7.4 Period for Investigation
 
(a) SCOLP shall have a period commencing on the date hereof through December 2, 2011 (the "Investigation Period") to inspect and investigate all aspects of the Communities, including, without limitation, the physical condition of the Communities, all items of income and expense arising from the Project Entities’ ownership and operation of the Communities, and all documents relating thereto.  In the event the Principals have failed to deliver or make available to SCOLP the information and material required by Section 7.1(d) and (e) within five (5) days of the date hereof, the Investigation Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the number of days from the required delivery date of each such item to the actual date of delivery of all such items.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCOLP may continue to review and assess after the Investigation Period until December 8, 2011 any third-party reports (aside from the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit, as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements) that are not delivered to SCOLP prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period (“Third Party Reports”).  At any time upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Investigation Period, as the same may have been extended pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.4, or (ii) the completion of SCOLP’s review and assessment of the Third Party Reports (which may not be later than December 8, 2011), and for any reason whatsoever, SCOLP may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit and all earnings thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and any timeframes set forth above, so long as SCOLP orders within 5 business days of the date hereof the Environmental Audits and new Surveys for the Communities and diligently pursues their receipt, SCOLP may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit and all earnings thereon within three (3) business days after SCOLP’s receipt of the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements).
 
(b) If SCOLP notifies the Principals in writing upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Investigation Period, as the same may be extended, (ii) the completion of SCOLP’s review and assessment of the Third Party Reports (which may not be later than December 8, 2011), or (iii) within three (3) business days after SCOLP’s receipt of the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements), that it waives its right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 7.4 above (the "Investigation Notice"), its right under Section 7.4 to terminate this Agreement shall expire.  If SCOLP does not send the Investigation Notice to the Principals upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Investigation Period, as the same may be extended, (ii) the completion of SCOLP’s review of any Third Party Reports (which may not be later than December 8, 2011), or (iii) within three (3) business days after SCOLP’s receipt of the Commitment, the Survey and the Environmental Audit (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreements), SCOLP, without further action, shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to SCOLP, and SCOLP and the Principals shall have no further obligation to the other hereunder.

7.5 Remedies for Failure to Close
 
(a) In the event all or any of the Principals, Project Entities or their affiliates default in the performance of any of the Transaction Agreements, SCOLP may, as SCOLP’s exclusive remedy:  (i) terminate this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Agreements by written notice delivered to the Principals at or prior to the Closing Date and receive a full refund of the Deposit and all earnings thereon; or (ii) obtain specific performance of the terms and conditions hereof and of the other Transaction Agreements provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within ninety (90) days after such default, to the extent permitted by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Principals, Project Entities or their affiliates be liable or responsible for (and SCOLP hereby waives) all claims to recover any monetary damages whatsoever, whether general, special, incidental or consequential allegedly arising from any breach of this Agreement by the Principals, Project Entities or their affiliates; provided, however, that, in the event that either (i) the Principals are unable to obtain the requisite consent of Tremont to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, SCOLP shall receive a full refund of the Deposit and the Principals and the Project Entities, jointly and severally, shall promptly reimburse SCOLP for the lesser of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or SCOLP’s actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) the Principals are unable to receive from the existing lenders the necessary consents and releases to release the Communities from any and all security interests, pledges, liens, claims or encumbrances prior to Closing, SCOLP shall receive a full refund of the Deposit and the Principals and the Project Entities shall, jointly and severally, promptly reimburse SCOLP for up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of SCOLP’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  In the event SCOLP or its affiliates default in the performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, the Principals shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and have the Escrow Agent pay to the Principals, as liquidated damages, the Deposit (and all earnings thereon), the same being the Principals’ sole and exclusive remedy, and SCOLP shall have no further or other liability hereunder.  The Principals and SCOLP agree that in the event of a default by SCOLP or its affiliates under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, the Principals’ damages would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and the amount of the Deposit represents a reasonable estimate of such damages.  Neither SCOLP, nor any designee, transferee or assignee of SCOLP, nor any officers, directors, shareholders or partners, general or limited, of SCOLP or such designee, transferee or assignee, shall be personally or individually liable with respect to any obligation under this Agreement, all such personal and individual liability, if any, being hereby waived by the Principals on its behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming by, through or under the Principals.

- 5 -

 
        which Current Taxes are payable in arrears, shall be prorated and adjusted between the parties such that the Seller is responsible for that portion of the Current Taxes allocable to the period from the beginning of such tax year to the Closing
        Date, and the Purchaser is responsible for that portion of the Current Taxes allocable to the period from the Closing Date through the end of the tax year.  If the tax bills for the Current Taxes have not been issued by the Closing Date, Seller
        and Purchaser agree to use 105% of the amount of the taxes for the year immediately preceding the Closing for the purpose of computing the prorations under this Section 8.1(a).
 
