A. CONDEMNATION. Buyer hereby agrees to assume the risk during the term of this Agreement
for any threatened or commenced condemnation or eminent domain. CPA:14 shall promptly notify Buyer
of any threatened or commenced condemnation or eminent domain proceedings affecting any Property.
In the event that all or any portion of a Property shall be taken in condemnation or by conveyance
in lieu thereof or under the right of eminent domain or formal proceedings have been initiated
therefor after the Effective Date and before the Closing Date, Buyer, nonetheless, shall be
obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to the terms hereof, in
which event CPA:14 shall deliver to Buyer or the applicable SPV Purchaser at the Closing any

reduction in the allocated portion of the Purchase Price for such Property.
B. CASUALTY. Buyer hereby agrees to assume the risk during the term of this Agreement for
any casualty or damage affecting any Property. CPA:14 shall promptly notify Buyer of any casualty
affecting any Property. In the event that all or any portion of a Property shall be damaged or

nonetheless, shall be obligated to close the transaction contemplated herein according to the terms
hereof, notwithstanding such casualty loss, and CPA:14 shall either (i) deliver to Buyer or the

20. DEFAULT.
A. CPA:14 DEFAULT; BUYER’S SOLE REMEDIES. If, after written demand, CPA:14 fails to
consummate this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of (i) Buyer’s breach
of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) Buyer’s continuing
default of any of its material covenants hereunder after ten (10) days’ prior written notice of
such default; (iii) a termination of this Agreement by CPA:14 or Buyer pursuant to a right to do so
expressly provided for in this Agreement; or (iv) the failure of the satisfaction of any condition
or contingency herein that is within the control of Buyer to satisfy), Buyer may either (1)
terminate this Agreement by written notice to CPA:14, in which event all further rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder will terminate or (2) pursue specific performance of this
Agreement, provided, however, that such action in equity for specific performance is commenced by
Buyer duly and properly filing and serving a complaint within sixty (60) days after the Outside
Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Buyer may not terminate this Agreement or refuse to close the transactions contemplated hereby
unless the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by CPA:14 has a material adverse effect
on the use and operations of the Properties, taken as a whole. In the event of any continuing
default by CPA:14 after Closing in any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this
Agreement which survive Closing or any documents delivered by CPA:14 at Closing, and such default
continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default from Buyer, Buyer
shall be entitled to pursue its remedies available at law or in equity.
B. BUYER’S DEFAULT; CPA:14’S SOLE REMEDIES. If after written demand, Buyer fails to
consummate this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of (i) breach by
CPA:14 of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) the continuing
default by CPA:14 of any of its material covenants after ten (10) days’ prior written notice of
such default; (iii) a termination of this Agreement by CPA:14 or Buyer pursuant to a right to do so
expressly provided for in this Agreement; or (iv) the failure of the satisfaction of any condition
or contingency herein that is within the control of CPA:14 to satisfy), CPA:14 may either terminate
this Agreement, in which event all further rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will
terminate, or CPA:14 may also pursue specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however,
that such action in equity for specific performance is commenced by CPA:14 duly and properly filing
a complaint within sixty (60) days after the Outside Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, CPA:14 may not terminate this Agreement
or refuse to close the transactions contemplated hereby unless the breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant by the Buyer has a material adverse effect on the Properties, taken as a
whole. Buyer acknowledges that monetary damages are not sufficient to adequately compensate
CPA:14 for a default by Buyer hereunder. In the event of Buyer’s continuing default after Closing
in any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement which survive Closing or
any documents delivered by Buyer at Closing, and such default continues for more than thirty (30)
days after written notice of such default from CPA:14, CPA:14 shall be entitled to pursue any
remedies available at law or in equity.
C. NO DEFAULT; MUTUAL TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
the Closing Date:
11

to such termination, which consent of CPA:16 is not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned;
(b) by CPA:14, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the
part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Properties,
taken as a whole;
(c) by Buyer, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part
of CPA:14 set forth in this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Properties, taken
as a whole;
(d) by either Buyer or CPA:14, if any judgment, injunction, order, decree or action by any
governmental entity of competent authority preventing the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby shall have become final and non-appealable after the parties have used
reasonable best efforts to have such judgment, injunction, order, decree or action removed,
repealed or overturned;
(e) by either Buyer or CPA:14, if the agreement and plan of merger referred to in Section 5
hereof is terminated prior to the Closing hereunder pursuant to its terms; and
(f) by
either Buyer or CPA:14, if the Closing shall not have occurred before
September 30, 2011
(the “Outside Closing Date”) (subject to automatic extension until December 31, 2011, if a
condition to Closing hereunder which is not satisfied as of September 30, 2011 is reasonably likely to
be satisfied by December 31, 2011). Provided, if the Merger Agreement has been extended, the
Outside Closing Date will be similarly extended until December 31, 2011. Either party may
terminate this Agreement after December 31, 2011.

other copies of executed documents shall serve the same purpose as originals in connection with the
terms of this Agreement and any notices required to be or given hereunder may be delivered by

26. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an agreement
in writing signed by CPA:14 and Buyer. The parties may waive any of the conditions contained
herein or any of the obligations of the other party hereunder, but any such waiver shall be
effective only if in writing and signed by the party waiving such conditions or obligations.
27. REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement and compliance with applicable law and the other terms of this agreement, each of
CPA:14 and the Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all

terms of a governing agreement in order to effect the transactions hereunder with respect to an
applicable Property or Interest, but such consents or waivers have not been obtained at Closing, if
the parties are otherwise required to close under the terms of Section 5, then the parties shall
close the transactions hereunder but with respect to such outstanding deliverables, the parties
shall continue to seek to obtain such consent or waiver, and until such time as it is obtained, the
parties shall not transfer the Interest in breach of the applicable restrictions and instead shall
enter into an equitable arrangement providing the Buyer or applicable SPV Purchaser the benefits
and risks of ownership with respect to the Interest for which the consent or waiver has not been
obtained.
29. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except for the provisions of Section 9.I, of which the
