537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 18 ‑
17-40684037


Manager, to procure subscribers for, and failing which to subscribe at the Offering Price for the total number of Underwritten Units set forth opposite each such Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter's name under "Number of Underwritten Units" in Schedule 1, and the Manager undertakes to procure the issuance of the Units to such subscribers or, as the case may be, to such Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter or to such entities as such Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter may direct.
2.1.1
If a Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations on the First Closing Date to procure subscribers or subscribe for, the Underwritten Units which it has agreed to procure subscribers or subscribe for under this Agreement (such Underwritten Units in respect of which the Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter has defaulted in the performance of its obligations being called the "Defaulted Underwritten Units"), the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriter shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to subscribe, or to procure subscribers for, all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Underwritten Units. If, however, the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability to the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters. Nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter from liability for its default. For the avoidance of doubt, the underwriting and selling commissions payable to the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters which have subscribed for, or have procured to subscribe for the Defaulted Underwritten Units shall be correspondingly increased to include the underwriting and selling commission originally payable to the defaulting Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter for the sale and placement of the Defaulted Units in accordance with the proportion of the Defaulted Underwritten Units subscribed, or subscription of which is procured, by the relevant non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters.

The parties agree that if after the First Closing Date the Units are not listed on the SGX-ST by 2.00 p.m. (Singapore time) on 19 July 2019 for any reason, including by reason of a stop order being issued by the MAS, any of the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters shall be entitled to require the Manager and the Trustee to return the Offering Proceeds and proceeds of the Cornerstone Units to investors subscribing for Units in the Offering or, as the case may be, the Cornerstone Investors, as soon as practicably possible (for subscriptions made via automated teller machines, within 24 hours) following the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters becoming aware that the Listing and/or trading in the Units will not proceed, and otherwise in accordance with all applicable laws, rules or directives of any governmental or regulatory agency. The parties further agree that to the extent that upon such failure to list and/or trade the Units on the SGX­ ST, any Units are not deemed to have been cancelled by operation of law, that they will reasonably cooperate, including by taking actions as may be necessary with CDP, to return such Units to the Manager and the Trustee for cancellation.

2.3
Over-Allotment Option
2.3.1
Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters are hereby granted an Over-Allotment Option by the Unit Lender, exercisable by the Stabilising Manager (or any of its Affiliates or other persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager) in consultation with the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters, in full or in part, on one or more occasions, to acquire from the Unit Lender up to an aggregate of 22,727,000 Units at the Offering Price, representing not more than 6.8% of the total number of Units in the Offering solely to cover the over­ allotment of Units (if any) made in connection with the Offering.
The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable from the Listing Date but no later than the earliest of (i) the date falling 30 days from the Listing Date or (ii) the date when the Stabilising Manager (or any of its Affiliates or other persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager) has bought, on the SGX-ST, an aggregate of 22,727,000 Units (representing not more than 6.8% of the total number of Units in the Offering), to undertake stabilising actions to purchase up to an aggregate of 22,727,000 Units (representing not more than 6.8% of the total number of Units in the Offering), at the Offering Price solely to cover the over-allotment of Units (if any), subject to any applicable laws and regulations.
Such notice of exercise shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 7 of this Agreement, shall state the number of Over-Allotment Units from the Unit Lender in respect of which the Over-Allotment Option is being exercised and shall designate the Option Closing Date for the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option which shall be no earlier than the First Closing Date and no earlier than the date falling three Business Days after the date of such notice.
2.3.2
If a Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations on an Option Closing Date to purchase, or procure purchasers for, the Over-Allotment Units which it has agreed to purchase, or procure purchasers for, under this Agreement (such Over-Allotment Units in respect of which the Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter has defaulted in the performance of its obligations being called the "Defaulted Over-Allotment Units"), the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase, or to procure purchasers for, all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Over-Allotment Units. If, however, the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter may terminate their obligations to purchase the Defaulted Over-Allotment Units without liability to the non-defaulting Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters. Nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter from liability for its default.
2.3.3
In the event and to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, the Unit Lender agrees to sell to the Stabilising Manager, as agent of the Joint Bookrunners and

‑ 20 ‑

2.3.4
The Unit Lender shall on each Option Closing Date, deliver such number of Over-Allotment Units equal to the number of Over-Allotment Units specified in the notice of exercise of the Over-Allotment Option against the payment for the Over-Allotment Units in accordance with Clause 7.2 of this Agreement. The obligation of the Stabilising Manager to re-deliver the Over-Allotment Units under the Unit Lending Agreement shall be deemed to have been discharged to the extent of the number of Over-Allotment Units in respect of which the Over-allotment Option has been exercised by the Stabilisation Manager and payment of which has been made to the Unit Lender.
2.3.5
Any notice of exercise may only be given on a Business Day and if given later than 5:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been given on the immediately following Business Day.

