     Section 3.03 Prorations.

          (a) General Rule. The Seller and Buyer agree to prorate the obligations and
liabilities of the Business, as set forth below. The operation of the Business and the income and
normal operating expenses attributable to periods prior to the Effective Time shall be for the
account of Seller and thereafter for the account of Buyer and, if any income or expense can be
allocated or credited as provided above, then it shall be allocated, charged or prorated
accordingly. Such prorations shall include (i) income and expenses for goods or services received
both before and after the Effective Time, (ii) any real estate or property Taxes, (iii) rents and
similar prepaid and deferred items, and (iv) prepaid cash (including prepaid rent and excluding
prepaid deposits). All special assessments and similar charges or Liens imposed against any of the
Purchased Assets in respect of any period of time immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether
payable in installments or otherwise, shall be the responsibility of Seller and amounts payable
with respect to such special assessments, charges or Liens in respect of any period of time after
the Effective Time shall be the responsibility of Buyer and such charges shall be adjusted as
required hereunder.

          (b) Manner of Determining Adjustments; Adjustment Reports. The adjustments and
prorations pursuant to Section 3.03(a) will be determined in accordance with the following
procedures:

          (i) Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer not later than three (3) Business Days
before the Closing Date a preliminary settlement statement, which shall set forth Seller’s
good faith estimate of the adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 3.03(a),
which good faith estimate shall be made in accordance with GAAP. The preliminary settlement
statement shall contain all information reasonably necessary to determine the prorations
under Section 3.03(a), to the extent such adjustments can be determined or estimated
as of the date of the preliminary settlement statement, and such other information as may be
reasonably requested by Buyer.

          (ii) Within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and
deliver to Seller a statement setting forth a calculation of the adjustments to the Purchase
Price under Section 3.03(a) (the “Closing Date Calculations”), which
calculations shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

18

 

          (iii) Except as set forth below, the Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to be
and shall be final, binding and conclusive on Seller and Buyer upon the earlier of (the
“Final Resolution Date”): (A) Seller’s delivery of a written notice to Buyer of its
approval of the Closing Date Calculations; (B) the failure of Seller to notify in writing in
accordance with Section 3.03(b)(iv) of a dispute with the Closing Date Calculations
(an “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s delivery of the
Closing Date Calculations to Seller; and (C) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant either
to Section 3.03(b)(v) or to Section 3.03(c), by the Independent Accounting
Firm.

          (iv) Buyer shall comply with Seller’s requests to review supporting documentation that
is reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Closing Date Calculations, including
providing Seller and its accountants and other representatives with reasonable access during
normal business hours to the books, records and materials reasonably necessary to prepare
the Closing Date Calculations. If Seller disagrees with the Closing Date Calculations,
Seller may, within thirty (30) days of the delivery by Buyer of the Closing Date
Calculations, deliver an Objection Notice setting forth Seller’s calculation of the
adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 3.03(a). Any such Objection Notice
shall specify those individual items in the Closing Date Calculations with which Seller
disagrees and the items, facts, amounts, calculations, or valuations used to determine such
items. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items or amounts contained in the
Closing Date Calculations and all calculations, items, facts, amounts or valuations used in
determining any line item of the Closing Date Calculations unless, and only to the extent,
such items, facts, amounts, calculations or valuations are specifically and timely objected
to in an Objection Notice. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice within such
fifteen (15) day period, the Closing Date Calculations determined by Buyer shall be binding
and conclusive on Seller and Buyer.

          (v) If Seller timely delivers an Objection Notice to Buyer in accordance with
Section 3.03(b)(iv), Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to reconcile their
differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding
and conclusive on Seller and Buyer. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach a resolution
within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller shall
submit their respective determinations and calculations and the items remaining in dispute
for resolution to BDO USA LLP (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). While Buyer and
Seller represents that they are not aware of any conflicts as of the date hereof that could
negatively impact the Independent Accounting Firm’s ability to serve in such capacity or to
allow for the possibility of such a conflict of interest or a refusal by the designated firm
to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, if the designated accounting firm is not
eligible or will not serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, Seller and Buyer shall
mutually agree to another independent accounting firm of national reputation and the
selected firm shall be the Independent Accounting Firm.

          (c) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent
Accounting Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty
(30) days after the dispute is first submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. Seller and
Buyer shall each submit within ten (10) days of the engagement of the

19

 

Independent Accounting Firm its calculation of the unresolved disputed items in the Objection
Notice, together with such work papers, calculations and other materials that such Party has
determined supports such Party’s calculation (the “Determination Materials”). The
Independent Accounting Firm shall base its determination of the disputed amounts solely on the
Determination Materials. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only consider those items and
amounts in the Closing Date Calculations to which Seller has timely objected pursuant to
Section 3.03(b)(iv) and which Buyer and Seller have been unable to resolve. The
Independent Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest
value or less than the smallest value for such item assigned to it by Buyer or Seller, as the case
may be. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding
and non-appealable on and by Seller and Buyer. If the Independent Accounting Firm resolves all
disputes presented to it entirely in the manner proposed by Seller or Buyer, as the case may be,
the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm relating to the resolution of such dispute
shall be paid by the other Party. In all other events, the fees and expenses of the Independent
Accounting Firm shall be shared based on the difference between Seller’s position, on the one hand,
and Buyer’s position, on the other hand, initially presented to the Independent Accounting Firm
(based on the aggregate of all differences taken as a whole) and the final resolution as determined
by the Independent Accounting Firm in proportion to the total difference between Seller’s and
Buyer’s initial positions.

          (i) Within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date
Calculations pursuant to Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(c), as the case may
be, either Buyer or Seller shall pay any amounts required by this Section 3.03 in
immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by party due the payment,
which, in the case of amounts due Buyer, be satisfied, at Buyer’s discretion, by directing
the Escrow Agent to release the appropriate portion of the Indemnity Holdback Amounts.

          (d) Payments pursuant to Section 3.03(c) shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase
Price. The payments to be made pursuant to Section 3.03(c) shall be made, with interest
thereon at the Prime Rate on such amounts from the Closing Date to the date of payment, in
immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer or Seller, as applicable.

     Section 3.04 Accounts Receivable.

          (a) At the Effective Time, Seller shall designate Buyer as its agent solely for the purpose of
collecting the Accounts Receivable, which relates to services provided prior to the Effective Time
(the “Retained A/R”). Seller shall deliver to Buyer, on or immediately after the Effective
Time, a complete and detailed statement of the Retained A/R. Buyer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts in the Ordinary Course of Business to collect the Retained A/R during the period
(the “Collection Period”) beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the one hundred
twentieth (120th) day following the Effective Time consistent with Buyer’s practices for collection
of its accounts receivable. Buyer shall not refer any of the Retained A/R to a collection agency
or to an attorney for collection without Seller’s written consent. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller for any collected or uncollected Retained A/R.
During the Collection Period, and provided Buyer is complying with its

20

 

obligations hereunder, neither Seller nor any of its agents, without the consent of Buyer,
shall make any direct solicitation of any customers owing the Accounts Receivable for collection
purposes.

          (b) Buyer will advise Seller of any counterclaims or set-offs that may arise subsequent to the
Closing Date with respect to any such Retained A/R, and will not compromise or otherwise agree to a
reduction in the face amount of any such Retained A/R without the prior written consent of Seller.
Buyer shall not take any action (nor shall it omit to take any action) that could reasonably be
expected to adversely impact the payment of any such Retained A/R. Buyer and Seller further agree
that (i) they will not attempt to influence any customer to allocate payment to invoices other than
in accordance with this Section 3.04; and (ii) there will be no right of setoff as between
Buyer and Seller hereunder with respect to payments required to be made by Buyer to Seller under
this Section 3.04, except for amounts owed under Section 3.04.

          (c) On or before the twentieth (20th) day following the end of each calendar month in the
Collection Period, Buyer shall deposit into an account identified by Sellers the amounts collected
during the preceding month of the Collection Period with respect to the Retained A/R in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller. Buyer shall furnish Seller
with a list of the amounts collected during such calendar month and in any prior calendar months
with respect to the Retained A/R and a schedule of the amount remaining outstanding under each
particular account. At any time during the Collection Period, Seller shall be entitled to inspect
and/or audit the records maintained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.04, upon reasonable
advance notice and during normal business hours.

          (d) Following the expiration of the Collection Period, Buyer shall have no further obligations
under this Section 3.04, except that Buyer shall immediately pay over to Seller any amounts
subsequently paid to it with respect to any Retained A/R (in accordance with the procedure set
forth in the fourth sentence of Section 3.04(c). Following the Collection Period, at
Seller’s request, Buyer shall assign to Seller and Seller may pursue collections of all the
Retained A/R, and Buyer shall deliver to Sellers all files, records, notes and any other materials
relating to the Retained A/R and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Sellers for the purpose
of collecting any outstanding Retained A/R.

