If, for any reason (other than Seller’s default of its obligations under this Section 2.3(d)), such Failed Loan Defeasance does not occur on or before the Final Closing Date, and provided that the Buyer has observed and performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the related Loan Assumption Consent, then the applicable Property (together with all Asset-Related Property with respect to such Property) shall be deemed an Excluded Loan Assumption Asset. The Buyer’s obligations under this Section 2.3(d) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(e)    In the event that it is finally determined that a Property constitutes an Excluded Loan Assumption Asset, then (i) this Agreement shall terminate but only with respect to such Excluded Loan Assumption Asset, (ii) all references hereunder to such Excluded Loan Assumption Asset shall be deemed deleted, and such Excluded Loan Assumption Asset shall not be deemed a “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement (other than in respect of references to the Specified Properties and with respect to any terms and condition that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), (iii) the applicable Seller of such Excluded Loan Assumption Asset shall not be included in Sellers for purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price for such Excluded Loan Assumption Asset, and (v) neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with regard to the Excluded Loan Assumption Asset, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. In the event that a Property that is subject to an Assumed Loan shall become an Excluded Asset (other than an Excluded ROFR Asset, in which case the provisions of Section 8.9 shall apply) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Closing of each other Property that is also subject to such Assumed Loan shall, at the Sellers’ election, be adjourned (but not beyond the Final Closing Date) until the Sellers have (i) caused such Property that has become an Excluded Asset to be released from such Assumed Loan, and

28

(ii) paid all costs in connection therewith, including all amounts payable to the holder of such Assumed Loan. If the Sellers fail to make such election or fail to cause such release prior to the Final Closing Date, then each other Property that is also subject to such Assumed Loan shall be deemed an Excluded Loan Assumption Asset hereunder and the provisions of this Section 2.3(e) shall apply to each such Property.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Buyer shall not be obligated to do any of the following in order to obtain the Loan Assumption Consent: (i) repay any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Assumed Loans, (ii) fund any additional reserves, other than as may be necessary to comply with the requirements set forth in Schedule 2.3(f), (iii) provide any guaranty or indemnity with respect to the Assumed Loans, other than the replacement of the most recent existing guarantees and indemnities by the Buyer Replacement Guarantor in substantially the same form as the most recent existing guarantees and indemnities with respect to the applicable Assumed Loan, (iv) otherwise amend the Assumed Loans to increase the obligations or reduce the rights of the borrower and the guarantors thereunder, or (v) assume any Third Party Loan with respect to which an event of default has been declared in writing by the applicable lender that has not been cured on or prior to the Closing Date if the Assumed Loan Property Purchaser or its affiliates would be liable for such default from and after the Closing Date.

Section 2.4    Cash Deposit. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds an amount equal to Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) (such amount, the “Cash Deposit”). As used in this Agreement, “Escrow Agent” shall mean Chicago Title Insurance Company, having an office at 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017; Attn: Neal J. Miranda; Phone: (212) 880-1237; Fax: (917) 591-2689; Email: neal.miranda@ctt.com. The Cash Deposit shall be allocated among each of the Assets in proportion to their respective Allocated Purchase Price, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 2.4 hereof (the “Allocated Cash Deposit”). Upon completion of the Initial Closing, if the proviso set forth at the end of Section 2.2(c) is applicable, the remaining Cash Deposit shall be re-allocated among the remaining Assets which may be sold and purchased on the Final Closing Date in proportion to the relative Allocated Purchase Prices of such remaining Assets and the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.4 shall be deemed modified to reflect such reallocation. Upon the later of (x) the Initial Closing and (y) any Asset becoming an Excluded Asset pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon the written request of Buyer, the Allocated Cash Deposit for such Excluded Asset shall be paid over to Buyer, subject, however, to the limitation set forth in the proviso at the end of Section 2.2(c).

Section 2.5    Interest Bearing. The Cash Deposit shall be held in an interest-bearing escrow account by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 14.5(a) below.

Section 2.6    Independent Consideration. One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (the “Independent Consideration”) out of the Cash Deposit is the amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for the Sellers’ grant to the Buyer of the Buyer’s right to purchase the Properties pursuant to the terms hereof and for the Sellers’ execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided in this Agreement, is not refundable under any circumstances, and shall be retained by the Sellers notwithstanding any other

29

provisions of this Agreement. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes, the Independent Consideration shall be applied to the Purchase Price.

Section 2.7    Allocated Purchase Price. The Sellers and the Buyer hereby agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Properties as set forth on Schedule 2.7 (the “Allocated Purchase Price”). Furthermore, the Sellers and the Buyer hereby agree that the Purchase Price and any other amounts required to be included in income (including the Assumed Loans) for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Assets (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and any applicable state and local income tax purposes) and also for the purposes set forth in Section 9.1 hereof; provided, that the Purchase Price Allocation shall be consistent with the Allocated Purchase Price. At least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a draft of the Purchase Price Allocation setting forth its proposed calculation of the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price (including the amount of Assumed Loans) to be allocated among the Assets and the proposed allocation of such aggregate amount among such Assets. If within fifteen (15) days after their receipt of the draft Purchase Price Allocation the Sellers have not objected in writing to such draft Purchase Price Allocation, it shall become final. In the event that the Sellers object in writing within such 15-day period, the Sellers and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to agree upon the Purchase Price Allocation within a period of thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ notice of objection is received by the Buyer, then any disputed items shall be determined by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the parties, whose determination shall be final and binding on the parties. In this event, the fees and costs of such accounting firm shall be shared equally by the Buyer and the Sellers. The Sellers and the Buyer agree to (i) act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, in any relevant Tax Returns or filings, including any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any provisions of local, state and foreign law, and to cooperate in the preparation of any such Tax Returns or filings and to file such Tax Returns or filings in the manner required by applicable law and (ii) take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation for any applicable Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Section 2.8    Date and Manner of Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in Article V, the initial closing of the sale and purchase of the Assets (the “Initial Closing”) shall (i) occur on the date which is the later to occur of (x) September 9, 2014 and (y) the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date on which all closing conditions have been satisfied (or waived in accordance herewith) with respect to the Minimum Closing Properties (the “Initial Closing Date”). In the event that not all Properties are Initial Closing Date Properties, the final closing of the sale and purchase of the Assets (the “Final Closing”) shall occur on the Final Closing Date. Each of the Initial Closing and the Final Closing shall occur at the offices of the Buyer’s counsel in New York City or through mutually acceptable escrow arrangements with the Escrow Agent.

