Article II
PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENT; POST-CLOSING LEASE ESCROW

Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price for the Properties (the “Purchase Price”) shall be Two Hundred Sixty-Seven Million and 00/100 Dollars ($267,000,000.00) which shall be allocated among the Properties as follows:

Westridge Property		$22,000,000.00
Damascus Property		$37,500,000.00
Rotunda Property		$207,500,000.00

(b) Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Chicago Title Insurance Company, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ D. C. 20036, Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, National Commercial Counsel (“Escrow Agent” and “Title Company”), by (i) electronic wire transfer of immediately available federal funds pursuant to wiring instructions to be given by the Escrow Agent, or (ii) irrevocable letter of credit issued by a regional or national bank and in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and

Purchaser (the “Letter of Credit”), the sum of Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money (together with all interest earned thereon, if any, collectively, the “Initial Deposit”).

(c) If Purchaser elects or is deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing (as defined in Section 3.1), then within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 4.1), Purchaser shall deposit with the Title Company, by electronic wire transfer of immediately available federal funds pursuant to wiring instructions to be given by the Escrow Agent, or a replacement Letter of Credit, an additional deposit of Seven Million and 00/100 Dollars ($7,000,000.00) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money (together with all interest earned thereon, if any, the “Additional Deposit”, together with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”), which Additional Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, except as provided in the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In any case in which the Deposit is provided herein to be returned to Purchaser, then nevertheless One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) thereof shall be paid to or retained by Seller and deducted from the amount due Purchaser; such amount shall belong to Seller in any and all events and shall in effect constitute option money, making this Agreement binding even if any conditions or provisions herein are entirely with the discretion or control of Purchaser.

(d) The balance of the Purchase Price, being a sum equal to the difference between the Purchase Price, less the Deposit, if in cash, as otherwise adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall be paid by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent at Closing, by electronic wire transfer of immediately available federal funds pursuant to wiring instructions to be given by the Escrow Agent, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. In the event all or any portion of the Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Purchaser concurrently with Closing.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the balance of this sentence, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the escrow established with respect to the Deposit shall be a “sole order” escrow for the benefit of Purchaser (meaning that, subject to the balance of this sentence, the Title Company shall act solely in accordance with the instructions of Purchaser if given on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), except Seller shall have the right to deliver a notice to the Title Company (with a concurrent copy to Purchaser) in the event Seller is entitled to make a claim against Purchaser pursuant to Sections 2.1(c), 4.1(d), or 4.1(g). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser delivers to Seller a notice stating that it has elected to terminate this Agreement, then, unless Seller has delivered a prior notice regarding a claim pursuant to Sections 2.1(c), 4.1(d) or 4.1(g), Purchaser shall have the right to deliver to the Title Company (with a concurrent copy to Seller) a notice that includes a copy of the notice of termination delivered to Seller, and, upon delivery of such notice, the Title Company shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit without any requirement that the Title Company first notify or obtain any approval or consent of Seller. Subject to the foregoing, in the event Purchaser so instructs the Title Company on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller agrees that the Title Company shall not be permitted to, and shall not, follow any conflicting instructions given by Seller or any third party as to the disposition of the Deposit but shall instead follow only the instructions of Purchaser in connection therewith. From and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Title Company shall only disburse the Deposit upon receipt of a joint, written instruction by Seller and Purchaser or pursuant to court order.

(f) Upon execution of this Agreement, the parties shall deliver a fully executed copy of this Agreement to the Title Company to serve as the instructions to the Title Company as the escrow holder for consummation of the transaction contemplated herein. Upon the request of the Title Company the parties shall execute the Title Company’s standard form of escrow agreement which shall comport with the escrow terms of this Agreement with such changes as the parties may reasonably request.

2.2 Post-Closing Lease Escrow.

(a) At the Closing, a portion of the Purchase Price shall be held in escrow (the “Post-Closing Lease Escrow”) by the Escrow Agent with respect to (i) those lease transactions listed on Exhibit 2.2(a)(i) (to be updated as of Closing) that have not been executed as of Closing (the “Pending Leases”); and (ii) those Leases listed on Exhibit 2.2(a)(ii) which have been fully executed but the rent commencement date under the Lease has not yet occurred as of Closing, and/or there are amounts remaining, as of Closing, to be paid to the Tenant (as defined in Section 6.1(b)(iii)) or third parties pursuant to the applicable Lease (collectively, the “Post-Closing Lease Obligations”). The Post-Closing Lease Escrow shall be comprised of two (2) separate escrow accounts, one in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the fixed rent and projected pro rata share of taxes, insurance and operating costs (“Rent”) under any Pending Leases or such Leases for a five (5) year period (the “Rent Escrow”, and such five (5) year period, the “Escrow Period”), and a second separate escrow account in an amount equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the projected cost during the Escrow Period of any landlord work for tenant improvements, tenant allowances, lease buyout payments, legal fees not to exceed Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars for each Pending Lease or such Lease, architectural fees and leasing commissions relating only to the initial term of the Lease (and not with respect to any commission related to any renewal term or other option granted thereunder) (the “Post-Closing Lease Obligations Escrow”). Rent due under each such Lease or Pending Lease (regardless of whether such Pending Lease is ever executed) shall be released from the Rent Escrow as follows: (x) prior to the rent commencement date of such Lease or Pending Lease, monthly installments of Rent shall be released on a monthly basis to Purchaser based on the rents set forth in such Pending Lease or Lease as of Closing, and (y) after the rent commencement date of such Lease or Pending Lease, or any lease or other occupancy agreement with respect to the space that is the subject of such Lease or Pending Lease, the balance of the Rent escrowed with respect to such Lease or Pending Lease shall be released to Seller. Amounts shall be released from the Post-Closing Lease Obligations Escrow upon submission of invoices for the payment of such sums, and any amounts remaining in the Post-Closing Lease Obligations Escrow at the end of the Escrow Period shall be promptly released to Seller upon the expiration of the Escrow Period. The Rent Escrow and the Post-Closing Lease Obligations Escrow shall otherwise be subject to the terms of an escrow agreement(s) to be agreed upon and executed by Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent by the end of the Due Diligence Period in their reasonable discretion (the “Tenant Escrow Agreement”). Seller shall prepare and submit to Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller’s calculation of the Rent Escrow and the Post-Closing Lease Obligation Escrow amounts, which shall be mutually agreed to by Seller and Purchaser at Closing in their reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reimbursements of portions of, or all of, amounts in the Rent Escrow and Post-Closing Lease Obligations Escrow may be released to Seller according to the terms above pursuant to leases which are obtained in replacement of any Pending Leases or Leases for which there are Post-Closing Lease Obligations as set forth on the Exhibits 2.2(a)(i) or (ii), and

