BREP VIII has identified the Kensington Portfolio as an investment to be pursued and consummated by BREP VIII and/or its parallel funds, applicable alternative investment vehicles and/or subsidiaries and certain other investment funds, vehicles, accounts, trusts or companies sponsored or managed by affiliates of BREP VIII (“Other Blackstone Funds” and, together with BREP VIII and their respective affiliates, collectively, “Blackstone”).

B. Purchaser is a subsidiary of BREP VIII and pursuant to that certain Limited Guaranty dated as of April 10, 2015, BREP VIII has guaranteed certain of the obligations of the Purchaser under the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

D. Subject to its rights under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the balance of the Kensington Portfolio not being acquired by BXMT is intended to be acquired directly or indirectly by BREP VIII and the Other Blackstone Funds and by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Other Allocated Assets”). Commercial Loans included in the Other Allocated Assets shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Other Allocated Loans”.

E. (i) The purchase price allocation relating to the acquisition of the BXMT Allocated Loans by BXMT has been reviewed by an independent valuation expert and by a special committee of the Board of Directors of BXMT and (ii) the determination of the allocation of the investment opportunity relating to the Kensington Portfolio and the BXMT Allocated Loans has been made by Blackstone in good faith in accordance with its investment allocation policies and procedures and the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2014, by and between BXMT and BXMT Advisors L.L.C.

F. In connection with the foregoing, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement with respect to BXMT’s acquisition of the BXMT Allocated Loans, and certain other agreements with respect to the rights of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, each of the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Designation. Pursuant to Section 12.9 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Purchaser agrees to promptly designate BXMT, or such Affiliate or Affiliates of BXMT as BXMT may designate, as the Purchaser Party Designee for the BXMT Allocated Loans and BXMT agreed to accept such designation.

2. Purchase and Sale Agreement Obligations.

a. BXMT’s Performance of Obligations. Except for obligations that BXMT is not reasonably capable of performing because Purchaser is the signatory and the Purchaser Representative under the Purchase and Sale Agreement (which obligations the Blackstone Parties agree to timely perform or to cause one of the Other Blackstone Funds or any of their respective Affiliates to timely perform, in each case as required under the Purchase and Sale Agreement), BXMT agrees to timely perform all of the obligations of the Purchaser Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to the BXMT Allocated Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and BXMT’s rights under this Agreement, at each Closing that includes BXMT Allocated Loans, BXMT agrees to pay to the applicable Seller Parties the portion of the Unadjusted Purchase Price allocable to such BXMT Allocated Loans under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as such amount shall be adjusted as expressly provided for under the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ Performance of Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Blackstone Parties agree to timely perform or to cause one of the Other Blackstone Funds or any of their respective Affiliates to timely perform, all of the obligations of the Purchaser Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to the Other Allocated Assets. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Blackstone Parties’ rights under this Agreement, at each Closing that includes Other Allocated Assets, the Blackstone Parties agree to pay or to cause one of the Blackstone Parties’ Affiliates to pay to the applicable Seller Parties the portion of the Unadjusted Purchase Price allocable to such Other Allocated Assets under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as such amount shall be adjusted as expressly provided for under the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

3. Other Rights and Obligations under Purchase and Sale Agreement. Purchaser and BXMT also agree as follows:

a. Amendments; Consents; Approvals. Purchaser agrees that, without the prior written consent of BXMT, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, it shall not amend, supplement or modify the Purchase and Sale Agreement, grant consents or approvals or waive any conditions thereto, in each case to the extent the same affects the BXMT Allocated Loans or the rights or obligations of BXMT (or any Affiliate of BXMT) as a Purchaser Party Designee. Purchaser shall: (i) provide BXMT no less than two (2) days’ advance written notice of any proposed amendments, modifications or supplements to the Purchase and Sale Agreement; (ii) promptly provide BXMT with copies of (A) any written materials received

from the Seller Parties (including, without limitation, memoranda, summaries, complaints and any other materials provided to Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement), and (B) written notices from or to the Seller Parties, the Blackstone Parties, any third-parties or any Governmental Entity given to or received by the Blackstone Parties, in each case relating to the BXMT Allocated Loans or the rights or obligations of BXMT (or any Affiliate of BXMT) as a Purchaser Party Designee; and (iii) endeavor to keep BXMT reasonably informed of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

b. Exercise of Pre-Closing Rights. As the Purchaser Representative under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Purchaser agrees to deliver any notice or election to the Seller Parties with respect to the BXMT Allocated Loans or any of the Purchaser Party rights that relate to BXMT’s rights or obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement as directed by BXMT.

c. Pro Rata Share.

i. “BXMT Pro Rata Share” shall mean the fraction, expressed as a percentage (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the BXMT Allocated Loans as shown on the Signing Portfolio Tape and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of all of the Commercial Loans as shown on the Signing Portfolio Tape.

ii. “Blackstone/▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Pro Rata Share” shall mean the fraction, expressed as a percentage (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Other Allocated Loans as shown on the Signing Portfolio Tape and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of all of the Commercial Loans as shown on the Signing Portfolio Tape.

d. Indemnification Claims Against Seller.

i. Cooperation. The Blackstone Parties and BXMT agree to cooperate fully and to keep each other reasonably informed in connection with respect to any claims for indemnification made against the Seller Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and with respect to any Third Party Claims.

ii.

Allocation of Indemnity Claims. Pursuant to Section 11.6(c)(i)(B) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the liability of the Seller Parties with respect to Section 11.2(a) with respect to Purchased Commercial Loans shall not exceed $250 Million (the “Non-Fundamental Loan Rep Cap”); and pursuant to Section 11.6(c)(iii) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the liability of the Seller Parties under Article XI shall not exceed $6 Billion (the “Aggregate Liability Cap”). BXMT shall promptly notify Purchaser of any claims that BXMT makes against the Seller Parties seeking a recovery under Article XI of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (“BXMT Claims”). BXMT agrees not to pursue or recover from the Seller Parties’ amounts on account of BXMT Claims in excess of the BXMT Pro Rata Share of the Non-Fundamental Loan Rep Cap or the BXMT Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Liability Cap without the consent of Purchaser, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Blackstone Parties shall promptly notify BXMT of any claims that the Blackstone Parties make against the Seller Parties seeking a recovery under Article XI of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (together with the matters referred to in Section 11.2(a) of the French PSA) (“Blackstone Claims”). The Blackstone Parties agree not to pursue or recover from the Seller Parties amounts on account of Blackstone Claims in excess of the Blackstone/▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Pro Rata Share of the Non-Fundamental Loan Rep Cap or the Blackstone/▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Liability Cap without the consent of BXMT, which may be withheld it its sole discretion.

iii.

Equitable Allocation of Deductible. The Blackstone Parties and BXMT agree to equitably allocate between them any recoveries by the Blackstone Indemnity Parties (as hereinafter defined) and the BXMT Indemnity Parties (as hereinafter defined) that are subject to the deductibles set forth in Section 11.6(b) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement in proportion to the BXMT Pro Rata Share and the Blackstone/▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Pro Rata Share.

e. Third-Party Claims.

