Article II
EFFECTS OF THE MERGER; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Exchange Agent. At or before the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company stock transfer agent reasonably satisfactory to Gadsden to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration, Gadsden Awards, and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 (such certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock or other capital stock of the Parent deposited with the Exchange Agent, are collectively referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). On or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock, the Parent Series A Stock, Parent Series B Stock and Parent Series C Stock sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares or Gadsden Awards. The Exchange Agent shall make payments of the Merger Consideration, and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(d) or otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.10 out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

Section 2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter), Purchaser shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (or book entry record in lieu of any such certificate) that represents any class or series of Gadsden capital stock, including any Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares (each, a “Gadsden Share Certificate”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced outstanding capital stock of Gadsden of any such class or series whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4(b):

(i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be affected and risk of loss and title to the Gadsden Share Certificates shall pass only upon delivery of the Gadsden Share Certificates (or documents to effect a book entry transfer) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Company may reasonably specify; and

(ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Gadsden Share Certificates (or documents to effect a book entry transfer) in exchange for the Merger Consideration together with any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock.

(b) Upon surrender of a Gadsden Share Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent (or documents to effect a book entry transfer), together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and any other documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Company

(i) the holder of such Gadsden Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate (or, if applicable, a book entry position) representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Series A Stock, Parent Series B Stock or Parent Series C Stock that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement, after giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares provided in Section 2.10; and, if applicable, any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock; and

(ii) the Gadsden Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each such Gadsden Share Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration.

(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of Gadsden, the Merger Consideration shall be paid to a transferee if:

(i) the Gadsden Share Certificate evidencing such shares of Gadsden capital stock is presented to the Exchange Agent properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent to evidence and effect such transfer; and

(ii) such transferee shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Gadsden Share Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Company that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent capital stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Gadsden Share Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent capital stock issuable hereunder and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Gadsden Share Certificate in accordance with this Agreement. Following surrender of any such Gadsden Share Certificate there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate in addition to the other amounts payable hereunder (x) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent capital stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (y) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. For the purposes of this Section 2.2, the term “Gadsden Share Certificate” shall include, if applicable, a book entry position for the applicable shares of Gadsden capital stock.

Section 2.3 Previsions Regarding the OPCO Units. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days), Purchaser shall cause the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”) in effect as of the Effective Time to be amended so that the shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exchange of the Class B limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (the “Class B OPCO Units”) will refer to Parent Common Stock (with the appropriate changes to reflect the Common Share Exchange Ratio) and to transfer the Class A limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (the “Class A OPCO Units”) from the Surviving Company to Parent.

Section 2.4 Tax Characterizations. Parent and Gadsden intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

Section 2.5 No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender or exchange of the Gadsden Share Certificates evidencing the applicable shares of Gadsden capital stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Gadsden capital stock and, after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Company of any such shares of Gadsden capital stock. If, after the Effective Time, any Gadsden Share Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company, for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

Section 2.6 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares, or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares, on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to Purchaser and any former holders of Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares, or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares who have not theretofore received any Merger Consideration, to which they are entitled under this Article II, shall thereafter look only to the Parent for payment the issuance of the capital stock with respect thereto.

Section 2.7 Escheat. None of the Purchaser Parties, or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of any shares of Gadsden capital stock or any Class A OPCO Units or Class B OPOC Units for any part of the Merger Consideration, as applicable, that, in any case, is delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such shares immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any federal, state or local government or any court, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, governmental arbitrator or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (a “Governmental Entity”), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.8 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Gadsden Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Gadsden Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Purchaser or the Surviving Company may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Gadsden Share Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Gadsden Share Certificate the appropriate amount of the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.9 Withholding of Tax. Gadsden, Parent, Purchaser and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any shares of Gadsden capital stock such amount as Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.10 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Gadsden Share Certificates and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent capital stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, such number of shares so the fractional part of a share of such capital stock is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Section 2.11 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other documents, actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Company or the Operating Partnership its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of Purchaser, Gadsden or the Operating Partnership, or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers of the Surviving Company shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Purchaser, Gadsden or the Operating Partnership, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances and other documents and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Purchaser, Gadsden or the Operating Partnership, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Company or the Operating Partnership or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Section 2.12 Uncertificated Shares or Interests. Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the provisions of this Article II in the case of any uncertificated Gadsden Common Shares, Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares, Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares or Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares.

