(b)From and after the Effective Date until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sellers and Group Companies shall, upon reasonable prior notice, provide Buyer, any lender providing Debt Financing to Buyer, and their respective employees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and agents


	49

(collectively “Inspection Parties”) limited license to enter upon the Properties during normal business hours to conduct such customary studies, tests, examinations, inquires, inspections and investigations concerning the Properties as may be required by any lender providing Debt Financing to Buyer (the “Property Inspections”); provided, however, that no Inspection Party shall be permitted to (i) perform any invasive tests on a Property or any testing that includes sampling or (ii) to inspect the inside of any buildings occupied by a tenant, in each case without the prior written consent of Seller Representative, in Seller Representative’s sole discretion. Further, Seller Representative shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all Property Inspections (including any Phase II environmental study of a Property) and other matters that in the reasonable judgment of Seller Representative could result in (A) a material disruption to the operations of any Group Company or any of its Affiliates, (B) injury to a Property or breach of any Material Contract, violation of applicable Law, or otherwise materially adversely affect a Property, Seller, Group Company or any of its Affiliates. All requests for access to the Properties pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) shall be directed to Seller Representative or its designee. No Inspection Party shall enter a Property to perform invasive testing until Seller Representative has given approval of the request and any inspection or testing plan, and the applicable Inspection Party has delivered such evidence of insurance as may be reasonably requested by Seller Representative. Seller Representative or its designee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be present during any Property Inspection, provided that if Seller Representative or its designee elects not to be present, Buyer shall nonetheless be permitted to conduct such Property Inspection subject to the terms of this Agreement. No Inspection Party shall unreasonably interfere with the use, occupancy or business of any tenant at a Property, and no Inspection Party shall permit any lien or encumbrance to be created against a Property as a result of its Property Inspections hereunder. Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, promptly restore any damage to a Property related to any Property Inspections, and upon completion of such Property Inspections, Buyer shall be responsible for returning the applicable Property to substantially the same condition as existing immediately prior to entry by such Inspection Party. Buyer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Sellers, Group Companies, their Affiliates, employees, officers, counsel and representatives from and against all damages or other losses, demands, actions, claims costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to the Property Inspections or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Section 6.3(b) (excluding, however, any loss, injury, damage, claim, lien, cost or expense to the extent arising out of the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition at any Property (except to the extent exacerbated by Buyer)). This Section 6.3(b) shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

(c)After the Closing Date, Buyer and the Group Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts, until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, to retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the business of the Group Companies in existence on the Closing Date and make the same available for inspection and copying by Seller Representative (at Seller Representative’s expense) during normal business hours of the Group Companies upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice. No such books, records or documents shall be destroyed after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date by Buyer or the Group Companies without first advising Seller Representative in writing and giving Seller Representative a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3(c), after the Closing, Buyer and the Group Companies shall be


	50

entitled to destroy such books, records and other documents to the extent in accordance with bona fide record retention policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to provide such access if doing so would be reasonably likely to (i) unreasonably disrupt the operations of Buyer, any Group Company, or any of their Affiliates, (ii) cause a violation or breach of or default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate any rights under, any contract to which Buyer, any Group Company, or any of their Affiliates is a party, (iii) result in a loss of legal privilege to Buyer, any Group Company, or any of their Affiliates, or (iv) constitute a violation of any applicable Law. All information made available pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall be treated as confidential pursuant to Section 6.3(d).

(d)Each of the Seller Parties and Management Holdings recognizes that, by reason of its ownership or provision of management services, as applicable, of the Acquired Companies, it and its Affiliates have acquired confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operation of the Acquired Companies, the disclosure of which could cause any of the Buyer Parties or its Affiliates substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at Law would be adequate. Accordingly, each of the Seller Parties and Management Holdings covenants to the Buyer Parties that such Seller Party, Management Holdings and their Affiliates will not, for a period of two years following the date of this Agreement, except in performance of its obligations to the Buyer Parties or with the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, disclose any proprietary, secret or confidential information relating to the Acquired Companies that it may learn or has learned by reason of its ownership of the Acquired Companies, unless such information (i) is or becomes available to the public (other than as a result of any disclosure by any Seller Party, Management Holdings or any of their Representatives in breach of this Section 6.3(d)), (ii) is or becomes available to a Seller Party, Management Holdings or any of their Representatives from a Person, other than a Seller Party, Management Holdings, an Acquired Company or any Buyer Party or any of their respective Representatives, provided that such source is not known (following reasonable inquiry) by such Seller Party, Management Holdings or such Representative, as the case may be, to be disclosing such information in breach of any legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality to a Seller Party, Management Holdings, an Acquired Company or any Buyer Party, (iii) is independently developed by or for a Seller Party, Management Holdings or any of their Representatives without the use of any such information, or (iv) is already in a Seller Party’s, Management Holding’s or any of their Representatives’ possession prior to disclosure to the Seller Party, Management holdings or their applicable Representative, other than from a Seller Party, Management Holdings, an Acquired Company, a Buyer Party or any of their respective Representatives, provided that such source is not known (following reasonable inquiry) by such Seller Party, Management Holdings or such Representative, as the case may be, to be disclosing such information in breach of any legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality to a Seller Party, Management Holdings, an Acquired Company or any Buyer Party.