Purchaser Indemnification. Subject to BXMT’s obligation to first seek recovery from the Seller Parties for Losses recoverable from the Seller Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BXMT and its subsidiaries, Affiliates, consultants, contractors and subcontractors and their respective employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “BXMT Indemnity Parties”) from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from, result from or relate to the Other Allocated Assets that are Transferred to Blackstone.

ii.

BXMT Indemnification. Subject to the Blackstone Parties’ obligation to first seek recovery from the Seller Parties for Losses recoverable from the Seller Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, BXMT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Blackstone Party and its subsidiaries, Affiliates, consultants, contractors and subcontractors and their respective employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Blackstone Indemnity Parties”) from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from, result from or relate to the BXMT Allocated Loans that are Transferred to BXMT.

iii.

Notice of Claims. Each Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii) (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the indemnifying party or parties from whom the indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after obtaining knowledge of any claims that it may have under Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii), as applicable. The notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for indemnification. Failure to give notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii), as applicable, except to the extent that the failure prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to contest that claim. None of BXMT or the Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability pursuant to this Section 3(e) with respect to any Third Party Claims unless notice of a claim pursuant to this Section 3(e)(iii) shall have been given within two (2) years of the Initial Closing.

iv.

Defense of Third Party Claims. If a claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii) arises from any Action made or brought by a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in indemnifiable Losses (a “Third Party Claim”), the

indemnifying party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense (which shall not be recoverable from the Indemnifying Party under this Section 3 unless (1) the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or available to the Indemnifying Party and the assertion of which would be adverse to or in conflict with the interests of the Indemnified Party, or (y) that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after notice of the assertion of any such claim or institution of any such Third Party Claim, or (3) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in each of which cases the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(e)(iv), (1) no Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii) without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless it has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim and as part of the settlement the Indemnified Party is released from all liability with respect to the Third Party Claim and the settlement does not impose any equitable remedy on the Indemnified Party or require the Indemnified Party to admit any fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (2) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii) without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(e)(iv), if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a Third Party Claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest the Third Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement and the costs of such Actions by the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

Limitations on Third Party Claims Liability.

Notwithstanding the indemnifications set forth in Sections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii), the Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability to the BXMT Indemnity Parties and

BXMT shall not have any obligation or liability to the Blackstone Indemnity Parties with respect to any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages.

An Indemnified Party shall first seek full recovery for any indemnifiable claims under this Agreement from the Seller Parties pursuant to and to the extent available under the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s obligation under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of any such recovery from the Seller Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, to the extent collected. If the amount of any Losses suffered by any Indemnified Party is reduced by recovery from the Seller Parties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, an amount equal to the amount of such reduction (not to exceed, in any event, the amount so previously paid in respect thereof by the Indemnifying Party) shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

vi.

The provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to a party with respect to any Third Party Claim.

f. Commercially Reasonable Efforts; HSR Act; Expenses Under Purchase and Sale Agreement. BXMT and Purchaser each agree to comply with the provisions of Section 5.2 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, including with respect to (A) using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, as applicable, all actions, and to promptly do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the purchase and sale of the BXMT Allocated Loans and the Other Allocated Assets as contemplated in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and (B) making any filings pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law as provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. To the extent the Purchase and Sale Agreement allocates any costs or expenses to the “Purchaser Parties,” BXMT and the Purchaser agree that such costs or expenses will be the responsibility (i) of the Purchaser Party for which the benefit of such cost or expense relates (or ratably shared between the applicable Purchaser Parties) and/or (ii) of the Purchaser Party for which such cost or expense is necessary.

4. Confidentiality. BXMT acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the confidentiality and press release provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as if such provisions were set forth herein in their entirety. In addition, neither the Blackstone Parties nor BXMT shall disclose any information with respect to the transaction contemplated under this Agreement nor the existence of this Agreement to any person or entity without the written consent of the other party, other than: (a) their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, advisors; (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process (including any Required Filing) or as necessary for the enforcement of this Agreement; (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating Purchaser or BXMT; and (d) to the Seller Parties. The Blackstone Parties and BXMT agree to seek the other’s prior written consent (not to unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to issuing any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, each of BXMT and the Blackstone Parties shall be permitted to make any Required Filings without the consent of any other party.

5. Remedies.

In the event BXMT defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase the BXMT Allocated Loans (a “BXMT Purchase Default”), BXMT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Blackstone Indemnity Parties from and against any Losses to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from, result from such BXMT Purchase Default. Notwithstanding the indemnifications set forth in this clause 5(a), BXMT shall not have any obligation or liability to the Blackstone Indemnity Parties (A) for any amounts in excess of the amount of the Termination Fee, and the amount of any actual third party costs and expenses paid by the Blackstone Indemnity Parties in connection with pursuing the Transaction or (B) with respect to any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages.

In the event the Blackstone Parties default in the performance of their obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase the Other Allocated Assets (a “Blackstone Purchase Default”) and no BXMT Purchase Default has occurred, (i) BXMT shall not be responsible for payment of any portion of the Termination Fee, (ii) the Blackstone Parties shall reimburse BXMT for the amount of any actual third party costs and expenses paid by the BXMT Indemnity Parties in connection with pursuing the Transaction and (iii) the Blackstone Parties shall not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages.

The provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to a party in the event of a BXMT Purchase Default or Blackstone Purchase Default.

6. Further Assurances. Purchaser and BXMT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute such instruments, documents, approvals and consents as are reasonably necessary or proper in order to complete and ensure the transactions contemplated hereby.

7. Effect of Agreement. This Agreement memorializes the understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof that (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered thereby and is the valid and legally binding obligation thereof in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both violate any provision of law, statute, rule, regulation or executive order to which such party is subject; violate any judgment, order, writ or decree of any court applicable to such party; or result in the breach of or conflict with any term, covenant, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, any material contract or other agreement or instrument, to which such party is or may be bound or affected.

8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective permitted successors, assigns, and legal representatives of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns, any rights or benefits under or by reason of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights, obligations under this Agreement, may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other party.

9. Entire Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter herein, and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and agreements between the parties hereto, whether written or oral.

The parties hereto acknowledge that they have read this Agreement and have executed it without relying upon any statements, representations, or warranties, written, or oral, not expressly set forth herein or incorporated herein by reference.

10. Waiver, Modification and Amendment. No provision herein may be waived unless in writing signed by the party whose rights are thereby waived. Waiver of any one provision herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision herein. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by all of the parties hereto.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

12. Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions or portions thereof of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each of the remaining provisions or portion thereof shall remain, continue to be valid and effective and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto, the Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, and in each case their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all when taken together shall constitute the Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature or in portable document format (PDF).

