legend (in
addition to any legend otherwise required under applicable federal or state securities laws or by the Partnership Agreement): 
 “THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM OR NOT SUBJECT TO SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.”

 Section 3. Sale and Delivery to the Purchaser. 

(a) On the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Operating Partnership agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, up to an aggregate of 480,000 Preferred Units at one or more Closings, for the consideration specified in Section 3(b) below.

(same day) funds by wire transfer to the account of the Operating Partnership, on such business day as the Operating Partnership and the Purchaser shall agree (each such date of such payment being herein referred to as a “Closing
Date”). 
 (c) The certificate or book entry for the Preferred Units to be issued to the Purchaser shall be registered in such name
as the Purchaser may request in writing at least one full business day before the applicable Closing Date. If a certificate for the Preferred Units is issued, the certificate will be made available for examination by the Purchaser in Ladera Ranch,

 (b) From the date of this Agreement until the final Closing
Date, except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Operating Partnership and the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to, (i) conduct its operations only in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and
(ii) use its reasonable commercial efforts to conduct its operations in compliance with applicable laws and to maintain and preserve intact its business organization, to retain the services of its current officers and key employees, to preserve
its assets and properties in good repair and condition, and to preserve the good will of its customers, suppliers and other persons with whom it has business relationships. 

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 4(b), and except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Operating Partnership
and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, take any action that would constitute a breach of any Protective Provision (as such term is defined in the Amendment) from the date of this Agreement until the final Closing
Date, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  
 8

hereof, on behalf of the Company and as general partner of the Operating Partnership, certifying as to the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, on behalf of the Company and as general partner of the Operating Partnership, and other
limited partnership and corporate proceedings relating to the authorization, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(d) At the initial Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have received (i) the Amendment and the Partnership Agreement, substantially in the
forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2, respectively, duly executed by the Company, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, and on behalf of the existing limited partners in the Operating Partnership
(via power of attorney), and the Purchaser; and (ii) a certificate or book entry registered in the name of the Purchaser representing the number of Preferred Units to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 3 (the
“Preferred Units Certificate”), duly executed by the Company, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership. 

(e) At the initial Closing Date, counsel for the Purchaser shall have been furnished with such documents as it may reasonably require in order
to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein included; and all proceedings taken by the Operating Partnership or the Company that are necessary in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Preferred Units shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser and its counsel. 
 If any condition
specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser by notice to the Operating Partnership and the Company at any time at or prior to the final
Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions concerning payment of expenses under Section 5 hereof, the provisions concerning indemnification under Section 7
hereof, and the provisions relating to governing law shall remain in effect. 
 Section 7. Indemnification. 

(a) Each of the Operating Partnership and the Company, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against all actual third party costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) and any actual losses and damages (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by the
Purchaser (whether or not due to third party claims) that arise out of or result from (i) any material 

  
 10 

 
inaccuracy in or any material breach of, as of the date hereof or as of any Closing Date, any representation and warranty made by the Operating Partnership and/or the Company in this Agreement;
and (ii) any material failure by the Operating Partnership or the Company to duly and timely perform or fulfill any of their covenants or agreements required to be performed by them under this Agreement. 

