The Second Closing shall be deemed to have been consummated at 12:01 a.m. on the Second Closing Date.

(ii) any Tenant Encumbered Property (or the Company or Purchased Subsidiary that owns or has the right to use such Tenant Encumbered Property, so long as such Company or Purchased Subsidiary does not own or have the right to use any other Real Property) which is subject to any unobtained Required Tenant Waiver and (iii) any JV Encumbered Property (or the Company or Purchased Subsidiary that owns or has the right to use such JV Encumbered Property, so long as such Company or Purchased Subsidiary does not own or have the right to use any other Real Property) with respect to which a JV Redemption has not been effected (any of the Lender Encumbered Properties, Tenant Encumbered Properties or JV Encumbered Properties (or any of the Companies or Purchased Subsidiaries that owns or has the right to use any of the foregoing) which is excluded from the Third Closing pursuant to the foregoing clauses, (i), (ii) or (iii), together with any Real Property excluded from any Closing pursuant to Sections 2.9(c) or 2.11, a “Withheld Property”), in which event, (A) any such Withheld Property shall not be transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (B) Buyer and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement relating to any such Withheld Property and (C) any such Withheld Property shall cease to be considered “Real Property”, a “Company” or a “Purchased Subsidiary” hereunder, as applicable. (e) The Parties hereby acknowledge that each Lender that provides a Lender Consent may do so upon such terms and conditions (including with respect to timing and schedule), as are agreed upon between the Parties and such Lender. Notwithstanding any difference between the provisions of this Agreement and the timing and scheduling terms and conditions of any Lender Consent, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other and to use Reasonable Efforts to cause the Closings to occur on the Closing Dates provided for in this Section 2.5 and otherwise as expeditiously as practicable. In the event that any Lender requires that a Closing with respect to the applicable Lender Encumbered Property take place on a date other than the Closing Dates provided for in this Section 2.5, the Parties will agree to hold a Closing on such date and all applicable provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such Closing mutatis mutandis. (f) The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are for the purchase and sale of the Companies and the Purchased Subsidiaries and that it is intended that such entities do not own or lease (directly or indirectly) any real property other than the Real Property and certain assets related thereto. If the Parties determine at any time prior to the applicable Closing that any Company or Purchased Subsidiary owns or has the right to use any asset or property (including any real property) other than the Real Property and assets related specifically to same (including any Defected Property that is intended to be excluded from this Agreement), the Parties shall take such actions as are necessary (including by amending, modifying or supplementing this Agreement, the annexes or exhibits hereto or the Disclosure Schedule, whether to provide for additional Sellers, Companies or Purchased Subsidiaries hereto, or otherwise) in order to provide that the Companies and Purchased Subsidiaries conveyed to Buyer at the Closings only own or have the right to use the Real Property that are to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement and are required to meet the obligations of such Company or Purchased Subsidiary as landlord under the applicable Property Lease and no other asset or property (including any real property). In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including anything in Section 6.1), but subject to the prior written approval of Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), prior to the applicable Closing (it being agreed and understood that Buyer hereby consents to Seller taking the actions set forth in Section 2.5(f) of the Disclosure Schedule), Seller, the Companies and the Purchased Subsidiaries shall be expressly permitted to take such actions as are necessary and effect such internal restructurings as are necessary (including by distributing, dividending, assigning or otherwise transferring any assets, property (including real property), Persons or equity interests) in order to ensure that the only assets owned by the Companies and the Purchased Subsidiaries are the Real Property that are to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement and the Persons (or the equity interests in such Persons) that own or have the right to use such Real Property. (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the term “Closing”, as it is used in this Agreement, shall refer to any of the Initial Closing, the Second Closing or the Third Closing, as applicable, and (ii) the term “Closing Date” shall refer to any of the Initial Closing Date, the Second Closing Date or the Third Closing Date, as applicable.