1.4 Prorations, Calculations and Other Adjustments.

(a) Generally.

(i) All prorations, calculations and other adjustments of the items described in this Section 1.4 shall be made at the applicable Closing based on the applicable Closing Statement prepared in accordance with this Section 1.4. As set forth in Section 1.2(b) and Section 1.2(c), the net amount of credits to the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties for Proration Items, as reflected on the applicable Closing Statement, shall result in an increase or decrease of the Unadjusted Purchase Price.

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth herein, (A) all items to be prorated and other adjustments to be made, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.2(c) and Section 1.4 (the “Proration Items”) and (B) all calculations to be made pursuant to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.2(c) and this Section 1.4 shall be made as of 11:59 p.m. of the day immediately preceding the applicable Closing Date (the “Adjustment Time”) and the net amount thereof either shall be paid by the Purchaser Parties to the Seller Parties or credited to the Purchaser Parties, as the case may be, at the applicable Closing. The Purchaser Parties shall be treated as the owner of the Purchased Interests, Transferred Properties or Purchased Commercial Loans, as applicable, Transferred at the applicable Closing, for amounts relating to periods beginning at and after the Adjustment Time applicable to such Closing. The Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties acknowledge that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, or elsewhere in the other agreements and documents contemplated hereunder, the purpose and intent as to prorations and adjustments is that the Seller Parties (or the applicable Purchased Entities) shall bear all expenses of ownership and operation of the Transferred Properties, the Purchased Interests and the Purchased

-6-

Commercial Loans Transferred at the Closing, and shall receive the benefit of all income therefrom, accruing until the Adjustment Time applicable to such Closing and the Purchaser Parties shall bear all such expenses of ownership and operation of the Transferred Properties, the Purchased Interests and the Purchased Commercial Loans and receive the benefit of all income therefrom accruing after the applicable Adjustment Time.

(iii) The Parties agree that any increase or decrease pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law (including by a determination of a Tax Authority that, under applicable Law, is not subject to further review or appeal).

(iv) With respect to any Purchased Interests:

(A) The purchase price with respect to any Purchased Interest Transferred at a Closing will be determined by first adjusting the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price for each applicable Underlying Property owned by a Joint Venture on the applicable Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(iv)(B) below and then calculating the distributions that would be made to the applicable Seller Party from a Hypothetical Sale. For purposes hereof, a “Hypothetical Sale” means a transaction where (1) the applicable Underlying Property or Underlying Properties owned by a Joint Venture on the applicable Closing Date are sold at their Unadjusted Asset Purchase Prices, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(iv)(B) (without duplication), then (2) all applicable Underlying Property indebtedness, including any secured mortgage and mezzanine indebtedness, is paid at par and without any penalties, yield maintenance, breakage or other fees and charges, then (3) other liabilities which are due on a sale of the Underlying Properties in question are paid, including the payment of disposition fees and incentive or promote fees under any Joint Venture or Subsidiary of a Joint Venture, and then (4) the remaining net proceeds are distributed to the partners or members in accordance with the Venture Agreements. For avoidance of doubt, fees which are incremental contingent fees, such as fees paid only if an Operating Partner is hired as a broker will not be debited in the calculation under this Section 1.4(a)(iv).

(B) For each Closing for which a Purchased Interest is Transferred to a Purchaser Party, the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price for the applicable Underlying Property or Underlying Properties that are the subject of the Transfer will be adjusted as follows:

(1) The Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price will be increased by the amount of all reserves, deposits, loan escrows and other similar items held by or for the benefit of a Joint Venture or a Subsidiary of the Joint Venture and where the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, receives the benefit of the same as part of the transfer (collectively, “JV Reserve Items”);

(2) The Unadjusted Asset Purchase Prices shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.4(a)(iv)(C) and, to the extent not duplicative of Section 1.4(a)(iv)(C), the provisions of Section 1.4(b) below; and

(3) With respect to any Purchased Entity, the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Prices will be decreased by any Mandatory Removal Exceptions to the extent not cured by the Seller Parties prior to the applicable Closing.

(C) The following additional prorations shall be applied (without duplication of the prorations set forth in Section 1.4(b) or the payments or credits made in Section 1.4(a)(iv), and without any adjustment for title matters) to the prorations made under Section 1.4(a)(iv)(B):

(1) Intracompany receivable/payable balances, if any, will be settled prior to Closing and neither Purchaser Parties nor Seller Parties shall be entitled to a credit or adjustment therefor;

-7-

(2) The Parties acknowledge that franchise and similar taxes in the State of Texas (“Texas Franchise Taxes”) are generally payable 12 to 18 months after the attributable tax year. The Seller Parties will bear the burden for Texas Franchise Taxes for periods prior to Closing; and

(3) Current assets and current liabilities will be identified, with (x) “current assets” which shall include only cash and cash equivalents, deposits, tenant security deposits, prepaid expenses, reserves and escrows (including, without limitation, for tax, insurance, debt service, capital improvements or replacements) but specifically excluding goodwill, secured indebtedness, the value of the land, improvements and equipment and unspent capital contributions not otherwise expressly adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; and (y) “current liabilities” which shall include only accounts payable, accrued payroll, accrued expenses (including accrued Texas Franchise Taxes and if the actual accrued Texas Franchise Taxes are not yet determined, then an estimated accrued amount for periods prior to the Closing) and refundable tenant security deposits and obligations to refund therefor.

(D) At the applicable Closing, the Parties will calculate the difference between the amount of the current assets less the amount of the current liabilities (the “Working Capital Figure”). The aggregate Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price attributable to the applicable Equity Entity will be increased by the amount of any positive Working Capital Figure and decreased by any negative Working Capital Figure so calculated.

(b) Proration of Rent with respect to Properties and Underlying Properties.

(i) Base or Fixed Rent. With respect to each Property, base or fixed rent (“Fixed Rent”) paid by any Tenant under the applicable Lease shall be prorated on an “if and when collected basis” as of the applicable Adjustment Time. The Purchaser Parties shall receive a credit at the Closing for any base or fixed rent paid by a Tenant to the applicable Seller Party or Purchased Entity with respect to a Property for the rent period in which such Closing occurs in an amount equal to the rent paid for such rent period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the applicable Closing Date through and including the last day of the rent period in which the applicable Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the applicable Closing occurs.

(ii) Percentage Rent. With respect to each Property for which such rent is payable, payments of additional rent based upon the amount by which a designated percentage of any Tenant’s business, including gross revenues, achieved during the applicable period for which such rent is due under the applicable Lease (the “Percentage Rent Period”) exceeded base or fixed rent, breakpoint or some other standard (the “Percentage Rent”), if any, for any Percentage Rent Period in which the applicable Closing occurs shall be apportioned between the applicable Seller Party and the applicable Purchaser Party on an “if and when collected” basis, as of the Adjustment Time. The Purchaser Parties shall receive a credit at the applicable Closing for any Percentage Rent paid by a Tenant to the applicable Seller Party or Purchased Entity with respect to a Property for the rent period in which such Closing occurs in an amount equal to the rent paid for such rent period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the applicable Closing Date through and including the last day of the rent period in which the applicable Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the applicable Closing occurs.

