With respect to each such item of Business Intellectual Property, to each Seller’s Knowledge: (i) Sellers possesses all right, title, and interest in and to the item, free and clear of any Encumbrance; (ii) each item is not subject to any outstanding Legal Requirement; (iii) no Action is pending, or threatened (and there is no basis therefor), which challenges the enforceability, use, or ownership of the item; and (iv) except as set forth on Schedule 3.02(u)(iii), no Seller has agreed to indemnify any Person for, or against, any interference, infringement, misappropriation, or other conflict with respect to each such item.

(iv) The Business as currently conducted and as planned to be conducted (i) does not infringe, misappropriate, use or disclose without authorization, or otherwise violate (and, when conducted by REIT, the OP, Manager Sub, or any of their Subsidiaries following the Closing in substantially the same manner, will not infringe, misappropriate, use or disclose without authorization, or otherwise violate) any non-patent Intellectual Property of any third Person or, to each Seller’s Knowledge, any patents of any third Person, and (ii) does not constitute (and, when conducted by the REIT, the OP, Manager Sub, or any of their Subsidiaries following the Closing in substantially the same manner, will not constitute) unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction. To each Seller’s Knowledge, no Person is infringing, misappropriating, using or disclosing without authorization, or otherwise violating any Business Intellectual Property owned by any of the Sellers.

(v) Insurance. Schedule 3.02(v) sets forth a true and complete list of all current policies or binders of fire, liability, product liability, umbrella liability, real and personal property, workers’ compensation, vehicular, directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability and other casualty and property insurance maintained by each Seller or its Affiliates (including the Manager Sub) and relating to the Business (collectively, the “Insurance Policies”) and true and complete copies of such Insurance Policies have been made available to the REIT and the OP. Such Insurance Policies are in full force and effect

and shall remain in full force and effect following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates (including the Manager Sub) has received any written notice of cancellation of, premium increase with respect to, or alteration of coverage under, any of such Insurance Policies. All premiums due on such Insurance Policies have either been paid or, if due and payable prior to Closing, will shall paid prior to Closing in accordance with the payment terms of each Insurance Policy. The Insurance Policies do not provide for any retrospective premium adjustment or other experience-based liability on the part of the Sellers or Manager Sub. All such Insurance Policies (a) are valid and binding in accordance with their terms; (b) are provided by carriers who are financially solvent; and (c) have not been subject to any lapse in coverage. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.02(v), there are no claims related to the Business pending under any such Insurance Policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed or in respect of which there is an outstanding reservation of rights. None of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Manager Sub) is in default under, or has otherwise failed to comply with, in any material respect, any provision contained in any such Insurance Policy. The Insurance Policies are of the type and in the amounts customarily carried by Persons conducting a business similar to the Sellers and Manager Sub and are sufficient for compliance with all applicable Laws and Contracts to which the REIT is a party or by which it is bound.

(w) IT Systems. The IT Systems are in good working condition and are sufficient for the operation of the Business as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. In the past three (3) years, there has been no malfunction, failure, continued substandard performance, denial-of-service, or other cyber incident, including any cyberattack, or other impairment of the IT Systems that has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in disruption or damage to the Business and that has not been remedied. The Sellers have taken all commercially reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality, availability, security, and integrity of the IT Systems, including implementing and maintaining appropriate backup, disaster recovery, and software and hardware support arrangements. From and after the Closing, the REIT, the OP, Manager Sub, and their Subsidiaries will have exercised and be permitted to exercise the same rights (whether ownership, license or otherwise) with respect to the IT Systems as the Sellers would have had and been able to exercise had this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and such other agreements, documents and instruments to be executed and delivered after the date hereof not been entered into and the Transactions not occurred, without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which the Sellers would otherwise have been required to pay anyway.

(x) Privacy and Data Security. Each Seller has complied with all applicable Laws and all internal or publicly posted policies, notices, and statements concerning the collection, use, processing, storage, transfer, and security of personal information in the conduct of the Business. In the past three (3) years, the Business has not (i) experienced any actual, alleged, or suspected data breach or other security incident involving personal information in its possession or control or (ii) been subject to or received any notice of any audit, investigation, complaint, or other Action by any Governmental Authority or other Person concerning the Business’ collection, use, processing, storage, transfer, or protection of personal information or actual, alleged, or suspected violation of any applicable Law concerning privacy, data security, or data breach notification, and to each Seller’s Knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Action.

(y) Powers of Attorney. There are no outstanding powers of attorney executed on behalf of any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.

(z) Transactions with Related Parties. There are no outstanding loans, receivables or payables from or to any Seller, on the one hand, and any Business Employee or other Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand. There is no: (i) agreement between Manager Sub, on the one hand, and (A) any Seller, (B) any current or former officer, employee, director or partner of any Seller or Manager Sub or (C) any Affiliate of the Persons identified in clauses (A) and (B), on the other hand, except for employment agreements or other agreements governing terms of employment; or (ii) agreement requiring payments to be made by any Seller or Manager Sub to any Person on a change of control or otherwise as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, except in each case as set forth in Schedule 3.02(z).