Section 2.9    Withholding. The Buyer (and its affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any amounts from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement that are required to be withheld with respect to the making of any such payment

30

under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and paid over to the proper Governmental Authority by the Buyer (or its affiliates), such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

If a Tenant returns an executed Tenant Estoppel to such Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to the Buyer a copy of such executed Tenant Estoppel following such Seller’s receipt of such Tenant Estoppel.

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4(c) hereof, it shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of each individual Property that, on or before the Closing, the Sellers deliver to the Buyer Qualified Tenant Estoppel Certificates from (A) the Anchor Tenants of such Property, (B) the Major Tenants occupying at least 75% of the gross leasable area leased to all Major Tenants of such Property in the aggregate, and (C) Tenants of such Property occupying at least 75% of the gross leasable area leased to all Tenants of such Property in the aggregate.

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.4(b) to the contrary, if the Sellers are unable to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 3.4(b) with respect to any Property, then, with respect to any Qualified Tenant Estoppel Certificate that has not been delivered or which has an exception which would cause a Tenant Estoppel to fail to constitute a Qualified Tenant

40

Estoppel Certificate, the Sellers may (but, for clarity, shall have no obligation to) deliver (x) certificates executed by the Sellers in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Form Seller Estoppel”) with respect to undelivered Estoppel Certificates, or, (y) with respect to Tenant Estoppels with exceptions, an indemnity (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer) indemnifying the Buyer against any Losses suffered by the Buyer arising out of or relating to such exception ((x) and (y), collectively, the “Seller Estoppels”), each of which shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 11.3 and 11.5.

In such event (i) this Agreement shall terminate but only with respect to such Excluded Tenant Estoppel Asset, (ii) all references hereunder to such Excluded Tenant Estoppel Asset shall be deemed deleted, and such Excluded Tenant Estoppel Asset shall not be deemed a “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement (other than in respect of references to the Specified Properties and with respect to any terms and condition that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), (iii) the applicable Seller of such Excluded Tenant Estoppel Asset shall not be included in Sellers for purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price for such Excluded Tenant Estoppel Asset, and (v) neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with regard to the Excluded Tenant Estoppel Asset, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the executed Material Property Agreement Estoppels in substantially the same form delivered to Seller by Buyer (without the obligation to make any payments or grant any concessions under the Leases). If a Material Property Agreement Party returns an executed Material Property Agreement Estoppel to such Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of such executed Material Property Agreement Estoppel following such Seller’s receipt of such Material Property Agreement Estoppel.

41

(b)    It shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Assets that on or before the Closing, Sellers deliver to the Buyer estoppel certificates from the Material Property Agreement Parties with respect to the Material Property Agreements listed on Schedule 3.5(b) attached hereto in each case in substantially in the form of the Material Property Agreement Estoppel or in the same form as required under the respective Material Property Agreement to which the estoppel certificate relates and which do not allege any material defaults by Sellers or accrued and outstanding offsets or defenses under the relevant Material Property Agreement nor contain any materially adverse deviations between (x) the information specified in said Material Property Agreement Estoppel and (y) (i) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the Material Property Agreement to which such Material Property Agreement Estoppel relates (the “Material Property Agreement Estoppel Condition”). If the Sellers are unable to the Material Property Agreement Estoppel Condition with respect to any Property on or before the Final Closing Date, then, unless the Buyer elects to waive such condition, such Property and its Asset-Related Property shall be deemed an “Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset”. In such event (i) this Agreement shall terminate but only with respect to such Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset, (ii) all references hereunder to such Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset shall be deemed deleted, and such Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset shall not be deemed a “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement (other than in respect of references to the Specified Properties and with respect to any terms and condition that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), (iii) the applicable Seller of such Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset shall not be included in Sellers for purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price for such Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset, and (v) neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with regard to the Excluded Material Property Agreement Asset, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.6    Buyer’s Knowledge of Inaccuracies prior to Closing. If, at any time prior to the Closing, a Buyer Representative obtains actual knowledge that any representation or warranty of any of the Sellers contained in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 is untrue or incorrect in any material respect, such Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement (provided that such misrepresentation was not intentional and did not result from a willful act which is prohibited under this Agreement which causes such representation or warranty to become untrue) and the sole remedy of the Buyer shall be to (i) proceed to Closing, in which case the Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to any such breach of representation or warranty, or (ii) solely in the event that the Sellers fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Buyer (and if such thirty (30) day period would extend beyond the Closing Date, at their option, the Sellers may extend such Closing Date for the period required to effect such cure, but not beyond the date which is thirty (30) days from such written notice of the Buyer), and (A) if such breach of representation or warranty would have a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect, terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such cure period (“Buyer’s Termination Deadline”) or (B) if such breach of representation or warranty would not have a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect, but would have a Property Material Adverse Effect with respect to any Property, take either of the following actions by written notice the Sellers within five (5) Business Days after Buyer’s Termination Deadline: (1) elect to treat the Property with respect to which such breach of representation or warranty would have a Property Material

