IV.    TITLE AND PROPERTY CONDITION 


4.1    Title to the Real Property.  
4.1.1    Acceptance of Title as of the Effective Date.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Title Company has made available to Purchaser commitments for title insurance (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) addressing the status of title to each Property as of a date prior to the Effective Date, including (to the extent available) copies of Liens and Encumbrances that are indicated as Property-specific exceptions to title in such title commitments.  Each of the Title Commitments is set forth on Disclosure Schedule 6. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser has received for each Property a survey that complies with the Survey Standards.  Each of the Surveys, including all revisions issued by the Surveyor prior to the Effective Date, is identified on Disclosure Schedule 7 (such surveys are referred to herein as the “Surveys”).  On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver a certification to Title Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2, as to the  absence of physical changes to the exterior of Improvements at the Properties from that shown on the Surveys (collectively, “Sellers’ Survey Certification”).  Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has no right to object to any Liens or Encumbrances disclosed in the Title Commitments or the Surveys set forth on Disclosure Schedule 6 and Disclosure Schedule 7, respectively, except for Involuntary Liens or Involuntary Encumbrances, if any, listed on Disclosure Schedule 8, and that the Sellers shall not be obligated to Cure any of such Liens or Encumbrances except as provided in the first sentence of Section 4.1.2 below.  
4.1.2    Liens and Encumbrances; Existing and Arising After the Effective Date.  Each Seller, with respect to its Property or Properties, agrees to Cure, prior to or at Closing: (i) all Voluntary Liens and Voluntary Encumbrances, if any, listed on Disclosure Schedule 8 and all Voluntary Liens and Voluntary Encumbrances first arising after the Effective Date of the Title Commitment for the Property affected by such Voluntary Lien or Voluntary Encumbrance; and (ii) the Involuntary Liens and Involuntary Encumbrances, if any, listed on Disclosure Schedule 8 (items (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Required Cure Items”).  If a Seller or Purchaser becomes aware that an Involuntary Lien or Involuntary Encumbrance has arisen after the Effective Date of the Title Commitment for the Property affected by such Involuntary Lien or Involuntary Encumbrance, such Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall promptly give written notice to the other of such Involuntary Lien or Involuntary Encumbrance.  If the cost to Cure such Involuntary Lien or Involuntary Encumbrance, together with the cost to Cure all other Involuntary Liens and Involuntary Encumbrances of which the Purchaser or any Seller has received written notice pursuant to the preceding sentence after the date hereof and prior to Closing (each, a “New Title Matter”), does not exceed $2,500,000, such Seller shall be obligated to Cure such New Title Matter prior to or at Closing, at such Seller’s sole cost and expense.    If the cost to Cure such New Title Matter, together with the cost to Cure all other New Title Matters of which the Purchaser or any Seller has received notice pursuant to this Section 4.1.2, exceeds $2,500,000, 


19
ACTIVE/85729224.2









then such Seller shall have the option but not the obligation to Cure such New Title Matter prior to Closing at such Seller’s sole cost and expense, and such Seller shall notify Purchaser of its election within five (5) Business Days after such Seller either sends or receives notice of such New Title Matter pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 4.1.2.  If such Seller does not make such election in writing within such five (5) Business Day period, such Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to Cure such New Title Matter.  If such Seller is not obligated to Cure one or more New Title Matters and if such Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to Cure such New Title Matters, then Purchaser may elect to either: (i) proceed with the Closing (absent some other grounds for termination of this Agreement prior to Closing) and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount necessary to Cure such uncured New Title Matter(s) but not to exceed (y) $2,500,000 less (z) the out-of-pocket amount actually spent by such Seller to Cure such New Title Matter(s); or (ii) terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Sellers, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the Seller shall pay an additional $1,000,000 as liquidated damages, in accordance with Section 9.2, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party hereunder except for obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Seller is required to Cure all Required Cure Items at or prior to Closing.  If such Seller does not Cure any Required Cure Items at or prior to Closing, Purchaser may elect to either: (i) proceed with the Closing (absent some other grounds for termination of this Agreement prior to Closing) and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount necessary to Cure such uncured Required Cure Items; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Sellers, in which case such Seller’s failure to Cure such Required Cure Item shall constitute a Seller Default hereunder and Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue and obtain its remedies pursuant to Section 9.2.  Any Lien or Encumbrance that a Seller is not obligated to Cure prior to Closing pursuant to this Section 4.1.2 is a Permitted Exception (provided that, in connection therewith, Seller has provided Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price if and to the extent required above in this Section 4.1.2).  

4.2    Inspection.
4.2.1    Prior to the date hereof, each of the Sellers made available to Purchaser the information, documents, agreements and reports in each Seller’s possession or control relating to the Properties (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”) without representation or warranty of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that Purchaser has had the opportunity to review and inspect the Due Diligence Materials and all of the Properties prior to the date hereof.  By executing this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it has completed its inspections and studies of all of the Properties and it has no remaining contingencies to Closing nor rights to object to any due diligence matters except as expressly provided below in this Section 4.2.1, and is agreeing to proceed in accordance with the terms hereof (including without limitation, the terms of Section 4.3 below).  Notwithstanding such prior inspections, the Sellers shall cooperate and provide Purchaser and its agents, employees, representatives, consultants and lenders with reasonable and continuing access to the Real Property included in each Property upon commercially reasonable Notice to the Sellers for the purpose of Purchaser’s inspection (provided, however, that Purchaser shall not perform any invasive testing of any Real Property 


20
ACTIVE/85729224.2









without the Sellers’ prior written consent in each instance, which may be granted or withheld in the Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion).  Neither Purchaser nor any of its employees, agents or representatives shall contact or otherwise discuss this transaction and /or the operation of the Properties with any on-site employees of the Properties; provided, however, that Purchaser may meet with any Property’s asset manager and property manager upon commercially reasonable Notice to the Property’s Seller but, if required by such Seller, only in the presence of such Seller’s representative.  Each Seller shall have the right to have a representative of such Seller present during all inspections or examinations of such Seller’s Real Property by Purchaser.  
4.2.2    Prior to any entry by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s designees onto any Property for the purpose of performing any physical inspection, Purchaser shall: (i) if Purchaser does not then have such a policy in force, procure a policy of commercial general liability insurance, issued by an insurer reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers, covering all of Purchaser’s activities at such Property, with a single limit of liability (per occurrence and aggregate) of not less than $2,000,000.00; and (ii) to the extent not yet delivered to Sellers, deliver to Sellers a Certificate of Insurance evidencing that such insurance is in force and effect, and evidencing that the Seller that owns such Property has been named as an additional insured thereunder with respect to any of Purchaser’s activities.  In the event that such insurance is required as a result of Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s designees entering any Property for the purpose of physical inspection, such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence” basis, and shall be maintained in force until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of all of Purchaser’s activities, or (y) the Closing Date.
4.2.3    Purchaser, at all times, will conduct all inspections and reviews in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and in a manner intended not to cause damage, loss, cost or expense to any Seller, any Property or Tenants of any Property, and without unreasonably interfering with or disturbing any Tenants or employees at the Properties.  Prior to Closing, the results of or any other information acquired pursuant to Purchaser’s inspections shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12.17 below.  Purchaser will promptly restore any damage to any Property caused by Purchaser’s inspection to its condition immediately preceding such inspections and examinations and will keep the Properties free and clear of any mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens in connection with such inspections and examinations.
4.2.4    Purchaser shall assume all of the Assumed Contracts on the Closing Date.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that some or all of the Contracts are Multi-Property Contracts, each of which shall be terminated on or before Closing with respect to each Property and shall not be included in the Assignment of Contracts and Licenses or otherwise constitute an “Assumed Contract”; provided, however, that with respect to any Multi-Property Contract listed on Disclosure Schedule 3 as a Contract for “Introduction and Request,” the applicable Seller shall use good faith efforts to introduce Purchaser to the third party counter-party to such Multi-Property Contract with the intent of causing the third party counter-party to enter into a new agreement with Purchaser on substantially the same terms as the original Multi-Property Contract but with respect only to the Property being purchased hereunder.  Purchaser agrees that Seller shall be conclusively deemed to have used its “good faith efforts” to accomplish the purposes set forth in the immediately preceding sentence if Seller shall (x) introduce the third party counter-party to the applicable Multi-Property Contract to Purchaser and (y) cooperate 


