CONTRIBUTION.

4.1 Formation. AZL shall form the UPREIT immediately prior to Closing by filing the UPREIT Certificate with the Delaware Secretary of State and adopting the UPREIT Agreement. AZL shall be the sole general partner of the UPREIT.

4.2 POP Members Contribution. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and pursuant to the Contribution Agreements, the UPREIT will acquire the Contributed Interests and Contributed Assets subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreements. As a result, the UPREIT will acquire (fully or in part) direct or indirect ownership of the POP Properties, as more specifically described in the respective Contribution Agreement for each POP Property.

4.3 Agreed Value. AZL and POP have agreed that the aggregate Gross Asset Values, including the value attributable to the Contributed Assets, is $568,000,000 (prior to deducting the aggregate amount of the POP Properties Indebtedness), subject to the prorations and adjustments provided in the applicable Contribution Agreement, or as otherwise provided herein.

4.4 Aggregate Unit Issuance. As consideration for the contribution of the Contributed Interests and the Contributed Assets to the UPREIT, POP and the POP Members shall receive, or direct the issuance, in the aggregate, of Common Units having a value equal to twenty five percent (25%), and Preferred Units equal to seventy-five percent (75%), of an amount equal to the aggregate Net Asset Values (which would be approximately $165,000,000 on the date hereof). For the purposes of this Section, Common Units shall have a per unit value equal to the Adjusted Per Share Value. For the purposes of this Section, Preferred Units shall have a per unit value of $25.00.

4.5 Allocation Among POP Members. The Common Units and Preferred Units issuable at Closing shall be allocated as designated by POP based upon a schedule prepared by POP and delivered at Closing.

4.6 General Partner’s Contribution. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at Closing, AZL shall contribute to the UPREIT all of its assets as of the Closing Date (including any AZL Assets that have not been sold prior to the Closing Date) except for any cash reserved for the payment of the Special Dividend, any Permitted Common Dividends or any accrued liabilities of AZL. In consideration for such contribution, AZL shall acquire a general partner interest in the UPREIT and become the sole general partner of the UPREIT and shall be deemed to have made a contribution to the UPREIT in an amount equal to the book value of the assets so contributed. Thereafter, AZL shall have the rights, duties, privileges and obligations as the holder of the general partner interest and as the general partner of the UPREIT and be subject to the terms and conditions of the UPREIT Certificate and the UPREIT Agreement. AZL’s general partner interest at any particular time shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and Surviving Corporation Class B Common Stock outstanding as of such time, by (ii) the sum of (A) the total number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and Surviving Corporation Class B Common Stock outstanding as of such time, plus (B) the total number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock into which Common Units outstanding as of such time are exchangeable.

4.7 Intended Tax Treatment. The parties acknowledge that, except to the extent that any or all of POP and the POP Members receive any cash in consideration for the Contributed Interests or the Contributed Assets, the parties intend for the transfer of the Contributed Interests and the Contributed Assets in exchange for Common Units and Preferred Units to result in no current recognition (i.e., a deferral) of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 721 of the Code (such treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with POP and the POP Members to facilitate such treatment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the UPREIT and AZL shall be responsible for costs associated with any Internal Revenue Service audit made directly of either or both of the UPREIT and AZL relating to their respective operations.

4.8 Termination for Tax Purposes. Because the contribution of the Contributed Interests may cause certain POP Affiliates to terminate for federal income tax purposes under Section 708(b) of the Code, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Contribution Agreements with respect to POP Membership Interests in such POP Affiliates shall provide that the POP Members shall have the right and obligation to file any final tax returns for such POP Affiliates. The parties intend that the foregoing contribution section shall not terminate or liquidate the POP Affiliates under the laws

of their jurisdiction of formation for any other purpose and that each POP Affiliate shall continue to exist after Closing, with each POP Affiliate continuing to own its interest in the POP Property owned by such POP Affiliate prior to Closing but with the UPREIT as the sole member of each POP Affiliate as of the Closing Date.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

AZL shall obtain authority at the Shareholders Meeting to effectuate an up to one-for-two reverse stock split of the AZL Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) in the discretion of AZL, and to amend the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of AZL (the “Interim Charter Amendments”) to have provisions consistent with the provisions of the Surviving Corporation Articles and the Surviving Corporation By-laws (provided that the name of AZL shall not be changed). If so requested by POP, AZL shall consummate the Reverse Stock Split and effectuate any Interim Charter Amendments prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time. If so requested by POP, AZL shall consummate the Reverse Stock Split following the Reincorporation Effective Time.

