2.6. Promptly after the receipt by Escrow Holder of (a) notice of any demand by either party claiming that it is entitled to the Deposit or (b) any other claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by either party, Escrow Holder shall send a copy of such notice to the other party and inform the other party of such claim; but the failure by Escrow Holder to give such notice shall impose no liability on the Escrow Holder. If Escrow Holder shall receive written notice from either party within five (5) Business Days after delivery of such notice to the other party instructing Escrow Holder not to deliver the Deposit to the requesting party or to otherwise hold the Deposit, or if for any reason there is any dispute or uncertainty concerning any action to be taken hereunder, Escrow Holder shall either (i) take no action and shall continue to hold the Deposit until it has received written instructions signed by Seller and Purchaser or until directed by a final order of judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Holder shall take such action in accordance with such instructions or such order or (ii) in the event a litigation is commenced between Purchaser and Seller with respect to this Agreement, and with the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction in New York State, deposit the Deposit with such court or as directed by such court.

7.4. Subject to receipt of the Lender Consent, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Seller Documents executed and delivered by Seller, the Transaction provided for herein and therein, respectively, and compliance with or fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, will not (a) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or conflict with, or result in the creation of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of Seller, or any subsidiary of Seller, pursuant to, any of the terms and provisions of any loan agreement, agreement, indenture, mortgage, lien, lease, consent, license, franchise, financing, or other instrument or agreement to which Seller, or any subsidiary of Seller, is bound or under which Seller’s properties, or the properties of any Seller subsidiary, are affected or (b) violate any law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, decree, writ, or injunction applicable to Seller or any subsidiary of Seller, in each case, excluding the Partnership, any subsidiary of the Partnership, and the Partnership Documents.

7.12. Seller has not made any loan to any other partner in the Partnership or to the Partnership that remains due and payable, nor is Seller indebted to any other partner in the Partnership in respect of the Interests, which such indebtedness remains due and payable.
8. Covenants.

8.1.1 Purchaser shall seek consent to the Transaction from any Lender from whom consent is required pursuant to the terms of the loan documents evidencing the Loans (including, without limitation, receipt of a “no-downgrade” letter from applicable rating agencies, to the extent required) (the “Lender Consent”). For purposes of this Section 8.1, the “Loans” mean, collectively, (i) that certain $440,000,000 mortgage loan made by and Xxxxxx Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Mortgage Lender”) to 1301 Properties Owner, L.L.C., (ii) that certain $63,820,000 mezzanine loan made by German American Capital Corporation (“Senior Mezzanine Lender”) to 1301 Mezzanine Borrower LP, (iii) that certain $209,333,333.33 mezzanine loan made by German American Capital Corporation (“First Mezzanine Lender”) to 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Mezzanine I LP , (iv) that certain $179,333,333.33 mezzanine loan made by German American Capital Corporation (“Second Mezzanine Lender”) to 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Mezzanine II LP, (v) that certain $179,333,333.34 mezzanine loan made by German American Capital Corporation (“Third Mezzanine Lender”) to 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Mezzanine III LP and,

8.1.2 Purchaser shall request the Lender Consent from the applicable Lender(s) in writing, with a copy to Seller, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, and shall pursue the Lender Consent with diligence and in good faith. Purchaser shall promptly take all actions reasonably necessary to satisfy the requirements set forth in the applicable loan documents or reasonably requested by the applicable Lender in order to obtain the Lender Consent. Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of any material correspondence with such Lenders with respect to the Lender Consent upon receipt or distribution thereof, and keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status of receipt of such Lender Consent. Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of any other correspondence or documents relating to the Lender Consent as Seller may request from time to time, provided that such requests shall be reasonable in their scope and frequency and Purchaser reasonably determines that such requested information is not confidential or subject to attorney-client privilege.
