Auction Details

- Prior to each Auction, the Round 2 Debtors and their advisors will evaluate Qualified Bids and identify the highest or otherwise best Bid (the "Starting Bid"). Where a Stalking Horse Bidder is selected, the Starting Bid shall include the amount of the Stalking Horse Bid, plus the amount of any Bid Protections, plus a minimum overbid increment determined by the Round 2 Debtors and announced at the Auction.
- In evaluating Qualified Bids, the Round 2 Debtors will initially consider:
- The amount of the Purchase Price;
- The amount of secured claims satisfied by the Bid;
- After payment of secured claims, the value to the Round 2 Debtors' estates, taking into account any Stalking Horse Bidder's rights to Bid Protections;
- Proposed changes to the form purchase agreement and the comparative favorability of the terms versus any Stalking Horse Agreement; and
- Transaction structure and execution risk, including conditions to, timing of, and certainty of closing; termination provisions; financing availability; and required governmental or other approvals.
- If multiple Qualified Bids provide a cash Purchase Price exceeding KeyBank's secured claim for the applicable Round 2 Debtor, additional factors include:
- Assets and liabilities excluded from the Qualified Bid and any executory contracts, leases, or other liabilities proposed to be assumed;
- Any benefit to the estates from any assumption or waiver of liabilities;
- The certainty of the Qualified Bid leading to a confirmed chapter 11 plan; and
- Any other factors the Round 2 Debtors may reasonably deem relevant consistent with their fiduciary duties.
- Auction Procedures, among others, include:
- The Auctions will be conducted openly and transcribed or recorded;
- Only Qualified Bidders, including any Stalking Horse Bidders, may bid at the Auctions;
- Qualified Bidders shall appear in person, unless the Round 2 Debtors permit participation via remote video; remote bidding is permitted with the Round 2 Debtors' consent;
- Bidding will begin at the applicable Starting Bid, with subsequent bids in minimum increments to be determined by the Round 2 Debtors and announced at the Auction;
- Each Qualified Bidder will be permitted a reasonable time to respond to prior bids;
- No Qualified Bidders may communicate, collude, or coordinate with one another, except that two or more Qualified Bidders may submit a combined bid with the Round 2 Debtors' approval;
- The Auction will not close until all Qualified Bidders have been given a reasonable opportunity to submit an overbid, subject to the Round 2 Debtors' right to require last and final bids on a "blind" basis;
- The Round 2 Debtors reserve the right to adjourn the Auction one or more times.
- When determining the highest or otherwise best Qualified Bid, the Round 2 Debtors may consider, among other factors: (a) the amount and nature of the total consideration; (b) the likelihood and timing of closing; (c) net economic effect of changes to value; (d) tax consequences; and (e) the certainty of confirming a chapter 11 plan.
- The Round 2 Debtors shall promptly file notice of the Successful Bid(s) and Successful Bidder(s) with the Court and seek Court approval at the applicable Sale Hearing to enter into definitive documentation on the terms of the Successful Bid(s) (the "Sale Order").
- The Qualified Bidder(s) submitting the second highest or otherwise best Bid(s) shall be designated the Backup Bidder(s) within one (1) business day after the conclusion of the Auction. Each Backup Bid must remain open and irrevocable until closing of the transaction with the applicable Successful Bidder. If a Successful Bidder fails to consummate, the Backup Bidder shall automatically be deemed to have submitted the Successful Bid and shall be required to consummate the applicable Sale without further order of the Court.
Assumption and Assignment Procedures
- The Round 2 Debtors shall file and serve a Cure Notice on the applicable Contract Counterparties via first class mail, electronic mail, or overnight delivery, identifying: (i) the Assigned Contracts that may be assumed and assigned; (ii) the applicable Contract Counterparties; (iii) the Round 2 Debtors' good faith estimate of the Cure Costs; and (iv) the deadline for filing a Cure Objection.
- Cure Objections must be in writing, comply with applicable Bankruptcy Rules and Local Rules, state with specificity the nature of the objection (and, if pertaining to Cure Costs, the alleged correct cure amount with supporting documentation), and be filed by the Cure Objection Deadline.
