solely and directly by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Seller Indemnified Party.

Copies of all such notices and pleadings will be provided by Buyer to Seller and Seller’s attorney promptly upon the sending or filing thereof. Seller and Seller’s attorney shall, at Buyer’s expense, cooperate in good faith with Buyer and Buyer’s attorney in the preparation and filing of all necessary pleadings and forms and shall provide any documents, signatures or other authorizations reasonably necessary to effect substitution of Buyer’s attorney for Seller’s attorney in the Pending Proceedings. Seller further agrees, at Buyer’s cost and expense and without the necessity of legal process, to take all reasonable steps to make available to Buyer documents and information (subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(b), and to the extent both are currently within the possession, custody and control of Seller) and witnesses (subject to the provisions of Section 7.18, and to the extent within Seller’s control) that are necessary and desirable to Buyer for the prosecution and/or defense of the Pending Proceedings.
Section 5.9 Reservation of Claims.

REMEDIES FOR BREACH
Section 6.1 Seller’s Breach. If Seller fails to perform its obligations hereunder to assign and transfer the Loan Rights and Obligations to Buyer on the Closing Date and all of Seller’s Conditions
-13-
Precedent have been satisfied, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either to: (i) terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit (in which event this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect except for any obligations which by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement); or (ii) proceed against Seller by bringing an action, not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, for specific performance hereunder without any right to seek damages of any kind or nature.
Section 6.2 Buyer’s Breach.

Section 6.3 Liquidated Damages. IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER BREACHES ITS OBLIGATIONS AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.2, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT THEREOF. THEREFORE, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT, AND SELLER IS ENTITLED TO THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT AS THE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), AND AS THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE PAYMENT OF THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS REASONABLE COMPENSATION TO THE SELLER.

NOTICE OF MOTION OR OTHER APPLICATION TO ANY SUCH COURT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE SERVED UPON THE PARTIES BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL TO OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE AT THE LAST KNOWN ADDRESS OF THE PARTIES, WHETHER SUCH ADDRESS BE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO MAKE ANY OBJECTIONS BASED ON JURISDICTION OR VENUE TO ANY ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY SUCH COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE PROVISIONS. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.11 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.
Section 7.12 Publicity; Litigation; Confidentiality. In no event shall Buyer (a) issue any press release, publicity, advertising, promotion, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed in any manner whatsoever this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby or otherwise disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) institute or continue any legal action in the name of Seller or any other Released Party, (c) intentionally or unintentionally, through misrepresentation or nondisclosure, conceal or mislead any person as to Buyer’s identity, or (d) use or refer to Seller’s or any other Released Party’s name or any name derived from Seller’s or any other Released Party’s name to promote the sale or transfer of the Loan or the collection or management of the Loan (provided that in descriptions of the Loan, Buyer may refer to the Loan as having been previously held by Seller and that Buyer is Seller’s successor-in-interest to the Loan), in each case without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Furthermore, Buyer agrees to keep all aspects of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all materials and information provided to Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Pending Proceedings and the Loan File, other than information that is or becomes publicly-available through no action of Buyer or any agent of Buyer (collectively, “Confidential Information”)), strictly confidential and not disclose the same to any persons; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or impair in any way Buyer’s ability to disclose the details of the transaction contemplated hereby to its legal and financial advisors, investors, partners, or lenders or as may be necessary pursuant to any court or governmental order or applicable law, including any REIT or SEC filing, disclosure or reporting requirements, or in litigation, including the Pending Proceedings; provided, further, that Buyer shall inform such parties of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall be responsible for a breach of this Agreement caused by such parties; and provided, further, that subsequent to Closing Buyer shall not be obligated to treat as confidential the Loan Documents, the Loan File and materials derived therefrom. In the event that Buyer or such parties become legally compelled to disclose all or any part of such Confidential Information under a subpoena or inquiry issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or administrative agency, Buyer shall immediately provide Seller with prompt notice so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section and shall consult with Seller on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request and cooperate with the Seller on any steps it considers advisable. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Seller waives compliance with the provisions of this Section, Buyer will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and will exercise best efforts to obtain an order, stipulation or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed. This Section shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of the provisions of any prior written agreement concerning confidentiality entered into by Buyer or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the Confidentiality Agreement (and specifically including, without limitation, the prohibition thereunder against Buyer’s contacting any Obligor under the Loan or any ground lessor, tenant, subtenant, property manager, or anyone else at, or involved with, the Property). The rights and obligations of the parties hereto under the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall survive any Closing or termination of this Agreement.
-18-
Section 7.13 Brokers. Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the sale and purchase of the Loan, the party so representing and warranting has not dealt with any real estate broker, agent or finder, other than the broker engaged by Seller, Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle Americas, Inc. (“Broker”). Buyer and Seller shall indemnify and hold each other harmless against and from any and all actual out-of-pocket losses, actual damages (expressly excluding special, consequential, punitive and exemplary damages), costs and expenses (including, without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising as a result of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

The rights, obligations, warranties and representations of the parties hereto under the provisions of this Section 7.13 survive any closing or termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.15 Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, each party shall execute and deliver such other documents and items, and take such other actions, as may be reasonably requested by the other party or Escrow Agent to allow the completion and consummation (or termination, as appropriate) of all tasks and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.15 shall survive the Closing.
Section 7.16 Time of Essence. All parties hereto agree that time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
Section 7.17 Escrow Provisions. Upon the execution of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller, and the acceptance of this Agreement by Escrow Agent in writing, this Agreement shall constitute the joint escrow instructions of Buyer and Seller to Escrow Agent to open the Escrow for the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to this Agreement. Upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Deposit and Escrow Agent’s written acceptance of this Agreement, Escrow Agent is authorized and agrees to act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall promptly execute general escrow instructions based upon this Agreement at the request of Escrow Agent; provided, however, that if there is any conflict or inconsistency between such general escrow instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. At Closing, Escrow Agent shall pay any sum owed to Seller with immediately available United States federal funds. Upon receipt of a written demand from the Seller or Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (a “Demand”), Escrow Agent shall send a copy of such Demand to the other party. If, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, such other party has not notified Escrow Agent of an objection to the disbursement of the Deposit as indicated in such Demand (a “Notice of Objection”), Escrow Agent shall comply with the instructions of such Demand. Each party agrees not to deliver a Notice of Objection without having a good faith reason for doing so. After receiving a Notice of Objection, Escrow Agent shall send a copy of such Notice of Objection to the party who made the Demand, and thereafter, in its reasonable discretion, the Escrow Agent may in the event of conflicting instructions as to the disposition of the Deposit elect either (i) to continue to hold the Deposit until the Escrow Agent receives a written agreement of Buyer and Seller (or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction) directing the disbursement of the Deposit, in which event the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit in accordance with such agreement or order, or (ii) interplead the Deposit into any court of competent jurisdiction in connection with an action of interpleader or any other proceeding (including any court in which litigation between Seller and Buyer is then pending). Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement and it may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance, upon an opinion of counsel and upon any directions, instructions, notice, certificate, instrument, request, paper or other documents believed by it to be genuine and to have been made, sent,
-19-
signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to take any legal action in connection with the Deposit or this Agreement or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or legal proceedings which would or might, in its sole opinion, cause it to incur any cost, expense, loss or liability unless, in advance, Escrow Agent shall be furnished with an indemnity, reasonably acceptable to Escrow Agent, against all such cost, expense, loss or liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and except as otherwise set forth above, Buyer and Seller jointly indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any actual, out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred (in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part) and arising out of or in connection with its services under the terms of this Agreement, including the cost and expense of defending itself against any claim of liability.
