After the Closing Date, Sellers, Sellers’ Affiliates and Sellers’ employees shall not, and shall cause any third party broker which is representing any Seller to not, commence or continue negotiations for any lease arrangements without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Buyer. For the purpose of this Section 3.3(g)(ii), the term “Actively Negotiating” shall mean

(i) review and approve annual budgets, development plans, if any, and leasing plans with respect to the Properties and to offer input and suggestions relating to the foregoing; provided that such rights will not require the Sellers to operate the Properties in a substantially different manner than the current operations of the Properties nor obligate the Sellers to make or incur any capital expenditures at the Properties;

(ii) generally discuss and consult (including calling meetings) with, and provide advice with respect to, material matters relating to the Properties with representatives of the Sellers designated by Sellers and the right to submit business proposals or suggestions to such parties;

Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the executed Tenant Estoppels in substantially the same form as Exhibit A attached hereto from each Tenant at such Seller’s Property prior to the Closing, without the obligation to make any payments or grant any concessions under the Leases. If a Tenant returns an executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease as defined below) to such Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to the Buyer, or make available on Seller’s transaction website, a copy of such executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable) following such Seller’s receipt of such Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable).

For purposes of this Section 3.4(b) only, the terms “Tenants” and “Leases” shall refer to the Tenants and the Leases in respect of the Properties to be purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement and the “Tenants” and “Leases” (as each such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) in respect of the “Properties” (as such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) to be purchased and sold pursuant to each Other PSA, collectively. No Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel shall be dated earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Initial Closing Date and no such estoppel shall allege any material defaults by the Sellers (except to the extent any such default has been disclosed in writing by the Sellers to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement) or accrued and outstanding offsets or defenses under the relevant Lease or contain any materially adverse deviations between (A) the information specified in said Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, and (B) (x) the

representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement or (y) the Leases to which such Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, relate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, Sellers shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Statement of Lease from the GSA with respect to each Lease to which the GSA is a party. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Sellers to obtain (i) any novation of the applicable Lease with the GSA that may be required by the GSA in order to assign the applicable Lease to the Buyer or its applicable Designated Subsidiary and (ii) any Statement of Lease. In the event the GSA requires any Seller to remain liable under the applicable Lease with the GSA after the Closing Date, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each such Seller against any Losses (as defined below) arising out of such Lease after the Closing Date except to the extent such Losses are the result of any action taken by any such Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such Leases with the GSA.

(c) In the event that the Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Initial Closing, if the Sellers fail to deliver the Tenant Estoppels (or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable) as required above by the Initial Closing Date and the Buyer has not otherwise waived such requirement in order to accommodate Serial Closings pursuant to the Master PSA, each of the Buyer and the Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to adjourn the Closing on one or more occasions by providing written notice thereof to the other for a period of up to forty- five (45) days in order for the Sellers to continue efforts to obtain such Tenant Estoppels (or Lease Required Estoppels, as applicable), in which case, the Closing shall occur within five (5) Business Days after the Sellers’ delivery of all required Tenant Estoppels (or Lease Required Estoppels, as applicable).

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the proviso in Section 3.4(b), in the event that the Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Initial Closing, if, as of the Initial Closing Date, Sellers are able to obtain Tenant Estoppels (or Lease Required Estoppels, as applicable) from Tenants whose Leases comprise at least sixty percent (60%) of remaining base rental income over the lease term as of the date of this Agreement as determined in accordance with the schedule delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer prior to the date hereof, but is unable to obtain Tenant Estoppels (or Lease Required Estoppels, as applicable) from Tenants whose Leases comprise at least seventy-five percent (75%) of remaining base rental income over the lease term as of the date of this Agreement as determined in accordance with the schedule delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer prior to the date hereof, Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver to the Buyer on the Initial Closing Date a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Sellers’ Estoppel Certificate”), executed by Sellers, with respect to the required amount of Leases in order to satisfy the Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppels, as applicable) delivery requirements set forth in Section 3.4(b)(i) and (ii), and in such event, Sellers shall be deemed to have satisfied the condition under Sections 3.4(b)(i) and (ii). In addition, Sellers shall be released from any liability with respect to such Sellers’ Estoppel Certificate upon the earlier of (A) the date of delivery to the Buyer of a Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppels, as applicable) executed by the Tenant for which Sellers have delivered such Sellers’ Estoppel Certificate or (B) the date that is one (1) year after the Initial Closing Date.

6.3 Assignment of Certain Transferred Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, sell, convey, sublicense or transfer any Transferred Asset, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, or to enter into any other agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, if an attempted assignment, sale, conveyance, sublicense or transfer thereof, or entering into any such agreement or arrangement, without the consent of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), would constitute a breach of, or other contravention under, any Transferred Asset or a violation of Applicable Law, be ineffective with respect to any party thereto or in any way adversely affect the rights of any Seller or any Affiliate of the Sellers or of the Buyer thereunder. With respect to any such Transferred Asset (or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom), from and after the date hereof, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts (and the Buyer shall assist the Sellers upon reasonable request, at the Sellers’ cost) to obtain any and all required consents for the assignment, partial assignment, transfer or sublicense of such Transferred Asset to the Buyer, or written confirmation from such parties reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Sellers and the Buyer confirming that such consent is not required. Neither Sellers nor the Buyer shall be required to make any payment of money or other transfer of value to any third party. If a required consent is not obtained prior to the Closing with respect to any such Transferred Asset, the Sellers (assisted by the Buyer upon reasonable request) will (and will cause their applicable Affiliates to) continue (for a period not to exceed six (6) months) to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent as promptly as practicable after the Closing. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, until such time as all such consents have been obtained, the Sellers

and the Buyer will (and will cause their applicable Affiliates to) cooperate to enter into a lawful and reasonable arrangement under which the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Buyer, at no cost to the Sellers or the Buyer, with the economic benefits of such Transferred Asset by enforcing such Transferred Asset (solely at the Buyer’s direction) for the benefit and at the expense of the Buyer (and the Buyer shall assume the obligations of the applicable Seller under, and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Transferred Asset that are attributable to any period from and after the Effective Time and indemnify the Sellers in connection therewith). The Sellers shall have no obligations under this Section 6.3 after the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date.

Article VII

INSPECTION

7.1 General Right of Inspection. Subject to the Leases, Ground Leases, any restrictions of record and Applicable Laws, the Buyer and its agents shall have the right, prior to the Closing, at reasonable times agreed upon by the Sellers and Buyer after reasonable prior notice to the Sellers (which such reasonable notice shall include verbal notice given by the Buyer to the Sellers not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to such inspection), to inspect each Property during business hours on Business Days (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include sampling, testing or any other intrusive indoor or outdoor investigation of air, surface water, groundwater or soil) and to further examine all applicable records and documents relating to the Property; and to further confirm certain title matters; provided that the Buyer shall not be entitled to perform physical building inspections in respect of the Properties. The Seller has made available to Buyer physical inspection reports and environmental Phase I reports for each Property. The applicable Seller agrees to make available those employees listed on Schedule 7.1 attached hereto to assist the Buyer with such inspections and the Buyer shall have the right to contact and interview such employees, or any other employees the applicable Seller permits the Buyer to contact, with respect to the Properties (collectively, the “Designated Employees”). The Buyer shall give the applicable Seller or its Designated Employees the right to accompany the Buyer or its agents during any such inspections; provided, however, that the Buyer shall be permitted, with the applicable Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to undertake inspections of a Property during business hours on Business Days if the applicable Seller is unable to be present for such inspections or tests. Such inspection shall not unreasonably impede the normal day-to-day business operation of such Property, and the Buyer shall maintain confidentiality to the extent set forth in this Agreement. The Buyer hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold the Sellers and Sellers’ Related Entities harmless from all loss, cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claim or damage arising out of (i) the entry on the Property by or any action of, any person or firm entering the Property on the Buyer’s behalf as aforesaid, (ii) any breach by the Buyer of its obligations under this Section 7.1 attached hereto, or (iii) any Liens caused by or on behalf of Buyer, which indemnity shall survive all Closings hereunder. The Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a certificate of insurance evidencing comprehensive general liability coverage (including coverage for contractual indemnities) with a combined single limit of at least $2,000,000 in a form reasonably acceptable to the Sellers, covering any activity, accident or damage arising in connection with the Buyer or agents of the

Buyer on the Property, and naming the Sellers, as an additional insured. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive all Closings hereunder.