     Section 3.05 Deposits. Buyer shall, within one (1) Business Day of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, pay to (a) Seller a non-refundable fee equal to Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($300,000.00) and (ii) Escrow Agent an earnest money deposit in the amount of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Escrow Deposit”). The Escrow Deposit shall be held by
the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by Buyer and Seller and payment of the Escrow Deposit by Buyer to the Escrow Agent,
the Escrow Agent shall execute the escrow agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 3.05 (the “Deposit Escrow Agreement”) to acknowledge the Escrow Agent’s
receipt of the Escrow Deposit and agreement to hold and disburse the Escrow Deposit strictly in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Deposit Escrow Agreement. The
Escrow Deposit (together with any interest thereon) shall be (1) delivered to Seller and applied
toward the Purchase Price if the Closing occurs, (2) delivered to and retained by Seller (as its
sole and exclusive remedy to liquidated damages) if Seller elects to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.05(c) due to a failure

21

 

of a condition precedent set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 if such
failure arises out of a breach by Buyer of any of its representations or warranties hereunder or a
failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements hereunder, or (3) returned to Buyer
if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as provided in clause (2) above. Each of
the Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 3.05 are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the payment of the Escrow
Deposit to Seller is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that
will compensate such party for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while
negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to
calculate with precision. The Parties agree that the payment of the Escrow Deposit to Seller in
accordance with this Section 3.05 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Seller or its
Affiliates with respect to a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.05(c) due
to a failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 if
such failure arises out of a breach by Buyer of any of its representations or warranties hereunder
or a failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements hereunder, and upon payment of
the Escrow Deposit to Seller, Buyer shall have no further liability to the other parties hereunder.

     Section 3.06 Allocation of the Purchase Price. Within thirty (30) days following the
completion of the process described in Section 3.03, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be
prepared and shall deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Purchase Price (together with all
other capitalizable items) among the assets of Seller prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of
the Code and the treasury regulations issued thereunder (and any similar provision of state or
local Law, as appropriate) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such draft Purchase Price Allocation, Seller will propose to Buyer in writing
any objections or proposed changes to such draft Purchase Price Allocation (and in the event that
no such changes are proposed in writing to Buyer within such time period, Seller will be deemed to
have agreed to, and accepted, the Purchase Price Allocation). Buyer and Seller will attempt in
good faith to resolve any differences between them with respect to the Purchase Price Allocation,
in accordance with requirements of Section 1060 of the Code, within ten (10) days after Buyer’s
receipt of a timely written notice of objection or proposed changes from Seller. If Buyer and
Seller are unable to resolve such differences within such time period, then Buyer and Seller shall
each use a separate Purchase Price Allocation that each reasonably determines satisfies the
requirements of Section 1060 of the Code. If Buyer and Seller agree (or are deemed to agree
pursuant to provisions of this Section 3.06) to the Purchase Price Allocation, then Buyer
and Seller shall report, act, and file in all respects and for all Tax purposes (including the
filing of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in a manner consistent with such agreed-upon Purchase

such costs and expenses in excess of the Expense Threshold plus 100% of such amount, will not be a
breach of this Agreement.

     Section 7.06 Notice. Each of Seller and MR Holdings, on the one hand, and Buyer, on
the other hand, will give prompt written notice to the other of any material adverse development
causing a breach of any of its own representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. No
disclosure by Seller or MR Holdings pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be deemed to amend
or supplement the Schedules; provided, however, if the adverse development relates to new actions,
occurrences, or events, first arising after the date of this Agreement, and prior to the Closing,
subject to Buyer’s rights under Section 8.05(b), the updated or amended Schedules shall
cure or remedy any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, for purposes of the provisions of
Article V, solely to the extent of such update or amendment.

     Section 7.07 Other Action. Each of the MR Holdings, Seller and Buyer shall, at the
earliest practicable date, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all
things necessary, under applicable Laws and to cause the fulfillment of all of the conditions to
its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing
and filing all forms, registrations, requests and notices required to obtain any requisite consent
by any third party or Governmental Authority.

     Section 7.08 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall, from
time to time, at the request of any other Party hereto and without further cost or expense to the
requesting Party, do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all further acts and things
and shall execute and deliver all further agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as
any other Party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

     Section 7.09 Publicity; Disclosure. Except as may be required by Law, or by the rules
of any applicable securities exchange, neither MR Holdings, Parent, Principal or Seller on the one
hand, or Buyer on the other hand, may issue any press release or other public announcement relating
to the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents without the prior
written approval of the other.

     Section 7.10 Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality.

          (a) In furtherance of the consideration being paid by Buyer to Seller hereunder, Seller
agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that, during the period beginning on the Closing
Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the
“Restricted Period”), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or
indirectly, during the Restricted Period do any of the following: (i) solicit the employment of or
hire any current employee of Seller (or any employee who was employed by Seller for any type of
employment within the eighteen (18) month period prior to the Closing Date) without the prior
written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Seller or any of
its Affiliates from (A) making general solicitation advertisements that are not targeted at such
employees, (B) hiring any such employee who contacts Seller or any of its Affiliates on his or her
own accord or (C) soliciting or hiring any such employee whose employment with Buyer is terminated
or who does not accept Buyer’s offer of employment pursuant to Section 7.11; (ii) call on,
solicit, or service any supplier, prospective supplier, licensee, licensor, or other business
relation of Seller with respect to products or services currently provided by the Business in order
to influence or induce or attempt to influence or induce such Person to decrease or cease doing
business with Seller; (iii) make any statement or do any act intended to cause existing customers
of Seller to make use of the services or purchase the services or products of any competitive
business; or (iv) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Seller to leave his or her employ or
in any way interfere with the relationship between any Seller and its employees; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from (x) making general
solicitation advertisements that are not targeted at such employees, (y) hiring any such employee
who contacts Seller or any of its Affiliates on his or her own accord or (z) soliciting or hiring
any such employee whose employment with Buyer is terminated or who does not accept Buyer’s offer of
employment pursuant to Section 7.11.

          (b) Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that the length of
the non-solicitation period is reasonable and narrowly drawn to impose no greater restraint than is
necessary to protect the goodwill of Seller and to protect Buyer’s legitimate ownership interest in
Seller. Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, considers the provisions of this
Section 7.10(b) to be fair and reasonable in order to protect the legitimate business
interests of Buyer.

45

 

          (c) If Seller or any Affiliate of Seller breaches or threaten to commit a breach of any of the
restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7.10, then Buyer shall have the following
rights and remedies against Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, which are in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies otherwise available to Buyer at Law or in equity for
Seller’s, or such Affiliate’s, as applicable, actions:

          (i) the right and remedy to have the restrictive covenants in this Section 7.10
specifically enforced against Seller or its Affiliates, including temporary restraining
orders and injunctions by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed by Seller, on
behalf of itself and its Affiliates that any breach or threatened breach by Seller or any of
its Affiliates of this Section 7.10 would cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that
money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer;

          (ii) the right and remedy to require Seller or its Affiliates to account for and pay
over to Buyer any monies and benefits derived or received directly or indirectly by it, from
any transaction constituting a breach of this Section 7.10; and

          (iii) the right and remedy to collect from Seller any reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and fees of Seller and/or its Affiliates incurred in enforcing this Section 7.10,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

          (d) Seller agrees that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction declares that there has
been a breach by Seller of this Section 7.10, the term of any such covenant so breached
shall be automatically extended for the period of time of the violation from the date on which such
breach ceases or from the date of the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a final
non-appealable order enforcing such covenant, whichever is later.

          (e) Seller shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.10 by any of its
Affiliates.

          (f) For a period of ten (10) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not disclose to any
third parties any Confidential Information relating to the Purchased Assets; provided that Seller
may disclose Confidential Information (i) that becomes publicly available through no fault of
Seller or its Affiliates, (ii) to the extent that the furnishing or use thereof is required by
legal proceedings; provided, however, that Seller shall promptly notify Buyer to permit Buyer to
seek a protective order or take other appropriate action, or (iii) to such Seller’s legal,
financial and Tax advisors.

          (g) It is the desired intent of Buyer and Seller that the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.10 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible in each jurisdiction in
which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, Buyer and Seller agree that if the covenants set forth
in this Section 7.10 are deemed by any court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the court or arbitrator may reduce the scope thereof or otherwise amend or
reform the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such reduction, amendment or
reformation to apply only with respect to the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is
made. Seller and Parent acknowledge that Buyer has no adequate remedy at law for any breach or any
threatened or attempted breach by Seller of the covenants and agreements set forth in this

46

 

Section 7.10 and, accordingly, Seller agrees that Buyer shall, in addition to the
other remedies that may be available to it hereunder or at Law, be entitled to commence proceedings
in equity and obtain an injunction temporarily or permanently enjoining Seller from breaching or
threatening or attempting any such breach of such covenants and agreements and to require
compliance by Seller with such covenants and agreements. For purposes of any such proceeding in
equity, it shall be presumed that the remedies at Law available to Buyer would be inadequate, and
that Buyer would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the violation of any provision of this
Section 7.10.

     Section 7.11 Employee Matters.