- Any Cure Objection that remains unresolved after the applicable Sale Hearing shall be heard at a later date as agreed by the parties or fixed by the Court. To the extent unresolved, the Contract may be conditionally assumed and assigned, subject to the Successful Bidder's consent. If a Cure Objection relates solely to Cure Costs (a "Cure Dispute"), the Contract may be assumed and assigned provided that the cure amount asserted (or such lower amount as agreed) is deposited in an interest-free segregated account pending resolution.
- If the Round 2 Debtors discover Contracts inadvertently omitted from the Cure Notice or inaccuracies in Cure Costs, they may file a Supplemental Cure Notice. Supplemental Cure Objections must be filed no later than fourteen (14) days following the filing of the Supplemental Cure Notice.
- Failure to timely file a Cure Objection or Supplemental Cure Objection will result in (i) the Cure Costs set forth in the applicable notice being controlling and (ii) the Contract Counterparty being deemed to have consented to the assumption and assignment and forever barred from objecting or asserting any other claims related to such Contract.
- Inclusion of an Assigned Contract in the Cure Notice does not obligate the Round 2 Debtors to assume any such Contract or constitute any admission that such Contract is an executory contract or unexpired lease. Only those Assigned Contracts included on a schedule attached to a Successful Bidder's Asset Purchase Agreement will be assumed and assigned.
Sale Free and Clear & Successor Liability
- The Round 2 Debtors seek to sell the Assets free and clear of any and all claims, interests, and encumbrances, including any successor liability.
- To the greatest extent allowable by applicable law, the Successful Bidder shall not be deemed, as a result of any action taken in connection with the Stalking Horse Agreement (or another Successful Bidder's purchase agreement), the consummation of the Sale, or the transfer or operation of the Assets, to (a) be a legal successor, or otherwise be deemed a successor to the applicable Round 2 Debtor (other than as an assignee under the Assigned Contracts arising after the effective date); (b) have, de facto or otherwise, merged with or into the Debtor; or (c) be an alter ego or mere continuation or substantial continuation of the Debtor, including, without limitation, within the meaning of any foreign, federal, state, or local revenue law, pension law, ERISA, COBRA, the WARN Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the National Labor Relations Act, environmental liabilities, tax liabilities, or any products liability law or doctrine.
- All rights of any party to set off any claims, debts, or obligations owed by or to the Successful Bidder in connection with the Assets shall be extinguished on the effective date pursuant to the Sale Order.
- Other than as expressly set forth in the Stalking Horse Agreement (or another Successful Bidder's purchase agreement, as applicable) with respect to assumed liabilities, the Successful Bidder shall not have any responsibility for any liability or other obligation of the applicable Round 2 Debtor or related to the Assets, or any claims (as defined in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the applicable Round 2 Debtor or any of its predecessors or affiliates.
Reservation of Rights and Fiduciary Out
- The Round 2 Debtors reserve their rights to modify the Bidding Procedures in their reasonable business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties, including by: (a) extending deadlines; (b) adjourning the Auction; (c) modifying the Auction Procedures; (d) canceling an Auction; (e) rejecting any or all Bids or Qualified Bids; and (f) adjusting the applicable minimum overbid increment, including by requesting last or final bids on a "blind" basis.
- The Round 2 Debtors reserve the right at any point prior to the selection of a Successful Bidder to terminate the respective Sale processes with respect to any or all Assets and seek to sell any or all Assets pursuant to section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
- To the extent there is any inconsistency between the Bidding Procedures Order or the Bidding Procedures and the Cash Collateral Order, the Cash Collateral Order shall control.
- Nothing in the Bidding Procedures shall require the Round 2 Debtors to take or refrain from taking any action that would be inconsistent with applicable law or their fiduciary obligations, and the Round 2 Debtors and their advisors retain the right to consider, respond to, and facilitate alternate proposals.

- KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") shall have the absolute, unconditional, and continuing right to credit bid on a dollar-for-dollar basis all or any portion of their secured claims arising under their mortgage lien on the Latitude property, including any accrued interest, fees, costs, expenses, protective advances, and other amounts recoverable under the applicable loan documents.
- KeyBank and Fannie Mae shall be deemed Qualified Bidders for all purposes and shall be entitled to submit a credit bid at any time, including at the auction, without submitting a written bid, deposit, or other bid materials in advance of the Bid Deadline. Any credit bid submitted by KeyBank shall not be subject to the Potential Bidder Requirements, Bid Requirements, or other similar provisions of the Bidding Procedures.
- If KeyBank submits a credit bid, such credit bid shall be subject to the Carve Out for the relevant Debtor, such that the credit bid must contain a cash component sufficient to cover any funding shortfall for professional fees under the applicable Cash Collateral Order that have not been fully funded through deposits to the professional fee Escrow Account.
Auction Details
- If one or more Qualified Bids are received by the Qualified Bid Deadline for each sale, the LAE Debtors shall conduct an auction. If no Qualified Bids other than a stalking horse bid are received, the LAE Debtors may cancel the auction and designate the stalking horse bid as the Successful Bid.
- The auctions will be held at the office of Porter Hedges LLP, 1000 Main Street, 36th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002. The auctions will be conducted openly and transcribed or recorded.
- Only authorized representatives of each Qualified Bidder (including any stalking horse bidders), the LAE Debtors, and their respective advisors shall be permitted to attend the auctions.
- Bidding will begin at the applicable Starting Bid, and each Qualified Bidder will be permitted a reasonable time to respond to previous bids. No Qualified Bidders may communicate with one another, collude, or otherwise coordinate for purposes of participating in an auction, except that two or more Qualified Bidders may coordinate to provide a combined bid with the LAE Debtors' approval.
- The auctions will not close until all Qualified Bidders have been given a reasonable opportunity to submit an overbid, subject to the LAE Debtors' right to require last and final bids on a blind basis. The LAE Debtors reserve the right to adjourn the auctions one or more times.
- In evaluating Qualified Bids, the LAE Debtors will consider: the purchase price; the amount of secured claims satisfied; the net economic effect upon the estates (taking into account any bid protections); the comparative favorability of the proposed purchase agreement terms; and transaction structure and execution risk, including conditions to closing, termination provisions, availability of financing, and required governmental approvals.
- In the event multiple Qualified Bids provide a cash purchase price exceeding KeyBank's secured claim for the applicable LAE Debtor, the LAE Debtors will also consider: the assets and liabilities excluded; any benefit from assumption or waiver of liabilities; the certainty of a Qualified Bid leading to a confirmed chapter 11 plan; and any other factors the LAE Debtors reasonably deem relevant.
- The Backup Bidder shall be required to keep its Qualified Bid open and irrevocable until the closing of the transaction with the Successful Bidder. If a Successful Bidder fails to consummate the purchase, the Backup Bidder will automatically be deemed to have submitted the Successful Bid and shall be required to consummate the sale without further Court order.
Assumption and Assignment
- The LAE Debtors shall file and serve a Cure Notice on non-Debtor contract counterparties listing the contracts that may be assumed and assigned in connection with the applicable sale, the proposed cure costs, and the deadline for objections.
- Cure Objections must be in writing, state with specificity the nature of the objection and, if pertaining to cure costs, the amount alleged to be owed together with supporting documentation, and be filed by the applicable Cure Objection Deadline.
- If no timely Cure Objection is filed, the cure costs set forth in the Cure Notice shall be controlling, and the counterparty will be deemed to have consented to the assumption and assignment and will be forever barred from asserting any additional claims or defaults related to such contract.
- If a Cure Objection cannot be resolved by the parties, the contract shall be assumed and assigned only upon satisfactory resolution, to be determined in the Successful Bidder's reasonable discretion. If a Cure Objection relates solely to cure costs, the contract may be assumed and assigned provided the disputed cure amount is deposited in an interest-free segregated account pending adjudication or consensual resolution.
