Such monies shall be paid over and applied in the following priority: (A) first, on account of rents due to Seller and Purchaser (and pro-rated between them as of the date of Closing Date) for the month in which Closing occurs; (B) then, on account of rents due to Seller for any month prior to the month of Closing less the reasonable costs of collection; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to take any steps to recover any rent arrearages (other than billing tenants in the ordinary course); and (C) then, on account of rents due to Purchaser for periods on and after Closing.

If the reimbursed Property Expenses received by Target Company Group under the GSA-IRS Lease with respect to the portion of the Reconciliation Period preceding the Closing exceed the Property Expenses incurred and paid by Target Company Group with respect to the same portion of the Reconciliation Period (“Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus”), then Seller shall pay an amount equal to such Property Expense Reimbursement Surplus to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt and approval of the Property Expense Reconciliation.
(iii)Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any pending or required annual statements or other requests for payment under the GSA-IRS Lease and any disputes or claims by or against the GSA-IRS under the GSA-IRS Lease concerning the calculation of Property Expenses during the Reconciliation Period.
(iv)Any and all unapplied security deposits and advance rentals in the nature of security deposits made by the GSA-IRS under the GSA-IRS Lease which are in the possession or control of Seller on the Closing Date shall be turned over to Purchaser at the Closing.

(ii)the breach by Purchaser of an agreement, covenant or obligation under this Agreement to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement.
For the purposes of this Section 9.2(b), each Target Company Group Member shall be (and shall be deemed to be) an Affiliate of Seller.

48
such indemnification shall be entitled to recover all such Damages, including the Indemnification Basket Amount (subject, however, to the other limitations set forth in this Section 9.2(c) and elsewhere in this Agreement); (ii) Purchaser shall have no indemnification obligation to any Seller Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages for which the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification exceeds the Indemnification Basket Amount, in which case the relevant Seller Indemnified Parties entitled to such indemnification shall be entitled to recover all such Damages, including the Indemnification Basket Amount (subject, however, to the other limitations set forth in this Section 9.2(c) and elsewhere in this Agreement); (iii) the obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) and recourse against Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be limited such that the aggregate obligations of Seller under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap; (iv) the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) and recourse against Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) shall be limited such that the aggregate obligations of Purchaser under Section 9.2(b)(i) shall not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap.
(d)Carve-Outs to Application of Indemnification Basket and Indemnification Cap. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnification Basket Amount and the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to, and shall not restrict the obligation of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be and as applicable, to indemnify against Damages attributable to, (i) breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.8, 4.14, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 5.1, 5.2, 5.7 and 5.9 and (ii) the Seller Closing Certificate or the Purchaser Closing Certificate to the extent applicable to the representations and warranties referenced in the immediately preceding clause (i) (collectively, the “Exempted Representations”) or (iii) fraud or any intentional breach of any representation, warranty or certification.
(e)Indemnification Limitations Based on Recorded Documents, Etc. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 9 or elsewhere in any Transaction Document, in no event shall Seller be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party from and against, and Seller shall have no liability or obligation to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, any Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) for any matters that are disclosed in any Recorded Document, Environmental Report, Title Evidence or Survey Evidence that was Made Available to Purchaser by the Seller Parties prior to the Closing Date or for any other matter which, to the Knowledge of Purchaser at or prior to Closing, pursuant to documents or other information Made Available to Purchaser, would constitute a breach of Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Agreement; provided that the provisions of this Section 9.2(e) shall not apply with respect to any breach of any of the Exempted Representations or any breach that constitutes or results in a Purchaser MAE.
(f)Limitation on Timing to Make Certain Indemnification Claims. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Indemnifying Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), Section 9.2(a)(ii), Section 9.2(b)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(ii) with respect to any representation, warranty or certification unless the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of its claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(i), as the case may be, prior to the expiration of the
49
applicable survival period corresponding to such representation, warranty or certification and such notice contains a reasonably detailed description of the nature of the breach of such representation or warranty or certification (it being understood and agreed that the Parties’ respective indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(a)(i) and Section 9.2(b)(i) shall survive the Closing, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 9.1).
(g)Net of Insurance Recoveries. Any calculation of Damages for purposes of this Section 9 shall be net of any insurance recovery actually received on account of such issue by any relevant Indemnified Party (whether paid directly to such Indemnified Party or assigned by the relevant Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party) from any source other than any title insurance or similar type product (collectively “Title Insurance”); and the Parties each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize any available insurance recovery. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (y) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (z) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.