added tax) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, disputing or defending any such Claims or Losses (whether actual, pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is or may be a party to any such Claims) or exercise of any right of action, provided that the indemnity provided in Clause 9.1 (to the extent it relates to the performance of Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters' obligations under this Agreement) shall not apply to the extent that such Claims or Losses have been determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the fraud, wilful default or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. This indemnity will be additional to any liability which the Manager may otherwise have, and will be additional and without prejudice to any rights which such Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise. The non-application of the indemnity to an Indemnified Person shall not affect the application of such indemnity in respect of any other Indemnified Persons.
9.2
Indemnity by the Sponsor
The Sponsor hereby undertakes to each Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter (on behalf of itself and its relevant Indemnified Person):
9.2.1
to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless on a continuing and after tax basis each Indemnified Person against any and all Losses or Claims joint or several (including legal fees and any applicable GST, value added tax or other similar taxes)) which it may become subject to (whether or not such Claim is successful, compromised or settled, and whether actual, pending or threatened), insofar as such Losses or Claims are based on or arising, or indirectly, out of any breach or alleged breach by the Sponsor of any of the representations, warranties, undertakings or obligations made by, or relating to, it under this Agreement; and
9.2.2
without limiting Clause 9.2.1, to reimburse each Indemnified Person on a full indemnity basis for all costs, charges and expenses, (including legal fees and any applicable GST or value added tax) related to enforcement proceedings incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, disputing, defending, settling or responding any such Claims or Losses based on or arising, directly or indirectly, out of any breach or alleged breach by the Sponsor of any of the representations, warranties, undertakings or obligations made by, or relating to, it under this Agreement (whether actual, pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is or may be a party to any such Claims) or exercise of any right of action or the enforcement of any such settlement or any judgment obtained in respect of any Claims and Losses.
This indemnity will be additional to any liability which the Sponsor may otherwise have, and will be additional and without prejudice to any rights which such Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise.

537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 88 ‑
17-40684037


indemnity) to the Joint Bookrunner and Underwriters (on behalf of itself and its Indemnified Persons) that:
9.3.1
if the Manager fails to pay any or all amounts owed by it under Clause 9.1 or Clause 9.5 following (i) the date on which such amounts have been declared by a court of competent jurisdiction (without being subject to further appeal) to be due and payable, or (ii) the date on which the Manager has admitted liability in writing to make such payments; or
9.3.2
if the Manager shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted with fraud, gross negligence, wilful default and/or breach of the Trust Deed while acting as manager of Prime US REIT and/or to have failed to have shown the degree of diligence and care required of it having regard to the provisions of the Trust Deed, and thereby having no right to be indemnified out of and to have recourse to the assets of Prime US REIT under the Trust Deed or at law, for the amounts owed by such Manager under Clause 9.1 or Clause 9.5,
the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters (on behalf of themselves and each relevant Indemnified Person) shall be entitled upon written demand to the Sponsor to recover from the Sponsor, and the Sponsor shall thereupon (on a several basis) pay to the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters an amount equal to half of the Manager's unpaid liability under Clause 9.1 and/or Clause 9.5 plus accrued interest from the date of original demand on the Manager pursuant to Clause 9.1 and/or Clause 9.5 at any applicable judgment rate, including any costs and legal fees incurred by the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters to collect such amounts.
This indemnity will be additional to any liability which the Sponsor may otherwise have, and will be additional and without prejudice to any rights which such Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise.
9.4
Indemnity by the Unit Lender
The Unit Lender undertakes to and agrees with each Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter:
9.4.1
to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless on a continuing and after tax basis each Indemnified Person against any and all Losses or Claims joint or several (including legal fees and any applicable GST, value added tax or other similar taxes)) which it may become subject to (whether or not such Claim is successful, compromised or settled, and whether actual, pending or threatened), insofar as such Losses or Claims are based on or arising, or indirectly, out of any breach or alleged breach by the Unit Lender of the representations, warranties, undertakings or obligations made by, or relating to, it under this Agreement; and
9.4.2
without limiting Clause 9.4.1, to reimburse each Indemnified Person on a full indemnity basis for all costs, charges and expenses, (including legal fees and any applicable GST or value added tax) related to enforcement proceedings incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, disputing, defending, settling or responding any such Claims or Losses based on or arising, directly or indirectly, out of any breach or alleged breach by the Unit Lender of any of the representations, warranties, undertakings or obligations made by, or relating to, it under this Agreement (whether actual, pending or threatened and

537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 89 ‑
17-40684037


whether or not any Indemnified Person is or may be a party to any such Claims) or exercise of any right of action or the enforcement of any such settlement or any judgment obtained in respect of any Claims and Losses.
This indemnity will be additional to any liability which the Unit Lender may otherwise have, and will be additional and without prejudice to any rights which such Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise. The non-application of the indemnity to an Indemnified Person shall not affect the application of such indemnity in respect of any other Indemnified Persons.
9.5
Contribution
If the indemnification provided for in Clause 9.1 (both separately and after taking into account the Sponsor's obligations in Clause 9.3), Clause 9.2 and/or Clause 9.4 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses or Claims (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Losses or Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Manager, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender on the one hand and the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Units.
If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Manager, the Sponsor and/or the Unit Lender on the one hand and the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses or Claims (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Manager, the Sponsor and/or the Unit Lender on the one hand and the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Placement Units and Cornerstone Units subscribed for or purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses), bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters with respect to the Placement Units and Cornerstone Units subscribed for or purchased under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender on the one hand or the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Manager, the Sponsor, the Unit Lender and the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Clause 9.5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Clause 9.5. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a

