          (a)  Organization and Power. MXT is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and has full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement, and to assume and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by MXT, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of MXT, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

          (c) No Litigation. To MXT’s knowledge, except for Actions covered by existing policies of insurance, there are no Actions pending or threatened, affecting all or any portion of the MXT Interests or the Student Housing Entities or MXT’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or that would have a Material Adverse Effect. MXT has no knowledge of any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, Governmental Entity or arbitration against or affecting all or any portion of the MXT Interests or any Student Housing Entity which in any such case would impair MXT’s ability to enter into and perform all of its obligations under the Agreement or would have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (d) No Consents. Except as shall have been cured, consented to or waived in writing by the Company prior to the Closing or except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(d) attached hereto, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Company Entities of (A) the organizational documents, including the charters and bylaws, if any, of MXT or the Student Housing Entities, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which MXT is a party or by which MXT or any of the Student Housing Entities are bound or (C) to MXT’s knowledge, any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or governmental or regulatory authority or foreign, federal, state, local or other law binding on MXT or the Student Housing Entities or by which MXT, the Student Housing Entities or any of their assets or properties are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the MXT Interests or any Student Housing Entity or any interests therein except such Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
          (e) No Breach or Default. Except as shall have been cured, consented to or waived in writing by the Company prior to the Closing or except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(e) attached hereto, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Company Entities of (A) the organizational documents, including the charters and bylaws, if any, of the Sponsor, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or by which the Sponsor is bound or (C) to the Sponsor’s knowledge, any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on the Sponsor or by which the Sponsor or any of its assets or properties are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the MXT Interests or any interests therein except such Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
          (f) No Related Party Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(f) attached hereto, there are no material contracts, agreements or other transactions between any Company Entity or Student Housing Entity or any of their respective affiliates, on the one part,

6


 

and MXT or any person holding a direct interest in MXT or any of their respective affiliates, on the other part.
          (g) No Broker or Finder. There are no contracts, agreements or understanding between MXT, or any person holding a direct or indirect controlling interest in MXT, or any of their respective affiliates and any other person that would give rise to a valid claim against any Company Entity or any underwriter under the IPO for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the IPO or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (h) Withholding; Non-Foreign Status. MXT is not subject to any federal or state withholding provisions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons. MXT is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), and is, therefore, not subject to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons, and is not subject to any state withholding requirements.
          (i) Taxes. To MXT’s knowledge, for federal income tax purposes, each Student Housing Entity is, and at all times during its existence has been, a partnership or limited liability company taxable as a partnership (rather than an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation). To the knowledge of MXT, each Student Housing Entity has timely and properly filed all tax returns required to be filed by it and has timely paid all taxes required to be paid by it, except with respect to those taxes being contested in good faith. To MXT’s knowledge, none of the tax returns filed by any Student Housing Entity is the subject of a pending or ongoing audit, and no federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority has asserted any tax deficiency or other assessment against a MXT Property or a Student Housing Entity. To MXT’s knowledge, neither MXT nor the Student Housing Entities have received any notification of any material new or increased general or special tax assessments for any of the MXT Properties or the MXT Interests.
          (j) Real Property.
               (1) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, neither the Sponsor nor any of the Student Housing Entities has given or received any written notice of any uncured default with respect to any agreement affecting the MXT Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and no event has occurred or, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, is threatened, which through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material default thereunder or would cause the acceleration of any obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any MXT Property, except for such Liens that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
               (2) Each Student Housing Entity identified on Schedule 1.1 as owning an underlying MXT Property has insurable fee simple or ground lease title to such MXT Property.
               (3) Neither the Sponsor nor any Student Housing Entity has received any written notice from a Governmental Entity (i) charging any violation of any

