(a) Purchaser acknowledges that it has received and reviewed that certain title report having an effective date of December 25, 2007, designated Title No. 829281 (the “Report”) from Royal Abstract of New York LLC, as agent (“Royal”). At Closing, Purchaser shall obtain no less than fifty percent (50%) of its title insurance from First American Title Insurance Company of New York (“FATCO”) (on a direct basis through ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) and the remainder from Royal and/or such other reputable title insurance companies licensed in the State of New York selected by Purchaser (collectively, the “Title Company”) with respect to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property. Royal (or such other Title Company selected by Purchaser) shall act as lead insurer; it being agreed that if FATCO, Royal or such other title insurer as may be selected by Purchaser is unwilling to insure over any item that FATCO, Royal or one or more other reputable title insurers is willing to insure without additional costs (unless Seller agrees to pay such cost) or condition, Purchaser (and, subject to requisite approvals, its mortgage lender, if any) shall obtain all title insurance with respect to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and financing related thereto from the insurers willing to so insure (it being further agreed to if FATCO is among such willing insurers, at least fifty percent (50%) of the purchased coverage shall be purchased from FATCO directly through ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇).

(b) Purchaser has directed Royal to furnish a copy of the Report to Seller. Purchaser shall direct the Title Company to deliver a copy of any update or continuation to the Report (each, a “Continuation”) to Seller simultaneously with its delivery of the same to Purchaser. If exceptions to title appear on any Continuation, which are not Permitted Encumbrances and are unacceptable exceptions to Purchaser (“Title Objections”), Purchaser shall notify Seller of such Title Objections within the earlier of (i) seven (7) business days after Purchaser receives such Continuation, and (ii) the Closing Date (as defined below). If and to the extent that Purchaser fails to so notify Seller of any such Title Objections as described above,

such Title Objections shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and included as “Permitted Encumbrances”. If Purchaser timely notifies Seller in writing of any such Title Objections, Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, shall have up to sixty (60) days, in the aggregate, from the date Seller receives notice of such Title Objections to remove or cure such exceptions (and, if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended accordingly). Seller shall be deemed to have given notice to Purchaser that Seller refuses to cure any unacceptable exceptions, which Seller may so do in its sole discretion, unless Seller, within the sooner to occur of (x) ten (10) business days after receipt of notice from Purchaser, or (y) one (1) business day prior to Closing, shall notify Purchaser in writing that Seller will attempt to cure such unacceptable exceptions. Subject to the terms of Section 6(d) hereof, if Seller fails or refuses to cure said unacceptable exceptions within the time period above provided, Purchaser may (A) terminate this Agreement within ten (10) business days after Seller gives notice, or is deemed to have given notice, that Seller refuses to cure such unacceptable exceptions and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, or (B) if Purchaser fails to so terminate, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such exceptions and accept title subject thereto, in which event there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. In the event that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause “(A)”, the terms of Section 20(h) hereof shall control and govern.

(c) Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any liens encumbrances or other title exceptions (and the same shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances) (A) over which any reputable national title insurer is willing to directly insure (without additional cost to Purchaser or where Seller pays such cost), (B) which will be extinguished upon the transfer of the Property, or (C) which are the responsibility of the Tenant (or others claiming by through or under the Tenant) under the terms of the Sotheby’s Lease. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser shall be not deemed to have accepted or consented to any items or other matters appearing in the Report other than as set forth on Schedule B hereto.

(d) It is expressly understood that in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or institute any proceeding, or to otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any Title Objections on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if, at the Closing, the Property is subject to any (i) mortgage or mortgages (other than the Existing Mortgage, provided Purchaser shall assume the same pursuant to terms of Section 38 hereof) affecting the Premises or any portion thereof, or (ii) Title Objections that come of record on or after December 25, 2007, which matters are not Permitted Encumbrances and are, as to clause (ii) above, voluntarily or consensually made or entered into by Seller or any Seller Parties (all of the foregoing, as to clauses (i) and (ii) above, are collectively referred to as “Liens”), Seller shall be obligated, at Seller’s expense, regardless of cost, to pay the same and cause any related Lien to be discharged as a condition to Closing, it being agreed that Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to pay and discharge any such Liens. In addition to Liens (and not in limitation of Seller’s obligations with respect thereto), in the event that at the Closing all or any portion of Property is subject to any other liens encumbering the Property (including judgments, lis pendens and federal, state and municipal tax liens other than for real estate taxes payable by Tenant pursuant to the Sotheby’s Lease) that do not constitute Permitted Exceptions which are in liquidated amounts and which may be satisfied by the payment of money (including the preparation or filing of appropriate satisfaction instruments in connection therewith (collectively, “Limited Cure Items”), Seller shall be obligated, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to cause the same to be

paid, discharged and removed of record at or prior to Closing; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be obligated to spend in respect of Limited Cure Items in excess of $5,000,000, in the aggregate.

(e) Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property subject to any and all notes or notices of violations of law, or municipal ordinances, orders, designations or requirements whatsoever noted in or issued by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or bureau or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises (any of the following, collectively, “Violations”), or any condition or state of repair or disrepair or other matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Property. Seller shall have no duty to remove or repair any condition, matter or thing existing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Premises. Seller shall have no duty to remove or repair any of the aforementioned Violations, or other conditions, and Purchaser shall accept the Premises subject to all such Violations, the existence of any conditions at the Premises which would give rise to such Violations, if any, and any governmental claims arising from the existence of such Violations, in each case without any abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price.

7. APPORTIONMENTS.

(a) The following shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”) on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date and based upon the actual number of days in the month and a 365 day year:

(i) subject to Section 7(b), prepaid rents, fixed rents and additional rents payable pursuant to the Sotheby’s Lease (including, without limitation, operating expense escalation payments, real estate tax escalation payments and percentage rent, if any, payable under the Sotheby’s Lease);

(ii) prepaid fees for licenses and other permits, if any, assigned to Purchaser at the Closing;

(iii) all real estate taxes (including business improvement district charges) on the Property shall be prorated based on the actual current tax ▇▇▇▇. If such tax ▇▇▇▇ has not yet been received by the Apportionment Date, then Purchaser and Seller shall estimate the real estate taxes based upon Purchaser’s and Seller’s good faith estimate of the change in the amount of the previous year’s tax ▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser and Seller shall after the Closing reprorate the real estate taxes as soon as the actual current tax ▇▇▇▇ is available;

(iv) all other operating expenses (if any) payable by Seller with respect to the Property; and

(v) all other operating income (if any) receivable by Seller with respect to the Property.

In all cases, the apportionments under clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 7(a)

shall be subject to Tenant’s obligations under the Sotheby’s Lease, such that to the extent any such items are payable directly to a third party by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Sotheby’s Lease, rather than by Seller, the same shall not be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser and to the extent same have not been paid by Tenant, Purchaser shall look solely to the Tenant for payment or reimbursement of same.

(b) (i) If as of the Closing Date, Tenant is in arrears on any amounts due and payable to Seller as landlord under the Sotheby’s Lease, such amounts, together with any interest and penalties due thereon pursuant to the Sotheby’s Lease, shall be credited to Seller and shall increase the balance of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign and convey to Purchaser upon Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any such arrears.

(ii) If, as of the Closing Date, Tenant has paid to Seller any rents, pursuant to the Sotheby’s Lease, which are attributable to periods which occur on or after the Closing Date, whether as a one time payment or in installments (e.g. for real property tax escalations), such amounts shall be retained by Seller and shall be credited to Purchaser against the balance of the Purchase Price.

(c) Purchaser shall have no right to receive any rental insurance proceeds which relate to the period prior to the Closing Date and, if any such proceeds are delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days following receipt thereof, pay the same to Seller. Seller shall have no right to receive any rental insurance proceeds which relate to the period on or after the Closing Date and, if any such proceeds are delivered to Seller, Seller shall, within five (5) business days following receipt thereof, pay the same to Purchaser.

(d) To the extent transferable, and subject to the terms of Section 38(f) hereof, Seller shall be entitled to a credit with respect to the amount of Lender Reserves and Escrows (as defined below).

(e) At or prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser and/or their respective agents or designees will jointly prepare a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which will show the net amount due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the adjustments and prorations provided for in this Agreement, and such net due amount will be added to or subtracted from the cash balance of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 4, as applicable.