537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 90 ‑
17-40684037


result of the Losses or Claims (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Clause 9.5 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, disputing or defending any such Claims or Losses (whether actual, pending or threatened and whether or not any Indemnified Person is or may be a party to any such Claims).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 9.5, no Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter exceeds the amount of any damages which such Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Joint Bookrunner and Underwriters' obligations in this Clause 9.5 to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
9.6
Conduct of Claims
If any Claim or action shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person hereunder, and with respect to which an indemnity may be sought hereunder against any of the Manager, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender (as the case may be), the relevant Indemnified Person shall notify the indemnifying party in writing as soon as practicable (but the failure or delay so to notify any indemnifying party will not relieve it from liability under this Clause 9). An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defence of any such action, provided however, that legal advisers to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the Indemnified Person) also be legal advisers to the Indemnified Person.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any proceeding, commenced or threatened, or any Claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Clause 9 (whether or not the Indemnified Persons are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. The rights of the Indemnified Persons herein are in addition to any rights that each Indemnified Person may have at law or otherwise and the obligations of the indemnifying party herein shall be in addition to any liability which the indemnifying parties may otherwise have. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of any legal advisers (in addition to any local legal advisers) separate from its own legal adviser for any Indemnified Person.
9.7
Arrangement with advisers
If an indemnifying party enters into any agreement or arrangement with any Adviser for the purpose of or in connection with the Offering, the terms of which provide that the liability of the Adviser to the indemnifying party or any other person is excluded or

537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 91 ‑
17-40684037


limited in any manner, and any of the Indemnified Persons may have joint and/or several liability with such Adviser to the indemnifying party or to any other person arising out of the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall:
9.7.1
not be entitled to recover any amount from any Indemnified Person which, in the absence of such exclusion or limitation, the indemnifying party or the Indemnified Person would not have been entitled to recover; and
9.7.2
indemnify the Indemnified Persons in respect of any increased liability to any third party which would not have arisen in the absence of such exclusion or limitation.
9.8
Payments
All payments by the Manager, the Sponsor and/or the Unit Lender under this Agreement shall be paid without deductions, set-off, withholdings or counterclaim.
10.
GENERAL
10.1
Time of the essence
Any date or period specified herein may be postponed or extended by mutual agreement among the parties but, as regards any date or period originally fixed or so postponed or extended, time shall be of the essence.

Survival
The representations and warranties, undertakings, and other obligations made by the parties under this Agreement, the indemnities given by the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender under this Agreement, and the guarantee by each Guarantor under Clause 14, will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding a Joint Bookrunner and Underwriter's actual or constructive knowledge with respect to any of the matters referred to in the representations and warranties given by the Manager, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender, the completion of the arrangements set out in this Agreement for the subscription, transfer and payment for the Units, any investigation by the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 2.1, Clause 7.6 and Clause 8.
10.3
Rights and remedies
The rights and remedies of the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of those provided by law. The failure to exercise or any delay in exercising a right or remedy under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof or a waiver of any other right or remedy.
10.4
Currency indemnity
If a judgment or order is rendered by a court of any particular jurisdiction for the payment of any amounts owing to any of the parties to this Agreement or under a judgment or order of a court of any other jurisdiction in respect thereof, or for the payment of damages in respect thereof, in each case by any other party to this

‑ 92 ‑
17-40684037


Agreement, and any such judgment or order is expressed in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the currency of the relevant obligation (the "Contractual Currency"), the relevant payor shall indemnify the relevant payee against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between the Judgment Currency and the Contractual Currency occurring between (a) the date as at which any amount expressed in the Contractual Currency is converted, for the purposes of making or filing any claim resulting in any such judgment or order into an equivalent amount in the Judgment Currency or, if such conversion is made by the court for the purpose of making such judgment or order, the date as at which such conversion was made and (b) the date or dates of payment of such amount or of discharge of such first-mentioned judgment or order as appropriate.
10.5

10.6
Rights of third parties
A person who is not a party to this Agreement, may not enforce its terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (Chapter 538) of Singapore, except that each non-contracting Indemnified Person referred to in Clause 9 shall have the right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (Chapter 538) of Singapore, to enforce their respective rights under this Agreement as amended from time to time.
10.7
Entire agreement
Without prejudice to:
(a)    the Lock-Up Letters;
(b)    the Repayment Side Letter;
(c)    the Unit Lending Agreement; and
(d)    the notices delivered pursuant to this Agreement,
this Agreement supersedes any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between the parties to this Agreement (or any of them) in connection with the issuance, subscription and sale of the Units in connection with the Offering and constitutes the sole and entire Agreement between the parties in connection therewith.
10.8
No fiduciary relationship
Each of the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender acknowledges that
(a)
each of the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters is acting on an arm's length basis as principal, and not as its agent or adviser, to provide the services