          (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller will terminate the employment of all of its
Employees. Buyer shall make offers of employment to each Employee, except where any such offer
would violate applicable Laws, including U.S. immigration Laws. The terms of Buyer’s offers of
employment to Employees pursuant to Section 7.11 shall include compensation and employee
benefits as Buyer may determine in its sole discretion; provided that: (i) Buyer shall not
terminate the employment of any Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment (other than for
cause, which shall be determined in Buyer’s sole discretion) prior to the six-month anniversary of
the Closing Date; and (ii) the initial base salary of Employees who accept Buyer’s offer of
employment shall be the same as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and employee benefits
for Employees who accept Buyer’s offer of employment shall, in the aggregate, have a value
comparable to the aggregate value of the employee benefits in effect for such Employees immediately
prior to the Closing. Additionally, Buyer agrees that it shall provide each Employee who accepts
Buyer’s offer of employment with service credit for the full amount of such Employee’s
uninterrupted service with Seller prior to the Closing Date for purposes of: (i) eligibility and
vesting (but not benefit accrual) under Buyer’s employee benefit plans, and (ii) rights to paid
vacation time under Buyer’s vacation policy. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this
Section 7.11 or otherwise in this Agreement shall obligate the Buyer to continue any term
or condition of employment or any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement for any period of
time or to employ any Employee for any period of time. Buyer shall make reasonable efforts to
cause the health insurance carrier for its employee group health plan to (i) waive any pre-existing
condition limitation under any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)
maintained by the Buyer in which any Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment and their
eligible dependents participate and (ii) provide each such employee and their eligible dependents
with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid by any of them during the relevant portion of
the plan year prior to the Closing Date in order to satisfy any applicable deductible or
out-of-pocket requirements under any employee welfare benefit plans in which any such employee and
their eligible dependents participate after the Closing Date. Seller will upon reasonable request
by Buyer provide to Buyer all information regarding each Employee as may be necessary for Buyer to
satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.11.

          (b) This Section 7.11(a) is solely for the purpose of defining the obligations between
Buyer and Seller concerning the employees of Seller, and will in no way (i) be construed as
creating any employment contract or right to employment for any specified time, (ii) create any
third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any
beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller, its Affiliates or any other Person other

47

 

than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, or
(iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or
maintained by Seller, Buyer, or any of their Affiliates.

     Section 7.12 Tax Matters. The following provisions will govern the allocation of
responsibility as between MR Holdings and Buyer for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

          (a) Property Taxes. All property Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Purchased Assets
(including, without limitation, property Taxes payable by the tenant or lessee under any lease)
will be pro-rated as of the Closing Date and that, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the economic burden of any such property Tax will be borne by Seller for the Pre-Closing
Period and by Buyer for the Post-Closing Period. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, (i) if Seller pays any such property Tax with respect to a Post-Closing Period,
Buyer will reimburse Seller upon demand for the amount of such property Tax; and (ii) if Buyer pays
any such property Tax with respect to a Pre-Closing Period, Seller will reimburse Buyer upon demand
for the amount of such property Tax.

          (b) Refunds and Tax Benefits; Amended Tax Returns. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer
or Seller, and any amounts to which Buyer or Seller become entitled that are credited against Tax,
that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (including any
Pre-Closing Tax Period) will be for the account of Seller, and Buyer will pay over to Seller any
such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement
thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Section 7.12(b) will apply
to any sales Tax rebates and refunds, property Tax exemptions, and credits or reductions in
property Taxes attributable to a retroactive reduction in assessment rate or assessment base.

          (c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and Seller will reasonably cooperate as and to the
extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with any audit, litigation or other
proceeding with respect to Taxes in respect of the Business or the Purchased Assets. Such
cooperation will include retaining and (upon such other Party’s request) providing records and
information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding, and
making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Seller shall (to the extent such books
and records are within their possession) (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax
matters pertinent to Seller or the Purchased Assets relating to any Tax period beginning before the
Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by
Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and abide by all record
retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) give each other reasonable
written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if
the other Party so requests, allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

          (d) Transfer Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and
other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other such fees and charges
(including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Seller when due, and Seller will, at

48

 

its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all
such Taxes, fees and charges, and if required by applicable Law, Buyer will join in the execution
of such returns and other documentation.

     Section 7.13 Risk of Loss. Seller shall bear the risk of any casualty loss or damage
to any of the Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Time. Seller shall be responsible for
repairing or replacing (as appropriate under the circumstances) any lost or damaged Purchased Asset
with a value of $2,000.00 or more (the “Damaged Asset”) unless such Damaged Asset was
obsolete or unnecessary for the continued operation of the Business consistent with Sellers’ past
practice. If Seller is unable to, or does not, repair or replace a Damaged Asset by the date on
which the Closing would otherwise occur under this Agreement, then, at the option of Seller, (a)
Seller shall reimburse Buyer by an amount equal to the deficiency or (b) the proceeds of any
insurance covering such Damaged Asset shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing, and to the extent such
proceeds are not sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in
repairing or replacing the Damaged Asset after the Closing, Seller shall reimburse Buyer by an
amount equal to the deficiency.

     Section 7.14 SEC Compliance. Seller and MR Holdings each acknowledges that Buyer is a
subsidiary of Buyer Parent, a publicly registered company that is required to disclose the
existence of this Agreement upon full execution and to make certain filings with the SEC or other
state securities regulators (the “SEC Filings”) that may include audited and unaudited
financial statements with respect to the Purchased Assets. To assist Buyer Parent in preparing the
SEC Filings and any required audited financial statements, Seller and MR Holdings agree to (a)
within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, and at Buyer’s request, any time
thereafter until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, deliver an audit inquiry letter
regarding pending litigation and other matters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
7.14(a) (the “Audit Inquiry Letter”) to Seller’s and MR Holdings’ counsel prior to
Closing and deliver to Buyer an executed letter from such counsel in response to the Audit Inquiry
Letter as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, (b) at Buyer’s request at any time until the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, deliver a representation letter in the form requested by
Buyer’s auditors (the “Representation Letter”) to Buyer, and (c) provide Buyer Parent,
within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, such financial and other data and
information relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets as Buyer and its registered
independent accounting firm may reasonably require in order to enable Buyer and its registered
independent accounting firm to prepare such audited and unaudited financial statements with respect
to the Business and Purchased Assets as Buyer Parent deems necessary to include in its SEC Filings,
including but not limited to an executed assurance or representation letter from Seller to Buyer
Parent’s registered independent accounting firm in a form acceptable to Buyer Parent (provided that
in no event shall MR Holdings or Seller have any liability to Buyer, Buyer Parent or such
registered independent accounting firm for the assurances or representations made therein, but MR
Holdings and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, at no cost or expense to MR Holdings and Seller, in
connection with such audit, including, if required by Buyer Parent’s registered independent
accounting firm, answering a standard SAS 99 questionnaire from such registered independent
accounting firm). The provisions of this Section 7.14 shall survive the Closing for a period of
365 days. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for its actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with compliance with this Section 7.14.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 9.01 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Closing, and thereafter (a) the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.05, 5.07(a), 6.01, 6.02, and
6.05, shall not expire, (b) the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 5.19, 5.20, 5.21 and 5.22 shall survive for the statute of
limitations period applicable to the subject matter of such representations and warranties
(including any extensions, tolling or waivers thereof) plus 60 days, (c) the balance of the
representations and warranties contained in Article V shall survive for a period of
eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements shall not expire except
that those covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed or complied with for a
shorter period of time shall survive only until the expiration of such shorter time period. Any
claim that has been asserted in accordance with Section 9.04 and that is pending on the
date of the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence may continue to be asserted and shall be indemnified against until fully and finally
resolved.

     Section 9.02 Indemnification of Buyer. Seller and Parent shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, members, managers equity holders, partners,
attorneys and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and
against (a) any and all Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting
from or relating to any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by
Seller, MR Holdings or Principal in this Agreement; (b) any failure of Seller or its Affiliates to
carry out, perform, satisfy and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements,
undertakings, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or any of the agreements or
instruments delivered by Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement (other than the
Management Agreement Amendments); (c) any Losses incurred by Buyer as a result of Seller, Parent or
Principal experiencing a Bankruptcy Event, including but not limited to, Losses incurred as a
result of a rejection of this Agreement by any court of competent jurisdiction as a result of a
Bankruptcy Event or any third party claims alleging this Agreement constitutes a fraudulent
conveyance under applicable Laws; (d) any and all Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party
arising out of, resulting from or relating to any Retained Liabilities; and (e) any-Pre-

52

 

Closing Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Principal shall
have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.02
or otherwise unless Principal is found to have committed fraud.

     Section 9.03 Indemnification of Seller. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold
Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents,
shareholders, members, managers equity holders, partners, attorneys and agents (collectively, the
“Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against (a) any and all Losses incurred by
any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to any breach or
non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer under this Agreement; (b) any breach or
inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement; (c) any
Post-Closing Taxes; and (d) the ownership of the Purchased Assets from and after the Closing.

     Section 9.04 Procedure.

          (a) A Person seeking indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give a
written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for its
claim and, the applicable provision(s) of this Agreement upon which the Indemnified Party relies
for its demand and a good faith estimate of the amount of the claim, to the Person(s) from whom
indemnification is sought hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) prior to the expiration of
the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.01.

          (b) If the claim is not a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnified Party in writing that
it disputes such claim. If no such dispute is received by the Indemnified Party within thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, the claim shall be deemed to be allowed.