21
ACTIVE/85729224.2









reasonably and in good faith (but at no costs or expense to Sellers) with Purchaser’s request that such third party counter-party enter into a new agreement meeting the requirements described in the immediately preceding sentence.  In no event shall Seller have any liability for the failure of any third party counter-party to enter any such new agreement with Purchaser.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Multi-Property Contract” means a Contract pursuant to which services are rendered to one or more properties that are not included in the Properties.  The Multi-Property Contracts are designated as such on Disclosure Schedule 3.   Seller shall terminate at or prior to Closing (either outright or, with respect to Multi-Property Contracts, with respect to each Property) all Contracts listed on Disclosure Schedule 3 that do not constitute “Assumed Contracts”.
4.2.5    The cost of the inspections and tests undertaken pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be borne solely by Purchaser.
4.2.6    Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, until the Closing Date, Purchaser’s possession of all information and materials disclosed and/or delivered to it by the Sellers, or Sellers’ agents, employees and representatives (including without limitation, the Due Diligence Materials), is governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and the terms and conditions of Section 12.17 below.
4.2.7    Except as expressly provided herein and/or in the Closing Documents, none of the Sellers makes any representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or other information, if any, supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of any of the Properties (e.g., that such materials are complete, accurate or the final version thereof, or that all such materials are in any Seller’s possession).  Except for Purchaser’s reliance on any representation and warranties expressly provided herein and/or in the Closing Documents, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that any such materials are to be provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination as to whether it wishes to purchase the Properties, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of each Property and not on any materials supplied by the Sellers.  Except for Purchaser’s reliance on any representation and warranties expressly provided herein and/or in the Closing Documents with respect to any such materials, Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by the Sellers in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information.
4.2.8    The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 4.2 (including its indemnification obligations) shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year.

Purchaser shall notify Seller within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such information of any items which Purchaser disputes, and the parties shall attempt in good faith to reconcile any differences not later than one (1) day before the Closing Date.  The following items are to be prorated, adjusted or credited (as appropriate) as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, it being understood that for purposes of prorations and adjustments, Purchaser shall be deemed to be the owner of the Properties on the Closing Date.  Unless otherwise 


30
ACTIVE/85729224.2









expressly set forth in this Section 5, payments with respect to prorations shall be made on a cash, or as-collected, basis (as opposed to an “accrual” basis or otherwise), provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that the allocable shares of certain of the items to be prorated pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be determined on an accrual basis (for example, and by way of example only prorated Rent shall be allocated to each of Seller and Purchaser on the basis of pre-Closing and post-Closing periods, but payments in respect of such prorations shall be made on an “As-collected” basis, as otherwise provided in this Section 5.5).
5.5.1    Taxes.  With respect to each Property, all non-delinquent real estate and personal property general and special taxes and assessments for such Property for the current assessment year of the applicable taxing authority in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  If the exact amount of taxes is not known at Closing, the proration will be based on the amount of taxes most recently charged to Tenants at the applicable Property as Additional Rent (adjusted as necessary to derive the taxes for the entire Property from such amounts) and shall be adjusted once actual figures become available after Closing, as part of the Final Closing Adjustment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) each Seller shall retain all right, title and interest in and to any and all property tax (both real property and personal property) refunds and claims for refunds with respect to its Properties for any period prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) each Seller is responsible for all taxes attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.  Each Seller shall have the right to continue and control any contest of any taxes or assessments for its Property or Properties due and payable during all tax years prior to the tax year in which Closing occurs, except that Sellers shall have no right to (x) initiate the contest of any taxes or assessments after the Effective Date if such contest relates to or impacts taxes for which Purchaser is responsible hereunder or (y) settle or compromise any pending contest of taxes or assessments, to the extent pertaining to or adversely impacting the period from and after the Closing or could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the tax liability of Purchaser.  Purchaser shall have the right to control any contest of any taxes or assessments for the Properties due and payable during the current tax year in which Closing occurs, if any, and all tax years thereafter.  Each Seller and Purchaser shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with such contests.  With respect to each Property, Purchaser and such Property’s Seller shall be equally responsible for, and shall pay equal portions of, all sales, use and other transfer taxes imposed in connection with the sale and transfer of the Personal Property and the Intangible Property (i.e., Purchaser shall pay 50% and such Property’s Seller shall pay 50%).
5.5.2    Utility Service.  To the extent commercially reasonable and practicable, the Sellers and Purchaser shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the Business Day preceding the Closing Date to aid in the proration of charges for gas, electricity and other utility services which are not the direct responsibility of Tenants.  If such billings or meter readings as of the Business Day preceding the Closing Date are obtained, adjustments for any costs, expenses, charges or fees shown thereon shall be made in accordance with such billings or  meter readings.  If such billings or meter readings as of the Business Day preceding the Closing Date are not available for a utility service, the charges therefor shall be adjusted at the Closing on the basis of the per diem charges for the most recent prior period for which bills were issued and shall be further adjusted at the Final Closing Adjustment on the basis of the actual bills for the period in which the Closing takes place.  Each Property’s Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for the Utility Deposits, if any, that are 


