6. Partnership Liabilities and Sales of Real Property

a. Disposition Obligations. Subject to this Section 6(a) and the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof, during the Non-Taxable Disposition Period, Acquiror shall:

(i) Use its good faith, reasonable and diligent efforts to cause any sale or other voluntary disposition (other than through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a foreclosure action, or an act of eminent domain) of any Property (and all assets received in exchange for such Property in which the REIT or Acquiror has an adjusted tax basis substituted from that of such Property) to qualify for non-recognition of gain under the Code (for example, by means of exchanges contemplated under Code Sections 351, 354, 355, 368, 721, 1031 (but only if there is no "boot") or 1033), in the manner as the Code provides from time to time (the "Non-Recognition Code Provisions"); provided, however, that if Acquiror is unable, after using its good faith, reasonable and diligent efforts, to structure any such sale or other disposition in a manner that qualifies for non-recognition of gain under the Code, then Acquiror shall be free in its sole and absolute discretion, without any liability whatsoever hereunder or otherwise to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, to cause any sale or other voluntary disposition of the Property (and all assets received in exchange for such Property in which the REIT or Acquiror has an adjusted tax basis substituted for that of such Property) in a manner that does not qualify for non-recognition of gain under the Code;

(ii) Maintain, on a continuous basis, an amount of indebtedness for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (including, for this purpose, transferees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ so long as such transferees are identified by notice to Acquiror) bears, or is deemed to bear, the "economic risk of loss" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(a) (including through the use of guarantee arrangements or arrangements providing for the imposition of a deficit restoration obligation on Contributors pursuant to an amendment to the Partnership Agreement) or which is allocated to Contributor pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a) equal to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) (the "Minimum Amount");

(iii) Use its good faith, reasonable and diligent efforts to avoid a distribution of property that would cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to recognize income or gain in excess of $250,000 pursuant to the provisions of either or both of Code Sections 704(c)(1)(B) and 737, provided, further, that, if Acquiror is unable, after using its good faith, reasonable and diligent efforts, to structure any disposition of property in a manner that will not cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to recognize income or gain in excess of $250,000 pursuant to the provisions of either or both of Code Sections 704(c)(1)(B) and 737, then

Acquiror shall be free in its sole and absolute discretion, without any liability whatsoever hereunder or otherwise to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, to complete disposition of property in a manner that will cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to recognize income or gain in excess of $250,000 pursuant to the provisions of either or both of Code Sections 704(c)(1)(B) and 737;

(iv) As long as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ remains as a partner of Acquiror, Acquiror agrees to utilize the "traditional method," without curative allocations (as contemplated for in the Partnership Agreement), of allocating gain and depreciation under Code Section 704(c) for each Property other than the Reno Property, and to utilize the "remedial method" of allocating gain and depreciation under Code Section 704(c) for the Reno Property.

In all events, the Non-Taxable Disposition Period shall terminate, and the provisions of this Section 6 only shall automatically be rendered null and void and shall be of no further force or effect, as of the occurrence of an amendment or other material revision to Code Section 1031 or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, which amendment or revision materially and, with respect to the REIT and Acquiror, adversely alters the tax-treatment of "like-kind" exchanges of real estate pursuant to such provisions.

b. Limitation on Disposition Obligations. For purposes of this Section 6 and except as otherwise provided in Section 6(c), the Contributors agree that neither the REIT GP nor Acquiror shall be required to obtain any approval, consent or waiver from, or take direction from, or otherwise communicate with, any person or representative or entity concerning the Contributor Assets, other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Notification of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the Contributor Assets shall constitute sufficient and effective notification to all Interest Holders associated with the Contributor Assets, and written communications from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the Contributor Assets shall bind all Interest Holders associated with, related to, or having an interest in, the Contributor Assets.

c. Notice of Certain Transactions; Expenses.