which are terminated before Closing or during the Escrow Period, subject to Purchaser’s approval of such replacement leases and the corresponding tenants thereunder and provided that any such right of replacement shall not supersede any lease agreements entered into by Purchaser and shall be subject to Purchaser’s lease efforts in all respects. Seller shall keep Purchaser apprised on a regular basis of any such leasing efforts on the part of Seller.

(b) Seller agrees that with respect to any Pending Lease, Purchaser shall be the primary and sole party to communicate and negotiate with the applicable Tenants after Closing, provided that Purchaser hereby acknowledges receipt of, and hereby approves, the form and terms of each Pending Lease. Purchaser shall not, without the prior written approval of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) discontinue or terminate the negotiation of any Pending Lease (unless the amount escrowed for such Pending Lease is disbursed to Seller), (ii) terminate any Lease for which there are Post-Closing Lease Obligations (unless the amount escrowed for such Lease is disbursed to Seller); (iii) reduce the Rent payable under any Pending Lease or Lease for which there are Post-Closing Lease Obligations (unless the difference between the amount escrowed for such Rent and the reduced amount of Rent is disbursed to Seller), (iii) lengthen any free rent period or extend the rent commencement date under any Pending Lease or Lease for which there are Post-Closing Lease Obligations, or (iv) lengthen or extend the time in which to complete any landlord work under any Pending Lease or Lease for which there are Post-Closing Lease Obligations (unless such change does not affect the rent commencement date under the applicable Pending Lease or Lease). After Closing, Purchaser agrees to provide regular updates to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ at ▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or such other representative of Seller as is identified in a written notice to Seller (“Seller’s Leasing Representative”) of the status of the Pending Leases, and Seller’s Representative shall have the right to participate in the weekly leasing status meetings conducted by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no approval rights over the final terms of the Pending Leases after Closing. Purchaser agrees to use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to reach a final agreement with prospective tenants with respect to the Pending Leases.

In no event shall Purchaser have the right to conduct invasive or subsurface testing or drilling on a Property or a Phase II environmental site assessment without the prior written consent of Seller. In addition, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct reviews of zoning, building code and other applicable ordinances to determine whether the Properties are in compliance, and in connection therewith, subject to the following proviso, to communicate with municipal officials and to request from governmental authorities copies of customary documents and information regarding the zoning of the Properties, the existence of permits and certificates of occupancy and written evidence in the records of governmental authorities of any violations by the Properties of applicable law; provided, however, that in no event shall such contact with any governmental authority include requests for additional inspections or investigation by governmental authorities of the Properties and Purchaser shall not report or otherwise disclose any discovered conditions or violations except to the extent required by law, court order or other legal process, and then only after providing Seller with at least ten (10) days advance notice of the need to make such report or disclosure (or such shorter period as required by law for Purchaser to comply with its reporting or disclosure obligations). All such inspections

and reviews shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser and shall be subject to the provisions of this Article IV. Purchaser’s inspections of the Properties pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be referred to herein as the “Inspections”.

Purchaser shall not cause or permit any mechanics’ liens or other liens to be filed against the Properties as a result of the inspections.

(d) Damage and Restoration.

All such remedial activity shall be promptly and diligently performed by Purchaser at its cost and in a commercially reasonable manner. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any loss, cost, damage, liability, and/or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively “Losses”) resulting or arising from (i) any remedial activity required pursuant to this clause (d), (ii) any damage that occurs to a Property as the result of the Inspections, (iii) Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations set forth in this Section 4.1, (iv) any negligent acts or willful misconduct by Purchaser or any of its agents, representatives or contractors with respect to performing the Inspections pursuant to this Section 4.1, or (v) and injury suffered or caused by Purchaser or any of its agents, representatives or contractors in the performance of the Inspections. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.1(d) will survive any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be responsible for and the indemnification set forth above shall not apply to any Losses to the extent solely caused by Seller, its agents, employees, tenants or contractors, the mere discovery of hazardous or dangerous conditions existing at the Properties prior to Purchaser or its agents entering on the Properties, or for any consequential, speculative or punitive damages or lost profits, but shall cover any actual loss of rents to the extent not covered by Seller’s rent loss insurance.

(e) Insurance. If Purchaser desires to conduct any Inspections of the Properties, either Purchaser, or any representatives Purchaser retains to conduct such inspections, shall provide Seller, prior to any Inspections, with evidence that it maintains commercial general liability insurance as set forth in this clause (e).