31
ACTIVE/85729224.2









transferred or made available to Purchaser and that are held by applicable utility companies for the account of such Seller in respect of services provided to such Seller’s Property or Properties.  Purchaser shall arrange for placing all utility services and bills in its own name as of the Closing Date. 
5.5.3    Security Deposits.  Purchaser shall be credited with and the Sellers shall be charged with an amount equal to all cash Security Deposits being held by or on behalf of all Sellers, Sellers’ managing agent or any other Person under the Leases or Licenses.  The Sellers shall be entitled to retain all Security Deposits or other such credits due Tenants or licensee for which Purchaser receives credit and the Sellers are charged pursuant to this Section 5.5.3.  Sellers agree not to apply any Security Deposits held as of the Effective Date under Leases or Licenses on account of arrearages existing as of the Closing Date.  Each Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of any letters of credit or other instruments held by such Seller in lieu of a cash Security Deposit to transfer such letters of credit or other instruments to the Purchaser at or promptly after Closing.   
5.5.4    Operating Expenses.  All Operating Expenses shall be prorated between the Sellers and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, based on the actual number of days in the month during which the Closing Date occurs for monthly expenses, and based on a 365 day year for annual expenses.  The Sellers shall be responsible for all Operating Expenses attributable to the period before the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for all Operating Expenses attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date.
5.5.5    Miscellaneous Permits and Taxes.  Except as covered by the terms of Section 5.5.1 above, with respect to each Property, all water and sewer charges, taxes (other than ad valorem property taxes), including license taxes or fees for licenses which are assignable or transferable without added cost and have a value which will survive Closing, and any unpaid taxes payable in arrears, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Each Property’s Seller will be credited for that portion of taxes and fees paid by such Seller allocable to the period after the Closing Date.
5.5.6    Assumed Contracts.  With respect to each Property, all payments and receipts, as applicable, under the Assumed Contracts shall be prorated between Purchaser and such Property’s Seller as of the Closing Date.  Such Seller shall receive a credit for all prepayments and deposits thereunder. 
5.5.7    Leasing Commissions, Tenant Improvements and Rental Abatements.  
(a)    Each Seller shall pay at or prior to the Closing Date, or shall give Purchaser a credit at Closing, for (i) the then-outstanding Lease Expenses (as set forth in the Updated Disclosure to Disclosure Schedule 2-4, and including, by way of clarification, Lease Expenses that are not yet due and payable) to which such Seller has committed under the terms of any Lease or License, or any Lease or License modification, extension or renewal entered into prior to the Effective Date (excluding, however, Lease Expenses expressly contemplated to be Purchaser’s obligation pursuant to Section 5.5.7(b)); and (ii) the then-outstanding Lease Expenses (as set forth in the Updated Disclosure to Disclosure Schedule 2-4, and including, by way of clarification, Lease Expenses that are not yet due and payable) due in connection with any Lease or License or any 


32
ACTIVE/85729224.2









Lease or License modification, extension or renewal, if any, that is executed on or after the Effective Date and with respect to which Purchaser has not provided its express written approval (excluding, however, Lease Expenses expressly contemplated to be Purchaser’s obligation pursuant to Section 5.5.7(b)).  
(b)    Purchaser shall pay for (and shall not receive a credit at Closing for) (i) Lease Expenses due in connection with any Lease or License or any  Lease or License modification, extension or renewal that is executed on or after the Effective Date as and to the extent same have been expressly approved by Purchaser in writing hereunder, and (ii) Lease Expenses that become due with respect to the exercise by a Tenant or licensee on or after the Effective Date of an extension, expansion or renewal option to which such Tenant or licensee was entitled under the terms of its Lease or License, as applicable, as of the Effective Date.  If Seller has paid for any Lease Expenses that are Purchaser’s obligation pursuant to the express terms of this Section 5.5.7(b), Purchaser shall provide a credit to Seller in the amount of such payment at Closing, but only as and to the extent: (i) such Lease Expense is required to be paid prior to Closing; (ii) Seller pays such Lease Expense prior to Closing; and (iii) Tenant, licensee or any other applicable recipient of such Lease Expense payment, as applicable, confirms in writing that such Lease Expense has been paid in satisfaction of such obligation (or, in lieu thereof, Seller delivers to Purchaser evidence of Seller’s payment to the applicable recipient of such Lease Expense in the form of either a cancelled check cashed by such recipient or a federal reference number confirming the wire of funds to such recipient).
(c)    Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall honor and assume all covenants and obligations to be performed by each Seller as landlord under the Leases or Licenses, as applicable, including any Lease Expenses.
5.5.8    Other Income.  With respect to each Property, all income not specifically addressed in this Section 5.5 and derived by such Property’s Seller from such Property, to the extent such income accrues before the Closing Date, shall be paid to such Seller (it being acknowledged that payments in respect of such income shall only be made on an “as and when collected” basis).  All income not specifically addressed in this Section 5.5 and derived by such Seller from such Property accruing or relating to the period on and after the Closing Date shall be paid to Purchaser.
5.5.9    Other Expenses.  With respect to each Property, all expenses and monetary obligations not otherwise specified in this Section 5.5, incurred in the ownership or operation of such Property and for which Purchaser is assuming responsibility on and after Closing pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and/or the Closing Documents shall be prorated between such Property’s Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date.  
5.5.10    Rent.  Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated at the Closing in accordance with the following provisions (it being acknowledged that (i) payments in respect of such Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall only be made on an “as and when collected” basis and (ii) all income derived from Licenses shall be prorated in accordance with the following provisions, as if such income was received by the Seller or Purchaser as Basic Rent hereunder):


33
ACTIVE/85729224.2









(a)    Basic Rent.  Subject to Section 5.5.10(c), Basic Rent shall be prorated between each Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the actual number of days in the month during which the Closing Date occurs.  Each Seller shall be entitled to all Basic Rent which accrues before the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be entitled to all Basic Rent which accrues on and after the Closing Date, in each case, whether payable in advance or in arrears.
(b)    Additional Rent.  Subject to Section 5.5.10(c), monthly or other payments made by Tenants in advance based upon projected or estimated Additional Rent shall be prorated between each Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the actual Additional Rent collected as of the Closing and the actual number of days in the monthly or other period for which the advance payment is made.  Such proration shall be made separately for each Tenant which is obligated to pay Additional Rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenant's Lease for the determination and payment of Additional Rent.  Each payment of Additional Rent that is prorated pursuant to this Section 5.5.10(b), and the applicable Tenant’s payments of Additional Rent made prior to or after such prorated payment for the same calendar year or other fiscal period during which a year-end reconciliation of Additional Rent is required by the applicable Lease, shall be adjusted as part of the Final Closing Adjustment as provided below in Section 5.5.11.
(c)    Delinquent Rent.  Delinquent Rent (including delinquent Additional Rent) shall not be prorated at Closing and shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable Seller if, as and when actually collected by Purchaser after the Closing, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rent on behalf of each Seller.  Rent (including Additional Rent, if and to the extent expressly identified as Additional Rent) collected after the Closing but during the calendar month during which the Closing occurs shall be applied (i) first to Rent due in the month of Closing and (ii) then to Rent due in respect of periods prior to the Closing (including Delinquent Rent).    Rent (including Basic Rent and Additional Rent) collected after the calendar month during which the Closing occurs shall be applied (i) first to Rent due in respect of periods from and after the Closing and (ii) then to Rent due in respect of periods prior to the Closing (including Delinquent Rent).  Delinquent Rent collected by the Sellers or Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (i) if any Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, such Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent to which Purchaser is entitled hereunder relating to the period commencing on the date of Closing, and (ii) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from any Property (and after the payment of all Rent and other amounts due to Purchaser from the applicable Tenant, which payments shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the two immediately preceding sentences), Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to the Seller of such Property any such rent to which such Seller is entitled hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing.
(d)    Rents Due in Arrears.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to any Lease or License as to which the United States of America (or any instrumentality or agency thereof) is the Tenant or licensee (as applicable) and pursuant to which Rent is payable in arrears, the provisions of Section 5.5.10(c) shall be applied such that: (x) Rent received during the month in which Closing occurs (but only as and to the extent the same relates to the immediately preceding calendar month) shall belong entirely to Seller; and (y) Rent received during the month in which Closing occurs (as and to the extent such Rent does not relate to the 


34
ACTIVE/85729224.2









immediately preceding calendar month) and months after the month in which Closing occurs shall be prorated and allocated among Purchaser and Seller in the same manner in which Rent is otherwise adjusted as set forth in Section 5.5.10(c) above.    