8.1.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to elect not to obtain the Lender Consent and to pursue an alternative means to consummate the Transaction that would not require the consent of any Lender or any additional third party (including, without limitation, pursuant to a refinancing of the Loans) (the “Lender Consent Alternative”), provided that Purchaser (a) delivers written notice (the “Alternative Election”) to Seller of Purchaser’s election to pursue the Lender Consent Alternative (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail such Lender Consent Alternative), and (b) contemporaneously with the delivery of the Alternative Election, delivers to the Escrow Holder by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds an additional deposit (the “Alternative Deposit”) in an amount such that the total amount delivered by Purchaser to the Escrow Holder under this Agreement is equal to Eight Million Six Hundred Ninety-Six Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,696,000.00). It is specifically understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after delivery to the Escrow Holder of the Alternative Deposit, and whether or not the Lender Consent actually is obtained or the Lender Consent Alternative actually is consummated, the entire Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, and the Deposit shall be delivered to and retained by Seller at Closing or upon any termination of this Agreement without a Closing, unless this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser without a Closing pursuant to either Article 10 or Section 12.1, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.
8.2. Upon receipt of the Initial Deposit by Escrow Holder, as confirmed to the parties by Escrow Holder in writing or via electronic mail, Seller (i) shall execute and deliver to Paramount GP a letter in the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit C and (ii) shall cause Allianz U.S. Private REIT, LP to execute and deliver to Paramount GREF V, L.L.C. a letter in the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit C, consenting to the matters requested therein and without modification thereto (such letters, collectively, the “Seller Consent Letters”). For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) any consent or agreement set
12
forth in the Seller Consent Letters shall be conditioned upon, and shall not be effective prior to, the consummation of the Transaction hereunder, and (b) in the event that this Agreement is terminated without a Closing, the Seller Consent Letters shall be null and void, provided, however, that, in the event that Seller should default under this Agreement such that Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 and Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such Section 12.1, then the Seller Consent Letters shall be effective upon such termination.
8.3. All provisions of the Partnership Documents allocating profits, losses, gains, deductions, and credits for tax purposes to Seller (and any and all related rights of Seller therein) shall remain in effect following the Closing for any period or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, notwithstanding delivery by Seller of the Mutual Release. The Partnership shall use the “closing of the books” method for the year of the transfer for purposes of Section 706 of the Code. The Partnership shall prepare a balance sheet and income statement as of the Closing Date, similar to the information provided at year end, which will allow for allocation of income to the appropriate partners in the Partnership.
8.4. Until the earlier of Closing or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any commitments, agreements, or obligations to issue, sell, or transfer all or any portion of the Interest, and Seller shall not assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, or agree to assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, the Interest, in each case except for the Transaction contemplated hereby. Seller shall not grant any other person or entity any voting or management rights with respect to the Interest.
8.5. Seller and Purchaser expressly agree that the Transaction shall not be deemed to be an exercise of the right of first offer pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Supplemental Agreement, the Partner Sale Election (as defined in the Supplemental Agreement) or any other rights pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or Supplemental Agreement.
8.6. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each of the parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article 11 to be satisfied; provided, however, that Purchaser shall bear sole responsibility with respect to (and have the sole right to pursue) satisfaction of the Lender Condition.
9. Survival Period; Indemnity.
9.1. From and after the Closing, subject to Section 9.3 hereof, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser or Purchaser’s Assignee, as applicable, harmless from and against any claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and/or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”), incurred or suffered by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Assignee or to which Purchaser or Purchaser’s Assignee is subjected that arise out of or are due to (i) the breach or inaccuracy of any of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Article 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement which survives the Closing, and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy of any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in the Seller Documents which survives the Closing, (iii) the failure of Seller to comply with any covenant or obligation binding on Seller and set forth in Article 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement which survives the Closing, and (iv) the failure of Seller to comply with any covenant or obligation in any of the Seller Documents which survives the Closing.
13
9.2. From and after the Closing, subject to Section 9.3 hereof:
9.2.1 Purchaser and Purchaser’s Assignee, if any, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by Seller or to which Seller is subjected that arise out of or are due to (i) the breach or inaccuracy of Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Assignee’s representations and warranties set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement which survives the Closing, and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy of any of Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Assignee’s representations or warranties set forth in the Purchaser Documents which survives the Closing, (iii) the failure of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Assignee to comply with any covenant or obligation binding on Purchaser or Purchaser’s Assignee and set forth in Article 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement which survives the Closing, and (iv) the failure of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Assignee to comply with any covenant or obligation in any of the Purchaser Documents which survives the Closing.
