Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be required by this Section 7.2(a) to provide Parent or its Representatives with access to or to disclose information (A) that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (if Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission or consent of such third party to such disclosure), (B) the disclosure of which would violate any Law applicable to Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives, or (C) that is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege or would cause a risk of loss of privilege to Company or the Company Subsidiaries. Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of Company and the Company Subsidiaries that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause its respective Representatives and Affiliates not to, contact or otherwise communicate with parties with which Company or any Company Subsidiary has a business relationship (including tenants/subtenants) regarding the business of Company and the Company Subsidiaries or this Agreement and the

transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Company (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.2(a) shall be deemed to restrict Parent and its Representatives and Affiliates from contacting such parties in pursuing the business of Parent operating in the ordinary course).

(b) Parent will hold, and will cause its Representatives and Affiliates to hold, (i) any nonpublic information relating to the BTC Entities and Black Creek Group and its Affiliates, including any such information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.2, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such information pursuant to the terms thereof notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the termination thereof and (ii) until the Effective Time, all other nonpublic information, including any information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.2, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such information pursuant to the terms thereof, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the termination thereof.

Section 7.3 No Solicitation; Company Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3, during the Interim Period, Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the directors, officers, managers (and Persons with similar positions) and Representatives of Company and the Company Subsidiaries not to, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person other than Parent or its Representatives any non-public information or data with respect to, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, recommend, publicly declare advisable or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, share exchange agreement, consolidation agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement in each case related to a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or requiring or having the effect of requiring Company to abandon, terminate or breach its obligations hereunder or fail to consummate the Merger (each, a "Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement"), or (iv) agree to or propose publicly to do any of the foregoing. Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Representatives of Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing negotiations with any Person and its Representatives (other than Parent or any of its Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, and (B) request the prompt return or destruction, to the extent required by any confidentiality agreement, of all confidential information with respect to Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries previously furnished to any such Person and its Representatives. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company may terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any standstill agreement (including any standstill provisions contained in any confidentiality or other agreement) to which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party, and it is understood and agreed that Company by execution of this Agreement shall be deemed to have waived immediately prior to the date of this Agreement any provision in any such agreement to the extent necessary (and only to such extent) to enable such counterparty to convey confidentially a Company Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.3(a) by any director, named executive officer or the Advisor of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.3(a) by Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.3(a), if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) Company receives a written Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (ii) such Company Acquisition Proposal was not the result of a violation of Section 7.3(a), and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Superior Proposal, then Company may (and may authorize the Company Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to) (x) furnish, make available or provide access to non-public information with respect to Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that any non-public information provided to any Person given such access shall have previously been provided to Parent or shall be provided (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal (and such Person's Representatives) regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company and its Representatives may contact any Person submitting a Company Acquisition Proposal (that was not the result of a material violation of Section 7.3(a)) to clarify and understand the terms of a Company Acquisition Proposal and to determine whether such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Superior Proposal; provided that, prior to any such contact, Company must comply with its obligations under Section 7.3(e) with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal and must disclose to Parent the terms that Company and its Representatives are seeking to have clarified and the responses it receives with respect to such request for clarification.

(c) Except as provided in Section 7.3(d), the Company Board (i) shall not (A) fail to make and shall not withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Parent or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Parent) the Company Board Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (C) adopt, approve, or publicly recommend or otherwise declare advisable the adoption of any Company Acquisition Proposal, (D) fail to recommend against any Company Acquisition Proposal that is structured as a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in any solicitation or recommendation statement made on Schedule 14D-9 or (E) if a Company Acquisition Proposal or any material modification thereof is made public or is otherwise sent to Company's stockholders, fail to issue a press release or other public communication that reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, or (F) propose, resolve or agree to take any action set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) (each such action set forth in this Section 7.3(c)(i) being referred to herein as a "Company Adverse Recommendation Change") and (ii) shall not cause or permit Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) and immediately thereafter enter into a Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal (a "Company Superior Proposal Termination"), so long as, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), (A) Company receives a

written Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide and such Company Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn, (B) such Company Acquisition Proposal was not the result of a violation of Section 7.3(a), (C) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, (D) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Company's legal and financial advisors) that the failure to terminate this Agreement or make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable Law, and (E) (w) Company has provided to Parent a written notice (a "Notice of Recommendation Change") describing in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal and including copies of the definitive agreements in the form to be entered into and identifying the Person or group of Persons making such Company Superior Proposal (which notice shall not be deemed to be, in and of itself, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), (x) if requested by Parent, Company negotiates in good faith regarding any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent during the four (4) Business Day period immediately following Parent's receipt of the Notice of Recommendation Change (the "Notice Period") (it being agreed that any change in price or form of consideration contemplated by, and any material amendment or modification to the terms of, such Company Acquisition Proposal shall require a new Notice of Recommendation Change; provided that Company shall be obligated to negotiate for a period of three (3) Business Days from such new Notice of Recommendation Change), and (y) at the end of the applicable period, after considering any counter-offer made by Parent, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable Law.