-8-

(iii) Additional Rent.

(A) With respect to each Property, payments of rent and any other amounts, receipts or reimbursements (other than Fixed Rent and Percentage Rent), including any parking fees, management fees, service fees, operating expense payments, insurance payments and tax payments (the “Additional Rent”), paid by any Tenant under the applicable Lease shall be prorated on an “if and when collected” basis, as of the applicable Adjustment Time. The Purchaser Parties shall receive a credit at the applicable Closing for any Additional Rent paid by a Tenant to the applicable Seller Party or Purchased Entity with respect to a Property for the rent period in which such Closing occurs in an amount equal to the rent paid for such rent period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the applicable Closing Date through and including the last day of the rent period in which the applicable Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the applicable Closing occurs.

(iv) Percentage Rent and Additional Rent Reconciliation.

(A) Notwithstanding Section 1.4(b)(ii) or (iii), any reconciliation with Tenants under Leases for Additional Rent or Percentage Rent with respect to the calendar year in which the applicable Closing for a Property occurs (“Closing Year Additional and Percentage Rent”) shall be pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(iv)(A). Any such reconciliation shall be prepared or caused to be prepared by the Purchaser Parties in the time frames required by the applicable Lease. The Purchaser Parties shall provide to the Seller Parties the calculation of the amount of any Closing Year Additional and Percentage Rent due from or to each Tenant and shall provide to the Seller Parties all reasonably requested documentation in connection therewith. If any amount is due from any Tenant pursuant to such reconciliation, the Purchaser Parties shall invoice, or cause the applicable Equity Entity to invoice, such Tenant for any such Closing Year Additional and Percentage Rent in the invoice to be sent to such Tenant in the ordinary course. The applicable Purchaser Party or Equity Entity shall pay to the Seller Parties the Seller Parties’ share of such amount calculated as of the Adjustment Time. If the amount of any Closing Year Additional and Percentage Rent collected exceeds the amount of Closing Year Additional and Percentage Rent payable by the Tenant under the terms of its Lease, then, the Seller Parties shall promptly pay to the Purchaser Parties the Seller Parties’ share of such excess amounts calculated as of the Adjustment Time.

(B) To the extent that any Tenant conducts an audit respecting rent or any other charges paid by the Tenant for any periods prior to the applicable Closing Date, the applicable Purchaser Party or Equity Entity and the Seller Parties shall cooperate in response to such audit and complying with all requirements under the applicable Leases (and at law or in equity) in connection therewith. If any Tenant becomes entitled to a refund of rent or any other charge with respect to a period prior to the Closing Date, any such refunds due to such Tenant (the “Pre-Closing Refunds”) shall be borne by the Parties as adjusted in accordance with the Adjustment Time.

(v) Delinquent Rent. With respect to each Property, any Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or Percentage Rent (collectively, “Rent”) that shall not have been paid when due under any Lease as of the applicable Closing shall be referred to as “Delinquent Rent.” During the six (6) month period immediately following the applicable Closing Date with respect to the Transfer of the applicable Property, the Purchaser Parties shall cooperate with the Seller Parties after the applicable Closing Date to collect any Delinquent Rent without any obligation to engage a collection agency, ▇▇▇ any tenant or exercise any legal remedies under the applicable Lease or incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. Rent collected after a Closing Date from any tenant who owes delinquent Rent as of that Closing Date shall be applied (A) first, to the month in which the Closing occurs, (B) second, to any Rent

-9-

due to Purchaser Parties for the period after the Closing Date, and (C) finally to Delinquent Rent with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date. Non-Delinquent Rent for the period after the Closing collected by Seller Parties shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser Parties.

(vi) Advance Rent Payments. With respect to each Property, in the event that any Seller Party or Subsidiary or Joint Venture thereof (other than a Purchased Entity) shall have received or receives after closing payments of rent or other charges under any Lease that relates to a period beginning after the Adjustment Time, the applicable Purchaser Party will receive a credit for such amount of rent or other charges (or its appropriate share thereof in the case of a Joint Venture). Purchaser Parties shall be entitled to all Rent from and after the Adjustment Time.

(c) Ground Rent for Properties and Underlying Properties. With respect to each Property, ground rent and all other amounts payable under the Ground Leases (if applicable for such Property) shall be prorated as of the applicable Adjustment Time. The Seller Parties will be credited with an amount equal to all security deposits, prepaid rentals and other deposits paid or deposited under any Ground Lease for such Property or Underlying Property, together with any interest that has actually accrued thereon to the extent Purchaser Parties receive the benefit of said deposits or prepaids upon the assumption of the applicable Ground Lease.

(d) Taxes for Properties and Underlying Properties; Other Expenses.

(i) If and to the extent that a Tenant with respect to any Property is obligated pursuant to a Lease to pay real property Taxes directly to the applicable Taxing Authority, there shall be no proration of such real property Taxes.

If the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties mutually agree upon a reduction of the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price for such Specified Equity Asset, such reduced Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price shall be reflected in a writing executed by Purchaser Representative and Seller Representative. If the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties are unable to reach a mutually agreed upon solution for a Specified Equity Asset within the 14-day period specified above, then, within five (5) Business Days following the conclusion of such fourteen (14)-day negotiation period, the Purchaser Representative (on behalf of the Purchaser Parties) shall have the right to submit to arbitration the appropriate reduction, if any, to the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price by delivery of a written notice to the Seller Parties specifying such election (each a “Equity Arbitration Notice”).

If the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties

-22-

elect the same Equity Arbitrator, such Equity Arbitrator shall be the arbitrator with respect to the applicable arbitration. If the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties do not select the same Equity Arbitrator, the unnamed arbitrator in the definition of Equity Arbitrator shall be the arbitrator with respect to the applicable arbitration. If either the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties fails to timely select an Equity Arbitrator, the arbitrator with respect to such arbitration shall be the Equity Arbitrator selected by the other Party.

The designated Equity Arbitrator shall provide copies of each such submission to the other party. If either the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties fails (such Party being herein referred to as the “Non-Submitting Party”) to submit an Equity FMV Estimate within such ten (10) day period, the Equity FMV Estimate submitted by the other Party shall be deemed correct and conclusive for all purposes with respect to this Agreement, the arbitration shall be deemed concluded and the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price for such Specified Equity Asset shall be deemed to be modified to be the such Equity FMV Estimate. If the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties each submit an Equity FMV Estimate, the designated Equity Arbitrator shall select one of the submitted Equity FMV Estimates as the correct determination of the fair market value and shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of any of the proposed positions. The Equity Arbitrator’s selection shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be conclusive for all purposes with respect to this Agreement and the Unadjusted Equity Purchase Price for such Specified Equity Asset shall be deemed to be modified to be equal to the Equity FMV Estimate so selected.