9.2.2 Paramount GP hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by Seller or to which Seller is subjected that arise out of or are due to the breach or inaccuracy of Paramount GP’s representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement which survives the Closing; provided, however, such indemnification shall not apply with respect to a breach or inaccuracy in the representation set forth in Section 6.7 (the “Insurance Representation”), the sole remedy for which is set forth in Section 10.1.
9.2.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Losses that are subject to any indemnity by Purchaser, Purchaser’s Assignee or Paramount GP under this Section 9.2 shall not include any Losses arising out of a breach by, or indemnified by, any Paramount Party under the Joinder attached to this Agreement and made a part hereof, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnities and other provisions set forth in such Joinder shall not be subject to any of the temporal, monetary, remedy exclusivity or other limitations or any of the other provisions of this Article 9.
9.3. The indemnifications provided for hereunder shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.3, survive Closing for the Survival Period (hereinafter defined). No action or inaction on the part of any indemnitee or any affiliate or agent thereof, including, without limitation, any failure of such indemnitee to timely forward notice of an actual or potential claim that could be the subject of the indemnification set forth herein (but other than settling any such claim without the prior consent of the indemnitor), shall operate to waive or limit any indemnitor’s liability hereunder, or release such indemnitor from any liability hereunder unless and to the extent such action or inaction shall have prejudiced such indemnitor’s rights with respect to such claim or the ability of the indemnitor to defend or indemnify against such claim.
9.4. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.4, all of the representations and warranties of the parties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing (the
14
“Survival Period”). No party shall be liable for any claim under this Agreement unless (i) written notice of such claim (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the factual basis for any such claim) (the “Claim Notice”) is delivered by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party prior to the end of the Survival Period, notwithstanding the fact that the amount of Losses suffered in connection with the claim may not have been determined at the time such notice is given and (ii) the indemnified party commences proceedings pursuant to this Agreement within ninety (90) days after delivery of such Claim Notice by such party. So long as the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence are satisfied, the claims identified in the Claims Notice shall survive the expiration of the Survival Period.
9.5. The right to indemnification set forth in this Article 9 shall be the sole right and remedy of the parties from and after the Closing. The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive the Closing until the later of the expiration of the Survival Period and the final determination of any claim made pursuant to this Article 9 prior to the expiration of the Survival Period.
9.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not have any right to indemnification or to make any claim hereunder with respect to the breach of any representation by Purchaser, Purchaser’s Assignee or Paramount GP hereunder if, on or prior to Closing, Seller had knowledge that such representation was untrue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor Purchaser’s Assignee shall have any right to indemnification or to make any claim hereunder with respect to the breach of any representation by Seller hereunder if, on or prior to Closing, Purchaser had knowledge that such representation was untrue. As used herein, the “knowledge” of Seller shall mean the actual, present, and personal knowledge Xxx Xxxxxxx, without any independent investigation or any duty or responsibility to make any inquiry, review, or investigation. As used herein, the “knowledge” of Purchaser shall mean the actual, present, and personal knowledge of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxx, without any independent investigation or any duty or responsibility to make any inquiry, review, or investigation. Actual knowledge shall not be deemed to exist merely by assertion of a claim that any of the foregoing persons should have known of such facts or circumstances, if such person did not have actual knowledge thereof. The individuals named in this Section 9.6 shall have no personal liability pursuant to this Agreement.
9.7. If any claim, action, or proceeding is made or brought against any party, which claim, action, or proceeding any other party shall be obligated to indemnify such indemnitee against pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, upon demand by the indemnitee, the indemnitor, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action, or proceeding in the indemnitee’s name, if necessary, by such attorneys as the indemnitee shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Indemnitor shall not settle any such claim, action, or proceeding without the consent of indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement includes a complete release of indemnitee from all liability in connection therewith.