42

Adverse Effect as an Excluded Representation Asset and proceed to Closing with respect to the other Properties, or (2) waive its rights with respect to any such breach of representation or warranty having a Property Material Adverse Effect and proceed to Closing in accordance with this Agreement. If the Buyer proceeds to Closing, then the Buyer shall retain all of its rights with respect such breach of representation or warranty (subject in all respect to the express limitations of this Agreement, including the limitations set forth in Section 11.3 and Section 11.5), except that the Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights and remedies with respect to such breach of representation or warranty (i) if such breach of representation or warranty has a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) to the extent such breach of representation or warranty relates to any Property which the Buyer had the right to treat as an Excluded Representation Asset but did not. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall not be entitled to exercise the foregoing rights, and none of the Sellers shall have any liability following the Closing with respect such breach of representation or warranty, in the event that any of the representations of any Seller under Section 3.2 have become untrue by reason of changed facts or circumstances which constitute Permitted Representation Changes (provided that any such liability of any Seller following the Closing shall be determined as if the definition of “Permitted Representation Changes” did not include the proviso set forth at the end of clause (xi) thereof if Sellers provided Buyer prior to Closing with copies of any such notice of Environmental Claim, Environmental Liability or violations of Environmental Laws). If the Buyer is entitled to deliver a notice electing (i) to terminate this Agreement in connection with a breach of representation or warranty that would have a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) to treat the Property affected by a breach of representation or warranty as a Excluded Representation Asset, but fails to deliver the required notice to the Sellers on or before the Buyer’s Termination Deadline, then the Buyer shall conclusively be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing with respect to all of the Properties in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 3.7    Cooperating with Financing. Each of the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s arrangement of financing (which shall include mortgage financing, subordinate financing, and equity investments) with respect to the Properties (provided that such cooperation does not interfere in any material respect with the ongoing operations of the Sellers or the rights of any Tenants of the Properties under their respective Space Leases), including without limitation, by (a) delivering such financial and statistical information relating to the applicable Properties as may be reasonably requested in connection with such financing, subject in each case, to such confidentiality agreements as a Seller may reasonably require, (b) providing access to diligence materials, personnel and the applicable Properties during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior request to allow sources of financing and their representatives to complete all reasonable and customary diligence, subject in each case, to such confidentiality agreements as a Seller may reasonably require, (c) requesting estoppels, attornment agreements and certificates from Tenants and Material Property Agreement Parties in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to any potential lender, and (d) permitting the Buyer and its representatives to conduct appraisals and environmental engineering inspections of each Property during normal business hours or such other times as may be reasonably approved by Seller (provided, however, that (A) neither the Buyer nor its representatives shall have the right to take and analyze any samples of any environmental media (including soil, groundwater, surface water, air or sediment) or any building material or to perform any invasive testing procedure on any such Property, (B) the Buyer shall schedule and coordinate all inspections with the applicable Seller and shall give the

43

applicable Seller at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof, setting forth the inspection or materials that the Buyer or its agents intend to conduct, and (C) such Seller shall be entitled to have representatives present at all times during any such inspection). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7, in no event shall the Sellers be obligated to deliver any information, provide any access or permit any inspection pursuant to this Section 3.7 which the Sellers are not obligated to deliver, provide or permit to or for the benefit of the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement other than this Section 3.7. The foregoing cooperation by the Sellers shall be at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense (provided that the Buyer shall not be required to reimburse the Seller for any in-house costs incurred by the Seller in the performance of its obligations), and the Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for any reasonable out-of-pocket, third party costs incurred in performing their obligations under this Section 3.7.

Section 3.8    Waterside Property. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Waterside ARCP Member shall exercise the Waterside Sale Right. If in response to such exercise the Waterside JV Member exercises the Waterside JV Option in accordance with the terms of the Waterside JV Agreement, the Waterside Property shall upon the closing of the sale under the Waterside JV Option immediately become an Excluded ROFR Asset. If in response to such exercise the Waterside JV Member does not exercise the Waterside JV Option in accordance with the terms of the Waterside JV Agreement, (i) the Waterside ARCP Member shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Waterside Seller to become a party to this Agreement as a “Seller” in accordance with (but subject to) its rights under the Waterside JV Agreement (and the Buyer hereby consents to the Waterside Seller becoming a party to this Agreement) pursuant to an instrument reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Buyer and (ii) following the Waterside Seller becoming a party to this Agreement, the Buyer will be obligated to acquire the Waterside Property upon the terms, and subject to the conditions of, this Agreement.

Section 7.2    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, member, officer or director 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 Assets or any other matter affecting or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth herein, no Seller makes any representations or warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied or arising by operation of

In purchasing the Assets and taking other action hereunder, the Buyer has not and shall not rely on any such disclosures, but rather, the Buyer shall rely only on the Buyer’s own inspection of the Assets.

ARTICLE VIII
TITLE AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS

Section 8.1    Permitted Exceptions. Each Property shall be sold and is to be conveyed, and the Buyer agrees to purchase such Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions with respect to such Property.

Section 8.2    Title Report. The Buyer has ordered an updated title commitment with respect to each Property (each, a “Title Commitment”) and has ordered (or will order) an updated survey with respect to each of the Properties set forth on Schedule 8.2 (each, a “Survey”), and the Buyer shall (a) instruct the Title Company and surveyor delivering such Title Commitments and Surveys, respectively, to furnish copies of all Title Commitments and Surveys, and any updates to any Title Commitment or Survey (each, an “Update”) to the Sellers at the address set forth in Section 14.9 hereof (or any other address or form of delivery specified by Sellers or their counsel, including electronic mail) and (b) within the later of (x) ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date and (y) five (5) Business Days of the Buyer’s receipt of any Title Commitment, Survey or Update (each, an “Objection Date”), give notice to the relevant Seller specifying all title exceptions set forth in such Title Commitment, Survey or Update which the Buyer claims are not Permitted Exceptions (an “Objection Notice”). If the Buyer fails to send an Objection Notice to the relevant Seller objecting to any title exception or other matter first disclosed in a Title Commitment, Survey or Update on or prior to the applicable Objection Date, such title exception or other matter shall be deemed approved by the Buyer and constitute a Permitted Exception

Section 8.3    Use of Balance of the Purchase Price to Discharge Title Exceptions. If, at the Closing, there are any title exceptions applicable to a Property which are not Permitted Exceptions and which the Sellers are obligated by this Agreement or elect to pay and discharge, then the Sellers may use any portion of the Balance of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided that the Sellers shall have delivered to the Title Company 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 funds or other evidence the Title Company shall deem necessary for the Title Company to remove such title exception from the Title Policy. The existence of any such title exceptions shall not be deemed objections to title if the Sellers shall comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence (a “Cure”). Any unpaid liens for taxes, water charges and assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall not be objections to title, but the amount thereof plus any interest and penalties thereon shall be deducted from the Balance of the Purchase Price payable at Closing, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes, water charges and assessments contained in Article X of this Agreement.