(aa) Improper Payments. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of each Seller, any director, officer or representative of any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee or (iii) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee, in each case, in violation in any material respect of any applicable Anti-Corruption Law. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written communication that alleges that any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective representatives, is, or may be, in violation of, or has, or may have, any liability under, any Anti-Corruption Law.

(bb) Investment Company Act. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(cc) Information Furnished. Each Seller has provided to the REIT and the OP true and complete copies of all material corporate records of such Seller and Manager Sub relevant to the Business and all other items referred to in the schedules of this Section 3.02, and neither this Agreement nor the schedules of this Section 3.02, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, as the case may be, not misleading.

Section 3.03 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE REIT AND THE OP. In each case except as disclosed in the REIT SEC Filings (but excluding any forward-looking disclosures set forth in any “risk factors” section, any disclosures in any “forward- looking statements” section and any other disclosures included therein to the extent they are predictive or forward-looking in nature) and except where the failure of any such representations or warranties to be true and correct results from an action or inaction by the Sellers, each of the

REIT and the OP hereby represents and warrants to the Sellers as follows, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date (except as to any representations and warranties that expressly speak as of a specified date or time, in which case only as of such specified date or time), which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing to the extent provided in Section 5.01:

(a) Organization and Qualification.

(i) The REIT: (A) is a duly formed corporation validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Maryland and is qualified to do business in each of the states in which it is required to be qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a REIT Material Adverse Effect; and (B) has the full corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. The REIT has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the documents to be executed and delivered by the REIT pursuant to this Agreement. The REIT is not in material default under any provision of its charter or amended and restated bylaws.

(ii) The OP: (A) is a duly formed limited partnership validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in each of the states in which it is required to be qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a REIT Material Adverse Effect; and (B) has the requisite limited partnership power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. The OP has the requisite limited partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the documents to be executed and delivered by the OP pursuant to this Agreement. The OP is not in material default under any provision of its certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement. The OP is organized and operated in a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

(b) Qualification as REIT. The REIT elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. Commencing with such taxable year, the REIT has at all times been organized and operated in such a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and the current and proposed method of operation for the REIT is expected to enable REIT to continue to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT.

(c) Due Authorization; Approvals. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which the REIT or the OP is a party, and the performance by the REIT or the OP of the Transactions contemplated to be performed by it, have been approved by all necessary corporate or limited partnership action or other proceedings, as applicable, on the part of the REIT or the OP. This Agreement has been, or upon execution and delivery will be, duly executed and delivered by authorized persons on behalf of the REIT and the OP, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other parties hereto, will constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the REIT and the OP enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other Enforceability Exceptions.

(d) Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Special Committee has received an opinion of Moelis & Company LLC, as financial advisor to the Special Committee (the “Special Committee Financial Advisor”), to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the Purchase Price is fair, from a financial point of view, to the REIT. Copies of such opinion will be made available to the members of the REIT Board (solely in their capacity as such) promptly following the receipt thereof by the Special Committee, for informational purposes only.

(e) Brokers, Finders and Advisors. Neither the REIT nor the OP has entered into any agreement resulting in, or which will result in, any Seller or Manager Sub having any obligation or liability as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or the consummation of the Transactions, for any brokerage, finder or advisory fees or charges of any kind whatsoever, except that the Special Committee has employed the Special Committee Financial Advisor (the fees and expenses in respect of which shall be included in the REIT’s transaction expenses and be payable by the REIT in accordance with Section 2.03).

Subject to applicable Law, the REIT and the OP, on the one hand, and the Sellers and Manager Sub, on the other hand, shall promptly, upon having or gaining Knowledge of any event, condition or fact that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the other party’s obligation to consummate the Transactions not to be fulfilled, notify the other party hereto, and furnish the other party hereto any information it may reasonably request with respect thereto.

(A) own equity interests, indebtedness or other securities representing not more than five percent (5%) of the equity capital of a public entity that is engaged in the Restricted Healthcare Business, so long as the Restricted Party shall not be involved or associated with the management or policy making functions of such entity, including, but not limited to serving as a director on such entity’s board of directors or performing similar functions for such entity;

(B) engage in the business and activities conducted by any Restricted Party as of the Effective Date, all of which are listed in Schedule 4.09(a)(ii)(B); or

(C) own, operate or lease, directly or indirectly, Healthcare Assets acquired as a result of loss mitigation, foreclosure or similar activities in connection with or incidental to any of the Seller’s or any of the Sellers’ respective Affiliates’ investments in mortgage loans, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage-backed securities or other mortgage-related assets, all of which are listed in Schedule 4.09(a)(ii)(C).