537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 93 ‑
17-40684037


described herein and owes no fiduciary duties to it or any of its directors or management, employees, shareholders, Affiliates or creditors;
(b)
the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters are not acting in a fiduciary or advisory capacity with respect to it;
(c)
the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters are not assuming any duties or obligations other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement and may have interests that differ from its interests; and
(d)    it has consulted its own professional advisers to the extent it deems appropriate.
Further, each of the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender agrees and acknowledges that it is not the intention of the parties to create a fiduciary relationship between them and that it will not claim that the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any of the Manager, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender in connection with the purchase and sale of the securities under this Agreement or the process leading thereto.
In addition, each of the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender acknowledge and agree that (i) each of Joint Bookrunners and its Affiliates (each, an "Underwriter Group") is engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (which may include asset management, corporate banking, financing, non-banking financial company services, securities or derivatives trading and brokerage, insurance, corporate and investment banking and research). In the ordinary course of each Underwriter Group's activities, each Underwriter Group may at any time hold "long" or "short" positions and may trade in or otherwise effect transactions for their own account or accounts of customers in debt or equity securities of any company that may be involved in the Offering. Members of each Underwriter Group and businesses within each Underwriter Group generally act independently of each other, both for their own account and for the account of clients. Accordingly, there may be situations where parts of an Underwriter Group and/or its clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the interest of the Manager, Prime US REIT, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender. For example, an Underwriter Group may, in the ordinary course of business, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for their own account or on behalf of other clients, including, but not limited to, trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of the Manager, Prime US REIT, the Sponsor, the Unit Lender or any other entity involved in the offering. Each of the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of law or duties of confidentiality owed to other persons or the rules of any regulatory authority, the Underwriter Group may be prohibited from disclosing confidential information (or if such disclosure is inappropriate) to the Manager, Prime US REIT, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender, in particular information as to the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters' possible interests as described herein. Each Underwriter Group shall not restrict its activities as a result of this engagement, and the Underwriter Groups may undertake any business activity without further consultation with, or notification to, the Manager, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender. Neither this Agreement nor the receipt by the Underwriter Groups of confidential information or any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence)

537518-4-8594-v7.4
‑ 94 ‑
17-40684037


that would prevent or restrict such Underwriter Group from acting on behalf of other customers or for their own accounts or in any other capacity; (ii) members of each Underwriter Group and the Underwriter Group's directors, officers and employees may also at any time invest on a principal basis or manage funds that invest on a principal basis, in debt or equity securities of any company that may be involved in the Offering, or in any currency or commodity that may be involved in the Offering, or in any related derivative instrument. Further, each of the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters and any of the members of each Underwriter Group may, at any time, engage, in ordinary course, broking activities for any entity that may be involved in the Offering; and (iii) the Underwriter Groups may be representing and/or may have provided financial advisory and financing services for and received compensation from any one or more of the parties which are or may hereafter become involved in this transaction. The Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters and/or any member of their respective Underwriter Group may, in the future, seek to provide financial services to and receive compensation from such parties. None of the relationships described in this Agreement or the services provided by the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters to the Manager, Prime US REIT, the Sponsor or the Unit Lender or any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of confidence) which would preclude or limit in any way the ability of the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters and/or any member of their respective Underwriter Groups from providing similar services to other customers, or otherwise acting on behalf of other customers or for their own respective accounts. Each of the Manager, the Sponsor and the Unit Lender acknowledge and agree that, by reason of law or duties of confidentiality owed to other persons, or the rules of any regulatory authority, the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters may be prohibited from disclosing information to the Manager, the Sponsor, the Unit Lender or their respective Affiliates (or such disclosure may be inappropriate), including information as to the Underwriter Group’s possible interests as described in this paragraph and information received pursuant to client relationships.
10.9
Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall (so far as invalid or unenforceable) be given no effect and shall be deemed to be included in this Agreement but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

1.

or any other account or accounts domiciled in Singapore designated as the Advance Funding Account by agreement between the Advance Funding Parties.
(c)
Conditions to Funding. The obligation of the Advance Funding Parties to remit the Advance Funding Amount on the Funding Date shall be conditional upon the receipt by each of the Advance Funding Parties of all of the documents and evidence, and satisfaction of all other conditions, set out in Schedule B below (save for any waived by all the Advance Funding Parties).
(d)
Failure to Fully Fund. If any Advanced Funding Party ("Defaulting Funding Party") fails to remit the full amount of its proportion of the Advance Funding Amount to the Advance Funding Account by the Funding Date, then:
(i)
none of the other Advance Funding Parties will be obliged to fund their respective proportion of the Advance Funding Amount;
(ii)
the REIT Trustee and the Manager must immediately on demand from each Advance Funding Party refund to that Advance Funding Party the amount of the Advance Funding Amount which that Advance Funding Party had remitted to the Advance Funding Account under this Clause 1, and DBS Bank Ltd. will (and is hereby irrevocably authorised and directed by the REIT Trustee and the Manager to), as soon as reasonably practicable, deduct the amount of that refund from the Advance Funding Account and remit it to that Advanced Funding Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in United States dollars) to the account specified by that Advance Funding Party; and
(iii)
the REIT Trustee must immediately pay to each Advance Funding Party (other than a Defaulting Funding Party) its Advance Funding Fee accrued from the Funding Date up to (but excluding) the date of that Advance Funding Party's receipt of such refund, together with all other sums owing from the REIT Trustee to that Advance Funding Party.
(e)
Unlawfulness of Funding Cancelling Commitments. If, after the date of this Side Letter, it is or will become unlawful or will become unlawful in any jurisdiction for an Advance Funding Party to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Side Letter or to fund or maintain its participation in the Advance Funding Amount, no Advance Funding Party shall be obligated to make available its participation in the Advance Funding Amount to the REIT Trustee and (if any part of the Advance Funding Amount has been made available to the REIT Trustee) the Advance Funding Parties may cancel their respective commitments and require immediate repayment of the Advance Funding Amount or such part that has been advanced together with all accrued Advance Funding Fee outstanding and interest due and payable at the Applicable Rate (as defined in Clause 2 below) and any other outstanding sums and, if not repaid by the close of business (in Singapore) on the Business Day (in Singapore) after such amounts first become due, at the Default Rate (as defined in Clause 19 below). An Advance Funding Party must immediately notify all the other Advance Funding Parties and the REIT Trustee if it becomes