In the event that AZL engages AZLA to act on its behalf in order to sell the AZL Assets, AZL may pay a fee to AZLA in consideration of its services provided that (a) such fee may only be paid upon the consummation of a sale of AZL Assets to an unrelated third party; and (b) the aggregate amount of such fee shall not exceed a sum equal to one percent (1.0%) of the price at which the AZL Assets are sold to a third party.

6.2 Discharge of Accrued Brokerage Commission. AZL shall, prior to the Closing Date, pay and discharge in full all unpaid commissions owed (whether or not then due) by AZL to one or more brokers or other intermediaries in connection with its sale of assets prior to the Closing (including any sales of assets prior to the date of this Agreement).

6.3 Declaration of Special Dividend. AZL, acting through its Board of Directors, shall, prior to December 31, 2006, declare the Special Dividend to its shareholders of record prior to the Closing, which Special Dividend shall, to the extent possible, constitute a “capital gain dividend” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(3)(C) of the Code and shall be used to entirely offset AZL’s net capital gain and other taxable income (if any), arising from the Mortgage Prepayment.

6.4 Restrictions on Dividends. From and after the date hereof through the Closing Date, other than the Special Dividend and any Permitted Common Dividends, AZL shall not make, declare, pay or set aside for payment any dividend payable in cash, stock or property on or in respect of, or declare or make any distribution on, any shares of its capital stock, or directly or indirectly adjust, split, combine, reclassify, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock.

Pursuant to the Management Advisory Agreement, Advisor shall provide the following services to AZL and the UPREIT:

(a)

Corporate Management: Advisor will administer and operate the Surviving Corporation as a publicly traded real estate investment trust, inclusive of all tax

and public company compliance activities, for a predetermined “Base Fee” of $1,500,000 per annum, plus reimbursement of certain third party costs and expenses incurred on behalf of the Surviving Corporation by Advisor as to which the Surviving Corporation is the primary obligor. This fee shall be subject to upward adjustment, based on the growth in size and scope of the Surviving Corporation and the resulting increases in responsibilities incurred by the Advisor, on the basis of a “Supplemental Fee” over and above the Base Fee, equal to the product of (x) 0.1% times (y) the aggregate value of the consolidated gross asset value of the Surviving Corporation in excess of $1.5 billion.

(b)

Investment Management. Advisor will manage the origination, underwriting, acquisition, capitalization and disposition functions for the Surviving Corporation in consideration for specific investment management fees.

The Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock shall have voting rights, voting together as a single class with Surviving Corporation Common Stock, equal to the total number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Common Units and Preferred Units issued to the POP Members pursuant to the Transactions. As Common Units and Preferred Units are exchanged by the Surviving Corporation at the option of a POP Member for Surviving Corporation Common Stock, the number of votes attaching to the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock will decrease by a proportionate amount. The Management Advisory Agreement shall provide that on all matters, the Advisor shall cast votes in respect to the Proportionate Voting Common Stock as, and in amounts, directed by the POP Members and their permitted transferees.

13.8 Environmental Matters.

To AZL’s Knowledge, there is no proceeding or action pending or threatened by any person or governmental agency regarding the environmental condition of the property of AZL.

13.9 Taxes. AZL is, and at all times during its existence has been, a “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code. AZL has incurred no liability for