(ii) Neither Purchaser nor any person, group, entity or nation that Purchaser is acting, directly or indirectly for, or on behalf of, is named by any Executive Order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or is otherwise a banned or blocked person, group, entity, or nation pursuant to any law that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and Purchaser is not engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation.

(a) The closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Closing”) shall occur, and the documents referred to in Section 17 shall be delivered upon tender of the Purchase Price provided for in this Agreement, at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, on July 1, 2009 (such date, or the date Seller sets for the Closing if Seller shall elect to (i) accelerate such date pursuant to the terms of Section 18(b) hereof, or (ii) adjourn such date pursuant to any adjournment rights in favor of Seller expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, being referred to in this Agreement as the “Scheduled Closing Date”; and the actual date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Seller’s attorneys, Fried, Frank, Harris, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or upon notice by Purchaser, at the office of the attorneys for Lender (or such other mortgage lender Purchaser may utilize in connection with a defeasance pursuant to Section 38(e) hereof). Time is of the essence as to the Purchaser’s and Seller’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereunder on the Scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing time of the essence requirement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Scheduled Closing Date may be adjourned by up to two (2) business days by Seller in order to accommodate a three-day defeasance process (including, without limitation, in order to defease the Existing Financing on a date permitted for defeasance under the Loan Documents).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may, upon prior written notice to Purchaser (an “Accelerated Closing Notice”), accelerate the Scheduled Closing Date to a date occurring no earlier than the later to occur of (i) April 1, 2008, (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such Accelerated Closing Notice, and (iii) the date that is (x) thirty (30) days following the Consent Outside Date, provided that Lender’s Consent shall have been obtained on or before the Consent Outside Date, or (y) ninety (90) days following the Consent Outside Date, in the event that Lender’s Consent shall not have been obtained (or shall have lapsed and not been renewed after having been obtained) on or before the Consent Outside Date. If reasonably necessary to coordinate Seller’ acquisition of a replacement property in connection with a desired 1031 like-kind exchange, Seller may revoke an Accelerated Closing Notice, provided that (A) such revocation shall be delivered by written notice to Purchaser (an “Acceleration Revocation”) not less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the then Scheduled Closing Date, and (B) if the Closing shall entail a defeasance of the Existing Mortgage pursuant to Section 38(e) hereof (rather than an assumption of the Existing Mortgage pursuant to the Section 38(c) hereof), Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any Lost Financing Costs (as herein defined) upon the sooner to occur of (I) the date that shall be five (5) business days following the Acceleration Revocation, or (II) the Closing. As used herein, the terms “Lost Financing Costs” shall mean any material and non-refundable third-party expenses expended (or committed to be expended) by Purchaser from and including the date of an Accelerated Closing Notice to and including the date of an Acceleration Revocation, in connection with Purchaser’s procuring mortgage and/or mezzanine financing intended to finance Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property, including, without limitation, any rate-lock or loan commitment fees, good faith deposits, and reasonable legal fees and expenses relating directly to any such financing. Seller’s obligation to reimburse Purchaser for Lost Financing Costs as above-provided shall be limited to those costs previously identified by Purchaser in a timely delivered Lost Financing Cost Summary (as hereinafter defined). Within five (5) business days following written request by Seller, which request may be made from time to time following an Accelerated Closing Notice, Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) furnish to Seller a written description and quantification (a “Lost Financing Cost Summary”) of any costs that would constitute Lost Financing Costs if Seller were to send an Acceleration Revocation to Purchaser as of the date of such Lost Financing Cost Summary. If Seller makes payment to Purchaser with respect to Lost Financing Costs and Purchaser later receives any benefit from its payment of such Lost Financing Costs, Seller shall be entitled to a credit at Closing in the amount of such benefit realized by Purchaser.

20. DEFAULT BY PURCHASER OR SELLER; REMEDIES.

(a) If (i) Purchaser shall default in the payment of the Purchase Price or in the performance of any of its other obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or in its obligation to timely deposit documents or funds in escrow as required pursuant to Section 38(e)(ii), or (ii) Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice to Purchaser, Seller’s sole remedy by reason thereof (in lieu of prosecuting an action for damages or proceeding with any other legal or equitable course of conduct, the right to bring such actions or proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Seller, to the extent legally permissible, following and upon advice of its counsel) shall be to commence an expedited arbitration in accordance with Section 20(g) asserting that Purchaser has defaulted under this Agreement. If the Arbitrator decides (I) that Purchaser was in default of its obligations hereunder to the extent described in the foregoing clauses “(i)” or “(ii)” of this Section 20(a), and (II) if Seller has alleged a default by Purchaser to the extent described in clause “(i),” that Seller was ready, willing and able to effect the Closing on the Scheduled Closing Date and all of Purchaser’s conditions precedent to effectuating a Closing, as per the terms of Section 10(b), were satisfied as of the Scheduled Closing Date (except to the extent, if any, such conditions precedent require any action or cooperation of Purchaser), then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and, upon such termination, Seller shall be entitled to (x) such remedies as prescribed pursuant to Section 20(c) hereof, and (y) retain the Deposit as liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default hereunder, it being agreed that the damages by reason of Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and thereafter Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.

(b) If (i) Seller shall default in any of its obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or in its obligation to timely deposit documents or funds in escrow as required pursuant to Section 38(e)(iii) or (ii) Seller shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice to Seller, Purchaser as its sole remedy by reason thereof (in lieu of prosecuting an action for damages or proceeding with any other legal or equitable course of conduct, the right to bring such actions or proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Purchaser, to the extent legally permissible, following and upon advice of its counsel), shall be to commence an expedited arbitration in accordance with Section 20(g) asserting that Seller has defaulted under this Agreement. If the Arbitrator decides (I) that Seller was in default of its obligations hereunder to the extent described in the foregoing clauses “(i)” or “(ii)” of this Section 20(b) and (II) if Purchaser has alleged a default by Seller to the extent described in clause “(i),” that Purchaser shall have been ready, willing and able to effect the Closing on the Scheduled Closing Date, and all of Seller’s conditions precedent to effectuating a Closing, as per the terms of Section 10(a) hereof were satisfied as of the Scheduled Closing Date (except (A) payment of the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller and (B) to the extent, if any, such conditions precedent

require any action or cooperation of Seller)), then Purchaser may elect one (1) of the following two (2) remedies and shall not be entitled to any other remedies (it being agreed that Purchaser’s election to pursue the remedy provided under the following clause “A” shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of any rights to thereafter pursue the remedies provided in clause “B” in respect of the subject default): (A) specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder or (B) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit, in accordance with the terms of Section 20(f) hereof, and exercise its rights under Section 20(d) hereof. Upon such return pursuant to the foregoing clause “(B)”, and subject to the terms of Sections 20(d) and 20(f), this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) Purchaser shall have no right to specific performance, if Seller shall be prohibited from performing its obligations hereunder by reason of any law, governmental regulation, or other legal requirement applicable to Seller, and (II) Purchaser shall not be prohibited from pursuing its rights and remedies under Section 20(b)(B) hereof, notwithstanding previously electing the remedy of specific performance, if Seller shall be unable to duly perform its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding its specific performance obligations.

(c) Subject to the terms of Section 20(g) hereof, in the event of the termination of this Agreement by Seller pursuant to Section 20(a) hereof, Seller shall be entitled to retain or apply the Deposit as elected by Seller in its sole discretion and upon notice to Purchaser, instruct FATCO to deliver all Arbitration Termination Documents to Seller, whereupon Seller may elect to file the same, as applicable, with the AAA and the Supreme Court, and instruct Royal to return the Confessions of Judgment to Seller marked “cancelled.”

(d) Subject to the terms of Sections 20(g) and 20(f) hereof, in the event of the termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 20(b)(B) hereof, Purchaser shall be entitled, upon notice to Seller, to (x) instruct FATCO to deliver all Arbitration Termination Documents to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser may elect to destroy the same, and (y) instruct Royal to deliver the Confessions of Judgment to Purchaser, and proceed with the Arbitration of Tenant’s Claims and to revive the Action, provided that any action to reinstate the Arbitration or revive the Action may only be taken following the release of the Arbitration Termination Documents to Purchaser and must be taken within forty five (45) days following the date of such release. If the Arbitration Termination Documents are released to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 20(d) and Purchaser and/or Tenant elects to reinstate the Arbitration and revive the Action, Seller will not object to Purchaser and/or Tenant taking such action, and in no event will either party’s rights in the Legal Proceedings be prejudiced or in any way diminished by reason of this Agreement, any delay occasioned by this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement.

