4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

4.1 Liberty’s Representations and Warranties. Liberty represents and warrants to NYSCRF (and to the Company, as of the Closing Date) as follows (which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing):

(a) Entities.

A true and correct copy of the Operating Agreement of each Entity has been delivered to NYSCRF.

(iii) On the Closing Date, Liberty will be the only beneficial and legal owner of the Contributed Interests, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, assignments, claims, options, encumbrances, charges, commitments, and equitable interests or rights of others, of any kind whatsoever, other than the Assumed Financing and the Merger Loan.

(b) Property.

(i) Title. Each Entity or its subsidiary that is the fee owner of the Parcel in question, holds or will hold as of Closing, a title insurance policy insuring fee simple ownership of the Land and the Improvements for its respective Parcel. To Liberty’s knowledge, the Entities do not own or lease any personal property in connection with the Land and Improvements.

(ii) Litigation. There is no pending nor, to Liberty’s knowledge, threatened litigation or administrative proceedings that, if resolved adversely to Liberty or any Entity would adversely affect title to the Property or any part thereof or the ability of Liberty to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the use of the Property by the Company as it is presently being used or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Property, except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b)(ii) (the “Existing Litigation”).

(iii) Notice of Liens. Liberty has not received written notice of the intention of any governmental authority to file or impose any liens (other than statutory liens for real estate taxes not yet due and payable) or special assessments against any of the Property, nor, to Liberty’s knowledge, do there currently exist any facts or circumstances that would allow any governmental authority the right to file or impose such liens or assessments.

(iv) Schedule of Leases; Rent Roll; Tenant Leases. To Liberty’s knowledge, the Schedule of Lease Documents (the “Schedule of Leases”) provided to NYSCRF pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof is a complete and correct list of all Tenant Leases and amendments thereto in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(v) Encumbrances on Tenant Leases. To Liberty’s knowledge, subject to the Assumed Financing, none of the Tenant Leases and none of the rents or other amounts payable thereunder has been assigned, pledged or encumbered by Liberty, except for any assignment, pledge or encumbrance that Liberty will cause to be terminated or released at or prior to Closing.

(vi) Brokerage or Leasing Commissions. Except as disclosed on the Rent Roll, to Liberty’s knowledge, no brokerage or leasing commissions or other compensations are due or payable by Liberty to any person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (each a “Person”) with respect to or on account of the current term of any of the Tenant Leases. Except as disclosed in the Rent Roll or set forth in the Tenant Leases, to Liberty’s knowledge, no brokerage or leasing commissions or other compensations are due or payable by the landlord on any extension or expansion of any Tenant Lease.

(vii) Obligations to Tenants under Tenant Leases. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b)(vii) attached hereto, with respect to tenants in occupancy under Tenant Leases as of the Closing Date, to Liberty’s knowledge, there are no unperformed obligations to provide any tenant under any Tenant Lease with any painting, repair, alteration, carpeting, appliance or any other equipment or work of any kind, under any Tenant Lease or under any other oral or written agreement whatsoever that would excuse such tenant from accepting its Premises under the terms of its lease, except for obligations (i) that will be performed and paid for by Liberty before the Closing or (ii) to complete any portion of the Premises covered by the Tenant Lease not yet occupied by the tenant thereunder and not required to be completed under the terms of the Tenant Lease as of the Closing Date or pursuant to renewal rights under Tenant Leases.

(viii) Enforceability of Tenant Leases. To Liberty’s knowledge, each of the Tenant Leases is valid and subsisting and in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, provisions and conditions and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the tenant thereunder, subject to laws applicable generally to creditor’s rights.

To Liberty’s knowledge, no tenant under a Tenant Lease that has been signed as of the date hereof has any pending litigation, offsets or counterclaims against Liberty that, if successfully asserted, would reduce the rent payable thereunder or result in the cancellation or termination thereof. No tenant has given any written notice to Liberty of such tenant’s intention of instituting litigation with respect to any Tenant Lease or terminating its tenancy. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.1(viii) is subject to the matters disclosed on Schedule 4.1(viii) attached hereto.