5.5.11    Final Closing Adjustment.  No later than one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Sellers and Purchaser shall make a final adjustment to the prorations made pursuant to this Section 5 (the “Final Closing Adjustment”).  The Final Closing Adjustment shall be made in the following manner:
(a)    General.  All adjustments or prorations which could not be determined at the Closing because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year-end reconciliation of Additional Rent, or any other reason, shall be made as a part of the Final Closing Adjustment.  Any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser shall be paid in cash by the Sellers to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Closing Adjustment.  Any net adjustment in favor of the Sellers shall be paid in cash by Purchaser to the Sellers no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Closing Adjustment.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall correct any manifest error in the prorations and adjustments made at Closing promptly after such error is discovered.
(b)    Additional Rent Adjustment.  Each Seller and Purchaser shall prorate the actual amount of Additional Rent paid by each Tenant at such Seller’s Property for such Tenant’s applicable fiscal year (“Tenant’s Fiscal Year”) as follows:
(i)    The Seller shall be entitled to the portion of the actual amount of Additional Rent paid by the Tenant equal to the product obtained by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tenant’s Fiscal Year preceding the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Tenant’s Fiscal Year; and
(ii)    Purchaser shall be entitled to the balance of the Additional Rent paid by the Tenant.
(iii)    If the sum of all interim payments of Additional Rent collected and retained by the Seller from the Tenant for the Tenant's Fiscal Year (reduced by the pro-rated portion of the interim payment on account of Additional Rent paid for the month or quarter in which the Closing Date occurs for which Purchaser is given credit pursuant to Section 5.5.10(b)) exceeds the amount of such Additional Rent to which the Seller is entitled with respect to such Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the Seller shall pay such excess to Purchaser.  If the sum of all interim payments of such Additional Rent collected and retained by Purchaser from each Tenant for the Tenant's Fiscal Year (increased by a pro-rated portion of the interim payment on account of Additional Rent paid for the month or quarter in which the Closing Date occurs for which Purchaser is given credit pursuant to Section 5.5.10(b)) exceeds the amount of Additional Rent to which Purchaser is entitled with respect to such Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above, Purchaser shall pay the excess to the Seller.  The adjustment of interim payments received and actual Additional Rent paid shall be made separately for each Tenant and for each type of Additional Rent.

ACTIVE/85729224.2









(c)    No Further Adjustments.  Except for: (i) additional or supplemental real estate taxes, real estate tax credits or rebates, or other adjustments to real estate taxes due to back assessments, corrections to previous tax bills or real estate tax appeals or contests, (ii) any item of Additional Rent which may be contested by a Tenant or (iii) manifest errors, the Final Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and Purchaser, and the Sellers and Purchaser hereby waive any right to contest after the Final Closing Adjustment any prorations, apportionments or adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 5.
5.5.12    General Provisions.  The computation of the adjustments shall be jointly prepared by the Sellers and Purchaser.  In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Section 5.5 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same in accordance with the remaining terms of this Section 5.5.12.  For proration purposes, the day that falls on the Closing Date shall be charged to Purchaser.
5.5.13    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive Closing for a period of thirteen (13) months.

5.6    Closing Costs.  With respect to each Property, Purchaser shall bear the cost of (i) the title searches and preparation of the Title Commitments prepared by the Title Company, and the premium for Purchaser’s title policies and any and all endorsements requested by Purchaser or its lender; (ii) updating the Survey for each Property if Purchaser so elects; (iii) one-half (1/2) of the documentary transfer taxes and the recording fee for the Deeds; (iv) one-half (1/2) of all escrow and closing fees relating to the sale of such Property; (v) all escrow and closing fees relating to Purchaser’s financing; and (vi) any mortgage taxes or recording fees for any mortgages securing Purchaser’s financing. With respect to each Property, such Property’s Seller shall bear the cost of (i) any commission due to Broker (as defined in Article X); (ii) one-half (1/2) of the documentary transfer taxes and the recording fee for the Deeds; (iii) and one-half (1/2) of all escrow and closing fees relating to the sale of such Property (but not in connection with any financing by Purchaser, which shall be paid solely by Purchaser); and (iv) the costs of the Title Commitments prepared by the Title Company on behalf of Seller.  Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees pertaining to the sale of the Properties.  All other costs pertaining to the sale of each Property shall be allocated as is customary for real estate transactions where such Property is located.  The parties agree to cooperate in all reasonable respects to minimize all such costs, premiums, taxes, and fees.  

5.7    Distribution of Funds and Documents Following Closing.  The conditions to the closing of Escrow shall be Escrow Agent’s receipt of funds and documents described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 above, and written authorization from the Sellers and Purchaser to proceed with the Closing in accordance with the Closing Instructions.  Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, Escrow Agent shall distribute the documents described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 above in accordance with the Closing Instructions and shall take all other actions authorized by the Escrow Agreement upon closing.

VI.      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND INDEMNITIES 

6.1    Purchaser’s Indemnity.  With the exception of items for which Purchaser is expressly indemnified hereunder, Purchaser covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify, protect, and hold harmless the Sellers and the Seller Related Parties from and against any and all Claims arising from the acts and omissions of Purchaser and its agents, employees and contractors occurring in connection with or as a result of, any inspections, tests or examinations of or to any of the Properties, provided that Purchaser shall not be liable or responsible for the mere discovery or immaterial  displacement of a pre-existing condition at any Property. This indemnity shall survive only until the date that is three (3) years after the Effective Date.