(e)At the Closing, to the maximum extent each such party is permitted to do so, the Seller Parties, the Acquired Companies, and the Seller Representative shall (and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to), assign, grant and convey to Buyer all the rights under confidentiality agreements between such parties or their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and Persons other than Affiliates of Buyer, on the other hand, that were entered into in


	51

connection with or relating to a possible sale of any Group Company or the Properties (collectively, the “Other Confidentiality Agreements”), including the right to enforce all terms of the Other Confidentiality Agreements. None of the Seller Parties, the Acquired Companies, the Seller Representative nor their respective Affiliate or Representatives shall waive any rights under the Other Confidentiality Agreements. At the Closing, the Seller Representative shall deliver to Buyer copies of the Other Confidentiality Agreements.

(f)Books and Records. Buyer has advised Seller Parties that, following the Closing, Buyer (or a direct or indirect owner of Buyer or Affiliate thereof) may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Group Companies or the Properties for one (1) fiscal year prior to the Closing and any interim period during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (financial statements for any such interim period being unaudited) (the “Financial Information”). Following the Closing, if Buyer (or a direct or indirect owner of Buyer or Affiliate thereof) is required to file, in compliance with such laws and regulations, the Financial Information, then Seller Representative agrees to, at no cost to Seller Parties, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer (and/or its Affiliates) and its representatives and agents in preparing the Financial Information, including, if requested by Buyer, using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain and allow Buyer (and/or its Affiliates) (upon no less than seventy-two (72) hours prior written notice, which notice may be given via email), reasonable access to, during normal business hours, such books and records of Seller Parties reasonably related to the Properties or the Group Companies), (ii) make employees with knowledge of the Properties available for interview by Buyer (and/or its Affiliates), and (iii) deliver a customary representation letter (the “Audit Inquiry Letter”) in such form as is reasonably acceptable to Seller Parties and Buyer’s (and/or its Affiliates) outside third party accountants (the “Accountants”), with such facts and assumptions as reasonably determined by the Accountants in order to make such certificate accurate, signed by the individual(s) responsible for Seller Parties’ financial reporting, as prescribed by generally accepted auditing standards promulgated by the Auditing Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which representation letter may be required to assist the Accountants in rendering an opinion on such financial statements (the foregoing (i) – (iii) referred to collectively as the “Audit Assistance”) (it being understood that Seller Parties shall not be required to deliver pro forma financial statements or provide pro forma adjustments to the Financial Information to reflect the transactions contemplated herein including any financing related thereto).

Section 6.4Efforts to Consummate

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions set forth in Article VII to be satisfied and to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date and (ii) obtain as promptly as practicable any consent of, or any approval by, any Governmental Entity or third party which is required to be obtained by the Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any consents in connection with the Transactions from any Person (other than from a Governmental Entity), (I) without the prior


	52

written consent of Buyer, no Acquired Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligation and (II) no Buyer Party or any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligations.

(b)Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their respective best efforts to, take any and all actions necessary, proper or advisable to avoid each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law or other applicable Law or Order that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions so as to cause the conditions set forth in Article VII to be satisfied and to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date, including by:

(i)(A) agreeing to sell, divest, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any assets, operations, divisions or businesses of Subsidiaries or of any of the Group Companies, (B) taking or committing to take such other actions that may limit Buyer’s and its Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain, any assets, operations, divisions or businesses of any of the Group Companies, (C) agreeing to terminate any contract or business relationship of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or of any of the Group Companies and (D) entering into any orders, settlements, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements to effectuate any of the foregoing; notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall require any Buyer Party to take or agree to take any action with respect to The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) or any Affiliate of Blackstone, including any affiliated investment funds or any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) of Blackstone, including selling, divesting or otherwise disposing of, conveying, licensing, holding separate, or otherwise restricting or limiting its freedom of action with respect to, any assets, business, products, rights, licenses, investments, or assets, or interests therein, other than with respect to any of the Group Companies; and

(ii)opposing fully and vigorously any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that is initiated (or threatened to be initiated) challenging this Agreement or the Transactions or any order that could restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions, including by defending through litigation any action asserted by any Person in any court or before any Governmental Entity, and vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal in order to vacate, lift, reverse, overturn, settle or otherwise resolve any order that would prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(c)No Party shall, directly or indirectly take any action, including directly or indirectly acquiring or investing in any Person or acquiring, leasing or licensing any assets, or agreeing to do any of the foregoing, if doing so would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VII to be satisfied or the consummation of the Transactions.


	53

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties shall as promptly as practicable make all filings with all Governmental Entities necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date, including making any filing that may be required under any Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws or by any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement of any such Law. Each of Parties shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing required under applicable Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws. Each Party shall keep the other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Entity with whom a filing has been made pursuant to Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws.

(e)None of the Parties shall (i) extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any applicable Antitrust Law or (ii) enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Transactions, except, in each case, with the prior consent of the other Parties.