(e) As used herein, “Interest” shall mean the Default Rate, calculated from and including the date upon which Seller shall have been obligated to pay the subject item accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the return of the Deposit), to and including the date upon which the entire such amount shall have been paid or returned to Purchaser in immediately available federal funds, as per wire instructions to be furnished by Purchaser.

(f) In any case where Seller is obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to return the Deposit to Purchaser, (i) the Deposit shall accrue Interest from and after the day that is ten (10) Business Days after such amount first becomes due and payable until repaid in full (with all accrued Interest thereon), (ii) the Deposit, together with any Interest thereon, shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available federal funds for credit to Purchaser at such bank account or accounts, and divided in to such amounts, as may be reasonably directed by Purchaser, and (iii) if not repaid in full (with all accrued Interest thereon) within thirty (30) days after the date first due, Purchaser shall be entitled to elect to, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, without limiting any of Purchaser’s other rights and remedies in respect of Seller’s obligation to return of the Deposit (including against Seller under this Agreement and against the Seller Principals under the Principal Guaranty), receive from Royal the Confessions of Judgment and enter and enforce the same against the Principal Guarantors. Promptly following any return of the Deposit (with all accrued Interest thereon) to Purchaser by Seller or one or both of the Seller Principals in accordance with the requirements of this Section 20(f), Royal shall, unless previously released to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing clause “(iii)”, return the Confessions of Judgment to Seller marked “cancelled.”

(g) Any actions arising out of this Agreement, including without limitation, the resolution of any disputes as to whether a party has defaulted in or breached any of its obligations under this Agreement and/or whether a party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or the Security Agreement, shall be, at the request of either party, resolved by binding arbitration conducted in New York City, with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serving as sole arbitrator, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 20(g). If ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is unable or unwilling to serve as arbitrator, each party shall, within three (3) business days following notice to both parties from ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or his designated representative of his unavailability, designate one (1) arbitrator of its choosing, and the two (2) designated arbitrators shall, within three (3) business days of their appointment, designate a third arbitrator who shall be an attorney having at least ten (10) years of commercial real estate experience (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or such panel of three (3) arbitrators, the “Arbitrator”). If the Arbitrator consists of a panel of three (3) arbitrators, all decisions of the Arbitrator shall require agreement by at least two (2) of such three (3). Any such arbitration will be commenced by service of the claimant’s demand for arbitration upon counsel for the respondent. Simultaneously with or promptly following serving its demand for arbitration, the claimant shall send a copy of such demand to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ together with a request that ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serve as the arbitrator with respect thereto and shall send a copy of such demand to each of Royal and FATCO in their capacities as escrow agents under the COJ Escrow Agreement and Termination Escrow Agreement, respectively. Any answer to the demand for arbitration will be served on counsel for the claimant within five (5) business days after service of the demand, and any reply to any counterclaim asserted in the answer will be served on counsel for the respondent and the Arbitrator within three (3) business days after service of the answer. Claimant’s demand for arbitration, any answer to such demand and any reply to such answer, shall be served on the Arbitrator simultaneously with service on opposing counsel, unless the Arbitrator has yet to be determined at such time. Within ten (10) business days after service of the demand for arbitration or appointment of a panel of three (3) arbitrators, whichever is later, the Arbitrator will give the parties’ counsel notice of the time, date and place of the arbitration hearing, such hearing to be scheduled to begin within ten (10) business days after such notice. The arbitration will be conducted subject to Rules E-1, E-3, E-5, E-8 and E-9 of the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 20(g) shall supersede any

conflicting or inconsistent provision of such Rules. At the Arbitrator’s discretion, the Arbitrator may direct the production of documents in advance of the hearing. If an arbitration is commenced pursuant to this Section 20(g), none of Purchaser, Tenant or Seller may seek to revive the Action or Arbitration until the Arbitrator has rendered its final decision and following such decision, the Arbitration and Action may only be revived if and to the extent expressly permitted hereunder upon a termination of this Agreement and consistent with the Arbitrator’s decision. In the event that either party fails to timely designate its alternate arbitrator within the required three (3) business day period, and such failure is not cured within two (2) business after written notice thereof, the other party may designate such third arbitrator. The terms of this Section 20(g) shall not apply to the respective rights and remedies of Seller and Purchaser following the Closing, which rights and remedies shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, include those available at law, in equity and otherwise.

(h) Subject to Section 20(g), in the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 6(b) or Section 13(b) or due to the failure of a condition to closing set forth in Section 10 to occur where such failure was not the result of a breach by either party to the extent described in clauses “(i)” or “(ii)” of Sections 20(a) or (b) (each, a “No-Fault Termination”), (x) the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, (y) Purchaser shall be entitled, upon notice to Seller, to instruct FATCO to deliver all Arbitration Termination Documents to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser may elect to destroy the same, and (z) Purchaser shall be entitled, upon notice to Seller, to instruct Royal to deliver the Confessions of Judgment to Purchaser, and proceed with the Arbitration of Tenant’s Claims and to revive the Action. If the Arbitration Termination Documents are released to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 20(h) and Purchaser and/or Tenant elects to reinstate the Arbitration and revive the Action, Seller will not object to Purchaser and/or Tenant taking such action, and in no event will either party’s rights in the Legal Proceedings be prejudiced or in any way diminished by reason of this Agreement, any delay occasioned by this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement. In the event of a No-Fault Termination, any action to reinstate the Arbitration or revive the Action may only be taken following after the release of the Arbitration Termination Documents to Purchaser and must be taken within forty five (45) days following the date of such release.

(i) The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination hereof.

If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 25 shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

34. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) Any consent or approval to be given hereunder (whether by Seller or Purchaser) shall not be effective unless the same shall be given in advance of the taking of the action for which consent or approval is requested and shall be in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent or approval requested of Seller or Purchaser may be withheld by Seller or Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d) Seller shall have the right to structure the sale of the Property as a forward or reverse exchange thereof for other real property of a like-kind to be designated by Seller (including the ability to assign this Agreement to an entity established in order to effectuate such exchange including a qualified intermediary, an exchange accommodation title holder or one or more single member limited liability companies that are owned by any of the foregoing persons), with the result that the exchange shall qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and IRS Revenue Procedure 2000-37. Purchaser shall promptly execute any and all documents reasonably requested by Seller to effect such exchange, and otherwise assist and cooperate with Seller in effecting such exchange, provided that (i) any such documents shall not impose upon Purchaser any obligation beyond those arising under this Agreement other than de minimis or ministerial obligations, and (ii) any additional costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser as a result of structuring such transaction as an exchange (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements), as opposed to an outright sale, shall be borne by Seller, and Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all losses, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) solely to the extent incurred by Purchaser by reason of its performance of its obligations under this Section 34(d). The foregoing indemnity shall not be limited by the Floor or the Cap. None of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the completion of such exchange program and the acquisition of the replacement property. The provisions of this Section 34(d) shall survive the Closing or the termination hereof.

(e) This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to constitute an “executory contract for the sale of real property under which the vendee has or is entitled to possession”, as contemplated on under New York Tax Law Section 250, and it is acknowledged that any right of possession of Tenant to the Premises pursuant to the Sotheby’s Lease is and shall be separate and distinct from any rights and remedies of Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Seller agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner, member, principal, parent, owner, subsidiary or other affiliate of Purchaser, or any officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner or principal of any such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate (collectively, “Purchaser’s Affiliates”), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller agrees to look solely to Purchaser and its assets for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to ▇▇▇ or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Purchaser’s Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

38. EXISTING FINANCING.

(a) Existing Financing. Seller is presently the borrower under that certain mortgage loan (the “Existing Financing”) encumbering the Property, originated by Bank of America, N.A. (“Lender”), in the original principal amount of $235,000,000, pursuant to and in accordance with all of those instruments, documents and other materials described on Schedule C hereto (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). The Existing Financing has been securitized, and is presently serviced by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Servicer”).

