ARTICLE IV

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the conditions to Closing for Purchaser under this Section 4.1 or any of the conditions to Closing for Seller under Section 4.2 are not satisfied as a result of a default by Purchaser or Seller, then their respective rights, remedies and obligations shall be governed in accordance with Article XII.

(a) Performance by Seller. Seller’s performance in all material respects of the obligations, covenants and deliveries required of Seller under this Agreement.

(b) Seller’s Deliveries. Seller’s delivery at Closing of the following, all documents to be executed originals and, if applicable, witnessed and properly acknowledged (the Closing Documents”):

(i) Limited or special warranty deeds (as applicable in each jurisdiction) from each entity constituting Seller as to the portion of the Property each such entity owns in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (with respect to the Land located in Georgia) and Exhibit D-1 (with respect to the Land located in North Carolina), subject to the following matters (collectively, the “Deed”):

(A) Non-delinquent real property taxes, water and sewer charges and all assessments (governmental and private) and unpaid installments thereof which are not yet due and payable, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 below;

(B) Any matter (including any lien, encumbrance or easement) voluntarily imposed or consented to in writing by Purchaser prior to or as of the Closing;

(C) Laws and governmental regulations, including all building codes, zoning regulations and ordinances, that affect the use, operation and maintenance of the Property, and any violations thereof;

(D) Such state of facts as may be shown on an accurate and current survey or by inspection of the Property;

(E) Variations between locations of fences, retaining walls, guy poles, xxxxxx, treelines and shrubs;

(F) Rights of tenants, as tenants only, of the Land and Improvements under the terms and conditions of all Leases with Purchaser hereby acknowledging that Purchaser has examined such Leases; and

(G) the Permitted Exceptions, as defined in Section 8.1.

(ii) An Assignment and Assumption of Ground Leases (with respect to the 000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Assignment of Ground Leases”);

(iii) The Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit F (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”);

(iv) The Leases, together with any letters of credit held as security deposits under any of the Leases and all instruments reasonably required to transfer such letters of credit to Purchaser;

(v) The Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G that Seller is not a “foreign person”;

(vi) An Assistant Secretary’s Certificate evidencing the authority of individuals to execute any instruments executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, together with a certificate of good standing of Seller;

(vii) The Xxxx of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H;

(viii) A closing statement in form and content satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (the “Closing Statement”) signed by Seller;

(ix) All keys and lock combinations for the Property and all leasing and other files relating to the Property and all other licenses, certificates, permits, plans, books, records and reports and other materials that comprise the Intangible Property, to the extent such items are in Seller’s actual possession or control;

(x) At least three (3) business days prior to closing Seller must have delivered to Purchaser original tenant estoppel certificates executed by tenants under existing Leases from the following tenants of the Improvements: (1) Albemarle, (2) CapFinancial, (3) Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, (4) Xxxxx Fargo (f/k/a Wachovia Bank, N.A.), (5) AgData, (6) Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, (7) US Attorney’s Office, (8) Garretson, (9) Discovery Education, and (10) X.X. Xxxxxx (collectively, the “Major Tenants”) and from a sufficient number of other tenants of the Improvements (the “Minor Tenants”) so that estoppel certificates are received from tenants leasing no less than seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate area leased in the Improvements, exclusive of any parking leases (the “Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates”). Each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate (1) will be on the form attached to the applicable Lease, if any, or if there is no form attached to the Lease, then will be substantially on the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (provided, however, if any Lease limits the provisions to be included in any estoppel certificate, the form shall be modified accordingly); and (2) will not have been modified in any substantive, adverse manner. The addition of a knowledge qualification or other non-material change to an estoppel certificate will not cause such tenant estoppel certificate to fail to satisfy the requirements for an acceptable Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Seller, at its sole option, may elect to satisfy part of the requirements under this Section 4.1(b)(x) by delivery of a Seller estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (a “Seller Estoppel Certificate”) for up to ten percent (10%) of the leased square footage of the Improvement leased by Minor Tenants whose Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates have not been received by Closing. Any Seller Estoppel Certificate delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be subject to all terms and conditions of Sections 15.15 and 15.21 of this Agreement. If Seller or Purchaser subsequently obtains a Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 4.1(b)(x) hereof, from a tenant for which Seller has delivered a Seller Estoppel Certificate, the delivered Seller Estoppel Certificate will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate in its place. In the event Seller fails, for any reason, to deliver to the Purchaser the required number of Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(b)(x) prior to the Closing, then Seller will not be deemed in default hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Title Company will return the Deposit to Purchaser, and both parties will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive Closing or other termination of this Agreement. Seller will deliver to Purchaser a draft of each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate for Purchaser’s review and approval prior to Seller’s delivery thereof to the tenants. Seller agrees to request a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from each of the tenants under the Leases and to diligently pursue the execution and delivery thereof, provided, Seller shall not be required to pay any money or xxx any tenant to procure a Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. If Seller has not delivered the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates prior to Closing, Seller may, at Seller’s option, elect to: (i) adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) business days to allow Seller to continue its efforts to obtain the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates to satisfy.