Section 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

58

therefor, nor shall the Buyer have any right of action against the Sellers, at law or in equity, for the Seller’s inability to convey title to the Properties subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

Section 8.5    Rights in Respect of Inability to Convey. In the event that the Buyer timely delivers an Objection Notice to the Sellers in accordance with Section 8.2, the Sellers may, at the Sellers’ sole election, but shall not be obligated to, either (a) take such action as the Sellers shall deem advisable to Cure any such title exception specified in the Objection Notice which is not a Permitted Exception (each such exception, a “Title Objection”) or (b) decline to take any action to Cure any such Title Objection. The Sellers shall, within ten (10) 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. If the Sellers shall fail to respond to any Objection Notice within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Objection Notice, then the Sellers shall be deemed to have declined to take any action to attempt to Cure such Title Objections. In the event (I) the Sellers shall decline to take action (or shall be deemed to have declined to take action) to Cure such Title Objections, or (II) the Sellers elect to but fail to Cure each Title Objection, the Buyer shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.10 hereof. In the event the Sellers shall elect to take action to attempt to Cure any Title Objection, the Sellers shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing Date for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (inclusive of any adjournments made by the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof), and the Closing shall be adjourned to a Business Day specified by the Sellers not beyond such sixty (60) day period. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Sellers shall not have succeeded in Curing each such title exception at the expiration of such adjournment(s) and if the Buyer shall not, prior to the expiration of the last of such adjournments, give notice to the Sellers that the Buyer is willing to waive objection to each such title exception and to close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price, credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against the Sellers for damages or otherwise, then Buyer shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.10 hereof. The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall be subject to the Sellers’ and the Buyer’s rights and obligations with respect to Required Removal Exceptions as set forth in Section 8.6.

Section 8.6    Required Removal Exceptions. If, from time to time prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall become aware of any Required Removal Exceptions, then the Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event, within the time period allowed for delivery of an Objection Notice pursuant to Section 8.2 if Buyer becomes aware of any such Required Removal Exceptions by disclosure thereof in a Title Commitment, Survey or Update) notify the Sellers thereof, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Required Removal Exceptions and the Property or Properties at issue. The Sellers shall be obligated to Cure all Required Removal Exceptions on or prior to Closing; provided, however, that (i) the maximum amount which the Sellers shall be required to expend in the aggregate in connection with the Cure of Monetary Title Exceptions (which are not Voluntary Title Exceptions) shall be $5,000,000 (the “Aggregate Monetary Title Exception Limit”), and (ii) the maximum amount which the Sellers shall be required to expend in the aggregate in connection with the Cure of Monetary Title Exceptions (which are not Voluntary Title Exceptions) affecting any specific Property shall be equal to two and one half percent (2.5%) of the Allocated Purchase Price of such Property (each, a “Property Monetary Title Exception Limit”). The Sellers shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing Date not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate (inclusive of any adjournments made by the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof) and to a date no later than the Final Closing Date to discharge all Required Removal Exceptions. In the event the Buyer notifies the Sellers

59

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 the Aggregate Monetary Title Exception Limit or an applicable Property Monetary Title Exception Limit to Cure, then the Sellers shall not be required to cause such Monetary Title Exception(s) to be Cured and the Buyer may elect either to (i) accept title to the Properties subject to such Monetary Title Exception(s) at Closing in accordance with Section 8.7 and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an aggregate amount equal to the Property Monetary Title Exception Limit applicable to the Properties affected by such Monetary Title Exception(s) (less any amounts actually expended by the Sellers to cure any Title Objections (which are not Voluntary Title Exceptions) relating to such Properties), or (ii) terminate this Agreement as to the Property or Properties affected by the Monetary Title Exception(s) in accordance with Section 8.10(b) hereof.

Section 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 (as it may have been adjourned by the Sellers pursuant to this Article VIII), 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 Closing but, the Buyer shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price, 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.

Section 8.8    Cooperation. The Sellers shall cooperate in commercially reasonable respects with the Buyer and the Title Company in connection with the Buyer’s efforts to obtain a Title Policy insuring title to each Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, if any. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at or prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to the Title Company such affidavits, certificates and other instruments as are reasonably requested by the Title Company and customarily furnished by the transferee in connection with the issuance of owner’s policies of title insurance, including, without limitation, evidence sufficient to establish (x) the legal existence of the Buyer and any Buyer Affiliate Designee and (y) the authority of the respective signatories of the Buyer and any Buyer Affiliate Designee to bind the Buyer and any Buyer Affiliate Designee, as the case may be, and the Sellers shall deliver to the Title Company (i) such affidavits, certificates and other instruments as are reasonably requested by the Title Company to establish (x) the legal existence of the Sellers, (y) the authority of the respective signatories of the Sellers to bind the Sellers, including, if required by the Title Company, a certificate of good standing of each Seller issued by the states in which the Property being transferred by such Seller is located and (z) the waiver (or expiration without exercise) of any applicable Space Lease Options or Exisiting Options, and (ii) an affidavit of the relevant Sellers in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K (each, an “Owner’s Affidavit”).

Section 8.9    Rights of First Refusal.

(a) The Buyer acknowledges that the sale of certain of the Properties under this Agreement are subject to the rights of first refusal or first offer set forth on Schedule 8.9-1 (together with any other right of first refusal or first offer with respect to the sale of the Properties under this Agreement set forth in a Space Lease in effect on the Effective Date, the “Existing Options”). The Sellers shall provide the Buyer a draft of each notice to be provided to