(e) Company shall promptly (but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent orally, and promptly thereafter in writing, of the receipt by Company, the Company Board or any of their respective Representatives of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making such inquiry, proposal or offer, and the material terms and conditions of, such inquiry, proposal or offer (including a copy thereof if in writing and any material documentation or correspondence that sets forth any such terms). Company shall (i) promptly (but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent, orally and promptly thereafter in writing, (A) of any changes or modifications to the material terms of the Company Acquisition Proposal and (B) if Company determines to begin providing non-public information or to engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning a Company Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 7.3(b) and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such written notice and (ii) keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis regarding material developments, discussions and negotiations concerning any such Company Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall prohibit Company or the Company Board through its Representatives, directly or indirectly, from (i) issuing a "stop, look and listen" communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder or taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), or making a statement contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside counsel), failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable Law; provided, that in no event shall this Section 7.3(f) affect the obligations of Company specified in Section 7.3(c); and provided, further, that a "stop, look and listen" communication or similar

communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be, in and of itself, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change so long as such communication publicly states that the Company Board Recommendation has not changed or refers to the prior Company Board Recommendation.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) "Company Acquisition Proposal" means any proposal, offer, or inquiry from any Person or "group" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in one transaction or a series of transactions, including any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, restructuring, share exchange, issuance, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, business combination, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, sale, lease, exchange, license, transfer or disposition or similar transaction, (A) of assets or businesses of Company and the Company Subsidiaries that generate 25% or more of the net revenues or net income or that represent 25% or more of the consolidated total assets (based on fair market value) of Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately prior to such transaction, or (B) of 25% or more of any class of capital stock, other equity security (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, any equity security) or voting power of Company or any resulting parent company of Company, including any tender offer or exchange offer in which any Person or "group" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) seeks to acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as may be required by Law, Order or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, in which case such Party shall consult with the other Party before making such public statement or filing with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent it is not reasonably practicable to do so.

Section 7.5 Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any manager, director, officer, trustee, agent, fiduciary, advisor or Person acting in a similar capacity may have under any indemnification agreement, the Company Advisory Agreement or under the Organizational Documents of Company or any Company Subsidiary, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each person who is at the date hereof, was previously, or during the period from the date hereof through the Closing Date, serving as a manager, director, officer, trustee, agent, fiduciary, advisor or Person acting in a similar capacity of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and acting in such capacity (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law, including without limitation Section 2-418 of the MGCL, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, Claim Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) relating to or resulting from such Claim; and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within ten (10) Business Days after any request for advancement, advance to each of the Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law, as now or hereafter in effect, any Claim Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating with respect to any Claim in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the Indemnified Party of any Claim Expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security, but subject to Parent's receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such Claim Expenses if it is ultimately determined under applicable Laws that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified; provided that Parent shall not be liable for any amounts paid in settlement effected without Parent's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent pursuant to this Section 7.5(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a manager, director, officer, trustee, employee, agent, fiduciary, advisor or Person acting in a similar capacity of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries after the date hereof and shall inure to the benefit of such Person's heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. As used in this Section 7.5(a), (I) the term "Claim" means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed Action, whether instituted by any Party hereto, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to, or that any Indemnified Party reasonably believes could lead to the institution of any Action arising out of or pertaining to, (x) matters that relate to such Indemnified Party's duties or service as a manager, director, officer, trustee, employee, agent, fiduciary, advisor or Person acting in a similar capacity of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or, to the extent such

Person is or was serving at the request or for the benefit of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, any other entity or any Benefit Plan maintained by any of the foregoing at or prior to the Closing, and (y) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; and (II) the term "Claim Expenses" means all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations (including experts' fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.5(a), including any Action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by an Indemnified Party. Parent shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any actual or threatened Claim in respect of which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim, or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto in writing.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing, now existing in favor of the current or former managers, directors, officers, trustees, agents, fiduciaries, advisors or Persons acting in similar capacities of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Organizational Documents, the Company Advisory Agreement and indemnification agreements of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall survive and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time. For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the organizational documents of the Surviving Entity and any applicable Company Subsidiary shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification and limitations on liability of managers, directors, officers, trustees, agents, fiduciaries, advisors or Persons acting in similar capacities than are set forth in the Organizational Documents of each of Company and the Company Subsidiaries, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law and then only to the minimum extent required by applicable Law.