(f) Due Diligence Materials. Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser via a diligence website maintained by the Seller (the “Data Room”), copies of the due diligence materials listed on Exhibit 4.1(f) (the “Due Diligence Materials”). Subject only to the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 6.1, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Due Diligence Materials are provided simply as an accommodation to Purchaser and except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller makes no representation or warranty with regards to the accuracy and completeness of any document or information, including the Due Diligence Materials, provided by Seller to Purchaser, and any

reliance by Purchaser on such documents and information shall be at Purchaser’s own risk and expense. In addition, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be obligated to furnish, nor shall Purchaser be entitled to review or have access to, any confidential, proprietary or privileged documents or information connected with the Properties, including but not limited to opinions, appraisals, audits, internal memoranda or other confidential, proprietary or privileged documents, internal work product or other similar documents, which are in the possession or control of Seller.

notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation of, and makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of, any materials or information, including but not limited to the Due Diligence Materials and any other materials relating to the PROPERTIES, delivered or made available by OR ON BEHALF OF Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated herein EXCEPT, in each case as otherwise expressly set forth in the REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1.

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, then at the request of Seller, Purchaser will promptly destroy all Due Diligence Materials furnished to it by Seller without retaining copies thereof and certify such destruction to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may retain one (1) copy of any such Due Diligence Materials if required by law or in connection with a prudent, bona fide and customary corporate recordkeeping policy, and Purchaser shall hold such Due Diligence Materials in strict confidence.

Article V
TITLE

5.1 Status of Title. Title to the Premises shall be good and marketable fee simple title, subject to (a) the standard exceptions and provisions contained in the form of owner’s title policy employed by the Title Company which are unable to be removed by standard Seller affidavits and indemnities, (b) any matters that are waived or deemed waived by Purchaser or arise by reason of the actions of Purchaser or its agents, and (c) those exceptions or matters indicated on the Title

Commitments or Surveys to which Purchaser does not object to or waive pursuant to Section 5.3 (collectively, “Permitted Exceptions”).

5.2 Title Commitments and Surveys. Purchaser may obtain commitments for title insurance (the “Title Commitments”) from the Title Company. Seller has or will provide the Purchaser with copies of any existing title insurance policies (together with copies of the exceptions, if available) and surveys of the Properties (collectively, “Surveys”) in Seller’s possession or control, or reasonably obtainable at no cost to Seller, which Surveys Purchaser may at its sole cost elect to have updated. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of the Title Commitments and any updates to the Surveys promptly upon receipt thereof.

5.3 Objections to Title. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall provide Seller and the Title Company with written notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) of any title and survey conditions, deficiencies or matters to which Purchaser objects (other than the Permitted Exceptions) (“Title Objections”). Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s agreement to cure, at Seller’s sole expense, or Seller’s election not to cure, such Title Objections (“Seller’s Response Notice”) no later than five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Response Notice Deadline”). If Seller fails to give Seller’s Response Notice by the Seller’s Response Notice Deadline, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not cure such Title Objections. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected not to cure all Title Objections, Purchaser may, by giving notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days following receipt of Seller’s Response or Seller’s Response Notice Deadline, whichever is earlier, elect to (a) terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other with respect to this Agreement except those obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (b) proceed to Closing and accept title to the Properties subject to the Title Objections (which shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligation on the part of Seller by reason of such Title Objections). If Purchaser fails to timely notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed in accordance with clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence. Purchaser shall have the right, prior to Closing, to object to any title exceptions that were not disclosed on the Title Commitments or any previous updates to the Title Commitments (each a “New Objection”) and, if Seller does not agree to cure any such new Title Objections by not later than Closing, to exercise the rights under clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.3.

5.4 Required Removal Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall, at or prior to Closing, remove from title all of the following (which will automatically, and without requirement that same be specified in the Title Objection Notice, be deemed unpermitted exceptions) (collectively, the “Required Removal Exceptions”): (i) all mortgages, deeds of trust, and related UCC filings and assignments of leases and rents, all tax liens and mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and any liens or judgments voluntarily created or suffered by Seller, (ii) other monetary liens (other than taxes not yet due and payable), judgments entered against any Property or Seller (and not caused by Purchaser) or other encumbrances that may be removed or cured by the payment of an ascertainable sum (“Other Monetary Liens”), (iii) exceptions (other than Permitted Exceptions) which were created, consented to or permitted by

Seller or its affiliates, or any of their employees, contractors, agents or representatives, following the date of this Agreement, unless otherwise approved or deemed approved by Purchaser, (iv) any exception to title that Seller has specifically agreed in writing to cure pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3. If Seller is unwilling or unable to remove any Required Removal Exceptions from title at or prior to the Closing with respect to any of the Properties, Purchaser shall at Closing elect as its sole and exclusive remedy to either (x) exercise Purchaser’s rights under Section 10.1, or (y) accept such exceptions to title and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of, or credit against, the applicable portion of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that in the case of a Required Removal Exception of the type described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the sum of the amount of such liens or judgments referenced. Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to remove or cause to be removed any Required Removal Exception other than the Tenant Escrow Amount or amounts otherwise payable to third parties out of the Purchase Price.