60

a third-party pursuant to an Existing Option within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer (an “Approved Option Notice”) and which shall, in any event, offer to sell the applicable Property at the applicable Allocated Purchase Price. Promptly following the approval by the Buyer of the Approved Option Notice, the applicable Seller shall deliver the Approved Option Notice required pursuant to the Existing Options and shall provide a copy thereof to the Buyer. Should any party to the Existing Options (an “Optionee”) thereunder exercise its right to purchase the applicable Property (or, in the case of the Waterside Property, the Waterside JV Member exercises its right to acquire the interest of the Waterside ARCP Member in the Waterside Seller following the exercise of the Waterside Sale Right (the “Waterside JV Option”) (such affected Property, including the Waterside Property if the Waterside JV Option is exercised, being referred to herein as an “Excluded ROFR Asset”), (a) the applicable Seller shall notify the Buyer of the same, (b) this Agreement will terminate but only with respect to such Excluded ROFR Asset and such Excluded ROFR Asset shall not be deemed a “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement (other than with respect to any terms and condition that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), (c) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded ROFR Asset, and (d) neither such Seller nor the Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with regard to the Excluded ROFR Asset, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. In the event that any Optionee elects pursuant to an Existing Option to purchase an Excluded ROFR Asset that is an part of a pool of Assumed Loan Properties securing an Assumed Loan, the sale of such Assumed Loan Properties pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjourned (but not beyond the Final Closing Date) until the consummation of the transfer of such Excluded ROFR Asset to the Optionee (or the Optionee’s failure to acquire such Excluded ROFR Asset in accordance with its Existing Option) and Sellers shall (i) cause the Excluded ROFR Asset to be released from the Assumed Loan at the Closing of the transfer to such Excluded ROFR Asset to Optionee and (ii) pay all costs in connection therewith, including all amounts payable to the holder of such Assumed Loan.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, the Existing Options with respect to the Properties identified on Schedule A as (x) Indian Lakes Crossing, (y) Peninsula Crossing and (z) Valley Bend (the “Partial Option Properties”) affect only a portion of each of such Properties (such portion, the “Option Pads”). Therefore with respect to the Existing Options affecting the Partial Option Properties (the “Partial Options”), the Approved Option Notice shall offer to sell only the Option Pads and the price offered to the Optionees for the Option Pads shall be as set forth on Schedule 8.9-2 (the “Option Pad Prices”). Should any Optionee holding a Partial Options exercise its right to purchase the applicable Option Pad, (a) the applicable Seller shall notify the Buyer of the same, (b) this Agreement will terminate but only with respect to such Option Pad and the balance of such Partial Option Property shall be conveyed to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at Closing, (c) the Allocated Purchase Price for such affected Partial Option Property shall be reduced by the applicable Option Pad Price. The applicable Seller shall (i) be responsible for causing any Option Pad to be released from any Assumed Loan encumbering a Partial Option Property at the Closing of the transfer of such Option Pad to the relevant Optionee and (ii) pay all costs in connection therewith, including all amounts payable to the holder of such Assumed Loan. To the extent the release of an Option Pad cannot be effectuated by the applicable Seller by the Final Closing Date, the Closing on the applicable Partial Option Property and each other Property that is also subject to such Assumed Loan shall be adjourned (but not beyond sixty (60) days past the Outside Closing Date) until the

61

applicable Seller has caused such release; provided, however, for avoidance of doubt nothing in this Section 8.9(b) shall be deemed to delay Final Closing with respect to all other Properties that were not acquired at the Initial Closing and are not Excluded Assets.

Section 8.10    Uncured Title Objections. In the event a Title Objection (for clarity, which is not deemed to be a Permitted Exception) or Required Removal Exception remains uncured with respect to one or more Properties in accordance with the terms of Section 8.5 or Section 8.6 hereof (an “Uncured Title Objection”), Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion to:

(a)    accept title in accordance with Section 8.7; or

(b)    terminate this Agreement as to the Property affected by the Uncured Title Objection (an “Excluded Title Asset”) and consummate the Closing as to the other Properties, in which case (A) such Excluded Title Asset shall not be deemed a “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement (other than in respect of references to the Specified Properties and with respect to any terms and condition that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), (B) the applicable Seller of such Excluded Title Asset shall not be included in the Sellers for purposes of this Agreement, (C) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded Title Asset and (D) neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with regard to the such Excluded Title Asset, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
TRANSACTION COSTS; RISK OF LOSS

Section 9.1    Transaction Costs. The Buyer and the Sellers agree to comply with all real estate transfer tax laws applicable to the sale of the Assets. In addition to their respective apportionment obligations hereunder, (a) the Sellers and the Buyer shall each be responsible for (i) the payment of the costs of their respective legal counsel, advisors and other professionals employed thereby in connection with the sale of the Assets, any Loan Assumption, any Failed Loan Defeasance and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) one-half of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, (iii) one-half of all real property transfer taxes, deed stamps, conveyance taxes, documentary stamp taxes and other taxes or charges (“Transfer Taxes”) payable as a result of the conveyance of the Assets to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (iv) one-half of all title reports or abstracts with respect to the Properties commissioned by the Buyer, and (v) one-half of the policy premiums in respect of (1) any Title Policy and (2) any mortgage title insurance required in connection with an Assumed Loan affecting an Assumed Loan Property acquired by the Buyer or Buyer Affiliate Designee; (b) the Seller shall be responsible for all Loan Assumption Costs up to $3,000,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Seller Loan Cost Cap”), and (c) the Buyer shall be responsible for (i) all costs and expenses associated with the Buyer’s due diligence and all survey and search costs and updates with respect to the Properties commissioned by the Buyer, (ii) all Loan Assumption Costs in excess of the Seller Loan Cost Cap, and (iii) all Failed Loan Defeasance Costs incurred pursuant to Section 2.3(d). 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

62

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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Sellers shall be responsible for all costs, fees and expenses relating to matters occurring prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Assumed Loans (including as a result of Sellers’ proposed “Spinco Transaction”). The obligations of Sellers and Buyer under this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

Section 9.2    Risk of Loss.

(a)    If, on or before the Closing Date, any Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (ii) taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, then the Sellers shall promptly notify the Buyer thereof in writing. At the Closing of such Property, the Sellers will credit against the Balance of the Purchase Price 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 (less such Seller’s reasonable costs to secure the affected Property and less repair and restoration costs incurred by Seller to the extent that such repair and restoration costs were approved by the Buyer), and (y) the applicable deductible, if any, with respect to such casualty. If, as of the Closing Date, the Sellers have not received the full amount of any insurance or condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate on the Closing Date the conveyance of the Assets (without any deduction for such insurance or condemnation proceeds) and the Sellers will at 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.