(b) Lender’s Consent. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge the mutual benefit of obtaining the written consent (“Lender’s Consent”) of the Lender and/or the Servicer, as applicable (which, for purposes of this Section 38(b), shall be collectively referred to as “Lender”), to the conveyance of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Existing Financing by, Purchaser, as contemplated under this Agreement, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement. In furtherance thereof, Seller and Purchaser hereby confirm the following anticipated protocol for obtaining Lender’s Consent, expressly agreeing, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be under any affirmative obligation, expressly or implicitly, to adhere to or carry out such protocol, nor shall (except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein) Seller or Purchaser be in deemed to be in default or breach under this Agreement for the failure to obtain Lender’s Consent for any reason or no reason:

(i) On or before the date that is ten (10) business days following the date hereof, Seller agrees that it shall notify the Lender, in writing and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, of the transaction contemplated hereby, and request that the Lender promptly furnish written application requirements and conditions for obtaining Lender’s Consent (the “Initial Consent Request”). In connection with the Initial Consent Request, Seller shall deliver to Lender a copy of this Agreement, and is hereby authorized to indicate in its submittal that Purchaser intends to make Parent available as the

substitute “Borrower Principal” in respect of obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 12.6, and Articles 4, 13, 15 and 18 of the Loan Agreement.

(ii) Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall, promptly upon receipt from Lender of any written response to the Initial Consent Request containing Lender’s application requirements and conditions (the “Consent Requirements”), forward the same to the other party (in accordance with the terms of Section 19 hereof).

(iii) In respect of the Consent Requirements, if any:

(1) Purchaser shall, provided the Consent Requirements are, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, reasonable and customary for similar transactions and not materially inconsistent with the provisions of Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement, proceed with reasonable promptness and diligence to deliver to the Lender a formal application requesting Lender’s Consent (the “Request Application”), and same shall be accompanied by check or wire of immediately available funds by Purchaser in payment of (x) the $25,000 processing fee required under terms of Section 7.5(b) the Loan Agreement, and (y) any other application fees and any advance legal and processing fees required by the terms of the Consent Requirements or as reasonably requested by Lender to commence and expedite the processing of the Request Application (collectively, the “Assumption Costs”). Simultaneously with or promptly following sending the Request Application to Lender, Purchaser shall send a copy thereof to Seller.

(2) Following submission of the Request Application to Lender, Purchaser shall provide to Lender such information, financial statements, and any additional information (as is under Purchaser’s control) as may be requested by Lender, including authorization to conduct background checks and credit inquiries; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to accommodate any such request by Lender that in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, is not reasonable and customary for similar transactions and is materially inconsistent with the provisions of Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement.

(3) If required by the terms of the Consent Requirements, the Loan Agreement or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender, Purchaser shall identify Parent as the substitute “Borrower Principal” in respect of obligations and liabilities accruing from and after the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 12.6, and Articles 4, 13, 15 and 18 of the Loan Agreement, and provide Lender with such information, financial statements, and any additional information as may be dictated by the Consent Requirement or as otherwise reasonably requested by Lender, including authorization to conduct background checks and credit inquiries with respect to Purchaser and Parent (in its capacity as substitute “Borrower Principal”), provided that that (w) any liability to such substituted Borrower Principals shall, expressly, be only on a going-forward basis, as to liabilities and obligations first accruing from and after Closing, (x) in no event shall Purchaser be required to offer any one or more individuals, entities or other parties other than Parent as a substitute Borrower Principal except as may be acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, (y) in no event shall Purchaser (or any substitute Borrower Principal) be required to post a letter of credit or furnish other credit enhancement, unless Borrower and/or such substitute Borrower Principal shall elect, in its sole discretion, to do so, and (z) any obligations and liabilities of such substituted Borrower

Principals shall, expressly, be only in respect of Sections 12.6, and Articles 4, 13, 15 and 18 of the Loan Agreement.

(4) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall request that Lender release any presently existing Borrower Principals from all obligations and liability under and with respect to the Existing Financing accruing from and after the Closing Date, and the return to Seller of a letter of credit, if any, delivered in connection with the Existing Financing by Seller or any affiliate of Seller.

(iv) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that in order for any Lender’s consent to the conveyance of the Property to, and the related assumption of the Existing Financing by, Purchaser, to constitute “Lender’s Consent” as contemplated under this Section 38, the same must (x) be in writing and delivered to both Seller and Purchaser, and (y) be acceptable in form and substance to Seller and Purchaser in their respective sole discretion.

(v) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree the Lender’s Consent may be conditional upon or subject to (x) the closing of the purchase and the sale of the Property contemplated under this Agreement, and/or (y) the execution and delivery of certain specified documents and deliveries specified therein.

(vi) Seller and Purchaser each agree, if requested in writing by the other party, to confirm in writing within five (5) business days following receipt of such request, whether Lender’s Consent has been obtained, in order to avoid any ambiguity or misunderstanding between the parties, and to dictate whether the terms of either Section 38(c) or Section 38(e) hereof shall apply.

(vii) If Lender’s Consent is not obtained on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of this Agreement and Seller asserts that such failure is the result of Purchaser’s default in its obligations under Sections 38(b)(iii)(1) or 38(b)(iii)(2) and/or 38(b)(iii)(3), then, subject to Section 20(g), as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedies with respect to such default, (A) Seller may immediately terminate the Security Agreement and (B) Seller or the grantor under the Security Agreement may terminate the UCC-1s by filing UCC-3 financing statement amendments.

If Lender Consent shall be obtained and accepted by Seller and Purchaser in accordance with the terms of Sections 38(b)(iv), (v) and (vi), and the Existing Financing shall be assumed by Purchaser upon the Closing, then:

(i) Purchaser shall, upon Closing, execute and/or deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender one or more agreements, legal opinions, resolutions, certificates, hazard and title insurance endorsements, and such other instruments and documents as the Lender may require in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property, all to the extent expressly provided for in the Lender’s Consent (including, without limitation, if required at the time of Closing, the provision of any updated information, payment of any additional fees, update of title insurance, and delivery of any additional instruments or documents as the Lender

may require to produce a timely Lender’s Consent as of the Closing), and Purchaser shall otherwise comply with all of the requirements and provisions of Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement and the Lender’s Consent to the extent same are incumbent upon the proposed successor borrower (as distinguished from the existing borrower). Seller shall comply with all of the requirements and provisions of Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement and the Lender’s Consent to the extent to same are incumbent upon the existing borrower (as distinguished from the proposed successor borrower).

(ii) Seller shall execute and deliver (and, if applicable, cause any existing Borrower Principals to execute and deliver) such releases of the Lender as may be requested by the Lender to obtain Lender’s Consent.

(iii) Purchaser may request, but shall not demand as a condition to Closing, the Lender’s consent to any matter other than the Lender’s Consent, and the obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement shall not be subject to or conditioned upon obtaining any other consent or changes to the Loan Documents of any kind from the Lender or pursuant to the Existing Financing or Loan Documents. Seller acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall prevent Purchaser from engaging in discussions and negotiations with Lender, Servicer and their respective legal counsels in respect of closing documentation, deliveries and requirements.

(v) All costs and expenses relating to an assumption of the Existing Financing, including without limitation, those costs and expenses as set forth in Section 38(b)(iii)(1), shall be governed by the terms of Section 38(f) below.

(d) Delay in Closing.

In the event that Lender’s Consent is obtained on or before the Consent Outside Date, but Closing does not occur hereunder within the timeframe contemplated by the terms of the Lender’s Consent (whether stated as an expiration date, or, effectively, as a condition or requirement thereto), Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Lender’s Consent may lapse and/or expire, in which case:

(i) Seller and Purchaser shall make commercially reasonable efforts to renew, confirm and/or reapply for, as applicable, a new Lender’s Consent and/or reactivate/re-implement the previously furnished Lender’s Consent, all on the same substantive terms and conditions of any previously furnished Lender’s Consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender’s Consent shall have been previously obtained, but not timely renewed, reactivated and/or ratified on or before the Consent Renewal Deadline but is renewed, reactivated and/or ratified within thirty (30) days following the Consent Renewal Deadline then (x) the Existing Financing shall not be defeased and shall instead be assumed by Purchaser on the Scheduled Closing Date and (y) either party may extend the Scheduled Closing Date to a date occurring no later than the date that is thirty (30) days after the date on which Lender’s Consent was renewed, reactivated and/or ratified.