7.2	Document Inspection; Contracts.

(a) Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer is being given an opportunity to review and inspect the documents provided or made available by Sellers or obtained by the Buyer. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, or except as set forth in any Exhibit or Schedule attached hereto, Sellers make no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of such documents or any other studies, documents, reports or other information provided to the Buyer by the Sellers.

(b) Subject to Section 14.31(a), on or prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer shall notify Sellers as to which Contracts the Buyer will assume (such Contracts, together with new Contracts entered into pursuant to Section 3.3(c) with the Buyer’s prior written consent, the “Assumed Contracts”), and the list of such Assumed Contracts shall be added to Schedule C attached hereto on or prior to the Closing Date. All Contracts other than Assumed Contracts shall constitute “Terminated Contracts” and shall be the liability solely of the Seller. The Assumed Contracts shall be assigned to the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the Assignment of Contracts.

7.3 Confidentiality. The Buyer and its representatives shall hold in confidence all data and information relating to the Transferred Assets, the Sellers or their businesses, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, which is incorporated herein and which the Buyer hereby reaffirms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Buyer or its representatives of this Section 7.3, the Seller shall be entitled to all remedies set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

7.4 Examination. In entering into this Agreement, the Buyer has not been induced by and has not relied upon any written or oral representations, warranties or statements, whether express or implied, made by any Seller, any partner of any Seller, or any affiliate, agent, employee, or other representative of any of the foregoing or by any broker or any other person representing or purporting to represent any Seller, with respect to the Transferred Assets or any other matter affecting or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, other than those representations, warranties or statements expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Closing Documents. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Closing Documents, no Seller makes any representations or warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied or arising by operation of law, with respect to the Transferred Assets, including any warranties or representations as to habitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, zoning, Tax consequences, latent or patent physical or environmental condition, utilities, operating history or projections, valuation, governmental approvals, the compliance with governmental laws, the truth, accuracy or completeness of documents or any other information provided by or on behalf of Sellers to the

Buyer, or any other matter or thing regarding the Transferred Assets. The Buyer represents to Sellers that the Buyer has conducted such investigations of the Transferred Assets, including but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions of the Properties, as the Buyer deems necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Transferred Assets and the existence or nonexistence or curative action to be taken with respect to any hazardous or toxic substances on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely upon the same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Sellers or their agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers as are expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Closing Documents. Subject to the express representations of Sellers herein and in the Closing Documents and the provisions set forth herein and contained in the Closing Documents, upon the Closing, the Buyer shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, construction defects and adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by the Buyer’s investigations, and the Buyer, upon Closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Sellers and Sellers’ Related Entities from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action (including causes of action in tort), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, which the Buyer or any agent, representative, affiliate, employee, director, officer, partner, member, servant, shareholder or other person or entity acting on the Buyer’s behalf or otherwise related to or affiliated with the Buyer might have asserted or alleged against Sellers and/or Sellers’ Related Entities at any time by reason of or arising out of any latent or patent construction defects, physical conditions (including environmental conditions), the Leases and the Tenants, violations of any Applicable Laws (including any Environmental Laws) or any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters regarding the Transferred Assets (including the Transferred Assets).

Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Closing Documents, the Buyer shall not look to Sellers or any of Sellers’ Related Entities in connection with the foregoing for any redress or relief. The foregoing release shall be given full force and effect according to each of its expressed terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected claims, damages and causes of action. THE BUYER AGREES THAT THE TRANSFERRED ASSETS WILL BE SOLD AND CONVEYED TO (AND ACCEPTED BY) THE BUYER AT THE CLOSING IN THE THEN EXISTING CONDITION OF THE TRANSFERRED ASSETS, AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT ANY WRITTEN OR VERBAL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY), WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR

ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, other than representations, warranties and statements of the Sellers expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Closing Documents.

7.5 Effect and Survival of Disclaimer and Release. The Sellers and the Buyer acknowledge that the compensation to be paid to Sellers for the Transferred Assets reflects that the Transferred Assets are being sold subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, and Sellers and the Buyer agree that the provisions of Section 7.4 shall survive all Closings hereunder indefinitely.

Article VIII

TITLE AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS

8.1 Permitted Exceptions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, the Sellers shall sell and convey title to each Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions with respect to such Property.


8.2	Title Report.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, the Buyer has delivered to Sellers a notice with respect to the Properties specifying all title exceptions set forth in the applicable title commitment, matters disclosed in the survey or objections to building code or zoning violations set forth in any zoning report or otherwise that constitute (i) Material Title Exceptions, (ii) Voluntary Title Exceptions, or (iii) Monetary Title Exceptions.

(b) With respect to a Property, to the extent of any updates to the applicable title commitment, survey or zoning report that are made following the date of this Agreement, the Buyer shall give notice to Seller specifying all title exceptions set forth in such updated title commitment, matters disclosed in the updated survey or objections to building code or zoning violations set forth in any updated zoning report or otherwise (i) which the Buyer claims are not Permitted Exceptions and (i) to which the Buyer objects, not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (each such notice provided pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or this Section 8.2(b), an “Objection Notice”).

8.3 Use of Cash Consideration Amount to Discharge Title Exceptions. If, at the Closing, there are any title exceptions applicable to a Property which are not Permitted Exceptions and to which the Buyer objects for such Property and which the Sellers are obligated by this Agreement or elect to pay and discharge, then the Sellers may use any portion of the Cash Consideration Amount to satisfy the same; provided that the Sellers shall have delivered to the Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to satisfy such title exceptions of record, together with the cost of any applicable recording or filing fees or such other evidence the Title Company shall deem necessary for the Title Company to remove such exception from the Title Policy. The Buyer, if request is made within a reasonable time prior to the Closing, agrees to provide at the Closing separate certified or cashier’s checks as requested to facilitate the satisfaction of any such title exceptions. The existence of any such liens or encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if the Sellers shall comply with the foregoing requirements.