Article III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.1 Representations and Warranties of Gadsden and the Operating Partnership. Except as set forth in (i) the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum provided to the Purchaser (the “Gadsden PPM”), and in each case any supplement thereto provided by Gadsden with respect to the terms and conditions of the Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares (except in each case for the risk factors section and any forward looking statements contained in the Management’s Discussion & Analysis) (the “Covered Gadsden Disclosure”), or (ii) the disclosure letter delivered to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.14 of this Agreement (the “Gadsden Disclosure Letter”), Gadsden and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Purchaser Parties as follows:

(a) Organization, Standing and Power of Gadsden. Gadsden is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Maryland, and has all of the requisite corporate power, authority and all necessary government approvals or licenses to own, lease, operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Gadsden is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business it is conducting, or the ownership, operation or leasing of its properties or the management of properties for others makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect. Each jurisdiction in which Gadsden is qualified or licensed to do business under which it conducts business in any jurisdiction is identified in Section 3.1(a) of the Gadsden Disclosure Letter. Gadsden has heretofore made available to Purchaser complete and correct copies of Gadsden’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Gadsden Charter”), and Gadsden’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended through the date hereof (the “Gadsden Bylaws”). The Gadsden Charter and the Gadsden Bylaws each are in full force and effect.

(b) Gadsden Subsidiaries. Each Gadsden Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation, and has all of the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other organizational power and authority and all necessary government approvals and licenses to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to have such approvals or licenses would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect. Each Gadsden Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, operation or leasing of its properties or the management of properties for others makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect.

Each such ground lease is in full force and effect and is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms against the lessor or lessee thereunder, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Gadsden, against the other parties thereto, except as would not constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect.

Neither Gadsden nor any of the Gadsden Subsidiaries, nor to the Knowledge of Gadsden or the Operating Partnership, any tenant, has received written notification that they are in default under any Gadsden Lease, except for defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect.

All Material Contracts are valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect with respect to Gadsden and the Gadsden Subsidiaries, and to the Knowledge of Gadsden, with respect to each other party to any such Material Contract, except where such failure to be so valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect do not and would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect, and except, in each case, to the extent that enforcement of rights and remedies created by any Material Contracts are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general application related to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 3.1(s) of the Gadsden Disclosure Letter, (A) neither Gadsden nor any Gadsden Subsidiary is in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would cause such a violation of or default under) any Material Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound and (B) to the Knowledge of Gadsden, as of the date hereof, there are no such violations or defaults (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would cause such a violation or default) by any third party to any Material Contract, except, in either the case of clause (A) or (B), for those violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not constitute a Gadsden Material Adverse Effect.

Gadsden has taken all appropriate and necessary actions to exempt the Merger, this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby from the restrictions of any applicable provision of Subtitles 6 and 7 of Title 3 of the MGCL, as applicable to a Maryland corporation, and Title 8 (collectively, the “Takeover Statute”). No other “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “moratorium” or other antitakeover Laws apply to the Merger, this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Gadsden and the Gadsden Board of Directors have taken all appropriate and necessary actions to cause the Merger, this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby to comply with or be exempted from any provision contained in the Gadsden Charter, Gadsden Bylaws or in the comparable organizational document of any Gadsden Subsidiary that would otherwise impose any limitations on ownership of Gadsden Common Shares as set forth in the Gadsden Charter, including the ownership limit set forth in the Gadsden Charter inapplicable to the Merger, the execution of and performance of the this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby

(B) the filing of the Articles of Merger.