In addition to the foregoing, Seller agrees to provide the Title Company with such factual affidavits as may be reasonably required by the Title Company to remove any exception for, or provide affirmative insurance coverage in the owner’s and lender’s title insurance policy to be obtained by Purchaser at Closing with respect to, the right of first offer contained in that certain Memorandum of Restrictions and Right of First Offer made as of October 2, 2013 (the “Giant ROFO”) by and between Grande Rotunda, LLC and Giant of Maryland, LLC (“Giant”). The Giant ROFO shall be a Permitted Exception and, neither the removal of the Giant ROFO from Purchaser’s or its lender’s title insurance policy nor Purchaser’s receipt from Giant of a waiver of the Giant ROFO, shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close. The Seller shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to agree with the Title Company upon the forms of any factual affidavits required by this paragraph by not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. In addition, Seller agrees that Purchaser may contact Giant directly to obtain written confirmation from Giant that the Giant ROFO has been complied with or waived, and Purchaser agrees that any and all costs related to or borne from such contact or Giant’s delivery of such written confirmation shall be solely Purchaser’s responsibility.

Purchaser acknowledges that neither the failure of Seller to obtain Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from the Required Tenants, provided Seller used commercially reasonable efforts (which shall exclude any extraordinary expenditure of funds on the part of Seller, including any amounts requested or demanded by a

Tenant in consideration or remuneration for delivery of an estoppel certificate unless the fee is set forth in the applicable Lease) to obtain Acceptable Estoppel Certificates, nor the existence of Material Matters in any estoppel certificates received from any Tenants, will be deemed a default by Seller, it being agreed that, without limiting any other remedy Purchaser may have under any other section of this Agreement but subject to Seller’s right to extend the Closing as set forth above, the sole remedy of Purchaser for Seller’s failure to obtain Acceptable Estoppel Certificates from the Required Tenants will be to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and receive back the Deposit (together with interest thereon), following which the parties will have no further rights and obligations hereunder, except for those rights and obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Purchaser will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive the requirement that Seller furnish an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate with respect to any particular Required Tenant. The delivery of an executed copy (as opposed to an original) of any Acceptable Estoppel Certificate shall be sufficient for purposes of satisfying the condition under this Section 7.9(b).

(b) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Tenant indicated by Purchaser prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, to the extent such Tenant’s Lease is not self-subordinating by its terms, a subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement (collectively, the “SNDAs”) in the form prescribed by such Lease or, if one is not prescribed, then in a form reasonably agreeable to the Tenant and Purchaser's lender prior to the Closing Date; provided the form shall have been provided to Seller by no later than December 1, 2021. Failure to obtain and/or deliver the SNDAs (provided Seller used all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same) shall not constitute a default by Seller and provision of the SNDAs shall not be a condition of Closing.

7.10 Property Agreements Certificates. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser executed estoppel certificates, two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date, to the extent required under any reciprocal easement agreements, declarations, or other similar agreements or instruments encumbering the Land and Improvements (collectively, the “Property Agreements”) in the form required by, or containing such terms as are required by, the applicable Property Agreement, or, if the applicable agreement does not prescribe a particular form or terms, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7.10, with such revisions as are reasonably requested by the applicable certifying party, with respect to those Property Agreements (and the parties thereto) identified by Purchaser in writing to Seller no later than December 1, 2021, stating to the knowledge of the certifying party (i) that the Land, Improvements or Seller are not in violation of any of the terms and conditions of the applicable Property Agreement; (ii) that any and all sums required to be paid under the applicable Property Agreement have been paid; and (iii) that the applicable Property Agreement is unmodified and/or amended except as otherwise specifically set forth in such certificate (collectively, the “Property Agreements Certificates”). If Seller is unable to deliver to Purchaser the Property Agreements Certificates as required by this Section 7.10 on or before the Closing Date, then Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date in order to obtain such estoppel certificates to a date that is the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after the then-schedule Closing Date and (y) five (5) Business Days after Seller delivers to Purchaser the Property Agreements Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of Purchaser to obtain (or Seller to provide) any such Property Agreements Certificates (provided Seller shall have used commercially reasonable efforts (which shall exclude any expenditure of funds on the part of Seller) to obtain same) shall not be and shall not be deemed to be a breach of

or default under this Agreement, nor shall procurement of any Property Agreements Certificate be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction hereunder. The delivery of an executed copy (as opposed to an original) of such Property Agreement Certificate shall be sufficient for purposes of satisfying Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.10.

7.11 Assumption of Service Contracts. By not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller (the “Service Contracts Notice”) specifying any Service Contracts which Purchaser desires to terminate at Closing (collectively, the remaining contracts, the “Assumed Contracts”), and, subject to the remainder of this Section 7.11, Purchaser shall assume at Closing all Assumed Contracts. Seller shall terminate, at its sole cost and expense subject to the balance of this Section 7.11, all other Service Contracts (the “Terminated Contracts”) by not later than the Closing Date. If Purchaser fails to deliver the Service Contracts Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume all Service Contracts. To the extent that any Service Contract to be assigned to Purchaser is either (i) assignable but requires the applicable vendor to consent to the assignment and assumption of the Service Contract by Seller to Purchaser, or (ii) is not assignable (either by its terms or applicable law), then, prior to the Closing, Seller shall be responsible for obtaining from each applicable vendor a consent (each a “Required Assignment Consent”) to such assignment and assumption, provided, that shall not be and shall not be deemed to be a breach of or default under this Agreement nor shall termination or assumption of any Service Contract be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction hereunder. Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs under any Service Contract that remains in effect as of Closing in order for any notice period to expire and for all termination fees under any Terminated Contracts. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any property management agreement or leasing agreement shall be terminated effective as of the Closing Date, and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, such agreements shall not be or be deemed to be Service Contracts.

