    “If the
Representative does not give written notice of dispute (an “Aggregate Consideration
Dispute Notice”) to Parent OP by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
30th
calendar day following receipt of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, the
Representative (on behalf of the Contributors) and the Parent Parties agree that
the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final
Net Working Capital, Paid Post-Signing Allowances and Commissions, Closing Date
Funded Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses and Aggregate Consideration
Value, in each case, for all purposes hereunder
(including, without limitation, the determination of the Actual
Adjustment).  If the Representative gives an Aggregate Consideration
Dispute Notice to Parent OP (which Aggregate Consideration Dispute Notice must
set forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts in dispute and all other
items and amounts not so disputed shall be deemed final) within such 30-day
period, Parent OP and the Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve
the dispute during the 30-day period commencing on the date Parent OP receives
the applicable Aggregate Consideration Dispute Notice from the
Representative.  If the Representative and Parent OP do not agree upon
a final resolution with respect to such disputed items within such 30-day
period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to
PricewaterhouseCoopers or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to serve, to an
independent nationally-recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent
OP and the Representative (excluding their respective regularly used accounting
firms) (such accounting firm, the “Accounting
Firm”).  Parent OP and the Representative shall request the
Accounting Firm to render a determination (which determination shall be made
consistent with the terms of this Agreement for calculating the amount(s) in
dispute) with respect to the applicable dispute within 45 days after referral of
the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and
must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor.  The
determination made by the Accounting Firm with respect to each of the remaining
disputed items (and only the remaining disputed items) shall not be greater than
or less than the amounts proposed by the Representative and Parent OP, as the
case may be, for each of such disputed items.  The terms of
appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon
between the Representative and Parent OP, and any associated engagement fees
shall initially be borne by Parent OP; provided, that such
fees shall ultimately be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3(d)(iii).  The
Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator and not an expert and the
determination of such Accounting Firm shall constitute an arbitral award and
shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parent Parties, the Contributors and
the Representative upon which a judgment may be rendered by a court having
proper jurisdiction thereover.  Parent OP and the Representative shall
jointly revise the Proposed Closing Date Calculations as appropriate to reflect
the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(d)(ii),
and, as revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set
forth the final Net Working Capital, Paid Post-Signing Allowances and
Commissions, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses and
Aggregate Consideration Value, in each case, for all purposes hereunder
(including, without limitation, the determination of the Actual
Adjustment).  The procedures set forth in this Section 2.3
shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the determination of the
Aggregate Consideration Value and any disputes with respect to any components
thereof.”

Contributors), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) any amount
included in the calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Consideration Value or

of Severance, Employment and Shut-Down Costs) over (y) the excess of

Affiliates (including the Group Companies) after Closing to the landlord(s)
under the Corporate Office Lease over (B) an amount equal to the rent for
the month of September, 2010 under the Corporate Office Lease; provided,

    20.        Entire Agreement;
Assignment.

     

    (a)        This
Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and Amendment
No. 2 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements among the parties
hereto respecting the same.  The parties hereto have voluntarily
agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the
subject matter hereof exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and
provisions of this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment
No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that
they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth
in this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and
Amendment No. 2 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents.  Furthermore, the parties hereto each hereby
acknowledges that this Amendment embodies the justifiable expectations of
sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations; all parties to
this Amendment specifically acknowledge that no party has any special
relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that
of ordinary parties in an arm’s-length transaction.  The sole and
exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Amendment,
the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2
thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, the
Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto),
the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, made
in connection herewith, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1
and Amendment No. 2 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Amendment,
the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2
thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related
to the Contemplated Transactions shall be those remedies available at law or in
equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been
further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of the Contribution
Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto), the
Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents); and each
party hereto hereby agrees that no party hereto shall have any remedies or cause
of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications,
disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth
in this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 and
Amendment No. 2 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims by any
Parent Party against any Contributor, to the extent arising from the Fraud of
such Contributor, shall not be prohibited by this Section 20.