          (c) If an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification because of a claim asserted by any
claimant other than an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party”), the Indemnified Party shall
deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly after receiving notice from such third
party (and in any event within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice from a Third Party);
provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made
or alleged by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall not be adversely affected by a
failure to give such notice unless that, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. All notices
given with respect to a Third Party Claim shall describe with reasonable specificity the Third
Party Claim, the basis of the Third Party’s claim for indemnification and the amount of Losses (or
a reasonable estimate thereof). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice
to the Indemnified Party, to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Third Party Claim solely
seeks (and continues to solely seek) monetary damages (unless such Third Party Claims seeks
equitable relief against any Person other than a Buyer Indemnified Party), and (ii) no conflict of
interest arises that, under applicable principles of legal ethics, in the reasonable judgment of
counsel to the Indemnified Party, would prohibit a single counsel from representing both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party
Claim. The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any
such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at its own expense;

53

 

provided, however, that if (A) any of the conditions described in clauses (i)-(ii) above fails
to occur or ceases to be satisfied, or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps
necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified
Party, then the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be
liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection
with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party with
respect to such Third Party Claim, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of such election within
a reasonable period of time based on the particular circumstances of the Third Party Claim (which
in any event, shall not exceed ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Claim), the
Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter
at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate.
The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this
Section 9.04(c), may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to a settlement of, or the entry of
any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim that (1) does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a complete
release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (2) grants any injunctive or
equitable relief or (3) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Indemnified Party or any business thereof. The Indemnified Party may not settle any Third Party
Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party or which is otherwise
being defended by the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Section
9.04(c), without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Subject to attorney-client privilege and other
confidentiality obligations, each of the Parties shall and shall cause their Affiliates (and their
respective officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents) to, make available to the
other(s) all relevant information in his or its possession relating to any such Third Party Claim
which is being defended by the other Party and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in the defense
thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights and claims of the Indemnified
Party, if any, with respect to any Losses paid by the Indemnifying Party under this
Article IX.

          (d) For purposes of determining whether there has been an inaccuracy in, misrepresentation of
or breach of, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, and for purposes of
calculating any Losses resulting therefrom, the terms “material,” “materiality,” “material adverse
effect” or similar qualifications contained in such representations and warranties shall be
disregarded.

     Section 9.05 Payment. A claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall
be deemed finally determined upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) it is deemed allowed
under Section 9.04(a); (b) entry of any final judgment or award rendered by a court of
competent jurisdiction; (c) full execution of a settlement of a Third Party Claim executed by both
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (d) the execution by the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party of a mutually binding settlement agreement with respect to a claim. Subject to
the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party
shall be required to pay all of the sums so owing in respect of such finally determined claim to
the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by
the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after such final determination; provided,

54

 

however, that, on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Indemnity
Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such claim in accordance with Section
3.02(b), and if the Indemnity Holdback Amount does not satisfy the full amount of such claim,
Seller shall pay such difference to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party.

     Section 9.06 Limitations on Indemnification.

          (a) Neither Seller, MR Holdings nor Parent shall be required to provide indemnification for
claims made solely under Section 9.02(a) unless the Indemnified Party’s Losses for all such
claim(s) shall exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in the aggregate (the
“Basket”) (at which point Seller, MR Holdings and Parent will be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party’s Losses from the first dollar; provided, however, that neither Seller, MR
Holdings nor Parent will have an obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses with
respect to individual Losses of less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) (the
“Threshold”) unless more than one Indemnified Party’s Losses, each less than the Threshold,
arises from the same or similar facts or circumstances and such Indemnified Party’s Losses
collectively exceed the Threshold, in which case, all such Indemnified Party’s Losses shall be
indemnified by Seller, MR Holdings and Parent pursuant to the terms herein. In no event shall
Seller’s, MR Holdings’ and Parent’s aggregate liability with respect to all claims of
indemnification made solely under Section 9.02(a) exceed Two Million Seven Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($2,750,000.00) in the aggregate (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Losses arising out of, resulting from
or relating to any inaccuracy in, misrepresentation of, or breach of the representations and
warranties contained in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.05,
5.07(a), 5.14(b), and 5.22 shall not be subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 9.06. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the limitations set forth herein shall not apply in the event that Seller, MR Holdings, Parent or
Principal is found to have committed fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Party shall have any right to
indemnification under this Article IX with respect to any Losses or alleged Losses if such
matter was determined as part of the proration adjustment procedures set forth in Section
3.03.

          (b) Buyer shall not be required to provide indemnification for claims made solely under
Section 9.03(b) unless the Indemnified Party’s Losses for all such claim(s) shall exceed in
the aggregate the Basket (at which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified
Party’s Losses from the first dollar; provided, however, that Buyer will not have an obligation to
indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses with respect to individual Losses of less than the
Threshold unless more than one Indemnified Party’s Losses, each less than the Threshold, arises
from the same or similar facts or circumstances and such Indemnified Party’s Losses collectively
exceed the Threshold, in which case, all such Indemnified Party’s Losses shall be indemnified by
Buyer pursuant to the terms herein. In no event shall Buyer’s aggregate liability with respect to
all claims of indemnification made solely under Section 9.03(b) exceed the Cap.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Losses arising out
of, resulting from or relating to any inaccuracy in, misrepresentation of, or breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.04 and
6.05 shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.06.
Notwithstanding anything in this

55

 

Agreement to the contrary, the limitations set forth herein shall not apply in the event that
Buyer is found to have committed fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

     Section 9.07 Reductions for Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries. The amount of
Losses that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant
to this Article IX shall be reduced by any (a) insurance proceeds or other amounts actually
recovered from third parties by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, in respect of the related
Losses, less any reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party to obtain such insurance or
other proceeds and less any increase in premiums for insurance related to such Loss and (b) Tax
benefits actually received by any Indemnified Party arising from the deductibility of any
such Losses net of any Tax costs actually suffered by such party as a result of the receipt of any
payments pursuant to this Article IX (collectively, “Recoverable Proceeds”). The
existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for monies from an insurer or against a third party in
respect of any Losses shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification
provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party.
Rather, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment in full of the amount determined to be due and
owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of the entire
claim of the Indemnified Party for the insurance proceeds or against such third party, and
thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall refund all Recoverable Proceeds to the Indemnifying Party
promptly upon receipt. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention
of the Parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (a) entitled to a benefit it would
not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (b)
relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. If an Indemnified
Party has received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of
any Losses and later receives insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Losses, then
such Indemnified Party shall hold such insurance proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit
of the Indemnifying Party and shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as practicable after
receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts received, up to the
aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in
respect of such Losses (or, if there is more than one Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall pay each Indemnifying Party, its proportionate share (based on payments received from the
Indemnifying Parties of such insurance proceeds)).

     Section 9.08 Limits on Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding any other terms in this
Agreement, except in the case of a Third Party Claim or claims for fraud or intentional
misrepresentation or knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that any
negligent breach, inadvertent breach or immaterial breach hereunder shall not deemed to be a
knowing and intentional breach for purposes of this Section 9.08. Losses shall not include
special, incidental, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages or claims for
diminution of value, including consequential damages resulting from business interruption, lost Tax
or income Tax benefits, increased insurance premiums or lost profits or other Losses based upon any
multiplier of Seller’s earnings, including earnings before interest, depreciation or amortization
or any other metric.

     Section 9.09 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided in this
Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any and all Losses
arising out of, relating to, or resulting from, any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants and

56

 

agreements contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or otherwise relating
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided,
however, that nothing herein is intended to waive or otherwise limit any claims for Losses arising
out of, relating to, or resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Seller’s obligation to sell the Purchased Assets to Buyer, shall be enforceable by a decree of
specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive

terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Earnest
Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser and shall not be credited toward the Purchase
Price.

          (b) Payment at Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price
less the outstanding balance of the Assumed Loan and plus or minus the adjustments and prorations
required by this Agreement (the “Net Purchase Price”). The Net Purchase Price shall be
paid in the form of limited partner units (the “OP Units”) in Purchaser, which OP Units
represent a limited partner interest in Purchaser with the rights and preferences

- 3 -

 

as set forth in Purchaser’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of
August 27, 2010, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Partnership
Agreement”) and which OP Units shall be paid to the beneficial interest holders in Seller (the
“Beneficial Owners”) as set forth herein. The total number of OP Units to be delivered by
Purchaser to the Beneficial Owners shall be determined by dividing the Net Purchase Price by nine
(9), and rounding up such number such that each Beneficial Owner shall receive a whole number of OP
Units. Seller shall notify Purchaser and certify to Purchaser as true and correct the percentage
ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner at or before Closing.

          (c) Notwithstanding that the Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser at Closing and that the
Purchaser shall be irrevocably committed, as of Closing, to issue the OP Units in the amount
described in Section 3(b) above, the Purchase Price shall be paid to the respective
Beneficial Owners by issuance of the OP Units, on a rolling basis, if necessary, only upon
Purchaser’s receipt from Seller, on behalf of that particular Beneficial Owner, of the following:
(i) a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement executed by such Beneficial Owner,
(ii) an affidavit from such Beneficial Owner in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-1,
(iii) if such Beneficial Owner desires to enter into the Tax Protection Agreement, a counterpart
signature page to the Tax Protection Agreement executed by such Beneficial Owner in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H, (iv) an IRS Form W-9, (v) a limited power of attorney in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit N, and (vi) any other information or documents that may be
required by Article IX of the Partnership Agreement, provided, however, that any distributions that
otherwise would be payable to such Beneficial Owners during the period between the Closing and the
delivery of such documents and information shall be held by the Purchaser for the benefit of such
Beneficial Owners and be released to them simultaneously with

- 4 -

 

the issuance of OP Units to such Beneficial Owners. In the event that any particular
Beneficial Owner fails to deliver any of the foregoing documents within sixty (60) days following
the Closing, such Beneficial Owner shall become an economic interest holder in Purchaser, as
described in Section 9.01(c) of Purchaser’s Partnership Agreement, and the distributions held on
the Beneficial Owner’s behalf shall be distributed to such Beneficial Owner (subject in all events
to any applicable withholding taxes, including, but not limited to, FIRPTA withholding and federal
income tax backup withholding). Additionally, Seller shall request from each Beneficial Owner (and
Seller shall use diligent efforts to obtain from each Beneficial Owner and deliver to Purchaser) an
executed certification as to such Beneficial Owner’s tax basis in its interest in the Seller in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit G (which tax basis shall be as of the end of the tax year
reflected in the final income tax returns most recently filed by such Beneficial Owner with the
applicable taxing authorities). If any Beneficial Owner does not execute and deliver the
certification of tax basis in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G within sixty (60) days
following the Closing (but not later than the end of the calendar year of Closing), then such
Beneficial Owner shall be assumed to have no income tax basis in their beneficial interest in
Seller, and Purchaser will elect to use the “remedial method” of making Internal Revenue Code
Section 704(c) allocations as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) with respect to
the beneficial interest in Seller.