The representatives of each Purchaser Party executing this Agreement in the name and on behalf of each Purchaser Party, have been granted with the sufficient authority or powers of attorney to enter into this Agreement and bind each Purchaser Party pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, and such authority or powers of attorney have not been limited, modified, amended and/or revoked as of the date hereof.

4.2 Noncontravention; Consents.

(a) Except for any Required Third Party Consents that shall have been obtained at or prior to the applicable Closing, the execution and delivery by each Purchaser Party of this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereunder to be executed and delivered by the Purchaser Parties do not conflict with, and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and compliance by the Purchaser Parties with the provisions hereof and thereof will not conflict with, or result in any material violation of, material default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the Purchaser Parties’ assets under: (i) the Organizational Documents of any Purchaser Party, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, management or other agreement or instrument applicable to any Purchaser Party, or (iii) any Laws applicable to any Purchaser Party.

No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person, other than Eastdil Secured LLC, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Purchaser Parties pursuant to a separate agreement, is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Purchaser Parties.

4.4 Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the Purchaser Parties’ Knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Purchaser Party that, individually or in the aggregate, if decided adversely to such Purchaser Party, would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

-36-

4.5 Funding. The Purchaser Parties have, or will have as of the applicable Closing, (a) sufficient cash on hand to pay the Unadjusted Purchase Price and all related fees and expenses in connection with the Transaction, (b) the resources and capabilities (financial or otherwise) to perform their obligations hereunder, and (c) not incurred any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, which would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Investment Representation.

The Purchaser Parties are not entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Purchased Entities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent,” when used with respect to the Purchased Entities, means that, as of any date of determination (i) the Present Fair Salable Value of their assets will, as of such date, exceed the probable amount of their debts as of such date, (ii) the Purchased Entities will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the business in which they are engaged and (iii) the Purchased Entities will be able to pay their debts as they become absolute and mature, taking into account the timing of any amounts of cash to be received by them and the timing of any amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of their indebtedness, in each case after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Solvency” shall have a correlative meaning.

The Seller Parties shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, such Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods and timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all Taxes shown as due thereon.

-46-

Seller Parties unless (i) otherwise required by applicable law, (ii) to the extent such Seller Parties consent to a change from past practices (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), or (iii) to the extent such consistency results in a materially adverse Tax consequence for the Purchaser Parties. The Purchaser Parties shall provide to the Seller Parties drafts of such Tax Returns for Straddle Tax Periods no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable due date including any applicable extensions (unless the applicable due date is less than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, in which case the Purchaser Parties shall provide to the Seller Parties such draft Tax Returns within a reasonable time prior to filing). The Seller Parties shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt thereof to provide the Purchaser Parties with any comments or proposed adjustments to such draft Tax Returns for the Straddle Tax Periods, and any such comments or proposed adjustments shall be considered by the Purchaser Parties in good faith.

If the Purchaser Parties and Seller Parties cannot resolve any disagreements with respect to the proposed Tax Returns for Straddle Tax Periods within ten (10) days prior to the applicable due date, the Purchaser Parties and Seller Parties jointly shall select an independent tax expert to resolve such differences, with the fees and costs of such tax expert to be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser Parties and fifty percent (50%) by the Seller Parties, and with the decision of such tax expert as to any matters in dispute between the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties to be binding and conclusive on all Parties. The Seller Parties shall pay to the Purchaser Parties no later than three (3) days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Returns for Straddle Tax Periods the amount of Taxes owing with respect to the portion of such Straddle Tax Periods as determined as if such taxable period ended as of the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall be entitled to all Tax refunds of or attributable to the Purchased Entities and any Subsidiaries thereof for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the portion of any Straddle Tax Periods ending on the Closing Date, unless (i) such Tax refund is attributable to the carryback from a taxable period commencing after the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Tax Periods beginning after the Closing Date of items of loss, deduction or credit, or other Tax items, of the Purchased Entities or any Subsidiaries thereof (or any of their respective Affiliates, including the Purchaser Entities) or (ii) otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. The Purchaser Parties shall be responsible for preparing and filing all other Tax Returns of the Purchased Entities and any Subsidiaries thereof and of the Purchaser Parties with respect to the Purchased Entities and any Subsidiaries thereof and their assets and income. Nothing in this Section 5.6(d) shall be interpreted as to require the Seller Parties or Affiliates thereof to provide to the Purchaser Parties or Affiliates thereof any consolidated or group or combined or unitary Tax Returns in which any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary thereof may be a participant for periods prior to the Closing Date.

(e) The Seller Parties shall prepare all real property Tax Returns related to the Properties or Underlying Properties for Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

The Purchaser Parties shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt thereof to provide the Seller Parties with any comments or proposed adjustments to such draft real property Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and any such comments or proposed adjustments shall be considered in good faith by the Seller Parties. The Seller Parties shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, such Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods and timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, all Taxes shown as due thereon. The Purchaser Parties shall prepare and file all real property Tax Returns for the Straddle Tax Periods, provided that the Purchaser Parties shall provide to the Seller Parties drafts of such real property Tax Returns for the Straddle Tax Periods no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable due date including any applicable extensions (unless the applicable due date is less than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, in which case the Purchaser Parties shall provide to the Seller Parties such draft Tax Returns within a reasonable time prior to filing). The Seller Parties shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt thereof to provide the Purchaser Parties with any

-47-

comments or proposed adjustments to such draft real property Tax Returns for the Straddle Tax Periods, and any such comments or proposed adjustments shall be considered in good faith by the Purchaser Parties. The Seller Parties shall pay to the Purchaser Parties no later than three (3) days prior to the due date for filing any such real property Tax Returns for the Straddle Tax Periods the amount of Taxes owing with respect to the portion of such Straddle Tax Periods as determined pursuant to Section 1.4. The Seller Parties shall be entitled to all real property Tax refunds related to the Properties for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the portion of any Straddle Tax Periods ending on the Closing Date, unless (i) such Tax refund is attributable to the carryback from a taxable period commencing after the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Tax Periods beginning after the Closing Date of items of loss, deduction or credit, or other Tax items, of the Purchased Entities or any Subsidiaries thereof (or any of their respective Affiliates, including the Purchaser Entities), or (ii) otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. The Purchaser Parties shall be responsible for preparing and filing all other real property Tax Returns related to the Properties. Nothing in this Section 5.6(e) shall be interpreted as to require the Seller Parties or Affiliates thereof to provide to the Purchaser Parties or Affiliates thereof any consolidated or group or combined or unitary Tax Returns in which any Purchased Entity or any Subsidiary thereof may be a participant for periods prior to the Closing Date.