8.4 Inability to Convey. Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.6, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the Sellers to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall the Buyer have any right of action against the Sellers, at law or in equity, for the Sellers’ inability to convey title to the Properties subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

8.5 Rights in Respect of Inability to Convey. In the event that the Buyer delivers an Objection Notice to the Sellers as set forth in Section 8.2 and such title exception constitutes a

Material Title Exception, the Sellers shall have the right, at the Sellers’ sole election, to either

(a) take such action as the Sellers shall deem advisable to discharge each such Material Title Exception specified in the Objection Notice (each such exception, a “Title Objection”) or

(b) decline to take such action to discharge each Title Objection. The Sellers shall, within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of any Objection Notice, deliver a response to the Buyer

specifying all Title Objections which the Sellers shall attempt to cure or discharge or elect not to cure or discharge. If the Sellers shall fail to respond to any Objection Notice within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such Objection Notice, then the Sellers shall be deemed to have declined to take any action to discharge such Title Objections. The Buyer shall have the right at any time to waive any objections that it may have made. In the event (a) the Sellers shall decline to take action (or shall be deemed to have declined to take action) to discharge such Title Objection or (b) the Sellers fail to discharge each Title Objection prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the right, at its sole election, by written notice to the Sellers at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, either to (i) waive its objections hereunder and proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement, without any reduction in the Gross Asset Value or (ii) exclude the applicable Property or Properties so impacted by a Title Objection from this transaction. If Buyer fails to so give the Sellers notice of its election within the timeframe required therefor, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in subpart (i) above. To the extent one or more Properties are excluded from this transaction pursuant to this Section 8.5, such affected Property and the Asset-Related Property related thereto shall constitute “Excluded Assets” for purposes of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall be subject to the Sellers’ and the Buyer’s rights and obligations with respect to Voluntary Title Exceptions and Monetary Title Exceptions as set forth in Section 8.6. Buyer’s right to exclude any Property pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.5 and Section 8.6 shall be subject to Section 13.3.

8.6 Voluntary Title Exceptions; Monetary Title Exceptions. In the event that the Buyer delivers an Objection Notice to the Sellers as set forth in Section 8.2 and such title exception constitutes a Voluntary Title Exception or Monetary Title Exception then the Sellers shall be obligated to discharge all such Voluntary Title Exceptions and Monetary Title Exceptions on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the maximum amount which the Sellers shall be required to expend in the aggregate (under this Agreement and under Section 8.6 of each of the Other PSAs, combined) in connection with the removal of Monetary Title Exceptions (which are not Voluntary Title Exceptions) shall be $5,000,000. In the event the Buyer notifies the Sellers of one or more Monetary Title Exceptions (which are not Voluntary Title Exceptions), which individually or in the aggregate would require the Sellers to expend more than $5,000,000 (under this Agreement and under Section 8.6 of each of the Other PSAs, combined) to remove, then the Sellers shall not be required to cause such Monetary Title Exception(s) to be removed and the Buyer may elect to (i) accept title to the Properties subject to such Monetary Title Exception(s) at the Closing, at which time the Buyer shall receive a credit against the Gross Asset Value in the amount of $5,000,000 (in the aggregate, without duplication under the Other PSAs), or (ii) exclude the applicable Property or Properties so impacted by such Voluntary Title Exception or Monetary Title Exception from this transaction. To the extent one or more Properties are excluded from this transaction pursuant to the immediately preceding

sentence, such affected Property and the Asset-Related Property related thereto in this Agreement shall constitute “Excluded Assets” for purposes of this Agreement.

8.7 Buyer’s Right to Accept Title. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, the Buyer may, by notice given to the Sellers at any time prior to the Closing Date, elect to accept such title as the Sellers can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions. In such event, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to the Closing, but the Buyer shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Gross Asset Value, any credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against the Sellers for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions.

8.8 Cooperation. The Buyer and the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with the Title Company (at no cost to Buyer) in connection with obtaining title insurance insuring title to each Property subject only to the relevant Permitted Exceptions. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at or prior to the Closing, the Buyer and the Sellers shall deliver to the Title Company such affidavits, certificates and other instruments as are reasonably requested by the Title Company and customarily furnished in connection with the issuance of owner’s policies of title insurance, including (i) evidence sufficient to establish (x) the legal existence of the Buyer and the Sellers and (y) the authority of the respective signatories of the Sellers and the Buyer to bind the Sellers and the Buyer, as the case may be, (ii) a certificate of good standing, or a certificate of existence, as applicable, of each Seller, (iii) if applicable, a partnership affidavit pursuant to Section 689.045, of the Florida Statutes, and (iv) a title affidavit in the form of Exhibit Q with such other reasonable additions thereto as may be reasonably and customarily requested by the Title Company.

Article IX

9.1 Transaction Costs. The Sellers shall pay for (x) all standard owner’s title insurance premiums for the title policies for the Properties and (y) the initial survey costs for the Properties. Buyer shall pay for (a) all real property transfer taxes, deed stamps, conveyance taxes, documentary stamp taxes and other Taxes or charges, in each case payable as a result of the transactions contemplated herein or the conveyance of a Property to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the property inspection reports and environmental Phase I reports provided by the Sellers to the Buyer, (c) the lender’s title insurance premiums and any endorsements, (d) Deed recordation fees, and (e) recording charges and mortgage taxes applicable to any third- party financing obtained by Buyer.

Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify the other parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all loss, damage,

cost, charge, liability or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which such other party may sustain or incur as a result of the failure of either party to timely pay any of the aforementioned Taxes, fees or other charges for which it has assumed responsibility under this Section 9.1. This indemnity shall survive all Closings hereunder.


9.2	Risk of Loss.

(a) If, on or before the Closing Date, any “material portion” of a Property shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or (ii) taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, the Sellers shall promptly notify the Buyer in writing. The Buyer shall be bound to purchase the affected Properties for the Allocated Asset Value in respect of such Properties (after taking into account the adjustments for net prorations and other adjustments provided for in this Agreement) as required by the terms hereof without regard to the occurrence or effect of any such casualty or condemnation.

(b) With respect to any casualty or condemnation affecting a “material portion” of a Property after the date of this Agreement, (A) the Sellers will credit against the Cash Consideration Amount payable by the Buyer at the Closing an amount equal to the sum of

(x)the net proceeds, if any, received by the Sellers from such casualty or condemnation and (y) the applicable deductible, if any, with respect to such casualty, or (B) Sellers will, at the Closing, assign to the Buyer all rights of the Sellers, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation.

(c) If, on or before the Closing Date, any portion of a Property that is not a “material portion” of such Property shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or

(ii) taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, the Sellers shall promptly notify the Buyer thereof in writing and, except with respect to damage or destruction that has been fully repaired and restored as of the Closing Date, (A) the Sellers will credit against the Cash Consideration Amount payable by the Buyer at the Closing an amount equal to the sum of (x) the net proceeds, if any, received by the Sellers from such casualty or condemnation and

(y)the applicable deductible, if any, with respect to such casualty, or (B) Sellers will, at the Closing, assign to the Buyer all rights of the Sellers, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation.

(d) For purposes of this Section 9.2, a “material portion” with respect to an individual Property shall mean any portion which materially and adversely affects access to any Property, otherwise materially and adversely impacts the operation of the Property, or which the cost to repair or restore will be equal to or in excess of the lesser of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Allocated Asset Value of such Property or (ii) $10,000,000.

