P. Xxxxx, NewCo REIT, Merger Sub, any other W. P. Xxxxx Subsidiary or CPA15 or CPA 15 Holdco to take any action with respect to their securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
Section 1.9. Recordation of Exchange; Payment of Merger Consideration.

(d) No Liability. None of W. P. Xxxxx, NewCo REIT, Merger Sub, or any employee, officer, director, partner, agent or Affiliate of any of them, shall be liable to any person for any part of the Per Share Merger Consideration or for dividends or distributions with respect thereto delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any shares of CPA15 Common Stock five years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any federal, state, local government, or agency or any court, regulatory or administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (a “Governmental Entity”), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of NewCo REIT or its designated Affiliate free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.
(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates for fractional shares of NewCo REIT Common Stock shall be issued hereunder. To the extent that a holder of CPA15 Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of NewCo REIT Common Stock, computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of CPA15 Common Stock held by such holder, such holder shall instead receive a cash payment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by $10.48.
- 5 -
(f) Paying and Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, W. P. Xxxxx shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to CPA15 to act as agent for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Paying and Exchange Agent”). W. P. Xxxxx shall take all steps necessary to enable, and shall cause, the Surviving Company to provide to the Paying and Exchange Agent immediately following the Effective Time the aggregate cash portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon cancellation of the CPA15 Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6. The funds deposited with the Paying and Exchange Agent in respect of the Per Share Merger Consideration is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the 10th Business Day thereafter, the Paying and Exchange Agent shall pay to each holder of CPA15 Common Stock the amount of cash such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(a).
(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of CPA15 Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to NewCo REIT or its designated Affiliate, upon demand, and any holder of CPA15 Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to NewCo REIT or its successor in interest for payment of its claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law).
(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying and Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by NewCo REIT, on a daily basis; provided, however, that such investments shall be in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (iii) certificates of deposit maturing not more than 180 days after the date of purchase issued by a bank organized under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus of at least $3,000,000,000 or (iv) a money market fund having assets of at least $1,000,000,000. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, NewCo REIT or its designated Affiliate.
(i) Withholding Rights. NewCo REIT or the Paying and Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of CPA15 Common Stock, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any such amounts so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of CPA15 Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(a) Subject to Section 6.1, none of CPA15, CPA 15 Holdco or any CPA15 Subsidiary shall, nor shall it authorize or permit, directly or indirectly, any officer, director, investment advisor, agent, investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant, broker, finder or other agent, representative or controlled Affiliate of CPA15, CPA 15 Holdco or any CPA15 Subsidiary to initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information or assistance) any inquiries or the making of any proposal or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any CPA15 Competing Transaction, or enter into discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a CPA15 Competing Transaction. CPA15 and CPA 15 Holdco shall, and shall cause the CPA15 Subsidiaries to, take all actions reasonably necessary to cause their respective officers, directors, investment advisors, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders and any other agents, representatives or controlled Affiliates to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any party or parties with respect to any CPA15 Competing Transaction.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, a “CPA15 Superior Competing Transaction” means a bona fide proposal for a CPA15 Competing Transaction made by a third party which the Board of Directors of CPA15 determines (after taking into account any amendment of the terms of the W. P. Xxxxx Conversion, the Reorganization or the Merger by W. P. Xxxxx and/or any proposal by W. P. Xxxxx to amend the terms of the Transaction Documents or W. P. Xxxxx Conversion, the Reorganization or the Merger), in good faith and after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, (i) is on terms which are more favorable from a financial point of view to the CPA15 Stockholders than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) would result in such third party owning, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the CPA15 Common Stock then outstanding (or all or substantially all of the equity of the surviving entity in a merger) or all or substantially all of the assets of CPA15 and the CPA15 Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) is reasonably capable of being consummated and (iv) was not solicited by CPA15, any CPA15 Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, investment advisors, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders and any other agents, representatives or controlled Affiliates in breach of this Section 4.6.

Section 4.9. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
It is understood and agreed that CPA15 shall indemnify and hold harmless, and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and NewCo REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless, each director and officer of CPA15 or any of the CPA15 Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), as and to the same extent as such Indemnified Parties are indemnified by CPA15 or the CPA15 Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 4.9, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall notify CPA15 and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and NewCo REIT, promptly thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of CPA15, the Surviving Company and NewCo REIT except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices such party.
NewCo REIT agrees that it shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time all rights to indemnification existing in favor of, and all limitations of the personal liability of, the directors and officers of CPA15 and the CPA15 Subsidiaries provided for in the CPA15 Charter or CPA15 Bylaws or any provision of the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of the CPA15 Subsidiaries, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including the Merger; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims (each a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Claim. Prior to the Effective Time, W. P. Xxxxx shall purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for CPA15’s and CPA15 Subsidiaries’ directors and officers, in a form reasonably acceptable to CPA15, which shall provide such directors and officers with runoff coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable on the whole to the insured persons than, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by CPA15 and the CPA15 Subsidiaries.
This Section 4.9 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of XxxXx XXXX, XXX00 and the Surviving Company. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 4.9.
In the event that NewCo REIT or the Surviving Company or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of NewCo REIT and the Surviving Company, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.9.