(f) The Purchaser Parties, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, any Tax audit, Tax claim, Tax litigation, claim for Tax refund or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return filing, Tax audit, Tax claim, Tax litigation or other Tax proceeding, providing powers of attorney, assisting with the signing and filing of Tax appeals and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Purchased Entity and its Subsidiaries relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority for all periods required by such Tax Authority.

(g) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall identify for the Purchaser Parties each Equity Entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that does not have in effect on the Closing Date a valid election under Section 754 of the Code.

(h) The Seller Parties shall cause all tax allocation agreements or tax sharing agreements between the Seller Parties or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Equity Entity, on the other hand, to be terminated as of the Closing Date, and shall ensure that such agreements are of no further force or effect as to any Equity Entity on and after the Closing Date and that there shall be no further liabilities or obligations imposed on any Equity Entity under any such agreements. Although the profit and loss pooling agreement between GE Real Estate Property GmbH (GSP) and GE Real Estate GmbH (GSN), identified in Schedule 3.9(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, would be terminated at or prior to the closing of a sale of GE Real Estate Property GmbH (GSP) to Purchaser Parties, the settlement of the profit and loss pooling required thereunder would occur as set forth in Schedule 5.6(h) to this Agreement.

5.7 Real Property Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that certain of the Seller Parties have appealed certain real property Taxes attributable to the Transferred Properties. Such Seller Parties shall be responsible for, and shall receive the benefit of (less any portion thereof to which a Tenant may be entitled), any additional real property Taxes and any Tax rebates or refunds attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and such appeals; provided that such Seller Parties shall not be responsible for (or receive the benefit of) any such Taxes (or rebates or refunds) to the extent the Unadjusted Purchase Price was adjusted downward (or upward) pursuant to Article I determined after taking into consideration all adjustments provided for therein, on account of such Taxes (or rebates or refunds). If such Seller Parties are entitled to the benefit of any rebate or refund pursuant to the preceding sentence, then within ten (10) days of receipt by or on

-48-

behalf of any Purchaser Party or Affiliate thereof of any such rebate or refund, the Purchaser Parties shall pay to the Seller Parties an amount equal to the portion of such rebate or refund to which the Seller Parties are so entitled (less any portion thereof to which a Tenant may be entitled) and net of any Tax cost imposed on any Purchaser Party as a result of receiving such refund or rebate. A Seller Party, at its expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control and continue (but not settle or compromise, except as expressly provided below) any such appeal or related proceedings which are pending as of the date of this Agreement, including the employment of counsel, and shall promptly provide to the applicable Purchaser Parties all material information relating to such appeals or proceedings as and when such information becomes known to a Seller Party, together with such other information as the applicable Purchaser Parties may reasonably request; provided, however, if a Seller Party elects not to control any such appeal or related proceeding, then such Seller Party shall give prompt written notice to the applicable Purchaser Parties of such election, and, thereafter, the applicable Purchaser Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control such appeal or related proceeding and the settlement or compromise thereof. A Seller Party may not settle or compromise any such appeal or related proceeding without prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Any request by any Party to make such election shall be given good faith consideration by the other Party.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the Seller Parties shall be under no obligation to provide the Purchaser Parties or the Purchased Entities any U.S. federal, state or local income Tax Returns of any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party other than the Equity Entities, and (ii) the Purchaser Parties shall be under no obligation to provide the Seller Parties any U.S. federal, state or local Tax Returns of any Purchaser Party or any Affiliate of any Purchaser Party other than the Equity Entities.

5.12 Mutual Release of the Other Parties.

-59-

(ii) The Purchaser Parties shall notify the Seller Parties on the applicable Closing Notice Date of whether the Purchaser Parties have received FIRREA Appraisals for the Purchased Commercial Loans that have not yet been the subject of a Closing. In the event the Purchaser Parties have not received the FIRREA Appraisal for any Purchased Commercial Loans on or prior to the Closing Notice Date, but such FIREEA Appraisal is received prior to the Closing Date to which the Closing Notice Date relates, the Purchaser Parties (following receipt of prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which may be withheld in the Seller Representative’s sole and absolute discretion) shall have the option, but will not be required, to close the Transfer of the applicable Purchased Commercial Loans on such Closing Date. If the Purchaser Parties do not elect to close the Transfer on such Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including Section 7.1(a)(ii), the Closing with respect to such Purchased Commercial Loan shall be deferred until the next Closing Date.

-60-

(ii) If the Parties have not agreed to an alternate strategy prior to the end of the Buy-Sell Discussion Period and the Venture Agreement permits the exercise of a “buy-sell” right by the applicable Seller Party in such circumstances, then the Seller Parties shall be entitled to exercise the “buy-sell” rights under the applicable Venture Agreement for the Operating Partner’s equity interests in the Joint Venture (the “Venture Buy-Sell”) at the BS/S Value.

(iii) In the event the Buy-Sell is exercised and the Seller Parties acquire the Underlying Property or 100% of the interests in the applicable Joint Venture, such Underlying Property shall be deemed to be a “Transferred Property” and there shall be no Transfer of the related Purchased Interest at the applicable Closing Date. In the event the Buy-Sell is exercised and the Operating Partner elects to acquire the Purchased Interests or interests in any Subsidiary of the Joint Venture, the Purchased Interests and Purchased Vehicle shall be removed from Schedule 1 and the Purchaser Parties shall be entitled to receive 100% of the proceeds of such sale received by Seller Parties from a sale to the Operating Partner or a third party of Seller Parties’ interests or Underlying Property and resulting from the Buy/Sell Sale Price being used in lieu of the BS/S Value.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that certain third parties have ROFRs, and certain Governmental Entities have Pre-Emptive Rights. Additionally, the Parties acknowledge that the Seller Parties and GE Partner have certain Exit Rights with respect to certain Joint Ventures which may be triggered by third parties prior to the applicable Closing Date for the certain Equity Assets. In the event a third party is entitled to and does exercises an Exit Right, the Seller Parties shall promptly provide the Purchaser Parties with a copy of such notice and any related documentation provided by the applicable third party.

In the event the Purchaser Parties elect to have the Seller Parties acquire the applicable equity interests or Properties, Schedule 1 reflecting the Purchased Interests and Properties shall be adjusted to reflect such acquired interests at the price to be paid by the Seller Parties for such interests, the Underlying Property shall become a Transferred Property and there shall be no Transfer of the Purchased Interests at the applicable Closing. In the event the Purchaser Parties elect to have the Seller Parties sell or authorize the sale of such equity interests or Properties, then (i) the applicable Purchased Interests or Transferred Properties shall be removed from Schedule 1, (ii) the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the applicable Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price Amount, and (iii) the Purchaser Parties shall be entitled to receive 100% of the proceeds of such sale received by Seller in excess of the purchase price for such Purchased

-61-

Interests or Properties (or any indirect interest of the applicable Seller Party in the Equity Entity that is subject to the Exit Right) in excess of the Unadjusted Asset Purchase Price Amount for such Purchased Interest, with such proceeds credited to the applicable Purchaser Party at the next succeeding Closing (provided that the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to elect to have the Seller Parties sell any such equity interests or Properties if the price offered by such third party upon exercise of the Exit Rights is less than the purchase price that would be payable by a Purchaser Party with respect to such Purchased Interests or Properties under this Agreement (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 of this Agreement and the applicable adjustments under Section 1.4 hereof)), and (iii) at any time following such election by the Purchaser Parties to have the Seller Parties sell or authorize the sale of such equity interests or Properties, in no event shall any such Purchased Interests or Properties with respect to which such election has been exercised constitute Specified Equity Assets or be deemed to have Material Title Exceptions hereunder (and the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to deliver an Objection Notice or Exclusion Notice with respect to such Purchased Interests or Properties).