- The LAE Debtors may, after consultation with the Successful Bidder, at any time before closing supplement the Cure Notice to add previously omitted contracts or modify previously stated cure costs. Objections to a Supplemental Cure Notice must be filed within 14 days of the filing of such notice.
Sale Free and Clear & Successor Liability
- The sale order is expected to provide that the Successful Bidder will have no responsibility for, and the assets will be sold free and clear of, any successor liability.
- To the greatest extent allowable by applicable law, the Successful Bidder shall not be deemed a legal successor to the Debtor, shall not be deemed to have merged with or into the Debtor, and shall not be deemed an alter ego or mere continuation of the Debtor, including within the meaning of any revenue, pension, employment, environmental, products liability, or tax laws.
- Other than assumed liabilities expressly set forth in the applicable purchase agreement, the Successful Bidder shall have no responsibility for any liability or obligation of the Debtor or related to the assets, and all setoff rights shall be extinguished on the effective date.
Secured Creditor Rights
- All proceeds of any sale shall be paid at closing to the applicable secured creditor to satisfy secured obligations in accordance with the relative priority of valid, perfected, and unavoidable liens, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the applicable secured creditor.
- All valid, perfected liens and security interests in the property subject to the sale shall attach to the proceeds with the same validity, priority, force, and effect as immediately prior to the sale.
- No sale shall be approved unless the purchase price is sufficient to satisfy in full the secured obligations of the applicable secured creditor or is otherwise consented to by the secured creditor.
- The LAE Debtors shall consult in good faith with the applicable secured creditor regarding all material aspects of the sale process, including bidder qualification, bid evaluation, and selection of the Successful Bidder.
- To the extent there is any inconsistency between the Bidding Procedures Order and the Cash Collateral Orders, the Cash Collateral Orders shall control.

- If no Stalking Horse Objection is timely filed and served, the Debtors' selection of Weidner, entry into the Agreement, and the Bid Protections will be deemed approved without further order of the Court upon expiration of the Objection Deadline.
Alternate Bids and Auction
- The Agreement is subject to Seller's consideration of higher or better competing bids, and the Property will be subjected to further marketing and a competitive bidding process, including, under certain circumstances, an auction (the "Auction"), all in accordance with the Bidding Procedures.
- If Purchaser is not the successful bidder, Purchaser must serve as a back-up bidder (so long as its final bid is the next highest bid submitted) and keep its bid open and irrevocable until the earlier of (i) the second business day after closing of the sale with the bidder who submitted the Alternative Bid, and (ii) sixty days after the conclusion of the Auction.
Assumption and Assignment of Service Contracts
- Exhibit I sets forth all Service Contracts in effect as of the Effective Date, together with Seller's good-faith estimate of the cure amount required under §365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for each (each, an "Estimated Cure Amount").
- Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing no later than five Business Days prior to the sale approval hearing (the "Assumption Election Deadline"), designating each Service Contract as either an "Assumed Service Contract" or a "Rejected Service Contract." Any Service Contract not timely designated, not listed on Exhibit I, or not consented to by Purchaser is deemed a Rejected Service Contract.
- Service Contracts identified on Exhibit I as "Must-Take Service Contracts" shall be Assumed Service Contracts, which Purchaser may not designate as Rejected unless the Cure Amount for any individual Must-Take Service Contract exceeds $35,000 or the aggregate Cure Amounts for all Assumed Service Contracts exceed the Cure Cap.
- Seller is responsible for and shall pay all Cure Amounts for Assumed Service Contracts, up to the Cure Cap, and shall file a cure notice identifying all Assumed Service Contracts and the applicable Estimated Cure Amounts. Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser copies of all cure objections received and shall not settle any cure objection exceeding $15,000 without Purchaser's prior written consent.