(f)Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall (x) require any of the Group Companies or Sellers to take or agree to take any action referenced in Section 6.4(b)(i), or (y) permit Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to take any such action with respect to the Group Companies, that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 6.5Public Announcements

. The initial press release regarding this Agreement shall be a mutually acceptable joint press release. Prior to Closing, Buyer, Management Holdings and the Seller Representative shall (and the Seller Representative shall advise the Seller Parties to) not issue any press release or public announcement relating to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written approval of the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Confidentiality Agreement, either party (or any of its Affiliates) may release information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby at any time after the date of this Agreement, (i) to comply with any applicable Laws, including pursuant to governmental regulations and statutes as required by law for publicly filing entities or pursuant to an order by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) to the extent, in the good faith judgment of Buyer’s or Seller Representative’ counsel, accountants, or advisors, as applicable, such disclosure is required to be disclosed (including in any registration statement, other disclosure document, press release or public announcement) in connection with such Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) quarterly earnings results, earnings guidance or capital raising and other fund-raising activities; provided, however, such disclosing party shall give the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Confidentiality Agreement, nothing herein shall limit the right of an Affiliate of Buyer that is a public reporting company to publicly disclose the transaction consistent with any statements previously made in compliance with this Section 6.5.

Section 6.6Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

(a)From and after the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing, each of Buyer and the Group Companies will, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law


	54

(including as it may be amended after the Effective Date to expand the rights of Indemnified Parties hereunder) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current and former director and officer of any of the Group Companies, each Person who is serving or has served at the request of or for the benefit of any of the Group Companies as a director, officer or fiduciary of another Person and each of their respective heirs and estates (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, judgments, settlements, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action or investigation arising out of or relating to any matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing to the extent that they are based on or arise out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of a Group Company and (ii) promptly advance expenses as incurred to each Indemnified Party in connection with any such claims, provided, that (x) none of Buyer and the Group Companies shall be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (y) except for legal counsel engaged for one or more Indemnified Parties on the date hereof, none of Buyer and the Group Companies shall be obligated under this Section 6.6 to pay the fees and expenses of more than one legal counsel (selected by a plurality of the applicable Indemnified Parties) for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction with respect to any single legal action except to the extent that, on the advice of any such Indemnified Party’s counsel, two or more of such Indemnified Parties shall have conflicting interests in the outcome of such action. In the event of any such cost, claim, loss, liability, damage, fine, judgment, settlement, fee or expense for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6(a), Buyer or one of the Group Companies, as applicable, shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days, after statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request, reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably incurred (provided that, if legally required, the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not legally entitled to indemnification under applicable Law).

(b)The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.6 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Governing Documents of the Group Companies or any contract or Law. The Group Companies shall and, following the Closing for a period of at least six years following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to, maintain, or cause to be maintained, all rights to indemnification for and exculpation from Costs for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the Governing Documents of the Group Companies or any contract between such Indemnified Party and a Group Company so that such rights survive the Closing, and the foregoing shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any rights of any Indemnified Party.

(c)Prior to the Closing, the Group Companies shall and, if the Group Companies are unable to, Buyer shall, obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, in each case providing coverage for claims asserted prior to and for six years after the


	55

Closing with respect to any matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing (and, with respect to claims made prior to or during such period, until final resolution thereof), from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Group Companies’ insurance carrier as of the Effective Date, with levels of coverage, terms and conditions that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as the Group Companies’ directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies in effect as of the Effective Date; provided, that in no event shall the Group Companies (or Buyer) be required to expend for any year of such six-year period an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Group Companies for such insurance policies (the “Maximum Premium”); provided further, that if the Group Companies (or Buyer) would be obligated to expend more than the Maximum Premium in respect of such “tail” insurance policies, the Group Companies (or Buyer) shall cause to be obtained such policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium. If the Group Companies (or Buyer) for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Closing, the Group Companies shall, and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Closing the Group Companies’ directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies in effect as of the Effective Date.

(d)In the event that Buyer, any of the Group Companies or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Group Company, as the case may be, shall assume or succeed to all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

(e)The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive consummation of the Transactions and are expressly intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 6.6. Buyer shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.6.

Section 6.7Exclusive Dealing

. During the period from the Effective Date until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives not to (a) solicit, direct, initiate or knowingly encourage the submission of any proposal providing for an Alternative Transaction or (b) engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any third party any non-public information in connection with, or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Buyer or its respective Affiliates) providing for, any Alternative Transaction or requiring any Group Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions.

Section 6.8Financing

(a)Prior to the Closing, Management Holdings, Sellers and the Acquired Companies shall, and shall cause the other Group Companies to, use reasonable best efforts to