          (d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall assign to Purchaser
and Purchaser shall assume from Seller, the Assumed Loan.

     4. TITLE

          (a) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order, at
Purchaser’s expense, from Chicago Title Insurance Company (in such capacity, “Title
Insurer”), whose address is 5501 LBJ Freeway, Suite 200, Dallas, Texas 75240, Attention:

- 5 -

 

Debbie Moore, an owner’s title commitment on the Real Property and a commitment to endorse the
existing mortgagee policy for the Assumed Loan from the title insurance company that issued such
mortgagee policy (collectively, the “Commitment”), together with legible copies of all
documents relating to the title exceptions referred to in the Commitment.

          (b) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order, at
Purchaser’s own expense, an updated survey of the Real Property sufficient to enable Title Insurer
to issue an ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Survey”), showing lot lines and
monuments, building lines, easements both burdening and benefiting the Real Property, utilities,
including water and sewer lines to the point of connection with the public system, the Improvements
(including parking spaces), encroachments, if any, on the Real Property or over adjoining
properties, and other matters located on or affecting the Real Property, together with a
certificate as to whether the Real Property lies within a flood zone as determined by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Survey shall be certified as true and correct by
the surveyor for the benefit of Purchaser, the Purchaser’s lender and Title Insurer.

          (c) If the Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions to title objectionable to Purchaser, in
its sole discretion, as to the Property (except for the first mortgage lien encumbering the
Property and securing the loan from Deutsche Bank Berkshire Mortgage, Inc., d/b/a DB Berkshire
Mortgage, Inc. in the original principal sum of $15,275,000.00, of which $15,275,000.00 is
outstanding as of the Effective Date, which loan shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing (the
“Assumed Loan”)) Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the Title Commitment and the Survey to
Seller and shall so notify Seller within ten (10) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of
the latest to be received of the Commitment and the Survey (the “Title Objection Date”),
and Seller shall have ten (10) business days from the date of such

- 6 -

 

notice to have each such unpermitted exceptions to title removed, or to have the Title Insurer
commit to insure over such unpermitted exception, or to correct each such other matter. If within
such ten (10) business day period, Seller fails to have each such unpermitted exception removed,
insured over or corrected as aforesaid, Purchaser may elect within three (3) business days after
such ten (10) business day period, as its sole and exclusive remedy in such event, to either (i)
terminate this Agreement and immediately receive from Seller the Earnest Money Note, whereupon this
Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect (except for any obligations
which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), or (ii) elect to accept title to such
Property subject to such objectionable exception (with a right to deduct from the Purchase Price
any liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount up to an aggregate of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) whereupon such exception(s) which had been objected
to shall be deemed approved and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances. If Purchaser fails to
make either such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii). Any matters
disclosed by the Commitment or the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser on or before the Title
Objection Date (other than those relating to the Assumed Loan) shall be deemed approved by
Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances. If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall
deliver to the Title Company an affidavit required by the Title Company for an amendment to the
rights of parties in possession exception to “rights of apartment tenants in possession, as
apartment tenants only, pursuant to written but unrecorded rental or lease agreements”.

the applicable Beneficial Owners who have executed and delivered to Purchaser the documents
required by Section 3(c) hereof, such newly issued OP Units will be validly issued by
Purchaser and will be free and clear of liens and encumbrances (but shall be subject to the

          (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, including, without limitation, any

of the Earnest Money Note or any portion thereof, Purchaser’s obligations

- 18 -

 

under this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
and shall survive Closing.

          (d) Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights of inspection or
examination of the Property except as set forth herein, provided, however, that in no event shall
any discoveries or findings made during such inspections or examinations entitle Purchaser to

hereto that, except as expressly set forth herein, Purchaser has no due diligence period under this
Agreement.

          (e) Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of those Contracts Purchaser desires Seller to

          (g) Without limiting the above, except with respect to a breach by Seller of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof or Seller’s obligations
hereunder, or Seller’s fraud, Purchaser on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns waives
its right to recover from, and forever releases and discharges, Seller, Seller’s affiliates,

liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the physical
condition of the Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including, without
limitation, the Environmental Laws.

          (h) The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.

     8. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

          (a) The following shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the
purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein (“Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent”):

          (i) Prior to the expiration of the period commencing on the Effective Date and
continuing for ninety (90) days thereafter (as such initial 90-day period may be extended by
Purchaser as provided below, the “Lender’s Approval Period”), Purchaser shall have
obtained, on terms acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, approval from the Assumed
Loan Lender for the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser, the assignment of the
Assumed Loan by Seller and the release of Seller or any guarantor of the Assumed Loan
affiliated with Seller from their respective obligations under the Assumed Loan Documents
from and after the Closing, and shall have delivered reasonably satisfactory written
evidence of the same to Seller (the “Assumption Approval”). The “Assumption
Approval” shall be deemed to include (1) the satisfactory completion by the Assumed Loan
Lender of all diligence investigations, inspections and tests, and (2) the full negotiation
and final approval of the Loan Assumption Documents (as defined below) by Purchaser, Seller
and the Assumed Loan Lender. Purchaser shall have the one-time right to extend the initial
90-day Lender’s Approval Period for an additional period of up to ninety (90) days, provided
that (A) Purchaser delivers written notice to Seller of its election to so extend the
initial 90-day Lender’s Approval Period five (5) business days prior to the expiration of
the initial 90-day Lender’s Approval Period (the “Extension Notice”), (B)
simultaneously with Purchaser’s delivery of the Extension Notice, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller an additional Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and in
the face amount of one percent (1%) of the

- 21 -

 

Purchase Price, or One Hundred Ninety Eight Thousand Six Hundred Twenty and No/100
Dollars ($198,620.00) (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute
and be a part of the “Earnest Money Note” and shall be held by Seller pursuant to
the terms of Section 3 above), and (C) Assumed Loan Lender shall not have refused to
grant the Assumption Approval at any time prior to Purchaser’s delivery of the Extension
Notice. Seller agrees to cooperate with and to take all reasonable action to facilitate
Purchaser’s receipt of the Assumption Approval, however, Purchaser shall be solely
responsible to pay to Assumed Loan Lender any and all costs, fees and expenses required in
connection with the Assumed Loan assignment, assumption and release (other than Seller’s
legal fees to review the Loan Assumption Documents). Purchaser and Seller shall execute and
deliver at Closing, a loan assumption agreement and any other documents required in
connection with the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Loan and the release of Seller
and any guarantor affiliated with Seller on the terms reflected in the Assumption Approval,
in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller (the “Loan
Assumption Documents”). In the event that Seller or Purchaser fails to execute and
deliver the Loan Assumption Documents or the Assumed Loan Lender fails to approve the
assignment, assumption and release as aforesaid, either Seller or Purchaser shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than those obligations that expressly survive
termination) and Seller shall return the Earnest Money Note to Purchaser. Purchaser shall
apply to Assumed Loan Lender for Assumption Approval within sixty (60) days after the
Effective Date (the “Assumption Commencement”) and use good faith and diligent
efforts to obtain such consent from

- 22 -

 

the Assumed Loan Lender prior to the expiration of the Lender’s Approval Period;
provided, however, so long as Purchaser complies with its obligations under this Section
8(a), in no event shall Purchaser have any liability for its failure to achieve such
consent.