537518-4-8565-v9.0
‑ 3 ‑
17-40684037

(f)
aware that it is unlawful in any relevant jurisdiction for that Advance Funding Party to perform any of its obligations under this Side Letter or to fund or maintain its participation in the Advance Funding Amount.
2.
Advance Funding Fees
To compensate the Advance Funding Parties for their agreement to fund the Advance Funding Amount to the REIT Trustee on the Funding Date, the REIT Trustee shall pay to the Advance Funding Parties (to be allocated among the Advance Funding Parties pro rata in accordance with their respective Advance Funding Amounts) a fee (the "Advance Funding Fee") in an amount equal to interest accruing on the Advance Funding Amount from the Funding Date until the date that the Advance Funding Amount has been repaid in full at the Applicable Rate to the Advance Funding Parties. As used herein, the "Applicable Rate" means a rate to be advised by the Advance Funding Parties to the REIT Trustee. The Advance Funding Fee shall be fully-earned and become non-refundable upon payment of the Advance Funding Fee, and shall be due and payable on the date that the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations (as defined in Clause 3 below) are due and payable.
3.
Obligation to Repay
(a)
Repayment Obligations if Listing Occurs. If the Units in Prime US REIT are listed (the "Listing") on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST") by 2:00 p.m. (Singapore time) on 19 July 2019, or such other date and time as may be agreed by the Advance Funding Parties in their sole discretion (the "Listing Date"), the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations shall be repayable immediately by the REIT Trustee and the Manager to the Advance Funding Parties pro rata in accordance with their respective Advance Funding Amounts, and the REIT Trustee agrees to cause, and hereby irrevocably authorises and directs, the Manager to set aside a sufficient portion of Listing proceeds to be applied towards repayment of the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations. The REIT Trustee and the Manager agree that the Advance Funding Parties and/or the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters may set off the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations against (and retain, for payment of the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations, from) the proceeds of the Offering and the Cornerstone Units before remitting any further proceeds to the REIT Trustee, or into the non-interest bearing account opened by the Manager and operated by DBS Bank Ltd. (as the Receiving Bank) and designated as the "PRIME USD Unit Issue Account" solely for the purpose of depositing proceeds from the Offering and the Cornerstone Units (the "Receiving Bank"), pursuant to the terms of the Singapore Offer Agreement and the Placement Agreement, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, the setting off of the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations against the proceeds of the Offering and the Cornerstone Units pursuant to this Clause 3(a) shall satisfy the obligations of the REIT Trustee under this Side Letter to repay the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations, to the extent of the amount so set off and paid to the Advance Funding Parties.
(b)
Repayment Obligation if Listing Does Not Occur. If, for any reason, the Listing does not occur by the Listing Date, then the REIT Trustee shall immediately repay the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations to the Advance

537518-4-8565-v9.0
‑ 4 ‑
17-40684037

(c)
Funding Parties pro rata in accordance with their respective Advance Funding Amounts and procure the repayment of such amounts in accordance with the terms of the closing escrow agreement to be entered into on or around 17 July 2019 between the relevant parties substantially in the form set out in Schedule C (the “Escrow Agreement”). If, for any reason, the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations are not repaid in full by the Listing Date, the REIT Trustee agree to repay or procure the repayment to each Advance Funding Party of all that Advance Funding Party's unpaid portions of the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations by the close of business (in Singapore) on the next Business Day (in Singapore) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in United States dollars) to the account specified by that Advance Funding Party.
(d)
Overdue Amounts: If the REIT Trustee fails to repay the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations or any part thereof when due, it shall be liable to pay the Advance Funding Parties interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the due date until the date of repayment of the overdue amount; and the Advance Funding Parties shall be entitled to exercise all remedies available to them at law or in equity and the REIT Trustee shall, in addition to the Advance Funding Amount and the Advance Funding Fee and interest on overdue sums, be obligated to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees on the full indemnity basis) incurred by the Advance Funding Parties to enforce such obligations of the REIT Trustee under this Side Letter (the Advance Funding Amounts, Advance Funding Fee and such costs and expenses and all other sums payable by the REIT Trustee are, collectively, the "Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations"). Interest (if unpaid) on any amount (whether overdue or otherwise) will be compounded with that amount at the end of each calendar month but will remain immediately due and payable.
(e)
Time of the Essence. The parties hereto agree that time is of the essence with respect to the funding and repayment of the Advance Funding Amount and the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations, and the REIT Trustee shall have the responsibility of securing all consents and approvals and taking all necessary steps to ensure that the repayment is made to the relevant parties in United States dollars in the most expeditious manner and in any event no later than the due date required by this Clause 3.
(f)
Pari Passu Payment to the Advance Funding Parties. The parties to this Side Letter agree, and the REIT Trustee undertakes to the Advance Funding Parties that, all payments of the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations must be made to the Advance Funding Parties on a pari passu basis, proportionate to their respective shares of the Aggregate Advance Funding Obligations,

