Xxxxx Holdco LLC, a direct subsidiary of X. X. Xxxxx, and the separate corporate existence of CPA16 will cease in accordance with Section 3-114 of the MGCL, and, from and after the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the MGCL.  X. X. Xxxxx will maintain its existence as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Section 856 of the Code.

Xxxxx and CPA16 shall agree should be specified in the Articles of Merger (such time as the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”); provided that such time is not earlier than the time the Articles of Merger are filed of record and does not exceed 30 days after the Articles of Merger are accepted for record.  Unless otherwise agreed, the parties shall cause the Effective Time to occur on the Closing Date.

Section 1.4 Charter and Bylaws.  The articles of incorporation of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Charter”) and the bylaws of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Bylaws”) as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, shall, except for any required

- 2 -

amendments, be the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Company, until further amended in accordance with the respective terms of such articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable Maryland Law.

Section 1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company.  Unless otherwise determined by X. X. Xxxxx and CPA16, from and after the Effective Time (i) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company, and (ii) the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company, in each case until duly removed or replaced in accordance with the bylaws of the Surviving Company and the MGCL.

Section 1.6 Per Share Merger Consideration.

(a) As of the Effective Time, pursuant to this Agreement and by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of X. X. Xxxxx, CPA16, Merger Sub, any other X. X. Xxxxx Subsidiary or any stockholder of CPA16 (the stockholders of CPA16, the “CPA16 Stockholders”), each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of CPA16 (“CPA16 Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange for cancellation of such share (other than the Dissenting Shares discussed in Section 1.7), the rights attaching to such share shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, that number (the “Exchange Ratio”) of validly issued fully paid and non-assessable shares of W. P. Xxxxx Common Stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) equal to the quotient determined by dividing the Stock Value by the Average W. P. Xxxxx Trading Price, and rounding the result to the nearest 1/10,000 of a share of W. P. Xxxxx Common Stock, payable in the manner set forth in Section 1.9; provided, however, that (x) if the number determined by dividing the Stock Value by the Average W. P. Xxxxx Trading Price is less than or equal to 0.1447, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.1447 and (y) if the number determined by dividing the Stock Value by the Average W. P. Xxxxx Trading Price is greater than or equal to 0.1842, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.1842.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each share of CPA16 Common Stock that is owned by X. X. Xxxxx or any X. X. Xxxxx Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(b) Subject to Section 1.7, at the Effective Time, all shares of CPA16 Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of CPA16 Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or any cash pursuant to Section 1.9(e).

Section 1.7 Dissenters Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the right to demand payment of fair value of the CPA16 Common Stock in connection with the Merger is available under the MGCL, any outstanding shares of CPA16 Common Stock held by a Dissenting Stockholder (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration but shall become the right to receive such

- 3 -

consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the MGCL; provided, however, that each share of CPA16 Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Dissenting Stockholder who, after the Effective Time, withdraws his demand or fails to perfect or otherwise loses his right to receive payment of fair value, pursuant to the MGCL, shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.  As used in this Agreement, “Dissenting Stockholder” means any record holder or beneficial owner of shares of CPA16 Common Stock who is entitled to demand and receive payment of the fair value of such holder’s shares pursuant to Section 3-202 of the MGCL and who does not vote for the Merger and complies with all provisions of the MGCL (including all provisions of Section 3-203 of the MGCL) concerning the right of holders of shares of CPA16 Common Stock to object to the Merger and obtain fair value for their shares.

(b) CPA16 shall give X. X. Xxxxx (i) prompt notice of any demands for payment of fair value pursuant to the applicable provisions of the MGCL received by CPA16, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the MGCL and received by CPA16 relating to rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for payment of fair value under the MGCL.  CPA16 shall not, except with the prior written consent of X. X. Xxxxx, make any payment with respect to any such demands for payment of fair value, or settle, or offer to settle, or otherwise negotiate any such demands for payment of fair value.

Section 1.8 Adjustments to Exchange Ratio.  The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, combination, subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any stock dividend or distribution of securities convertible into CPA16 Common Stock or X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to CPA16 Common Stock (or for which a record date is established) and with respect to X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock (or for which a record date is established), after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time; provided that nothing in this Section 1.8 shall be construed to permit X. X. Xxxxx, Merger Sub, any other X. X. Xxxxx Subsidiary or CPA16 to take any action with respect to their securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.9 Recordation of Exchange; Payment of Merger Consideration.

Xxxxx Common Stock to record the issuance on the stock records of X. X. Xxxxx of the amount of X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock issuable as Per Share Merger Consideration to each holder of CPA16 Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(a).