Article VIII
APPORTIONMENTS

8.1 Apportionments. (a) The following items shall be apportioned as of 11:59 PM of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date as though Purchaser held title to the Properties during the Closing Date.

(i) Fixed rents, additional rents, percentage rents and all other sums and credits due or payable under the Leases for the month (or, with respect to additional rents, percentage rents and other sums, the applicable period relating thereto) in which the Closing Date occurs shall be apportioned to the extent collected under the Leases, subject to part (b) of this Section 8.1;

(ii) Real estate taxes and personal property taxes (if any), on the basis of the fiscal year for which the same are levied, imposed or assessed, subject to part (c) of this Section 8.1;

(iii) Fees and charges under the Service Contracts that are being assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, on the basis of the periods to which such Service Contracts relate; and

(iv) Charges for water, sewer rents, electricity, steam, and gas, which are not metered or otherwise charged directly to tenants by the provider; provided that if the consumption of any of such utilities is measured by meters, the Seller on the Closing Date shall furnish a current reading of each meter; and provided further, that if there is not a meter or if the current ▇▇▇▇ for any of such utilities has not been issued prior to the Closing Date, the charges therefor shall be adjusted on the basis of the charges for the prior period for which bills were issued and shall be further adjusted when the bills for the current period are issued.

(b) If any additional rents, percentage rents or other sums under the Leases (including expense reimbursement payments) (collectively, the “Lease Obligations”) are payable or accruable under the Leases on the basis of estimates or formulae and are subject to adjustment after the Closing Date, such rents shall be apportioned on the Closing Date on the basis of the sums actually paid by the Tenants under the Leases to Seller on account of such rents and/or expenses prior to the Closing Date, and will be subject to reapportionment on the basis of the rents and expenses as finally determined to be owing and collected under the Leases. If Leases contain Lease Obligations payable by Tenants which have accrued as of the Closing Date but are not then due and payable, the amount of such Lease Obligations shall not be prorated as of the Closing Date but shall be allocated and paid as hereinafter provided. No later than five (5) Business Days before Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its good faith calculation of the Lease Obligations incurred and collections received for the period prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Reconciliation”) and provide such Pre-Closing Reconciliation to Purchaser, including but not limited to an estimated reconciliation of charges for 2021, together with supporting documentation. All prorations and reconciliations shall be subject to Purchaser’s review and approval. Any overpayments shown on the Pre-Closing Reconciliation shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing. Any underpayments shall be remitted to Seller as and when collected by Purchaser as hereinafter provided. In the event the 2021 reconciliations shall not have been finalized as of Closing, Seller shall continue to be responsible for the preparation thereof in accordance with the Leases by not later than ninety (90) days after Closing, and any additional underpayments or overpayments determined based on such final reconciliation shall then be reconciled between Seller and Purchaser as hereinabove and hereinafter provided. All amounts collected by Purchaser or Seller from Tenants after the Closing Date will be applied pursuant to Section 8.1(d). Either party may inspect, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, the other’s records related to the Properties to confirm the calculations contemplated hereby. If the Closing shall occur before the real estate tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be based upon the tax rate for the next preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Final adjustment will be made upon the actual tax amount when determined.

(c) Any rents or other Lease Obligations collected by the Seller or Purchaser after the Closing Date shall be applied first to the calendar month in which they are collected, then to the rentals due and payable for the calendar month (or, with respect to additional rents, percentage rents and other sums, the applicable period relating thereto) in which the Closing occurs, if unpaid, then to any months (or other applicable periods if past due) subsequent to the month (or other applicable period if past due) in which the Closing Date occurs, and then to any

rents or other Lease Obligations past due for the calendar months (or other applicable periods) preceding the calendar month (or other applicable period) in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Arrears”). Any rents or other Lease Obligations collected by Purchaser that are to be applied to the Arrears pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be held by the Purchaser for the account of the Seller, and, after deducting therefrom all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the collection thereof, the Purchaser shall remit the same to the Seller. For a period of one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall make good faith efforts to collect any Arrears from the Tenants; provided, however, Purchaser will not be required to institute any proceeding to collect any such Arrears. Seller agrees not to commence any collection action or to terminate any Lease after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, and Seller further agrees not to attempt to collect Arrears from any Tenant with a Lease that remains in effect as of Closing, provided, however, that, the foregoing prohibition shall not apply to Gold’s Gym, Jem Industries and any other Tenant that has vacated or vacates its premises or the Lease for which has expired or been terminated prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall not waive any amounts owing with respect to Arrears owing for the period prior to the Closing nor modify any Lease so as to reduce any base rents or charges owed under such Lease for the period prior to the Closing without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent.

(d) All assessments (other than real estate taxes) imposed by any governmental agency for improvements to benefit the Properties (“Assessments”) that are completed or imposed before the Effective Date shall be paid by Seller to the extent allocable to the period prior to Closing. All other Assessments shall be paid by Purchaser.

(e) Except for those amounts being retained in the Post-Closing Lease Escrow, all leasing commissions, finders’ fees, Tenant allowances and credits shall be paid in full by Seller or credited to Purchaser at Closing to the extent allocable to the period prior to Closing.

