(b) The Paladin Parties shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Person and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. As of the Closing Date, Paladin shall assign to Parent each confidentiality agreement executed by a Person other than Parent, if any, within the 12-month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal. To the extent any such confidentiality agreement is not assignable, the Paladin Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure their rights and ensure the performance of such other Person’s obligations under the relevant confidentiality agreement and, to the extent provided or permitted thereunder, to require such other Person to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(c) Paladin and Paladin OP shall promptly, and in any event within forty-eight hours after receipt, notify Parent of the receipt of (i) an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information relating to Paladin, Paladin OP or any Subsidiaries (other than requests for information unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal) or (iii) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, which any director or executive officer of Paladin OP or any Representatives for any Paladin Party may receive after the date hereof.

EXECUTION COPY

(d) Subject to Paladin OP’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2, and only prior to the Paladin Shareholder Approval, following the receipt by Paladin, Paladin OP or any Subsidiary of a written Acquisition Proposal, the Paladin Board may (directly or through Representatives) (i) contact such Person and its advisors solely for the purpose of clarifying the proposal and any material terms thereof and the conditions to consummation, so as to determine whether the proposal for an Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and (ii) if the Paladin Board determines in good faith following consultation with Paladin’s legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, the Paladin Board thereafter may (A) furnish non-public information with respect to Paladin OP and the Subsidiaries to the Person who made such proposal (provided that Paladin OP (I) has previously or concurrently furnished such information to Parent and (II) shall furnish such information pursuant to a confidentiality agreement which is at least as favorable to Paladin OP as the Confidentiality Agreement), (B) participate in negotiations regarding such proposal, (C) following receipt of a written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, (x) recommend that Paladin’s shareholders approve such Superior Proposal and, in connection therewith, effect a Change in Recommendation and (y) authorize Paladin OP to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of such Superior Proposal; provided that (1) the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 7.2, (2) prior to taking any foregoing action, the Paladin Board determines in good faith that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (3) the Paladin Board determines in good faith following consultation with Paladin’s legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, and (4) Paladin OP shall not enter into any such agreement unless this Agreement shall have been terminated by Paladin OP in accordance with Section 9.1(i) and Paladin shall have paid the Break Fee to Parent. Nothing in this Section 7.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Paladin Board from (i) at any time prior to obtaining Paladin Shareholder Approval and other than in response to an Acquisition Proposal, effecting a Change in Recommendation in the event that the Paladin Board has determined in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of Paladin under applicable Law, or (ii) taking and disclosing to the Paladin shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any required disclosure to Paladin’s shareholders under applicable Law, including Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A; provided, however, that neither Paladin OP nor the Paladin Board shall be permitted to recommend that Paladin Shareholders tender any securities in connection with any tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal) or withdraw or modify the Paladin Recommendation, unless in each case such tender or exchange offer constitutes a Superior Proposal and, in connection therewith, effects a Change in Recommendation and Paladin shall have paid the Break Fee to Parent. In addition, nothing in this Section 7.2(d) shall prohibit Paladin or Paladin OP from taking any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders Paladin or Paladin OP to take pursuant to an Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not fewer than 36 hours prior to any determination by the Paladin Board that the proposal for an Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, Parent shall be notified orally and in writing of the Paladin Board’s intention to take such action and the Paladin Parties shall negotiate in good faith with Parent concerning any such new proposal by Parent prior to the expiration of such 36-hour period; provided, that Paladin shall promptly notify Parent thereafter if the Paladin Board determines that an Acquisition Proposal is not, and is unlikely to become, a Superior Proposal.

Section 7.3 Further Action; Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Partnership Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using its reasonable efforts to obtain all Permits, Consents, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities with Paladin OP and the Subsidiaries as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fulfill the conditions to the Partnership Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each of the Parties hereto agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any Action, including administrative or judicial Action, asserted by any party in order to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed, terminated or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that in whole or in part restricts, delays, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Partnership Merger.

All Paladin Returns shall be timely prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of Paladin OP and the Subsidiaries with respect to the treatment of specific items on the Paladin Returns, unless such treatment does not have sufficient legal support to avoid the imposition of penalties, fines, or similar amounts. Paladin shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of the Paladin Returns to be submitted to Parent at least fifteen (15) calendar days before the due date for the filing of the Paladin Return (taking into account any extensions) and Parent shall have the right to review and comment on the Paladin Returns. Paladin shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all reasonable comments from Parent to be reflected on the Paladin Returns to the extent the comments are consistent with the standard set forth above.