Taxes under Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code, including (but not limited to) any Tax arising from a prohibited transaction described in Section 857(b)(6) of the Code or any Tax arising from “redetermined rents,” “redetermined deductions” and “excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code. No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which (i) presents a material risk that any Tax described in the preceding sentence will be imposed upon AZL, or (ii) presents a material risk that the Company will fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code. AZL has neither taken nor omitted to take any action that could result in a successful challenge to its status as a real estate investment trust by the Internal Revenue Service, and no such challenge is pending or threatened. AZL and each predecessor of AZL have timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all returns (including without limitation information returns and other material information) in respect of Taxes required to be filed through the date hereof and will timely file any such returns required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date. The returns and other information filed (or to be filed) are complete and accurate in all material respects. All Taxes of AZL in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date have been timely paid, or will be timely paid prior to the Closing Date, and AZL has no material liability for Taxes in excess of the amounts so paid. All Taxes that AZL has been required to collect or withhold have been duly collected or withheld and, to the extent required when due, have been or will be (prior to Closing Date) duly paid to the proper taxing authority. No audits of any of AZL’s federal, state or local returns for Taxes by the relevant taxing authorities have occurred, and no material deficiencies for Taxes of AZL have been claimed, proposed or assessed by any taxing or other governmental authority against AZL. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of AZL, threatened audits, investigations or claims for or relating to any material additional liability to the AZL in respect of Taxes, and there are no matters under discussion with any governmental authorities with respect to Taxes that in reasonable judgment of AZL or its counsel, is likely to result in a material additional liability for Taxes. To the Knowledge of AZL, there are no liens for Taxes (other than for current taxes not yet due and payable) on any of the assets of AZL. The payment of the Special Dividend by AZL will create a corporate level tax deduction for AZL that will eliminate any and all of its federal income tax liability otherwise arising out of its receipt of the Mortgage Prepayment, and will effectively transfer such federal income tax liability to its shareholders.

13.10 Disclosure Controls and Procedures. None of AZL’s records, systems, controls, data or information are recorded, stored, maintained, operated or otherwise wholly or partly dependent on or held by any means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) which (including all means of access thereto and therefrom) are not under the exclusive ownership and direct control of AZL. AZL has systems of internal accounting controls effective in providing reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such internal controls:

(a)

maintain records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of AZL;

(b)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of AZL are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of AZL; and

(c)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the AZL’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

13.11 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for items for which reserves have been established in AZL’s audited consolidated balance sheets contained in AZL’s Form 10-QSB for its quarterly period ending June 30, 2006 and which do not reflect any overstated assets, AZL has not incurred, and is not legally obligated with respect to, any material indebtedness, liability (including, without limitation, a liability arising out of an indemnification, guarantee, hold harmless or similar arrangement) or obligation (accrued or contingent, whether due or to become due, and whether or not subordinated to the claims of its general creditors) on AZL. AZL has not knowingly made nor shall make any representation or covenant in any agreement pursuant to which any loans or other assets have been or will be sold by AZL that contained or shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or shall omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which such representations and/or covenants were made or shall be made, not misleading.

13.12 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in AZL’s Exchange Act Filings, between December 31, 2005 and the date of this Agreement, (a) AZL has conducted its business only in the ordinary course and, (b) there has not been any change that has a AZL Material Adverse Effect.

13.13 Qualification as Reorganization. AZL has not taken or agreed to take any action or failed to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent the Reincorporation from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. To the Knowledge of AZL, there is no fact, condition or other circumstance that would reasonably be expected to prevent the Reincorporation from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

All of such contracts, agreements, arrangements, commitments and transactions are on terms that are no less favorable to AZL than the terms that could be obtained from an unrelated third party.

13.15 Disclosure. To the Knowledge of AZL, none of this Agreement, or any of the schedules, exhibits, agreement, documents, certificates or other items prepared or supplied to POP by, or on behalf of, AZL with respect to AZL or the Transactions contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make each statement contained herein or therein no misleading. To the Knowledge of AZL, there is no fact that AZL has not disclosed to POP in writing and of which it has Knowledge that has had or would reasonably be anticipated to have a AZL Material Adverse Effect. Copies of all documents referred to herein or in the schedules hereto have been delivered or made available to POP, are true, correct and complete copies thereof, and include all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto or waivers thereunder.

Acquisition Proposal; provided, however that AZL shall not be restricted from selling its assets as and to the extent contemplated by and in all respects consistent with Section 5 of this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 14.7(i), nothing shall prevent AZL, prior to the approval of the Transactions by the shareholders of AZL pursuant to the Arizona Business Corporation Act (the “ABCA Approval”), from furnishing non-public information (that is not confidential information of POP) to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other than an Affiliate of AZL, AZLA or AZLB) in connection with an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received from such Person (other than an Affiliate of AZL, AZLA or AZLB) prior to the ABCA Approval, so long as prior to furnishing non-public information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, (a) the Board of Directors of AZL determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LLP, that such Acquisition Proposal is likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, taking into account any revisions to the terms of the Transactions or this Agreement proposed by POP after being notified pursuant to this Section 14.7, (b) AZL is not then in breach of this Agreement, and (c) AZL enters into, and receives from such Person, an executed confidentiality agreement, which agreement shall not prohibit AZL from providing any information regarding the Acquisition Proposal to POP and which shall contain the same restrictions with respect to an Acquisition Proposal as those to which POP is subject pursuant to the confidentiality agreement into which it has entered with AZL. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of AZL from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal.