(f) With respect to any residential units that (a) are not in “made-ready” condition on the Closing Date, and (b) have been vacant for more than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price of Five Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($550.00) per unit. For purposes hereof “made-ready” shall mean that vacant apartments have been thoroughly cleaned (including steam cleaning or similar deep cleaning of all carpeted areas, or carpet replacement if replacement would have been performed by Seller in the ordinary course of business prior to Closing if Seller was not selling the Property), walls cleaned or repainted consistent with Seller's past practices and that all apartments contain the following: (1) refrigerator-freezer unit in working condition; (2) dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, oven, washer and dryer in working condition; (3) plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems, all in good working order; (4) floors fully covered with a combination of tile or linoleum and carpeting; (5) blinds and/or drapes on all windows in good operating condition or better, and (6) there is no material damage to the doors, walls, ceilings, fixtures, floors or windows, such that the apartment unit is in a condition (consistent with the standards of similar units in the Property) for immediate rental and occupancy.

(g) In addition, if any obvious error in either the calculations or amount of final figures used in any closing adjustment is discovered after Closing, Purchaser and Seller agree to correct such error promptly upon notice from the other party and to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such adjustment, provided, that, in all events, the parties shall make such

adjustments, or confirm in writing that no such adjustments are necessary, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the calendar year in which the closing occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party hereto not bringing to the attention of the other party, in writing within the period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the calendar year in which the closing occurs, a potential claim for a re-adjustment in prorations based on error, miscalculation or omission shall be deemed to have automatically waived and relinquished such claim.

(h) The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive Closing for the Survival Period.

8.2 Transfer Taxes, Recording and other Fees

(a) Purchaser and Seller shall share equally any escrow fees charged by the Title Company in connection with administering the Closing and all other fees charged by the Escrow Agent. Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to its inspection of the Properties.

(b) Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one half (1/2) of all recording costs (other than recording costs for the removal of any title exceptions that Seller is responsible for pursuant to this Agreement, which cost shall be paid by Seller), transfer taxes, documentary stamps or similar fees charged for the conveyance of real property where the Properties are located. Seller and Purchaser shall each execute (and swear to where required) any returns, affidavits and/or statements required in connection with such taxes or fees. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one half (1/2) of all escrow fees charged by the Title Company in connection with administering the Closing and one half (1/2) of all escrow fees charged by the Escrow Agent to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(c) All other customary purchase and sale closing costs shall be paid by Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the customs with respect to title closings where the Properties are located.

8.3 Settlement Statement. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to jointly prepare a schedule of prorations (the “Settlement Statement”) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing. The parties shall correct any errors in prorations as soon after the Closing as amounts are finally determined, which obligation shall survive Closing for the Survival Period.

Article X
DEFAULTS

10.1 Seller’s Default.

(a) Subject to the balance of this Section 10.1, if Seller shall default in performance of its obligations under this Agreement before Closing, or if Seller breaches in any material respect any of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.1, and such default or failure is not cured by Seller within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of written notice from Purchaser of such default or failure, subject to Seller’s right to extend the Closing pursuant to Section 7.9, then, Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity to either (a) (i) terminate this Agreement and instruct Escrow Agent to immediately deliver the Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) to Purchaser, and (ii) receive from Seller reimbursement of Purchaser’s actually incurred reasonable and necessary costs and expenses paid to third parties related to this Agreement and the Inspections, not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (collectively, “Reimbursable Costs”), and after Purchaser has recovered all such amounts, both parties shall be relieved of and released from any further liability hereunder other than those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) seek the equitable remedy of specific performance, but only if such suit for specific performance is filed within sixty (60) days after the then-scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser agrees that it shall not be permitted to file any claim or pursue any cause of action arising from any express obligations of Seller under this Agreement (x) for lis pendens against any Property, (y) until the aggregate amount of all damages exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Basket”), in which case, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover for all such damages regardless of the Basket, or (z) unless such claim or cause of action is filed not later than the expiration of the period which is nine (9) months after Closing (the “Survival Period”). Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation, any claim against Seller for any other damages of any type or kind including, without limitation, the right to claim any punitive, consequential, or speculative damages, except in the event of fraud or intentional misconduct.

(b) To the extent that Seller has any obligations or liabilities of any kind after Closing under this Agreement, such liability shall in all events be limited to, and no action may be taken for amounts greater than, an aggregate amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price by one (1) percent (1%) (the “Cap”). Guarantor hereby unconditionally, irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees Seller’s payment obligations under this Section 10.1 (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and Guarantor shall perform, or cause Seller to perform, the Guaranteed Obligations. This guarantee is, subject to the balance of this Section 10.1(b), a continuing guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collection, and will remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations have been performed and until any applicable appeal periods or statute of limitations with respect to same shall have expired. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional and is in no way conditioned on or contingent upon (a) any attempt to enforce in whole or in part any Guaranteed Obligations, (b) the existence or continuance of any party hereto as legal entities, (c) the consolidation or merger of any party hereto with or into any other entity, (d) the sale, lease or disposition by any party hereto of all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, (e) an event of bankruptcy of any party hereto, or (h) the adequacy of any means Purchaser may have of obtaining payment related to the

Guaranteed Obligations hereunder. Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the amendment or modification to the terms of this Agreement and the other documents to be executed or delivered in connection herewith and waives any right to receive notice thereof. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby guaranteed shall affect, impair or be a defense to this guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty for which Purchaser and its affiliates receive continuing consideration and all obligations to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in effect for the Survival Period, unless a claim is filed against any Seller within the Survival Period, in which event Guarantor’s obligations shall remain in effect until such claim has been resolved, by litigation or otherwise, and all applicable appeal periods have expired. The Guarantor shall maintain cash or cash equivalents equal to the Cap and Guarantor will remain a going concern in good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization during the period of time Guarantor’s obligations hereunder remain in effect, including to the extent applicable, retaining such amounts in reserves or otherwise pursuant to a plan of liquidation or dissolution; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of liquidation or dissolution of Guarantor, the Guarantor shall have the right to deliver an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a regional or national bank and in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Guarantor, in the full amount of the then unused portion of the Cap. In addition to the foregoing, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the Guaranteed obligations:

(i) The Guaranteed Obligations are not assignable by Guarantor.