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance (including any Side A component thereof) covering each Person currently covered by Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance policy for acts or omissions occurring prior to and through the Closing; provided that in lieu of Parent's obligation hereunder, (i) Parent may substitute therefor policies of an insurance company with the same or better rating as Company's or the applicable Company Subsidiary's current insurance carrier the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such directors and officers than Company's or the applicable Company Subsidiary's existing policies as of the date hereof and which substitute policies are reasonably acceptable to Company, or (ii) Company may obtain extended reporting period coverage under Company's or the applicable Company Subsidiary's existing insurance programs (to be effective as of the Closing) or purchase a "tail" policy for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, as applicable, for a cost not in excess of two and a half (2.5) times the current annual premiums for such insurance; and provided, further, that in no event shall Parent be required to pay annual premiums for insurance under this Section 7.5(c) in excess of 250% of the most recent annual premiums paid by Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary, as applicable, prior to the date of this Agreement for such purpose, it being understood that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for such 250% amount.

(d) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or other entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) liquidates, dissolves or winds-up, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.5.

(e) Parent shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 7.5; provided that such Indemnified Party provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not legally entitled to indemnification under Law.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.5 are intended to be for the express benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party (who are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.5), his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent, Company and the Surviving Entity and shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Indemnified Party (including his or her successors, assigns and heirs) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (including such successors, assigns and heirs) affected thereby. The exculpation and indemnification provided for by this Section 7.5 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Law, contract or otherwise.

Section 7.6 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of Company and Parent shall and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries, Merger Sub and the other Parent Subsidiaries, respectively, and their respective Affiliates to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or pursuant to any contract or agreement to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the taking of all actions necessary to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 8 to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary or advisable actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the giving of any notices to Governmental Authorities or other Persons and the making of all necessary or advisable registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary or advisable to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including complying expeditiously with any and all information and document requests by any Governmental Authority in connection with any investigation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) subject to Section 7.7(c), the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, and the avoidance of each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this

Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. In addition, from the date of this Agreement until the mailing or delivery of the definitive Proxy Statement to the Company's stockholders pursuant to Section 7.1(a), Company and Parent shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Parent Subsidiaries, respectively, to, cooperate in good faith to consider and determine the feasibility of, and if possible structure and negotiate, a transaction involving the contribution by Advisor to Company LP of certain assets, including the Company Advisory Agreement (including any amendments thereto) and certain intellectual property, in exchange for units of limited partnership in Company LP, or an alternative structure designed to achieve a similar result, acceptable to both Company and Parent in their sole discretion.

(b) Each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with the preparation of any required governmental filings or submissions and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority, including promptly informing the other Parties of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority, and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between any Party and any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement. To the extent reasonably practicable and legally permitted, the Parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance, and each of the Parties will consult the others on, all the information relating to such Parties and each of their Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 7.6 as "outside counsel only." Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or trustees of the recipient without the advance written consent of the Party providing such materials. To the extent reasonably practicable, none of Company, Parent or Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their respective Representatives to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other Party prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without giving the other Party the opportunity to attend or participate (whether by telephone or in person) in any such meeting with such Governmental Authority (except that confidential, competitively sensitive business information may be excluded from such a meeting or conversation).

(b) Company and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to Company, if (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate in any material respect such that it would be reasonable to expect that the applicable closing conditions would be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, or (ii) it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided that no such notification (or failure to give such notification) shall affect the

representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Company and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to Company, if, to the Knowledge of such Party, the occurrence of any state of facts, change, development, event or condition would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause, any of the conditions to Closing set forth herein not to be satisfied or satisfaction to be materially delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure by Company, Parent or their respective Representatives to provide such prompt notice under this Section 7.7(b) shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.3(b) or Section 9.3(b)(i) .