All Buyer Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the past practice of Paladin OP and the Subsidiaries with respect to the treatment of specific items on Parent Returns, unless such treatment does not have sufficient legal support to avoid the imposition of penalties, fines, or similar amounts. Parent shall submit each of the Buyer Returns to Paladin at least fifteen (15) calendar days before the due date for the filing of the Buyer Return (taking into account any extensions) and Paladin shall have the right to review and comment on the Buyer Returns. Parent shall reflect all reasonable comments from Paladin on the Buyer Returns to the extent such comments are consistent with the standard set forth above. At least five (5) calendar days before each Buyer Return is due to be filed, Paladin shall pay to Parent the amount of Taxes shown as payable on the Buyer Return that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and any refunds due to Paladin OP shall be paid by Parent to Paladin.

(iii) Paladin and Parent shall not take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that may prevent the Tax year of Paladin OP or any of the Subsidiaries from ending for all relevant Tax purposes at the end of the day on which the Closing occurs and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant taxing authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of Paladin OP and each of the Subsidiaries.

(d) Books and Records; Cooperation. Paladin and Parent shall, and shall cause their representatives and Affiliates to, (i) provide the other party and its representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, including the filing of any claim for refund resulting from a carryback of any net operating losses, or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to Paladin OP or any of the Subsidiaries or the computation or verification of amounts under this Section 7.4 and (ii) retain and provide the other party and its representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided thereunder, provided that the foregoing shall be done at the expense of the party making such request and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties.

(e) Straddle Period Allocation. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes for a Straddle Period, (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of Paladin OP or any of the Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass through entity in which Paladin OP or any of the Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (ii) the amount of other Taxes of Paladin OP or any of the Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(f) Paladin shall obtain the tax opinion described in Section 8.2(e)(ix) dated as of the Closing Date.

Section 7.5 Public Announcements.

EXECUTION COPY

(ii) During the Due Diligence Period, all information obtained by Parent pursuant to this Section 7.8(b) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(iii) The cost of the inspections and tests undertaken pursuant to this Section 7.8(b) shall be borne solely by Parent. Parent shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold the Paladin Parties, their lenders, and their Affiliates, owners, agents and employees harmless from and against any claim for damage to property or injury to or death of any persons arising from the acts of Parent or its Representatives occurring as a direct result of such inspections, tests or examinations of any Property; provided, however, that if any such damage or injury is reasonably likely to be covered by insurance, the Paladin Parties shall seek coverage thereunder prior to making any claim for indemnification.

(a) by Parent, on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, if (i) any Phase I environmental report, engineering report or title report on the Properties discloses any information that is materially different from the Phase I environmental report or engineering report that has been made available to Parent as of the date hereof and where such difference, individually, would reasonably be likely to cause a Property Material Adverse Effect or a Paladin Material Adverse Effect to occur or (ii) any title, survey or zoning matter is unacceptable to Parent, in its reasonable discretion, except with respect to Existing Mortgage Indebtedness set forth on Section 1.1(u) of the Paladin Disclosure Schedule and except further to the extent Parent has actual knowledge of any such matters prior to the Agreement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) if Parent determines that a Property Material Adverse Effect is likely to occur and not be covered by insurance in connection with (i) the restoration of, or water intrusion issues at, the Stone Ridge Property or (ii) the resolution of the matter disclosed in Item 2 in Section 4.17(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(f) by Paladin OP, by notice to Parent (i) if any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer Parties herein shall have been inaccurate as of the date of this Agreement, such that the condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) would be incapable of being satisfied, (ii) if any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer Parties herein shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date), such that the condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) would be incapable of being satisfied or (iii) if any of the covenants of the Buyer Parties herein contained in this Agreement shall have been breached by any of the Buyer Parties such that the condition set forth in Section 8.3(b) would be incapable of being satisfied, and, in each case, to the extent curable, the inaccuracy or breach shall not have been cured within fifteen (15) days after notice by Paladin OP to Parent pursuant to this Section 9.1(f);

(g) by Paladin OP or Parent if the Paladin Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Paladin Shareholder Meeting upon a vote taken on the Partnership Merger;

(iii) if the Paladin Board hereafter exempts any Person other than Parent or any of its Affiliates from the provisions of Article VII of the Paladin Charter or is required to provide such exemption by the terms of Article VII of the Paladin Charter; or

Section 9.3 Fees and Expenses.

(i) if this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(a), by mutual written consent of Parent and Paladin OP pursuant to Section 9.1(b), by either Parent or Paladin OP pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or by either Parent or Paladin OP pursuant to Section 9.1(d), then Paying Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Parent, including all accrued interest and dividends thereon (if any).

(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Parent as a result of a breach of the covenant contained in Section 7.8(b)(v) or Section 9.1(e) (other than as a result of a breach of the exclusivity provisions contained in Section 7.8(a)), then (x) Paying Agent shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Parent, including all accrued interest and dividends thereon (if any), and (y) Paladin shall be responsible for all accountable Expenses of the Buyer Parties up to an aggregate maximum amount of $500,000.