RISK OF LOSS

If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing then promptly after Seller becomes aware of the damage or destruction Seller will notify Purchaser thereof (the “Damage Notice”). If the cost of repair is less than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, repairs will, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, take less than six (6) months to effectuate, and no Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such “minor casualty” which has not been waived, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, that Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from such casualty damage and pay to Purchaser any deductible due under Seller’s insurance policy(ies) less the costs of collection.

If neither party terminates this Agreement within the 10-day period, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction and Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from the casualty and credit to Purchaser any applicable deductible amounts under the insurance policies.

(b) If the Taking is not a Material Taking or if it is a Material Taking and Purchaser does not give Seller a Taking Notice in accordance with Section 9.2(a), Purchaser will complete the transaction contemplated hereby without abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all rights, if any, to receive the award payable as a result of such proceeding.

Purchaser will be deemed to have approved commencement of proceedings if Purchaser fails to respond within three (3) business days after Purchaser receives written notice of Seller’s intent to commence proceedings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to prosecute (with Purchaser’s reasonable cooperation after Closing, at no expense or liability to Purchaser) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to Closing provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property.

income and the burden of expenses for the Closing Date and thereafter (provided, however, that in the event that any of the Leases or subleases, if any, covering all or part of the Property provide that the tenants or subtenants thereunder are responsible for direct payment of any of the expenses and the tenants or subtenants are current with respect to such direct payment obligations, such expenses shall not be apportioned as between Seller and Purchaser):

The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

11.3 Rents.

(a) Purchaser shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price for all prepaid Rents, if any, paid by any tenants. Rents under the Leases will be adjusted and prorated on an “if as and when collected” basis. If, on the Closing Date, there are any unpaid rents for the month of Closing or past due Rents owing by any tenant for any prior period (including, without limitation, any deferred rent scheduled to be received after Closing which relates to a period prior Closing), Rents collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date from such tenants will be applied first, to the month of the Closing; second, to amounts due Purchaser for periods following the month in which the Closing occurred; third, to amounts due Seller for the month prior to Closing; and fourth, to amounts due Seller for periods prior to the month before the

Closing occurred. The party receiving such amount shall pay to the other party the portion to which it is entitled, within ten (10) days of its receipt of same.

(b) Supplementing subsection (a) above, additional or escalation rent based upon: (x) a percentage of sales or (y) tenant’s share of real estate taxes, operating expenses, labor costs, costs of living indices or xxxxxx’x wages (collectively, “Overage Rent”) shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis. The following shall apply to the extent Overage Rent is billed on the basis of Landlord’s estimates or an annual budget, which is subject to subsequent reconciliation and readjustment with each such tenant at the end of the applicable year:

(i) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2021, with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2021. Such reconciliation statement shall be based on the actual calendar year 2021 property tax bills and operating expenses. With respect to Overage Rent for the 2021 calendar year, to the extent the reconciliations indicate a net amount owed to Seller, Purchaser shall give Seller a credit at Closing in the amount of such of net amount, and to the extent the reconciliations indicate a net amount owed to the tenants, Seller shall give Purchaser a credit in the amount of such net amount. In either case, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for collecting any such net amounts owed from tenants or returning any net amounts owed to tenants in accordance with terms of the applicable Leases.