Article X

ADJUSTMENTS PROPOSED

The prorations and payments provided for in this Article X shall be made at the Closing on a cash basis and set forth on the Closing Statement, which shall be prepared by Sellers and submitted to the Buyer for its review and approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing. The following shall be prorated between the Sellers and the Buyer as of the Closing Date (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable period) and shall be added to (if such net amount is in the Sellers’ favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in the Buyer’s favor) the Gross Asset Value at the Closing, with the Buyer being deemed to be the owner of the Property starting at 12:00 A.M. on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”) and being entitled to receive all operating income of the Property, and being obligated to pay all operating expenses of the Property, with respect to the Closing Date:

10.1 Taxes. All real estate taxes affecting the Property (including all certified, confirmed or ratified liens for governmental improvements or special assessments imposed by any taxing authority which affect the Property as of the Closing Date) (collectively, “Real Estate Tax”) shall be prorated between the Buyer and the Sellers on a Cash Basis, assuming payment of such Real Estate Tax would occur on the latest possible due date prior to delinquency pursuant to Applicable Law. As of the Closing Date, if the Real Estate Tax ▇▇▇▇ is not available for the year of the Closing, the proration of Real Estate Tax shall be based upon the most recently issued Real Estate Tax ▇▇▇▇. Promptly after the new Real Estate Tax ▇▇▇▇ is issued, the Real Estate Tax shall be reprorated pursuant to Section 10.11 below, and any discrepancy resulting from such reproration and any errors shall be promptly corrected by the parties. Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that the Real Estate Tax for North Carolina shall be prorated on a calendar year basis, whether or not same are due and payable prior to the Closing and regardless of the fiscal year of the taxing authority, and if the rate of any such Real Estate Tax is not fixed prior to the date of the Closing, the adjustment and proration thereof at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the rate for the ▇▇▇▇ issued in the preceding calendar year applied to the latest assessed valuation, and the same shall be appropriately and promptly adjusted, if necessary, between Sellers and Buyer when the rate is fixed for the calendar year during which the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenants pay Real Estate Tax directly to the taxing authority, the portion of the Real Estate Tax paid directly by the Tenant to the taxing authority shall not be prorated. The Buyer shall pay all Real Estate Tax due and payable after the Closing and reconciliations with Tenants shall be responsibility of the Buyer post-Closing pursuant to Section

10.2 and Section 10.11 below. Except in connection with a reproration of Real Estate Tax applicable to the period for which Real Estate Tax is prorated pursuant hereto, in no event shall Sellers be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the Real Estate Tax on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. As used herein, the term “Cash Basis” shall refer to proration of Real Estate Tax based on the tax bills that have been or will be issued during the year of the Closing, regardless of when such Real Estate Tax accrued or the assessment period of the Real Estate Tax.

(a) Prepaid Tax. If any portion of any assessments against the Property other than Real Estate Tax that are paid by the Sellers with respect to the Property at or prior to the Closing determined on a cash (rather than accrual) basis, relate to any time including or after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers at the Closing the amount of such other assessments paid prorated for the number of days, from, including and after the Closing.

(b) Installments. To the extent that Real Estate Tax includes special assessments or installments of special assessments, for the purpose of this Section 10.1 Sellers’ prorated portion of such assessments shall be determined assuming payment over the longest period of time permitted by the applicable taxing authorities.

10.2 Fixed Rents, Additional Rents and Security Deposits.

(a) All fixed rents (“Fixed Rents”) and Additional Rents (as hereinafter defined and together with the Fixed Rents, collectively, the “Rents”) under the Leases, security deposits (except as hereinafter provided) and other tenant charges shall be prorated on a cash basis. The Sellers shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid Rents for periods from, including and after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the applicable Leases) to the Buyer on the Closing Date. The Sellers shall also transfer to the Buyer any security deposits that are held in the form of letters of credit (the “SD Letters of Credit”) if the same are transferable, at the Buyer’s cost (including the Buyer’s payment of any third party transfer fees and expenses); if any of the SD Letters of Credit are not transferable, the Sellers shall request the tenants obligated under such SD Letters of Credit to cause new letters of credit to be issued in favor of the Buyer in replacement thereof and in the event such a new letter of credit is not issued in favor of the Buyer by the Closing, the Buyer shall pursue such replacement after the Closing and the Sellers shall take all reasonable action, as directed by the Buyer and at the Sellers’ expense, in connection with the presentment of such SD Letters of Credit for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable Lease. Rents that are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. Any Rents collected by the Buyer or the Sellers after the Closing from any Tenant who owes Rents for periods prior to the Closing, shall be applied (i) first, in payment of Rents owed by such Tenant for the month in which the Closing occurs (which shall include the reimbursement to the Seller thereof, net of collection costs), (ii) second, in payment of current rentals at the time of receipt, (iii) third, to delinquent rentals, if any, which became due after the Closing, and (iv) then to delinquent rentals, if any, which became due and payable prior to the Closing (which shall include the reimbursement to the Seller thereof, net of collection costs); provided, however, that any year-end or similar reconciliation payment shall be allocated as hereinafter provided. The Buyer shall ▇▇▇▇ Tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing on a monthly basis following the Closing and use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to collect such past due Rents, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect such amount. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Additional Rent(s)” shall mean amounts payable under any Lease for (i) the payment of additional rent based upon a percentage of the Tenant’s business during a specified annual or other period (sometimes referred to as “percentage rent”), (ii) so-

called common area maintenance or “CAM” charges, and (iii) so called “escalation rent” or additional rent based upon such tenant’s allocable share of insurance, real estate taxes or operating expenses or labor costs or cost of living or ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ wages or otherwise.

(b) Additional Rent shall be determined in accordance with the Leases, including any Lease provisions that provide for the adjustment of Additional Rent based on occupancy changes (i.e., “gross-up” provisions). In addition, to the extent that a Lease provides for base year amounts or “stops” for operating expenses or Taxes, such base year and “stop” amounts shall be prorated in determining Additional Rent with respect to such Lease. The relevant Seller’s “share” of Additional Rent for the calendar year in which Closing occurs (the “Closing Year”) shall be determined in accordance with Section 10.2(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no proration of any such Additional Rent that is delinquent as of Closing. The Buyer shall ▇▇▇▇ Tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing on a monthly basis following the Closing and use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to collect such past due Rents, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect such amount.

(c) In order to enable the Buyer to make any year-end reconciliations of Tenant reimbursements of Additional Rent for the Closing Year after the end thereof, the Sellers shall determine in accordance with Section 10.2(b) hereof the Additional Rent actually paid or incurred, or to be paid or incurred, by each Seller for the portion of the Closing Year during which such Seller owned the applicable Property (the portion of such Additional Rent corresponding to each such Seller’s period of ownership, the “Sellers’ Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”) and the Tenant reimbursements for such Additional Rent actually paid or to be paid by Tenants for the Closing Year during which each such Seller owned the applicable Property (the portion of such reimbursements for Additional Rent corresponding to such Seller’s period of ownership, the “Sellers’ Actual Tenant Reimbursements”). On or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer a reconciliation statement (“Sellers’ Reconciliation Statement”) with all supporting tenant calculations, electronic workbooks and any other relevant or related support documentation setting forth (i) Sellers’ Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, (ii) Sellers’ Actual Tenant Reimbursements, and (iii) a calculation of the difference between the two (i.e., establishing that the Sellers’ Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses were either more or less than the Sellers’ Actual Tenant Reimbursements). Any amount due Sellers pursuant to the foregoing calculation (in the event the Sellers’ Actual Tenant Reimbursements are less than the Sellers’ Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses) shall be remitted to the Sellers promptly upon receipt by the Buyer of such amounts from the applicable Tenant. In the event the Sellers’ Actual Tenant Reimbursements as disclosed on the Sellers’ Reconciliation Statement are more than the Sellers’ Actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, then the Sellers shall pay such amounts to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Sellers’ Reconciliation Statement to the Buyer and, upon receipt of such payment, the Buyer shall be responsible for the refund to Tenants of any overpayments in accordance with their Leases.