6.2    Seller Covenants.  Each Seller covenants to Purchaser as follows with respect to each of the Properties:
6.2.1    Continued Care and Maintenance.  Prior to Closing, such Seller agrees: (i) to continue its care, maintenance and operation of its Property on substantially the same standards as employed by such Seller to date; (ii) not to terminate, change, amend or modify materially any Lease, License or any Contract (except that Seller shall have the right to: (x) enter into any Lease renewals, amendments, modifications or extensions of existing Leases evidencing or reflecting the exercise by any Tenant of any expressly existing rights or options, the terms of which are fixed or determinable as of the Effective Date, under any existing Lease; and (y) the terminate, change, amend or modify any Contract that is not an Assumed Contract); (iii) not to make any substantial or material alterations or changes to any of such Seller’s Property, other than ordinary and necessary maintenance and repairs, without Purchaser’s prior written approval (provided, however, such Seller may make any alterations or changes to the Property that are required by any Lease or by applicable law without Purchaser’s prior approval); and (iv) to maintain in effect all policies of casualty and liability insurance or similar policies of insurance, with no less than the limits of coverage now carried with respect to such Seller’s Property.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent such Seller from acting to prevent loss of life, personal injury or property damage in emergency situations, or prevent such Seller from performing any act with respect to such Seller’s Property which may be required by any Lease, applicable law, rule or governmental regulations, provided that such Seller shall notify Purchaser of any emergency situations as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.
6.2.2    Leasing/Licensing of the Property.  Prior to the execution of any new Leases or Licenses for the Property or the renewal, amendment, modification or extension of any existing Leases or Licenses for the Property, such Seller shall give written notice of its intent to do so to Purchaser.  Such notice shall include the amount of space involved, the length of the lease term, the proposed financial terms thereof (including any rent abatement periods), the amount of any Leasing Commission, any TI Obligations, and a copy of the form of Lease, License, amendment or other document to be executed.  Such Seller shall not enter into any new Lease or License, or any extension or renewal of any existing Lease or License, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (but which consent may be conclusively evidenced in correspondence to Seller by electronic mail from Robert Swennes (robert.swinnes@brookfield.com)).  Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Seller of Purchaser’s objection, if any, to any such proposed Lease or extension or renewal of 


37
ACTIVE/85729224.2









any existing Lease, within five (5) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of any notice provided pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.2.2, but Purchaser’s failure to provide such objection shall in no event constitute approval thereof or a default by Purchaser hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) Purchaser’s consent shall not be required for new Leases, new License and/or renewals, amendments, modifications or extensions of existing Leases or existing Licenses evidencing or reflecting the exercise by Tenants or licensees of any rights or options, the terms of which are fixed or determinable as of the Effective Date, under existing Leases and/or Licenses, as applicable; and (b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Leases, Licenses and the extensions, amendments, modifications or renewals of Leases and Licenses (if any) listed on Disclosure Schedule 2-3 have been approved by Purchaser.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require any Seller to lease any additional space in its Property as a condition to the sale of such Property, and none of the Sellers shall have any obligation to enter into or to seek any Leases or Licenses for its Property prior to the Closing Date.  
6.2.3    Tenant/Licensee Estoppel Certificates. Prior to Closing, each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser from the Tenant under each Lease and from the licensee under each Required License of such Seller’s Property an estoppel certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-1, with respect to Leases, and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-3, with respect to Required Licenses, or, if any Lease or License, as applicable, requires a different form, in the form required by such Lease or  License, all dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (each such estoppel certificate from a Tenant under Lease, a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”, and each such estoppel certificate from a licensee under a Required License, a “Licensee Estoppel Certificate”); provided, however, solely with respect to the Lease to the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the Property located at 30 West Gude Dr., Rockville, Maryland (such Lease, a “GSA Lease”) entered into with the General Services Administration (“GSA”), Seller shall, in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a “statement of lease” in such form as may be acceptable to the Tenant thereunder (“Statement of Lease”).  None of the Sellers shall be in default for failure to obtain any Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Statement of Lease or Licensee Estoppel Certificate so long as such Sellers have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Statement of Lease and Licensee Estoppel Certificates as required herein, but such failure may be a failure of the condition precedent to Closing set forth in Section 8.2.5 and/or Section 8.2.6, as applicable.
6.2.4    Prior to Closing, the Seller(s) of the Property encumbered thereby shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate with respect to recorded instruments referred to in Disclosure Schedule 15, which estoppel certificate shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, or, if such instrument requires a different form, in the form required by instrument, dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date.  The recorded instruments referred to in the immediately preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Required REAs”; the estoppel certificates respecting such Required REAs are collectively referred to as the “REA Estoppel Certificates”.  None of the Sellers shall be in default for failure to obtain such estoppel certificates so long as such Sellers have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same.

ACTIVE/85729224.2









6.2.5    Novation Agreement.    It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that pursuant to the GSA Lease, certain documents are required to be executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser in order to confirm the transfer to Purchaser of Seller’s interest in, to and under any GSA Lease (collectively, the “GSA Transfer Documents”).  From and after the Effective Date, Seller and Purchaser shall commence the necessary process for GSA approval of the transfer of the GSA Lease, and Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with one another in good faith and utilize commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, finalize and submit GSA Transfer Documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each party as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to pursue from the Tenant under the GSA Lease (the “GSA Tenant”) a novation agreement substantially in the form of Disclosure Schedule 12 attached hereto; provided, however, if Seller is not able to obtain the novation agreement in the form attached hereto as Disclosure Schedule 12, in all events, Seller shall execute and deliver within thirty (30) days after Closing (or by such later date which is five (5) business days after receipt from the GSA Tenant of its counterpart signature to the GSA Transfer Documents as approved by the GSA Tenant) such other form of transfer or novation agreement as is requested by the GSA Tenant pursuant to the Federal Assignment of Claims Act and regulations promulgated pursuant thereunto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser hereby covenant and agree to reasonably cooperate in connection with the procurement and execution of the GSA Transfer Documents, and agree that they shall execute the GSA Transfer Documents in such form as is ultimately acceptable to the GSA Tenant, provided that such GSA Transfer Documents do not impose any material obligation or liability on Purchaser beyond those expressly set forth in the GSA Lease.  Subject to the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller each hereby agree to provide any and all additional documentation and signatures required by the GSA Tenant or reasonably requested by the other party for the novation or transfer of the GSA Lease within seven (7) business days of request from such other party.  Further, in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the documents delivered at Closing by the parties pursuant hereto, on the one hand, and any novation agreement executed by Purchaser, Seller and a GSA Tenant after Closing, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such documents delivered hereto shall control as between Purchaser and Seller.  This Section 6.2.5 shall survive Closing.
6.2.6    Completion of Landlord Work.  Sellers are currently performing the Landlord Work.  Seller represents and warrants that (x) upon completion of the work contemplated under the Work Agreements in accordance with such Work Agreements, and the payment of amounts expressly required to be paid pursuant to the Work Agreements, all Landlord Work shall be completed in accordance with the applicable Lease or License pursuant to which such Landlord Work is undertaken and (y) all Work Agreements are freely assignable by Sellers to Purchaser, at no cost or expense to Purchaser.  From and after the Effective Date and until the Closing, Sellers shall continue to diligently perform (and cause the third-party contractors under the Work Agreements to continue to diligently perform) the Landlord Work pursuant to the Work Agreements and timely make all payments required to be made under the Work Agreements as such payments become due and payable prior to Closing.  Sellers shall at all times use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause Completion of Landlord Work to occur prior to the Closing, in respect of all Landlord Work.  In the event that Completion of Landlord Work (or any portion thereof) has not occurred as of the Closing Date, then, at the Closing: (a) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing (i) a certification from Sellers: (1) of all work that that has not then been completed under the Work Agreement(s), 