(ii) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2021 through the end of the calendar month preceding the Closing Date (or the most recent month for which a reconciliation is available if a reconciliation is not yet available for the calendar month preceding the Closing Date), with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2021. Such reconciliation statement shall be based on the actual calendar year 2020, property tax bills and the actual operating expenses for 2021 and indicate any difference between the Overage Rent paid by the tenants (based on Seller’s annual 2021 budget for real estate taxes and operating expenses) and the amount that should have been paid by the tenants through the Closing Date (based on the actual expenses covering such time period);

(iii) If the Seller has collected more on account of such Overage Rent than such actual amount for such time period (with it being acknowledged that such calculation shall be made only with respect to actually collected Overage Rent sums for such time period, and not any such sums that may be so receivable from tenants), then the amount of such difference shall be credited to Purchaser at the Closing;

(iv) If Seller has collected less from the tenants for Overage Rents than the actual amounts for such time period, then the amount of such under-collected rents shall be paid and delivered to Seller;

(v) Any Seller proposed prorations relating to Overage Rent shall be subject to Purchaser’s review and reasonable approval.

11.4 Security Deposits. All security deposits made by any of the tenants of the Property now held by Seller, including without limitation the security deposits as shown on Exhibit B-1, or received by Seller prior to Closing, will be turned over or credited to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller is holding any Security Deposits in the form of letters of credit, Purchaser will not receive a credit for such Security Deposits. Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless and free from any liability with respect to security deposits turned over or credited to Purchaser and such hold harmless will include any security deposits in the form of letters of credit which are transferred to Purchaser. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause Security Deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit or other instrument to be transferred or re-issued to Purchaser, and, until such transfer or re-issuance, Seller shall, as Purchaser’s agent and at its request, draw on any letter of credit in accordance with the applicable Lease and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser makes such a request, and Seller effects a draw on the letter of credit and delivers the applicable proceeds to Purchaser, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any claims arising therefrom, including any assertion by a tenant that such draw was wrongful or a breach of the applicable lease, which indemnification shall be inclusive of reasonable attorney’s fees. Any out-of-pocket expense incurred by Seller in such cooperation shall be promptly reimbursed by Purchaser (including the costs and expenses resulting from the transfer of the security deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit). The indemnity provided by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

11.5 Existing Debt. (i) Seller shall be responsible for all principal required to be paid under the terms of each Existing Debt promissory note prior to the Cut Off Time, together with all interest accrued under, and any other amounts due and payable under, such Existing Debt prior to the Cut Off Time (excluding any Existing Debt Fees, which shall be the obligation of Purchaser), and (ii) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all principal required to be paid from and after the Cut Off Time, together with all interest accruing under, and any other amounts due and payable under, each Existing Debt from and after the Cut Off Time. Further, if the Existing Debt Assumption and Release occurs at Closing pursuant to Section 4.4, Seller shall be credited for and Purchaser shall be charged for all amounts held in reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Existing Debt as of the Cut Off Time, to the extent assigned to Purchaser.

11.6 Mezzanine Loan Prorations. Seller shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price equal to (i) the amount of any accrued and unpaid Current Interest (as defined in Section 5.1(a) of that certain Mezzanine Loan Agreement by and between 8West Holdings Mezz Member, LLC, and 8 West, dated as of November 30, 2018, as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto, dated as of July 12, 2019, but made effective as of June 30, 2019, that evidences the Mezzanine Loan the “Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) outstanding on the Mezzanine Loan which

is applicable to the period prior to Closing, plus (ii) the amount of the Accrued Interest (as defined in Section 5.1(a) the Mezzanine Loan Agreement) accruing during the period between the originally scheduled Closing Date and any later Closing Date that actually occurs under the terms of this Agreement in the event that the originally scheduled Closing Date is extended, plus (iii) the amount of any mezzanine loan principal advanced under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and the Accrued Interest that has accrued thereon during the period between the date of such advance and the Closing Date.