FORM OF CLOSING ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS CLOSING ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 17th day of July, 2019, by and among those parties identified as the “Seller Parties” on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, “Seller”), those parties identified as the “Buyer Parties” on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, “Buyer”), PRIME US-LOWER TIER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement described below (“Administrative Agent”), the investment banks listed on Exhibit B (the “Pre-funding Parties”), COMMONWEALTH LAND TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, in its capacity as the “Escrow Holder” under the Purchase Agreement (defined below) (“Escrow Holder”), and COMMONWEALTH LAND TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, in its capacity as “Title Company” under the Purchase Agreement (“Title Company”).
RECITALS
A.Seller and Buyer entered into that certain Portfolio Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of June 27, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase and sale of certain properties located throughout the United States, and more particularly described in the Purchase Agreement (each a “Real Property” and collectively, the “Real Properties”) and as set forth next to each applicable Seller Party’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto. Escrow Holder is the “Escrow Holder” named in the Purchase Agreement. Title Company is the “Title Company” named in the Purchase Agreement. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
B.The Purchase Agreement was executed in connection with the offering of units (“Units”) in Prime US REIT and listing of the Units on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX”) (the offering and the listing of the Units are referred to as the “IPO”). The IPO is scheduled to occur at 2:00 p.m. (Singapore Time) on July 19, 2019 (which is 11:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on July 18, 2019) (the “IPO Commencement Time”).

D.Buyer has advised Seller, Administrative Agent, Pre-funding Parties and Escrow Holder that the “Close of Escrow” (as defined in Section 3.5) and the Closing (as defined in the Credit Agreement) must occur substantially contemporaneously with the IPO Commencement Time. As a result, Seller, Buyer, Borrower, Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and each of the Pre-funding Parties need to coordinate the Close of Escrow hereunder and the Closing under the Credit Agreement with the IPO and the requirements and timing thereof, and therefore, desire to establish the specific procedures by which (1) Buyer and Seller will authorize and complete the Close of Escrow pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (2) Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), upon the Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Closing under the Credit Agreement, will authorize and complete the Closing thereunder, so that

the Close of Escrow hereunder and the Closing under the Credit Agreement will occur substantially contemporaneously with the IPO Commencement Time. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) to authorize and complete the Closing unless the conditions to the Closing under the Credit Agreement have been satisfied or will be satisfied upon the Close of Escrow as a result of the transactions provided for in these instructions and the other arrangements with respect to the Closing under the Credit Agreement that are occurring outside of this Agreement (collectively, such arrangements, the “Outside of Escrow Arrangements”).
E.    Seller, Buyer, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Pre-funding Parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions upon which (1) Escrow Holder, as the Escrow Holder under the Purchase Agreement, will be authorized to proceed with the Close of Escrow thereunder and the release of funds to the Borrower in connection with the Closing under the Credit Agreement, and Title Company, as the Title Company under the Purchase Agreement, will issue the Title Insurance Policies to Buyer, all as more particularly set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
F.At the request of the Borrower, provided that the conditions to the Closing under the Credit Agreement have been satisfied or will be satisfied upon the Close of Escrow as a result of the transactions provided for in these instructions and the Outside of Escrow Arrangements, the Lenders plan to remit funds to Administrative Agent representing the initial extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement, and Administrative Agent will remit those funds, less certain possible amounts to be net funded representing certain fees and costs due to Administrative Agent, the joint lead arrangers of the credit facilities under the Credit Agreement or the Lenders (collectively, such net amounts, the “Credit Agreement Funds”), to a separate holding escrow account solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) that Administrative Agent has established or will be establishing with the Escrow Agent (the “Credit Agreement Holding Escrow”) and in which none of the other parties hereto has or shall have any interest. Administrative Agent and the Escrow Holder are parties to separate escrow instructions related to the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow (the “Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Instructions”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1.Recitals.    The Recitals above are hereby incorporated as a material part of this Agreement. This Agreement is the Closing Escrow Agreement referred to in the Purchase Agreement.
2.
Procedure for Delivery and Confirmation of Closing Deliverables.
2.1    Delivery of Closing Documents. Prior to 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on July 17, 2019 (which is 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 17, 2019 and 12:00 a.m. Singapore Time on July 18, 2019) (the “Closing Document Delivery Deadline”), Seller, Buyer, Borrower and Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall cause to be delivered to Escrow Holder all of the documents listed in Exhibit C attached hereto (collectively, the “Closing Documents”) to be held in trust by Escrow Holder pending the Close of Escrow, including without limitation the e recorded with respect to each Real Property executed and acknowledged