(c) Company and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to Company, of any Action commenced relating to or involving such Party or any Company Subsidiary, Parent Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, respectively, that relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Parent and its Representatives shall give Company the opportunity to reasonably participate in the defense and settlement of any litigation against Parent or its directors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Company's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement involves no admission of liability and no restrictions or other obligations binding on Parent, Company or any Parent Subsidiary or Company Subsidiary other than the payment of money and the amount of such settlement shall be fully covered by insurance proceeds.

(d) Each of Company and Parent agrees to give prompt written notice to the other Party upon becoming aware of the occurrence or impending occurrence of any Event relating to it or any Parent Subsidiary or Company Subsidiary, which could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be.

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

Any waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not constitute a waiver to any subsequent or other exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 10.8 Governing Law. The filing of the Merger Certificate shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflicts of Law principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement, and all Actions (whether at Law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflicts of Law principles (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.

Section 10.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably agrees and consents (a) to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City (Maryland), and to request assignment to the Business and Technology Case Management Program (the "Maryland Court") for the purpose of any Action (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise), directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of the Parties in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, (b) that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) that it waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action in the Maryland Court and agrees not to plead or claim in the Maryland Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum, (d) that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement in any court other than the Maryland Court, and (e) that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to request and/or consent to the assignment of any Action to the Maryland Court's Business and Technology Case Management Program. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect the rights of any Party to pursue appeals from any judgments or order of the Maryland Court as provided by Law. Each Party agrees, (x) to the extent such Party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Maryland, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Maryland as such Party's agent for acceptance of legal process, and (y) that service of process may also be made on such Party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such Party personally within the State of Maryland.

Section 10.10 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.11 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.3(b), Section 10.11(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon

such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (including if any of the Parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Parties' obligations to consummate the Merger and the obligation of Parent or Merger Sub to pay, and the right of the holders of Company Common Stock and the holders of Company Restricted Stock right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without proof of damages or otherwise (including the Parties' obligations to consummate the Merger and the obligation of Parent or Merger Sub to pay, and the right of the holders of Company Common Stock and the holders of Company Restricted Stock to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby waives (a) any defense in an Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Each Party agrees that the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right neither Company, on the one hand, nor Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, would have entered into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties may pursue both a grant of specific performance or other equitable remedies to the extent permitted by this Section 10.11 and the payment of damages as contemplated by Section 9.2, but shall not be entitled or permitted to receive an award of damages if specific performance or other equitable remedies are awarded and consummation of the Merger occurs and shall not be entitled or permitted to receive an award of specific performance or other equitable remedies if damages are awarded.

Section 10.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.12.

Section 10.13 Authorship. The Parties agree that the terms and language of this Agreement are the result of negotiations among the Parties and their respective advisors and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any Party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.

Re: Industrial Property Trust Inc.—
Status as a Real Estate Investment Trust

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as counsel to Industrial Property Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the merger (the "Merger") of Rockies Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Merger Sub"), with and into the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 15, 2019 and as amended from time to time, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Prologis, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Parent"). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

We are providing this opinion letter to you in connection with the Merger at the request of the Company in accordance with Section 8.2(e) of the Merger Agreement. Although you may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax treatment and federal tax structure of the Company and all materials of any kind that were provided to you by us relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, this opinion is intended for your benefit, and may be relied upon by Parent, in connection with the Merger Agreement. You may not authorize any other person or entity to rely on this opinion, or otherwise make this opinion available for the benefit of any other person or entity, without our prior written consent.

In our capacity as counsel to the Company and for purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the following, with your consent: (i) the Merger Agreement; (ii) a certificate executed by duly appointed officers of the Company (the "Company Officer's Certificate") setting forth certain factual representations, dated [ · ], 2019, and (iii) such other documents as we have considered relevant to our analysis. We have also examined the opinions, including officer's certificates and exhibits related thereto, of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP, dated July 17, 2017 , with respect to the qualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") through its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, we have examined such other documents as we have considered relevant to our analysis. In our examination of such documents, we have assumed the authenticity of original documents, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of signatures, and the legal capacity of signatories. We have also assumed that all parties to such documents have acted, and will act, in accordance with the terms of such documents.