11.7 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under this Article, then Purchaser and Seller shall re-prorate such items on a fair and equitable basis on or before the later of (x) ninety (90) days after Closing or (y) thirty (30) days after the date that Seller and Purchaser are able to determine 2021 calendar year property taxes, which proration shall be based on 100% of the assessed value; provided, however, if Purchaser elects to contest the property taxes for calendar year 2021, there shall be a final re-proration within thirty (30) days of receipt of the final 2021 calendar year property taxes. Such final re-proration shall be based on 100% of the final tax bills following the resolution of any such appeal. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of its election to appeal the calendar year 2021 real estate taxes and shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the progress of any appeal, including the final resolution. Payments in connection with the final adjustment will be due within ten (10) business days of notice. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such adjustments in accordance with times set forth in this Section 11.7. In addition, if any error in either the calculations or amount of final figures used in a closing adjustment is discovered within sixty (60) days after Closing, Purchaser and Seller agree to correct such error promptly upon notice from the other party and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such adjustment within such sixty (60) day period after Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, except with respect to (x) 2021 calendar year property taxes and (y) deferred rent from tenants under Leases which relates to a period prior to the Closing Date and is received by Purchaser after Closing, all other proration, reconciliation, reproration and settlement obligations of Purchaser and Seller under this Section 11.7 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. This Section 11.7 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed for the time periods set forth in this Section 11.7.

ESCROW PROVISIONS

14.1 Escrow Provisions. The Deposit and any other sums (including without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (collectively “Escrow Funds”), shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall invest such Escrow Funds in a segregated, interest-bearing money market account at a national bank reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. In the event any interest or other income shall be earned on such Escrow Funds, such interest or other income shall become a part of the Escrow Funds and will be the property of the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser’s and Seller’s Federal Identification Numbers are set forth below.

(b) At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of the Agreement pursuant to which the disbursement of such Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of such

Escrow Funds for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement and if Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of such Escrow Funds. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Section 15.6 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.

(c) In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful default or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

15.7 Assignment. Purchaser will not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without Seller’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, and any attempted assignment or transfer without Seller’s consent will be null and void ab initio and of no effect. The foregoing notwithstanding, provided that Purchaser is in compliance with the conditions hereinafter set forth, Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement, without Seller’s consent, provided (a) the assignment is effective on the Closing Date, (b) the assignment is to an Affiliate of Purchaser created by Purchaser or its qualified intermediary which may organize an “exchange accommodation title holder” (“EAT”) for the purpose of “parking” the Property in connection with and to accommodate a reverse exchange of property under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code as described in Section 15.26 hereof, (c) the assignment is on the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q or is a form required by Purchaser qualified intermediary and its EAT (provided, Seller incurs no cost in connection therewith) and includes all of Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the Deposit, and provides for the assumption, for the benefit of Seller as a third-party beneficiary, of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, (d) that such assignee has assumed any and all obligations and liabilities of Purchaser under this Agreement, but, notwithstanding such assumption, Purchaser shall continue to be liable hereunder, and (e) Purchaser provides Seller, at least seven (7) business

days’ prior to Closing, with written notice of such assignment and executed counterparts of all documents evidencing or otherwise executed in connection with such assignment. Any assignment which fails to meet the criteria of this Section 15.7 or to which Seller has not otherwise consented shall be void and of no force or effect. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller prior to Closing, and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such assignment, such supporting evidence of the foregoing as is reasonably required by Seller.

15.8 Further Assurances. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to complete, execute and deliver to the appropriate governmental authorities any returns, affidavits or other instruments that may be required with respect to any transfer, gains, sales, stamps and similar taxes, if any, arising out of this transaction.

15.9 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

15.10 Offer Only. This Agreement will not constitute a binding agreement by and between the parties hereto until such time as this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each and the Deposit is deposited with the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

15.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when taken together shall constitute fully executed originals.

15.12 E-mail or PDF Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement and the Site Access and Indemnification Agreement transmitted by e-mail or PDF shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing. A copy of the electronic mail or PDF shall also be sent to the intended addressee by one of the means described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 15.6 above, in any case with all charges prepaid, addressed to the appropriate party at its address provided herein.

15.13 Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement, together with the Site and Access Agreement, embody the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no oral or written agreements between the parties, nor any representations made by either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which are not expressly set forth herein. If any portion of this Agreement becomes or is held to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, the remaining portions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby and will remain in force and effect to the fullest extent permissible by law.

15.14 No Waiver. No waiver by Purchaser or Seller of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by the other party will be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. No waiver of any default by Purchaser or Seller under this Agreement will be implied from any omission by the other party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a default other than as specified in such waiver. The consent or approval by Purchaser or Seller to or of any act by the other party requiring the consent or approval of the first party will not be deemed

to waive or render unnecessary such party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.