by the applicable party, which are specifically designated on Exhibit C as recordable documents (the “Recordable Documents”). Buyer and Seller agree that the Closing Documents are certain documents required to be delivered by (i) Seller and/or Buyer, as applicable, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) any other documents provided by a party hereto to Escrow Holder to be held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to separate escrow instruction letters. Escrow Holder shall not be responsible for verifying whether it has received all required Closing Documents and may rely on a statement by the Buyer and Seller or their respective counsel under the Purchase Agreement, or by Administrative Agent or its counsel Morrison & Foerster LLP under the Credit Agreement, that all fully executed, original Closing Documents required to be delivered into this escrow have been delivered to it.
2.2Confirmation of Closing Documents. Upon Escrow Holder’s receipt of all of the fully executed original Closing Documents, if any, Escrow Holder shall immediately notify Seller, Buyer, Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Pre-funding Parties in writing by electronic mail (the “Closing Document Confirmation Notice”). If not all Closing Documents are fully executed and delivered prior to the Closing Document Delivery Deadline, Escrow Holder shall deliver written notice by electronic mail that identifies the Closing Documents that are missing or incomplete (the “Closing Document Deficiency Notice”), which electronic mail shall state that all Closing Documents have not been delivered in accordance with Section 2.1. In each case, Escrow Holder shall deliver a Closing Document Confirmation Notice or a Closing Document Deficiency Notice, as applicable, by 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time on July 17, 2019 (which is 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 17, 2019 and 3:00 a.m. Singapore Time on July 18, 2019). If Escrow Holder delivers a Closing Document Deficiency Notice, but subsequently receives all the Closing Documents, Escrow Holder shall immediately deliver a Closing Document Confirmation Notice. Escrow Holder’s delivery of the Closing Document Confirmation Notice shall constitute Escrow Holder’s confirmation that it has received all Closing Documents, each Closing Document has been executed by the applicable party(ies) thereto, and all exhibits and schedules to each such Closing Document, as applicable, have been attached thereof (or that Escrow Holder has the exhibits and schedules to be attached and has authorization to attach such exhibits or schedules). If no Closing Documents are listed on Exhibit C, the requirements in this Section 2 for the delivery of a Closing Document Confirmation Notice or Closing Document Deficiency Notice shall be inapplicable and, instead, the Buyer and Seller or their respective counsel under the Purchase Agreement, and Administrative Agent or its counsel Morrison & Foerster LLP under the Credit Agreement, shall endeavor to notify each other and the Escrow Agent within the time periods indicated above as to whether they are holding outside of this escrow for delivery upon the Close of Escrow and Closing under the Credit Agreement all documents and items necessary under the Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement respectively.
2.3
Execution of Closing Statement.
2.3.1    Prior to 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time on July 16, 2019 (which is 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 16, 2019 and 10:00 p.m. Singapore Time on July 16, 2019) (the “Closing Statement Delivery Deadline”), Buyer, Seller, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall approve and execute a master closing settlement statement (the “Closing Statement”) prepared by Escrow Holder shall also certify the approved Closing Statement.

2.3.2    Administrative Agent’s execution of the Closing Statement is solely for the purposes of confirming that it on behalf of the Lenders authorizes the use of the Credit Agreement Funds in accordance therewith, and Administrative Agent has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the payments pursuant to the Closing Statement or to assure payment of the same. Seller has been and shall remain solely responsible for directing that the Seller charges be paid in accordance with the Closing Statement and for determining the amount of such Seller charges. The Closing Statement shall provide that funds in the Escrow Account other than the Credit Agreement Funds are earmarked to pay the fees and expenses included in the line item for “arranger fees, upfront fees and non-legal expenses of Administrative Agent” on the Closing Statement. Buyer and Seller hereby advise Escrow Holder that a portion of the Purchase Price will not be funded into the Escrow Account because KBS REIT Properties III, LLC will instead be receiving certain Units (the “KBS Units”) as of the Close of Escrow in lieu of cash, which will be reflected in the Closing Statement. As of the date hereof, the estimated amount of the portion of Purchase Price that will be paid in the form of Units is approximately $200,999,919.
2.4    Confirmation of Closing Statement. Upon Escrow Holder’s receipt of a fully executed Closing Statement, Escrow Holder shall immediately notify Seller, Buyer, Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Pre-funding Parties in writing by electronic mail (the “Closing Statement Confirmation Notice”), which electronic mail shall attach a copy of the fully executed Closing Statement. If Escrow Holder has not received a fully executed Closing Statement prior to the Closing Statement Delivery Deadline, Escrow Holder shall deliver written notice by electronic mail (the “Closing Statement Deficiency Notice”). In either case, Escrow Holder shall deliver a Closing Statement Confirmation Notice or a Closing Statement Deficiency Notice, as applicable, by 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on July 16, 2019 (which is 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 16, 2019 and 12:00 a.m. Singapore Time on July 17, 2019). If Escrow Holder delivers a Closing Statement Deficiency Notice to Buyer, Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Pre-funding Parties and Escrow Holder, but subsequently receives the fully-executed Closing Statement, Escrow Holder shall immediately deliver a Closing Statement Confirmation Notice to such parties.
2.5    Delivery of Closing Funds. At or prior to 9:00 a.m. Pacific time on July 18, 2019 (which is 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 18, 2019 and 12:00 a.m. Singapore Time on July 19, 2019), the Buyer (i) [(out of a receiving bank account maintained with ______. in Singapore into which funds advanced by the Pre-funding Parties shall have been deposited)] shall initiate one or more wire transfers to the Escrow Holder in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit D, or cause such wire transfer to be initiated, so that the full “prefunding equity amounts” in the aggregate amount set forth in the Closing Statement (the “Pre-funded Equity Funds”) are deposited into a segregated account of Escrow Holder (the “Closing Escrow Account”) and (ii) shall arrange for certain additional funds to be deposited into the Closing Escrow Account representing certain net proceeds from financing (“MetLife Financing Proceeds”) provided by MetLife. Upon receipt of the Closing Statement Confirmation Notice, and provided that Escrow Holder has delivered its Closing Document Confirmation Notice if required, and provided that the conditions to the Closing under the Credit Agreement have been satisfied or will be satisfied upon the Close of Escrow as a result of the transactions provided for in these instructions and the Outside of Escrow Arrangements, Administrative Agent shall request the Lenders to remit their respective shares of the Credit Agreement Funds to it, and following