9.8. Purchaser acknowledges that, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it has conducted or will conduct to its
15
satisfaction, an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties, and projected operations of the Property and the Partnership. Purchaser has relied and will rely on the results of its own independent investigation and verification, as well as the covenants of Seller and representations and warranties made by Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement or other documents delivered at Closing including, without limitation, the Seller Documents. Such covenants, representations, and warranties by Seller constitute the sole and exclusive covenants, representations, and warranties of Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser understands, acknowledges, and agrees that Purchaser is acquiring the Interest, and accepting the Partnership and Property, on an “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL DEFECTS” basis in all respects, and all other covenants, representations, and warranties of any kind or nature, expressed or implied, statutory or otherwise, are specifically disclaimed by Seller to the maximum extent permitted by law. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its respective directors, officers, stockholders, members, employees, advisors, or representatives makes or provides, and Purchaser hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, including as for a particular purpose or as to the quality, merchantability, or conformity to samples, of the Property, the Partnership or the Interest, or any part thereto.
9.9. No party shall have any obligation to indemnify any indemnitees hereunder until the applicable indemnitees have, in the aggregate, suffered indemnifiable Losses in excess of an aggregate threshold amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000) (the “Basket”), at which time such party shall be obligated to indemnify the applicable indemnitees from and against the amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket. The maximum amount payable by any party to all indemnitees in the aggregate shall not exceed Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,500,000) (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnifiable Losses arising out of or due to the breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representations (as hereinafter defined) shall not be subject to the Basket or Cap. For purposes hereof, “Fundamental Representations” shall mean the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and 7.7 through 7.10.
10. Casualty; Condemnation.
10.1. If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or if any entity possessing the right of eminent domain shall give notice of an intention to take or acquire a substantial part of the Property, and such notice is given between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the following shall apply:
10.1.1 If the Property is damaged by an uninsured or substantially underinsured casualty resulting in Substantial Damage and provided the Partnership and its subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable Property Insurance Requirements, or if the taking or acquisition shall result in a permanent substantial reduction in the income-producing capacity of the Property, then Purchaser shall have the option to either (a) consummate the Transaction in which event any insurance or condemnation proceeds, settlements, and awards or the relevant part thereof shall be retained by the Partnership, and Seller shall not be entitled to any portion thereof, or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit. As used herein “Substantial Damage” shall be deemed to mean damage which is estimated to cost Seventeen Million and No/100 Dollars ($17,000,000.00) or more to repair.
16
10.1.2 In all other cases, Purchaser shall be required to complete the Transaction and the insurance or condemnation proceeds, settlements, or awards or the relevant part thereof shall be retained by the Partnership, and Seller shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.
10.1.3 In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 10, then Purchaser shall receive from Escrow Holder a return of the Deposit and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those rights and obligations expressly stated to survive a termination hereof.
11. Conditions to Closing.
11.1. Seller’s obligation to sell the Interest and otherwise consummate Closing hereunder is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (or simultaneous conditions, as applicable), any or all of which may be waived by Seller:
11.1.1 The delivery to Seller of the Purchase Price;
11.1.2 Purchaser shall have obtained the Lender Consent or shall have consummated the Lender Consent Alternative (the “Lender Condition”), and Purchaser shall have provided Seller with true and correct copies of documentation evidencing the same, which documentation shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller, it being acknowledged and agreed that a copy of any request for Lender Consent countersigned by a person duly authorized on behalf of Lender to do so, or, in the event of the Lender Consent Alternative, a payoff letter in Lender’s customary form (together with payment at Closing) shall, without limitation, be deemed reasonably satisfactory to Seller without need for a further writing;
11.1.3 This Agreement shall be in full force and effect and there shall not then exist any event which would allow Seller to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the express terms hereof;
11.1.4 Purchaser, Purchaser’s Assignee (if any), and Paramount GP shall not be in default in any material respect under any their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which has not been cured or waived;
11.1.5 All of Purchaser’s representations in Article 5, Purchaser’s Assignee’s representations in Article 5, if applicable, and Paramount GP’s representations in Article 6 and, in each case, elsewhere in this Agreement, and in the case of Purchaser’s Assignee (if any), as modified by Article 18, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date, provided, however, that in the event the Insurance Representation is incorrect, the same shall be deemed waived by Seller to the extent Purchaser, Purchaser’s Assignee (if any) and Paramount GP have otherwise satisfied the conditions set forth in this Section 11.1.5;
11.1.6 All deliveries required under Article 4 shall have been made; and
11.1.7 All other conditions set forth in this Agreement to Seller’s obligation to close the Transaction, if any, shall have been satisfied.