(C) any such other consent, approval, Order, authorization, registration, declaration, filing or permit that the failure to obtain or make, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the ability of any of the Purchaser Parties to perform its obligations hereunder or prevent the consummation by them of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Parent has made available to Gadsden (by public filing with the SEC or otherwise) a true and complete copy of each report, schedule, registration statement, other statement (including proxy statements) and information filed by Parent with the SEC since January 1, 2016 (the “Parent SEC Documents”), which are all the documents (other than preliminary material) that Parent was required to file with the SEC since such date pursuant to the federal securities Laws and the SEC rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 5.6 Board Actions.

(a) Consideration of a Superior Offer. Notwithstanding Section 5.5 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following the receipt by Purchaser or Gadsden (or Subsidiary of such Person), as the case may be, of a proposal from a third party for a Competing Transaction (which was not solicited, encouraged or facilitated in violation of Section 5.5), if the board of directors of such Person determines in good faith following consultation with its legal and financial advisors that such proposal for a Competing Transaction is or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Competing Transaction, such Persons board of directors may (directly or through officers or advisors):

(i) furnish nonpublic information with respect to such Person (or its Subsidiaries) to the Person that made such proposal (provided that such Person shall furnish such information pursuant to a confidentiality agreement unless the third party is already a party thereto),

(ii) disclose to such Person’s stockholders any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law,

(iii) participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such proposal and

(iv) following receipt of a proposal for a Competing Transaction that constitutes a Superior Competing Transaction, but prior to the Parent Stockholder Approval, (A) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to the other party, or fail to make, the Parent Recommendation or Gadsden Recommendation, as the case may be, or recommend that the Parent stockholders or Gadsden stockholders, as the case may be, to approve such Superior Competing Transaction, (B) terminate this Agreement pursuant to and subject to compliance with, Section 7.1(g) and (C) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders such party to take.

(v) Nothing in this Section 5.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the board of directors of a party from complying with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (assuming that such party is subject to such Rules under the Exchange Act) with respect to a Competing Transaction or from issuing a stop, look and listen announcement or otherwise making any required disclosure to its stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of such party, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to do so would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law, including Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A; provided, however, that neither such party or such party’s board of directors shall be permitted to recommend a Competing Transaction which is not a Superior Competing Transaction.

Section 5.10 Computation of Net Asset Value and Ratios.

(a) Initial Computation. Parent and Gadsden have computed the Net Asset Value of their respective real estate portfolios, in each case, as of June 30, 2018, assuming that the proposed property acquisitions described in the Gadsden PPM are acquired as of such date on the terms described in the Gadsden PPM. Such calculations have been delivered by each such Person to the other under separate letter and illustrate the means for computing the Net Asset Value of a Person (the “NAV Processes”). The NAV Processes includes those real estate investments that are closed as of the Closing Date and those investments that are proposed, but not yet closed as of the Closing Date (such investments being the “Scheduled Investments”). The NAV Processes also provides the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that would be issued (or the formula for such issuance) if a Scheduled Investment is acquired by Parent after the Closing Date but prior to the Scheduled Required Date (each, a “Scheduled Additional Share”).

(b) Closing NAV.

(i) On or prior to the Closing Date, each of Parent and Gadsden will compute the Net Asset Value of such Person as of the Closing Date (the “Closing NAV”) in a manner consistent with the NAV Processes, and provide such computation to the other Person; provided, however, that in calculating Closing NAV no assumption shall be made with regard to property acquisitions described in the Gadsden PPM that have not yet been completed and any such incomplete acquisitions shall not be included in the calculation of Closing NAV. Each such Person shall review the Closing NAV and provide comments, which shall not estop a Person from determining that the Closing NAV is not correct in all material respects at the Effective Time.

(ii) The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith to reconcile any differences or disputes regarding the Closing NAV prior to the Closing Date.

(iii) The Parties agree that the ratio of shares of

(A) Parent Common Stock that will be issued for each Gadsden Common Share (the “Common Exchange Ratio”) shall be 21.529 subject to adjustment by this Section 5.10 and for any shares of common stock of Gadsden or Parent subject to issuance directly or under any Convertible Right issued on or after the date of this Agreement.