(d) The Sellers and the Buyer acknowledge that payments by Tenants of Additional Rent may be subject to audit by Tenants in accordance with the terms of their Leases

(“Tenant Audits”). With respect to any Tenant Audit pending as of the Closing Date or initiated within a permissible audit term under the applicable Lease and applicable, in whole or in part to the Sellers’ period of ownership, the Sellers agree that (i) the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in responding to information requests made in connection therewith, and (ii) the Sellers shall be responsible for the defense and payment of any claim resulting therefrom and based upon claimed overpayments received by the Sellers. The Sellers’ obligations under this Section 10.2(d) shall not be subject to the time limitations set forth in Section 10.11(b) or Section 10.11(c) hereof.

10.3 Water and Sewer Charges. Water rates, water meter charges, sewer rents and vault charges, if any (other than any such charges, rates or rents which are payable by Tenants of the Property pursuant to such Tenants’ Leases, for which no adjustment shall be made), shall be adjusted and prorated on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed. If there is a water meter, or meters, on the Property, the Sellers agree that they shall at the Closing furnish a reading of same to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing and the unfixed meter charges and the unfixed sewer rent thereon for the time intervening from the date of the last reading shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading, and shall be appropriately readjusted after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills.

10.4 Utility Charges. Gas, steam, electricity and other public utility charges (other than any such charges which are payable by Tenants of the Property pursuant to such Tenants’ Leases, for which no adjustment will be made) will be paid by the Sellers to the utility company prior to the Closing Date and by the Buyer from and after the Closing Date. The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for a final reading of all utility meters (covering gas, water, steam and electricity) as of the Closing, except meters the charges of which are payable by Tenants of the Property pursuant to such Tenants’ Leases directly to such utility company. The Sellers and the Buyer shall jointly execute a letter to each of such utility companies advising such utility companies of the termination of the Sellers’ responsibility for such charges for utilities furnished to the Property as of the date of the Closing and commencement of the Buyer’s responsibilities therefor from and after the Closing. The Buyer shall arrange for such service to be placed in the Buyer’s name after Closing. If a ▇▇▇▇ is obtained from any such utility company as of the Closing, the Sellers shall pay such ▇▇▇▇ on or before the Closing. If such ▇▇▇▇ shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing, the Sellers shall, upon receipt of such ▇▇▇▇, pay all such utility charges as evidenced by such ▇▇▇▇ or bills pertaining to the period prior to the Closing, and the Buyer shall pay all such utility charges pertaining to the period thereafter. Any ▇▇▇▇ which shall be rendered which shall cover a period both before and after the date of Closing shall be apportioned between the Buyer and the Sellers as of the Closing.

10.5 Contracts. Charges and payments under all Assumed Contracts shall be prorated on a cash basis as of the Closing Date.

10.6 Miscellaneous Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, parking, or other income producing agreements shall be prorated on a cash basis as of the Closing Date.

10.7 Leasing Costs. The Sellers shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs that are payable by reason of (i) the execution of an “Existing Lease” (i.e., a Lease existing as of the date of this Agreement) prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) the renewal, extension, expansion of, or the exercise of any other option under, an Existing Lease, prior to the date of this Agreement, and (iii) amendments of an Existing Lease entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. If the Closing occurs, the Buyer shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs (including commissions to the Sellers’ in-house leasing agents that are customary arms-length terms that would otherwise be negotiated with a third-party leasing agent) that become due and payable as a result of (1) any New Leases, (2) amendments entered into during the Interim Period in accordance with this Agreement to renew, extend, expand or otherwise amend Existing Leases or New Leases, or

(3) any renewals, extensions or expansions of, or the exercise of any other option under, Existing Leases or New Leases exercised by tenants during the Interim Period or on or after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall have been provided the details of all such Leasing Costs prior to the Closing Date and approved the same in writing. In addition, the Buyer shall assume the economic effect of any “free rent” or other concessions pertaining to the period from and after the Closing; provided, however, that Buyer shall have been provided the details of all such Leasing Costs prior to the Closing Date and approved the same in writing. If, as of the Closing Date, the Sellers shall have paid any Leasing Costs for which the Buyer is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers therefor at Closing; provided, however, that Buyer shall have been provided the details of all such Leasing Costs prior to the Closing Date and approved the same in writing. The Sellers shall pay (or cause to be paid), prior to Closing, or credit the Buyer at Closing (to the extent unpaid) all Leasing Costs for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, and (subject to the reimbursement obligations set forth above), the Sellers shall pay (or cause to be paid) when due all Leasing Costs payable after the date of this Agreement and prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) the Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any unfunded contractual Leasing Costs and (b) the Sellers shall be responsible (and the Buyer shall not be responsible) for any leasing commissions or brokerage fees which become due and payable after the Closing pursuant to any leasing or brokerage agreement relating to the Properties, including the Leasing and Brokerage Agreements, except as specifically set forth in Section 3.3(g)(ii). In addition to the foregoing, at Closing, the Buyer shall be responsible (and shall reimburse the Sellers at Closing) for the leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and concessions for the Leases and the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.3(g)(ii) attached hereto. For purposes hereof, the term “Interim Period” shall mean the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer all Lease Termination Payments received by or on behalf of the Sellers from and after the date hereof, except, however, the Buyer acknowledges approval of the Leases referenced on Schedule 3.3(g)(ii).

10.8 Owners’ Association Assessments. If the Property is located in a business park which is governed by an Owners’ Association, reciprocal easement agreement, covenants, conditions and restrictions or similar property-related agreement, and the association or other applicable Person charges assessments with respect to the Property, then at the Closing (a) if such charges are payable after the Closing Date for a period before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer on the Closing Date an amount equal to the amount of such charges allocated to the period before the Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis, and (b) if such

charges were paid before the Closing Date for a period from and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the amount of such charges reasonably allocated to the period from, including and after the Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis.

10.9 Ground Lease Rent. If the Property is subject to a Ground Lease where a Seller pays rent, then at the Closing (a) if such Ground Lease rents are payable after the Closing Date for a period before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer on the Closing Date an amount equal to the amount of such Ground Lease rents allocated to the period before the Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis, and (b) if such Ground Lease rents were paid before the Closing Date for a period from and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the amount of such Ground Lease rents reasonably allocated to the period from, including and after the Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis.

10.10 General. Any other items of operating income or operating expense that are customarily apportioned between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties in the metropolitan area where the Property is located, as applicable, shall be apportioned in accordance with the customs of such metropolitan area where the Property is located; however, there will be no prorations for insurance premiums or payroll (because the Buyer is not acquiring or assuming the Sellers’ insurance or employment payroll obligations).


10.11	Re-Adjustment.

(a) In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Article X shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party hereto shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and reprorated when the information is available.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all reprorations contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed within one (1) year after Closing (subject to extension solely as necessary due to the unavailability of final information, but in no event to exceed eighteen (18) months after Closing).

Article XI

SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS; LIABILITY

11.1 Liability of Sellers. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 below, the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer, its affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Buyer-Related Entities”) against, and reimburse any Buyer-Related Entity for, all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection therewith (“Losses”) suffered or

incurred by any such Buyer-Related Entity, arising out of, or in any way relating to: (a) the failure of any representations or warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement or any Closing Document to be true and correct as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to a specific date, in which case, the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct as of such specific date), other than any breach or inaccuracy in respect of which an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value was made pursuant to Article X; (b) any breach of, default under or failure to perform any obligation or covenant made or to be performed by the Sellers pursuant to in this Agreement or the Closing Documents; and (c) any Retained Liabilities.

11.2 Liability of Buyer.

(d) any Assumed Liabilities (collectively, clauses (c) and (d) above shall be referred to herein as the “Buyer Specific Indemnification”), it being understood that the Buyer Specific Indemnification shall survive all Closings hereunder indefinitely.