39
ACTIVE/85729224.2

At the Closing: (I) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the greater of the amounts described in clauses (i)(4) and (ii)(3) above; (II) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all materials in Seller’s possession or control relating to all Landlord Work that has not been completed and all Work Agreements; and (III) all Work Agreements as to which Completion of Landlord Work has not yet occurred shall constitute “Assumed Contracts” for purposes of this Agreement (provided that the parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser’s willingness to assume such Work Agreements is based on, and in reliance on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Sellers’ certification set forth above).  Within thirty (30) days of the completion of Landlord Work under any Work Agreement that has been assumed by Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser shall determine, reasonably and in good faith, the total cost of completing the Landlord Work (or any portion thereof) that remained incomplete as of the Closing Date (which costs shall include, without limitation, any costs incurred by Purchaser in respect of such Landlord Work both under the applicable Work Agreement, and otherwise).  If (x) Purchaser determines that the amount credited to Purchaser at Closing under this Section 6.2.6 exceeds the cost of completion described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such excess shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable Seller(s) within ten (10) days of such determination, and if (y) Purchaser determines that the amount credited to Purchaser at Closing under this Section 6.2.6 is less that the cost of completion described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such deficiency shall be paid by the applicable Seller(s) to Purchaser within ten (10) days of such determination.  The terms of this Section 6.2.6 shall survive the Closing.
6.2.7    UST – 6110 Property.  
(a)    Seller shall at Seller’s sole cost and expense and as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event prior to May 6, 2016: (i) empty the UST (and dispose of any and all heating oil (and other contents of the UST) and (ii) lock and secure the fill port, the vent line and

(b)    Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, as soon as reasonably practicable, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, remove and dispose of the UST and all contents of the UST (such removal, the “UST Removal” and such removal and disposal, the “Seller’s Initial UST Obligations”).  Seller’s Initial UST Obligations shall be undertaken by a contractor selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, pursuant to a scope and contract that has been approved in writing by Purchaser, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.   Seller shall, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, establish a date with MDE for the UST Removal (the “UST Removal Date”), provided that Seller shall endeavor reasonably and in good faith to establish the UST Removal Date on or before April 29, 2016.  Seller agrees to use its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to cause the UST Removal Date to be on or before June 1, 2016, provided that in the event MDE does not agree to a UST Removal Date that is on or before June 1, 2016, Seller shall cause the UST Removal Date to be the first date thereafter that MDE will agree to as the UST Removal Date.  Seller shall cause MDE to be present at the UST Removal, and shall notify Purchaser of the UST Removal Date, in writing, and in any event at least two (2) Business Days promptly after scheduling the UST Removal Date with the Seller and prior to the UST Removal, of the date and time of the UST Removal.  Purchaser and/or its representatives, shall be permitted to attend the UST Removal.  Commencing as soon as reasonably practicable, Seller shall undertake, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, all applicable testing and remediation in respect of the UST as and to the extent  recommended or required by MDE and/or Environmental Requirements (such testing and remediation to be undertaken pursuant to documents and procedures reasonably prepared or approved by Hillman in order to appropriately effectuate the recommendations or requirements of MDE) (the “Seller’s Testing/Remediation UST Actions”, and together with the Seller’s Initial UST Obligations, the  “Seller’s Testing/Remediation UST Obligations”).  Purchaser acknowledges that such testing and remediation may include the installation of ground water monitoring wells, which may, as and to the extent reasonably approved by Purchaser (it being acknowledged that Purchaser shall approve the installation of such wells to the extent required by Environmental Requirements, but shall have the right to reasonably approve the location of such wells, as well as any other invasive testing or work that is to be undertaken at the 6110 Property) may remain at the 6110 Property at the Closing in the event that the Completion of the UST Actions (as defined below) has not then occurred.  For clarification, (i) Seller’s Testing/Remediation UST Obligations shall include continuing monitoring of the wells, and remediation, in compliance with and as required by Environmental Requirements, of any and all contaminants and contaminated soil identified by any such wells and related testing and (ii) the completion of the UST Removal on or before the Closing Date shall not be a condition to Closing and the failure to effectuate the complete the UST Removal prior to Closing shall not be a default by Seller hereunder provided that Seller shall have complied with its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to cause the UST Removal to be completed prior to the Closing Date.




41
ACTIVE/85729224.2









(c)    In the event that the UST Removal has not occurred on or before May 18, 2016, the following shall apply:  (i) Seller shall allow Purchaser to complete soil sampling around the UST to, inter alia, assess the potential for a past release of heating oil (or other UST contents) from the UST in accordance with a scope of work delivered by Purchaser to Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such sampling (the “UST Investigation Scope of Work”), (ii) Purchaser’s access to the real property for completion of the UST Investigation Scope of Work shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 4.2.2, 4.2.3 and 4.2.5, and Purchaser’s indemnification obligations in Section 6.1 and (iii) Purchaser shall implement the UST Investigation Scope of Work promptly after delivery of the same to Seller, and upon the receipt of the final written results of the same (“UST Investigation Results”) shall promptly deliver such final results to Seller.  If the UST Investigation Results identify any condition that is required to be remediated pursuant to Environmental Requirements or is reportable to MDE, Seller shall promptly notify MDE of the discharge.


(d)    In the event Completion of the UST Actions has not occurred as of the Closing, Seller shall deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, identifying with specificity and in reasonable detail (and together with all applicable supporting documentation), (i) those portions of the Completion of the UST Actions that have been fully completed and paid for, (ii) those portions of the Completion of the UST Actions that have not been fully completed and paid for and (iii) Hillman’s reasonable and good faith estimate of remaining work (including all applicable testing, remediation, repair and restoration) required in order to achieve Completion of the UST Actions, and all related costs and expenses (“Seller’s Estimate”).


(e)    In the event that Completion of the UST Actions does not occur at or prior to Closing, Seller shall at all times thereafter endeavor diligently and in good faith to cause Completion of the UST Actions (including, without limitation, the completion of the Seller’s Post-Closing UST Obligations) to occur as soon as reasonably practicable.
(f)    Purchaser shall cooperate and provide Seller and its agents, employees, representatives, contractors and consultants with reasonable and continuing access to the 6110 Property after Closing as necessary for Seller to achieve Completion of the UST Actions.  Seller shall provide not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Purchaser prior to entering the 6110 Property (or not less than five (5) Business Day’s prior written notice in the event that the proposed work could reasonably be expected to impact or interfere with the normal use and operation of the 6110 Property), including a general description for the proposed work to be performed and the estimated time period for the entry or entries.  Purchaser shall have the right to have a representative present during any entry by Seller or its agents, employees, representatives, contractors or consultants, but in no event shall Seller be required to delay the performance of any work due to Purchaser’s representative not being present, provided that Seller has timely delivered written notice to Purchaser of such entry as provided above.
(g)     Prior to any entry by Seller or Seller’s designees onto the 6110 Property for the purpose of undertaking any of the Seller’s Post-Closing UST Obligations, Seller shall: (i) if Seller or its consultant or contractor accessing the 6110 Property does not then have such a policy in force, procure a policy of commercial general liability insurance, issued by an