receipt thereof, Administrative Agent shall initiate one or more wire transfers, or cause such wire transfers to be initiated, so that the Credit Agreement Funds are deposited into a separate, segregated account of Escrow Holder established for the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow (the “Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Account”) pursuant to the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Instructions. All Pre-funded Equity Funds and Credit Agreement Funds shall be delivered by wire transfer in current and immediately available funds.
The Pre-funded Equity Funds, the MetLife Financing Proceeds and, if and when released from the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow to the Closing Escrow Account or otherwise authorized to be used on behalf of Administrative Agent for payment of the amounts set forth on the approved Closing Statement pursuant to the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Instructions, the Credit Agreement Funds (collectively, if and when the Credit Agreement Funds are so released or authorized to be so used, the “Closing Funds”) represent the aggregate closing funds due from Buyer that are necessary for the Close of Escrow as set forth on the approved Closing Statement.
2.6    Confirmation of Closing Funds. Upon Escrow Holder’s receipt of the Pre-funded Equity Funds and the MetLife Financing Proceeds in the Escrow Account and the Credit Agreement Funds in the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Account, Escrow Holder shall immediately notify Seller, Buyer, Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Pre-funding Parties in writing by electronic mail (the “Closing Funds Confirmation Notice”).

If Escrow Holder delivers a Closing Funds Deficiency Notice, but subsequently receives the Pre-funded Equity Funds and MetLife Financing Proceeds in the Closing Escrow Account and the Credit Agreement Funds in the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Account as required for the Close of Escrow pursuant to Closing Statement, Escrow Holder shall immediately deliver a Closing Funds Confirmation Notice. Escrow Holder’s delivery of the Closing Funds Confirmation Notice shall constitute Escrow Holder’s irrevocable confirmation and agreement that:
2.6.1Escrow Holder has received all of the Closing Documents, the Closing Statement, and is holding, in the Closing Escrow Account and the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Account, all Closing Funds that (when the Credit Agreement Funds are released to the Closing Escrow Account or otherwise authorized to be used on behalf of Administrative Agent for payment of the amounts set forth on the approved Closing Statement in accordance with the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Instructions) are required by this Agreement; and
2.6.2Provided that Escrow Holder is authorized by Administrative Agent to release the Credit Agreement Funds from the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Account to the Closing Escrow Account or to use such funds for payment of the amounts set forth on the approved Closing Statement, Escrow Holder shall be in a position to satisfy all of the conditions and requirements set forth in this Agreement and any supplemental instruction letter sent to Escrow Holder by Seller, Buyer, Borrower, MetLife, Administrative Agent or any of such party’s respecctive counsel.

2.7Additional Parties May be Copied on Notices. In light of the need to coordinate the Close of Escrow and the Closing under the Credit Agreement with the IPO, each of Buyer, Borrower, Seller and Administrative Agent shall have the right to request that certain members of their working teams (and of the working team of MetLife), including without limitation, representatives of the Pre-funding Parties and other parties managing and coordinating the IPO, and their respective counsel, be copied on the notices described in this Section 2 and Section 3 below; provided that the requesting party makes such request in writing prior to the Closing Document Delivery Deadline and clearly provides the electronic mail addresses of the parties to be copied in an electronic format.
2.8No Release of Closing Deliverables. Escrow Holder shall hold, and shall not release, any Closing Documents (including specifically the Deeds), any Pre-funded Equity Funds, the MetLife Financing Proceeds or, if and when released from the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow to the Closing Escrow Account or otherwise authorized to be used on behalf of Administrative Agent for payment of the amounts set forth on the approved Closing Statement pursuant to the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Instructions, any Credit Agreement Funds (sometimes collectively referred to as the “Closing Deliverables”) prior to the Close of Escrow and the Closing under the Credit Agreement or the termination of this Agreement. Buyer, Borrower, Seller and the Pre-funding Parties acknowledge that Escrow Holder will be holding the Credit Agreement Funds in the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow and will be entitled to release such funds into the Closing Escrow Account or otherwise authorize the use of such funds for payment of the amounts set forth on the approved Closing Statement only upon the instruction to do so provided to the Escrow Holder by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or as otherwise provided in Section 3.5 of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow Instructions, and none of Buyer, Borrower, Seller or any of the Pre-funding Parties has any interest in, or right to provide instructions to Escrow Holder with respect to, the Credit Agreement Holding Escrow.

By their execution hereof and joinder herein, Borrower promises for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders to pay interest on the Credit Agreement Funds from the time such funds are advanced by the Lenders to Administrative Agent as contemplated hereby, until they are repaid, at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement, which interest shall be payable in accordance with the Credit Agreement on the first Interest Payment Date, as such term is defined therein (if the Close of Escrow and Closing under the Credit Agreement occur, as more fully provided below) or, upon any termination of this Agreement, on the Termination Date. The amount of interest so due shall be paid to Administrative Agent in accordance with the payment procedures set forth in the Credit Agreement. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.9 shall apply regardless of whether the Close of Escrow or Closing occur and shall survive any Termination Date hereunder.