11.3 Cap on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, the liability of the Sellers for Losses arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of the Sellers under this Agreement (or in any Closing Document) shall not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement and the Other PSAs combined (the “Cap”), however, the Buyer shall not make any claims for Losses in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of the Sellers under this Agreement unless such claims exceed

$1,000,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement and the Other PSAs combined (the “Basket”) (at which point the Buyer shall be entitled to make a claim for the aggregate amount of Losses and not just amounts in excess of the Basket). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Basket and Cap limitations set forth herein shall not apply to Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any breaches of the covenants and obligations of the Sellers set forth in Section 9.1, Article X, Article XII, and Section 14.3.


11.4	Survival.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the rights of the parties hereto to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of the

(i) with respect to any breach of or default under any covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement that by its nature is required to be performed at or prior to the Closing, shall not survive the Closing, and (ii) with respect to any covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement that, by its terms, is to have effect after the Closing, shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by such obligation or covenant, or, if no period is contemplated, shall survive indefinitely.


11.5	Notification of Claims.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim, demand or circumstance that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand or circumstance (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or breach of or default under any obligation or covenant must be delivered before the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 11.4(a).

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.5(a) with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the applicable Claim Notice and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Person that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the other party and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim.

(c) The Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided that (i) such settlement shall not encumber any of the assets of the Indemnified Party or contain any restriction or condition that would apply to such

Indemnified Party or to the conduct of the Indemnified Party’s business, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement (subject to Section 11.3, if applicable), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim.

11.6 Mitigation. Each of the parties hereto agrees to take commercial reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Losses for which it would have the right to seek indemnification hereunder.


11.7	Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a) With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement: (i) each such obligation shall be reduced by any Tax benefit (net of any costs or expenses (including any Tax) incurred in connection with seeking and securing such Tax benefit) that is actually realized by the Indemnified Party within two (2) Tax years of the recipient after the Tax year of the recipient in which such obligation arises; and (ii) all Losses shall be net of any amounts that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party or any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of such Loss.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Closing Document to the contrary, in no event shall either party hereto have any liability under this Agreement (including under this Article XI) or any Closing Document for any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages, including lost profits and opportunity costs (except to the extent such damages are assessed in connection with a Third Party Claim with respect to which the Person against which such damages are assessed is entitled to indemnification hereunder).

11.8 Exclusive Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, and except as to fraud, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Sellers’ Related Entities and any Buyer-Related Entities, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of or inaccuracy with respect to any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement by the Buyer or the Sellers, respectively, or any breach or failure by the Buyer or the Sellers, respectively, to perform or comply with any obligation or covenant set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Article XII

TAX CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS

12.1 Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any Tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Property, relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of the Closing, the relevant Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. If any Tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Property, relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then the relevant Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same; provided, however, that such Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without the Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with such Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such Tax reduction proceedings.

12.2 Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of Taxes resulting from such Tax reduction proceedings shall be applied first to reimburse the parties for their reasonable third-party out of pocket costs and expenses in prosecuting such proceedings. Remaining refunds or savings shall belong to and be the property of the Sellers if relating to Taxes payable in years prior to the Closing Year and shall be allocated between the parties based on their periods of ownership if relating to Taxes payable in the Closing Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any refund related to the Closing Year or any prior year creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Leases for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Lease to such Tenant), then (a) if such refund is received by a Seller, such Seller shall, subject to the Buyer’s reasonable approval of such Seller’s calculations, pay the Buyer the aggregate amount of such reimbursement obligation for disbursement to such Tenants, and (b) if such refund is received by the Buyer, the Buyer shall first reimburse the Sellers for their reasonable third-party out of pocket costs and expenses in prosecuting such proceedings, and then, subject to the Seller’s reasonable approval of the Buyer’s calculations, (i) disburse the aggregate amount of such required reimbursement obligation to such Tenants, and (ii) pay the balance of such refund to the Sellers to be allocated and disbursed in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 12.2. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings (except to the extent paid directly by and reimbursable to the Sellers or the Buyer set forth above) shall be apportioned between the Sellers and the Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to the Sellers and the Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to Tenants); provided, however, that neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.


12.3	Survival. The provisions of this Article XII shall survive the Closing.

Article XIII DEFAULT

13.1 Buyer Default.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Sellers prior to the earliest to occur of (x) the Closing and (y) the Initial Closing if:

(i) (A) the Buyer shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any obligation or covenant applicable to the Buyer that would cause any condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.1 not to be satisfied, and such condition to Closing is incapable of being satisfied by the earlier of (x) the six (6) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”) and (y) ten (10) Business Days after the giving of written notice by the Sellers to the Buyer of such breach or failure, or (B) the Buyer shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any obligation or covenant applicable to the Buyer that would cause any condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.1 of such Other PSA not to be satisfied, and such condition to Closing to such Other PSA Closing is incapable of being satisfied by the earlier of (x) the Outside Date and (y) ten (10) Business Days after the giving of written notice by the Sellers to the Buyer of such breach or failure; provided, however, that if the Initial Closing does not occur solely as a result of the Buyer’s failure to satisfy its obligation set forth in Section 5.1(d), then the Sellers may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Outside Date; provided that the Sellers shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.1(a)(i) if any of the Sellers are then in material breach of any of their covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement; or

(ii) a final, nonappealable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, law, or regulation permanent restraining or prohibiting the transfer of the Transferred Assets is entered by or with any Governmental Authority.

(i) then the Sellers shall be required to terminate each Other PSA pursuant to Section 13.1(a) of each Other PSA, and (ii) this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other except (A) for those provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and


(B)	as set forth in Section 13.1(c).

(c) In the event the Sellers terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i), the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.5, (i) to the extent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is held in the form of immediately available wired funds, disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (together with interest thereon) to the Sellers or (ii) to the extent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is held in the form of a letter of credit, deliver the letter of credit to the Sellers and the Sellers shall make a drawing upon such receipt of the letter of credit, and upon such disbursement the Sellers and the Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. The Buyer and the Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical and/or extremely difficult to fix or establish the actual damage sustained by the Sellers as a result of a default by the Buyer, and agree that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is a reasonable approximation thereof. Accordingly, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall constitute and be deemed to be the agreed and liquidated damages of the Sellers, and shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers as the Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy hereunder.


13.2	Seller Default.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Buyer prior to the earliest to occur of (x) the Closing and (y) the Initial Closing if:

(i) (A) the Sellers shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to comply with any obligation or covenant applicable to the Sellers that would cause any condition to Closing set forth in Section 5.2 not to be satisfied, and such condition to Closing is incapable of being satisfied by the earlier of (x) the Outside Date and (y) ten (10) Business Days after the giving of written notice by the Buyer to the Sellers of such breach or failure, or

(b)	In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.2(a),

(i) then the Buyer shall be required to terminate each Other PSA pursuant to Section 13.2(a) of each Other PSA, and (ii) this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other except (A) for those provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and

(B) as set forth in Section 13.2(c) and (d).