(h)Procedures Relative to Third-Party Indemnification Claims. Upon receipt by any Indemnified Party of written notice from any third party of any Proceeding initiated by such third party against such Indemnified Party that will or may give rise to a claim for Damages for which such Indemnified Party has a right to be indemnified or held harmless under this Section 9 (each a “Third Party Indemnifiable Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall as promptly as practicable give written notice thereof to Purchaser or Seller (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), if indemnification shall be sought therefrom, indicating the nature of such Third Party Indemnifiable Claim and the basis therefor; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option and expense (and by its own counsel), to assume the defense of any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party. If any Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Indemnifiable Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such asserted Third Party Indemnifiable Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding any such election to assume the defense of any Third Party Indemnifiable Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of Third Party Indemnifiable Claim, and such Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses at least quarterly), if (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there is a conflict necessitating separate counsel for the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnified Party and
50
its counsel shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and shall not assert any position in any proceeding inconsistent with that asserted by the Indemnifying Party.
Section 9.3Sole and Exclusive Remedy Post Closing.
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that after the Closing this Section 9 constitutes each Indemnified Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Damages or other claims relating to or arising from the Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit any Person’s rights or remedies in the event that a Party has committed fraud in connection herewith. No Indemnified Party may avoid such limitation by seeking Damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory other than fraud.
Section 9.4No Other Representations or Warranties.
EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PARTIES, AND THE RELEVANT ASSETS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, AND MAKE NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. Other than the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares, and indirectly thereby, of the Target Company Group, shall occur and the implicit, beneficial interest in the Property shall be transferred in an “AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS” (subject, however, to Section 7.4 hereof). To the extent required to be operative, the disclaimers of warranties contained herein are “conspicuous” disclaimers for purposes of any applicable Law or Order.
Section 9.5Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief.
The Seller Parties’ obligations under this Agreement are unique. If a Seller Party should breach its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement, it may be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages. Accordingly, Purchaser, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may xxx in equity for specific performance and/or injunctive relief, and each Seller Party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate and each other similar defense.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
Section 10.1Right to Terminate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions contemplated herein abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
51
(a)by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;
(b)by Purchaser, if any of the Closing Conditions set forth in Section 7 shall have become incapable of fulfillment (including by reason of any Interim Change whether or not disclosed in the Seller Closing Certificate) and shall not have been waived by Purchaser, provided that the right of Purchaser to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to Purchaser if its breach of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of the impossibility of fulfillment of such condition;
(c)by Seller, if any of the Closing Conditions set forth in Section 8 shall have become incapable of fulfillment (including by reason of any Interim Change whether or not disclosed in the Purchaser Closing Certificate) and shall not have been waived by the Seller Parties provided that the right of Seller to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to Seller if: a breach by any of the Seller Group Member of its (or their) obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of the impossibility of fulfillment of such condition; or
(d)by Seller, if the Transactions have not been consummated by 11:59 p.m. on January 29, 2016 (subject to extension as provided below, the “Outside Time”) (with time being of the essence with respect thereto); provided that (i) if the Closing Date is extended by Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.1, then the Outside Time shall be likewise extended to 11:59 p.m. on February 19, 2016 (with time being of the essence with respect thereto), and (ii) the right of Seller to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d) shall not be available to Seller if a breach by any of the Seller Group Member of its (or their) obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of the failure of the satisfaction of the Closing Conditions by the Outside Time;
(e)by Purchaser or Seller, if a Governmental Entity issues an Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the Transactions; or
(f)by Purchaser, if a Material Property Event occurs during the Closing Period.
Section 10.2Regarding Interim Changes.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) (A) a Seller Group Closing Certificate that discloses any Interim Change that indicates or constitutes a failure of a Closing Condition set forth in any of Section 7 shall not constitute a waiver of any such failure of any such Closing Condition, and (B) Purchaser shall have no obligation to consummate any of the Transactions because of such failure of such Closing Condition and may terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10 unless Purchaser shall have expressly waived any such failure of such Closing Condition, and (ii) (A) a Purchaser Closing Certificate that discloses any Interim Change that indicates or constitutes a failure of a Closing Condition set forth in any of Section 8 shall not constitute a waiver of any such failure of any such Closing Condition, and (B) the Seller Parties shall have no obligation to consummate any of the Transactions because of such failure of
52
condition and may terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8 (subject to Section 10.4) unless Seller shall have expressly waived any such failure of such Closing Condition.