(b) No Interest.  No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on unpaid dividends declared in respect of the CPA16 Common Stock and with a record date prior to the Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

- 4 -

(c) No Further Ownership Rights.  All Per Share Merger Consideration paid by X. X. Xxxxx in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the CPA16 Common Stock in respect of which such Per Share Merger Consideration was paid.  At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the share transfer books of CPA16 shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Company of the shares of CPA16 Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) No Liability.  None of X. X. Xxxxx, Merger Sub, or any employee, officer, director, partner, agent or Affiliate of any of them, shall be liable to any person for any part of the Per Share Merger Consideration or for dividends or distributions with respect thereto delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any shares of CPA16 Common Stock five years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any federal, state, local government, or agency or any court, regulatory or administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (a “Governmental Entity”), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of X. X. Xxxxx or its designated Affiliate free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(e) Fractional Shares.  No certificates for fractional shares of X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock shall be issued hereunder.  To the extent that a holder of CPA16 Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock, computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of CPA16 Common Stock held by such holder, such holder shall instead receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Average W. P. Xxxxx Trading Price.

(f) Paying and Exchange Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, X. X. Xxxxx shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to CPA16 to act as agent for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Paying and Exchange Agent”).  X. X. Xxxxx shall take all steps necessary to enable, and shall cause, the Surviving Company to provide to the Paying and Exchange Agent immediately following the Effective Time the aggregate cash portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon cancellation of the CPA16 Common Stock in lieu of any fractional share of X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock.  The funds deposited with the Paying and Exchange Agent in respect of the Per Share Merger Consideration is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the 10th Business Day thereafter, the Paying and Exchange Agent shall pay to each holder of CPA16 Common Stock the amount of cash such holder is entitled to receive in lieu of any fractional share of X. X. Xxxxx Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9(e).

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of CPA16 Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to X. X. Xxxxx or its designated Affiliate, upon demand, and any holder of CPA16 Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look

- 5 -

only to X. X. Xxxxx or its successor in interest for payment of its claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law).

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Paying and Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by X. X. Xxxxx, on a daily basis; provided, however, that such investments shall be in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (iii) certificates of deposit maturing not more than 180 days after the date of purchase issued by a bank organized under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus of at least $3,000,000,000 or (iv) a money market fund having assets of at least $1,000,000,000.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, X. X. Xxxxx or its designated Affiliate.

(i) Withholding Rights.  X. X. Xxxxx or the Paying and Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of CPA16 Common Stock, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.  Any such amounts so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of CPA16 Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Xxxxx Subsidiary, proposed) against X. X. Xxxxx or any of the X. X. Xxxxx Subsidiaries, including claims by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction where X. X. Xxxxx or any X. X. Xxxxx Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns but in which any of them is or may be subject to taxation, which individually or in the aggregate would be material, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes have been granted and remain in effect or are pending.  There are no Liens for Taxes upon the assets of X. X. Xxxxx or the X. X. Xxxxx Subsidiaries except for statutory Liens for Taxes not yet due or payable and for which appropriate reserves have been established on their respective financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Carey or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or qualify or modify in a manner adverse to W. P. Carey or Merger Sub), its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger or otherwise publicly repudiate the adoption, approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the CPA16 Special Committee of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, (B) adopt, approve, publicly declare advisable or recommend or publicly propose to adopt, approve, declare advisable or recommend any CPA16 Competing Transaction, (C) allow its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger to be excluded from the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (D) fail to recommend against any CPA16 Competing Transaction within ten (10) Business Days after such CPA16 Competing Transaction is publicly announced, or (E) if a tender or exchange offer relating to equity securities of CPA16 is commenced by a Person unaffiliated with W. P. Carey, fail to send to the CPA16 Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Securities Act, within ten (10) Business Days after such tender or exchange offer is first published, a statement disclosing that the CPA16 Special Committee recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (any action described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or cause or permit CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary to execute or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 4.5).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to receipt of the CPA16 Stockholder Approval, the CPA16 Special Committee shall be permitted to either (i) terminate this Agreement in order to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction, subject to compliance with Section 6.1(g) and Section 6.2, or (ii) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, in each instance, if and only if (A) the CPA16 Special Committee has received a CPA16 Competing Transaction (whether or not from an Exempted Person) that, in the good faith determination of the CPA16 Special Committee, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction, after having complied with this Section 4.5(d), and, with respect to any Person who is not an Exempted Person, (B) the CPA16 Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the CPA16 Special Committee’s fiduciary duties to the CPA16 Stockholders under applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to either terminating this Agreement or effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, in each instance in accordance with this Section 4.5(d), (i) the CPA16 Special Committee shall provide a written notice to W. P. Carey and Merger Sub that it intends to take such action and describing (1) the basis for its determination, and (2) the material terms and conditions of the CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction that is the basis of such action (including the identity of the party making the CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction and any financing commitments related thereto, which shall include any fee letters, which letters may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein, as applicable) (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”); (ii) during the three (3) Business Day period following