(ii) Purchaser may proceed and have right of action solely against any Guarantor and may grant relief or indulgence to any other party without such actions being or being deemed to be a release of the Guarantor's liability.

(iii) Guarantor shall have no rights of indemnification or subrogation against Seller unless and until the Agreement is performed to the satisfaction of Purchaser.

(iv) This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether or not Seller continues to be owned in whole or in part by Guarantor.

(v) Purchaser shall be entitled to payment of its reasonably and actual attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Section 10.1(b) and otherwise in seeking to collect payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantor hereby joins separately in this Agreement solely to evidence its agreement to be bound by and to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.1(b). The provisions of this Section 10.1(b) shall survive Closing.

(c) In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any of the representations or warranties of Seller that survive Closing contained in this Agreement or in any of Seller’s Closing Documents is false or inaccurate, or if Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement that survive Closing, and if such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or such other breach or default was actually known to Purchaser prior to Closing and Purchaser nevertheless closes on the purchase of the Properties, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted and to have waived such breach or default, Seller shall have no

liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or such other breach or default, and Purchaser shall have no cause of action with respect thereto. The parties agree that Purchaser shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the information contained in the Diligence Materials listed on Exhibit 4.1(f). Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement of which Seller has actual knowledge. Furthermore, except with respect to any covenants, representations or warranties set forth herein which are expressly to survive Closing hereunder, any and all covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall merge in the deed and the other documents delivered at Closing and shall not survive Closing hereunder.

(d) The terms and conditions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing.

10.2 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser shall fail to close as and when set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon giving notice to Purchaser, in which event Seller shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) to Seller as liquidated damages, and, after Seller has received the Deposit, both parties shall be relieved of and released from any further liability hereunder other than those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Furthermore, Seller agrees that in no event shall it be entitled to, seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, consequential, speculative or punitive damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.2 shall not limit Seller’s right and claim against Purchaser for any portion of the total Deposit which is not paid to Seller to the extent Seller is entitled thereto, or if Purchaser shall default in any obligations under this Agreement or be in breach of any indemnity that survives Closing (as opposed to any such breach or default of Purchaser’s obligations before Closing, for which Seller shall have no remedy other than with respect to Purchaser’s failure to close hereunder as set forth above in this Section 10.2). The terms and conditions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the Closing.

The parties agree that the Seller's actual damages would be difficult to ascertain and that the Deposit is the parties' best and good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty.

Article XI
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

11.1 Casualty. The risk of loss for damage to the Properties by fire or other Casualty (as defined below) shall remain will Seller until Closing. If, prior to the Closing, any Property or any portion thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”) such that, (i) a Tenant of such Premises shall have the right to terminate its Lease or ▇▇▇▇▇, in full or in part, the payment of rent thereunder, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of a contractor selected by Purchaser, the costs to repair the Casualty exceed two percent (2%) of the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the applicable Property pursuant to Section 2.1 or, (iii) the time to restore the applicable Property to its condition as of the Effective Date would exceed one hundred fifty (150) days, or (iv) there is a material reduction in access to or parking for the applicable Property (in any such event, “Material Damage”), then Purchaser may elect, by written notice (such notice, a “Casualty Termination Notice”) to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Seller of the occurrence of such Casualty, either to (a) proceed to Closing with respect to the damaged

Property, in which event, at Closing, Seller shall pay or assign to Purchaser Seller’s rights to all monies received or receivable by Seller, if any, in connection with any insurance maintained by Seller with regard to the damaged Premises as a result of such fire or casualty, and the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement shall take place in the manner described herein, with the Purchaser receiving a credit for any deductible or retention related to Seller’s insurance, and the amount of any underinsured or uninsured damage caused by such Casualty, or (b) terminate this Agreement as to the damaged Property only, in which event the Purchase Price payable at Closing shall be decreased by the amount allocated to the damaged Property pursuant to Section 2.1. In the event a Property suffers a Casualty that entitles Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, and Purchaser terminates this Agreement with respect to all Properties, Purchaser shall have the right to instruct the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit (together with any interest thereon) to Purchaser and, after Purchaser’s receipt of the Deposit, neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder with respect to the applicable Properties other than those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, if Purchaser should elect to terminate this Agreement in the event of Material Damage to one or more but not all of the Properties, then within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of a Casualty Termination Notice, Seller may elect by written notice to Purchaser to terminate this Agreement as to the remaining Properties, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Reimbursable Costs. If Purchaser fails to so provide a Casualty Termination Notice, Purchaser shall conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing. If applicable, the Closing Date shall be extended in order to permit Purchaser the full 10-Business Day period in which to elect whether to proceed to Closing or terminate this Agreement. If, prior to the Closing, any Property or any portion thereof shall be damaged by fire or other that does not constitute Material Damage, then the parties shall proceed to Closing, in which event, at Closing, Seller shall pay or assign to Purchaser Seller’s rights to all monies received or receivable by Seller, if any, in connection with any insurance maintained by Seller with regard to the Property as a result of such Casualty, and the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement shall take place in the manner described herein, with the Purchaser receiving a credit for any deductible, self-insured, co-insured or underinsured amounts related to Seller’s insurance.