In the event that such insurance is required as a result of Seller or any of Seller’s designees entering the 6110 Property for the purpose of undertaking any of the Seller’s Post-Closing UST Obligations, such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence” basis, and shall be maintained in force until Completion of the UST Actions in accordance with this Section 6.2.7.  Seller’s (or its designees) entry onto the 6110 Property for the purpose of undertaking any of the Seller’s Post-Closing UST Obligations shall constitute a representation by Seller that all insurance required under this Section 6.2.7 remains in full force and effect.
(h)     Purchaser understands and agrees that in order for Seller to achieve Completion of the UST Actions, that Seller may have to temporarily damage the 6110 Property with borings or excavations and that there may be some temporary interference with Purchaser’s and Tenants’ use of the 6110 Property.  Seller, at all times, will conduct all of the Seller’s UST Obligations in compliance with all Environmental Requirements, and in a manner intended not to cause permanent damage, loss, cost or expense to Purchaser, or permanent damage to any 6110 Property or Tenants, and shall make commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere or disturb any Tenants or employees at the 6110 Property.  In addition, prior to undertaking any Seller’s UST Obligations that may either cause damage to the Property, or interfere with Purchaser’s and Tenants’ use of the 6110 Property, Seller shall provide Purchaser with detailed plans and specifications showing the activities that Seller will undertake that could cause such damage or interference, as well as Seller’s proposed activities to mitigate or otherwise minimize such damage or interference.  Seller shall not undertake any such activities unless and until the same have been expressly approved in writing by Purchaser and shall modify any such proposed activities as reasonably requested by Purchaser.  Seller will keep the 6110 Property free and clear of any mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens in connection with the Seller’s UST Obligations.  Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with copies of any correspondence sent by Seller or any of its designees to or received from MDE or other governmental authorities regarding the Seller’s UST Obligations.


(i)    Seller shall engage Hillman Consulting, LLC (“Hillman”) as Seller’s consultant having oversight and coordination authority on behalf of Seller in respect of all of Seller’s UST Obligations.

contractors),  and Tenants from and against any and all Claims arising from the acts and omissions of Seller and its agents, representatives, employees, consultants or contractors occurring in connection with the existence of the UST  and the Seller’s UST Obligations, except only as and to the extent the same arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser or its agents, representatives, employees, consultants or contractors.

(n)    In the event that the UST Removal does not occur prior to June 15, 2016, but Purchaser reasonably determines, following consultation with Hillman, that the UST Removal can be completed on or before June 24, 2016, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date to a date not later than June 27, 2016 by giving written notice of such election to extend to Seller, which notice shall specify the extended Closing Date.

Liabilities that are incurred (or reasonably may be expected to be incurred) or arise (or are reasonably expected to arise) as a result of events, circumstances, acts, omissions or states of facts disclosed in any Post Due Diligence Disclosure are referred to herein as “Supplemental Losses”.  If the Supplemental Losses are equal to or less than $4,500,000, Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Supplemental Losses.  If the Supplemental Losses exceed $4,500,000 (in which case, if Purchaser proceeds to Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing equal to $4,500,000), Purchaser shall have the right to (i) proceed to Closing and waive the amount of such Supplemental Losses over $4,500,000, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to (x) a return of the Earnest Money Deposit plus (y) (i) the receipt of an additional $1,000,000, as liquidated damages, which amounts shall be paid by Seller in accordance with Section 9.2 and (ii) if such Post Due Diligence Disclosure is the result of a Seller Default, all Purchaser Costs, which amounts shall be paid by Seller in accordance with Section 9.2; and upon such payments and receipts, the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except to the extent the same expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

8.2.2    The Sellers shall have deposited the documents and instruments specifically listed in Section 5.2 hereof with Escrow Agent on or before the Closing Date;
8.2.3    The Sellers shall have performed all of the Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement required to be performed at or prior to Closing, in all material respects.
8.2.4    The title of each Seller to its respective Property shall be subject to no Liens or Encumbrances other than Permitted Exceptions or those that Seller has Cured or made arrangements to Cure, to the satisfaction of Purchaser and the Title Company. 
8.2.5    The Sellers shall have delivered to Purchaser Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificates (as defined below) from Tenants so that there shall have been obtained Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificates (x) from all Tenants that lease or otherwise occupy, pursuant to a Lease (or Leases), more than 20,000 square feet of Leased Space in the aggregate (such tenants collectively, the “Required Tenants”; such Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificates collectively, the “Required Tenant’s Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) and (y) from Tenants covering, in the aggregate, not less than eighty percent (80%) of the Leased Space.  The Sellers agree to provide Purchaser with completed Tenant Estoppel Certificates prior to delivery to the Tenants, which shall be subject to Purchaser’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  “Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificate” shall mean any Tenant Estoppel Certificate (or, as applicable, Statement of Lease) that is executed by the applicable Tenant and which does not (i) allege therein any material default under the applicable Lease or any claim of offset, defense, counterclaim, or rent credit (other than as provided in the Lease), (ii) state any facts materially inconsistent with the applicable Lease or the rent rolls provided by the Sellers to Purchaser, or (iii) contain any other materially adverse information not contained in the completed form of such certificate as approved by Purchaser and delivered to the applicable Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Seller shall have the right (but shall not be obligated to) substitute an estoppel certificate executed by such Seller (a “Seller Lease Estoppel Certificate”) containing the information set forth in the form of the Seller Estoppel Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit L-2 and such estoppel certificate shall have the same effect under this Section 8.2.5 as an estoppel certificate executed by the Tenant; provided, however, that Seller Lease Estoppel Certificates shall be permitted to cover not more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Leased Space, and provided further that no Seller Lease Estoppel Certificate may be given with respect to any Required Tenant’s Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificate.  If the applicable Tenant shall thereafter provide a Satisfactory Tenant Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser, then such Seller Estoppel Certificate shall thereupon be null and void and of no further force or effect.

The Sellers agree to provide Purchaser with completed Licensee Estoppel Certificates prior to delivery to the licensees, which shall be subject to Purchaser’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  “Satisfactory Licensee Estoppel Certificate” shall mean any Licensee Estoppel Certificate that is executed by the applicable Required Licensee and which does not (i) allege therein any material default under

The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Licensee Estoppel Certificates from the Required Licensees.  To the extent that the Sellers have not delivered to Purchaser Satisfactory Licensee Estoppel Certificates from each of the Required Licensees, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate executed by such Seller (a “Seller License Estoppel Certificate”), with respect to each licensee for which a Satisfactory Licensee Estoppel Certificate has not been delivered, each containing the information set forth in the form of the Seller License Estoppel Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit L-4.  If the applicable licensee shall thereafter provide a Satisfactory Licensee Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser, then such Seller License Estoppel Certificate shall thereupon be null and void and of no further force or effect.