	56

provide, at Buyer’s sole expense, the following cooperation with Buyer’s efforts to obtain debt financing in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (collectively the “Debt Financing”) (provided, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of any of the Acquired Companies): (i) participation in a reasonable number of meetings, drafting sessions, rating agency presentations and due diligence sessions; (ii) furnishing Buyer and its potential debt financing sources for the Debt Financing (the “Lenders”) with such financial information relating to the Group Companies as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or the Lenders; (iii) as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, and no earlier than immediately prior to the Effective Time, use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer or otherwise restructure its ownership of the Group Companies, properties or other assets, including formation of new entities, in each case, pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to Seller Representative; provided that no action shall be required under this clause (iii) to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to cause any breach of, or require any board or investor vote under, the governing documents of any Acquired Company, (iv) provide documentation and other information relating to the Group Companies requested by Buyer in writing and required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations in connection with the Debt Financing, and (v) assisting Buyer and the Lenders in the preparation of (A) a customary offering document, private placement memorandum or bank information memorandum for any of the Debt Financing to the extent specifically required thereby and (B) materials for rating agency presentations; provided, that (1) none of the Sellers, Management Holdings or Acquired Companies shall be required to pay any fees (other than reasonable out of pocket expenses promptly reimbursed by Buyer hereunder on demand) or incur any other liability in connection with the Debt Financing until after the occurrence of the Closing, (2) none of the Sellers, Management Holdings or Acquired Companies shall be required to execute or deliver any documents or take any action relating to the Debt Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing, (3) no Representative of the Sellers, Management Holdings or Acquired Companies shall be required to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in or cause any liability (personal or otherwise) on the part of any Representative, (4) no action shall be required to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement to be breached, unless expressly waived by Buyer and Seller Representative, and (5) no action shall be required to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VII to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement, unless expressly waived by Buyer and Seller Representative. Any information provided to Buyer or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.8(a) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly upon request by the Seller Representative, reimburse Sellers and the Acquired Companies for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including third party attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 6.8. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no Group Company Related Person shall have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any Person under or in connection with, the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any other financing that Buyer may obtain or seek to obtain in connection with the Transactions, and that Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Group Company Related Persons from and against any and all Costs suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any other


	57

financing that Buyer may obtain or seek to obtain in connection with the Transactions and any information utilized in connection therewith.

(c)Prior to the Closing, upon the request of Seller Representative, Buyer shall keep Seller Representative reasonably informed in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to obtain the Debt Financing. The Buyer Parties acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the Transactions irrespective and independently of the availability of the Debt Financing, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII.

(d)Upon request of Buyer, Sellers agree to forward or cause the applicable Group Company to forward estoppel certificates and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements reasonably requested by Buyer’s lender to (i) tenants at any Property, (ii) counterparties under any recorded declaration or reciprocal easement agreement affecting any Property, and (iii) ground lessors under the Ground Lease Documents. Sellers and each Group Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such agreements or certificates by the applicable counterparty prior to Closing, provided that delivery of any such agreements by the applicable counterparty shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close and the failure to deliver any such agreement shall not entitle Buyer to terminate this Agreement or delay the Closing.

Section 6.9Space Leases

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Sellers and the Group Companies shall be permitted to enter into, amend, modify, supplement or extend any Space Lease; provided, that such action is taken in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice pursuant to arm’s length transactions on market terms; provided further, Sellers shall not, and shall cause the Group Companies not to, enter into, amend, modify, supplement or extend any Major Space Lease or terminate any Space Lease without the prior consent of Buyer, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Buyer’s sole discretion (a “Major Space Lease Transaction”), it being agreed that Buyer has consented to those Space Leases which have been provided to Buyer as “out for signature” prior to the Effective Date as described on Section 6.9 of the Disclosure Schedules; provided further, without the prior written consent of Buyer, Sellers and the Group Companies are authorized without the need for any further consent of Buyer to (i) accept the termination of any Space Leases at the end of their existing terms or enter into amendments memorializing extensions of any Space Leases as required thereunder and not subject to landlord consent thereunder (or permitting landlord any discretion with respect to the terms thereof) or (ii) enforce any rights and remedies against a tenant as a result of such tenant’s default under a Space Lease other than a Major Space Lease, provided that such enforcement action is taken in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice. If Sellers or any Group Company desire to enter into a Major Space Lease Transaction and Buyer’s consent is required hereunder, and Buyer does not respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a notice from Sellers with respect to such Major Space Lease Transaction including reasonable details thereof, together with a written request for Buyer’s approval of such lease transaction, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such Major Space Lease Transaction. Sellers shall provide Buyer with the monthly statement of material leasing activities


	58

generated by Seller Representative in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else to the contrary contained herein, Sellers shall not exercise any rights or negotiate with any tenant with respect to any purchase option under any Space Lease without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b)Sellers shall not (and shall not permit or cause any Group Company to) release or return any security or other deposits other than upon and in connection with the termination of any Space Lease as required pursuant to the terms of such Space Lease, shall not apply any security or other deposits under any Space Lease to the obligations of any tenant except with respect to any Space Lease that is not a Major Space Lease in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice and in accordance with the terms of the applicable non-Major Space Lease.

If Sellers or any Group Company desire to take any action with respect to a Ground Lease Document or Material Real Property Lease for which Buyer’s consent is required hereunder, and Buyer does not respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a notice from Sellers with respect to such Ground Lease Document or Material Real Property Lease, together with a written request for Buyer’s approval of such lease transaction, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such action.

Section 6.11Director Resignations

. Prior to the Closing, (a) Seller Parties shall obtain the resignation, or cause the removal, of all directors of the Group Companies, which resignation or removal shall be effective at the Closing, and (b) the Seller Representative shall deliver to Buyer evidence of such resignation or removal.

At or prior to the Closing, Seller Parties shall cause the Acquired Companies to pay or otherwise satisfy all obligations under the Shareholder Notes; provided, that some or all of the foregoing obligations may be satisfied through the application of the Closing Consideration; provided, further, that the Seller Parties shall not satisfy the foregoing obligations in any manner that would result in any Cost (including any Tax Cost) to a Group Company.