11.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, a Property or any portion thereof shall be taken by any governmental authority under a power or threat of eminent domain, such that there is a material reduction in access to or parking for the applicable Property, or any Required Tenant would have the right to terminate its Lease, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the same in writing and then Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such taking or pending action, including notice of any condemnation award payable in connection therewith, either to (a) proceed to Closing, in which event, at Closing, Seller shall assign Seller’s rights to any condemnation award to Purchaser, or (b) terminate this Agreement as to the affected Properties as provided in Section 11.1 above (and Seller shall have the same right to terminate this Agreement and pay to Purchaser the Reimbursable Costs as provided in Section 11.1 above). If Purchaser fails to provide such notice, Purchaser shall conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing. If applicable, the Closing Date shall be extended in order to permit Purchaser the full 10-Business Day period in which to elect whether to proceed to Closing or terminate this Agreement.

The provisions of this section shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

12.5 Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

12.6 Drafting Ambiguities; Interpretation; Captions. In interpreting any provision of this Agreement, no weight shall be given to, nor shall any construction or interpretation be influenced by, the fact that counsel for one of the parties drafted this Agreement, each party recognizing that it and its counsel have had an opportunity to review this Agreement and have contributed to the final form of same. Unless otherwise specified (a) whenever the singular number is used in this Agreement, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular; (b) the words “consent” or “approve” or words of similar import, mean the prior written consent or approval of the party whose consent is required, (c) the words “include” and “including”, and words of similar import, shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, and (d) the preamble and recitals to this Agreement, and all exhibits and schedules attached hereto, are incorporated herein by reference. The captions at the beginning of the sections in this Agreement are for convenience in locating the context but are not part of the context.

12.7 Business Days. The term “Business Day” or “business days” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in Maryland are obligated or authorized by law or executive action to be closed to the transaction of normal banking business. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included at, unless such last day is not a Business Day, then such date will be extended to the next Business Day.

12.8 Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Electronic transmission of an original signature shall be deemed an original and shall be binding on the parties.

12.9 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Exclusive venue for any action

brought with respect to this Agreement shall lie in the State court for the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, or if applicable, in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.

12.10 Severability. In the event any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal, invalid, unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, but each such term and provision shall be valid and shall remain in full force and effect.

12.11 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior written or oral agreements or understanding pertaining to such matter to which either of the parties is a party to or beneficiary of. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived orally, and no such amendment or modification will be effective for any purpose unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought.

12.12 Confidentiality. Purchaser and Seller agree to maintain the confidentiality of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereunder, and neither shall disclose any such information without the consent of the other party, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or as may be required by applicable law or for those disclosures reasonably necessary to be made to the Title Company, surveyors, investors, attorneys, accountants, lenders, engineers, agents and other consultants reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or as otherwise required by law. Neither party shall release a press release regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until Closing shall have occurred, without the prior written consent of the other party. The provisions of this Section 12.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.13 Timing. Time is of the essence of this Agreement (other than with respect to such extension and cure rights that are expressly stated herein).

12.14 Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party's right to enforce against the other party by the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

12.15 Further Assurances. The parties hereto will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all further action at the requesting party’s expense, as each party may reasonably request from time to time from the other in order to perfect and protect the various agreements and understandings of the respective parties hereto as set forth in this Agreement, and to further enable each party to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and carry out the intent and purposes of the parties hereto. This provision shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

12.16 Assignment. Seller shall not directly or indirectly assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Purchaser may assign, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including the right to purchase any Property, to one or more affiliates, and Purchaser may delegate at the Closing the right to receive the Deed for any Property to one or more of its affiliates, provided. Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any proposed assignment or designation and provide a copy of the proposed assignment. Such assignment or designation shall not release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 12.16, “affiliate” shall mean any entity controlled by or under common control with, or which controls Purchaser (the term “control” for these purposes means the ability, whether by the ownership of shares or other equity interests, by contract or otherwise, to elect a majority of the directors of a corporation, to make management decisions on behalf of, or independently to select the managing partner of, a partnership, or otherwise to have the power independently to remove and then select a majority of those individuals exercising managerial authority over an entity, and control shall be conclusively presumed in the case of the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity interests).

12.17 Several Obligations. All such entities comprising the “Seller” described in this Agreement shall have several, and not joint, liability for the obligations of the applicable Seller hereunder.

12.18 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale (as applicable) of the Properties as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Code, provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement, (b) the exchanging party shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary, (c) neither party shall be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by the other party; and (d) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-exchanging party had the exchanging party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange (such payment obligation shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement). Neither party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact complies with § 1031 of the Code.

12.19 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation between Seller and Purchaser relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the nonprevailing party its actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs at both the trial and appellate level.

12.20 No Personal Liability. No employee, officer, director, trustee, partner, member, shareholder, affiliate or other owner of Seller, or any investment manager or other agent of Seller, or such respective parties’ constituent employees, officers, directors, trustees, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, investors or other owners, shall be personally liable or responsible for any duties, obligations or liabilities of the Seller hereunder or in any other

connection with the Property or this transaction. No employee, officer, director, trustee, partner, member, shareholder, affiliate or other owner of Purchaser, or any investment manager or other agent of Purchaser, or such respective parties’ constituent employees, officers, directors, trustees, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, investors or other owners, shall be personally liable or responsible for any duties, obligations or liabilities of the Purchaser hereunder or in any other connection with the Property or this transaction. This Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

12.21 Required State and County Disclosures. Purchaser acknowledges the disclosures set forth on Exhibit 12.21 attached hereto.