(xv) Service Contracts, Tenant Leases, etc. To Liberty’s knowledge, there are no other contracts (including collective bargaining agreements), other than the Service Contracts, the Tenant Leases and matters of public record, that materially and adversely affect the Property or the operation thereof except as provided to NYSCRF pursuant to Section 3.1.

The execution and delivery of, and Liberty’s performance under, this Agreement are within Liberty’s powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite action. The Persons executing this Agreement on behalf of Liberty have the authority to do so. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Liberty and is enforceable against Liberty in accordance with its terms, subject to laws applicable generally to creditor’s rights. Except to the extent lender approval for the assumption by the Company of the Assumed Financing is not obtained prior to Closing, performance of this Agreement will not result in any breach of, or constitute any default under, or result in the imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon the Property under, any agreement or other instrument to which Liberty is a party or by which Liberty or the Property is bound. Except as disclosed on Exhibit H hereto, no consent or approval of any Person, Entity or of any Governmental Authority is required with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Liberty or the consummation by Liberty of the transactions contemplated hereby or the performance by Liberty of its obligations hereunder.

This Section 6.4(d) shall survive Closing.

7. PRORATIONS

7.1 Initial Proration. Within [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] days after the Closing Date, the parties shall prorate the following items as of the Closing Date:

(a) Taxes. All real estate taxes with respect to the Property shall be prorated between Liberty and the Company as of the Closing Date.

(b) Rents. Rent shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, except that no proration shall be made for rents delinquent as of the Closing Date (hereinafter called the “Delinquent Rents”). The Company shall have no liability to Liberty for the Delinquent Rents and shall have no obligation to collect same, provided, however, amounts collected by the Company or the Entities from tenants owing Delinquent Rents shall be applied first to rents owed by such tenant accruing from and after the Closing Date and then to Delinquent Rents. Any such amounts applicable to Delinquent Rents received by the Company or the Entities shall be forwarded to Liberty within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof. Liberty reserves the right to pursue legal remedies against tenants owing Delinquent Rents so long as pursuit of its legal remedies does not cause the tenant to be evicted.

(c) Operating Costs. All operating expenses, including utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), maintenance and other operating costs and expenses incurred by the Entities in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property shall be prorated between Liberty and the Company as of the Closing.

(d) Insurance Premiums. Insurance premiums shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

(e) Other Income and Expenses. All other income from, and expenses of, the Property, including but not limited to public utility charges, maintenance charges and service

charges, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and the Company shall assume such expenses for periods subsequent to Closing.

(f) Federal, State and Local Taxes. To the maximum extent permissible, for Federal, State and local tax purposes the parties will cause the Entities and their subsidiaries to treat the Closing Date as the beginning of a fiscal period. Liberty will file all returns and pay all taxes owing for periods through the day preceding the Closing Date and the Company will file all returns and pay all taxes owing for periods beginning with the Closing Date. If and to the extent that such filing of separate returns is not permitted by any taxing authority, and as to any tax that applies to a period both before and after the Closing Date, the parties will cooperate in the furnishing of information necessary to the preparation and filing of returns, and will pay their respective shares of tax liability in proportion to their respective shares of the thing taxed (for example, gross receipts or net income). The obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive Closing until each such tax return has been filed, all such taxes owing have been paid and such returns and payments are no longer subject to contest by the taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for tax purposes, closing shall be deemed to occur at 11:59 p.m. (local Washington, D.C. time) on the day preceding the Closing Date.

(g) Assumed Financing. Interest, credits, costs and expenses (other than the costs and expenses described in Section 6.4(b)(iii), which shall be the sole obligation of the Company) related to the Assumed Financing will be adjusted and apportioned between Liberty and the Company in accordance with the following: (i) prepaid interest will be paid to Liberty by the Company and accrued, but unpaid interest will be paid by Liberty with both to be apportioned as of the day preceding the Closing Date; and (ii) Liberty will be entitled to receive the amounts (including accrued interest) of any escrow and other sums on deposit with a lender under the Assumed Financing (including any escrow reserves) when disbursed by the holder of such Assumed Financing.