9.5 Deferred Closing. In the event that any Equity Assets and/or Purchased Commercial Loans are deemed Deferred Assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 7.1 hereof, as of the Applicable Initial Closing Date, then the applicable closing (each, a “Deferred Closing”) of the purchase (each, a “Deferred Transaction”) of each of the Deferred Assets, shall be postponed until a date following the Applicable Initial Closing Date that is the later of (a) the date that is the last Thursday of the applicable calendar month (or in the case of a Deferred Closing occurring in November 2015, the last Tuesday of such calendar month) in which the Purchaser Parties are notified in writing by the Seller Parties that the Deferral Consent Condition with respect to the applicable Deferred Asset has been satisfied or waived, and (b) the date mutually agreed upon by the Parties with respect to the applicable Deferred Closing (each such date on which a Deferred Closing actually occurs, the “Deferred Closing Date”), at the New York City office of ▇▇▇▇▇ Lovells US LLP, unless another time, date or place is mutually agreed by the Seller Parties and the Purchaser Parties.

10.3 Defaults and Remedies.

(e) by the Purchaser Representative (on behalf of the Purchaser Parties), if, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the applicable Deferred Closing), a breach of any representation or a failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Seller Parties set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 9.2, 9.4(a), 9.4(b), 9.4(d) or 9.4(e) to be unable to be satisfied by the applicable Deferred Closing Date and (i) such breach or failure to perform is not reasonably capable of being cured, or (ii) such breach or failure to perform is reasonably capable of being cured, but shall not have been cured within twenty (20) days after the Purchaser Parties’ written notice to Seller; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.4(e) shall not be available if the Purchaser Parties shall have breached in any material respect their respective obligations under this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.2, 9.3(a), 9.3(b), or 9.3(d) not to be satisfied.

-70-

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Deferred Asset pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.4, the Parties acknowledge and agree that at the time of any termination pursuant to this Section 10.4, then this Agreement shall only be terminated with respect to the remaining Deferred Assets that have not yet been Transferred to the Purchaser Parties as of the applicable date of termination.

10.5 Termination Fee.

(a) The payment of the Termination Fee due in accordance with Section 10.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller Parties. In the event the Purchaser Parties fail to pay the Termination Fee when due in accordance with Section 10.3, if the Seller Parties commence an action to enforce its rights under Section 10.3 and prevail in such action, then the Purchaser Parties shall pay on demand all reasonable and documented third-party costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) actually incurred by the Seller Parties in respect of such action (collectively, “Enforcement Costs”) and interest at a rate equal to five and one-quarter percent (5.25%) per annum on the amount of the unpaid Termination Fee from the date that such Termination Fee was due through the actual date of payment in full of the Termination Fee to the Seller Parties (the “Termination Fee Interest”). The Parties recognize that it would be extremely difficult to ascertain the extent of actual damages caused by the Purchaser Parties’ breach or default, and that receipt of the payment of such liquidated damages amount by the Seller Parties represents a fair an approximation of such actual damages as the Parties can now determine.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser Parties in respect of any losses, damages, costs or expenses of the Seller Parties relating to the failure of a Closing to occur as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser Parties shall be limited to an amount equal to (i) the amount of the Termination Fee, plus (ii) all Enforcement Costs plus (iii) all Termination Fee Interest (collectively, the “Liability Limitation”), and in no event shall the Seller Parties or any of its Affiliates seek any amount in excess of the Liability Limitation in connection with any such breach in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise. Recourse against the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Parties and their Affiliates against the Guarantor and any of the other Affiliates of the Purchaser Parties in connection with any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article X or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

(b) the inaccuracy of any of the Fundamental Representations (i) as of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) (x) with respect to any Fundamental Representations relating to the Transfer of any Purchased Commercial Loans, as of the applicable Closing Date, (y) with respect to any Fundamental Representations relating to the Equity Assets, as of the applicable Closing Date (except to the extent that the failure of any such representations and warranties to be true and correct results from any actions, inactions, circumstances or events outside the control of the Seller Parties), and (z) with respect to any representations and warranties relating to the Equity Assets, as of the applicable Closing Date;

(c) the failure by the Seller Parties to perform any material covenant or material agreement made by the Seller Parties in this Agreement;

(d) any Pre-Closing Refunds;

(e) any Pre-Closing Taxes; and

From and after, and subject to the occurrence of, an Applicable Initial Closing, the Purchaser Parties, jointly and severally, shall, subject to the provisions of this Article XI, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that are suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to any of the following matters:

-72-

11.5 Notice and Resolution of Claims.

(a) Notice. Each Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the indemnifying party or parties from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after obtaining knowledge of any claim that it may have under Section 11.2 or 11.3, as applicable. The notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for indemnification. Failure to give notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under Section 11.2 or 11.3, as applicable, except to the extent that the failure prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to contest that claim.

(b) Defense of Third Party Claims. If a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3 shall arise from any Action made or brought by a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in indemnifiable Losses (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense (which shall not be recoverable from the Indemnifying Party under this Article XI unless (i) the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or available to the Indemnifying Party the assertion of which would be adverse to or in conflict with the interests of the Indemnified Party, or (y) that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after notice of the assertion of any such claim or institution of any such Third Party Claim, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in each of which cases the reasonable expenses of counsel to the

-73-

Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.5(b), (A) no Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Section 11.2 or 11.3 without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless it has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim and as a part of the settlement the Indemnified Party is released from all liability with respect to the Third Party Claim and the settlement does not impose any equitable remedy on the Indemnified Party or any Property, as applicable, or require the Indemnified Party to admit any fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (B) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Section 11.2 or 11.3 without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.5(b), if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a Third Party Claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest the Third Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement and the costs of such Actions by the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) The provisions of this Section 11.5(d) shall apply, to the extent applicable, to any Claim relating to or arising from Seller Parties’ obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 11.2(a) as to any breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12, including any associated investigative, remedial or corrective action or monitoring (“Environmental Response”) (collectively, “Environmental Claims”).