(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, if, on or before the Closing Date, any Property or any portion thereof shall be subject to a Material Casualty/Condemnation Removal Event, then the Sellers shall promptly notify the Buyer thereof in writing and the Buyer may elect, by written notice delivered to the Sellers within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Buyer’s receipt of notice of such occurrence (and in the event that the Buyer receives such written notice of such Material Casualty/Condemnation Removal Event on or after the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date, the applicable Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide Buyer at least fifteen (15) Business Days to make such election), in its sole discretion, to either

(i)    terminate this Agreement as to the Property affected by the Material Casualty/Condemnation Removal Event (an “Excluded Casualty Asset”) and consummate the Closing as to the other Properties, in which case (A) all references hereunder to such Excluded Casualty Asset shall be deemed deleted, and such Excluded Casualty Asset shall not be deemed a “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement (other than in respect of references to the Specified Properties and with respect to any terms and condition that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), (B) the applicable Seller of such Excluded Casualty Asset shall not be included in Sellers for purposes of this Agreement, (C) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded Casualty Asset, and (D) neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall have any liability hereunder with regard to the such Excluded Casualty Asset,

63

except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement; or

(ii)    consummate the Closing as to such affected Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X
ADJUSTMENTS

Unless otherwise provided below, the following are to be adjusted and prorated between the Sellers and the Buyer as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing, based upon a 365 day year, and the net amount thereof under Section 10.1 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 Purchase Price at Closing:

Section 10.1    Fixed Rents, Additional Rents and CAM Charges.

(a)    Fixed rents (“Fixed Rents”) and Additional Rents (as hereinafter defined; Fixed Rents and Additional Rents collectively referred to herein as “Rents”) paid or payable by the Tenants in connection with their occupancy of the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing on a per diem “if, as and when collected” basis. The Buyer shall receive a credit for all Rents, if any, paid by the Tenants prior to the Closing and allocable to periods following the Closing and the Sellers shall retain all Rents, if any, paid by the Tenants prior to the Closing and allocable to periods preceding the Closing. 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, (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; provided that if any such Tenant shall expressly designate that such Rents be otherwise applied, then such designation shall control. Such Rent, less any reasonable costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party who receives such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party the portion thereof to which it is entitled. For the purposes of this provision, the term “Additional Rent” shall mean amounts payable under any Space 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”) and (ii) so called “common area maintenance” or “CAM” charges (“Tenant CAM Charges”) or additional rent based upon such tenant’s allocable share of insurance and real estate taxes. To the extent real estate taxes at any Property are paid one or more years in arrears, the applicable Additional Rent adjustment for a Tenant's reimbursement of such real estate taxes shall be based on the tax year for which such Tenant is paying Additional Rent pursuant to its Space Lease.

(b)    The Buyer shall 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. The Sellers shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Buyer, to pursue Tenants to collect such delinquencies, including the right to institute litigation to collect such amounts without the prior written consent of the Buyer, provided that any such litigation is

64

commenced within six (6) months of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Seller have the right to terminate or attempt to terminate any Space Lease or evict or attempt to evict any Tenant. The Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Sellers in connection with such collection (at no cost or expense to the Buyer).

(c)    Tenant CAM Charges and all expenses and charges payable by or to the applicable Seller under or in connection with any Material Property Agreement affecting the Property (such charges together with Tenant CAM Charges, collectively “CAM Charges”) shall be prorated. The applicable Seller shall be responsible for all common area expenses and charges incurred prior to Closing, and the Buyer shall be responsible for the same subsequent to Closing (but only to the extent incurred under the Assumed Contracts or provided for in the Permitted Exceptions).

(d)    To the extent that any portion of Additional Rent or CAM Charges is required to be paid monthly by Tenants or the other parties to any Material Property Agreement (“Material Property Agreement Parties”) on account of estimated amounts for any calendar year (or, if applicable, any lease year or any other applicable accounting period), and at the end of such calendar year (or lease year, tax year or other applicable accounting period, as the case may be), such estimated amounts are to be recalculated based upon the actual expenses and other relevant factors for that calendar (or lease) year or other applicable accounting period, with the appropriate adjustments being made with such Tenants or Material Property Agreement Parties, then such portion of the Additional Rent or CAM Charges shall be prorated between the Sellers and the Buyer at the Closing based on such estimated payments actually paid by Tenants or Material Property Agreement Parties to the Sellers prior to the Closing (i.e., with the Sellers entitled to retain all such amounts which are allocable to periods prior to the Closing, and the Buyer entitled to receive at the Closing all such amounts theretofore received by the Sellers which are allocable to periods following the Closing). At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) each Tenant or Material Property Agreement Party of the amounts in reconciliation of actual Additional Rent or CAM Charges for a period for which estimated amounts paid by such Tenant or Material Property Agreement Party have been prorated, there shall be a re-proration between the Sellers and the Buyer as of the Closing Date based on the net payments actually paid and retained. The Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer within forty-five (45) days following the Initial Closing Date and thirty (30) days following the Final Closing Date such information in its possession including CAM reconciliation backup, invoices and other supporting documentation (including such backup and files received from prior owners) as may be necessary to complete the reconciliations for CAM Charges and Additional Rent with respect to 2014 and all other periods prior to the Closing. The Buyer shall provide the 2014 reconciliations for CAM Charges and Additional Rent to the Sellers for review and reasonable approval no later than the earlier of (i) March 31, 2015 and (ii) thirty (30) days prior to the date that the 2014 reconciliations are required to be delivered to the applicable Tenant pursuant to its Space Lease, and the Sellers shall approve or provide line item comments thereto. The Buyer and Seller shall each approve or provide line-item comments to the 2014 reconciliations for CAM Charges and Additional Rent (or comments thereto) received from the other party within five (5) Business Days of receipt. Buyer shall provide to the Tenants and Material Property Agreement Parties, as applicable, the 2014 reconciliations for CAM Charges and Additional Rent approved by the Sellers no later than thirty (30) days after the earlier of the dates described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the second preceding sentence. The parties’ rights and obligations set forth

65

in Section 10.1(b) with respect to the collection of delinquent Rents shall also apply to the collection of delinquent CAM Charges.