7.2 Adjustments; Reproration. After receipt of final financial statements for the Entities for the current year or applicable fiscal period, Liberty shall prepare and present to NYSCRF a calculation of the reproration of the profits and losses of the Entities to be passed through to the Company. The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within 30 days after presentment to NYSCRF of Liberty’s calculation. This provision shall survive the Closing.

7.3 Indemnity.

(a) Except for items to be prorated and reprorated by Liberty and NYSCRF pursuant to this Article 7, Liberty hereby assumes full responsibility for any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the ownership of the Interests, Entities or the Property first arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the Existing Litigation. Liberty also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company and NYSCRF harmless from any claims, liabilities or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Liberty’s failure to perform said obligations.

(b) Except for items to be prorated and reprorated by Liberty and NYSCRF pursuant to this Article 7, the Company hereby assumes full responsibility for any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (“Losses

and Liabilities”), which may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the ownership of the Property first arising or accruing on or after to the Closing Date, excluding, however, any Liberty Losses and Liabilities (hereinafter defined). The Company also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Liberty harmless from any claims, liabilities or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the Company’s failure to perform said obligations, provided the same do not arise on account of Liberty Losses and Liabilities. As used herein, “Liberty Losses and Liabilities” are any Losses and Liabilities which may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any action by Liberty or the LLC (a) that was not taken in the reasonable belief that it was within their scope of authority under the Partnership Agreement, (b) constituting fraud, bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct, or a breach of the standards set forth in Section 6.02(d) of the Partnership Agreement, or (c) in violation of securities laws or criminal laws.

8. SURVIVAL

8.1 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all warranties representations, covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year and any right of action for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall not merge with the Assignment but shall survive the Closing for such one (1) year period and may be enforced by the Company. In addition to all other remedies that NYSCRF and/or the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company may offset any final, non-appealable judgment it obtains against Liberty against any distributions due to Liberty from the Company.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1(b) below, if Liberty has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to any of the provisions hereof authorizing such termination, and if prior to or at the Closing Liberty defaults hereunder or shall have failed to have performed any of the material covenants and/or agreements contained herein that are to be performed by Liberty at or prior to the Closing, or if any warranty or representation made by Liberty herein is not true and correct in all material respects, NYSCRF may, at its option, as its sole and exclusive remedies, either (i) seek specific performance of this Agreement, or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1(a) to the contrary, NYSCRF will, prior to the exercise of the remedies contained in Section 11.1(a), give Liberty written notice (“NYSCRF’s Default Notice”) specifying the nature of such default.

If Liberty waives or is deemed to have waived its right to cure the default, NYSCRF shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the remedies in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1(a). If Liberty elects to cure the default specified in NYSCRF’s Default Notice, Liberty shall commence to cure such default within fifteen (15) days from the date of such election and diligently pursue such cure to completion within forty-five (45) days (“Liberty’s Cure Period”).

days after receipt of Liberty’s Default Notice, NYSCRF may, at its option, elect to cure such default or waive the option to cure the default; provided, however, NYSCRF’s failure to give Liberty written notice of its election within this time period shall be deemed an election by NYSCRF to waive its right to cure the default.

If NYSCRF elects to cure the default specified in Liberty’s Default Notice, NYSCRF shall commence to cure such default within fifteen (15) days from the date of such election and shall thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion within forty-five (45) days (“NYSCRF’s Cure Period”).

This Section 11.4 shall survive Closing.

12. RISK OF LOSS

If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned or destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty (that is, damage or destruction that NYSCRF reasonably estimates will cost in excess of [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] to repair or restore or that materially impedes access to the Property or any material part thereof), NYSCRF shall elect to do one of the following, which election shall be made not later than the later of (i) ten (10) days prior to Closing, or (ii) ten (10) days following the date NYSCRF receives written notice of the condemnation or material damage: (A) terminate this Agreement as to the Contributed Entity that owns the affected Parcel only, whereupon the parties shall negotiate an equitable reduction in the Contribution Amount hereunder or, if the parties do not reach agreement on such a reduction within thirty (30) days after such casualty, NYSCRF shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in its entirety; or (B) consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without terminating this Agreement as to the affected Parcel notwithstanding such condemnation, destruction or material damage.