(b)Treatment of Existing Loans. No later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller Representative a description of Buyer’s intended treatment of the Existing Loans, specifying for each such Existing Loan whether Buyer intends to prepay, defease and/or assume such Existing Loan in connection with the Closing. To the extent requested by Buyer prior to the end of such ten (10) day period, Seller Parties shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate, at Buyer’s sole expense, the assumption by Buyer or its Affiliates, at or prior to the Closing, of any such

Existing Loans (the “Assumed Loans”). Such cooperation will include using reasonable best efforts to (i) make appropriate officers reasonably available for participation in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions and road shows, (ii) provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents and the execution and delivery of any definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or its prospective lenders, in each case, solely with respect to information relating to the Group Companies, and (iii) otherwise provide reasonable assistance as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the loan assumption. Seller Parties shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate, at Buyer’s sole expense the payment and satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of all Existing Loans other than the Assumed Loans (“Closing Payoff Indebtedness”). In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller Parties shall, or shall cause the Group Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, no less than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, one or more customary pay-off letters executed by the administrative agents or the lenders under any Closing Payoff Indebtedness, in each case, setting forth all amounts necessary to be paid in order to fully discharge each such Closing Payoff Indebtedness and release all Liens and other security interests related to such Existing Loan and including an agreement by such lender to execute and/or deliver Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documents or endorsements necessary to release its Liens and other security interests in the assets, properties and securities of the Group Companies.

Section 6.13REIT Matters

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sellers shall be permitted to take any action at any time as may be required (in Seller’s reasonable discretion) to maintain each REIT Entity’s qualification for taxation as a REIT, including causing a REIT Entity to declare or pay any dividends (including “consent dividends” within the meaning of Section 565 of the Code); provided, that, if the Sellers determine that it is necessary to take any such action, the Sellers shall first notify Buyer and shall reasonably consult with Buyer as to the actions to be taken.

(b)To the extent the taxable year of any REIT Entity does not terminate on the Closing Date, until the end of such REIT Entity’s taxable year that includes the Closing Date, Buyer shall preserve the status of such REIT Entity as a REIT, and cause such REIT Entity to satisfy all requirements to qualify for taxation as a REIT for such taxable year, with respect to the portion of the taxable year that begins on the Closing Date after the Closing and shall not knowingly take or allow any action or omit to take any action, if such action or omission, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected to result in a challenge to a REIT Entity’s qualification for taxation as a REIT for such taxable year. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the end of the taxable year that includes the Closing, Buyer shall cause each REIT Entity to make such distributions (including actual or deemed distributions in connection with an actual or deemed liquidation of such REIT Entity to the extent such distributions qualify for a dividends paid deduction within the meaning of Section 857(a)(1)) as are necessary to cause such entity to eliminate substantially all of its REIT taxable income, including its net capital gain, for such


	60

taxable year (based on a good faith estimate of such entity’s REIT taxable income and net capital gain for such period).

(c)Buyer will not cause or permit any REIT Entity to (A) designate any distributions paid (or deemed paid) by such REIT Entity to any person that was a shareholder prior to the Closing (solely in such person’s capacity as a shareholder on or prior to the Closing) as “capital gain dividends” under Section 857(b)(3) of the Code or (B) otherwise treat such distributions as attributable to gain from the sale of a “United States real property interest” (“USRPI”) under Section 897(h)(1) of the Code, except to the extent any such distribution was attributable to such gain recognized on a disposition of a USRPI that occurred prior to the Closing Date.

(d)This Section 6.13 shall survive the Closing for a period of sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Section 6.14Employee Matters

. For a period of one year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into the account the fact that neither Buyer nor any Group Company is the sponsor of the PEO Plans) to provide each Transferred Employee who is employed by Buyer or one of its Affiliates following the Closing, solely during any period of employment, with compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and employee benefits (other than equity or equity-based compensation, retention awards and any transaction based compensation or benefits) provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company to, give Transferred Employees full credit for all purposes (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under the employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which the Transferred Employees may participate after the date of transfer of such Transferred Employee (“Transfer Date”) for such Transferred Employee’s service with GLP US Management LLC or its Affiliates or their benefit plans immediately prior to the Closing. With respect to any welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of Transferred Employees on and after the Transfer Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the applicable Group Company to, (i) cause there to be waived any eligibility requirements or pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under comparable plans of GLP US Management LLC or its Affiliates and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to amounts paid by such Transferred Employees with respect to comparable plans maintained by GLP US Management LLC or its Affiliates. Buyer shall provide to each Transferred Employee who participates in an annual cash incentive plan of GLP US Management LLC or its Affiliates immediately before the Closing Date and who is employed through the end of the applicable performance period, a cash lump sum payment no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Closing occurs equal to a prorated portion (based on the portion of the applicable bonus performance period that occurs on and after the Transfer Date) of the Transferred Employee’s annual bonus calculated based on the Transferred Employee’s target bonus (the “Post-Closing Bonus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall provide to each Transferred Employee who is terminated without cause after the Transfer Date a prorated portion of the Post-Closing Bonus (based on the portion of the period that occurs between the Transfer Date and the termination date). Nothing in this Section


	61

6.14 is intended nor shall be construed to (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Employee Benefit Plan or PEO Plan, (ii) prevent Buyer or its Affiliates from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans in accordance their terms, (iii) create a right in any employee to employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Transferred Employee by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Buyer or any of its Affiliates may maintain.