Section 10.3Effect of Termination.
(a)Each Party’s right of termination under Section 10.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have (i) under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 9.5 and Section 10.3(c) or (ii) otherwise at Law or in equity in respect of a breach described in clause (y) or clause (z) of Section 10.3(b) and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, written notice thereof must be given by the terminating Party to the other Parties specifying the provision of Section 10.1 pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement will terminate provided that the provisions of Section 9, this Section 10 and Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(b)If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than (y) on account of a breach by a Party of any representation or warranty of such Party in any material respect under this Agreement or (z) on account of the failure by a Party to perform and comply in all material respects with the material obligations of such Party under this Agreement, then: (i) neither Party shall have any obligation to make a payment or reimbursement to the other Party or its Affiliates based on this Agreement; and (ii) the rights of Purchaser and its Affiliates in and to the Property and the Target Company shall terminate fully. The foregoing exclusion in each of clauses (y) and (z) of this Section 10.3(b) is solely for the reimbursement payment and liquidated damage provided for in Section 10.3(c) and Section 10.3(d) and, apart from such reimbursement payment and liquidated damage, such exclusion has no other purpose.
(c)If this Agreement is terminated as described in clause (y) and (z) of Section 10.3(b) due to a breach or default by Seller, then as the sole and exclusive damage remedy of Purchaser Group for such breach or default and the termination of this Agreement Seller shall reimburse Purchaser an amount (not to exceed $500,000 unless Seller willfully defaults hereunder by selling (directly or indirectly) the Property or the Purchased Shares, in which case no cap shall apply) on account of, and equal to, the aggregate reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the pursuit of acquiring the Target Company. Any such reimbursement, if payable, shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser within 10 calendar days after Seller’s receipt of documentation from Purchaser supporting the same. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Purchaser does not have the right, pursuant to the terms hereof, to terminate this Agreement by reason of a breach or default by Seller, Seller shall nevertheless be responsible for the payment to Purchaser of any and all Damages incurred by Purchaser by reason of such breach or default, subject to the applicable limitation in Article 9 hereof.
(d)If this Agreement is terminated as described in clause (y) and (z) of Section 10.3(b) due to a breach or default by Purchaser, then the entire Deposit shall be immediately paid by Escrow Agent (if previously deposited with Escrow Agent) or by Purchaser (if and to the extent not previously deposited with Escrow Agent) to Seller, as liquidated
53
damages and as Seller’s sole and exclusive damage remedy for such breach or default and the termination of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the amount of Seller’s actual damages arising from such a default by Purchaser and the termination of this Agreement are presently, and at the time of such a default would be, impossible or extremely difficult to ascertain with certainty, and that the amount of the Deposit is a fair and reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.3(d) shall be subject to Purchaser’s rights described in Section 10.4 below.

Section 10.4Purchaser’s Special Cure Rights.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VIII and Section 10.3(d)), Seller shall not have the right to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 10.3 upon termination of this Agreement by Seller on account of any breach by Purchaser of any material representation or warranty of Purchaser under this Agreement (a “Purchaser Breach”) unless (i) such Purchaser Breach results in the failure to satisfy the condition in Section 8.1 or the condition in Section 8.2, and (ii) Purchaser fails to cure such Purchaser Breach in accordance with this Section 10.4. In order to cure a Purchaser Breach pursuant to this Section 10.4, not later than the Outside Time Purchaser must (a) satisfy all of its Closing Conditions, other than the Closing Condition to which such Purchaser Breach relates, set forth in Article VIII above and (b) tender full performance under Section 3.3, including payment of the Purchase Price to Seller. If Seller does not accept Purchaser’s tender of performance under Section 3.3 then Seller shall not be entitled to the Deposit as liquidated damages under Section 10.3, but in such case Seller shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity on account of the Purchaser Breach. If the Purchaser Breach constitutes or results in a Seller MAE, then Seller’s acceptance of Purchaser’s cure under this Section 10.4 shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies available to Seller at law or in equity as a consequence of the Purchaser Breach (but not any damages other than Seller’s actual damages), other than the right to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages.