          (ii) Prior to the expiration of the Lender’s Approval Period, the OP Units to be issued
to the Beneficial Owners pursuant to this Agreement, together with the OP Units to be issued
by Purchaser to the beneficial interest holders of the seven other Delaware statutory trusts
known as Mission Barton Creek, DST, Mission Battleground Park, DST, Mission Briley Parkway,
DST, Mission Capital Crossing, DST, Mission Mayflower Downs, DST, Mission Preston Wood, DST,
and Mission Brentwood, DST (collectively, the “Other DSTs”) in accordance with the
seven purchase and sale agreements of contemporaneous date herewith between Purchaser and
the Other DSTs shall have been duly registered (collectively, the “Registrations”)
pursuant to an effective registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) and in each state or provincial jurisdiction where registration
is required in accordance with all applicable federal, state and provincial laws, rules and
regulations (each, a “Registration Statement” and collectively, the
“Registration Statements”). Purchaser agrees to use good faith and diligent efforts
to prepare and file the Registration Statements and to cause the Registration Statements to
be declared effective in each jurisdiction where required, and shall commence the process of
obtaining the Registrations within the Assumption Commencement. Seller agrees to provide
Purchaser and its auditor with reasonable assistance and cooperation, at no cost or expense
to Seller, in preparing the Registration Statements, including, without limitation, by
providing

- 23 -

 

Seller with access to any audited and unaudited financial statements previously
prepared by
Seller and its auditors, bank statements, general ledgers, accountant’s work papers,
property records, and such other books and records as Purchaser may reasonably request, and
by providing an assurance or representation letter on Purchaser’s auditor’s form and a
response to the Audit Inquiry Letter (as defined below) from Seller’s counsel on such
counsel’s standard form of response to an audit inquiry letter, all in order to prepare such
Registration Statements (provided that in no event shall Seller or any affiliate of Seller
have any liability to Purchaser or its auditor for the assurances or representations made
therein). In the event that the Purchaser’s Condition Precedent contained in this
Section 8(a)(ii) is not satisfied prior to the expiration of the Lender’s Approval
Period, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon all rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than those
obligations that expressly survive termination) and Seller shall return the Earnest Money
Note to Purchaser. In the event that (a) the OP Units are duly registered pursuant to a
Registration Statement that has been declared effective by the SEC and by each other
jurisdiction where each of the Beneficial Owners reside, but the Registration Statement is
not yet effective in certain other jurisdictions where each of the beneficial owners of the
Other DSTs reside, and (b) Purchaser has received comments and feedback on the Registration
Statements from each jurisdiction such that Purchaser reasonably determines that material
changes will be required to the disclosure statement contained in the Registration Statement
before it will become effective in those remaining jurisdictions in accordance with the
laws, rules and regulations of each such jurisdiction, then Purchaser may elect to defer
Closing on the Property under this Agreement until such time as the

- 24 -

 

Registration Statements
become effective in such other jurisdictions or the Purchaser
believes no further material changes will be required to the disclosure statement
contained in the Registration Statements. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Purchaser
intend to proceed to Closing as soon as reasonably practicable, and Purchaser will only
defer Closing to the extent it has a reasonable belief that material changes to the
disclosure statement contained in the Registration Statements will be required. Purchaser
will provide regular status updates to Seller with respect the effectiveness of the
Registration Statements in each jurisdiction, and, to the extent Purchaser believes a
material change to the disclosure statement contained in the Registration Statements will be
required, Purchaser will share any correspondence received from any jurisdiction on the
issue and will discuss the issue with Seller and explain the basis of Purchaser’s belief
that such a material change will be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller
understands and acknowledges that any determination regarding the materiality of any change
in or issue relating to the Registration Statement shall be made by Purchaser.

          (iii) Immediately following the time that the Registration Statement filed with the SEC
and each applicable state or other jurisdiction is declared effective, Seller shall have
confirmed to Purchaser its acceptance of the Net Purchase Price in the form OP Units, which
acceptance shall be in Seller’s sole discretion.

          (iv) Title shall have been approved by Purchaser under Section 4 with Title
Insurer standing ready to issue an owner’s policy of title insurance (and an endorsement to
the existing mortgagee’s title insurance policy in the form required by the Assumed Loan
Lender) in the form customarily delivered in the State insuring Purchaser’s interest in the
Real Property, dated the day of the Closing, with liability in

- 25 -

 

the amount of the Purchase
Price, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and the
encumbrances related to the Assumed Loan, together with such endorsements as Purchaser
reasonably may require and as are available in the State in which the Real Property is
located (the “Title Policy”).

          (v) Seller shall have executed and delivered to Purchaser a certificate (the
“Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M updating the
representations and warranties of Seller through Closing, which Certificate Seller covenants
to deliver unless material new matters or knowledge of a material defect arises, in which
case Seller shall deliver a Certificate stating such matter. Purchaser may then (i) waive
such matter and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby or (ii) terminate this
Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities
hereunder and any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same and the
Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser.

          (vi) There shall be no Hazardous Materials at the Property that were not shown in the
Phase I or Phase II (if applicable).

          In the event that any Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent is not satisfied, Purchaser shall give
written notice thereof to the Seller, and unless Purchaser waives such Purchaser’s Conditions
Precedent, this Agreement shall terminate and both Seller and Purchaser shall thereafter be
relieved from any and all liability under this Agreement except for the indemnification and hold
harmless provisions contained in Section 7, and the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to
Purchaser.

          (b) As a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations to consummate the purchase and sale
transaction contemplated herein (“Seller’s Conditions Precedent”),

- 26 -

 

(i) Purchaser shall have
duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant and
agreement to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) Purchaser’s
representations, warranties and covenants shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
the Closing Date, (iii) Assumed Loan Lender shall have granted the Assumption Approval pursuant to
the terms of Section 8(a)(i) above, and (iv) Purchaser shall have obtained the
Registrations pursuant to the terms of Section 8(a)(ii) above. In the event that any
Seller’s Conditions Precedent are not satisfied, Seller shall give written notice thereof to the
Purchaser, and unless Seller waives such Seller’s Conditions Precedent, this Agreement shall
terminate and both Purchaser and Seller shall thereafter be relieved from any and all liability
under this Agreement except for the indemnification and hold harmless provisions contained in
Section 7.

     9. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF SELLER

          Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser, as follows:

          (a) Seller shall not enter into any Contract with respect to the Property which will survive
the Closing or will otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Property after the
Closing, unless Seller first shall have obtained Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser has not notified Seller within five
(5) business days of receipt of a request for approval of its decision, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have approved the matter.

          (b) The Existing Insurance Policies, or equivalent coverage, shall remain continuously in
force through the day of the Closing.

          (c) At all times prior to the Closing, Seller shall (i) operate and manage the Property in
substantially the same manner it presently operates and manages the Property (provided, however,
that Seller shall not be required to make any capital repairs to the Property or any component
thereof) and Seller, shall not make any withdrawals from any capital reserve

- 27 -

 

accounts in amounts in
excess of $10,000.00 without providing written notice to Purchaser, (ii)
maintain all material present services, (iii) maintain the Property in good repair and working
order, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and (iv) perform when due all of Seller’s material
obligations under the Leases, the instruments securing any mortgage lien on the Property,
Contracts, Governmental Approvals and other agreements relating to the Property and otherwise in
accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Property. Prior
to and as of the Closing, Seller shall cause all vacant units to be made rent-ready and available
for occupancy based on standards and methods used by Seller prior to execution of this Agreement
and shall cause all appliances in all vacant units to be clean and in working order (the
“Appliance Standards”). Purchaser shall receive a credit of One Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($1,000.00) for each unit that became vacant on a date that is five (5) or more days prior
to Closing and that is not rent-ready (as reasonably determined by Purchaser based on standards
customary in the industry) and available for occupancy as of the day of Closing, provided that such
$1,000.00 shall not include any costs to cause the appliances to meet the Appliance Standards.
After full execution of this Agreement and until the Closing, Seller shall maintain all existing
personnel on the Property in their current employment positions at their current rates of
compensation. In the event of the Closing of the purchase of the Property, Purchaser shall not
retain the existing employees and management agents of Seller for the Property, and, accordingly,
on the Closing, Seller shall (i) cause all employment and management agreements respecting the
Property to be terminated, and deliver evidence of such termination to Purchaser, and (iii) remove
all employees and management personnel from the Property. Except for the obligation of Seller to
use its reasonable efforts to fully enforce the material obligations of Tenants under the Leases,
nothing contained in this Section 9(c) shall be deemed or construed as

- 28 -

 

imposing any
obligations of such Tenants onto Seller. Seller shall terminate, as of the day of the
Closing, those of the Contracts designated in writing by Purchaser (no less than forty-five
(45) days prior to Closing) which may by their terms be so terminated. None of the Personal
Property shall be removed from the Real Property, unless replaced by Personal Property of equal or
greater utility and value unless such Personal Property has no value or use at the Property.

          (d) Seller shall pay or contest the same (with notice to Purchaser of any such contests) in
full, prior to the Closing, all bills and invoices for labor, goods, utility charges, material and
services of any kind relating to the Property.

          (e) Seller agrees to pay any brokerage or leasing fee or similar commission or other
compensation with respect to the Leases, if any (“Leasing Commissions”), which is or will
become due and payable prior to the Closing, except for lease renewals, or exercises of expansion
options, entered into after the date of this Agreement which shall be Purchaser’s obligation if the
Closing occurs. The amount of such fees or commissions due on an absolute basis prior to Closing
will be credited against the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing; provided, however,
that all such fees or commissions or other compensation due or payable after the Closing on an
absolute or contingent basis (including fees or commissions or other compensation with respect to
renewals, but only to the extent disclosed on Exhibit I) shall become obligations of
Purchaser after the Closing.

          (f) After the date hereof and prior to the Closing, (i) Seller shall not enter into any new
leases with respect to the Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent unless such new
leases are on Seller’s standard form residential lease, the rent and landlord concessions and
incentives are consistent with Seller’s current practices, and the leases are otherwise entered
into in the ordinary course of Seller’s business of leasing and operating the Property, (ii) except
for

- 29 -

 

leases described above, no part of the Property, or any interest therein, shall be alienated,
liened,
encumbered or otherwise transferred, and (iii) Seller shall make all payments of principal and
interest required under any mortgages encumbering the Property due prior to the Closing.

