Seller and Buyer hereby release the other and such party’s members, partners, stockholders, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from, and covenant not to xxx any of them for, any such special, exemplary, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, or loss of profits.

In the event that the Lender does not approve the transaction as contemplated by this Agreement and Jackson Place and PPLP, as sellers, and Buyer, as buyer, fail to execute such a purchase and sale agreement by the Outside Date , the resulting termination of this Agreement will not: (i) affect or alter the applicable seller’s or buyer’s obligations relating to any Other Property Transactions pursuant to the Other Property Transaction Agreements, or (ii) permit either Seller, Buyer or any party to the Other Property Transaction Agreements to terminate any Other Transactions based upon the provisions of this subsection.]

12.16 Exhibits. All appendixes, schedules or exhibits referred to herein or attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference.
12.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple copies, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one Agreement binding on all Parties.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or Closing and shall not merge into any deed delivered and accepted upon Closing.
12.21 Waiver of Jury Trial. Seller and Buyer each hereby knowingly and unconditionally, with advice of counsel, waive any and all right to demand a jury trial in any action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.
12.22 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms
36
hereof and that, subject to the terms of this Section 12.22, each of the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof pursuant to this Section 12.22, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.4 and this Section 12.22, Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Seller and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 12.22 or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer’s right to specific performance to require Seller to consummate the Closing shall remain subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the applicable Party) of the conditions to Closing hereunder, expressly including, without limitation, the simultaneous consummation of all of the Other Transactions that are scheduled to close on or prior to the Closing Date and that have not otherwise previously been consummated in accordance with their terms and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any of the Other Transactions have not previously closed or are not closing simultaneously with a Closing hereunder for any reason other than a breach by Seller thereunder, Buyer shall not be entitled to specific performance to require Seller to consummate the Closing. In such a case referenced in the immediately preceding sentence where Buyer is entitled to specific performance, Seller specifically agrees that the remedy of specific performance is a reasonable and appropriate remedy for Buyer, and Seller waives and agrees not to assert any claim or defense that specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for Buyer. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that prior to Closing, Seller shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief only to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent breaches of, Sections 11.3, 12.2 and 12.23 by Buyer. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in each case this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may make such disclosure as it determines in good faith is required by applicable Law or Order, or by an obligation pursuant to any agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities association of the United States or any other jurisdiction, provided that, prior to issuing any such press release or public statement, such Party shall advise the other Party of such press release or public statement and shall discuss the contents of the disclosure.
(b) Each Party shall require its Representatives not to make any disclosure about this Agreement or the Transaction that such Party is not permitted to make pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13
LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE
13.1 Like-Kind Exchange. Any of the Parties hereto may desire, and each other party is willing to cooperate (subject to the limitations set forth below), to effectuate the sale or purchase of the Project by means of a like kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Each party expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a qualified intermediary on or before the date of Closing. Upon written notice from any party (a “Requesting Party”) to the other, the party to whom such notice is given (the “Other Party”) agrees to cooperate with the Requesting Party to effect a like-kind exchange with respect to the Project, provided that such cooperation shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) such exchange shall not delay the Closing and shall occur either simultaneously with the Closing or the purchase money proceeds payable to Seller shall upon Seller’s prior written direction to Buyer, be paid to a third party escrow agent or intermediary such that Buyer shall not be required to participate in any subsequent closing, (b) the Other Party shall not be obligated to incur any expenses in excess of the expenses which would have been incurred if there had been no exchange, and (c) Buyer shall not be obligated to acquire or accept title to any property other than the Project, and Seller shall not be obligated to acquire or accept title to any property. The Other Party agrees to acknowledge, prior to the time of Closing, the foregoing assignment by the Requesting Party. Such cooperation shall extend both to a forward and a reverse Section 1031 exchange. The Other Party makes no representation or warranty that the conveyance of any property made pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall qualify for a like-kind exchange. Once Buyer has paid the purchase money proceeds as directed by Seller (if Seller is the Requesting Party), or Seller has conveyed the Project as directed by Buyer (if Buyer is the Requesting Party), the Other Party shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such like-kind exchange. The Requesting Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Other Party harmless from and against any costs, liabilities and expenses incurred or suffered by the Other Party in connection with a like-kind exchange, which indemnity shall survive the Closing until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations.

The Jackson portfolio must close simultaneously; provided the Buyer shall not be required to close the acquisition of the 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, which is a stand-alone transaction.

In the event that the Lender does not approve the transaction and assumption of the existing debt and the release of Seller and its affiliates from any future obligation thereunder with respect to the UBS Building and River Oaks Place and therefore no closing occurs with respect thereto, the failure to close those Transactions will not alter the Seller or Buyer’s obligation relating to any of the Other Property Transactions.