Liberty shall not knowingly conduct or authorize Hazardous Materials Contamination at the Property occurring after the date hereof and on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall promptly notify NYSCRF in writing of any existing or pending investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority in connection with any Hazardous Materials Laws relating to the Property of which Liberty has received written notice or has actual knowledge (as defined in Section 4.3).

13.4 Environmental Indemnification.

(a) Liberty hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless NYSCRF and the Company from and against any Losses arising out of any material misrepresentation by Liberty in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 13.2 or by any willful breach of the covenants set forth in Section 13.3.

(b) Assumption of Defense.

(i) If a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) notifies the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, demand, action, administrative or legal proceeding, investigation or allegation adverse to the Indemnified Party and as to which the indemnity provided for in Section 13.4(a) applies (a “Potential Claim”), Indemnifying Party shall assume on behalf of Indemnified Party and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the investigation and defense thereof and the response thereto and shall be entitled, at Indemnifying Party’s sole discretion, to settle or otherwise dispose of any such Potential Claim; provided, that Indemnifying Party shall have the right to cure such matter that is the subject of the Potential Claim (subject to the rights of the owner of the Property at the time of such cure to approve the manner of such cure) if such cure will not result in additional liability or material loss of rights to Indemnified Party, and provided further that Indemnified Party have the right to be represented by advisory counsel of its own selection and at its own expense; and provided further, that if any such claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation involves both Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party and Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are inconsistent with or in addition to those available to Indemnifying Party, then Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party to participate in the investigation and defense of and response to such claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation on its own behalf at Indemnifying Party’s expense.

(ii) If any claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation arises as to which the indemnity provided for in this Section 13.4 applies, and Indemnifying Party fails to assume as soon as reasonably practical the defense of Indemnified Party, then Indemnified Party may contest (or, with the prior written consent of Indemnifying Party, settle) the claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation at Indemnifying Party’s expense using counsel selected by Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party.

(c) Notice of Losses. If Indemnified Party receives a written notice of Losses that Indemnified Party believes are covered by this Section 13.4, then Indemnified Party shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to Indemnifying Party. The failure to so provide a copy of the notice to Indemnifying Party shall not excuse Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Section 13.4; provided, that if Indemnifying Party is unaware of the matters described in the notice and such failure renders unavailable defenses that Indemnifying Party might otherwise assert, or precludes actions that Indemnifying Party might otherwise take to minimize its obligations hereunder, then Indemnifying Party shall be excused from its obligation to indemnify Indemnified Party against assessments, fines, costs and expenses, if any, which would not have been incurred but for such failure. For example, if Indemnified Party fails to provide Indemnifying Party with a copy of a notice of an obligation covered by the indemnity set out in Sections 13.4(a) and Indemnifying Party is not otherwise already aware of such obligation, and if as a result of such failure Indemnified Party becomes liable for penalties and interest covered by the indemnity in excess of the penalties and interest that would have accrued if Indemnifying Party had been promptly provided with a copy of the notice, then Indemnifying Party will be excused from any obligation to Indemnified Party to pay the excess and Indemnified Party shall indemnify Indemnifying Party with respect to any such excess.

(d) Rights Cumulative. The rights of NYSCRF and the Company under this Article 13 shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of NYSCRF and the Company against Liberty pursuant to CERCLA and NYSCRF and the Company each expressly retain any right of reimbursement or contribution thereunder.

14. NO ASSUMPTION

14.1 No Assumption. The Company is not and is not deemed to be, a successor of Liberty, it being understood that Liberty is contributing to and the Company is acquiring only the Contributed Interests and the Purchase Money Loan Documents, subject to the Merger Loan, the Liberty Loan and the Assumed Financing, and the rights and obligations arising thereunder; and it is expressly understood and agreed that, except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement and in the documents delivered at the Closing, NYSCRF has not and does not hereby assume or agree to assume any liability whatsoever of Liberty.