(ii) Purchaser shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller’s defeasance of the Existing Financing, including, without limitation, (x) executing and delivering any commercially reasonable documentation required in connection therewith, and if necessary, deliver the same into escrow with the Title Company or other escrow agent charged with effectuating the defeasance (the “Defeasance Agent”) up to forty-eight (48) hours in advance of Closing (to wit, “day 1” of the defeasance process), (y) causing funds equal to the sum of the balance of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at Closing and fifty percent (50%) of the Defeasance Costs (as defined below) be placed into escrow up to twenty-four (24) hours in advance of Closing (to wit, “day 2” of the Defeasance process) and (z) entering into a reasonable and customary escrow agreement with the Defeasance Agent (the “Defeasance Escrow Agreement”) which shall provide, among other things, (1) for the deposit of documents and funds with the Defeasance Agent, and the timetable with respect thereto, (2) that necessary funds may be released from escrow to purchase the defeasance collateral immediately prior to the transfer of title to the Property to Purchaser, (3) that any Purchaser funds shall be released from escrow and return to Purchaser in the event that Purchaser is entitled to a return of the Deposit, and (4) such other terms and conditions as are customary in transactions involving the simultaneous sale of property and the defeasance of the mortgage encumbering such property, in conjunction with a “New York style” assignment of such mortgage.

(iii) Seller shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the defeasance, including, without limitation, (x) executing and delivering any commercially reasonable documentation required in connection therewith (including, but not limiting to, having Seller’s legal counsel deliver one or more required legal opinions to for the benefit of

Lender, Servicer and/or the Defeasance Agent), and if necessary, deliver the same into escrow with the Defeasance Agent up to forty-eight (48) hours in advance of Closing (to wit, “day 1” of the defeasance process), (y) if and to the extent that the amount Deposited by Purchaser under subparagraph (ii)(y) is not sufficient to satisfy all of Defeasance Costs and otherwise consummate the Closing, funds equal to such shortfall shall be placed into escrow with the Defeasance Agent up to twenty-four (24) hours in advance of Closing (to wit, “day 2” of the Defeasance process and (z) entering into the Defeasance Escrow Agreement.

(iv) Seller acknowledges that if the Existing Financing is defeased, Purchaser intends for the mortgage securing the Existing Financing (the “Existing Mortgage”) to be assigned to Purchaser’s new mortgage lender, in order to effectuate certain mortgage recording tax savings. Seller acknowledges that any such mortgage recording tax savings realized by Purchaser in connection with any such assignment of the Existing Mortgage shall be for the sole benefit of Purchaser, and Seller shall have no claim or right thereto. Seller agrees to reasonably and diligently, in good faith, cooperate with Purchaser, Lender and Purchaser’s prospective mortgage lender in order to facilitate and effectuate an assignment of the mortgage securing the Existing Financing, including, but not limited to, executing and delivering any commercially reasonable documentation required in connection therewith, and if necessary, deliver the same into escrow with the Defeasance Agent up to forty-eight (48) hours in advance of Closing (to wit, “day 1” of the defeasance process), provided that (x) any such documents shall not impose upon Seller any material obligation beyond those arising under this Agreement, and (y) subject to the provisions of Section 38(f) below, any additional costs and expenses incurred by Seller as a result of such assignment (including reasonable attorneys fees), shall be borne by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all losses, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) solely to the extent incurred by Seller by reason of its performance of its obligations under this Section 38(e)(iv).

(w) Purchaser shall pay to Lender upon Closing (or reimburse Seller, if Seller shall have previously paid the same), if and to the extent not theretofore paid, (x) the Assumption Costs, (y) the 1% assumption fee contemplated by Section 7.5(c)(i) of the Loan Agreement, and (z) any out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including without limitation, all processing fees, application fees, recording fees, underwriting and rating agency fees, reasonably attorney fees, incurred by Lender (and chargeable to Borrower) in connection with the Lender’s Consent as contemplated by Section 7.5(c)(i) of the Loan Agreement;

(x) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the balance of the Purchase Price payable at Closing pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) hereof in the amount of any principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due and unpaid to lender in respect of The Existing Financing that is assumed by Purchaser and verified in writing by Lender, which

verification shall be conclusively binding upon Seller and Purchaser (absent manifest error) (collectively, the “Assumed Loan Liabilities”);

(y) Purchaser shall reimburse Seller (in the same manner as is provided for herein for the payment of the balance of the Purchase Price) for any and all (i) deposits, reserves and escrows being held as of the Closing Date by or for the benefit of the Lender (or their servicer) under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reserves or escrows for real estate taxes, insurance, deferred maintenance, capital replacements, re-letting costs and/or tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and (ii) for any and all other funds derived from the Property held by the Lender (or the Servicer) in any lockbox or other account or sub-account, subject to adjustment in accordance with proration provisions specified herein, in each case (collectively, the “Lender Reserves and Escrows”), if and to the extent that (x) the amount of such Lender Reserves and Escrows, and the location and characterization thereof, are verified in writing by Lender, and are duly transferred and assigned to and for the benefit of Purchaser with the same force and effect as if Purchaser had posted such funds for its own account, (y) Purchaser would otherwise be required, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, to post such funds for its own account as a condition to Closing, and (z) Lender is not required to remit such funds directly to Seller; and

(z) At the Closing, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s request, assign all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the Lender Reserves and Escrows to Purchaser, pursuant to such documents and other instruments reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Lender.

(ii) In the event that Lender’s Consent shall not be obtained and the Existing Financing shall be defeased in accordance with the terms of Section 38(e), then Seller and Purchaser shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate costs and expenses (collectively, the “Defeasance Costs”) related to a defeasance of the Existing Financing, comprised of (i) the costs of obtaining the replacement collateral, (ii) all processing fees of the Defeasance Agent, the Lender and the Servicer, and (iii) any application fees (other than the $25,000 processing fee paid to Lender by Purchaser pursuant to Section 38(b)(iii)(1) hereof and Lender’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation legal fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with the proposed assumption of the Existing Financing by Purchaser, the payment of which shall be the sole obligation of Purchaser), attorneys’ fees, recording fees, underwriting and rating agency fees charged by the Defeasance Agent, the Lender and the Servicer. It is acknowledged that Defeasance Costs are not intended to include the base cost of any replacement collateral, but only the cost differential between the amount of a principal payment and the purchase cost of any replacement collateral, all as determined by the Defeasance Agent; any such base cost shall be the sole obligation and liability of Seller and may be paid by or at the direction of Seller out of funds paid by Purchaser in its payment of the Purchase Price to Seller.

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of this ___ day of January, 2008, by and among (i) ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, having an office c/o RFR Holding LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Seller”), (ii) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor”), each an individual having an address c/o RFR Holding LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, (iii) Sotheby’s, a Delaware corporation, having an office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Purchaser”), and (iv) Royal Abstract of New York LLC, as escrow agent, having an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Escrow Agent”).

WITNESSETH :

WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, Seller and Purchaser have executed that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to the real property known as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain Guaranty of even date herewith, the Guarantors have agreed to guaranty the performance of certain contingent liabilities of Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, the Guarantors have delivered to Escrow Agent original, executed, and dated Affidavits of Judgment by Confession (collectively, the “Confessions of Judgment”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


1.	Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

2.	Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of one (1) set of original, executed, and dated Confessions of Judgment, which shall be held by Escrow Agent subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Confessions of Judgment shall not be deemed effective and delivered until they are released from escrow in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

3.	Escrow Agent shall deliver the Confessions of Judgment to Seller or to Purchaser, as the case may be, under the following conditions:

		a.	the Confessions of Judgment shall be delivered to Seller upon the Closing; or

		b.	the Confessions of Judgment shall be delivered to Seller following receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor from Seller stating that Seller is entitled to the same pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if Purchaser shall not have given written notice of


			objection in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 set forth below; or

		c.	the Confessions of Judgment shall be delivered to Purchaser following receipt by Escrow Agent of written demand therefor from Purchaser stating Purchaser is entitled to the same pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if Seller shall not have given written notice of objection in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 set forth below; or

		d.	the Confessions of Judgment shall be delivered to Purchaser or Seller as directed by joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser.