Our opinion is based on: (a) our understanding of the facts as represented to us in the Company Officer's Certificate; and (b) the assumption that (i) the Company and its subsidiaries have valid legal existences under the laws of the states in which they were formed and, to the extent relevant to our opinion, have operated in accordance with the laws of such states, (ii) the Company is operated, and will continue to be operated, in the manner described in the Company Officer's Certificate, (iii) all representations of fact contained in the Company Officer's Certificate are true and complete, (iv) any representation of fact in the Company Officer's Certificate that is made "to the knowledge of" or similarly qualified is correct without such qualification, and (v) the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. While we have made such inquiries and investigations as we have deemed necessary, we have not undertaken an independent inquiry into or verification of all such

facts either in the course of our representation of the Company or for the purpose of rendering this opinion. While we have reviewed all representations made to us to determine their reasonableness, and nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to question the accuracy of such representations, we have no assurance that they are or will ultimately prove to be accurate.

We note that the tax consequences addressed herein depend upon the actual occurrence of events in the future, which events may or may not be consistent with any representations made to us for purposes of this opinion. In particular, the qualification and taxation of the Company as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes depends upon the Company's ability to meet on a continuing basis certain distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership, and the various qualification tests imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To the extent that the facts differ from those represented to or assumed by us herein, our opinion should not be relied upon.

Our opinion herein is based on existing law as contained in the Code, final and temporary Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and court decisions as of the date hereof. The provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, IRS administrative pronouncements and case law upon which this opinion is based could be changed at any time, perhaps with retroactive effect. In addition, some of the issues under existing law that could significantly affect our opinion have not yet been authoritatively addressed by the IRS or the courts, and our opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Hence, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge, or that the courts will agree with, our conclusions.

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing and the next paragraph below, we are of the opinion that, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013 and through its taxable year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and for the hypothetical short tax year beginning January 1, 2019 and ending with the Closing, taking into account the BTC Spinoff but not the Merger, its organization and method of operation has enabled it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

We undertake no obligation to update this opinion, or to ascertain after the date hereof whether circumstances occurring after such date may affect the conclusions set forth herein. We express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the Code, the Treasury Regulations, published administrative announcements and rulings of the IRS, and court decisions.

You may not authorize any other person or entity to rely on this opinion, or otherwise make this opinion available for the benefit of any other person or entity, without our prior written consent.

While we have made such inquiries and investigations

as we have deemed necessary, we have not undertaken an independent inquiry into or verification of all such facts either in the course of our representation of the Company or for the purpose of rendering this opinion. While we have reviewed all representations made to us to determine their reasonableness, and nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to question the accuracy of such representations, we have no assurance that they are or will ultimately prove to be accurate.

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing and the next paragraph below, we are of the opinion that, since its formation on [ · ], 2019, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its organization and proposed method of operation will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for its taxable year ending December 31, 2019, taking into account the BTC Spinoff but not the Merger.

Section 8.3 Preservation of Privilege. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 10.5 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in

accordance with Section 10.7 without notice or liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Accordingly, persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 10.6 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the Parties hereto by action taken or authorized by the Company Board and the Parent Board, respectively, at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and prior to the Distribution Date; provided that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered under this Agreement to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock or the holders of shares of Company Restricted Stock, or which by applicable Law requires the further approval of the stockholders of Company without such further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties.

Section 10.7 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Spinoff Effective Time, the Parties hereto may, subject to the requirements of applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not constitute a waiver to any subsequent or other exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all Actions (whether at Law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflicts of Law principles (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.

Section 10.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably agrees and consents (a) to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Maryland Court for the purpose of any Action (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise), directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of the Parties in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, (b) that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) that it waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action in the Maryland Court and agrees not to plead or claim in the Maryland Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum, (d) that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement in any court other than the Maryland Court, and (e) that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to request and/or consent to the assignment of any Action to the Maryland Court's Business and Technology Case Management Program. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect the rights of any Party to pursue appeals from any judgments or order of the Maryland Court as provided by Law. Each Party agrees, (x) to the extent such Party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Maryland, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Maryland as such Party's agent for

acceptance of legal process, and (y) that service of process may also be made on such Party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such Party personally within the State of Maryland.

Section 10.11 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without proof of damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby waives (a) any defense in an Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Each Party agrees that the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right neither Company or BTC Spinco, on the one hand, nor Parent, on the other hand, would have entered into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties may pursue both a grant of specific performance or other equitable remedies to the extent permitted by this Section 10.11 and the payment of damages as contemplated by Section 9.2, but shall not be entitled or permitted to receive an award of damages if specific performance or other equitable remedies are awarded and consummation of the Merger occurs and shall not be entitled or permitted to receive an award of specific performance or other equitable remedies if damages are awarded.
