R E C I T A L S:

A. Indemnitee (as successor-in-interest to XXXX, LLC, a New York limited liability company) and Dearborn Center, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of August 28, 2006 (as the same may have been amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby Seller agreed to sell, and Indemnitee agreed to purchase, the real property and improvements commonly known as Citadel Center and located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and certain other related property (collectively, the “Property”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

B. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association (the “Lender”), is providing mortgage and mezzanine financing (collectively, the “Loan”) in connection with Indemnitee’s purchase of the Property, and is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement as hereafter provided.

C. This Agreement is intended to constitute the “One X. Xxxxxx Guaranty” pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Purchase Agreement.

D. Simultaneously herewith, the parties hereto have entered into a certain escrow agreement (a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit A hereto) by and among Indemnitor, on the one hand, Indemnitee, on the other hand, and Lender, as escrow agent (in such capacity, the “Escrow Agent”), which is intended to constitute (and is herein referred to as) the “One X. Xxxxxx Escrow Agreement” pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Purchase Agreement. The sums held pursuant to such One X. Xxxxxx Escrow Agreement are referred to herein as the “Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds.”

E. Near North National Title LLC (the “Title Company”) is currently holding sums in escrow that were deposited (and continue to be held and disbursed) pursuant to the terms of that certain Strict Joint Order Escrow Agreement dated as of December 26, 2002 by and among One X. Xxxxxx Drive Chicago LP, Citadel Investment Group, L.L.C. (“Citadel”), Seller and Title Company (the “SDMA Escrow Agreement”), such SDMA Escrow Agreement having been made in connection with that certain Sublease dated October 10, 2002 between Citadel, as sublandlord, and Sedgwick, Detert, Xxxxx and Xxxxxx LLP, as subtenant, with respect to a portion of the One X. Xxxxxx Space. The sums held pursuant to such SDMA Escrow Agreement are referred to herein as the “SDMA Sublease Escrow Funds.”

F. Indemnitor is an affiliate of Seller, and as such is deriving a substantial benefit from the sale of the Property.

G. Indemnitee’s agreement to purchase the Property is made in reliance upon Indemnitor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, failing which, Indemnitee would not have agreed to consummate the purchase of the Property.

A G R E E M E N T

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Indemnitee as follows:

1. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “One X. Xxxxxx Obligations” shall mean the agreements, covenants and obligations of the landlord under Section 43 of that certain Lease Agreement dated February 9, 2001 by and between Seller, as landlord, and Citadel, as tenant (such Lease Agreement, as the same has been amended from time to time through the date hereof, the “Citadel Lease”; the holder from time to time of the tenant’s interest under the Citadel Lease, the “Citadel Lease Tenant”). Nothing herein contained is intended to limit Indemnitee’s right, in its capacity following the Closing as the landlord under the Citadel Lease, to freely modify the Citadel Lease, it being understood that Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder are limited to the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations as are in effect as of the date hereof. The documents and instruments comprising the Citadel Lease as are currently in effect are listed on Schedule 1 annexed hereto. Indemnitor hereby represents and warrants to Indemnitee that, except as set forth in Section 43 of the Citadel Lease, there are no existing obligations of the landlord under the Citadel Lease relating to space other than the space located at the Property as demised pursuant to the Citadel Lease.

Indemnification.

(a) Indemnitor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee, its successors and assigns subject to the provisions of Section 9(j) below, from and against any and all suits, claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any and all court costs, penalties and fines), that may at any time be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against Indemnitee based on, relating to, or arising out of or resulting from the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations, including, without limitation, any abatements and/or offsets of any nature under the Citadel Lease of which the Citadel Lease Tenant may avail itself to the extent based on, relating to, or arising out of or resulting from the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the consummation of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement and the assumption of the Citadel Lease in accordance therewith, the intention of the parties with respect to such assumption is and has been (and as an express inducement for Indemnitee to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the parties’ understanding is and was) that the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations were, following the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, to be the responsibility of the Indemnitor.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject in all events to Section 3 hereof and to the One X. Xxxxxx Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 13.B thereof), Indemnitee acknowledges that Indemnitor has the right (as provided in

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

Section 3.5 of the Purchase Agreement) to first look to obtain the release of the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds to be used for the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations before funding any of the Indemnified Matters from its own funds.