It is recognized that the Restricted Business is expected to be conducted in the United States and that more narrow geographical limitations of any nature on this non-competition covenant (and the non-solicitation covenants set forth in Section 4.09(c)) are therefore not appropriate.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, assist or respond to the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the provision of property management, asset management or other advisory services to Mapletree, other than with respect to any properties or portfolios that a Restricted Party sells to Mapletree (a “Mapletree Management Proposal”), (ii) participate in, continue or cooperate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, any effort or attempt by any Person to make a Mapletree Management Proposal, (iii) enter into any agreement with respect to a Mapletree Management Proposal, or (iv) seek to induce or otherwise cause Mapletree or any of its affiliates, whether by contract or otherwise, to discontinue or alter its business relationship with the REIT or any of the REIT’s Affiliates in a manner that is adverse to the REIT or any of the REIT’s Affiliates.

(c) Each Restricted Party covenants that, during the Restricted Period, such Restricted Party shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit the employment or engagement of services of any Person who is, or was during the three-month period immediately prior to such solicitation, employed as an employee, contractor or consultant (other than, for the sake of clarity, any such consultant employed by such Restricted Party or its Affiliates) by the REIT or the OP or any of their subsidiaries (including Manager Sub) during such period on a full- or part-time basis. The foregoing shall not prohibit any general solicitation of employees, contractors or consultants or public advertising of employment opportunities (including through the use of employment agencies) not specifically directed at any such employees, contractors or consultants, nor shall it prohibit the Sellers or their Affiliates from hiring any such employee, contractor or consultant who

seeks employment or engagement with the Sellers or their Affiliates on his or her own initiative at any time after three months have elapsed since such individual served as an employee, contractor or consultant otherwise subject to this restriction, without any prior solicitation by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates.

(d) Each Restricted Party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 4.09 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the REIT and the OP and constitute a material inducement to the REIT and the OP to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions. Each Restricted Party acknowledges that any violation of this Section 4.09 may result in irreparable injury to the REIT or the OP and agrees that the REIT or the OP shall be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 4.09, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the REIT and the OP may be entitled.

(e) In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 4.09 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 4.09 and each provision thereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if there is a Change of Control Event, the provisions of this Section 4.09 will automatically terminate and have no further force or effect. “Change of Control Event” means (A) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the REIT or the OP, or (B) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the REIT, unless securities representing more than 50% of the total voting power after such merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Persons who beneficially owned the REIT’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction.

Section 4.10 EMPLOYEE MATTERS.

(a) No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, Manager Sub shall offer employment commencing as of the Closing to each Business Employee other than the individuals set forth on Schedule 4.10(a) pursuant to an offer letter that is acceptable to the REIT (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld). Each such Business Employee who accepts Manager Sub’s offer of employment pursuant to this Section 4.10(a) and who commences active employment with Manager Sub upon Closing shall be referred to herein as a “Continuing

Employee.” Contingent upon the Closing, the Sellers shall pay each Continuing Employee all earned wages and other compensation earned through his or her termination and will provide each such employee with all benefits to which the employee is or was entitled prior to or upon his or her termination date. The Sellers shall cause all personnel files relating to Continuing Employees to be transferred to the Manager Sub, or to a separate data location designated by the REIT or an Affiliate thereof. The Sellers agree to release each Continuing Employee from any agreements (including restrictive covenant agreements) that would in any way prohibit or restrict such Continuing Employee’s ability to work or perform activities for the REIT, the OP, Manager Sub or their respective Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, confers upon any Continuing Employee any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period.

(b) The Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall be solely responsible for, and shall satisfy and indemnify and hold harmless the REIT and its Affiliates in accordance with Section 5.02(c) and Section 5.02(g) and Section 5.04 through Section 5.10 from all obligations and liabilities accrued (or, as applicable, relating to services performed) through the Closing (and, for clarity as it relates to bonuses for the 2020 calendar year, such bonuses to the extent attributable to the period through the Closing) relating to the Continuing Employees, including (i) obligations under the Plans, (ii) payroll and fringe benefits, (iii) earned, but unpaid bonuses, bonuses for the 2020 calendar year, and incentive compensation, (iv) workers’ compensation, (v) premiums under insured Plans, and (vi) accrued but unused paid time off. Conversely, subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, the REIT or the OP shall be solely responsible for, and indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers in accordance with Section 5.03 and Section 5.04 through Section 5.10 from all such obligations and liabilities accrued at or after the Closing (or, as it relates to bonuses for the 2020 calendar year, such bonuses to the extent attributable to the period following the Closing) relating to the Continuing Employees. The Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall also be solely responsible for, and shall satisfy and indemnify and hold harmless the REIT and its Affiliates in accordance with Section 5.02(c) and Section 5.02(g) and Section 5.04 through Section 5.10 from, all obligations and liabilities relating to each (x) Plan that is not assigned to or otherwise assumed by Manager Sub, the REIT or an Affiliate thereof, (y) current or former employee, director or consultant of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates (including each Business Employee) who is not a Continuing Employee and (z) Continuing Employee to the extent the obligation or liability relates to or arises out of events occurring at or prior to Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.10(b) is intended to clarify the parties’ respective obligations relating to the subject matter described in this Section 4.10 and not to modify the parties’ respective obligations under the other fee and expense provisions in this Agreement.