    (b)        This
Amendment may not be assigned by any party (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of Parent REIT, Parent OP, the
Company and the Representative.  Any attempted assignment of this
Amendment not in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 shall
be void; provided, however, that so long
as such assignment would not prevent or materially impair or delay the Closing
of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub may
assign this Amendment and any of their rights under this Amendment to one or
more Affiliates of Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub; provided, that any
such assignment shall not relieve Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub of any of
their obligations hereunder.

     

    21.        Governing
Law.  This Amendment, and all claims or causes of action
(whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to
this Amendment, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Amendment
(including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to
any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Amendment or
as an inducement to enter into this Amendment), shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware as applicable to agreements made and to
be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict
of law principles or rules.

     

    22.        Fees and
Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Amendment, the Contribution Agreement or Annex E thereof, whether or not
the Closing is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with
this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial
advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or
expenses.

     

    23.        Construction;
Interpretation.  The term “this Amendment” means this Amendment
together with all schedules, exhibits and annexes 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 Amendment are
inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Amendment.  No party, nor its respective
counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Amendment for purposes of
construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Amendment shall be
construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any
party hereto.  Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by
the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof” and
words of similar import refer to this Amendment as a whole, including, without
limitation, the Schedules, exhibits and annexes, and not to any particular
section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this
Amendment; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and
neutral genders, and vice versa; and (iii) words importing the singular
shall also include the plural, and vice versa.

    24.        Exhibits, Annexes and
Schedules.  All exhibits, annexes and Schedules, or documents
expressly incorporated into this Amendment, are hereby incorporated into this
Amendment and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this
Amendment.  The specification of any dollar amount in this Amendment
or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule 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 party 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 not described herein
or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this
Amendment.

     

    25.        Severability.  If
any term or other provision of this Amendment is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, all other provisions of this Amendment shall remain in full force
and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated
Transactions (as amended hereby) is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to any party.

     

    26.        Counterparts. This
Amendment may be executed in one 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 Amendment by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart to this Amendment.

     

    27.        Waiver of Jury
Trial.  Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or
cause of action (i) arising under this Amendment or (ii) in any way
connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in
respect of this Amendment 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 hereto 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 hereto may file a
copy of this Amendment with any court as written evidence of the consent of the
parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

     

    28.        Jurisdiction and
Venue.  Each of the parties hereto (i) submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Delaware, in any
action or proceeding (whether in contract or tort) arising out of or relating to
this Amendment, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Amendment
(including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to
any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Amendment or
as an inducement to enter into this Amendment), (ii) agrees that all such
claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in
any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding
in any other court.  Each of the parties hereto 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
parties hereto with respect thereto.  Each of the parties hereto
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 12.2 of
the Contribution Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 28,
however, shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in
any other manner permitted by Law.  Each party hereto 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.

    RECITALS

     

    WHEREAS,
The Assignor, the Assignee and certain other parties have entered into a
Contribution Agreement, dated at of December 8, 2009, as amended by
Amendment No. 1, dated as of May 13, 2010, and Amendment No. 2, dated as of
June 28, 2010, and Amendment No. 3, dated as of August 30, 2010 (as
further amended from time to time, the “Contribution
Agreement”).  This Agreement is being delivered in furtherance
of Section 2.7 of the Contribution Agreement.  Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Contribution Agreement; and

     

    WHEREAS,
subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Contribution
Agreement, the Assignor desires to assign, transfer, and deliver to the Assignee
all of the Assets and the Assigned Contracts (each as defined below), and the
Assignee desires to accept such assignment, transfer and delivery from the
Assignor and agrees to assume the Assumed Liabilities (as defined
below).