(c) Upon termination of this Agreement by the Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(a)(i), as the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy upon such termination (except for the additional remedy provided in Section 13.2(d) below), the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.5, (i) to the extent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is in the form of immediately available wired funds, disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (together with interest thereon) to the Buyer, or (ii) to the extent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is in the form of a letter of credit, return such letter of credit to the Buyer, and upon such disbursement the Sellers and the Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination (including those set forth in Section 13.2(d)).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to terminating this Agreement and receiving the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, the Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual out- of-pocket expenses incurred in negotiating this Agreement and conducting due diligence activities contemplated hereunder and arranging for and documenting any financing, including any lender commitment fees, if any (not to exceed $7,500,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement and the Other PSAs, combined). This reimbursement shall not apply if the Buyer

succeeds in an action to cause specific performance as provided in Section 13.2(e). The provisions of this Section 13.2(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) In lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a), the Buyer may specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (but, if such specific performance is elected, no other action (for damages or otherwise) shall be permitted so long as such specific performance is granted to the Buyer); provided that any action by the Buyer for specific performance must be filed, if at all, within forty-five (45) days of the Other PSA Assets Closing Date, as may be extended, and the failure to file within such period shall constitute a waiver by the Buyer of such right and remedy. If the Buyer shall not have filed an action for specific performance within the aforementioned time period or so notified the Sellers of its election to terminate this Agreement, the Buyer’s sole remedy for the Sellers’ default shall be to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, to receive its ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, and to be reimbursed for its expenses as set forth in Section 13.2(d).

13.3 Material Defects Arising Prior to the Initial Closing. In the event the aggregate amount of the Allocated Asset Value for the Transferred Assets and Other PSA Assets removed from the terms of this Agreement and the Other PSAs pursuant to Section 8.5 and/or Section 8.6 of this Agreement and of the Other PSAs is equal to or in excess of $500,000,000 (in the aggregate under this Agreement and the Other PSAs, combined), then, at any time prior to the earliest to occur of (x) the Initial Closing and (y) the “Initial Closing” under any Other PSA, each of the Sellers and the Buyer shall have a right to terminate this Agreement as to all Transferred Assets (provided, however, that if either such party terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.3, then such party shall be required to terminate each Other PSA pursuant to Section 13.3 of each Other PSA), in which event the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.5, (a) to the extent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is in the form of immediately available wired funds, disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to the Buyer, or (b) to the extent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is in the form of a letter of credit, return such letter of credit to the Buyer, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination (including Section 13.2(d)). Nothing contained in this Section 13.3 shall in any way limit the other rights and remedies of the Sellers or the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 above. This Section 13.3 shall be of no further force or effect following the Other PSA Assets Closing.


13.4	[Reserved]


13.5	Limitation on Sellers’ Liability.

(a) No partner, member, employee, shareholder or agent of the Sellers, nor any of Sellers’ Related Entities, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and the Buyer and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to the Sellers’ assets for

the payment of any claim or for any performance, and the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability.

(b) The provisions of this Section 13.5 shall survive all Closings hereunder or sooner termination of this Agreement.


13.6	Limitation on Buyer’s Liability

(a) No partner, member, employee, shareholder or agent of the Buyer, nor any Buyer-Related Entities, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and the Sellers and their respective successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to the Buyer’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and the Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, hereby waive any and all such personal liability.

(b) The provisions of this Section 13.6 shall survive all Closings hereunder or sooner termination of this Agreement.

14.1 Use of Duke Name.

Article XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) The Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Buyer nor any affiliate, successor, assignee or designee of the Buyer shall be entitled to use the names “Duke Realty”, “Duke”, “BremnerDuke” or any ▇▇▇▇ thereof, or any Seller’s name or ▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “Duke Names and Marks”), in any way whatsoever, except to the extent permitted under this Agreement.

(b) The Buyer and its Affiliates shall (i) immediately upon the Closing Date cease all use of any of the Duke Names and Marks on or in connection with all stationery, business cards, purchase orders, lease agreements, warranties, indemnifications, invoices and other similar correspondence and other documents of a contractual nature, (ii) promptly, and in any event no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, complete the removal of the Duke Names and Marks from all marketing and promotional brochures and (iii) with respect to Transferred Assets bearing any Duke Names and Marks, use their commercially reasonable efforts to re-label such Transferred Assets or remove such Duke Names and Marks from such Transferred Assets as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than six (6) months after the Closing Date.

(c) The Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees that after the Closing Date the Buyer and its Affiliates (i) will not expressly, or by implication, do business as or represent themselves as the Sellers or their Affiliates, (ii) with respect to assets managed, operated or leased after the Closing Date, will represent in writing to the owners or lessors of such assets that

such assets are those of the Buyer and its Affiliates and not those of the Sellers and their Affiliates and (iii) will cooperate with the Sellers or any of their Affiliates in terminating any contracts pursuant to which any Seller licenses any Duke Names and Marks to customers. The Buyer and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that other users of any Duke Names and Marks, whose rights terminate upon the Closing pursuant to this Section 14.1, shall cease use of the Duke Names and Marks, except as expressly authorized thereafter by Sellers.

(d) The Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Section 14.1, neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights in any of the Duke Names and Marks and neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall contest the ownership or validity of any rights of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates in or to any of the Duke Names and Marks.

14.2 Joint and Several Liability. Each Seller who is a party as a Seller to this Agreement (“Seller Party”) shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations and liabilities of such Seller (and each other Seller) under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each reference herein to the Seller shall also be deemed to refer to each Seller Party, (ii) references in this Agreement to the phrase “received by the Sellers” (or words of similar import) shall mean received by any Seller Party, (iii) references in this Agreement to the phrase “given by the Sellers” (or words of similar import) shall mean given by any Seller Party, and (iv) references in this Agreement to the phrase “in the possession of the Sellers” (or words of similar import) shall mean the possession of any Seller Party. Each Seller Party hereby irrevocably appoints Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the “Seller Agent”) to act as an agent for the Sellers (and for each Seller Party individually) in connection with all actions to be taken by the Sellers and/or a Seller Party in connection with this Agreement (including giving and receiving notices, granting or denying of consents, and accepting payments to be made to the Sellers under this Agreement). Accordingly (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing), (i) if the Buyer pays any amounts in connection with this Agreement to the Seller Agent (including the Cash Consideration Amount), then the same shall be deemed duly paid to the Seller (and thus to all of the Seller Parties) for all purposes of this Agreement; (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or other notice given by the Seller Agent to the Buyer shall be deemed to have been given by, and shall be binding on, the Seller (and thus all of the Seller Parties) for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Buyer shall have the right to rely on any such consent, approval or other notice so given; (iii) any claim or election by the Seller Agent to the Buyer shall be deemed a claim or election by all of the Sellers and shall be binding on all Sellers, and the Buyer shall have the right to rely thereon, and no duplicative claims shall be asserted;

(iv) any notice given by the Buyer to the Seller Agent shall be deemed to have been given to the Seller (and thus all of the Seller Parties) for all purposes of this Agreement; and (v) each Seller Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Seller Agent as the agent for the service of process on the Seller (and thus all of the Seller Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may insist that any action (such as the execution of a deed or other closing documents) that is required to be taken by the Sellers or any individual Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement actually be taken by the Seller (and thus all of the Seller Parties) or such individual Seller Party, as the case may

be (rather than by the Seller Agent acting as agent therefor). The provisions of this Section 14.2 shall survive all Closings hereunder.


14.3	Brokers.

(a) Each Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than the brokers identified on Schedule 14.3, and the Seller shall be responsible for paying any commissions or other amounts due such brokers. Each Seller agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the Buyer harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from the Sellers’ breach of the foregoing representation in this Section 14.3(a). The provisions of this Section 14.3(a) shall survive all Closings hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Buyer represents and warrants to the Sellers that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for brokers employed by the Sellers (which shall be paid by the Sellers in accordance with Section 14.3(a)). The Buyer agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the Sellers harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from the Buyer’s breach of the foregoing representation in this Section 14.3(b). The provisions of this Section 14.3(b) shall survive all Closings hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.