(c) To the extent applicable to a Continuing Employee, (i) the Sellers or their respective Affiliates shall be responsible for providing continuation group health plan coverage in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) to each current or former employee of the Sellers (including Continuing Employees), and each spouse or dependent thereof, who qualifies as a “qualified beneficiary” or “M&A qualified beneficiary” (both, as defined by COBRA) at any time on or before Closing, and (ii) the REIT or the OP shall be responsible for providing COBRA continuation group health plan coverage to each Continuing Employee, and each spouse or dependent thereof, who qualifies as a “qualified beneficiary” or “M&A qualified beneficiary” (both, as defined by COBRA) at any time after Closing.

(d) None of the REIT, the OP or Manager Sub shall be obligated to continue or maintain any particular benefit or component of any Plan listed on Schedule 3.02(p), after the Closing, and nothing in this Agreement affects the REIT or the OP’s ability to amend or terminate any of their Plans at any time, in their sole discretion.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement is not intended to create a contract between the REIT, the OP, Manager Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Continuing Employee, on the other hand, and no Business Employee may rely on this Agreement as the basis for any breach of contract claim against the REIT, the OP or Manager Sub, (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to require the REIT, the OP or Manager Sub to continue to employ any particular Business Employee for any period after Closing, and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to limit the REIT, the OP or Manager Sub’s right to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee during any period after the Closing Date.

Section 4.11 DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS’ INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

(a) Without limiting any rights that any manager, director, executive officer or employee of CV Advisor, CVRMC II or of their Affiliates may have under any indemnification agreement or the Organizational Documents of CV Advisor or CVRMC II or as otherwise afforded by applicable Law, all of which shall survive the Closing, anything to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document notwithstanding, or under the Organizational Documents of the REIT or the OP, in addition to, and not in limitation of any other indemnity rights contained in any Transaction Document, from and after the Closing Date, the REIT and the OP shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the current or former managers, directors, officers or employees of CV Advisor and CVRMC II and their subsidiaries and Affiliates acting in their capacity as such, and Xxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx in their capacities as former directors of the REIT (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted under the Organizational Documents of CV Advisor or CVRMC II for acts or omissions by such D&O Indemnified Parties occurring prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Losses for which the D&O Indemnified Parties are liable pursuant to Section 5.02(d) (and the D&O Indemnified Parties shall be liable for any such Losses in accordance with the REIT Advisory Agreement, the REIT Property Management Agreements and Section 5.02(d)).

(b) As of the Closing Date, the REIT or the OP shall have obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, effective for a period of six years after the Closing Date, reasonably satisfactory to CVRMC II (the “D&O Tail Policy”) on terms not less favorable than the terms of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage obtained by the REIT as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date with respect to the D&O Indemnified Parties, providing insurance coverage to the D&O Indemnified Parties in connection with the Business with respect to claims arising from, or related to facts or events which occurred at or before, the Closing Date. The D&O Tail Policy Expenses shall be borne in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 4.12 R&W INSURANCE POLICY. The REIT shall take all action required of it in the R&W Insurance Binder in order for the R&W Insurance Policy to be bound as of the date hereof and to be issued at the Closing (including issuing any “claims declarations” or similar certificates with such exceptions as may be appropriate). The R&W Insurance Policy shall include a full and complete waiver of all rights of subrogation and any form of recourse or right of action against the Sellers, except to the extent arising from (a) fraud by the Sellers, (b) any deductible or retention amount payable under the R&W Insurance Policy and (c) any breach of this Agreement that is not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy. During the term of the R&W Insurance Policy, the REIT (y) shall maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect (or shall cause an appropriate Affiliate to do the same) and (z) shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate of the REIT to, amend, repeal or modify any provision of the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner that would adversely affect the Sellers without Sellers’ prior express written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

Section 4.13 PUBLICITY. So long as this Agreement is in effect, each of the parties hereto shall consult with each other and give each other and the Special Committee a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, any press release or other public statement with respect to the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to obtaining the consent of the other parties (provided that the consent of the Seller Representative shall be deemed consent on behalf of all Sellers), except as may be required by applicable Law, duties under applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with a national securities exchange. Notwithstanding this Section 4.13, no party shall be required to consult or obtain the consent of the other parties prior to making statements that are consistent with any previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by any Seller or the REIT in compliance with this Section 4.13.

Section 4.14 USE OF NAME.