(B) Parent preferred stock (that will be of equal tenor of the Gadsden Series A Preferred Shares (the “Parent Series A Stock”) that will be issued for each Gadsden Series A Preferred Share (the “Series A Exchange Ratio”) shall be 1:1 subject to adjustment by this Section 5.10 and, without duplication, for any shares of Parent capital stock convertible into Parent Common Stock that would change the conversion ratio of the Parent Series A Stock under the articles for such shares, or any Gadsden Series A Preferred Share, in each case, subject to issuance directly or under any Convertible Right for such security that is issued on or after the date of this Agreement.

(C) Parent preferred stock (that will be of equal tenor of the Gadsden Series B Preferred Shares (“Parent Series B Stock”) that will be issued for each Gadsden Series B Preferred Share (the “Series B Exchange Ratio”) shall be 1:1 subject to adjustment by this Section 5.10 and, without duplication, for any shares of Parent capital stock convertible into Parent Common Stock that would change the conversion ratio of the Parent Series B Stock under the articles for such shares, or any Gadsden Series B Preferred Share, in each case, subject to issuance directly or under any Convertible Right for such security that is issued on or after the date of this Agreement.

(D) Parent preferred stock (that will be of equal tenor of the Gadsden Series C Preferred Shares (“Parent Series C Stock”) that will be issued for each Gadsden Series C Preferred Share (the “Series C Exchange Ratio” and, together with the Series A Exchange Ratio and the Series B Exchange Ratio, each an “Exchange Ratio” and, collectively, the “Exchange Ratios”) shall be 1:1 subject to adjustment by this Section 5.10 and, without duplication, for any shares of Parent capital stock convertible into Parent Common Stock that would change the conversion ratio of the Parent Series C Stock under the articles for such shares, or any Gadsden Series C Preferred Share, in each case, subject to issuance directly or under any Convertible Right for such security that is issued on or after the date of this Agreement.

(i) As of the Effective Time, the Common Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted proportionately for any change in the ratio of the Closing NAV of Parent to the Closing NAV of Gadsden from the ratio of such net asset values used to compute the Common Exchange Ratio as of the date of this Agreement.

(ii) The Common Exchange Ratio has been computed on the basis that all of the Scheduled Investments have been acquired on or prior to the Scheduled Required Date. The aggregate Scheduled Additional Shares relating to all of the Scheduled Investments that have not been acquired by Gadsden as of the Closing Date will be issued by Parent on the Closing Date and held in escrow with an escrow agent mutually agreeable to Parent and Gadsden and under an agreement (the “Share Escrow Agreement”). If Parent and Gadsden cannot so agree upon the escrow agent, then the escrow agent shall be a nationally recognized commercial bank or a qualified custodian selected by lot (after excluding those escrow agents previously rejected by the Parties). The Scheduled Additional Shares shall be released from such escrow and provided to the Loss Stakeholders referred to in Section 8.2(k)(vi)(A), as and when the applicable Scheduled Investment is acquired, if such Scheduled Investment is acquired by Parent on or prior to its Scheduled Required Date. Any Scheduled Additional Shares for a Scheduled Investment that has not been acquired by Parent on or prior to the expiration of its Scheduled Required Date, will be removed from escrow and cancelled.

Section 5.11 Board Nominees. Promptly after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and Gadsden shall provide the information that is necessary and customary to provide to the other, including the information necessary to provide disclosure under Regulation S-K under the Securities Act regarding the individuals that will be nominated by such Person to the Board of the Directors of Parent as of the Effective Time, who shall be (i) the current Board of Directors of Gadsden; and (ii) two of the individuals that are presently serving on the Board of Directors of Parent. Each of Parent and Gadsden shall provide an agreement of each such individual to perform such background and credit checks of such individual. Unless removed for cause, death or disability, the two individuals that are presently serving on the Board of Directors of Parent and who will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of Parent shall so serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent; provided, however, that unless either of such two individual fail to provide their consent or unless either of such two individuals has committed a “bad actor” disqualification event of the type described in Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act, Parent shall nominate such two individuals to serve as directors at such next annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 5.12 Voting Agreement. Neither Parent nor Gadsden shall take any action to compromise or amend, including providing any waiver, under the Voting Agreement.