(i) In the event, on or before the expiration of the Non-Taxable Disposition Period, Acquiror expects any of the following (each, a "Tax-Related Event") to occur: (A) a post-Closing sale of any Property; (B) a reduction in the amount of indebtedness to an amount that is less than the Minimum Amount (other than by regularly or other scheduled principal payments); or (C) an attempt by Acquiror to effect a transfer of any Property as permitted by Section 6(a)(i) above, but the terms of Section 1031 of the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder have changed such that the mechanics for implementing a tax-deferred exchange of real estate are materially and adversely altered (whether with respect to the timing required to identify and close upon an exchange property or otherwise) from those mechanics in place as of the date of this Agreement, and, in any case, provided that the obligations of the REIT GP and Acquiror under Section 6 shall not have otherwise terminated by the terms of such Section, then Acquiror shall give written notice of such Tax-Related Event (a "Tax-Related Notice") to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as soon as practicable after the occurrence of such event becomes reasonably likely, or, if later, on the date on which Acquiror is, in the reasonable judgment of its securities counsel, legally permitted, under applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, and the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, to disseminate such Tax-Related Notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(ii) Upon receipt of a Tax-Related Notice, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall represent the Interest Holders and any of their respective transferees (if applicable) in connection with the Tax-Related Event that triggered the delivery of such Tax-Related Notice. Each Contributor hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as their attorney-in-fact, with full power to grant in the name of and on behalf of such Contributor, any and all consents, waivers, approvals, and to execute any and all documents required or appropriate to be executed, whether with respect to this Agreement, the Partnership Agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that such attorney-in-fact may only act within the scope necessitated by the Tax-Related Event. Acquiror and the REIT GP shall be under no obligation to deal with any person other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the subject Tax-Related

Event as it relates to any Contributor. Acquiror and the REIT GP, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the other hand, shall cooperate (and shall cause their respective independent accountants, attorneys and other representatives and advisors to cooperate) with each other in order to consider actions, proposed by or through ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (it being understood that neither the REIT GP nor Acquiror shall have any obligation whatsoever to propose any such actions), designed or intended to defer or mitigate any recognition of gain under the Code by any Contributor or any shareholder or partner in any Contributor (any such gain recognition being referred to herein as an "Adverse Tax Consequence") that may result from a Tax-Related Event, whether such actions involve any or all of the Contributors on a basis independent of the REIT GP and Acquiror, or in conjunction with the REIT GP or Acquiror. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the procedure delineated in this Section 6(c)(ii). In no event, however, shall either the REIT GP or Acquiror be required to incur any expense (other than the cost of professional fees and expenses and administrative expenses incurred in complying with this Section 6(c)(ii)) in connection with its cooperation under this Section 6(c)(ii), nor shall any transaction duly approved by the Board of Directors of the REIT that results in a Tax-Related Event be required to be suspended, postponed, impeded or otherwise adversely affected by virtue of any potential Adverse Tax Consequence.

d. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing.

(i) Operations. Except as otherwise approved by Acquiror in writing, from the Effective Date until the Closing Date, LVWD shall (a) operate, manage, maintain, repair and lease the Reno Property in the ordinary course and consistent with sound business and property management practices of LVWD and (b) not sell, dispose of or encumber the Reno Property, or enter into an agreement to so do, except replacements of Personal Property with equivalent or better quality Personal Property. Without limiting the foregoing, LVWD shall (x) negotiate with prospective Tenants and enter into New Leases on the standard lease form, without material modification, for rents and terms equivalent to or better than the standard lease terms (LVWD hereby agreeing to give Acquiror prompt notice of Leases entered into that materially vary from the Standard Lease Form and/or the Standard Lease Terms), and (y) pay all costs and expenses of the Reno Property, including without limitation debt service and real estate taxes as they become due and payable prior to any penalty being incurred.

(ii) Lease Enforcement. LVWD shall not apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by LVWD toward any loss or damage incurred by LVWD by reason of any default by any Tenant, unless (a) written notice of such default, to the extent required by applicable law or the terms of such Tenant's lease, shall have been provided to the relevant Tenant, (b) such Tenant shall have vacated its leased premises, and (iii) LVWD shall have notified Acquiror of such application.

(iii) Modifications; Agreements.

(1) LVWD shall not amend, modify or terminate any Lease, Lease Guaranty, Contract, License, Permit, or Warranty without, in each instance, Acquiror's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(2) LVWD shall provide Acquiror with (a) a summary of the lease activities, on a weekly basis, from and after the Effective Date until the Closing Date, which shall include descriptions of New Leases entered into from and after the Effective Date, (b) any modifications of or amendments to Leases and Lease Guaranties entered into from and after the Effective Date, and (c) terminations by LVWD of any Leases or Lease Guaranties from and after the Effective Date and prior to its stated expiration date.

(iv) Insurance. LVWD shall keep all its Insurance Policies in full force and effect through the day immediately following the Closing Date.