(i) The Seller Parties shall have the right, which right must be exercised within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of notice of any Environmental Claim of indemnity hereunder or deemed waived, but not the obligation, to assume the defense or control of or settle any Environmental Claim, or undertake any Environmental Response, with counsel, consultants or contractors selected by any Seller Party (to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Parties), provided that the Seller Parties shall, to the extent relevant to the Properties or the Equity Entities, (A) keep the Purchaser Parties reasonably informed as to the status of the foregoing, (B) promptly provide the Purchaser Parties with any material information, documentation and correspondence relating to the Environmental Claim or Environmental Response, and (C) consult with the Purchaser Parties prior to exchanges of material documentation, material information or material negotiations with any Person (the Purchaser Parties to make themselves and their Representatives reasonably available and without delay as to same). The provisions of Section 11.5(d)(ii) shall apply to the defense, control or settlement by any Seller of an Environmental Claim.

(ii) To the extent that any Seller Party has timely chosen, at its discretion, to undertake any Environmental Response, the Purchaser Parties shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide any Seller Party and its Representatives with reasonable access to such asset or property (subject to the rights of tenants) to permit any Seller Party or its Representatives to undertake such Environmental Response at reasonable times, on reasonable advance written notice and without unreasonable interference with the Purchaser Parties’ business operations. The Purchaser Parties agree that they will not, to the extent practicable, unreasonably interfere with or disturb any Seller Party’s performance of such Environmental Response and, as is reasonably necessary, shall provide access to site utilities.

(iii) To the extent that costs or liabilities relating to an environmental condition which is the subject of an Environmental Claim for which the Purchaser Parties seek indemnification from any Seller Party are exacerbated or increased after the Applicable Initial Closing Date due to an act or omission

-74-

of the Purchaser Parties, their respective Affiliates, their respective contractors and subcontractors or third parties acting on their own or under the supervision or direction of the Purchaser Parties or any Governmental Entity, the Seller Parties shall not be responsible to the extent of any such increase in costs.

(iv) The Seller Parties shall have no obligation for any Environmental Claim to the extent that the Loss for which the Purchaser Parties are seeking indemnification relates to, arises out of or results from (A) the closure, transfer, sale or termination of a Lease after the Closing Date, (B) any change in the use of all or part of any of the Properties after the Closing Date, or (C) any investigation, cleanup, remedial or similar activity other than as required to comply with the minimum applicable standards acceptable to the relevant Governmental Entity under applicable Environmental Law not in effect and enforceable as of the Closing Date.

(v) The Seller Parties’ indemnification obligation for any Environmental Claim shall be extinguished and of no further force or effect to the extent that any Purchaser Indemnified Party conducts or grants any third party permission to conduct any environmental sampling or testing of soil, subsurface strata, surface water, groundwater, sediments or ambient air at, on, under or within any portion of the Properties unless (A) in response to an immediate, imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment as required under applicable Environmental Law, (B) in connection with the proposed closure of all or a portion of any Property were required by a Governmental Entity or Third Party Claim under Environmental Law or (C) if Seller Parties elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to assume the defense or control of or settle any Environmental Claim pursuant to Section 11.5(d)(i).

(e) The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article IX.

11.6 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Exclusion of Certain De Minimis Matters. No Indemnifying Party shall have any obligation or liability to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.2(a), or Section 11.3(a) with respect to any single event or condition, or series of related events, conditions or items arising out of substantially the same facts, with respect to which the Losses incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party (i) with respect to any Purchased Commercial Loan, shall not have exceeded Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($25,000) (any such event or condition or series of related events, conditions or items being hereinafter referred to as a “De Minimis Debt Matter”), and (ii) with respect to any Transferred Properties or Purchased Interests, shall not have exceeded One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($100,000) (any such event or condition or series of related events, conditions or items being hereinafter referred to as a “De Minimis Equity Matter”).

(d) Limit on Time for Assertion of Claims.

(i) None of the Seller Parties or the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.3(a), respectively, for any breach of any representation or warranty unless notice of a claim asserting such breach shall have been given in accordance with Section 11.5 prior to the termination of the survival period applicable to such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 11.1.

(ii) None of the Seller Parties or the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability pursuant to Section 11.2(c) or Section 11.3(c), respectively, for any breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement that occurred prior to the applicable Closing unless notice of a claim asserting such breach shall have been given in accordance with Section 11.5 on or before the date that is six (6) months following the applicable Closing Date.

(iv) It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable period for an item as contemplated by this Section 11.6(d) is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 11.6(d) for the assertion of claims, under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

-76-

(e) Other Limitations.

(i) None of the Seller Parties or the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable, with respect to any Losses that are (A) caused by the actions of any Indemnified Party, (B) exacerbated by any Indemnified Party to the extent of the exacerbation, or (C) recovered by any Indemnified Party from any third party (including insurers). The Indemnified Party shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Losses to the same extent as it would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If the amount of any Losses suffered by any Indemnified Party is reduced, at any time subsequent to any payment in respect thereof by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable, by recovery from any other third party (including any insurer), an amount equal to the amount of such reduction (not to exceed, in any event, the amount so previously paid in respect thereof by the Indemnifying Party) shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) In connection with any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a), an indemnifiable Loss will arise only to the extent that the Loss is caused by the facts which constitute a breach of such representation and warranty and not by a deterioration (i) in the creditworthiness of an Obligor in respect of a Purchased Commercial Loan, or (ii) the value of the underlying real estate collateral based on general economic or market conditions in respect of such Purchased Commercial Loan.

(v) In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article XI, an Indemnified Party shall take and cause its Affiliates to take, or cooperate with an Indemnifying Party if so requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to take, all commercially reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article XI shall be paid without duplication and in no event

-77-

shall any Party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Losses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser Parties (A) shall make no claim for, and shall not be entitled to any indemnification under this Article XI in respect of, any matter that is taken into account in the calculation of the Estimated Initial Purchase Price or Estimated Deferred Purchase Price, as applicable, pursuant to Section 1.2 and (B) shall be limited to a single price adjustment without duplication to the extent any price adjustment arises from or out of any facts, circumstances, conditions or events that overlap.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth herein (or otherwise relating to the Purchased Entities or the subject matter of this Agreement) it may have against the other Parties hereto and its Affiliates following the applicable Closing arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.7 shall not operate to limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief). Nothing contained in this Section 11.7 or otherwise in this Agreement shall affect or limit the rights of the Seller Parties under the Guarantee.

Any period of time hereunder ending on a day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next Business Day.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature or in portable document format (PDF).

12.7 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and the documents and instruments delivered and to be delivered hereunder, including the Guarantee, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect in all respects, except to the extent modified by the provisions of Section 5.4. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties hereto, the Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, and in each case their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Purchased Entities shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Seller Parties under this Agreement or agreements contemplated hereby or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions.

12.10 Enforcement.

(a) Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Parties and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States of America located in the State of New York or in any New York state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Seller Parties further agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the Parties hereby waives any requirement under any law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