7


 

applicable law or asserting the need for any correction under any applicable law, (ii) revoking, canceling, denying renewal of, or threatening any such action with respect to, any Permit, or (iii) indicating that any inquiry, complaint, proceeding or investigation (excluding routine, periodic inspections) is contemplated or pending regarding compliance of any MXT Property with any applicable law, other than, in each case, to the extent not causing or reasonably expecting to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
               (4) There is no existing or, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding, which would affect all or any portion of the MXT Properties in any material respect.
               (5) The ground leases listed on Schedule 3.2(j)(5) attached hereto (the “Ground Leases”) are the only ground leases in which any of the Student Housing Entities hold an interest as lessee or tenant. The Ground Leases are in full force and effect. To the Sponsor’s knowledge, no ground lessor under any of the Ground Leases is in default thereunder or is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. Except for the mechanics’ and/or materialmen’s liens disclosed in the Registration Statement, neither the Sponsor nor any of the Student Housing Entities is in default under any Ground Lease, and, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default under any Ground Lease.
               (6) No written notice has been received by any Student Housing Entity from any Governmental Entity that a MXT Property is in material violation of the terms and conditions of any Permit applicable thereto or that any Permit not in effect is required for the lawful operation of such MXT Property as currently conducted. True, complete and correct copies of all material Permits and all amendments and supplements thereto have been made available to the Company Entities prior to the date hereof.
          (k) Tenant Leases. Except as identified on Schedule 3.2(k) attached hereto, there are no Leases encumbering any of the MXT Properties other than Leases to residents on such Student Housing Entity’s standard form therefor. Except as identified on Schedule 3.2(k) attached hereto, there are no security deposits or letters of credit held by a Student Housing Entity or its agents under any Lease, and each Student Housing Entity and its agents hold any tenant security deposits in compliance with any applicable laws and the terms of the applicable Leases. (1) No rent or other payment due from the tenant under any Lease is delinquent for greater than thirty (30) days past its due date or has been paid more than one month in advance of its due date, (2) no default, or event or condition which upon notice or passage of time or both will mature into a default, exists under any Lease on the part of the landlord or on the part of the tenant, (3) there is no right of any tenant under any Lease to any “free” rent or rent abatement (other than upon damage to or destruction or condemnation of the leased premises), (4) there is no remaining obligation, present or contingent, on the part of any Student Housing Entity to pay any commission, finder’s fee or similar compensation with respect to the current term of any Lease, and (5) there are no current eviction proceedings, in all cases except to the extent such items, taken individually and as a whole, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Student Housing Entity, the applicable MXT Property, or the MXT Properties collectively.

8


 

          (1) Management. There are no agreements relating to the management of the MXT Properties other than as set forth on Schedule 3.2(1) attached hereto. Each of the management agreements set forth on Schedule 3.2(1) is in full force and effect and there have been no amendments or modifications to such management agreements other than as set forth on Schedule 3.2(1).
          (m) Environmental Compliance. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the MXT Properties are currently in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits. The Sponsor has not received any written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other Governmental Entity that regulates Hazardous Materials or public health risks or other environmental matters or any other private party or Person claiming any violation of, or requiring compliance with, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or demanding payment or contribution for any Release or other environmental damage in, on, under, or upon any of the MXT Properties. No investigation or litigation with respect to Hazardous Materials located in, on, under or upon any of the MXT Properties is pending or, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, has been overtly threatened in writing in the last twelve (12) months by any Governmental Entity or any third party.
          (n) Intellectual Property. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no Actions involving the Sponsor, any Student Housing Entities, or the MXT Properties, pending or threatened, that concern any copyrights, copyright application, trademarks, trademark registrations, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade names and trade name registrations or any trade secrets (the “Proprietary Rights”) being transferred directly or indirectly to the Company Entities hereunder by the Sponsor. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Sponsor has the right and authority to use the Proprietary Rights being transferred to the Company Entities hereunder by the Sponsor necessary in connection with the operation of the MXT Properties in the manner in which it is currently used, and to convey such right and authority to the Company Entities on the Closing Date.
          (o) Existing Loans. The Registration Statement lists all secured loans presently encumbering the MXT Properties or any direct or indirect interest in any Student Housing Entity, and any unsecured loans made to the Sponsor or any Student Housing Entity to be assumed by or indirectly transferred to the Company Entities or any subsidiary of the Company Entities on the Closing Date, as of the date hereof (the “Existing Loans”). The Existing Loans and the documents entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) are in full force and effect as of the date hereof. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, no event of default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default has occurred as of the date hereof under any of the Loan Documents that would have a Material Adverse Effect.
