LOAN ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

THIS LOAN ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE, dated as of May 5, 2014, to be effective as of May 7, 2014 (this “Agreement”) is made by and among the parties listed on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, “Transferor”), IRT CARRINGTON APARTMENTS OWNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Transferee”) and IRT UPREIT LENDER, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Lender”).

RECITALS

A. Transferor obtained a loan (the “Loan”) from Lender in the original principal amount of SIXTEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT and 27/100 DOLLARS ($16,229,688.27), which Loan is evidenced by that certain Promissory Note dated May 7, 2014 (the “Note”) executed by Transferor, as maker, and payable to the order of Lender, as payee, as more particularly set forth in the Note.

B. Transferor’s obligations under and in connection with the Loan and the Note are secured by that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, executed by Transferor for the benefit of Lender, submitted for recording together herewith in records of Pulaski County, Arkansas (the “Mortgage”). Pursuant to the Mortgage, Transferor granted to Lender a lien and security interest in certain real and personal property of Transferor more particularly described in the Mortgage (the “Mortgaged Property”), including without limitation, the real property described on Exhibit A attached hereto.

C. The Note, the Mortgage and any other documents or instruments evidencing or securing the Loan are referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents.” Terms with initial capitalized letters used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Mortgage.

D. Transferor and Transferee have now requested the consent of Lender (i) to the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to Transferee (the “Transfer”), and in connection with such Transfer, to the assumption by Transferee of all of Transferor’s duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Assumption”), and (ii) to the release of Transferor from all claims, obligations and liabilities arising out of the Loan Documents.


AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lender, Transferor and Transferee agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein as a substantive, contractual part of this Agreement.

2. Assumption of Obligations. Transferee agrees to and does hereby assume all of the payment, indemnity and performance obligations of the Transferor set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, including without limitation, payment of all sums now or hereafter due and payable under the Note. Transferee further agrees to abide by and be bound by all of the terms of the Loan Documents, all as though each of the Loan Documents had been originally made, executed and delivered by Transferee. The provisions of the Loan Documents are incorporated herein by this reference, as if fully set forth herein.

3. Consent to Transfer and Assumption. Lender hereby consents to the Transfer and to the Assumption.

4. Release of Transferor. In reliance on the Transferor’s agreements in this Agreement and in consideration for the releases contained in Section 7 of this Agreement, Lender releases the Transferor from its obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents, including but not limited to all indemnity obligations. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to impair the right of Lender to name Transferor, (a) for purposes of extinguishing Transferor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage, or (b) for purposes of appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property.

5. No Impairment of Lien. Nothing set forth herein shall affect the priority or extent of the lien of the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, nor, except as expressly set forth herein, release or change the liability of any party who may now be or after the date of this Agreement may become liable, primarily or secondarily, under the Loan Documents.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Claims” shall mean any and all possible claims, demands, actions, fees, costs, expenses and liabilities whatsoever, known or unknown, at law or in equity, originating in whole or in part, on or before the date of this Agreement, which the Transferor or any of its partners, limited partners, members, officers, directors, shareholders, agents or employees, may now or hereafter have against the Indemnitees, and irrespective of whether any such Claims arise out of contract, tort, violation of laws, or regulations, or otherwise, arising out of or relating to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, collecting or receiving interest in excess of the highest lawful rate applicable thereto and any loss, cost or damage, of any kind or character, arising out of or in any way connected with or in any way resulting from the acts, actions or omissions of Indemnitees, including possible claims by Transferor due to any requirement by Lender that the Loan Documents be modified as a condition to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any charging, collecting or contracting for prepayment premiums, transfer fees, or assumption fees, any breach of fiduciary commitment, undue influence, duress, economic coercion, violation of any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or regulations, conflict of interest, bad faith, malpractice, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, intentional or negligent infliction of mental or emotional distress, tortious interference with contractual relations, tortious interference with corporate governance or prospective business advance, breach of contract, deceptive trade practices, libel, slander, conspiracy or any claim for wrongfully accelerating the Note or wrongfully attempting to foreclose on any collateral relating to the Note but in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Transferor agrees that Lender has no fiduciary or similar obligations to Transferor and that their relationship is strictly that of creditor and debtor. This release is accepted by Lender pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be construed as an admission of liability on the part of any party hereto. Transferor hereby represents and warrants that it is the current legal and beneficial owner of all Claims, if any, released hereby and have not assigned, pledged or contracted to assign or pledge any such Claims to any other person.

8. Further Assurances. Transferor and Transferee agree to perform such other and further acts, and to execute such additional documents, agreements, notices or financing statements, as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable from time to time to create, preserve, continue, perfect, validate or carry out any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

9. Miscellaneous.