(iii) AZL further agrees that it shall (a) promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal) provide notice to POP (which notice shall be provided orally and in writing and shall identify the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and set forth the material terms thereof and shall include copies of any written materials that are a part of such Acquisition Proposal upon request by POP) of its receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or of its receipt of any request for information relating to AZL or for access to the properties, books or records of AZL by any Person that has made, or to AZL’s knowledge intends to make, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) keep POP informed of the status and any change in the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or request (including any material amendments or proposed material amendments (including copies thereof upon request by POP)) and (c) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of such determination) advise POP that AZL’s Board of Directors has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is likely to lead to a Superior Proposal. If POP, within five (5) business days after receiving all information required for any event described in clause (a) or (b), proposes to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated herein so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal (and during such time AZL shall negotiate in good faith with POP if POP indicates a desire to negotiate with AZL), then AZL shall no longer be entitled to act pursuant to Section 14.7(ii) and shall thereafter perform all of its obligations under this Agreement unless such other Person subsequently makes another Acquisition Proposal that satisfies the requirements of Section 14.7(ii).

(iv) AZL will, and AZL will cause the officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, consultants and other agents of AZL to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all discussions and negotiations, if any, that have taken place prior to the date of this Agreement with any parties with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. AZL agrees not to release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement to which AZL is or may become a party, and shall immediately take all steps necessary to terminate any approval that may have been heretofore given under any such provisions authorizing any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal.

14.8 Exchange Act Filings. AZL shall make all Exchange Act Filings on a timely basis. All such Exchange Act Filings shall be true, correct and complete and shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

14.9 Listing Application. AZL shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock to be listed for trading on the AMEX.

14.10 Operations of UPREIT. AZL shall cause the performance of the Transactions to be approved and duly authorized by all necessary action of the UPREIT. AZL shall cause the UPREIT to be duly formed and to duly adopt the UPREIT Agreement and at all times following its formation to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AZL and to not engage in any business activities or conduct any operations other than in connection with the Transactions.

14.11 Operations of Maryland Subsidiary. AZL shall cause the performance of the Transactions to be approved and duly authorized by all necessary action of the Maryland Subsidiary and the Surviving Corporation. AZL shall cause the Maryland Subsidiary to be duly organized and at all times following its formation until the Reincorporation to be a wholly owned subsidiary of AZL and to not engage in any business activities or conduct any operations other than in connection with the Reincorporation.

POP PROPERTIES.

15.1 Marketable Title. At Closing, the POP Properties shall be free and clear of all material liens, covenants, restrictions, easements, encumbrances, and other title exceptions or objections excepting, however, the Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined). Title to the POP Properties at Closing shall be good and marketable and as such will be insured by the Title Insurance Company at regular rates for regular risks, with such endorsements as the POP Members shall reasonably require.

15.2 Permitted Exceptions. As to each POP Property, the “Permitted Exceptions” are:

(i) real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(ii) covenants, restrictions, easements and other similar agreements, provided that the same are not violated by existing improvements or the current use and operation of the POP Property, or if so violated that the same do not materially impair the value of the POP Property and that the violation of the same will not result in a forfeiture or reversion of title;

(iii) zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, building codes and other governmental laws, regulations, rules and orders affecting such POP Property, provided that the same are not violated by existing improvements or the current use and operation of the POP Property, or if so violated that the same do not materially impair the value of the POP Property or that such violation will not result in a forfeiture or reversion of title;

(iv) any minor imperfection of title which (1) does not affect the current use, operation or enjoyment of an POP Property, (2) does not render title to such POP Property unmarketable or uninsurable, and (3) does not materially impair the value of the POP Property;

(v) the POP Properties Indebtedness encumbering such POP Property;

(vi) any leases with respect to such POP Property; and

(vii) as noted in any applicable Contribution Agreement.