(b) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Partnership and the Company from and against any and all Losses suffered or
incurred by any of the Operating Partnership or the Company (whether or not due to third party claims) that arise out of or result from (i) any material inaccuracy in or any material breach of, as of the date hereof or as of any Closing Date,
any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in this Agreement, and (ii) any material failure by the Purchaser to duly and timely perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements required to be performed by the Purchaser under this
Agreement. 
 (c) All claims for indemnification by a party seeking indemnification under this Section 7 shall be asserted and resolved
as follows. If an indemnifying party intends to seek indemnification under this Section 7, it shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of such claim. The failure to provide such notice will not affect any rights hereunder except
to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby. If such claim involves a claim by a third party against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party may, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice and upon notice
to the indemnified party, assume, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party, the settlement or defense thereof (in which case any Losses associated therewith shall be the
sole responsibility of the indemnifying party), provided, that the indemnified party may participate in such settlement or defense through its own counsel and at its own cost and expense; provided, further, that, if the indemnified
party reasonably determines that representation by the indemnifying party’s counsel of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party may present such counsel with a material conflict of interest, then the indemnifying party shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of the indemnified party’s counsel, which counsel will be approved in writing (including, without limitation, as to fee structure) by the indemnifying party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the indemnifying party may, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party, at any time prior to the indemnifying party’s timely delivery of the notice referred to in the
third sentence of this Section 7(c), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the indemnifying party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests, (ii) the indemnifying party
may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a third-party claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Section 7 with respect to such claim and (iii) the indemnifying party may not, without the
consent of the indemnifying party, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. So long as the indemnifying party is contesting any such claim in good faith, the indemnifying
party shall not pay or settle any such claim without the indemnifying party’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of the claim pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or is entitled but does not contest such claim in good faith (including if it does not notify the indemnifying party of its assumption of the defense of such claim within the ten (10)-day period set forth above), then the indemnifying
party may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the expense of the indemnifying 

  
 11 

 
party, the settlement or defense thereof, and the indemnifying party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. The failure of the indemnifying party to participate in, conduct or control
such defense shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any obligation it may have hereunder. Any defense costs required to be paid by the indemnifying party shall be paid as incurred, promptly against delivery of invoices therefor. 

(d) The parties hereto agree that any indemnification payments made with respect to this Agreement shall be “grossed up” such that
the indemnifying party will pay an amount to the indemnifying party that reflects the hypothetical tax consequences of the receipt or accrual of such indemnification payment, using the maximum applicable statutory rate (or, in the case of an item
that affects more than one tax, rates) of tax and reflecting, for example, the effect of deductions available for taxes such as state and local income taxes. 

Section 8. Confidential Information. The Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their respective
affiliates, as the case may be, will maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such party in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such party;
provided, that the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their respective affiliates, as the case may be, may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and
affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by the Preferred Units); (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the
Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 8; (iii) any other holder of Preferred Units; (iv) any accredited investor to which the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their
respective affiliates, as the case may be, sells or offers to sell Preferred Units or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 8); (v) any person from which the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their respective affiliates, as the case may be, offers to purchase any security of the Operating Partnership, the Company,
or any of their respective Subsidiaries (if such person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8); (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their respective affiliates, as the case may be; and (vii) any other person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (v) to effect
compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their respective affiliates, as the case may be; (w) in response to any subpoena or other legal process; (x) in
connection with any litigation to which the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their respective affiliates, as the case may be, is a party; (y) in connection with the assumption by the Company of any debt; or (z) if an
Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Amendment) or other Optional Repurchase Event (as such term is defined in the Amendment) has occurred and is continuing, to the extent the Purchaser or the Operating Partnership, the Company or their
respective affiliates, as the case may be, may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under this Agreement. Without the prior written
consent of the Operating Partnership and the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, no party hereto may make an announcement, issue an advertisement or a press release, or otherwise make any publicly available statement
concerning 

  
 12 

 
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than as required by or pursuant to U.S. federal or state securities laws. Each holder of Preferred Units, by its acceptance of such
Preferred Units, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 8. 

Section 9. Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and
warranties included in this Agreement, or included in certificates of officers of the Operating Partnership and the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Purchaser or any person controlling the Purchaser, or by or on behalf of the Operating Partnership and the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Preferred Units until the date that is two (2) years after the
final Closing Date; provided, that: (a) the representations and warranties in Section 1(b), Sections 1(f) through 1(i), Section 1(k), Sections 2(a) through 2(c) and Section 2(e) shall survive indefinitely; and (b) the
representations and warranties in Section 1(c), Section 1(d), Section 1(p), and Section 1(q) shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension
thereof) plus sixty (60) days. All covenants, agreements (including as to confidentiality) and indemnities of the parties contained herein shall survive the final Closing Date indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified therein;
provided, that, with respect to indemnities for inaccuracies in or breaches of representations, such indemnities shall survive for the period specified for the applicable representations.