(a) Except as provided under the Trademark License Agreement, the REIT and the OP agree that from and after the Closing Date, neither the REIT nor the OP nor any of their Affiliates will directly or indirectly use in connection with any business activities any Xxxx that includes the name “Xxxxxx Validus” or any derivation thereof or any word or logo that is confusingly similar in sound or appearance thereto and used or otherwise exploited by any Seller on or before the Closing Date. The REIT and the OP, each on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, shall perform all actions necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 4.14, including changing the name of the REIT, the OP and any of their Affiliates, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date.

(b) This Section 4.14 is not intended to and shall not preclude or limit any use of names or marks by the REIT, the OP and their Affiliates (including Manager Sub) that are required by applicable Law, not in commerce or are references in archival, internal or other non-public systems, software or materials, or historical, Tax or similar records, to the extent that such use would not otherwise constitute a violation of any Seller and its Affiliates’ rights in the name “Xxxxxx Validus” under applicable Law.

Section 4.15 VALIDUS GROUP ACTIONS. As of the Effective Date and until the expiration of the latest survival period of the representations and warranties of Validus Group, as set forth in Section 5.01, Validus Group shall not take any actions outside the ordinary course of business that would or would reasonably be expected to materially impair its ability to satisfy any and all of its indemnification obligations that may arise pursuant to Article 5 and are not otherwise covered by the R&W Insurance Policy. At all times prior to the Closing Date, Validus Group shall maintain a tangible net worth (as would be calculated in accordance with GAAP) in excess of $10 million. Prior to the Closing Date, Validus Group shall use its best efforts to enter into such documentation reasonably satisfactory to the REIT and the OP to cause any Indebtedness of Validus Group that is held by a member of Validus Group to be subordinated to the indemnification obligations of Validus Group under this Agreement.

Section 4.16 REIT ADVISORY AGREEMENT. The REIT, the OP and CV Advisor agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the REIT Advisory Agreement, all fees and expenses payable by the REIT or the OP to CV Advisor pursuant to the REIT Advisory Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date through (but not including) the Closing Date (the “Interim Advisory Fees”) shall equal the sum of (i) the Asset Management Fees (as defined in the REIT Advisory Agreement and payable pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the REIT Advisory Agreement), (ii) the Disposition Fees (as defined in the REIT Advisory Agreement and payable pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the REIT Advisory Agreement) solely in connection with completed dispositions or sales of assets of the REIT prior to or within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date that were under contract or letter of intent for sale as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that to the extent that such dispositions or sales of assets of the REIT are completed within the thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the associated Disposition Fees shall be paid to the Sellers at the time each disposition or sale of assets of the REIT is completed, and (iii) the expense reimbursements pursuant to Section 3.02 of the REIT Advisory Agreement; provided, however, no Disposition Fees shall be payable to CV Advisor in connection with the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the REIT’s data center properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.16 shall have no force or effect if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing.

Section 4.17 NON-SOLICITATION BY REIT PARTIES.

(a) Each of the REIT and the OP covenants that, during the Restricted Period, such party shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates (including Manager Sub) not to, solicit the employment or engagement of services of any Person who is, or was during the three-month period immediately prior to such solicitation, employed as an employee, contractor or consultant by any of the Restricted Parties or their Affiliates during such period on a full- or part-time basis (other than the Business Employees). The foregoing shall not prohibit any general solicitation of employees, contractors or consultants or public advertising of employment opportunities (including through the use of employment

agencies) not specifically directed at any such employees, contractors or consultants, nor shall it prohibit the REIT, the OP or their Affiliates from hiring any such employee, contractor or consultant who seeks employment or engagement with the REIT, the OP or their Affiliates on his or her own initiative at any time after three months have elapsed since such individual served as an employee, contractor or consultant otherwise subject to this restriction, without any prior solicitation by the REIT, the OP or any of their Affiliates.

(b) Each of the REIT and the OP acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 4.17 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Restricted Parties and constitute a material inducement to the Restricted Parties to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions. Each of the REIT and the OP acknowledges that any violation of this Section 4.17 may result in irreparable injury to any of the Restricted Parties and agrees that any of the Restricted Parties shall be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 4.17, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Restricted Parties may be entitled.

Section 4.18 MAPLETREE ASSET AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES. In the event that Mapletree fails to pay to the REIT or its applicable Affiliate the Mapletree Asset and Property Management Fees within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, CVAPMC shall refund in full the REIT the Mapletree Asset and Property Management Fees advanced to CVAPMC pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(i)(H).

Section 4.19 REIT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT FEES. In the event that the Closing does not occur on or prior to September 30, 2020, the REIT and the OP shall pay to the applicable Sellers any Additional CV Advisor Fees.