15.15 Limitation of Liability. If Purchaser becomes aware after Closing of any breach and/or violation of any of Seller’s representations and/or warranties and/or Excepted Claims set forth herein, or of any other matter for which Seller would or could become liable to Purchaser, whether hereunder or under any Closing document, and Purchaser timely commences any action(s) to enforce any alleged breach and/or violation of any of the representations and/or warranties of Seller, or Seller’s liability for an Excepted Claim as set forth in this Agreement or to enforce any other claims for liability against Seller, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any document executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, in no event shall Seller be liable for any special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages, nor shall Seller’s liability in any such event or events exceed one and one-half percent (1.50%) of the Purchase Price (“Seller’s Maximum Liability”) and no claim by Purchaser may be made and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim unless and until Purchaser’s claims are for an aggregate amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Claims Threshold”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concurring such claim(s) shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to Seller’s Maximum Liability. The amount of Seller’s Maximum Liability shall be inclusive of attorneys’ fees, and ancillary court and experts’ costs and fees. Purchaser agrees that, prior to making any claims against Seller, Purchaser shall, to the extent applicable, pursue any remedies it may have against the Title Company pursuant to the Title Policy. The provisions of this Section 15.15 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

15.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

15.17 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, each and all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the successors-in-interest, assigns, and representatives of the parties hereto. As used in the foregoing, “successors” refers to the successors to all or substantially all of the assets of parties hereto and to their successors by merger or consolidation.

15.18 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Seller or Purchaser will not, by virtue of this Agreement, in any way or for any reason be deemed to have become a partner of the other in the conduct of its business or otherwise, or a joint venturer. In addition, by virtue of this Agreement there shall not be deemed to have occurred a merger of any joint enterprise between Purchaser and Seller.

15.19 No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser each agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum, short form agreement or notice hereof shall be recorded, and Purchaser further agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof, and (b) to be responsible for and to

indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing by Purchaser of any such notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument.

15.20 Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as defined in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:

(a) Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.

(b) Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.

(c) Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is as set forth opposite Seller’s signature to this Agreement.

(d) Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.

The provisions of this Section 15.20 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.

15.21 Survival. Seller covenants, agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Excepted Claims (except for those set forth in Sections 13.1(d), 13.1(h), 15.2, 15.15, 15.20, and this Section 15.21 which are meant to survive indefinitely), shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending six (6) months after the Closing Date or, if another period of time is specified, such other period of time (as applicable, the “Survival Period”). It is expressly agreed that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of all representations and warranties in this Agreement or the breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any closing document, shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the end of the Survival Period and, if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter will be void and

of no force or effect. The provisions of this Section 15.21 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed and/or termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period of any alleged breach of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations and shall allow Seller thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional reasonable period of time so long as a cure has been commenced and is being diligently pursued. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequences thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within the Survival Period; provided, however, that if within the Survival Period Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s commencement of a cure, commences to cure and thereafter terminates such cure effort, Purchaser shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the date of such termination within which to commence an action at law for damages as a consequence of Seller’s failure to cure. The Survival Period referred to herein shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations. Purchaser’s waiver(s) and release(s) set forth in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 shall apply fully to liabilities under such covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties and is hereby incorporated by this reference. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller. The limitation as to Seller’s liability in this Section 15.21 does not apply to Seller’s or Purchaser’s liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Article XI.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Seller becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of its representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing. In the event that Seller so discloses any matters which make any Seller’s representations and warranties so untrue in any material respect or in the event that Purchaser otherwise becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which so make any of Seller’s representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that such untruth is not the result of Seller’s breach of any express covenant set forth in this Agreement), but Purchaser shall have the right to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (i) to waive such matters and complete the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) as to any matters disclosed following the Effective Date, to terminate this Agreement if the failure of such representations or warranties would, individually or in the aggregate, result in an adverse impact or cost on or to the Property or Purchaser which, either (x) is in excess of the Claims Threshold, or (y) is less than the Claims Threshold and Purchaser does not receive a credit toward the Purchase Price of such amount at Closing.