4.	Upon receipt of a written demand for the Confessions of Judgment by Seller or Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall promptly give written notice thereof (including a copy of such demand) to the other party. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Confessions of Judgment, by giving written notice of such objection to Escrow Agent at any time within ten (10) business days after such party’s receipt of notice from Escrow Agent, but not thereafter. Such notice shall set forth the basis for objecting to the delivery of the Confessions of Judgment. Upon receipt of such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall promptly give a copy of such notice to the party who filed the written demand. If Escrow Agent shall have timely received such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Confessions of Judgment, until (x) Escrow Agent receives joint written notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the delivery of the Confessions of Judgment, in which case Escrow Agent shall then convey the Confessions of Judgment in accordance with said direction, or (y) Escrow Agent receives a copy of a decision of the Arbitrator that (A) is certified by the Arbitrator or by each of Seller and Purchaser, as a true and correct copy of the Arbitrator’s final decision and (B) directs the delivery of the Confessions of Judgment, in which event Escrow Agent shall then convey the Confessions of Judgment in accordance with said direction, or (z) in the event Escrow Agent shall receive a written notice advising that an arbitration over entitlement to or effectiveness of the Confessions of Judgment has been commenced pursuant to Section 20(g) of the Purchase Agreement, Escrow Agent may deposit the counterparts of the Confessions of Judgment with the Arbitrator. Escrow Agent acknowledges that in the event that an arbitration commences pursuant to Section 20(g) of the Purchase Agreement, none of Seller, Tenant, or Purchaser may request a return of the Confessions of Judgment until Escrow Agent receives either (i) written confirmation from Seller and Purchaser that such arbitration has been settled or (ii) a final decision from the Arbitrator.

5.	Escrow Agent may rely and act upon any instrument or other writing reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and purporting to be signed and presented by any person or persons purporting to have authority to act on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement, except for Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or default. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless the same is in writing


	and signed by Purchaser, Seller, and Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Seller and Purchaser for any expenses (including reasonable legal fees), including all of Escrow Agent’s fees and expenses with respect to any interpleader action incurred in connection with this Agreement, and such liability shall be joint and several; provided, however, that, as between Purchaser and Seller, the prevailing party in any dispute over the Confessions of Judgment shall be entitled to reimbursement by the losing party of any such expenses paid to Escrow Agent. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to Escrow Agent’s duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Purchaser or Seller that, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to hold the Confessions of Judgment and may decline to take any other action. After delivery of the Confessions of Judgment in accordance herewith, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation of any kind whatsoever.

6.	Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign upon ten (10) business days prior notice to Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly select a successor Escrow Agent and shall notify Escrow Agent of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of Escrow Agent of its intent to resign. If Escrow Agent has not received notice of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within such period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to select on behalf of Seller and Purchaser a bank or trust company to act as successor Escrow Agent hereunder. At any time after the ten (10) business day period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deliver the Confessions of Judgment to any successor Escrow Agent selected hereunder, provided such successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser an assumption agreement whereby it assumes all of Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder. Upon the delivery of the Confessions of Judgment, the successor Escrow Agent shall become the Escrow Agent for all purposes hereunder and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and the resigning Escrow Agent shall have no further responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

7.	If Escrow Agent is authorized to release the Confessions of Judgment from escrow by written directions as described in Section 3(c) above, then Escrow Agent shall deliver same to Purchaser.

8.	If Escrow Agent is authorized to release the Confessions of Judgment from escrow by written directions as described in Section 3(a) or (b) above, then Escrow Agent shall first ▇▇▇▇ the Confessions of Judgment “cancelled” prior to releasing same.

9.	If Escrow Agent is authorized to release the Confessions of Judgment from escrow by written directions as described in Section 3(d) above, then Escrow Agent shall deliver (or destroy) the Confessions of Judgment to Purchaser or Seller as so directed by joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser.

10.	All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications which are required or permitted to be given under this Agreement or which any party hereto desires to give with respect to this Agreement (each, a “Notice”) shall be given in accordance


	with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, except that Notices delivered to Escrow Agent shall be sent in any manner permitted by the Purchase Agreement to:

	Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇


11.	It is expressly understood that Escrow Agent acts hereunder as an accommodation to Purchaser and Seller and as a depository only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it, or for the form of execution of such instruments, or for the identity, authority or right of any person executing or depositing the same, or for the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which Escrow Agent or the parties may act.

12.	The duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial. The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those set forth in this Agreement and shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine, and Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

13.	Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter referred to herein in full reliance upon and by and with the advice of counsel which may be selected by it (including any member or employee of its firm) and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the advice of such counsel.

14.	By its execution hereof, Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and save Escrow Agent harmless from any and all loss, damage, claims, liabilities, judgments and other cost and expense of every kind and nature which may be incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of its acting as Escrow Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which shall include the fees and disbursements of any member or employee of its firm) except in the case of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The provisions of this Paragraph 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

15.	This Agreement and all matters relating hereto shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

16.	This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

17.	This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.


18.	It is understood and agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreement.

AFFIDAVIT OF JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION


STATE OF NEW YORK	)
	) ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK	)

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, residing at _______________________, New York, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

1. I hereby confess judgment in favor of Sotheby’s, a Delaware corporation, or its successors or assigns (“Sotheby’s”) for the sum of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) and hereby authorize Sotheby’s or its successors, assigns or legal representatives to enter judgment for that sum, plus accrued interest and less any payments on account, against me in the county of my residence and in any jurisdiction where such judgment is enforceable in the circumstances set forth below.

2. This Affidavit of Judgment by Confession is executed pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3218 to secure Sotheby’s against a liability arising out of the following facts:


	a.	On or about ___________, Sotheby’s entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, having an address at c/o RFR Holding LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Seller”).

	b.	Pursuant to the Contract, Seller agreed to sell, and Sotheby’s agreed to purchase the land and building at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Property”).

	c.	Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Sotheby’s has paid to Seller a cash deposit of Fifty Million ($50,000,000.00) Dollars (the “Deposit”).


	d.	Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Seller will be obligated to repay the Deposit to Sotheby’s under certain circumstances, including certain circumstances in which Sotheby’s and Seller do not consummate the closing of the sale of the Property.

	e.	Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Contract and payment of the Deposit, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and I, as principals of Seller, executed and delivered a Guaranty, dated ___________, for the benefit of Sotheby’s (the “Guaranty”). Under the Guaranty, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and I agreed, as Guarantors, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, jointly and severally to guarantee Seller’s obligation to repay the Deposit to Sotheby’s as required under the Contract.

	f.	Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Contract and payment of the Deposit, and to secure performance of my obligations under the Guaranty, I executed and delivered this Affidavit of Judgment by Confession to _______________, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), to be held in escrow pending closing of the sale of the Property or repayment of the Deposit. In the event the sale of the Property does not close and the Deposit is not repaid to Sotheby’s as required under the Contract and/or the Guaranty, Escrow Agent is to deliver this Affidavit of Judgment by Confession to Sotheby’s.

	g.	If the sale of the Property does not close, Seller will be required to repay the Deposit to Sotheby’s as provided in the Contract, and, in the event that Seller fails to repay the Deposit as required under the Contract, I will be


		obligated to pay the amount of the Deposit to Sotheby’s as required under the Guaranty.

3. Upon release from escrow of this Affidavit of Judgment by Confession, I will therefore be indebted to Sotheby’s for up to the total sum of Fifty Million ($50,000,000.00) Dollars.

4. This Confession of Judgment may be entered without any prior notice to myself, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or Seller.

5. I further authorize entry of judgment against me for costs and disbursements as provided in Section 3218(b) of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Sotheby’s in the entry of this judgment and any subsequent proceedings to enforce such judgment.

6. This Confession of Judgment does not involve an installment sale as prohibited by New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3201.

(d) the Release Documents shall be delivered to Purchaser or Seller as directed by joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser.