Section 4.20 SELLER ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS POST-CLOSING. Each Seller may, following the Closing Date, request any document (including electronic files) included in the Transferred Assets by submitting a written request to the REIT (a) identifying such document with reasonable specificity and (b) stating the purpose of such Seller’s request. If such Seller’s request for a document under this Section 4.20 is in response to or in support of a bona fide request from a Governmental Authority or an Action brought against such Seller by a third party or by such Seller against a third party, the REIT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate the requested document and provide such Seller with a copy of such document within thirty (30) days following the REIT’s receipt of such Seller’s request for such document. If such Seller requests a document under this Section 4.20 for any purpose other than those set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the REIT shall locate and provide a copy of such document in its sole discretion and may deny such requests for any reason or no reason. If, in connection with this Section 4.20, the REIT provides such Seller with a copy of a document, such document (and any information contained therein) will be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 4.06 of this Agreement and such Seller shall receive and use any such document, including any personal information contained in such document, in compliance with all applicable Laws, rules, and regulations. Upon having completed its use of any documents for the purpose stated in such Seller’s written request, such Seller shall promptly destroy any copies of such documents received by it. Notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this Section 4.20, the REIT shall be under no obligation to maintain or preserve any documents included in the Transferred Assets beyond the period described in Section 4.07 and may delete or otherwise dispose of any such documents in its sole discretion after the expiration of such period.

Xxxxxx and CVA Holdings II as a “Seller” for purposes of this Section 5.01), Manager Sub, the REIT and the OP contained in this Agreement will survive until 18 months after the Closing Date, provided, that the Seller Fundamental Representations, the Business and Manager Sub Fundamental Representations and the REIT Fundamental Representations shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations plus 60 days with respect to the matters addressed in such representations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a claim given in good faith in accordance with this Article 5 in respect of a representation or warranty on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty ceases to survive shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the survival period, and may be pursued thereafter without regard to such expiration.

(b) any failure by a Seller duly and timely to perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements required to be performed by it under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that such failure results from any act or omission of the REIT or the OP; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Restricted Party shall be solely liable for a breach caused by such Restricted Party of a covenant contained in Section 4.09, and no Seller other than a Restricted Party who caused such breach shall be liable for any such breach; provided further, that Validus Group shall be solely liable for any breach of Section 4.15.

(d) any act or omission for which any Seller or Manager Sub (or any of their respective Affiliates) would be required to provide indemnity to the REIT under the REIT Advisory Agreement and the REIT Property Management Agreements as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (regardless of whether such agreements remain in effect, in accordance with the indemnification provisions of such agreements, and not subject to the limitations with respect to survival periods or amounts as provided in Section 5.02 and Section 5.04 of this Agreement), to the extent such act or omission preceded the Closing;

(e) any liability, whether or not accrued, assessed or currently due and payable, for any Taxes of any Seller or any Affiliate thereof, regardless of any investigation or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the REIT Indemnified Parties at any time (whether before or after the Effective Date or the Closing Date), with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 5.02(e) shall include all reasonable audit and other Tax proceeding costs related to the foregoing Taxes to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of any Seller or are directly attributable to any attempt to preserve the Intended Tax Treatment;

(f) any liability, whether or not accrued, assessed or currently due and payable, for (A) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to Manager Sub for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (B) any Taxes resulting from any transfer of assets or interests pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), regardless of any investigation or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the REIT Indemnified Parties at any time (whether before or after the Effective Date or the Closing Date), with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 5.02(f) shall include all reasonable audit and other Tax proceeding costs related to the foregoing Taxes to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of any Seller or are directly attributable to any attempt to preserve the Intended Tax Treatment;

Xxxxxx and CVA Holdings II, and each of their respective successors and the respective stockholders, members, managers, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents of each such indemnified Person (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that may be asserted against, or paid, suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, based upon or relating to any failure by the REIT or the OP duly and timely to perform or fulfill the covenants or agreements required to be performed by them under this Agreement or the Trademark License Agreement.

Xxxxxx, and CVA Holdings II as a “Seller”) (or particular Sellers) with respect Section 3.01, such Seller (or Sellers) shall be jointly and severally liable to the REIT or the OP for any such Losses; (ii) in the event that the REIT or the OP suffers any Losses as a result of fraud committed by a Seller (or particular Sellers) with respect to Section 3.02, such Seller (or Sellers) shall be severally, but not jointly, liable to the REIT or the OP for any such Losses; provided, however, that no Seller shall be liable to the REIT or the OP for any Losses as a result of fraud that is committed by any party other than a Seller.