3. Payment and Reimbursement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Indemnitor shall pay all sums required to satisfy the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations as and when due (subject to any applicable notice and cure period(s), and subject, further, to Indemnitee’s delivery to Indemnitor of the invoices and other materials required pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, to the extent not otherwise furnished or known to Indemnitor), failing which, Indemnitee shall have the right to deliver written notice of such failure to Indemnitor, and, if such sums are not paid within ten (10) days following Indemnitee’s delivery to Indemnitor of such notice, then Indemnitee shall have the right to pay any and all such sums (including any late fees and other penalties) and Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee therefor (together with interest accruing on all sums paid by Indemnitee from the date when paid by Indemnitee until paid by Indemnitor at the “prime rate” plus two (2.0%) percent), promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s written demand therefor. In furtherance of the foregoing, Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Indemnitor and to Lender copies of all invoices and other material correspondence and documents it receives from the Citadel Lease Tenant with respect to the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations. The term “prime rate” shall mean the rate per annum (rounded to the nearest basis point) announced by the Escrow Agent from time to time as its base lending rate in effect at its principal office. Each change in the “prime rate” shall be effective on the date such change is announced to become effective.

4. Management of Subleasing. Indemnitor represents and warrants to Indemnitee that (i) Seller and Citadel have entered into a certain letter agreement dated May 29, 2002, as amended by that certain letter agreement dated as of May, 2004 (as so amended and as it may be further amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Asset Management Agreement”), (ii) a true, correct and complete copy of such Asset Management Agreement is annexed as Exhibit B hereto, (iii) except as may be set forth on said Exhibit B, the Asset Management Agreement has been neither amended nor modified, and (iv) the Asset Management Agreement is in full force and effect. Simultaneously with the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, the Asset Management Agreement has been assigned by Seller to Indemnitee on the date hereof pursuant to a certain assignment of even date herewith. Indemnitee hereby revocably assigns and Indemnitor hereby assumes (such assignment and assumption, the “AMA Assignment”), the rights and obligations of the Seller under the Asset Management Agreement, provided, that the AMA Assignment may only be revoked by Indemnitee upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Indemnitor in the event of Indemnitor’s default hereunder, which default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and is not otherwise cured within such five (5) Business Day period. The AMA Assignment shall be subject to the rights of Lender to succeed to the interest of Indemnitee hereunder under any collateral assignment hereof made by Indemnitee to Lender. Accordingly, without limiting the foregoing, for so long as the AMA Assignment is in effect, Indemnitor shall have (x) the right and the obligation to manage the subleasing of the One X. Xxxxxx Space, and (y) subject to the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the right to effectuate new subleases and/or modifications of the current subleases affecting the One X. Xxxxxx Space, but in each case subject to and in accordance with the Asset Management

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

Agreement. Neither party hereto may amend, modify or terminate the Asset Management Agreement without the consent of the other party hereto (such consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (provided, that no such consent shall be necessary following a revocation of the AMA Assignment in accordance with the terms hereof). If (a) Indemnitee, following its receipt of a request for any consent referred to either in the preceding sentence or in clause (y) above, or (b) Indemnitor, following its receipt of a request for any consent referred to in the preceding sentence, shall, in any case, not respond in writing to the requesting party within twelve (12) Business Days after receipt of any such request, then the non-requesting party’s consent to the request in question shall be deemed granted, provided, that the notice wherein such request is contained shall refer to this Agreement and shall state in bold upper case type on the first page thereof: “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITHIN TWELVE (12) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED CONSENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 4 OF THE REFERENCED AGREEMENT.”

SDMA Escrow Agreement.