(b) The amount of all unpaid water and other utility bills, and of all other day to day operating expenses (the “Expenses”) incurred with respect to the Project, relating to the period prior to the Closing Date, shall be paid by Seller or if unpaid, credited to Purchaser at Closing. Expenses attributable to the period from and after the Closing shall be the obligation of the Purchaser or to the extent prepaid by Seller, credited to Seller at Closing.
 
(c) Charges under Project Contracts which are assigned to Purchaser at Purchaser's request shall be paid by Seller, to the extent attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and shall be paid by Purchaser, to the extent attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date, and all charges due under Project Contracts not assigned to Purchaser shall be paid by Seller.

C. The Land, the Improvements, and the Personal Property, together with all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all licenses, permits and franchises issued with respect to the development, use, occupancy, maintenance or operation of the Land and Improvements, all right, title and interest, if any, of Seller in and to any land lying in the bed of any street, road or avenue, open or proposed, in front of or adjoining the Land to the center line thereof, all easements appurtenant to the Land, including, but not limited to, privileges or rights of way over adjoining premises inuring to the benefit of the Land, or the fee owner thereof, and all rights of use, air, mineral and subsurface rights, servitudes, licenses, tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances now or hereafter belonging to the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Project".

2. PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT THEREOF.
 
2.1 The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Project is the sum of Four Million Six Hundred Seventy Thousand Six and 25/Dollars ($4,670,006.25).  The Purchase Price, adjusted as provided in this Agreement, shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller on the Closing Date (as herein defined) by certified or cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to Seller's designated financial institution.

Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, without standard exceptions, issued by a title company selected by Seller and agreed upon by Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion (the "Title Company"), along with legible copies of all instruments described in Schedule B of the Commitment, in the amount of the Purchase Price, and showing marketable and insurable title in the Seller.  At Closing, the Seller and Purchaser shall each to deliver to the
 
 
- 2 -

 
other such documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably required by such party, its counsel, or the Title Company to cause to be provided to Purchaser, at Seller's expense, a policy of title insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued pursuant to the Commitment, insuring the interest in the Project being acquired by Purchaser without the "standard exceptions" and containing such additional endorsements as Purchaser shall reasonably request.
 
4.2 Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall furnish Purchaser with its existing survey of the Project and Purchaser shall place an order a current ALTA "as built" survey (the "Survey") of the Project prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer approved by Purchaser, certified to the Purchaser, the Title Company, and any other parties designated by Purchaser, using the form attached as Exhibit "E" hereto, or such other form of Survey and certificate as Purchaser may designate.  The Survey shall show the legal description of the Land, the total acreage of each parcel comprising the Land, all structures and improvements located thereon, all boundaries, courses and dimensions, set-back lines, easements and rights of way (including any recording references), the location of all highways, streets and roads upon or adjacent to the Land, and the location of all utility lines and connections with such utility lines.

5. TITLE OBJECTIONS.
 
5.1 If the Commitment or Survey discloses exceptions which are not acceptable to Purchaser, in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its objections to such exceptions (the "Title Defects") within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser has received the Commitment, legible copies of all instruments described in Schedule B of the Commitment and the updated Survey described in Section 4.2 above (the “Title Review Period”).  In the event Purchaser fails to deliver notice to Seller of the Title Defects prior to the end of the Title Review Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all items set forth in each Commitment and Survey and all such items shall be deemed included among the Permitted Exceptions.  Seller agrees to cause to be discharged on or prior to Closing all Title Defects pertaining to liens, encumbrances and other matters shown on the Commitment of a definite or ascertainable amount (other than the liens of the mortgages against the Projects to which Seller has not secured the consent to release of such lien as of the Closing) (the "Removable Liens") and to use its best efforts to cure any other Title Defects.  If Purchaser objects to any exception disclosed on the Commitment or Survey, such exception shall not be treated as a Permitted Exception hereunder.  If within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of notice from Purchaser, Seller fails to have the Title Defects deleted from the Commitment or Survey, as the case may be, or discharged , or fails to provide written assurances reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that such Title Defects or the Removable Liens will be removed or otherwise cured at or prior to Closing, Purchaser may:

R E C I T A L S
A.           This Agreement is being executed in connection with that certain First Asset Purchase Agreement, dated February 16, 2012, by and between Grand Lake RV and Golf Resort, LLC, Three Lakes RV Park, LLC, Blue Berry Hill RV, LLC, Blue Berry Hill RV SPE, LLC, and Sun Blueberry Hill LLC, Sun Grand Lake LLC,  and Sun Three Lakes LLC (the “APA”) which relates to the conveyance of those real properties known as the Three Lakes, Grand Lakes Estates and Blueberry Hill (the “Properties”), as more particularly described in the following contracts: that certain Master BGT Real Estate Purchase Agreement, dated November 9, 2011, between Robert C. Morgan, Robert Moser and SCOLP, as amended (the “Master BGT Agreement”), that certain Agreement of Sale, dated November 16, 2011, between Three Lakes RV Park, LLC and SCOLP, as amended (the “Three Lakes PSA”), that certain Agreement of Sale, dated November 16, 2011, between Grand Lake RV and Golf Resort LLC and SCOLP, as amended (the “Grand Lakes PSA”) and that certain Agreement of Sale, dated November 16, 2011, between Blue Berry Hill RV LLC and Blue Berry Hill RV SPE LLC and SCOLP, as amended (the “Blueberry Hill PSA,” together with the Master BGT Agreement, Three Lakes PSA and Grand Lakes PSA, the “Sale Contracts”).  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth in the Sale Contracts.
 
B.           In order to assure to SCOLP the value of the Properties and good will associated with the Properties, Robert C. Morgan and Robert Moser have agreed that in exchange for the consideration set forth below, neither they nor any of their affiliated entities will engage in the development, ownership or operation of any recreational vehicle community during the time and within the area described herein.
 
C.           To accomplish the foregoing, and as a condition to the consummation of the terms of the Sale Contracts, Robert C. Morgan and Robert Moser have agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) (the “Non Compete Consideration”) to be paid by SCOLP to Robert C. Morgan and Robert Moser upon the closing of the transactions set forth in the APA and the Sale Contracts, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1. Covenant Not to Compete.  Except for any recreational vehicle communities currently owned by the Project Entities, Robert C. Morgan, Robert Moser or their affiliates, Robert C. Morgan and Robert Moser, for themselves and their affiliates, agree that, for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, no such person or entity will (i) engage in the development, ownership or operation of any recreational vehicle community, located within five (5) miles of any of the Properties whether such operation involves the lease or sale of
 
 
 

 
 
recreational vehicle sites therein, and whether such development, ownership or operation is direct or is indirect, through one or more entities, contractual relationships or familial relationships, and whether such development, ownership or operation is as owner, principal, agent, partner, shareholder, officer, director, member, trustee, beneficiary, employer, employee, consultant, manager, lessor, lessee, or otherwise, or (ii) solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, any tenants or residents of any of the Properties, whether tenants or residents now or in the future.

3. Limitation of Scope.  If the aforesaid covenants not to compete set forth in Section 1 are found by any court having jurisdiction to be too broad in extent, either as to the time period or geographical area designated, or otherwise, then and in such case, the covenants not to compete shall nevertheless remain effective, but shall be considered amended (as to time or area or otherwise, as the case may be) to a point considered by said court to be reasonable, and as so amended shall be fully enforceable.
 
4. Benefit.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective executors, heirs, administrators, personal representatives and successors
 
5. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.
 
6. Governing Law. The validity, meaning and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.
 
7. Rules of Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF
THREE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE COMMUNITIES

Southfield, MI, February 20, 2012 - Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE: SUI) (the “Company”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities, today announced that, on February 16, 2012, it acquired three recreational vehicle communities, personal property and other associated intangibles from Three Lakes RV Park, LLC,  Blue Berry Hill RV LLC, Blue Berry Hill RV SPE LLC, and Grand Lake RV and Golf Resort LLC (the “Sellers”), acquired substantially all of the assets of two management companies affiliated with the Sellers, and entered into customary non-competition agreements with the principals of the Sellers, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million that was paid in cash. The acquired communities, one of which is located in Hudson, Florida, one of which is located in Bushnell, Florida and one of which is located in Orange Lake, Florida, are comprised of 488 permanent recreational vehicle sites and 636 seasonal recreational vehicle sites

In December 2011, the Company purchased three recreational vehicle communities, personal property and other associated intangibles from affiliates of the Sellers. The aggregate purchase price for the six communities was $50.0 million and was financed with $17.0 million of newly-acquired debt and $33.0 million of cash. The debt is secured by the three recreational vehicle communities acquired in December 2011, bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, has a term of three years (plus two one year extension options) and is interest-only until June 30, 2012, at which time amortization begins based on a 25- year amortization schedule. The six communities contain a total of 997 permanent recreational vehicle sites and 897 seasonal recreational vehicle sites. The Company believes this portfolio provides for growth from both rental increases and improved seasonal occupancy and allows for cross-marketing opportunities utilizing the Company’s existing call center systems and staffing.

Sun Communities, Inc. is a REIT that currently owns and operates a portfolio of 162 communities comprising approximately 55,900 developed sites.