15.3 No Subsequent Exception. From and after the date of this Agreement, POP shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, outside of the ordinary course of its business that would cause title to the POP Properties to be subject to any material title exceptions or objections, other than the Permitted Exceptions.

16.

RISK OF LOSS.

If prior to Closing (i) condemnation proceedings are commenced against all or any material portion of the POP Properties (other than a condemnation which does not materially and adversely affect the value of the POP Properties), or (ii) if any POP Property is damaged by an uninsured casualty to the extent that the cost of repairing such damage shall be Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or more based on the good faith estimate of an independent contractor selected by POP, then POP and AZL shall have the right, upon notice in writing to the other party delivered within forty five (45) days after actual notice of such condemnation or fire or other casualty, to delete such POP Property from this Agreement, and thereupon the parties shall be released and discharged from any further obligations to each other with respect to such POP Property. If such POP Property is not deleted in the event of fire or other casualty or condemnation not giving rise to a right to terminate this Agreement, all of the proceeds of fire or other casualty insurance proceeds and the rent insurance proceeds payable with respect to the period prior to Closing or, of the condemnation award, as the case may be, shall be a part of the Closing.

17.

EXCLUSION OF SELECTED POP PROPERTIES.

If any POP Membership Interest(s) cannot be contributed as of the Closing Date due to the inability to obtain any requisite consent or estoppel certificate by any holder of POP Properties Indebtedness, or any tenant-in-common or joint venture partner, then POP shall have the right to delete from the Closing such POP Membership Interest and the POP Property encumbered by such POP Properties Indebtedness or tenancy-in-common or joint venture agreement, and to otherwise consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the Closing with a corresponding reduction in the units of the UPREIT issued at Closing. In the event POP exercises such right, POP shall have the further right with respect to each such POP Membership Interest to:

(a)

contribute such POP Membership Interest(s) to the UPREIT as if originally a part of the contribution pursuant to this Agreement, provided that all requisite consents and estoppel certificates by holders of POP Properties Indebtedness, or any tenant-in-common or joint venture partner, to which such POP Property is subject are obtained and POP provides AZL notice of the exercise of this right no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing;

(b)

authorize the retention of such POP Property(s) by the POP Affiliate(s) then in possession, and thereafter such POP Affiliate(s) shall have the right to continue to own, operate and dispose of its respective interest in such POP Property(s) notwithstanding any non-competition agreement of the POP Affiliate with the UPREIT; or

(c)

cause the UPREIT and the applicable POP Affiliate(s) to enter into a master lease of such POP Affiliate’s respective interest in such POP Property(s), under which the applicable POP Affiliate, as master lessor, shall receive annual net rent in the amount of the UPREIT distributions that would have been paid to holders of the Common and Preferred Units that would have been issued upon contribution of the applicable POP Property. Under any such master lease, the POP Affiliate and the UPREIT shall, subject to the consent of any holder of POP Properties Indebtedness secured by such POP Property (or the consent of any tenant-in-common under a tenancy-in-common agreement, or a joint venture partner under a joint venture agreement, as the case may be), respectively, have put and call rights, at the agreed value of the POP Membership Interest with respect to the POP Property under this Agreement, to respectively cause the UPREIT to acquire and the POP Member to contribute the POP Membership Interests in respect of such POP Property in exchange for UPREIT Common and Preferred Units as if originally a part of the contribution pursuant to this Agreement.

23.2 Although POP and AZL intend that no real estate transfer or recording fees or taxes will be due in connection with the contribution of the POP Membership Interests, if it is finally determined that such taxes are due and payable in connection herewith, such real estate transfer or recording fees or taxes shall be paid by the party who customarily pays such costs in a substantial commercial transaction in such jurisdiction.