(a) Indemnitor represents and warrants to Indemnitee that (i) a true, correct and complete copy of the SDMA Escrow Agreement is annexed as Exhibit C hereto, (ii) except as may be set forth on said Exhibit C, the SDMA Escrow Agreement has been neither amended nor modified, (iii) the SDMA Escrow Agreement is in full force and effect, and (iv) the amount of the SDMA Sublease Escrow Funds is currently equal to Six Hundred Ninety One Thousand Two Hundred Seventy and 60/100ths Dollars($691,270.60). Simultaneously with the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, Seller’s interest in the SDMA Escrow Agreement has been assigned to Indemnitee pursuant to a certain assignment of even date herewith. Indemnitee hereby revocably assigns and Indemnitor hereby assumes (such assignment and assumption, the “SDMA Escrow Assignment”), the rights and the obligations of the Seller under the SDMA Escrow Agreement, provided, that the SDMA Escrow Assignment may only be revoked by Indemnitee upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Indemnitor in the event of Indemnitor’s default hereunder, which default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and is not otherwise cured within such five (5) Business Day period. The SDMA Escrow Assignment shall be subject to the rights of Lender to succeed to the interest of Indemnitee hereunder under any collateral assignment hereof made by Indemnitee to Lender. Neither party hereto may amend or modify the SDMA Escrow Assignment without the consent of the other party hereto (such consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If either party, following its receipt of a request for any consent referred to in the preceding sentence, shall not respond in writing to the requesting party within twelve (12) Business Days after receipt of any such request, then the non-requesting party’s consent to the request in question shall be deemed granted, provided, that the notice wherein such request is contained shall refer to this Agreement and shall state in bold upper case type on the first page thereof: “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITHIN TWELVE (12) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED CONSENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(a) OF THE REFERENCED AGREEMENT.”

(b) Indemnitor covenants and agrees that if any portion (the “Released Portion”) of the SDMA Sublease Escrow Funds is disbursed to any person or entity other than the (x) landlord of the One X. Xxxxxx Space in reduction of the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations or

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

(y) the Seller in accordance with the terms of the SDMA Escrow Agreement, then the Indemnitor shall promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days of such disbursement, cause funds in an amount equal to the Released Portion to be added to the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds pursuant to the One X. Xxxxxx Escrow Agreement.

(c) Indemnitor acknowledges that Indemnitee has pledged to Lender all of Indemnitee’s right, title and interest in and to the SDMA Escrow Agreement and the SDMA Sublease Escrow Funds, it being expressly understood, however, that the SDMA Sublease Escrow Funds are not, under any circumstances, deemed to be collateral for the Loan.

6. Cooperation. Indemnitee shall reasonably and promptly cooperate in good faith with Indemnitor in connection with the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Indemnitee agrees, in acting in its capacity as the landlord under the Citadel Lease and in connection with the enforcement of its rights with respect to the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations, to promptly act or not act, as the case may be, with respect to such rights pursuant to Indemnitor’s reasonable direction from time to time. In addition, Indemnitee agrees that it shall not amend or modify Section 43 of the Citadel Lease without the consent of Indemnitor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as it does not increase Indemnitor’s obligations (other than in the case of monetary obligations, to more than a de minimus extent) or limit Indemnitee’s rights (to more than a de minimus extent) under this Agreement, the One X. Xxxxxx Escrow Agreement, the Citadel Lease or the SDMA Escrow Agreement or any related document). If Indemnitor, following its receipt of Indemnitee’s request for any consent referred to in the preceding sentence, shall not respond in writing thereto within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, then the Indemnitor’s consent to the request in question shall be deemed granted, provided, that the notice wherein such request is contained shall refer to this Agreement and shall state in bold upper case type on the first page thereof: “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED CONSENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 4 OF THE REFERENCED AGREEMENT.”

certification that a copy of the same has been delivered to Purchaser, (ii) include reasonably detailed back-up information supporting the request made thereby, (iii) specify whether the funds requested thereby shall be paid to the Citadel Lease Tenant or, subject to and in accordance with Section 7 hereof, PGRLP (provided, that in the case of a request for disbursal directly to PGRLP, satisfactory evidence of the prior payment by PGRLP of the requested sums shall be included with any such PGRLP Disbursement Request), and (iv) such further information and materials as provided in Section 6.G hereof.

B.

Any Purchaser Objection Notice shall include (i) Purchaser’s certification that a copy of the same has been delivered to PGRLP, (ii) specific reasons for such objection, and (iii) the amount of the disbursement request to which an objection is being raised.