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 or the Effective Time of the Merger, CPA15 and CPA 15 Holdco each agrees that it will not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any CPA15 Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any CPA15 Subsidiary or any options, warrants or rights to acquire, or security convertible into, shares of CPA15 Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any CPA15 Subsidiary, except that CPA15 may complete any qualified redemptions pending as of the date of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Xxxxx and NewCo REIT agrees that it will not, other than in the ordinary course of business or in connection with the Reorganization, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Listed Shares, NewCo REIT Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any W. P. Xxxxx Subsidiary or any options, warrants or rights to acquire, or security convertible into, shares of Listed Shares or NewCo REIT Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any W. P. Xxxxx Subsidiary, in each case other than repurchases from employees or Affiliates of W. P. Xxxxx or any W. P. Xxxxx Subsidiary (including, for purposes of this Section 4.11, any holder of ten percent (10%) or more of (a) the Listed Shares or (b) stock or equity interests of any such W. P. Xxxxx Subsidiary).
Section 4.12. Access; Confidentiality. To the extent applicable, CPA15 and W. P. Xxxxx agree that upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required or restricted by applicable Law, each shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford the other’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its executive officers and to its properties, books, contracts and records and, during such period, each shall (and each shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other all information concerning its business, properties, personnel and litigation claims as may reasonably be requested but only to the extent such access does not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of such party; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made in this Agreement; provided further that the parties hereto shall not be required to provide information (i) in breach of applicable Law or (ii) that is subject to confidentiality obligations. Unless otherwise required by Law, the parties shall hold all information of the other party which is confidential and is reasonably identified as such or should reasonably be known to be confidential in confidence until such time as such information otherwise becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the receiving party. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, each party shall promptly return to such other party or destroy, providing reasonable evidence of such destruction, all such confidential information obtained from any other party, and any copies made of (and other extrapolations from or work product or analyses based on) such documents.
Section 4.13. NYSE Listing and Deregistration. Each of W. P. Xxxxx and NewCo REIT shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the NewCo REIT Common Stock to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date. W. P. Xxxxx and NewCo REIT shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary to enable the deregistration of the CPA15 Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing Date.

Xxxxx, Merger Sub, CPA 15 Holdco or CPA15, other than Section 7.2, this Section 7.3, Section 7.6 and Article VIII and except to the extent that such termination results from a willful breach by a party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or a failure or refusal by such party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby when such party was obligated to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 7.4. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties in writing by action of their respective Boards of Directors at any time before or after the CPA15 Stockholder Approval is obtained and prior to the filing of the Articles of Merger for the Merger with, and the acceptance for record of such Articles of Merger by, the SDAT; provided, however, that, after the CPA15 Stockholder Approval is obtained, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall alter the amount of the Per Share Merger Consideration to be delivered to the CPA15 Stockholders or alter or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement if such alteration or change would adversely affect the CPA15 Stockholders.

The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
Section 7.6. Payment of Expenses.
(a) In the event that CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx becomes obligated to pay any expenses under Section 7.2 (the “Expense Amount”), CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable, shall pay to the party entitled to receive such payment (the “Receiving Party”) from the amount deposited into escrow in accordance with this Section 7.6(a), an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Expense Amount and (ii) the sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to the Receiving Party without causing the Receiving Party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code for the year in which the Expense Amount would otherwise be payable, for this purpose treating such amount as income that does not qualify for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, as determined by the Receiving Party’s independent certified public accountants, plus (B) if the Receiving Party receives either (1) a letter from the Receiving Party’s counsel indicating that the Receiving Party has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 7.6(b) or (2) an opinion from the Receiving Party’s counsel as described in Section 7.6(b), an amount equal to the Expense Amount less the amount payable under clause (A) above. To the extent the entire Expense Amount is not paid to the Receiving Party in the year in which such amount would otherwise be payable as a result of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.6(a), the Expense Amount shall be carried forward to the succeeding year and shall be payable (as described above) in such succeeding year by applying the same formula and by deeming such Expense Amount as payable in such succeeding year. To the extent the full Expense Amount has not been paid in the initial and succeeding year, the amount shall similarly be carried forward for each of the next three taxable years. To the extent that the entire Expense Amount
- 44 -
has not been paid in the initial year, the succeeding year and the three following years, the Expense Amount shall be forfeited by the Receiving Party. To secure the obligation of CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable, to pay these amounts, CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable, shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Expense Amount with an escrow agent selected by CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable, and on such terms (subject to Section 7.6(b)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable, the Receiving Party and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the Expense Amount pursuant to this Section 7.6(a) shall be made at the time CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable, would otherwise be obligated to pay the Receiving Party pursuant to Section 7.2.
(b) The escrow agreement shall provide that the Expense Amount in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to the Receiving Party unless the escrow agent receives any of the following: (i) a letter from the Receiving Party’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Receiving Party without causing the payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income that qualifies for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) or a subsequent letter from the Receiving Party’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the Receiving Party, or (ii) a letter from the Receiving Party’s counsel indicating that the Receiving Party received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Receiving Party of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) (or alternatively, the Receiving Party’s counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by the Receiving Party of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3)of the Code), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Expense Amount to the Receiving Party. CPA15 and W. P. Xxxxx each agree to amend this Section 7.6 at the request of the Receiving Party in order to (A) maximize the portion of the Expense Amount that may be distributed to the Receiving Party hereunder without causing the Receiving Party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, (B) improve the likelihood of the Receiving Party securing a ruling described in this Section 7.6(b), or (C) assist the Receiving Party in obtaining a legal opinion from its counsel as described in this Section 7.6(b). The escrow agreement shall also provide that any portion of the Expense Amount not paid to the Receiving Party in the initial year and the four succeeding years shall be released by the escrow agent to CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx, as applicable. Unless such party is the Receiving Party, none of CPA15 or W. P. Xxxxx shall be a party to such escrow agreement and neither shall bear any cost of or have liability resulting from the escrow agreement.