- If the aggregate Cure Amounts exceed $200,000 (the "Cure Cap"), Purchaser may, within five Business Days of notice, either (i) request a dollar-for-dollar Purchase Price reduction for the excess (which Seller has two Business Days to accept, failing which Purchaser may terminate and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit), or (ii) waive the Cure Cap and proceed to Closing, with Purchaser responsible for Cure Amounts in excess of the Cure Cap. In lieu of terminating, Purchaser may instead remove one or more Assumed Service Contracts from the assumption schedule to bring the aggregate Cure Amounts within the Cure Cap, provided such removal is made before the deadline for filing amended assumption schedules.
- If any Cure Amount is subject to a pending objection or dispute as of Closing (a "Disputed Cure Claim"), the parties shall nevertheless proceed to Closing and Seller shall deposit the maximum Disputed Cure Claim amount into a Cure Escrow; the Cure Escrow obligation survives Closing.
Conditions to Closing
- Conditions precedent to Seller's obligations include that Purchaser's material representations are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that Purchaser has complied with its covenants in all material respects.
- Conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligations include that Seller's representations are true and correct in all material respects, that Seller has complied with its covenants in all material respects, that the Title Company is irrevocably prepared to issue its title policy subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and that Seller has obtained Bankruptcy Court approval of the transaction (including issuance of the Sale Order).
Closing
- Closing shall occur on or before the later of (i) seven days after expiration or earlier waiver of the Inspection Period, and (ii) seven days after entry of the Sale Order.
- At Closing, Seller shall deliver a Special Warranty Deed conveying the Property in indefeasible fee simple, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, or exception (pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(f)) other than the Permitted Exceptions.
Closing Costs and Prorations
- Seller shall pay specified Closing costs, including its attorneys' fees, the cost of the title examination and the owner's policy premium, the costs of releasing the Project from existing mortgages and consensual liens, one-half of the Title Company's escrow/closing charges, and one-half of all transfer taxes, documentary stamp taxes, deed taxes, and deed recording fees (to the extent not exempt under section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or the Sale Order).
- Seller shall use diligent efforts to deliver all Vacant Units in Rent Ready Condition at Closing; if any Vacant Unit is not in Rent Ready Condition, Seller shall credit Purchaser the Rent Ready Credit ($1,200.00 per such Vacant Unit) at Closing. A "Vacant Unit" is a unit unoccupied as of Closing that was vacated by its most recent tenant at least ten days before Closing.
- Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to all Tenant Deposits (including prepaid rents) to which Tenants are entitled under the Tenant Leases.
Default and Remedies
- If Purchaser fails to consummate the Agreement for any reason other than Seller's default, Seller's sole remedy is to terminate and retain the Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages.
- If Seller fails to consummate the Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser's default, Purchaser's sole remedy is to select one of: (i) terminate, receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, and be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket third-party fees, costs, and expenses not to exceed $50,000.00 in the aggregate; (ii) purchase the Project notwithstanding the default; or (iii) enforce specific performance of Seller's obligation to convey the Project.
- In any litigation between the parties regarding the Agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, provided that Seller's attorneys' and professional fees related to the Bankruptcy Case remain Seller's responsibility.
Casualty and Condemnation
- If the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, Closing is automatically extended on a day-by-day basis for up to fifteen days (extendable an additional fifteen days at Purchaser's election) while Seller determines the cost of repair, with termination and insurance-proceeds assignment rights keyed to whether the estimated repair cost is at least $1,000,000.00.
- In the event of condemnation or sale in lieu of condemnation of all or any material portion of the Project, each of Purchaser and Seller may, within ten days after notice, elect to terminate its obligations or have the Agreement remain in effect, with condemnation proceeds assigned to Purchaser if the parties proceed.
- In any casualty or condemnation, Seller's final decision and obligations, including disbursement of insurance or condemnation proceeds, are subject to the consent and approval of Seller's lender (the "Lender").
Sale Free and Clear and Successor Liability
- Seller is selling the Property free and clear of (i) all liens, interests, claims, or encumbrances, and (ii) successor, transferee, or vicarious liability of Seller, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363(f) and otherwise.