- 35 -

W. P.

Carey and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent that W. P. Carey and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for the proposed termination of this Agreement or the proposed Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable; and (iii) following the close of business on the last day of the three (3) Business Day period or such greater period of time as may be permitted by the CPA16 Special Committee in its sole discretion, the CPA16 Special Committee shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any amendments to this Agreement proposed in writing by W. P. Carey and Merger Sub in response to the Change of Recommendation Notice, that such CPA16 Competing Transaction continues to constitute a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction (whether or not from an Exempted Person), and with respect to any Person who is not an Exempted Person, a failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the CPA16 Special Committee’s fiduciary duties to the CPA16 Stockholders under applicable Law.  If any amendment to the financial terms or any material term of any CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction is made, the CPA16 Special Committee shall deliver a new Change of Recommendation Notice to W. P. Carey and Merger Sub, and CPA16 shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 4.6(d); provided, that, with respect to any and all such new Change of Recommendation Notices, the references in this Section 4.6(d) to “three (3) Business Days” shall be deemed to be references to “one (1) Business Day”.

(e) Within forty-eight (48) hours after the expiration of the Solicitation Period End Date, CPA16 shall (i) notify W. P. Carey in writing of the identity of each person, if any, that, in accordance with this Agreement, the CPA16 Special Committee has determined to be an Exempted Person and (ii) provide W. P. Carey with the material terms and conditions of any CPA16 Competing Transaction received from any Exempted Person prior to the Solicitation Period End Date. CPA16 shall keep W. P. Carey reasonably and promptly informed of any material changes in the status, terms or conditions of any CPA16 Competing Transaction received from any Exempted Person. Except as may relate to an Exempted Person, from and after the Solicitation Period End Date, CPA16 shall (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt), advise W. P. Carey of receipt by CPA16 or any of its Affiliates of (A) any CPA16 Competing Transaction or (B) any request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to any CPA16 Competing Transaction, the terms and conditions of any such CPA16 Competing Transaction or request (including the identity of the party making such CPA16 Competing Transaction), (ii) keep W. P. Carey fully and promptly informed (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of any material changes in the status, terms or conditions of any such CPA16 Competing Transaction (it being understood that any change or modification to any financial term or condition of any CPA16 Competing Transaction shall be deemed to be a material change) or request, and (iii) provide W. P. Carey promptly with (a) an unredacted copy of any such CPA16 Competing Transactions made in writing (including any financing commitments relating thereto, which shall include any fee letters (it being understood that any such fee letter may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein)) and (b) a written summary of the material terms of any CPA16 Competing Transactions not made in writing (including any financing commitments and any fee

- 36 -

letters relating thereto (it being understood that any such fee letter may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein)).

(f) So long as this Agreement has not been terminated, no Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the CPA16 Special Committee for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.5 by CPA16, acting directly or indirectly through any of its officers, directors, investment advisors, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders or other agents, representatives or controlled Affiliates of CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.5 by CPA16.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement, a “CPA16 Competing Transaction” shall mean any proposal or offer for, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, any of the following (other than the transactions expressly provided for in this Agreement):  (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving CPA16 (or any of the material CPA16 Subsidiaries); (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 50% or more of the assets of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, excluding any bona fide financing transactions which do not, individually or in the aggregate, have as a purpose or effect the sale or transfer of control of such assets; (iii) any issue, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries; (iv) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries in which a Person shall acquire beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries; or (v) any tender offer or exchange offer for 50% or more of the voting power in the election of directors exercisable by the holders of outstanding CPA16 Common Stock (or any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries).

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, a “CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction” means a bona fide proposal for a CPA16 Competing Transaction made by a third party which the CPA16 Special Committee determines (after taking into account any amendment of the terms of the Merger by W. P. Carey and/or any proposal by W. P. Carey to amend the terms of the Transaction Documents or the Merger), in good faith and after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, (i) is on terms which are more favorable from a financial point of view to the CPA16 Stockholders than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) would result in such third party owning, directly or indirectly, at least 90% of the CPA16 Common Stock then outstanding (or all or substantially all of the equity of the surviving entity in a merger) or at least 90% of the assets of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) is reasonably capable of being consummated and (iv) was not solicited by CPA16, any CPA16 Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, investment advisors, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders, representatives or controlled Affiliates in breach of this Section 4.5.