D. Upon receipt of a Purchaser Disbursement Request, Escrow Agent shall proceed with payment of the requested funds pursuant to the direction therein contained, provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor such Purchaser Disbursement Request until not less than seven (7) business days after the date on which the Escrow Agent shall have delivered a copy of such Purchaser Disbursement Request to PGRLP, nor thereafter (except as hereafter provided) if during such seven (7) business day period the Escrow Agent shall have received an objection in writing to such payment from PGRLP (a “PGRLP Objection Notice”). Any PGRLP Objection Notice shall include (i) PGRLP’s certification that a copy of the same has been delivered to Purchaser, (ii) specific reasons for such objection, and (iii) the amount of the disbursement request to which an objection is being raised.

E.

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

F. Escrow Agent agrees, (x) promptly following its receipt of any PGRLP Disbursement Request or PGRLP Objection Notice, to deliver a copy thereof to Purchaser, and (y) promptly following its receipt of any Purchaser Disbursement Request or Purchaser Objection Notice, to deliver a copy thereof to PGRLP.

G. PGRLP shall submit to Escrow Agent as part of any PGRLP Disbursement Request made hereunder such reasonably detailed back-up information as may be necessary in order to reasonably evidence to Escrow Agent and to Purchaser that any sums that have been disbursed since the time of the previous draw by PGRLP under this Escrow Agreement by the Title Company under the SDMA Escrow Agreement to PGRLP, have theretofor been paid by PGRLP or the Title Company to the Citadel Lease Tenant and/or the landlord of the One X. Xxxxxx Space in satisfaction of the portion of the One North Xxxxxx Obligations covered by such disbursed portion of the SDMA Sublease Escrow Funds; it being understood that, if PGRLP shall fail to so reasonably evidence such prior payment to such parties, then Escrow Agent shall in such case hold back from the sums requested pursuant to the applicable PGRLP Disbursement Request a sum equal to any such sums theretofor disbursed by Title Company since the time of the previous draw by PGRLP under this Escrow Agreement (or in the case of the first draw, since the date hereof), and such held back sums shall continue to be held as Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds hereunder until such evidence is provided.

7. In the event that the Escrow Agent continues to hold any Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds on the date that the One X. Xxxxxx Obligations expire or otherwise terminate in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Citadel Lease (the “Termination Date”), then PGRLP shall have the right to send a notice to Escrow Agent requesting the disbursal to PGRLP of all then remaining Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds (a “Final Disbursement Request Notice”), a copy of which Final Disbursement Notice shall be simultaneously delivered to Purchaser. Any Final Disbursement Request Notice shall include (i) PGRLP’s certification that a copy of the same has been delivered to Purchaser, and (ii) reasonably detailed back-up information supporting the request made thereby. Upon receipt of a Final Disbursement Request Notice, Escrow Agent shall proceed with payment of the requested funds pursuant to the direction therein contained, provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor such Final Disbursement Request Notice until not less than ten (10) business days after the date on which the Escrow Agent shall have delivered a copy of such Final Disbursement Request Notice to Purchaser, nor thereafter (except as hereafter provided) if during such ten (10) business day period the Escrow Agent shall have received an objection in writing to such payment from Purchaser (“Final Disbursement Objection Notice”), a copy of which Final Disbursement Objection Notice shall be simultaneously delivered to PGRLP. Any Final Disbursement Objection Notice shall include (i) Purchaser’s certification that a copy of same has been delivered to PGRLP, (ii) specific reasons for such objection, and (iii) the amount of the Final Disbursement Request Notice to which an objection is being raised. If Escrow Agent receives a Final Disbursement Objection Notice, Escrow Agent shall not disburse the requested funds unless it receives a joint written direction to do so from both Purchaser and PGRLP or a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction. Escrow Agent agrees, promptly following its receipt of either a Final Disbursement Request Notice or a Final Disbursement Objection Notice, to deliver a copy thereof to the other party hereto.

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

8. Except as provided in Sections 5, 6 and 9 of this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard, in its sole discretion, any and all notices or warnings given by any of the parties hereto, or by any other person or corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to regard and to comply with and obey any and all orders, judgments or decrees entered or issued by any court having jurisdiction, and in case the said Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any such court it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. In case of any suit or proceeding regarding this escrow, to which said Escrow Agent is or may at any time become a party, PGRLP and Purchaser will each pay one-half to said Escrow Agent upon demand of any and all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether such attorneys shall be regularly retained or specifically employed) which it may incur or become liable for on account thereof.