          (g) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any change in any condition with respect to the
Real Property or of any event or circumstance which makes any representation or warranty of Seller
to Purchaser under this Agreement materially untrue or misleading, or any covenant of Seller under
this Agreement incapable or less likely of being performed.

          (h) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on a monthly basis until Closing updated operating
statements and Rent Rolls.

          (i) Seller shall not apply any tenant’s security deposit unless the tenant is out of its
premises as of Closing.

          (j) Seller shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty affecting the
Property.

          (k) Seller shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any violation issued in writing and received
by Seller by any governmental authorities with respect to the Property.

     10. SELLER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS

          At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the following, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser:

          (a) A special warranty deed executed by Seller (the “Deed”), in a form customary for
the jurisdiction where the Property is located and otherwise satisfactory to Seller, Purchaser and

Assumed Loan.

damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising in connection with the
Assigned Contracts and related to the period prior to the Closing and a comparable indemnity from
Purchaser relating to the period following the Closing, (ii) any and all guarantees and warranties
used or made in connection with the operation, construction, improvement, alteration or repair of

Intangible Personal Property (including the Governmental Approvals to the extent assignable).

          (d) An assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases (the “Lease Assignment”) in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit Q executed by Seller, to Purchaser, together with an

Agreement and the documents delivered by Seller pursuant hereto.

          (i) A Rent Roll, prepared not more than one (1) business day prior to Closing, certified by

          (j) An affidavit from Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L certifying that

with the assumption of the Assumed Loan by Purchaser (including, the Loan Assumption

obligations under the Assumed Loan from and after the Closing and the transfer from Seller to
Purchaser of any and all escrow or reserve accounts related to the Property (whether held by Seller
or the Assumed Loan Lender) and security deposits related to the Leases.

     11. PURCHASER’S CLOSING DOCUMENTS

          At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller:

     12. PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

          The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the day of the
Closing, except as otherwise specified:

          (a) Collected Rents and other charges, other than for Tenants who owe Delinquent Rents (as
hereinafter defined), shall be prorated by credit to Purchaser. Prepaid rents and other charges
shall be credited to Purchaser. The rent and all other sums which are due and payable to Seller by
any tenant but uncollected as of the Closing shall not be adjusted, but Purchaser shall cause the
rent and other sums for the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Seller if, as, and when
collected (but Purchaser shall not be required to take legal action for such amounts accruing prior
to the Closing). At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all rent, charges and
other amounts payable by tenants after the Closing with respect to which Seller is entitled to
receive a share under this Agreement, and any amount due and owing to Seller before the Closing by
tenants under the Leases which are unpaid on the date of Closing (such amounts are collectively
referred to herein as the “Delinquent Amounts”). Rental and other payments received by
Purchaser from tenants shall first be applied toward Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of collection, and then toward the payment of current rent
and other charges owed to Purchaser for periods after the Closing, and any excess monies received
shall be applied toward the payment of Delinquent Amounts; provided, however, that any rent
received by Purchaser from tenants who owe Delinquent Amounts during the month in which the Closing
occurs shall first be applied to the payment of such tenants’ Delinquent Amounts, if any, with
respect to the month in which the Closing occurs, and not toward the payment of rent and other
charges for previous or subsequent months.

- 34 -

 

Purchaser may not waive any Delinquent Amounts or
modify a Lease so as to reduce amounts or charges owed under Leases for any period in which Seller
is entitled to receive a share of charges
or amounts, without first obtaining the written consent of Seller. If a Delinquent Amount due
Seller is not paid by a tenant within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after Closing or (y) sixty
(60) days after billing therefor, Seller shall have the right to attempt to effect collection by
litigation or otherwise so long as Seller does not take any action which would affect such tenant’s
right to occupy its leased premises or terminate its lease. With respect to Delinquent Amounts
owed by tenants that are no longer tenants of the Property as of the date of Closing, Seller shall
retain all rights relating thereto.

          (b) The amount of all security and other Tenant deposits and interest due thereon, if any,
shall be transferred to Purchaser. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation, if any, to
pay security and other deposits to tenants under the Leases, to the extent that such deposits are
transferred to Purchaser at Closing. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless for the
amounts, if material, by which (i) the amount of security and other deposits (together with
interest due thereon as may be required by law or by the Lease), required to be held under the
terms of the Leases exceeds (ii) the amount actually transferred to Purchaser at Closing.

          (c) To the extent not covered by any tax escrows to be assigned to Purchaser at Closing
pursuant to Section 12(g) below, accrued general real estate, personal property and ad
valorem taxes and assessments for the current tax year shall be prorated on the basis of bills, if
available prior to the Closing, which shall be re-prorated after Closing on the basis of actual
bills received covering the period which includes the Closing Date.

- 35 -

 

          (d) Fuel, water and sewer service charges, and charges for gas, electricity, telephone and all
other utility and fuel charges, as well as all deposits to utility companies, governmental entities
or any other person shall be prorated ratably on the basis of the last
ascertainable bills (and reprorated upon receipt of the actual bills or invoices) to the
extent not paid directly by tenants under their respective Leases unless final meter readings and
final invoices can be obtained. To the extent practicable, Seller shall cause meters for utilities
to be read not more than one (1) day prior to the date of Closing.

          (e) Amounts due, commissions, up-front revenues and incentives, and prepayments under the
Contracts to be assigned to Purchaser. All amounts for services rendered or materials furnished
under the Contracts assumed by Purchaser and accruing after the Closing Date shall be the
responsibility of Purchaser.

          (f) Assignable license and permit fees paid on an annual or other periodic basis.

          (g) All escrow and reserve accounts (including without limitation, all capital improvement
reserves and taxes and insurance escrows) held by Assumed Loan Lender in connection with the
Assumed Loan and those held by Seller, if any, shall be assigned to Purchaser but there will be no
adjustment to the Purchase Price or proration thereof.

          (h) Such other items that are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature (including,
without limitation, any utilities paid by Seller under the Leases) shall be prorated; provided,
however, that any insurance premiums shall not be prorated, but rather Seller shall cancel the
Existing Insurance Policies as of Closing (and seek a separate refund from its insurer of any
unearned premiums) and thereafter Purchaser shall obtain its own property insurance in conformance
with the Assumed Loan Documents.

- 36 -

 

          Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the Property and, therefore, entitled to the
income from the Property and responsible for the expenses of the Property for the entire day upon
which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual
number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Closing. To the
extent information necessary to make such prorations is not available at the Closing or is
determined to be inaccurate or incomplete after Closing, the amount of such prorations shall be
subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing as and when complete and accurate information
becomes available. All prorations shall otherwise be final. Seller and Purchaser agree to
cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after
the Closing as to all items except tax prorations, subject to mutual agreement to extend such sixty
(60) day period, and with respect to tax prorations, to the extent not covered by any tax escrows
to be assigned to Purchaser at Closing pursuant to Section 12(g) above, the parties shall
make such adjustments upon receipt of the actual tax bills covering the period in which the Closing
Date occurs. Except as set forth in this Section 12, all items of income and expense for
the period prior to the Closing Date will be for the account of Seller, and all items of income and
expense for the period on and after the Closing Date will be for the account of Purchaser, all as
determined by the accrual method of accounting. Bills received after the Closing Date which relate
to expenses incurred, services performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the
Closing Date shall be paid by Seller.

          (i) Amounts on deposit with utility companies shall be credited to Seller at Closing, and
promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall inform such utilities of such change in ownership
of the Property. Seller shall, from and after the Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, have
control over any ongoing tax appeals as to the Property that were

- 37 -

 

commenced prior to the Closing
and that pertain solely to the periods that Seller owned the Property. Seller shall, as
applicable, retain all proceeds or reductions obtained from such appeals
or pay all additional taxes or delinquencies imposed for such periods. Seller shall keep
Purchaser informed as to any such appeals.

     13. CLOSING

          The “Closing” of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (that is, the payment
of the Purchase Price by issuing or becoming irrevocably committed to issue, as applicable, the OP
Units, the return to Purchaser of the Earnest Money Note, the transfer of title to the Property,
and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions of this Agreement) shall occur in escrow by
each party delivering their respective documents and funds to the Title Insurer with closing
instructions consistent with this Agreement, or if deemed to be necessary, at 10:00 a.m. local time
at the offices of the Title Insurer (or at such other location as agreed upon by the parties) on
the date that is five (5) business days after the satisfaction of all Purchaser’s Conditions
Precedent and Seller’s Conditions Precedent. The “Closing Date” shall be the date of
Closing. Within ninety (90) days following Closing, Purchaser shall re-name the Property so as to

Mission Residential Management, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, MR Holdings, LLC, a
Virginia limited liability company, Forward Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and
Christopher C. Finlay, an individual resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia, all affiliates of
Seller, shall have closed under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the Effective
Date. Purchaser may continue to use the name “Mission” or any derivation thereof with respect to
the Property during such 90-day period, and if requested by

- 38 -

 

Purchaser, Seller agrees to grant a
license to Purchaser, at not cost to Purchaser, to use the name “Mission” or any derivation thereof
with respect to the Property during such 90-day period.