Section 10.2    Taxes and Assessments.(a)    Real estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes and assessments assessed shall be adjusted and prorated on a cash basis based on (a) the periods of ownership of the applicable Property by the Sellers and the Buyer, and (b) the most current official real property tax information available from the county assessor’s office where the applicable Property is located or other assessing authorities. If real property tax and assessment figures for the taxes or assessments to be apportioned between the Buyer and the Sellers pursuant to this Section 10.2 are not available, real property taxes shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment, subject to further and final adjustment when the tax rate and/or assessed valuation for such taxes and assessments for the applicable Property is fixed. In the event that a Property or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, whether or not the same become payable in annual installments, the Sellers shall, at the Closing, be responsible for any installments due prior to the Closing and the Buyer shall be responsible for any installments due on or after the Closing.

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(a), with respect to Tenants that, pursuant to the terms of their Space Leases, (i) are obligated to pay real estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes and assessments directly to the taxing authorities, or (ii) make Additional Rent Payment in respect of real estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes and assessments upon payment by the landlord of such amounts, no adjustment between the Buyer and the Sellers shall be made on account of such portion of the real estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes and assessments so payable.

(c)    All other Taxes other than those Taxes being adjusted under subsection (a) above or not required to be adjusted under subsection (b) above (“Other Taxes”) due in connection with the ownership and operation of the Assets and relating to any period prior to Closing shall be the responsibility of the applicable Seller, and all Other Taxes due in connection with the ownership and operation of the Assets and relating to any period following the Closing shall be the responsibility of the Buyer. In the event that either party becomes liable for any such Other Taxes relating to the other party’s period of ownership, such party shall be entitled to a credit for such Other Taxes relating to the other party’s period of ownership in connection with any re-adjustment of the matters set forth in this Article 10 following the Closing. The parties shall cooperate in the preparation of any final Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to such Other Taxes.

Section 10.3    Utility Charges. Gas, water, sewer, steam, electricity and other public utility charges (other than any such charges which are payable by Tenants pursuant to such Tenants’ Space Leases, for which no adjustment will be made) will be paid by the Sellers to the utility company through the Closing Date. The Sellers shall arrange for a final reading of all utility meters (covering gas, water, sewer, steam and electricity) as of the Closing, except meters the charges of which are payable by Tenants pursuant to such Tenants’ Space Leases. 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 such date. If a bill is obtained from any such utility company as of the Closing, the Sellers shall pay such bill on or before the Closing. If such bill shall not have been

66

obtained on or before the Closing, the Sellers shall, upon receipt of such bill, pay all such utility charges as evidenced by such bill 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 bill 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. If any deposit on account with any utility company servicing a Property is transferred to the Buyer, such deposit will not be apportioned, but the Sellers shall receive a credit in the full amount thereof (including accrued interest thereon, if any).

Section 10.4    Contracts. Charges and payments under all Assumed Contracts.

Section 10.5    Miscellaneous Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, parking, or other income producing agreements.

Section 10.6    Security Deposits. The unapplied portion of any cash security deposits provided under the Space Leases which are held by the Sellers as of the Closing Date shall not be apportioned, but the Buyer shall receive a credit at the Closing against the Purchase Price equal to the amount thereof. For clarity, the Seller’s interests in security deposits held under the Space Leases in forms other than cash shall be transferred to the Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(viii).

Section 10.7    Leasing Costs. Leasing Costs shall not be apportioned as of the Closing Date. The Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs relating to Space Leases or renewals, amendments, expansions and extensions of Space Leases entered into or which first become binding prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the Leasing Costs set forth on Schedule 10.7(i) (the “Sellers’ Leasing Costs”). The Buyer shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs other than the Sellers’ Leasing Costs (the “Buyer’s Leasing Costs”), and shall assume the economic effect of any “free rent” or other concessions pertaining to the period from and after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.7 to the contrary, the Buyer shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs relating to renewals, amendments, expansions and extensions of Space Leases, in each case to the extent such Leasing Costs relate to renewal, expansion or extension rights of Tenants under such Space Leases that are exercised after the Effective Date, or amendments that are entered into after the Effective Date (regardless of when the original Space Lease was executed). To the extent any Sellers’ Leasing Costs have not been fully paid as of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall receive a credit at the Closing against the Purchase Price in the amount of the balance of the Sellers’ Leasing Costs remaining to be paid and the Buyer shall assume all obligations of the Seller to pay the balance of the Sellers’ Leasing Costs as to which the Buyer shall have received such credit and to perform the obligations associated with the same. The obligations of the Buyer and the Sellers under this Section 10.7 shall survive the Closing.

Section 10.8    Other. If applicable, the Sellers and the Buyer shall apportion as of the Closing Date (i) any other item which, under the explicit terms of this Agreement, is to be apportioned at Closing, and (ii) other items customarily apportioned in connection with the sale of similar properties in the jurisdiction of the applicable Property.

Section 10.9    Assumed Loans. The Sellers and the Buyer shall apportion as of the Closing Date any interest paid or due with respect to any period that includes the Closing.

67

The Sellers shall assign to Buyer at the Closing and receive a credit from the Buyer for the Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to any cash reserves or escrow accounts held by Assumed Loan Lender Parties in connection with the Assumed Loans which are confirmed in writing by the Assumed Loan Lender Parties and not returned to the Sellers on the Closing Date.

Section 10.10    Net Cash Flow Credit. At the applicable Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Net Cash Flow Credit.

Section 10.11    Re-Adjustment. If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this Article X are not determinable at the Closing, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing when the charge is determined. Any errors or omissions in computing adjustments or readjustments at the Closing or thereafter shall be promptly corrected, and any corrective payments shall be promptly made, provided that the party seeking to correct such error or omission or to make such readjustment shall have notified the other party of such error or omission or readjustment on or prior to December 31, 2015.