9. Notwithstanding anything otherwise herein set forth, subject to the General Provisions set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Escrow Agreement and specifically incorporated herein by reference, in no case shall the above mentioned deposits be surrendered except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or in obedience of the process or order of court as aforesaid.

10. The Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds may be invested on behalf of PGRLP and at PGRLP’s direction, provided, that, (x) in no event shall the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds be invested other than in (i) bonds, notes, Treasury Bills or other securities in each case constituting the direct obligation of, or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America, or (ii) an interest-bearing account of Escrow Agent, (y) any direction to Escrow Agent for such investment shall be expressed in writing, and (z) Escrow Agent is in receipt of the taxpayer’s identification number and investment forms as may be required by Escrow Agent. Earnings arising from the investment of funds deposited hereunder, less the cost of making such investment (collectively, the “Earnings”), shall be paid to or for the account of PGRLP. Within thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar quarter occurring during the term of this Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall send an accounting to PGRLP and Purchaser of all Earnings for such calendar quarter along with payment to PGRLP of fifty percent (50%) of the Earnings for such quarter. The remaining Earnings shall be included and held as Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Escrow Agent will, upon request, furnish information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment.

11. Except as to deposits of funds for which Escrow Agent has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling as provided in Section 9 hereof, the parties hereto agree that the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any deposits at any time held by it hereunder; and, further, that Escrow Agent may commingle such deposits with other deposits in the manner provided for the administration of funds under Section 3 of Illinois Banking and Finance Act (Chap. 17, Para. 1555 Ill. Rev. Stat.), provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Escrow Agent’s obligation to apply the full amount of the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

12. In the event the Escrow Agent is requested to invest deposits hereunder, Escrow Agent is not to be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest which may be incurred as a result of making the investments or redeeming said investment for the purposes of these escrow instructions, unless Escrow Agent shall act with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

A. For purposes hereof, the following terms have the following meanings, respectively:

(iii) “Approved Leasing Costs” means reasonable and customary leasing and brokerage commissions incurred in connection with, and any direct payments and work allowances paid or granted to or for the benefit of the subtenant under a sublease heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Citadel Lease Tenant with respect to the One X.

Each request for disbursals pursuant to this Section 13.C shall (a) specify the amount requested and describe in reasonable detail the applicable Approved Leasing Costs to be paid for with the requested funds, (b) include copies of the invoices to be paid with the requested funds and partial lien waivers (and, in the case of a request for reimbursement, copies of paid invoices), (c) in the case of a request for payment of leasing commissions, include a true, correct and complete copy of the agreement(s), with the applicable broker or agent pursuant to which a commission is due, and (d) include or be thereafter supplemented with such other evidence as Escrow Agent shall reasonably request in order to evidence that any tenant improvements which comprise the applicable Approved Leasing Costs and which are to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement.

14.

Indemnitee shall have the right to collaterally assign this Agreement and all its right, title and interest hereunder to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (in its capacity as the Lender) or any such other party in connection with any such financing, provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds be deemed to be additional collateral for the Loan, and, provided, further, however, that Purchaser’s default, if any, under the Loan, shall not be a basis for Escrow Agent’s refusal to fund disbursals of the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds as otherwise provided for herein.

18. At the option of Escrow Agent, the Purchase Agreement Escrow Funds may be held by a servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Escrow Agent and Servicer.

19.

21. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall create any agency, fiduciary, joint venture or partnership relationship between Escrow Agent, PGRLP and Purchaser. PGRLP and Purchaser each agree that nothing contained in this Agreement, nor any course of dealing among the parties to this Agreement, shall constitute a commitment or other obligation on the part of Escrow Agent to extend credit to PGRLP or Purchaser.

RSDOCS1\1344279.8

A disbursement request or objection notice will be deemed to have been wrongfully delivered by Purchaser or PGRLP, as the case may be, if, in the case of a disbursement request, the party that delivers any such request knew or reasonably should have known that such party was not entitled to the sums (or applicable portion thereof) requested thereby, and in the case of an objection notice, the party delivering any such objection knew or reasonably should have known that the requesting party was entitled to the sums requested thereby.

23.