Section 6.15Representation and Warranty Insurance

. If Buyer or any of its Affiliates procures a representation and warranty insurance policy (or other similar policy) (a “R&W Policy”), then (i) such R&W Policy shall be at Buyer’s sole expense and (ii) Buyer shall cause such R&W Policy to expressly include a waiver by the insurer of any and all subrogation rights (except in the case of Fraud) against any Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees. Buyer shall cause each insured party under any such R&W Policy not to waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise such subrogation provision, or allow such provision to be waived, amended, modified or otherwise revised, in each case in a manner that is adverse to a Seller without the prior written consent of such Seller. Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer with respect to Buyer’s procurement of any such R&W Policy.

Section 6.16Trademark Matters

(a)Except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.16, immediately following the Closing, Buyer and its Affiliates shall cease and discontinue all uses of the GLP Trademarks, either alone or in combination with other words, symbols, designs, or logos, and all Trademarks, Internet domain names or social media handles likely to cause confusion with any of the foregoing or embodying any of the foregoing alone or in combination with other words, symbols, designs, or logos. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.16, the rights of the Group Companies to any of the GLP Trademarks pursuant to the terms of any existing agreements shall terminate on the Closing Date. As soon as reasonably practicable after Closing, and (i) in no event later than six (6) months following the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Group Companies) shall cease all of their use of the GLP Trademarks (other than on any signage) and relabel, destroy, delete the GLP Trademarks from or exhaust all materials (other than signage) bearing the GLP Trademarks that were in existence as of the Closing Date, including advertising, promotional materials, software, packaging, inventory, electronic materials, collateral goods, stationery, business cards, websites and other materials (except to the extent any such materials must be retained to comply with applicable Laws or document retention notices issued by any Governmental Entity), (ii) in no event later than one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates shall cease all of their use of the GLP Trademarks on all signage and relabel, destroy, delete or exhaust all signage bearing the GLP Trademarks that was in existence as of the Closing Date, and (iii) in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, file to change its and their corporate names, registered names, registered fictitious names or any similar names so that such names do not include any GLP Trademarks, and make all filings with any office, agency or body to effect the elimination of any use of the GLP Trademarks from the businesses of the Group Companies (including by amending, eliminating from and terminating any organizational documents, certificates of assumed names or “doing business as” filings and


	62

any other similar documents, certificates and filings so as to remove from such documents, certificates and filings any of the GLP Trademarks), in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent required to bring Buyer and its Affiliates into compliance with this Section 6.16. Promptly after the completion of (i), (ii) and (iii) (but no later than 10 Business Days thereafter), Buyer shall send a written statement to the Sellers verifying that it and its Affiliates have ceased using the GLP Trademarks and complied with the foregoing obligations set forth in this Section 6.16. In no event shall anything in this Section 6.16 be interpreted to permit Buyer to create any new materials or reproduce any existing materials bearing GLP Trademarks after the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not expressly, or by implication, do business as or represent themselves as any Seller or any of its Affiliates, or any Affiliate of any Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(b)In no event shall Buyer or its Affiliates use any GLP Trademarks after the Closing Date in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such GLP Trademarks by the Group Companies during the ninety (90) day period preceding the Closing Date. As between the Parties hereto, Sellers and their Affiliates are the sole and exclusive owners of all right, title and interest in and to the GLP Trademarks and all rights related thereto and goodwill associated therewith, and all uses of the GLP Trademarks and the goodwill arising therefrom shall inure solely to the benefit of Sellers and their Affiliates. Any use by Buyer or the Group Companies of any of the GLP Trademarks during the time periods referred to in this Section 6.16 shall be consistent with the form and manner, and standards of quality, of those in effect by the Group Companies with respect thereto as of immediately prior to the Closing and in accordance with all applicable Laws. Seller Representative shall have a reasonable right to inspect and exercise quality control with respect to Buyer’s and the Group Companies’ use of the GLP Trademarks. From and after the Closing, Buyer and the Group Companies shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Sellers and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives against, and hold them harmless from, any Costs suffered or incurred by any such indemnified party to the extent arising from any use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the GLP Trademarks from and after the Closing Date or any breach of this Section 6.16. Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, use the GLP Trademarks in a manner that could reasonably be expected in any respect to reflect negatively on, or otherwise adversely affect, any such GLP Trademarks (including the goodwill associated therewith) or any Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(c)Effective as of the Closing Date, each of the Group Companies hereby sells, conveys, assigns, and transfers to Seller Representative or its designee, on an as-is and where-is basis, without any representations, warranties or indemnities of any kind, any and all right, title and interest such Group Company may have in, to and under all Trademarks in the United States and throughout the world, including the right to renew any registrations included in such Trademarks, the right to apply for trademark registrations within or outside of the United States based in whole or in part upon such Trademarks, the right to collect royalties and proceeds in connection therewith, and all rights and remedies (including the right to xxx for and recover damages, profits and any other remedy) for past, present or future infringement, misappropriation, or other violation relating to any of the foregoing, together with any priority right that may arise from any of the foregoing, and all other rights that are or may be secured


	63

under the Laws of the United States or any foreign country, now or hereafter arising or in effect, including all goodwill arising therefrom or associated therewith.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Group Companies) may, at all times after the Closing, use the GLP Trademarks (i) to the extent required by applicable Law, (ii) in a neutral, non-trademark manner to describe in a factual, accurate, and non-disparaging way the history of the business of the Group Companies, and (iii) on internal business assets (including historical legal and business documents) that are not visible to the public.