23.3 The POP Members and AZL shall each pay their own due diligence costs and legal, brokerage, lenders, investment banking and accounting costs and fees related to the Transaction and preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, AZL shall cause the UPREIT to pay all documented third party investment banking and other transaction costs incurred by POP and POP Affiliates and payable at the Closing; when such payment is made, the value of the contribution deemed made by the POP Members shall be reduced in the corresponding amount and the number of Common and Preferred Units issuable to the POP Members shall be correspondingly reduced.

promptly replace any POP Properties that are condemned or lost to casualty;

(b)

provide, in the event of an unavoidable loss of mortgage indebtedness allocable as basis to any POP Properties, whether through transfer of ownership of an POP Property to a taxable subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation or otherwise, an opportunity for the POP Members in question to replace such indebtedness for tax basis purposes with a surrogate for lost basis in the form of a liquidation-based guaranty of a sufficient quantity of UPREIT payables and obligations outstanding at any time; and

(c)

provide, in the event of an inability of the UPREIT to comply with the above parameters, a make-whole cash payment by the UPREIT to the POP Members in the full amount of all state and federal tax obligations incurred by them pursuant to special allocations of built-in gain made to them as a result of the sale, defeasance or failure of replacement of a contributed POP Property (or membership interests or other equity interests in the POP Affiliates or successors thereto), in the full amount of the resulting state and federal tax obligations of the POP Members (at the maximum personal rate), plus a gross-up payment sufficient to defray the state and federal taxes applicable to such make-whole payment.

24.3 Without limitation of the above, at such time as any sale or defeasance of a POP Property (or membership interests or other equity interests in the POP Affiliates or successors thereto) is foreseeable, or a condemnation or casualty has occurred or is in process (in the case of a condemnation), the UPREIT shall promptly notify the relevant POP Members of such known facts, and shall provide them with full disclosure of the operative circumstances, and an opportunity to provide input with respect to the determination of the strategy for perpetuating tax deferral.

29.

MISCELLANEOUS.

29.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with its Exhibits and Schedules) constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transactions, and all prior or contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings, representations and statements, and all prior written agreements, understandings, letters of intent and proposals, in each case with respect to the Transactions, are hereby superseded and rendered null and void and of no further force and effect. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.

29.2 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by POP or AZL or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should be on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery shall be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. As used herein, the term “legal holiday” means any state or federal holiday for which financial institutions or post offices are generally closed in the State of Illinois for observance thereof.

29.3 Conditions Precedent. The waiver of any particular condition precedent to either party’s obligations hereunder shall not constitute the waiver of any other. POP and AZL shall each have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any Condition Precedent for its benefit contained in this Agreement.

29.4 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both POP and AZL have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement. The headings of various Sections in this Agreement

are for convenience only, and are not to be utilized in construing the content or meaning of the substantive provisions hereof.

29.5 Governing Law Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. The parties: (x) agree that any suit, action or legal proceeding relating to this Agreement may be brought in any federal court located in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area, if federal jurisdiction is available, and, otherwise, in any state court located in such metropolitan area; (y) consent to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and (z) waive any objection which they may have to the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in either such court. Further, the parties hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Illinois courts, both state and federal, and hereby waive any and all objections now or hereafter existing to personal jurisdiction of said courts over them. The parties waive, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any right they may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance with this section.

29.6 Partial Invalidity. The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity or enforceability of any one provision shall not affect the validity of enforceability of any other provision hereof.

29.7 Certain Securities Matters. No sale of units in the UPREIT is intended by the parties by virtue of their execution of this Agreement. Any sale of units in the UPREIT referred to in this Agreement will occur, if at all, upon Closing.

29.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any of which may contain the signatures of less than all parties, and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement.

29.9 Calculation of Time Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any period of time provided for in this Agreement that is intended to expire on or prior to the Closing Date, but that would extend beyond the Closing Date if permitted to run its full term, shall be deemed to expire upon Closing.

29.10 Benefit. This Agreement is for the benefit only of the parties hereto, the POP Affiliates, the POP Members, the UPREIT and their respective nominees, successors, beneficiaries and permitted assignees and no other person or entity shall be entitled to rely hereon, receive any benefit herefrom or enforce against any party hereto any provision hereof.

29.11 No Survival. Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Agreement, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered by the parties pursuant to this Agreement (other than the agreements, covenants and obligations set forth herein which are contemplated to be performed after the Closing) shall not survive the Closing.

29.12 Fax Signatures. Any signature page hereto delivered by a fax machine or telecopy machine shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page, with regard to any agreement subject to the terms hereof or any amendment thereto. Any party who delivers such a signature page agrees to later deliver an original counterpart to any party that requests it.