17
11.2. Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Interest and otherwise consummate Closing hereunder is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (or simultaneous conditions, if applicable), any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser:
11.2.1 The Lender Condition;
11.2.2 This Agreement shall be in full force and effect and there shall not then exist any event which would allow Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the express terms hereof;
11.2.3 Seller shall not be in default in any material respect under any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, which has not been cured or waived;
11.2.4 All of Seller’s representations in Article 7 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date;
11.2.5 All deliveries required under Article 3 shall have been made; and
11.2.6 All other conditions set forth in this Agreement to Purchaser’s obligation to close the Transaction, if any, shall have been satisfied.
12. Defaults and Remedies.
12.1. From and after the date hereof, in the event Seller should default under this Agreement or if any of the representations of Seller under this Agreement shall be untrue, in either case, in any material respect, and such material default or breach is not cured or remedied prior to the scheduled Closing Date, then Purchaser, if Purchaser is then ready, willing, and able to consummate Closing, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies may (i) terminate this Agreement and receive from Escrow Holder a return of the Deposit, in which event this Agreement shall be absolutely, automatically, and completely null, void, and of no further force or effect, and no parties shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.1 and for those items that, by the terms of this Agreement, expressly survive such termination hereof or (ii) treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and pursue the remedy of specific performance of the Transaction pursuant to the terms hereof against Seller. In the event Purchaser pursues the remedy of specific performance, Purchaser shall commence an action for specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement within ninety (90) days after Purchaser’s tender of notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to waive any default of Seller, in whole or in part, in its sole and absolute discretion, and proceed to cause the Purchase Price to be paid at the Closing without any further credit or adjustment to the Purchase Price or further liability of Seller with respect to such default by Seller other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Supplementing the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Partnership Documents, Purchaser agrees that no breaches of any of the terms of the Partnership Documents
18
by Seller or acts or failures to act by Seller pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Documents shall be deemed a default by Seller under, or otherwise affect the rights of Seller or Purchaser under this Agreement, and no breaches of any of the terms of this Agreement, or acts or failures to act by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed a default by Seller, or otherwise affect the rights of Seller, under the Partnership Documents. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement by Seller prior to Closing which is not cured within the applicable time period set forth herein, Purchaser and the Paramount Parties shall have no remedies under the Partnership Documents, and Purchaser’s sole remedies shall be as set forth in this Section 12.1. If Purchaser shall exercise either of the remedies set forth in (i) and (ii) of this Section 12.1, Seller shall be obligated, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, to reimburse Purchaser, within ten (10) days after demand, for any and all actual, out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction.
12.2. From and after the date hereof, in the event Purchaser should default under this Agreement or if any of the representations of Purchaser under this Agreement shall be untrue, in either case, in any material respect, and such material default or breach is not cured or remedied prior to the scheduled Closing Date, if Seller is then ready, willing, and able to consummate Closing, Seller’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and to receive the Deposit from Escrow Holder as liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages”), in which event this Agreement shall be absolutely, automatically, and completely null, void, and of no further force or effect, and no parties shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.2 and for those items that, by the terms of this Agreement, expressly survive such termination hereof. Purchaser and Seller agree that the damages that Seller shall sustain as a result of the termination of this Agreement due to the aforementioned material default or breach of Purchaser shall be substantial and shall be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Purchaser and Seller agree that the Liquidated Damages are not punitive or a penalty but that the amount of such Liquidated Damages has been determined by Purchaser and Seller to be just, fair and reasonable. Supplementing the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Partnership Documents, Seller agrees that no breaches of any of the terms of the Partnership Documents by any Paramount Party or acts or failures to act by any Paramount Parties pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Documents shall be deemed a default by Purchaser, or otherwise affect their rights of Purchaser, under this Agreement, and no breaches of any of the terms of this Agreement, or acts or failures to act by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed a default by any Paramount Party, or otherwise affect the rights of any Paramount Party, under the Partnership Documents. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser which is not cured within the applicable time period set forth herein, Seller shall have no remedies under the Partnership Documents, and Seller’s sole remedy shall be as provided in this Section 12.2.