Section 6.17Risk of Loss; Condemnation and Casualty

(a)If at any time prior to the Closing, (i) any Property or any portion thereof is materially damaged or destroyed as a result of fire or any other casualty, or (ii) any material action or proceeding is filed, under which any Property, or any portion thereof, may be taken pursuant to any Law, ordinance, regulation or by condemnation or the right of eminent domain, the Seller Representative shall give Buyer written notice thereof (which notice shall describe the casualty or the type of action being taken against such Property, as applicable, and which portions of such Property will be affected thereby). To the extent that Sellers or any Group Company receive insurance proceeds from any casualty insurance policies and/or condemnation proceeds in respect of damage, destruction or condemnation of such Property or any portion thereof (collectively, “Proceeds”), Sellers or such Group Company, as applicable, shall either: (i) use such proceeds to repair such damage or destruction, or replace such taken property, as applicable (“Restoration of the Property”) or (ii) give Buyer a credit at the Closing against the Closing Consideration in an amount equal to the Proceeds, if any, received by the Sellers or any Group Company or any lender thereto as a result of such casualty or condemnation, together with a credit for any deductible under such insurance, less any amounts spent for Restoration of the Property. To the extent any Affiliate of the Sellers (other than a Group Company) receives Proceeds, the Sellers shall cause such Affiliate to pay such Proceeds to the Group Company designated by Buyer within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(b)Any Restoration of the Property shall be performed by the Sellers or the Group Companies or any other Affiliates of Sellers in accordance with applicable Laws and the applicable contracts in a good and workmanlike manner and the Sellers and the Group Companies shall consult with Buyer in connection with any Restoration of the Property.

In furtherance (and not in limitation) of the foregoing, the Seller Representative has the power and authority to:

(i)waive one or more conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 that is for the benefit of the Seller Parties or the Acquired Companies;

(ii)give and receive any written notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document by the Seller Representative or any Acquired Company, including providing payment instructions to the Paying Agent and/or Escrow Agent under Section 2.3(c), Section 2.4 or Section 8.2(c), as applicable, and accounting for all fees, expenses, distributions and payments in connection therewith;


	71

(iv)execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and any other Ancillary Document;

(v)agree to such amendments or modifications to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document as the Seller Representative, in its sole discretion, determines to be desirable; provided, that, in the event the express terms of such amendments or modification (A) adversely and disproportionately affect the rights or obligations of any Seller Party as compared to any other Seller Parties or (B) modify any payment reasonably expected to be made to or from any Seller Party, then such Seller Party shall provide its prior written consent for any such action to be taken;

(vi)enforce and protect the rights and interests of each Seller Party (including Seller Representative, in its capacity as a Seller) and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Seller Representative, in each case, arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any other Ancillary Document or the Transactions, and to take any and all actions which the Seller Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document for and on behalf of each Seller Party, including asserting or pursuing any claim, action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document (a “Claim”) against Buyer or its Affiliates, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Claims, conducting negotiations with Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective representatives regarding such Claims, and, in connection therewith, to: (A) assert or institute any Claim; (B) receive and accept services of legal process in connection with any Claim; (C) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any Claim initiated by Buyer or its Affiliates or any other Person, or by any federal, state or local Governmental Entity against any Seller, and receive process on behalf of any or all of Sellers in any such Claim and compromise or settle any such Claim on such terms as the Seller Representative determines to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to any such Claim; (D) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions in connection with any such Claim as the Seller Representative may deem advisable or necessary; and (E) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered with respect to any such Claims, it being understood that the Seller Representative (in its capacity as such) will not have any obligation to take any such actions, and, subject to Section 9.2, will not have any liability to any Seller Party for any failure to take any such actions;

(vii)refrain from enforcing any right of any Seller Party or the Seller Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Seller Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Seller Representative or by such Seller Party unless such waiver is in writing signed by the Seller Representative;


	72

(viii)engage counsel, accountants and other representatives in connection with carrying out its duties as the Seller Representative; and

(ix)make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Seller Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider desirable in connection with or to carry out the Transactions.

(b)Except as expressly set forth herein, the Seller Representative will not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services hereunder, but shall be entitled to the payment of all its out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred as Seller Representative. Each Seller Party shall pay on a pro rata basis all expenses and other charges and liabilities (including taxes) incurred by the Seller Representative or its Affiliates, including the fees and expenses of outside legal counsel, accountants and other advisors, in connection with the Transactions.

(c)All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Seller Representative under this Agreement will survive the Closing Date or any termination of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document.

(d)The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and survives the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller Party, (ii) will survive the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) shall be binding on each Seller Party’s successors, heirs and assigns.