- The Sale Order is to provide, among other things, that the Property is transferred free and clear of all liens, encumbrances (other than Permitted Exceptions), and claims; that Purchaser has acted in "good faith" and is entitled to the protections of section 363(m); that the Agreement is not subject to avoidance under section 363(n); and that the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction over related disputes.
- The Agreement is an agreement for the sale of assets, and Purchaser shall not assume or be liable for any debts, liabilities, or obligations of Seller, including obligations to creditors, shareholders, or owners, obligations relating to acts or transactions occurring before, on, or after Closing, tax obligations, or contingent liabilities.
Broker Fees
- Seller and Purchaser each agree to pay any commissions they respectively contracted for; Seller agrees to pay the commission due to Cushman & Wakefield of Georgia, LLC (the "Broker") pursuant to a separate agreement.
Assignment
- Purchaser may not assign the Agreement without Seller's express written consent, which may be withheld in Seller's sole discretion, provided that Purchaser may, upon written notice, assign to an affiliate or to an entity in which Purchaser or an affiliate is the general partner or managing member, with such assignee assuming Purchaser's obligations in writing and Purchaser remaining liable.
Governing Law and Bankruptcy Matters
- The Agreement is governed by the substantive federal laws of the United States, including the Bankruptcy Code, and the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located, with the Bankruptcy Court retaining exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the Agreement and the Sale Order.
- If there is any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and any order issued by the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Court's order controls.
- Seller will pursue diligently entry of the Bidding Procedures Order (including approval of the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement) and the Sale Order, unless Seller concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside advisors, that doing so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties and a more favorable alternative transaction is reasonably available.

Asset Purchase Agreement and Sale Approval

- The Cure Notice will identify contracts that may be assumed and assigned, the applicable counterparties, the Morgan Debtor’s proposed Cure Costs and the deadline to object to assumption, assignment, cure or adequate assurance.
- A Cure Objection must be filed in writing, state the specific basis for the objection and, if challenging Cure Costs, identify the asserted cure amount with supporting documentation.
- Unresolved objections may be heard after the Sale Hearing. A contract subject solely to a Cure Cost dispute may be assigned if the asserted cure amount, or a lower agreed amount, is deposited in an interest-free segregated account pending adjudication or consensual resolution.
- The Morgan Debtor may file a Supplemental Cure Notice before closing to add omitted contracts or revise Cure Costs. Supplemental Cure Objections are due by 5 p.m. prevailing Central Time 14 days after the Supplemental Cure Notice is filed.
- Failure to timely object will result in the applicable Cure Costs being deemed correct and consent to assumption and assignment, and will bar later challenges to the cure amount or the Successful Bidder’s adequate assurance of future performance.
- Listing a contract on a Cure Notice does not require its assumption or assignment. Only contracts included on the assumed-contract schedule attached to the Successful Bidder’s asset purchase agreement will be assumed and assigned.
Sale Free and Clear and Successor Liability
- The Morgan Debtor seeks authority to transfer the Assets free and clear of liens, claims, rights, interests, charges and encumbrances, other than any assumed encumbrances, with nonassumed interests either paid at closing or attaching to the net Sale proceeds, subject to the Morgan Debtor’s claims and defenses.
- The Sale Order is expected to provide, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, that the Successful Bidder is not a legal successor, alter ego, mere continuation or substantial continuation of the Morgan Debtor and bears no successor or vicarious liability except for expressly assumed liabilities and post-effective-date obligations under Assigned Contracts.
Reservation of Rights
- Subject to its fiduciary duties, the Morgan Debtor may extend deadlines, adjourn or cancel the Auction, modify Auction procedures, reject bids, adjust the minimum overbid increment or terminate the Sale process before selecting the Successful Bidder.
- At any time before entry of an order approving the Successful Bid, the Morgan Debtor may reject a bid that is inadequate, noncompliant with the Bankruptcy Code or Bidding Procedures, or contrary to the interests of its estate and creditors.
- If the Bidding Procedures or Bidding Procedures Order conflict with the Final Cash Collateral Order, the Final Cash Collateral Order controls.