12.3. The parties agree that remedies set forth in Article 12, as applicable, shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy (at law or in equity) for a material default or breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which occurs prior to Closing.
13. Intentionally Omitted.
19
14. Costs and Expenses.
14.1. Subject to the terms of the Joinder attached hereto and made a part hereof, Seller shall pay, when and if due, any transfer taxes and/or transfer gains taxes due and owing with respect to the Transaction.
14.2. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 14.1, all costs and expenses incident to this Agreement, the Transaction, and the Closing shall be paid by the party incurring same, including, without limitation, its own attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In the event of any litigation arising out of this Agreement, any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser or Seller in the enforcement of the Agreement due to a material default by any party to this Agreement (including reasonable attorney fees and disbursements) shall be borne entirely by said defaulting party as determined by final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction.
14.3. The provisions of this Article 14 shall survive the Closing hereunder or, if the Closing does not occur, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement.
15. Brokers and Advisors.
15.1. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants for itself that it has not dealt with any broker, agent, finder, or advisor in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated hereby. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other parties hereto free and harmless from all losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that the other parties may suffer as a result of claims made or suits brought by any broker, agent, finder, or advisor who shall claim to have introduced the indemnifying party to this Transaction or who shall claim to have dealt with or had discussions with the indemnifying party with respect to this Transaction. The provisions of this Article 15 shall survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely or, if the Closing does not occur, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement.
16. Notices.
16.1. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing by (a) personal delivery, (b) reputable national overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, (c) United States Mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (d) telecopy or (e) electronic mail (if an address to such party has been set forth below), sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, and shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt or refusal to accept delivery. Unless changed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the addresses for notice given pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

JOINDER
This Joinder is made as of July 23, 2014 to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, modified, and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between PGREF V 1301 SIXTH INVESTORS I LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), PARAMOUNT DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, PGREF V 1301 SIXTH INVESTORS GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Paramount GP”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Joinder shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
Paramount GP hereby represents and warrants to Seller that no Paramount Partner has made a direct or indirect transfer of their respective ownership interests in the Partnership (a “Transfer”) on or after the date that is three (3) years prior to the date hereof, other than the following Transfers (the “Paramount Transfers”):

The foregoing representation is hereinafter referred to as the “Pre-Closing Transfer Tax Representation”. Paramount GP shall promptly provide written notice to Seller of any Transfer that occurs during the period commencing as of the date hereof and ending on the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date.
From and after the Closing, the Paramount Partners shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any liability for payment of any transfer taxes due and payable on the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, solely to the extent the Pre-Closing Transfer Tax Representation is determined to have been false when made as of the Closing Date and any Transfer by any Paramount Party on or prior to the Closing Date, when aggregated with the Paramount Transfers and transfer of the Interest pursuant to the Transaction, gives rise to such transfer taxes.
In addition, from and after the Closing, the Paramount Partners and the Partnership shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any liability for payment of any transfer taxes due and payable on the Closing Date or at any time
thereafter which may result from the aggregation of the Paramount Transfers and the transfer of the Interest pursuant to the Transaction with any other Transfer occurring on or after the Closing Date. The foregoing indemnification shall survive for a period ending twelve (12) months after the conclusion of the period that is the later of (a) three (3) years from the Closing Date and (b) any other applicable period from and after the Closing under the applicable laws of the State and/or City of New York, as the same may be amended from time to time, with respect to the aggregation of Transfers for purposes of payment of transfer taxes.
No action or inaction on the part of Seller or any affiliate or agent of Seller, including, without limitation, any failure of Seller to timely forward notice of an actual or potential claim that could be the subject of the indemnification set forth herein (but other than settling any such claim without the prior consent of the Paramount GP), shall operate to waive or limit any indemnitor’s liability hereunder, or release such indemnitor from any liability hereunder unless and to the extent such action or inaction shall have prejudiced such indemnitor’s rights with respect to such claim or the ability of the indemnitor to defend or indemnify against such claim.