No claim for a breach of any of Seller’s Representations shall be actionable or payable (a) if such breach is due to or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter that was known to Purchaser or disclosed to Purchaser or its Affiliate in the Property Documents or by email, overnight delivery or otherwise available to Purchaser or its Affiliate, or in writing delivered to Purchaser or its Affiliate prior to Closing.

15.22 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15.23 Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of six (6) months following Closing, Seller shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days written notice to Purchaser, to examine and review at Purchaser's office (or, at Purchaser's election, at the Property), the books and records of Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Property, which was delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on fifteen (15) days written notice to Seller, to examine and review at Seller’s office, all non-confidential or non-proprietary books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation by Seller prior to the Closing of the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with one another in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with any reconciliation or audit of tenant expenses, and such obligation shall survive Closing until all such matters are finally resolved.

15.24 Joint and Several. The liability of each constituent entity comprising Seller shall be joint and several with the liability of each other constituent entity comprising Seller.

15.25 Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s sole expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, or its accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its accountants (and will request its property manager as of the date of Closing to provide such information), and which is necessary to enable Purchaser (or HPI and/or its Affiliates) to file its or their Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K if, as and when such filing may be required by the SEC. Purchaser hereby releases and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its Affiliates, agents, employees, and partners, harmless from and against any claims, liability, expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses and damages arising out of Seller's cooperation hereunder or any information provided by Seller pursuant hereto; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent such liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. The indemnity obligations of Purchaser to Seller under this Section 15.25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

15.26 Section 1031 Exchange. The parties acknowledge that the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser may be structured by Purchaser as a like-kind exchange (including a “reverse exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and federal cases interpreting this rule (an “Exchange”). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in effecting such Exchange, provided that Purchaser shall bear all of the expenses and liabilities associated therewith, Seller shall not be subject to any liability, and provided further that Purchaser’s ability to undertake any such exchange shall not in any manner be considered a condition of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the same shall not delay the

Closing. It is contemplated that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.103(k)-I(g)4(v) and/or Purchaser may cause the Property to be conveyed (i.e., “parked”) with an EAT organized by a qualified intermediary pending Purchaser’s sale of other properties owned by Purchaser (its “relinquished property”) as part of the Exchange. Accordingly, in the event of such assignment and/or “parking” arrangement, Seller shall, upon notice from Purchaser, convey the Property at Closing to the EAT or EATs organized by Purchaser’s qualified intermediary, and shall to the extent of the assignment, treat the qualified intermediary and/or EAT(s) as the valid assignee of Purchaser’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (a) Seller shall not be required to acquire or hold legal or beneficial title to, or any other interest, in any property for purposes of consummating Purchaser’s Exchange, (b) Seller shall have the right to review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) all documents Seller is required to execute in connection with any Exchange, and (c) in the event of any Exchange, and notwithstanding that in connection with such Exchange record title to the Property may be conveyed by Seller to an accommodation entity which thereupon will later convey title to the Property to Purchaser, all covenants, agreements and indemnifications of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be made by Purchaser, shall survive any conveyance by Seller to an accommodation party, shall continue in favor of and inure to the benefit of Seller and shall be enforceable by Seller against Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement as though the Property had been conveyed directly by Seller to Purchaser and the exchange shall in no way reduce, abridge or modify any of Purchaser’s obligations or any of Seller’s rights or remedies hereunder. Seller will have no liability to Purchaser under or in connection with any Exchange, including in the event the Exchange is not consummated, or in the event Purchaser does not achieve the desired tax treatment.

15.27 Force Majeure Event. If Closing does not occur on the Closing Date because of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) (but unless Purchaser and Seller otherwise agree in writing, no such Force Majeure Event extension shall exceed ten (10) days in the aggregate), the Closing Date shall be extended to the next business day immediately following the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Force Majeure Event” means acts of God (including, but not limited to tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and/or other weather conditions or other national disasters), expropriation or confiscation of facilities by any governmental authority, compliance with any order or request of any governmental authority, strikes, lockouts, riots, or other labor troubles or a national emergency, a pandemic or epidemic, or a failure of the Automated Clearing House or similar wire transfer system utilized for the transfer of money or similar causes not within Seller’s or Purchaser’s control.