     14. CLOSING COSTS

          Purchaser shall pay the cost of the Title Policy and its lender’s title policy and/or
endorsement, the Survey, all transfer and recordation taxes and fees, all of the Title Insurer’s
closing fees (including those for a “New York Style” closing) and recording fees. Seller shall be
responsible for all accrued taxes of Seller prior to Closing and income taxes and other such taxes
of Seller attributable to the sale of the Property to Purchaser. Purchaser shall be solely
responsible for all costs associated with assuming the Assumed Loan, including, without limitation,
paying all assumption and review fees, costs and expenses, if any. Each party shall bear the

     15. LOSS BY FIRE, OTHER CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION

          (a) In the event that prior to the Closing, the Improvements, or any part thereof, are
destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in Section 15(e)), Purchaser shall have the
right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) business days after receiving
written notice of such damage or destruction, either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any indemnification
obligations of Purchaser, any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same and the
Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to accept the Improvements in their then
condition and to proceed with the Closing with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in
the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance

- 39 -

 

coverage, and to receive an assignment of
all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction.
If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above,
Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds without Purchaser’s
prior written consent.

          (b) In the event that prior to the Closing there is any non-material damage to the
Improvements, or any part thereof, Seller shall repair or replace such damage prior to the Closing.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event Seller is unwilling or unable to repair or
replace such damage, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact (“Seller’s Notice”) and
Purchaser thereafter shall have the right, exercisable by giving Seller notice within fifteen (15)
business days after receiving Seller’s Notice either (i) to terminate this Agreement, in which case
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any indemnification
obligations of Purchaser, any documents shall be returned to the party depositing the same and the
Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to accept the Improvements in their then
condition with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for
the applicable insurance coverage and proceed with the Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be
entitled to an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to insurance proceeds payable by reason of such
non-material damage. For purposes of contemplating any repairs or replacements under this
Section 15(b), the Closing may be extended for a reasonable time to allow such repairs or
replacements to be made by Seller.

          (c) In the event that prior to the Closing, all or any material portion (as defined in
Section 15(e)) of the Land and Improvements are subject to a taking by public authority,
Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) business
days after receiving written notice of such taking, either (i) to terminate this Agreement,

- 40 -

 

in
which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except any
indemnification obligations of Purchaser, any documents shall be returned to the party depositing
the same and the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) to accept the Land
and Improvements in their then condition, without a reduction in the Purchase Price, and to receive
an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any condemnation award payable by reason of such taking.
If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or
adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s prior written consent.

          (d) In the event that prior to the Closing, any non-material portion of the Land or
Improvements is subject to a taking, Purchaser shall accept the Property in its then condition and
proceed with the Closing, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to an assignment of all of
Seller’s rights to any award in connection with such taking. In the event of any such non-material
taking, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s
prior written consent.

          (e) For the purpose of this Section 15, damage to the Improvements or a taking of a
portion thereof shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if the reasonably estimated
cost of restoration or repair of such damage or the amount of the condemnation award with respect
of such taking shall exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), or if the number
of parking spaces is reduced or if the entrances and entrance signs are relocated.

          (f) Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any taking, damage or destruction of the
Land or Improvements.

          (g) The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing.

- 41 -

 

     16. DEFAULT

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if after Seller
materially breaches a representation or warranty of Seller hereunder or defaults under the terms of
this Agreement, at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may elect as its sole remedy (i) to
terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Note shall be returned to Purchaser and
neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those that
expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, and in the event such material breach is also
intentional, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) up to the Cap, or (ii) Purchaser may sue Seller for
specific performance of the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Purchaser
defaults under the terms of this Agreement, the Earnest Money Note shall become due and payable to
Seller as liquidated damages, which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity
against Purchaser, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement
except those that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser
acknowledge and agree that (1) the Earnest Money Note is a reasonable estimate of and bears a
reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a
result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a
default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (2) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred by
Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Purchaser under this
Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (3) Purchaser seeks to limit
its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money Note in the event this
Agreement is terminated and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not

- 42 -

 

close due to a
default of Purchaser under this Agreement; and (4) the Earnest Money Note shall be and constitute
valid liquidated damages and not a penalty.

     17. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

     18. BROKERS

          (a) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is liable for, and agrees to pay at Closing, a
brokerage commission to FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) pursuant to the terms of that
certain agreement entered into by FBR and an affiliate of Seller on January 29, 2010, as amended by
that certain first amendment to engagement letter dated August 21, 2010. Seller represents and
warrants to Purchaser that no other brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other compensation is
due or payable by reason of the actions of Seller with respect to the transaction contemplated
hereby. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser by reason of any
breach or inaccuracy of the representation and warranty contained in this Section 18(a).

          (b) Except as provided above, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has
not entered into any agreement or incurred any obligation which might result in the obligation to
pay any brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other compensation with respect to the transaction
contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any
losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller by reason of any
breach or inaccuracy of the representation and warranty contained in this Section 18(b).

          (c) The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the Closing.

- 43 -

matters contained in this Agreement. Any waiver, modification, consent or acquiescence with
respect to any provision of this Agreement shall be set forth in writing and duly executed by or in
behalf of the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any party of any breach hereunder shall be
deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

          (c) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The signature page of any counterpart may be detached therefrom without impairing the
legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other

provided in this Section. Any such communication, notice or demand shall be deemed to have been
duly given or served on the date personally served, if by personal service, or on the date shown on
the return receipt or other evidence of delivery, if mailed or sent by overnight delivery.

          (e) The parties agree to execute such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

          (f) The making, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto has been
induced by no representations, statements, warranties or agreements other than those expressly set
forth herein.

          (g) Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner
as to be valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
prohibited thereunder, such invalidity or prohibition shall be construed as if such invalid or
prohibited provision had not been inserted herein and shall not affect the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

          (h) The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply
according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Section
headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not govern the
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

          (i) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State.

- 45 -

 

          (j) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties
hereto and to their respective transferees, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that
neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of Seller hereunder shall be
transferred or assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser except in
connection with like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that
no such assignment shall relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder. Purchaser shall have the
right to assign all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement without the prior written

Purchaser, to an entity managed or controlled by Purchaser or to an affiliate of Purchaser,
provided that no such assignments shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

          (k) All Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference.

          (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not be
deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint venturers, or to render either
party liable for any of the debts or obligations of the other, it being the intention of the
parties to merely create the relationship of seller and purchaser with respect to the Property to
be conveyed as contemplated hereby.

          (m) This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the public land or other public records
of any jurisdiction by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a
breach of this Agreement.

          (n) During the period from the date of execution of this Agreement until the Closing or this
Agreement is terminated, Seller agrees not to market the Property for sale, accept any offer for
purchase, offer the Property for joint venture, apply for any financing, divulge to any potential
purchaser or joint venturer or lender any written material with respect to the

- 46 -

 

Property nor divulge
nor communicate in any way to any potential purchaser or joint venturer or lender with respect to
the Property, any information with respect to the Property.

     (o) Unless provided to the contrary in any particular provision, all time periods shall refer
to calendar days and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last of such days; provided,
however, that if the time for the performance of any obligation expires on a day which is not a
“business day” (which term shall mean a Saturday, Sunday and days on which banks in the
state where the Property is located are closed), the time for performance shall be extended to the
next business day.

          (p) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is a subsidiary of Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc.
(“Parent”), a publicly registered company that is required to disclose the existence of
this Agreement upon full execution and to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC Filings”) that relate to the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year
(the “Audited Year”) and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition (the
“Stub Period”) for the Property. To assist Parent in preparing the SEC Filings, Sellers
agree to (a) deliver an audit inquiry letter regarding pending litigation and other matters in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit S (the “Audit Inquiry Letter”) to Sellers’ counsel
prior to Closing, and (b) provide Parent with the following within thirty (30) days after the
Closing: (i) access to bank statements for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (ii) Rent Roll as of
the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period, (iii) operating statements for the Audited Year and
Stub Period (iv) access to the general ledger for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (v) cash
receipts schedule for each month in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (vi) access to invoices for
expenses and capital improvements in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (vii) accounts payable
ledger and accrued expense reconciliations in the Audited Year and Stub Period, (viii) check
register for the three

- 47 -

 

(3) months following the Audited Year and Stub Period, (ix) copies of all
insurance documentation for the Audited Year and Stub Period, (x) copies of accounts receivable
aging as
of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period along with an explanation for all accounts over
thirty (30) days past due as of the end of the Audited Year and Stub Period, (xi) an executed
assurance or representation letter from Seller to Parent’s auditor on such auditor’s form (provided
that in no event shall Seller have any liability to Purchaser, Parent or such auditor for the
assurances or representations made therein, but Seller shall reasonably cooperate, at no cost or
expense to Seller, in connection with such audit, including, if required by Parent’s auditor,
answering a standard SAS 99 questionnaire from such auditor), and (xii) an executed letter from
Seller’s counsel in response to the Audit Inquiry Letter on such counsel’s standard form of
response to an audit inquiry letter. The provisions of the foregoing two (2) sentences shall
survive the Closing for a period of 180 days.

          (q) In the event of a default by either party of its obligations under this Agreement, the
prevailing party in any action or proceeding in any court in connection therewith (including any
action for specific performance) shall be entitled to recover from such other party its costs and
expenses, including reasonable legal fees and associated court costs.

          (r) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate any of the parties hereto, to
any person or entity other than the parties hereto.

          (s) The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a
waiver of any future breach of any such provision or any other provision hereof.