Section 5.05 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES; THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. All claims for indemnification by any Person seeking indemnification under this Article 5 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) If an Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under this Article 5, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, indicating with reasonable particularity the nature of such claim and provide the Indemnifying Party with such additional relevant information in the Indemnified Party’s possession that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice will not affect any rights hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If such claim involves a Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and information, and upon notice to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, assume the settlement or defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the settlement or defense of such claim and the Indemnified Party determines reasonably and in good faith that representation by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel; provided, that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if the defense and conduct of the Third Party Claim is handled by the R&W Insurer pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any Third Party Claim in good faith in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5.05(b), the Indemnifying

Party shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder that imposes solely monetary obligations that are paid by the Indemnifying Party, does not contain a finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability thereunder; provided, that to the extent that such settlement requires the Indemnified Party to take, or prohibits the Indemnified Party from taking, any action or purports to obligate the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any such claim in good faith in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5.05(b), the Indemnified Party shall: (i) not pay or settle any such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (ii) cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the settlement and defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to join in or assume the defense of the claim pursuant to the foregoing provisions or is entitled but does not contest such claim in good faith (including if it does not notify the Indemnified Party of the assumption of the defense of such claim within the thirty (30) day period set forth above), then the Indemnified Party may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate reasonably with it in connection therewith. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.05, the failure of the Indemnified Party to participate in, conduct or control such defense shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation it may have hereunder. Any costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the investigation and defense of such claim (including, without limitation, reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnified Party shall be paid as incurred, promptly against delivery of reasonably detailed invoices therefor.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.05(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) cause, or agree to, the waiver of the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection in respect of confidential legal memoranda and other privileged materials drafted by, or otherwise reflecting the legal advice of, internal or outside counsel of an Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim (the “Subject Materials”). Each party hereto mutually acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that (i) each shares a common legal interest in preparing for the defense of legal proceedings, or potential legal proceedings, arising out of, relating to or in respect of any actual or threatened Third Party Claim or any related claim or counterclaim, (ii) the sharing of Subject Materials will further such common legal interest and (iii) by disclosing any Subject Materials to and/or sharing any Subject Materials with the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not waive the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection. The Indemnified Party shall not be required to make available to the Indemnifying Party any information that is subject to an attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege that based on the advice of outside counsel would be impaired by such disclosure or any confidentiality restriction under applicable Law.

Section 5.06 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Subject to Section 5.09(b), all Losses due and payable from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days following final determination of a claim pursuant to Section 5.05, provided, however, that if such Indemnifying Party is any Seller Validus Group, Xxxx X. Xxxxxx or CVA Holdings II, and if such Indemnified Party is the REIT or the OP, all amounts due and payable from such Indemnifying Party shall be satisfied by first reducing the amount of unpaid Deferred Cash Consideration at the time of final determination of a claim pursuant to Section 5.05 by such amount due and payable. In the event that such amount due and payable is greater than the amount of unpaid Deferred Cash Consideration at the time of final determination of a claim, such Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the difference between the amount of unpaid Deferred Cash Consideration at the time of final determination and such amount due and payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days following final determination of a claim.

Section 5.07 CHARACTER OF INDEMNITY PAYMENTS. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made with respect to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to or refund of the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law (including by a determination of a Tax Authority that, under applicable Law, is not subject to further review or appeal).

Section 5.08 EFFECT OF INVESTIGATION. The representations, warranties and covenants of an Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 2.02(b)(i) or Section 2.02(b)(ii), as the case may be.

Section 5.09 REMEDIES.

(a) Each of the Parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of each other party hereto in the event that (i) all conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b)(i), Section 2.02(b)(ii) or Section 2.02(b)(iii), as applicable, have been satisfied or waived by the party seeking injunctive or other equitable relief hereunder (other than those conditions that by their terms or their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being satisfied or waived assuming a Closing would occur), and (ii) any party fails to complete the Closing by the Outside Date.

(b) Except for claims based on fraud or claims for equitable relief, following the Closing, the rights of the parties for indemnification relating to breaches of this Agreement shall be limited to those contained in this Article 5 and such indemnification rights shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties with respect to breaches of this

Agreement (other than for claims based on fraud and claims for equitable relief); provided that, recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy (after any deductible or retained amount under the R&W Insurance Policy is paid by the Sellers) shall be the sole recourse of the REIT Indemnified Parties with respect to any claims that are covered under the R&W Insurance Policy (other than for claims based on fraud and claims for equitable relief). For the avoidance of doubt, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this Article 5), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of the REIT Indemnified Parties to make claims or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy; it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 5.10 SUBROGATION/INSURANCE. If an Indemnified Party recovers Losses from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such recovery, to the Indemnified Party’s rights against any third party (including any employees) with respect to such recovered Losses, subject to the subrogation rights of any insurer providing insurance coverage under one of the Indemnified Party’s policies and except to the extent that the grant of subrogation rights to the Indemnifying Party is prohibited by the terms of the applicable insurance policy. With respect to any rights of any Indemnifying Party (including any employees) against a third party to which an Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve any rights that such Indemnifying Parties may have to make claims against third parties (including under applicable insurance policies) and the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties shall cooperate with and assist the other in issuing notices of claims to such third parties, presenting claims for payment and collecting proceeds related thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any Losses of any Person under this Article 5 shall be net of the amount, if any, received by the Indemnified Party (after deducting all costs and expenses associated with recovering such amount) from any third party (including any insurance company or other insurance provider).