29.13 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the

language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law, statute, rule or regulation will be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The use of the word “including” and similar expressions means “including without limitation” and unless the context otherwise requires, “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” shall not be exclusive. Unless otherwise noted, all references to sections, exhibits and schedules are to sections, exhibits and schedules to this Agreement. All words used in this Agreement shall be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. All references to agreements hereunder include all exhibits and schedules to such agreements and shall mean such agreements as they may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

Schedule 2C

Terms and Conditions of Preferred Units



Issuer		UPREIT.

Liquidation Preference Per Unit		$25.00.

Maturity Date		Perpetual unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Ranking		Preferred Units shall be senior and shall have preference and priority to the Surviving Corporation Common Stock and Common Units of the UPREIT with respect to dividends, distributions and liquidation. In addition, the Preferred Units shall be, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Surviving Corporation and the UPREIT: (i) junior to all existing and future debt obligations of the UPREIT; (ii) on a parity with any other classes or series of preferred securities issued out of the UPREIT; and (iii) junior to all existing and future liabilities of any subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation and the UPREIT.

Distribution and Payment Dates		Cumulative, commencing on the date of issuance and payable in arrears Cash distribution yield is as follows: (i) two percent (2%) of the liquidation preference beginning on, and continuing until the day prior to the first (1st) anniversary of, the Closing Date; (ii) three percent (3%) of the liquidation preference beginning on the first (1st) anniversary of, and continuing until the day prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of, the Closing Date; (iii) four percent (4%) of the liquidation preference beginning on the second (2nd) anniversary of, and continuing until the day prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of, the Closing Date;


		(iv) five percent (5%) of the liquidation preference beginning on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date and continuing thereafter.

Conversion Rights		Holders may surrender their Preferred Units, in integral multiples of $25.00 principal amount, for conversion into Common Units at any time after (a) the second anniversary of the Closing and (b) the consummation of a public offering of Surviving Corporation Common Stock in an amount equal to or greater than $75,000,000.

		The initial conversion premium is twenty-five percent (25%) and the initial conversion rate for the Preferred Units is 7.1717 Common Units per $25.00 of liquidation preference of Preferred Units. This is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.49 per Preferred Unit (assuming the Special Dividend is declared), subject to customary anti-dilution protections in the event of any changes in the capital structure of AZL, including but not limited to, the Reverse Stock Split.

Redemption		The Preferred Units are not redeemable by the Surviving Corporation for cash and are not redeemable by the Surviving Corporation until the fifth anniversary date of the issuance. If the closing price of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock exceeds one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the conversion price for twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, at any time after the fifth anniversary date of the Closing, the Surviving Corporation will have the option to exercise a conversion right, requiring the holder to convert their Preferred Units into Common Units using the specified conversion ratio mentioned herein.


Preservation of REIT Status		The UPREIT may redeem the Preferred Units for cash at any time after the commencement date of this offering if necessary to preserve the REIT status of the Surviving Corporation.

Purchase of Preferred Units at Option of Holder		On fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, a Preferred Unit holder may require the Surviving Corporation to purchase any outstanding Preferred Units for the following consideration selected by the Surviving Corporation in its sole discretion: (i) cash at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Units being offered plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, up to, but excluding, the purchase date; or (ii) a five (5)-year note at market interest rate at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Units being offered plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, up to, but excluding, the purchase date.

Form and Denomination		The Preferred Units will be issued in minimum denominations of $25.00 and any integral multiple of $25.00.

Conversion Rate Adjustments		The conversion rate will be adjusted for all cash dividends or distributions to all or substantially all holders of shares of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock or holders of Common Units in excess of the Initial Dividend Yield. Conversion rate adjustment is based on the following formula: R1= R x M (M - C) where, R1= the adjusted conversion rate;

R = the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the time of determination (as defined below);

M = the average sale price for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for the distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per share the Surviving Corporation distributes to holders of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock and UPREIT Common Units in excess of the amount that would have been payable under the Initial Dividend Yield.

The conversion rate will also be equitably adjusted for dividends or distributions to all or substantially all holders of shares of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock payable in shares of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock or other capital stock or distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Units payable in Common Units or other partnership units.