Section 5.13 Lock-Up Agreements. Except as otherwise agreed by Parent and Gadsden, each of Parent and Gadsden shall cooperate with each other and arrange for each Person that will own 5% or more of the common stock of Parent, determined on the basis assuming that all warrants, options, preferred stock or other rights are exercised or converted into shares of common stock of Parent as of the Effective Time, enter into an agreement (a “Lock-Up Agreement”) that provides that such Person shall not transfer or assign or otherwise dispose of the shares of Parent capital stock that would be owned by such Person as of the Effective Time for a period of 180 days after the Effective Time other than the number of shares that would be permitted to be sold under the volume limitations under Rule 144, which Lock-Up Agreement shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.

Section 5.14 Disclosure Letter. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) neither Gadsden nor Parent have delivered to the other the final version of their respective Disclosure Letters, and (ii) neither Parent nor Gadsden has had an opportunity to review the items referred to in the other party’s Disclosure Letter. Each of Parent and Gadsden shall deliver to the other party their respective Disclosure Letter and documents referred to in the Disclosure Letter in final form within five (5) business days (or such additional period of time as may be agreed to by Gadsden and Parent in writing) following the date of this Agreement and each party shall thereafter have five (5) business days (or such additional period of time as may be agreed to by Gadsden and Parent in writing) in which to terminate this Agreement if the Parent, on the one hand, or Gadsden, on the other hand, objects to any information contained in the final Disclosure Letter delivered to it and Gadsden and Parent cannot agree on mutually satisfactory modifications thereto.

Parent also agrees that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(f) and (i) after the date hereof and prior to such termination, a Person (or any representative of such Person) has made any bona fide written proposal relating to a Competing Transaction which has been publicly announced prior to the Parent Stockholder Meeting and (ii) within twelve months of any such termination Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent shall consummate a Competing Transaction, or enter into a written agreement with respect to a Competing Transaction that is ultimately consummated, with any Person, then Parent shall pay to Gadsden, or as directed by Gadsden, promptly after consummating such Competing Transaction (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such consummation), an amount equal to the Break-Up Fee. Payment of any of such amounts shall be made, as directed by Gadsden, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Payment of any of such amounts shall be made, as directed by Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) Break Up Fee Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Break-Up Fee” shall be an amount equal to $250,000 (if Parent is paying such fee) or $200,000 (if Gadsden is paying such fee).

The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2 have been agreed to by each of the parties hereto in order to induce the other parties to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being agreed and acknowledged by each of them that the execution of this Agreement by them constitutes full and reasonable consideration for such provisions.

Section 7.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Gadsden or Parent as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Gadsden and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, or Parent or Purchaser, on the other hand, other than Section 5.2, Section 7.1, Section 7.2, this Section 7.3, and Article VIII, which provisions shall survive such termination; provided that nothing contained herein shall relieve any Person of liability for fraud or a willful breach or Parent’s failure to pay the Merger Consideration upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI.

Section 7.4 Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may be amended by the parties in writing by action of their respective board of directors, or other comparable bodies, at any time before or after the Gadsden Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval are obtained and prior to the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Maryland Department with respect to the Merger; provided, however, that, after the Gadsden Stockholder Approval is obtained, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall be made that would require the approval of the Gadsden Common Stockholders without obtaining such approval.

Section 8.1 Post-Closing Remedies.

(a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time for a period of: (i) with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 3.1(d)(i) (Authority; No Violations; Consents and Approval), and Section 3.1(k) (Taxes) and Section 3.2(d)(i) (Authority; No Violations; Consents and Approval), and Section 3.2(l) (Taxes), for the applicable statute of limitations regarding such subject matters, and (ii) for all other representations and warranties, for a period expiring March 31, 2020.

(b) No Effect on Certain Matters. This Section 8.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time.

(c) Purchase Price Adjustment. In the event of a Loss Determination and such Loss Determination is described in a notice to Parent as provided in Section 8.2(l) on or prior to the applicable Loss Estimate Review Period, the Merger Consideration will be adjusted as provided in this Section 8.1 and Section 8.2.