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     

    1.          Assignment and
Assumption.  The parties hereto hereby agree that, effective as
of immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the
Contribution Agreement, (a) the Assignor hereby assigns, transfers and
delivers to the Assignee, (i) all of the property and assets set forth in
Section A of Schedule 1 hereto (collectively, the “Assets”) and
(ii) all rights, benefits and interests of the Assignor under the Contracts
set forth in Section B of Schedule 1 hereto (the “Assigned Contracts”)
and (b) the Assignee hereby accepts the assignment, transfer and delivery
of the Assets and the Assigned Contracts and assumes and agrees to promptly and
fully pay when due, perform and discharge in accordance with their terms all
obligations, liabilities and commitments of the Assignor under the Assigned
Contracts, in each case whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing
(collectively, the “Assumed
Liabilities”).

     

    2.          Retained
Liabilities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Assignee shall not be deemed by virtue of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or as a result of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement, to have assumed, or
to have agreed to pay, perform or discharge, any liability or obligation of the
Assignor other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Retain
Liabilities”).  For the avoidance of any doubt, the Retained
Liabilities shall not include any liabilities under the Terminated Contracts
(defined below).


    
      
         


      

      
        C-2

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    3.          Termination.  The
parties hereto hereby agree that, effective as of immediately prior to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement, the
Contracts set forth in Section C of Schedule 1 hereto (the “Terminated
Contracts”) shall be terminated in full, and none of Assignor, the Group
Companies, the Parent Parties, or any of their respective affiliates, as the
case may be, shall have any further rights or obligations under the Terminated
Contracts following the closing.  Each of the parties hereto expressly
waives any requirement of or right to any prior notice or payments that may be
contained in the Terminated Contracts.

     

    4.          Closing.  The
closing of the transactions contemplated in Section 1 hereof (the “Closing”) shall take

and immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Contribution Agreement.

     

    5.          Further
Assurances.  The Assignor agrees to take such actions and
execute and deliver to the Assignee such further assignments or other transfer
documents as the Assignee may reasonably request to effectively assign, transfer
and convey, and to evidence such assignment, transfer and conveyance of, the
Assets and the Assigned Contracts to the Assignee, in each case, at the sole
cost and expense of the Assignee.  The Assignee agrees to take such
actions and execute and deliver to the Assignor such further assumptions or
other transfer documents as the Assignor may reasonably request to effectively
assume, and to evidence such assumption of, the Assumed Liabilities by the
Assignee, in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the
Assignor.

     

    6.          No Representations or
Warranties.  Neither the Assignor nor the Assignee makes any
representation or warranty under this Agreement with respect to the Assets or
the Assigned Contracts.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall

Agreement or in any way diminish or modify any of the representations,
warranties, indemnities, covenants, agreements or in general, any of the
obligations of such party set forth in the Contribution Agreement.

     

    7.          Entire
Agreement(i)    . This Agreement contains the entire
agreement of the parties respecting the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements among the parties respecting the same.  The parties
hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and
obligations respecting subject matter hereto exclusively in contract pursuant to

prior written consent of the other parties.  Any attempted assignment
of this Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this Section 6 shall
be void.

interpretation of this Agreement.  No party, nor its respective
counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of

Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this
Agreement.  The inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is

permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or
cause of action (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way

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.

    17.        Jurisdiction and
Venue.  Each of the parties (i) submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Delaware, in any action or
proceeding (whether in contract or tort) arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement
(including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to
any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or
as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), (ii) agrees that all such
claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in
any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding
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 7.  Nothing
in this Section 16,
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.

     

    18.        Remedies.  Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement,
any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement shall be
cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this
Agreement, at law or in equity, and the exercise by a party to this Agreement of
any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise by it of any other
remedy.

     

    19.        Amendment and
Waiver.

     

    (a)        No
failure or delay on the part of the parties in exercising any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy.

    (b)        Any
amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement,
any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure
by the parties from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be
effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the
parties, and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which made or given.

     

    20.        Further
Assurances.  Each of the parties shall execute such documents
and perform such further acts (including, without limitation, obtaining any
consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions by, or giving any notices
to, or making any filings with, any governmental authority or any other Person)
as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the
provisions of this Agreement.