ARTICLE 6

TERMINATION

Section 6.01 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by:

(a) the mutual written agreement of the REIT and the Seller Representative;

(b) either the REIT or the Seller Representative, if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Authority shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or taken any other action, in each case, permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting all or any portion of the Transactions and such statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

(c) either the REIT or the Seller Representative, in the event: (i) of a material breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating party if such non-terminating party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notification thereof by the terminating party; or (ii) that the satisfaction of any condition to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement becomes impossible, but only if the failure of such condition to be satisfied does not result from a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party or its Affiliates; and

(d) either the REIT or the Seller Representative, in the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Effective Date (the “Outside Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date is a result of (i) a Force Majeure Event; provided, however, that if a Force Majeure Event has occurred, then the Outside Date may be extended by 60 days by any party to this Agreement; or (ii) a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.01(d) shall not be available, as applicable, to (A) the Seller Representative, in the event that all conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b)(i) and Section 2.02(b)(iii) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms or their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being satisfied or waived assuming a Closing would occur) or (B) the REIT, in the event that all conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b)(ii) and Section 2.02(b)(iii) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms or their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being satisfied or waived assuming a Closing would occur).

Section 6.02 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 6.01, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and have no further effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, stockholders, partners or members, other than the provisions of this Section 6.02 and Article 7 hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.

Section 7.02 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement (together with any exhibits and schedules and the other Transaction Documents) contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the Transactions and shall supersede all previous oral and written agreements and all contemporaneous oral negotiations, commitments and understandings between the parties. This Agreement may be amended, changed, terminated or modified only by agreement in writing duly authorized (which authorization on behalf of the REIT or the OP shall include approval of a majority of the independent directors of the REIT Board) and executed by all of the parties; provided, however, that each Seller (including, for the purposes of this Section 7.02, each of Validus Group, Xxxx X.

Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xx. as a “Seller”) shall be deemed to have authorized and executed any such writing that is executed by the Seller Representative and each other party shall be entitled to rely upon the execution of such writing by the Seller Representative by and on behalf of each Seller, other than a writing that would have a disproportionately adverse effect on such Seller.

Section 7.03 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and the rights under this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the foregoing, the covenants, agreements, rights and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns of the parties hereto and all Persons or entities claiming by, through or under any of them.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of actions (whether at law, in equity, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of Laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware).

(b) All legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located within Florida. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within Florida, for the purpose of any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions brought by any party; (ii) agrees not to commence any such legal proceeding except in such courts; (iii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such legal proceeding may be heard and

determined in any state or federal court located within Florida; (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such legal proceeding; and (v) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such legal proceeding. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any such legal proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 7.06 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, collectively, shall constitute one (1) agreement.

Section 7.07 CONSTRUCTION OF AGREEMENT. No party, or its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions of this Agreement, and all language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party.

Section 7.08 NO WAIVER. A waiver by any party hereto of a breach of or failure to perform any of the covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions in this Agreement to be performed by any other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of or failure to perform the same or other covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions of this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless duly authorized (which authorization, relating to the REIT or the OP, shall include approval of a majority of the independent directors of the Board of Directors of the REIT) and memorialized in a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be effective.

Section 7.09 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other portion of this Agreement shall become illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, or shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, the remaining portions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in force and effect to the full extent permissible by Law.

Section 7.10 HEADINGS. The headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Licensors shall have the right to request in writing that Licensees or any of their Affiliates cease a particular use of any trademark, service xxxx, term, name, logo, symbol, device, or trade dress, or any combination thereof, which features the Marks, and, if in Licensors’ reasonable judgment such use, component or feature would materially denigrate or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Xxxx, Licensees and their Affiliates must comply with such request within ten (10) days.

D - 5

10)

LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

11)

NOTICES

Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in the manner, and to such addresses of the parties, specified in the Purchase Agreement.

SEVERABILITY

In the event that any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other portion of this Agreement shall become illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, or shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, the remaining portions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in force and effect to the full extent permissible by law.

15)

Immediately following the Assignment, a subsidiary of the REIT will acquire all of the membership interests in Assignee, and Assignee will become a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the REIT (collectively with the Assignment, the “Transaction”), effective as of the consummation of the Internalization (the “Closing”).

Paragraph 11 of the Lease requires Assignor to provide 30 days prior notice to Landlord of an assignment of the Lease to an affiliate of the tenant or in connection with the acquisition of all of the ownership interests of the tenant. By this letter and pursuant to the Lease, Assignor is providing formal notice of the Transaction.

In addition, Assignor and Assignee have agreed that the Security Deposit (as defined in the Lease) paid to you by Assignor will be transferred to Assignee and will remain in place for the benefit of Assignee in connection with the Assignment.