- 37 -

(j) Nothing contained in this Section 4.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit CPA16 or the CPA16 Special Committee, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from disclosing to CPA16’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or making any disclosure to its stockholders if the CPA16 Special Committee has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided that the foregoing shall in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any such disclosure would otherwise have under this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Public Announcements.  CPA16 and W. P. Carey shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except as otherwise required by Law in a manner which makes consultation impracticable.

Carey shall indemnify and hold harmless, each director and officer of CPA16 or any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), as and to the same extent as such Indemnified Parties are indemnified by CPA16 or the CPA16 Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.  Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 4.8, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall notify CPA16 and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and W. P. Carey, promptly thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of CPA16, the Surviving Company and W. P. Carey except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices such party.

(b) W. P. Carey agrees that it shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time all rights to indemnification existing in favor of, and all limitations of the personal liability of, the directors and officers of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries provided for in the CPA16 Charter or CPA16 Bylaws or any provision of the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including the Merger; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims (each a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Claim.  Prior to the Effective Time, W. P. Carey shall purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance

- 38 -

coverage for CPA16’s and CPA16 Subsidiaries’ directors and officers, in a form reasonably acceptable to CPA16, which shall provide such directors and officers with runoff coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable on the whole to the insured persons than, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries.

(c) This Section 4.8 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of W. P.

(d) In the event that W. P. Carey or the Surviving Company or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of W. P. Carey and the Surviving Company, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.8.

Carey Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any W. P. Carey Subsidiary or any options, warrants or rights to acquire, or security convertible into, shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any W. P. Carey Subsidiary, in each case other than repurchases from employees or Affiliates of W. P. Carey or any W. P. Carey Subsidiary (including, for purposes of this Section 4.10, as of the date hereof, any holder of ten percent (10%) or more of (a) W. P.

Section 6.6 Payment of Expenses.

(a) In the event that CPA16 or W. P. Carey becomes obligated to pay any expenses under Section 6.2 (the “Expense Amount”), CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, shall pay to the party entitled to receive such payment (the “Receiving Party”) from the amount deposited into escrow in accordance with this Section 6.6(a), an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Expense Amount and (ii) the sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to the Receiving Party without causing the Receiving Party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code for the year in which the Expense Amount would

- 47 -

otherwise be payable, for this purpose treating such amount as income that does not qualify for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, as determined by the Receiving Party’s independent certified public accountants, plus (B) if the Receiving Party receives either (1) a letter from the Receiving Party’s counsel indicating that the Receiving Party has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 6.6(b) or (2) an opinion from the Receiving Party’s counsel as described in Section 6.6(b), an amount equal to the Expense Amount less the amount payable under clause (A) above.  To the extent the entire Expense Amount is not paid to the Receiving Party in the year in which such amount would otherwise be payable as a result of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.6(a), the Expense Amount shall be carried forward to the succeeding year and shall be payable (as described above) in such succeeding year by applying the same formula and by deeming such Expense Amount as payable in such succeeding year.  To the extent the full Expense Amount has not been paid in the initial and succeeding year, the amount shall similarly be carried forward for each of the next three taxable years.  To the extent that the entire Expense Amount has not been paid in the initial year, the succeeding year and the three following years, the Expense Amount shall be forfeited by the Receiving Party.  To secure the obligation of CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, to pay these amounts, CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Expense Amount with an escrow agent selected by CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, and on such terms (subject to Section 6.6(b)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, the Receiving Party and the escrow agent.  The payment or deposit into escrow of the Expense Amount pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) shall be made at the time CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, would otherwise be obligated to pay the Receiving Party pursuant to Section 6.2.

(b) The escrow agreement shall provide that the Expense Amount in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to the Receiving Party unless the escrow agent receives any of the following:  (i) a letter from the Receiving Party’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Receiving Party without causing the payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income that qualifies for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) or a subsequent letter from the Receiving Party’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the Receiving Party, or (ii) a letter from the Receiving Party’s counsel indicating that the Receiving Party received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Receiving Party of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) (or alternatively, the Receiving Party’s counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by the Receiving Party of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Expense Amount to the Receiving Party.  CPA16 and W. P. Carey each agree to amend this Section 6.6 at the request of the Receiving Party in order to (A) maximize the portion of the Expense Amount that may be distributed to the Receiving Party hereunder without causing the Receiving Party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, (B) improve the likelihood of the Receiving Party securing a ruling described in this Section 6.6(b), or (C) assist the Receiving Party in obtaining a legal opinion from its counsel as described in this Section 6.6(b).  The escrow agreement shall also provide that any portion of the Expense Amount not paid to the Receiving Party in the initial year and the four succeeding years

- 48 -

shall be released by the escrow agent to CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable.  Unless such party is the Receiving Party, none of CPA16 or W. P. Carey shall be a party to such escrow agreement and neither shall bear any cost of or have liability resulting from the escrow agreement.