(v) New Contracts. LVWD shall not enter into any contract, agreement or understanding with respect to the Reno Property unless approved by Acquiror in advance.

(vi) No Solicitation. LVWD shall not solicit offers for the purchase of the Reno Property, or any of them, or submit or accept or discuss proposals or solicitations for the sale or other disposition of, or investment in, the Reno Property without the prior approval of Acquiror.

(vii) Risk of Loss; Insurance Proceeds; Condemnation.

(1) LVWD shall bear all risk of loss with respect to the Reno Property unless and until Closing occurs in the manner provided herein. If the Reno Property, or any part thereof, is contaminated or damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing for the Reno Property, LVWD shall proceed with due dispatch to make any required repairs after receipt of insurance proceeds, and to the extent any such proceeds have not been paid by the carrier as of the Closing Date, then the gross amount of such unpaid proceeds shall be unconditionally and absolutely assigned to Acquiror at Closing, in form reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror.

(2) In the event the Reno Property, or any material part thereof, is taken in condemnation prior to Closing (any taking that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the operations at or profitability of the Reno Property shall be deemed a taking of a material part of the Reno Property), LVWD shall pay upon receipt to Acquiror any condemnation award received by LVWD from the condemning authority on or prior to Closing, and to the extent such award has not been paid by the condemning authority at Closing, then the gross amount of such unpaid proceeds shall be unconditionally and absolutely assigned to Acquiror at Closing, in form reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror and LVWD.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing LVWD shall not adjust, settle, compromise or otherwise stipulate any insurance casualty settlement, condemnation award or other recovery in connection with any casualty or taking without the prior written approval of Acquiror, and Acquiror shall have the right to participate in any such adjustment, settlement and other proceedings.

(viii) Acquiror's Rights, Remedies and Protections. LVWD hereby assigns to Acquiror all of the rights and remedies to which LVWD, as purchaser, is entitled under the Reno Agreement. Acquiror hereby confirms that copies of the Reno Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption of the Reno Agreement dated as of October 18, 2004 have been previously provided to Acquiror. The parties intend that the effect of the foregoing assignment is to place Acquiror in the same position that Acquiror would be in with respect to the seller of the Reno Property if Acquiror was

itself the purchaser under the Reno Agreement. In the event Acquiror is unable to proceed directly against the seller of the Reno Property, or Acquiror elects to cause LVWD to proceed directly against the seller of the Reno Property on behalf of Acquiror, LVWD shall upon request and at the expense of Acquiror enforce all rights and remedies to which LVWD is entitled under the Reno Agreement. In fulfilling its obligation to enforce the rights and remedies of the purchaser under the Reno Agreement, LVWD shall prosecute such enforcement diligently and in good faith as directed by Acquiror with counsel selected by Acquiror.

ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

Name of Investor:

I.: Introduction

I acknowledge that the offer and sale of shares of limited partnership beneficial ownership interests (the "Shares"), of GMH Communities, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Company"), are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws, but rather are being made by the Company pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and corresponding exemptions under applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the following information is needed in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the such exemptions and to confirm, inter alia, that an investment in the Company is suitable in light of my personal and financial positions (or, if I am acting in a representative capacity, in light of the financial position of the entity on whose behalf I am acting), and I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment.

I understand that the Company will rely upon the information contained herein in determining whether to offer or sell the Shares to me (or, if I am acting in a representative capacity, the entity on whose behalf I am acting). Accordingly, I represent and warrant to the Company and their affiliates and advisers as follows:

(i) The information contained herein is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and their affiliates and advisers.

(ii) I will notify the Company immediately of any material change in any of such information occurring prior to the acceptance or rejection of my initial subscription for the Shares.

(iii) I will update such information as required prior to making any additional subscription for the Shares.

I also understand and agree that, although the Company and their affiliates will use their best efforts to keep the information provided in the answers to this questionnaire strictly confidential, they may present this questionnaire and the information provided in answers to it to such parties as they deem advisable if called upon to establish the availability under any federal or state securities laws of an exemption from registration of the offer and sale of the Shares or if the contents thereof are relevant to any issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company or their affiliates or advisers is a party or by which they or it are or may be bound.

I realize that this questionnaire does not constitute an offer by the Company or its affiliates to sell the Shares but is merely a request for information.