4. Upon receipt of a written demand for the Release Documents by Seller or Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall promptly give written notice thereof (including a copy of such demand) to the other party. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Release Documents, by giving written notice of such objection to Escrow Agent at any time within ten (10) business days after such party’s receipt of notice from Escrow Agent, but not thereafter. Such notice shall set forth the basis for objecting to the delivery of the Release Documents. Upon receipt of such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall promptly give a copy of such notice to the party who filed the written demand. If Escrow Agent shall have timely received such notice of objection, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Release Documents, until (x) Escrow Agent receives joint written notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the delivery of the Release Documents, in which case Escrow Agent shall then convey the Release Documents in accordance with said direction, or (y) Escrow Agent receives a copy of a decision of the Arbitrator that (A) is certified by the Arbitrator or by each of Seller and Purchaser, as a true and correct copy of the Arbitrator’s final decision and (B) directs the delivery of the Release Documents, in which event Escrow Agent shall then convey the Release Documents in accordance with said direction, or (z) in the event Escrow Agent shall receive a written notice advising that an arbitration over entitlement to or effectiveness of the Release Documents has been commenced pursuant to Section 20(g) of the Purchase Agreement, Escrow Agent may deposit the counterparts of the Release Documents with the Arbitrator. Escrow Agent acknowledges that in the event that an arbitration commences pursuant to Section 20(g) of the Purchase Agreement, none of Seller, Tenant, or Purchaser may request a return of the Release Documents until Escrow Agent receives either (i) written confirmation from Seller and Purchaser that such arbitration has been settled or (ii) a final decision from the Arbitrator.

5. Escrow Agent may rely and act upon any instrument or other writing reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine and purporting to be signed and presented by any

person or persons purporting to have authority to act on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement, except for Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or default. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser, Seller, and Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by Seller and Purchaser for any expenses (including reasonable legal fees), including all of Escrow Agent’s fees and expenses with respect to any interpleader action incurred in connection with this Agreement, and such liability shall be joint and several; provided, however, that, as between Purchaser and Seller, the prevailing party in any dispute over the Release Documents shall be entitled to reimbursement by the losing party of any such expenses paid to Escrow Agent. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to Escrow Agent’s duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Purchaser or Seller that, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to hold the Release Documents and may decline to take any other action. After delivery of the Release Documents in accordance herewith, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation of any kind whatsoever.

6. Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign upon ten (10) business days prior notice to Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly select a successor Escrow Agent and shall notify Escrow Agent of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of Escrow Agent of its intent to resign. If Escrow Agent has not received notice of the name and address of such successor Escrow Agent within such period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to select on behalf of Seller and Purchaser a bank or trust company to act as successor Escrow Agent hereunder. At any time after the ten (10) business day period, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deliver the Release Document to any successor Escrow Agent selected hereunder, provided such successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to Seller and Purchaser an assumption agreement whereby it assumes all of Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder. Upon the delivery of the Release Documents, the successor Escrow Agent shall become the Escrow Agent for all purposes hereunder and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and the resigning Escrow Agent shall have no further responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

7. If Escrow Agent is authorized to release the Release Documents from escrow by written directions as described in Section 3(a) or (b) above, then Escrow Agent shall (a) date the Release Documents the date of such authorization, (b) deliver two (2) counterparts of the Mutual Release to each of Purchaser and Seller at their respective addresses first written above, and (c) deliver one (1) original and one (1) copy of the Filed Documents to Seller and one (1) copy of the Filed Documents to Purchaser, each at their respective addresses first written above.

8. If Escrow Agent is authorized to release the Release Documents from escrow by written directions as described in Section 3(c) above, then Escrow Agent shall physically destroy all of the counterparts of all of the Release Documents, unless otherwise instructed in writing by Purchaser.

9. If Escrow Agent is authorized to release the Release Documents from escrow by written directions as described in Section 3(d) above, then Escrow Agent shall deliver (or

destroy) the Release Documents to Purchaser or Seller as so directed by joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser.

10. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications which are required or permitted to be given under this Agreement or which any party hereto desires to give with respect to this Agreement (each, a “Notice”) shall be given in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, except that Notices delivered to Escrow Agent shall be sent in any manner permitted by the Purchase Agreement to:

11. The duties of Escrow Agent are purely ministerial. The Escrow Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those set forth in this Agreement and shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent to be genuine, and Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give it any notice on behalf of any party in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

12. Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter referred to herein in full reliance upon and by and with the advice of counsel which may be selected by it (including any member or employee of its firm) and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the advice of such counsel.

13. By its execution hereof, Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and save Escrow Agent harmless from any and all loss, damage, claims, liabilities, judgments and other cost and expense of every kind and nature which may be incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of its acting as Escrow Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which shall include the fees and disbursements of any member or employee of its firm) except in the case of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The provisions of this Paragraph 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14. This Agreement and all matters relating hereto shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

15. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

16. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

17. It is understood and agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreement.

PRINCIPAL GUARANTY

THIS PRINCIPAL GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) entered into as of the ___ day of ___________, 2008, and made by ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, having an address at c/o RFR Holding LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as guarantor (“▇▇▇▇▇”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, having an address at c/o RFR Holding LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as guarantor (“▇▇▇▇▇”; ▇▇▇▇▇, together with ▇▇▇▇▇ being collectively referred to herein as the “Guarantor”) for the benefit of SOTHEBY’S, a Delaware corporation, having an address at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Purchaser”).

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, Purchaser is entering into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Contract”), with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership having an address c/o RFR Holding LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Seller”), with respect to the fee interest in certain real property located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

WHEREAS, any capitalized items used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Contract.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Purchaser is, on, or about the date hereof, delivering to Seller the sum of Fifty Million ($50,000,000.00) Dollars in respect of the Deposit.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contract, Seller may be required, under certain prescribed circumstances, to (a) return the Deposit to Purchaser and (b) pay to Purchaser Interest on the Deposit, all as more particularly set forth in the Contract (all such liabilities and obligations being hereinafter referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ are principals of Seller.

WHEREAS, Guarantor will be directly benefited by Seller entering into the Contract with Purchaser.

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to, and material inducement for, Purchaser entering into the Contract, Seller has caused Guarantor to guaranty, pursuant to this Guaranty, the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten ($10.00) Dollars and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:


Section 1. Terms of Guaranty.

Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the prompt payment and performance when due of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(a) The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the occurrence, from time to time, of any of the following with respect to the Contract, even though notice may not have been given to, or received from, Guarantor, or the further consent of Guarantor thereto may not have been obtained:


	(i) The waiver by Purchaser of the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition to be performed or observed by Seller;

	(ii) The extension of the time for the payment of any sums owing or payable under the Contract or the time for the performance of any other obligation under or arising out of or on account of the Contract;

	(iii) The supplementing, modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of the Contract or any of the obligations of Seller or Purchaser set forth in the Contract;

	(iv) Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Purchaser or any other person to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on such person in or by virtue of the Contract, or any action on Purchaser’s or such person’s part granting indulgence or extension in any form;

	(v) The voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar application, action or proceeding affecting Seller or Guarantor, or any of their assets;

	(vi) The release of Seller from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Contract by operation of law or otherwise; or

	(vii) The termination of the Contract.

(b) Guarantor hereby acknowledges that this Guaranty (i) is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment, and not merely of collection; and (ii) is a direct and primary obligation of Guarantor (and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are not as a surety). Guarantor hereby waives diligence and all demands, protests, presentments and notices of every kind and nature, including, but not limited to, notices of presentment, demand for payment or performance, protest, notice of default or nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any of the obligations Guarantor has hereby guaranteed.

(c) Guarantor hereby waives any and all legal requirements that Purchaser institute any action or proceeding, at law or in equity, against Seller or anyone else, or exhausts its remedies against Seller or anyone else, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations as a condition precedent to bringing an action or proceeding against Guarantor under this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby acknowledges that Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder jointly and severally with Seller and as a principal until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied, notwithstanding any fact, act, event or occurrence which might otherwise operate as a

legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. All rights and remedies afforded to Purchaser by reason of this Guaranty are separate and cumulative rights and remedies and it is agreed that no one of such rights or remedies, whether exercised by Purchaser or not, shall be deemed to be an exclusion of any of the other rights or remedies available to Purchaser and shall not limit or prejudice any other legal or equitable right or remedy which Purchaser may have.