Section 10.12    Survival. The provisions of this Article X and the obligations of the Sellers and the Buyer hereunder shall survive the Closing until December 31, 2015 (or the later settlement of any readjustment pursuant to a written notice of a discrepancy under this Article X which is delivered by the party alleging such discrepancy on or before December 31, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent that a Tenant requests a reimbursement of Tenant CAM Charges (either before or after the Closing) allocable to a period prior to the Closing, the obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Agreement with respect to such Tenant CAM Charge reimbursements shall survive for so long as the obligation survives for landlord pursuant to the applicable Space Lease and (ii) the parties obligations under Section 10.2(c) shall survive the Closing for a period of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.1    Indemnification by the Sellers. Following the Closing and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, Section 11.3 and Section 11.5, each Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold 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”) harmless from and against any and all costs, fees, expenses, damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party in connection with any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”), arising out of or relating to, (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of such Seller contained in this Agreement, as updated by the Seller Update Certificate, or in any Closing Document, including, without limitation, any Seller Estoppel (a “Rep/Warranty Breach”), and (ii) any breach of any covenant of such Seller contained in this Agreement which survives the Closing or in any Closing Document (a “Covenant Breach”; together with any Rep/Warranty Breach, a “Surviving Breach”).

68

Section 11.2    Indemnification by the Buyer. Following the Closing and subject to Section 11.3, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Sellers, their affiliates, members and partners, and the partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller-Related Entities”) harmless from any and all Losses arising out of, or in any way relating to, (i) any breach of any representation or warranty by the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document, (ii) any breach of any covenant of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, which survives the Closing or in any Closing Document, or (iii) the operation of such Seller’s Property after the Closing Date.

Section 11.3    Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days after the Closing (and thereafter if a written notice of a claim hereunder is delivered by the party alleging such claim on or before the end of such two hundred seventy (270) day period), and the covenants contained in this Agreement and Closing Document which are expressly stated to survive the Closing shall survive indefinitely, unless a longer or shorter survival period is expressly provided for in this Agreement or such other Closing Document (as applicable, the “Survival Period”). If the Buyer fails to deliver a written notice of claim to the Sellers asserting a Surviving Breach prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, such failure shall be deemed a waiver of the Buyer’s right to assert such claim. The indemnity provisions of this Agreement and any Closing Document shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

Section 11.4    Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred with respect to an Asset, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement or any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under this Article XI.

Section 11.5    Limitations.

(a)    The Sellers’ aggregate liability for its indemnification obligations with respect to Surviving Breaches (other than for liability under Seller Estoppels and liability for Covenant Breaches under Article X, Section 9.1 and Section 14.3) shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate Allocated Purchase Prices of the Properties acquired by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (the “Sellers’ Maximum Liability”), and no claim by the Buyer may be made and the Sellers shall not be liable for any Losses with respect to Surviving Breaches (other than for liability under Seller Estoppels and liability for Covenant Breaches under Article X, Section 9.1 and Section 14.3) unless and until the Buyer’s claims for such Losses are for an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000 (the “Liability Basket”), in which event the Sellers’ liability respecting any Losses shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the Sellers’ Maximum Liability.

(b)    The Buyer’s liability for its indemnification obligations under this Article XI shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate Allocated Purchase Prices of the Properties acquired by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (the “Buyer’s Maximum Liability”), and no claim by the Sellers may be made and the Buyer shall not be liable for any Losses unless and until the Buyer’s claims for such Losses are for an aggregate amount in excess of Liability Basket, in which event the Buyer’s liability respecting any Losses shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the Buyer’s Maximum Liability. The Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that

69

it shall remain in existence and reserve adequate capital to satisfy its obligations under Article XI during the Survival Period.

ARTICLE XII
TAX CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS

Section 12.1    Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Property, (i) relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs or (ii) relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then for six (6) months following the applicable Closing Date 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, conditioned or delayed. The Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with such Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings. From and after the date that is six (6) months following the applicable Closing Date the Buyer shall have the sole right to continue and prosecute and settle any tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Property.

Section 12.2    Application of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to taxes payable during the period prior to the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of the Sellers, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to taxes payable from and after the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of the Buyer; provided, however, that if any refund received by any of the Sellers pursuant to this Section 12.2 creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Space 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 Space Lease to such Tenant) shall either (a) be paid to the Buyer and the Buyer shall disburse the same to such Tenants or (b) be paid by the Sellers directly to the Tenants entitled thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings 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.

ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT

Section 13.1    Buyer Default.

(a)    This Agreement may be terminated by the Sellers upon notice to Buyer (a “Seller Termination Notice”) if (i) there is a material breach or default by Buyer in the performance of its obligation to consummate the purchase the Assets in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) the Buyer breaches its Assumption/Defeasance Obligations in any material respect and such breach described in this clause (ii) has not been cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof from the Sellers (provided that if such thirty (30) day period would extend beyond the Closing Date, at its option, the Buyer may extend such Closing Date for the period required to effect such cure, but not beyond the earlier of (x) the date which is thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ written notice, and (y) the Outside Closing Date); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.1(a) shall not be available to the Sellers if any Seller has breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately caused the occurrence of such material breach by the Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement; and provided,further, any termination by Seller under Section 13.1(a)(ii) shall not be effective if within five (5) days of receipt of such Seller Termination Notice, Buyer agrees in writing that it shall be deemed to have made a Failed Loan Defeasance Election with respect to each Assumed Loan (i) for which a Loan Assumption Consent has not already been obtained, and (ii) with respect to which the Buyer had not previously made a Failed Loan Defeasance Election.

(b)    In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Sellers pursuant to Section 13.1(a), the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Cash Deposit then held by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers, and upon payment of the Cash Deposit to Sellers, 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 CASH DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION THEREOF. ACCORDINGLY, THE CASH DEPOSIT 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. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLERS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLERS HAVE THE RIGHT OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE FOR ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.2    Seller Default.

(a)    This Agreement may be terminated by the Buyer if there is a material breach or default by the Sellers in the performance of their obligations to consummate the sale of the

71

Section 14.9    Additional/Adjacent Land. If there are any parcels of vacant or undeveloped land that are adjacent, contiguous or within a reasonable minor distance of any Property that is either currently being utilized by a Tenant pursuant to a right in an existing Space Lease and owned by Seller or any affiliate of Seller (such parcels, the “Additional/Adjacent Land”) and such Additional/Adjacent Land is not conveyed to the Buyer at Closing, then Sellers shall convey such Additional/Adjacent Land to the Buyer within a reasonable time after the Buyer’s request for the same.