14.4	Confidentiality; Press Release; IRS Reporting Requirements.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, neither the Buyer nor any Seller shall disclose the terms of this transaction, either before or after Closing, except that this general prohibition shall not prevent (i) Sellers and the Buyer from releasing a joint press release concerning the sale of the Transferred Assets pursuant to Section 14.4(b) below, and (ii) any party from disclosing any matters set forth in this Agreement, or any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, if and to the extent that such disclosure is required by New York Stock Exchange regulation or Applicable Law or a court or other binding order or by applicable administrative rule or regulation or order of any regulatory or supervisory agency or authority with competent jurisdiction over such matter, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The parties hereto agree not to disclose the individual prices of each Transferred Asset to the extent legally permissible. No provision of this Section 14.4(a) will be construed to prohibit (1) disclosures to appropriate authorities of such information as may be legally required for federal securities, Tax, accounting, or other reporting purposes or other Applicable Law,

(2) confidential disclosures to Affiliates of either any Seller or the Buyer, (3) disclosures required in connection with legal proceedings to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (4) disclosures by any Seller or the Buyer in connection with the satisfaction of any condition precedent to the Closing, (5) disclosures of matters of which there is public knowledge other than as a result of disclosures made in breach hereof, (6) disclosure to the officers, employees, agents, contractors, attorneys, accountants, advisors and consultants of the parties on a need-to-know basis, and (7) disclosures to current and prospective lenders, partners, members,

investors and stockholders of the Buyer and its Affiliates; provided that the Buyer shall advise each such Person of the confidential nature of such information and that such Persons agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof.

(b) The Sellers or the Buyer may issue a press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the content of any such press release shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other party hereto if issued within

six (6) months of the Closing Date.

(c) For the purpose of complying with any information reporting requirements or other rules and regulations of the IRS that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any requirements set forth in Income Tax Regulation Section 1.6045-4 and any successor version thereof (collectively, the “IRS Reporting Requirements”), the Sellers and the Buyer hereby designate and appoint the Escrow Agent to act as the “Reporting Person” (as that term is defined in the IRS Reporting Requirements) to be responsible for complying with any IRS Reporting Requirements. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges and accepts such designation and appointment and agrees to fully comply with any IRS Reporting Requirements that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the responsibility and obligations of the Escrow Agent as the Reporting Person, the Sellers and the Buyer hereby agree to comply with any provisions of the IRS Reporting Requirements that are not identified therein as the responsibility of the Reporting Person.


14.5	Escrow Provisions.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, to the extent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is in the form of immediately available wired funds, in escrow in an interest- bearing bank account at First American Trust, FFB (the “Escrow Account”).

(b) The Escrow Agent shall hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in escrow in the Escrow Account until the Closing or any other sooner termination of this Agreement and shall hold or apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.5(b). The Sellers and the Buyer understand that no interest is earned on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money during the time it takes to transfer into and out of the Escrow Account. At the Closing, a pro rata portion (subject to Section 2.3) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to, or at the direction of, the Sellers. If the Closing does not occur as a result of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(ii), Section 13.2(a)(i) or Section 13.2(a)(ii), the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the Buyer. If the Closing does not occur for any other reason and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of such amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such

five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement or a final judgment of a

court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money with the clerk of the court of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Indiana. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to the Sellers and the Buyer. Upon such deposit, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.

(c) The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part, other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers and the Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder.

(d) The Escrow Agent has acknowledged its agreement to these provisions by signing this Agreement in the place indicated following the signatures of the Sellers and the Buyer.

14.6 Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The stipulations, terms, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including any successor entity after a public offering of stock, merger, consolidation, purchase or other similar transaction involving a party hereto) and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and such assigns or designees, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

14.7 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Buyer without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Sellers’ sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Buyer may assign this Agreement to one or more (a) direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer in which the Buyer or the Buyer’s Affiliate owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in each such subsidiary or (b) Affiliates of the Buyer (as applicable, a “Majority Owned or Controlled Entity”) and (ii) the Buyer may designate one or more Majority Owned or Controlled Entities to which one or more of the Transferred Assets will be assigned at the Closing (each, a “Designated Subsidiary”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Closing, any Seller may transfer any Transferred Asset to a single purpose entity that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by such Seller or one of its Affiliates, and such single purpose entity shall be deemed a “Seller” for all purposes under this Agreement and the Closing Documents, as applicable.

14.8 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including (i) transferring back to the Sellers any asset or

liability not contemplated by this Agreement or any Closing Document to be a Transferred Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which asset or liability was transferred to the Buyer or one of its Affiliates at the Closing and (ii) transferring to the Buyer (and having the Buyer assume) any asset or liability contemplated by this Agreement or any Closing Document to be a Transferred Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was not transferred to the Buyer or one of its Affiliates at the Closing).

14.9 Notices. All notices, demands, consents, approvals, requests or other communications made pursuant to, under or by virtue of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be (i) personally delivered, (ii) delivered by express mail, Federal Express or other comparable overnight courier service, (iii) transmitted by e-mail to the appropriate e-mail address listed below, so long as such e-mail or attached correspondence thereto expressly identifies in the subject line in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS that such correspondence constitutes an official notice pursuant to this Section 14.9; provided that, except with respect to notices in connection with New Leases and new contracts pursuant to Section 3.3(c) and Section 3.3(d), a copy is sent the same day by messenger or by Federal Express or other recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) mailed to the party to which the notice, demand, consent, approval, request or other communication is being made by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, as follows:

GUARANTEE

The undersigned (the "Guarantor"), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees

(a)the payment when due of all amounts payable by the Buyer to the Sellers under or pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document to which the Buyer is a party, and (b) the performance when due of the Buyer's obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document to which the Buyer is a party (each, a "Guaranteed Obligation" and collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). The Guarantor hereby agrees to reimburse the Sellers for all reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by any such Seller in connection with the enforcement of this Guarantee, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

The Guarantor hereby agrees to be bound by, and shall stand behind, the covenants and other obligations made by the Buyer hereunder as if the undersigned executed this Agreement with respect to the obligations of the Buyer. This Guarantee is an unconditional guaranty of payment, not collection, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Sellers first attempt to collect any amounts from the Buyer or resort to any security or other means of collecting payment. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Buyer or any other Person or whether the Buyer or any other Person are joined in any such action or actions. All payments under this Guarantee shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds. The Guarantor promises and undertakes to make all payments hereunder free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind.

The Sellers shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligation in the event that the Buyer becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guarantor to so file shall not affect the Guarantor's obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Sellers in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to the Buyer for any reason whatsoever (except pursuant to the Buyer's remedies under this Agreement), the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made. The Guarantor reserves the right to assert defenses which the Buyer may have to payment of any Guaranteed Obligation.

The Guarantor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Sellers upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations.

The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Sellers it has the requisite power to execute and deliver this Guarantee and to perform its obligations under it and has taken all action necessary to authorize such execution and delivery and the performance of such obligations.

This Guarantee constitutes the Guarantor's legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable

against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity). The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of this Guarantee and the performance of its obligations under it do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in any violation of the Guarantor's organizational documents, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms and conditions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, arrangement, understanding, accord, document or instrument by which the Guarantor is bound, or (iii) violate any existing term or provision of any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, law, or regulation applicable to the Guarantor or any of its assets. All authorizations from, and all notices or filings with, any Governmental Authority that are necessary to enable the Guarantor to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guarantee have been obtained or made (as the case may be) and are in full force and effect and all conditions of each such authorizations have been complied with.