(d) Guarantor understands that the exercise by Purchaser of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Seller and that Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Purchaser, its successors, endorsees and/or assigns, to exercise in its or their sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Guarantor subordinates all indebtedness owing to Guarantor from Seller to the payment of any amounts due to Purchaser with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement against Seller unless and until all amounts due under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full and all of Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranty shall have been fully performed. To the extent Guarantor’s waiver of these rights of subrogation or reimbursement as set forth in this Guaranty are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, Guarantor agrees that its rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Seller shall be junior and subordinate as to lien, time of payment and in all other respects to Purchaser’s rights against Seller and to Purchaser’s right, title and interest in such collateral or security. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Contracts or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Purchaser in or to the Contracts, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, all such rights of subrogation and participation being hereby expressly waived and released.

(e) Guarantor unconditionally waives any defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been performed in full or that the Guaranteed Obligations are not due and payable or performable pursuant to the express terms of the Contract.

(f) This Guaranty shall survive the exercising of Purchaser’s rights and remedies under the Contract, it being agreed that this Guaranty shall terminate only upon the earlier to occur of (i) full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) the full satisfaction and performance of all of Seller’s obligations under the Contract or (iii) a termination of the Contract pursuant to Section 20(a) thereof.


Section 2. Covenants, Representations and Warranties.

(a) Any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Guaranty shall be brought in a court of record in either the State of New York, County of New York, or of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Guarantor and Purchaser hereby

consenting and submitting to the jurisdiction thereof; and service of process may be made upon Guarantor or Purchaser, by certified or registered mail, at the address to be used for the giving of notice to Guarantor or Purchaser, as applicable, under Section 3(b). Nothing herein shall affect the right of Purchaser to commence legal proceedings or otherwise to proceed against Guarantor in any other jurisdiction or to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable law. In any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby waives any claim that New York County or the Southern District of New York is an inconvenient forum, any claim for special, consequential or punitive damages and the right to interpose any defense based upon any claim of laches and any set-off or counterclaim of any nature or description.

(b) The parties agree that the State of New York has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied hereby, and in all respects, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, matters of construction, validity and performance, this Guaranty and the obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State (without regard to principles of conflict laws) and any applicable law of the United States of America. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law.

(c) Each of Guarantor and Purchaser hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any rights that it may have to a trial by jury in any litigation arising in any way in connection with this Guaranty.

(d) Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and has duly authorized, executed, and delivered the same.

(e) Guarantor represents and warrants that neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will contravene any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which Guarantor is subject or any judgment, decree, franchise, order or permit applicable to Guarantor, or will conflict or will be inconsistent with, or will result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or may be bound or subject.

(f) Guarantor represents and warrants that (i) Guarantor is a principal of Seller, has personal knowledge of and is familiar with Seller’s business affairs and books and records; (ii) that Seller is in sound financial condition as of the date of this Guaranty; (iii) Guarantor has received, and reviewed with competent legal counsel, the Contract and is familiar with the terms and conditions thereof, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the Contract relating to the Guaranteed Obligations and (iv) that, to Guarantor’s knowledge, Seller will be financially able to perform its obligations under the Contract in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.


Section 3. Miscellaneous.

(a) All guaranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Guaranty shall bind the respective successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

(b) Any notice, demand, consent, approval, direction, agreement or other communication (any “Notice”) required or permitted hereunder or under any other documents in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be directed as follows:

or to such changed address or facsimile number as a party hereto shall designate to the other parties hereto from time to time in writing.

(c) Any Notice so sent by national overnight delivery service, or personal delivery shall be deemed given on the date of receipt or refusal as indicated on the return receipt, or the receipt of the national overnight delivery service or personal delivery service. Any Notice sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed given when received as confirmed by the telecopier electronic confirmation receipt. A Notice may be given either by a party or by such party’s attorney. Guarantor or Purchaser may designate, by not less than five (5) business days’ notice given to the others in accordance with the terms of this Section 3, additional or substituted parties to whom Notices should be sent hereunder.

(d) No delay on the part of Purchaser in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder or the failure to exercise same in any instance preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right; nor shall Purchaser be liable for exercising or failing to exercise any such power or right; the rights and remedies hereunder expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Purchaser may or will otherwise have.

(e) In the event that Purchaser shall receive any payments on account of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed, whether directly or indirectly, and it shall subsequently be determined that such payments were for any reason improper, or a claim shall be made against Purchaser that the same were improper, and Purchaser either voluntarily or pursuant to court order shall return the same, Guarantor shall be liable, with the same effect as if the said payments had never been paid to or received by Purchaser, for the amount of such repaid or returned payments, notwithstanding the fact that payments may theretofore have been credited on account of the obligations hereby guaranteed.

(f) This Guaranty may not be modified or amended except by a writing duly executed by the parties hereto.

(g) In the event that Purchaser, for any reason whatsoever, shall deem it necessary to refer this Guaranty to an attorney for the enforcement thereof or of any rights hereunder, by suit or otherwise, there shall be immediately due from Guarantor to Purchaser, in addition to the sums guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty, reasonable attorneys’ fees and actual disbursements, together with all costs and expenses of such action, which costs, expenses, fees and disbursements shall be added to and deemed part of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder; provided, however, that no such amounts shall be due to Purchaser if a court of competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal, if any) conclusively enters judgment in Guarantor’s favor on all claims.

(h) In the event that any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to Guarantor or any circumstance in the jurisdiction governing this Guaranty shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Guaranty and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or to which it shall be held invalid or

unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Guaranty.

Section 4. Joint and Several Liability. ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby acknowledge and agree that each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be and remain jointly and severally liable hereunder as Guarantor.

Section 5. Subject to Certain Limitations in Contract. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Contract contains certain limitations as to when the Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable by Seller and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including without limitation the terms and provisions of Section 1(c) hereof, Purchaser’s right to pursue payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations from Guarantor shall at all times be subject to such limitations.

Section 6. Arbitration. Any actions arising out of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, the resolution of any disputes as to whether either Guarantor has defaulted in or breached any of its obligations under this Guaranty, shall be, at the request of either party, resolved by binding arbitration conducted in New York City, with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serving as sole arbitrator, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 6. If ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is unable or unwilling to serve as arbitrator, each party shall, within three (3) business days following notice to both parties from ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or his designated representative of his unavailability, designate one (1) arbitrator of its choosing, and the two (2) designated arbitrators shall, within three (3) business days of their appointment, designate a third arbitrator who shall be an attorney having at least ten (10) years of commercial real estate experience (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or such panel of three (3) arbitrators, the “Arbitrator”). If the Arbitrator consists of a panel of three (3) arbitrators, all decisions of the Arbitrator shall require agreement by at least two (2) of such three (3). Any such arbitration will be commenced by service of the claimant’s demand for arbitration upon counsel for the respondent. Simultaneously with or promptly following serving its demand for arbitration, the claimant shall send a copy of such demand to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ together with a request that ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ serve as the arbitrator with respect thereto. Any answer to the demand for arbitration will be served on counsel for the claimant within five (5) business days after service of the demand, and any reply to any counterclaim asserted in the answer will be served on counsel for the respondent and the Arbitrator within three (3) business days after service of the answer. Claimant’s demand for arbitration, any answer to such demand and any reply to such answer, shall be served on the Arbitrator simultaneously with service on opposing counsel, unless the Arbitrator has yet to be determined at such time. Within ten (10) business days after service of the demand for arbitration or appointment of a panel of three (3) arbitrators, whichever is later, the Arbitrator will give the parties’ counsel notice of the time, date and place of the arbitration hearing, such hearing to be scheduled to begin within ten (10) business days after such notice. The arbitration will be conducted subject to Rules E-1, E-3, E-5, E-8 and E-9 of the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 6 shall supersede any conflicting or inconsistent provision of such Rules. At the Arbitrator’s discretion, the Arbitrator may direct the production of documents in advance of the hearing. In the event that either party fails to timely designate its alternate arbitrator within the required three (3) business day period, and such failure is not cured within two (2) business after written notice thereof, the other party may designate such third arbitrator.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Guaranty to be effective as of the date and year written above.