(e)Each Buyer Party shall have the right to conclusively rely (without further inquiry or investigation) upon all actions taken (including any documents delivered) or omitted to be taken by the Seller Representative in its capacity as a representative of each Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Document, all of which actions and omissions shall be legally binding upon each Seller Party.

Section 9.2Limitations on Liability

(a)Each Buyer Party and each Seller Party acknowledge and agree that the Seller Representative, in its capacity as the Seller Representative, is a party to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents solely to perform certain administrative functions in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. Accordingly, each Buyer Party and each Seller Party acknowledge and agree that the Seller Representative has no liability to, and will not be liable for any Costs of, any Party or any other Person in connection with any obligations of the Seller Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any other Ancillary Document or otherwise in connection with the Transactions, except to the extent such Costs are proven to be the direct result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Seller Representative in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer Party will be responsible for any obligations of the Seller Representative (or any failure to comply with such obligations), including for any amounts relating to the Sellers’ Representative Costs.


	73

(c)Each Seller Party (i) agrees that all actions taken by the Seller Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any other Ancillary Document or otherwise in connection with the Transactions shall be binding upon such Seller Party and its successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Seller Party and (ii) waives any and all claims and defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Seller Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any other Ancillary Document or otherwise in connection with the Transactions.

Article X

. The term “this Agreement” means this Agreement together with the schedules and exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the schedules and exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (b) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (c) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (d) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (e) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars and (f) the term “or” shall not be exclusive and shall mean “and/or.” Where a reference in this Agreement is made (i) to any agreement (including this Agreement), contract, statute or regulation, such reference shall be to (except as context may otherwise require) the agreement, contract, statute or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (in the case of an agreement or contract, to the extent permitted by the terms thereof) and (ii) to any statute or regulation, such reference shall also be to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 10.7Exhibits and Schedules

. All exhibits and schedules are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section or subsection if the relevance of such disclosure to such other section or subsection is reasonably apparent. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any section of the Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement or whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has, would or could occur.


	76

Section 10.8No Third Party Beneficiaries

. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.6, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.9Severability

. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Section 10.10Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures

. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 10.11Knowledge

. For all purposes of this Agreement, (a) the phrase “to the knowledge of Sellers” and any derivations thereof shall mean, as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of the Persons set forth on Section 10.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedules after due and reasonable inquiry, none of whom shall have any personal liability or obligations regarding such knowledge, and (b) the phrase “to the knowledge of Buyer” and any derivations thereof shall mean, as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of the Persons set forth on Section 10.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedules after due and reasonable inquiry, none of whom shall have any personal liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.

Section 10.12No Recourse

. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, (a) each Buyer Party agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against, and no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, any past, present or future Group Company Related Person (other than Seller Parties, Management Holdings, the Seller Representative or the Acquired Companies in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any of their respective heirs and estates, whether by virtue of any legal or equitable proceeding or any statute, regulation or other applicable Law and (b) each Seller Party and Management Holdings agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against, and no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, any past, present or future Buyer Non-Recourse Party (other than Buyer Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or Guarantor under, and subject to the terms and limitations of, the Guaranty) or any of their respective heirs and estates, whether by virtue of any legal or equitable proceeding or any statute, regulation or other applicable Law. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, from and after the Closing, no Person will have any entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, it being agreed that all such entitlements, remedies and recourse are expressly waived and released by the Parties provided that this sentence shall not apply to any claim arising from Fraud or pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement.


	77

Section 10.13Governing Law

. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 10.14Jurisdiction and Venue

. Each of the Parties (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and (ii) to the extent the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court of the District of Delaware, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from any such courts, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.4. Nothing in this Section 10.14, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non‑appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 10.15WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE of action (A) arising under this Agreement or (B) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby further agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 10.16Specific Performance

(a)The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy in the event that the Seller Parties, Management Holdings, the Seller Representative and/or the Acquired Companies do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 , the Buyer Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief. In no case


	78

shall the Buyer Parties be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and the payment of any monetary damages. The Parties agree that none of the Seller Parties, Management Holdings, the Seller Representative and/or the Acquired Companies shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall be entitled to seek specific performance to prevent any breach by a Buyer Party of Section 6.3(a).

(b)The Parties further agree (i) the seeking of remedies pursuant to Section 10.16(a) shall not in any respect constitute a waiver by any Buyer Party seeking such remedies of its respective right to seek its remedies under Section 8.2(b), in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in Section 10.16(a) are not available or otherwise not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require any Buyer Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Buyer Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.16 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing its remedies after such termination pursuant to Section 8.2(b)), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding by any Buyer Party seeking remedies pursuant to Section 10.16(a) or anything set forth in this Section 10.16 restrict or limit Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII and pursue its remedies under Section 8.2(b).

Section 10.17Amendment

. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by Buyer and the Seller Representative. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 10.17 shall be void.

Section 10.18Extension; Waiver

. Subject to Section 8.1(d), at any time prior to the Closing, each of Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer Parties) and the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Seller Parties, Management Holdings, the Acquired Companies and itself) may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other Party contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by any other Party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance by any other Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. For purposes of this Section 10.18, the Buyer Parties shall be treated as a single Party, and the Seller Parties, Management Holdings, the Acquired Companies and the Seller Representative shall collectively be treated as a single Party.