(i) In the event that after the Effective Time there is a Loss Determination, then the estimated amount of the Loss (“Loss Estimate”) shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Parent. Parent shall then provide a notice to the Parent Post Merger Committee for review and approval of the Loss Estimate, which notice shall include all relevant documentation and a description in reasonable detail as to the material facts and processes used to determine the Loss Estimate.

(ii) The Parent Post Merger Committee shall have 30 days to determine if it agrees with the Loss Estimate. If the Parent Post Merger Committee does not agree with the Loss Estimate, then it may request additional documentation from Parent (which shall promptly provide any such information that is reasonably requested, subject to reasonable confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations) and provide its determination of the Loss Estimate to the Board of Directors of Parent. The Board of Directors of Parent and the Parent Post Merger Committee shall thereafter negotiate to resolve the differences with respect to the Loss Estimate for a period of fifteen (15) days (the “Loss Estimate Review Period”). The Loss Estimate Review Period will, however, be extended to the extent of the period of time that Parent provides information that has been reasonably requested by the Parent Post Merger Committee that takes more than five business days or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parent and the Parent Post Merger Committee.

(iii) If the Board of Directors of Parent and the Parent Post Merger Committee resolve the dispute regarding the Loss Estimate on or prior to the expiration of the Loss Estimate Review Period, then the Loss Estimate, as adjusted by such resolution, shall be the Final Loss Amount.

(iv) If the Board of Directors of Parent and the Parent Post Merger Committee do not resolve their differences with respect to the amount of the Lost Estimate prior to the date that is 30 days after the expiration of the Loss Estimate Review Period or such later period as agreed by the Board of Directors of Parent and the Parent Post Merger Committee (the “Mediation Period”), then Parent and the Parent Post Merger Committee will submit the dispute to the mediation, and if not resolved, then to arbitration as provided below in Section 8.2.

Section 8.2 Mediation and Arbitration.

(a) Mediation. If the Loss Estimate has not become a Final Loss Amount on or prior to expiration of the Mediation Period, then the dispute regarding the Loss Estimate will be submitted to mediation to JAMS New York office with a mediator that is determined by the agreement of the Board of Directors of Parent and accepted by Parent Post Merger Committee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or if no such acceptance is provided, then by a mediator selected by JAMS.

(b) Participation and Cost Allocation. The Parent Post Merger Committee will participate in the mediation in good faith and, effectively, Parent will pay the costs of the mediation, which amounts paid will increase the Loss Estimate, up to $100,000 and then the costs will be allocated equally, it being acknowledged that such payment shall be effected by including such costs in the Final Loss Amount and issuing additional shares in accordance with Section 8.2(o).

(c) Confidentiality Provision. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, shall be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or nondiscoverable as a result of its use in the mediation, subject to any reasonable commercial disclosures to be made by Parent, including any filing to the SEC or disclosures to actual or potential investors, bankers, accountants, counsel or other professionals.

(d) JAMS Arbitration. Either Parent or the Parent Post Merger Committee may initiate arbitration by JAMs with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first (“Earliest Initiation Date”). The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. If the dispute with respect to the Loss Estimate is resolved prior to the initiation of arbitration as provided below, then the Final Loss Amount shall be as agreed in such resolution.

(e) Standstill. At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties. However, this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the requirements of Section 8.2(b).

(f) Tolling. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after the Earliest Initiation Date. Parent will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

(g) Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in New York before one arbitrator(s). The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award in arbitration (the “Award”) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

(h) Confidentiality of Proceedings. The parties to the arbitration, including Parent, shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision or as may be required for disclosure under applicable law. Further, Parent shall have the right to provide such disclosures as are commercially reasonable to its actual or potential investors, lenders, bankers, accountants, lawyers and other professionals and any disclosure regarding to the SEC or filed with the SEC.

(i) Award. The Award shall determine the amount of the Loss arising from or related to Loss Determination and such amount shall be the Final Loss Amount.