The Sellers agree to provide Purchaser with completed REA Estoppel Certificates prior to delivery thereof to the applicable signatory, which shall be subject to Purchaser’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  “Satisfactory REA Estoppel Certificate” shall mean any REA Estoppel Certificate that is executed by the applicable signatory and which does not (i) allege therein any material default by the applicable Seller, or (ii) contain any other materially adverse information not contained in the completed form of such certificate as approved by Purchaser and delivered to the applicable signatory.  The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain REA Estoppel Certificates for the Required REAs.  To the extent that the Sellers have not delivered to Purchaser Satisfactory REA Estoppel Certificates for each of the Required REAs, Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the foregoing condition precedent if the Title Company shall issue an ALTA 9.2 Comprehensive Endorsement (Restrictions, Encroachments and Minerals – Improved Land) to the Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance to be issued in favor of Purchaser insuring against any loss or damage sustained by Purchaser in connection with a violation, existing as of the Closing Date, of any covenant, condition, limitation or restriction contained in any Required REAs there were not delivered.  In the event the condition precedent in this Section 8.2.7 is satisfied pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Seller shall be required to deliver to the Title Company an affidavit in such form as may be reasonably required by the Title Company in order to issue such endorsement.     
8.2.8    At Closing, the Title Company shall be committed (subject only to payment of the premiums therefor, including any additional premiums for endorsements requested by Purchaser (all at ordinary rates and without indemnity or other liability of Purchaser), and delivery by Purchaser of such instruments and materials as the Title Company may require for the issuance of any endorsements) to issue to Purchaser Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance in the forms attached hereto as Disclosure Schedule 13, insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to each Property for the sum amount equal to such Property’s Allocated Amount, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

53
ACTIVE/85729224.2










8.3    Failure of Conditions to Closing.  The Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth herein.  If the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, the Sellers shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9.1.  If the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the Conditions set forth in Section 8.2, the Purchaser shall have the remedies set forth in Section 9.2.    

IX.      REMEDIES FOR PRE-CLOSING AND POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 

9.1    Default by Purchaser Prior to Closing.  If (a) any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser herein are inaccurate as of the Closing Date in any material respect and such inaccuracy prevents the Closing from occurring as provided for herein, (b) after all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed with the Closing have been satisfied or, in lieu thereof, waived in writing by Purchaser, Purchaser fails to deposit the Closing Payment and the documents and instruments specifically listed in Section 5.3 hereof with Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, or (c) Purchaser fails or refuses to perform any of Purchaser’s other material covenants or agreements to be performed by Purchaser under this Agreement at Closing (any of the foregoing circumstances being referred to herein as a “Purchaser Default”), then the Sellers’ sole remedies shall be (i) to terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money Deposit, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Sellers and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for any obligations or rights that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, and the right of the Sellers to collect such liquidated damages from Purchaser and Escrow Agent; or (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof.  If the Closing does not occur because of a Purchaser Default, Purchaser and the Sellers agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which the Sellers may suffer.  Therefore, Purchaser and the Sellers hereby agree that, in the event of a Purchaser Default, a reasonable estimate of the total damages that the Sellers would suffer from a Purchaser Default is and shall be an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit.  Said amount shall be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for the Purchaser Default, and the recovery of such amount shall be the Sellers’ sole remedy at law or in equity as a result of a Purchaser Default.  All of the claims to damages or other remedies as a result of a Purchaser Default are expressly waived by the Sellers.    

9.2    Default by Sellers Prior to Closing.  If (a) the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2.1 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, (b) after all of the conditions to the Sellers’ obligations to proceed with the Closing have been satisfied or, in lieu thereof, waived in writing by the Sellers, the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2.2 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, or (c) the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2.3 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date (any of the foregoing circumstances being referred to herein as a “Seller Default”), then Purchaser may elect, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a Seller Default, either: (i) to pursue an action against the Sellers for specific performance, provided that such action must be initiated within ninety (90) days following the date on which the Closing should have occurred in accordance with this Agreement; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement and thereupon to receive the Earnest Money Deposit and reimbursement from Sellers of the third-party out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Purchaser 


54
ACTIVE/85729224.2









in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement up to a maximum of Four Hundred Thousand and 0/100 ($400,000.00) (the “Purchaser Costs”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if specific performance is not available as a result of actions taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of any Seller in bad faith, Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies at law or in equity in respect of such Seller Default, subject to the limitations of Section 9.4 hereof.  Furthermore, and notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Closing does not occur as provided for herein for any reason other than a Purchaser Default (and regardless of whether such failure to close is the result of a Seller Default), Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit (without duplication of the return of Earnest Money Deposit under any other terms or provisions of this Agreement (including the terms of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 9.2)) and Sellers shall pay to Purchaser liquidated damages in the amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000), which amount (together with the Purchaser Costs, if applicable), is agreed by the Sellers and the Purchaser to be a reasonable estimate of the total damages that the Purchaser would suffer in the event that the transaction hereunder were to fail to close. All other claims to damages or other remedies in connection with a Seller Default (other than as specified in this Section 9.2) are expressly waived by Purchaser.  The refund of the Earnest Money Deposit and the payment of the expenses and other liquidated damages as set forth herein is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Purchaser.  

9.3    Limitations of Purchaser’s Post-Closing Claims. Each of the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations and liabilities of each other Seller under this Agreement, subject to the following limitations.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any document or instrument (including any deeds, bill of sale or assignments) executed by any Seller and delivered to Purchaser at or in connection with the Closing (collectively, “Closing Documents”), no Seller shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to, and Purchaser shall be forever barred from making or bringing any Claims or asserting any liability against a Seller with respect to any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, to the extent that the total liability of all of the Sellers for such Claims, liabilities and breaches of any of the foregoing representation and warranties would otherwise exceed the Cap Amount. As used herein the “Cap Amount” means an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price.  For clarification, Purchaser shall in all events be entitled to bring Claims and to receive amounts from Sellers hereunder in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (x) the Cap Amount plus (y) all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in prosecuting, pursuing and/or collecting such amounts.

9.4    Other Limitations of Claims.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any Seller or Purchaser be liable for indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind, and Sellers and Purchaser shall all be barred from and hereby waives any Claim for the same.

9.5    Survival of Purchaser’s Claims.  The representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in Section 7.2 shall survive only until the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that the “Survival Date” shall be extended with respect to any representation or warranty as to which Purchaser shall have, on or before the expiration of such nine (9) month period, either (a) commenced a legal proceeding based on the breach thereof 


55
ACTIVE/85729224.2









as of the date of Closing or (b) provided written notice to the Sellers of such a breach on or before the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date and thereafter commences a legal proceeding based on such breach within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and such extension of the Survival Date shall be only for so long as such proceeding shall continue (including any period prior to the commencement of such proceeding in the event Purchaser has delivered written notice to the Sellers of such breach, as above, provided that in such event Purchaser shall commence a legal proceeding based on such breach on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, as above), and limited to the breach therein claimed.  Any permitted Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against a Seller for breach of any such representation or warranty, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a written notice providing specific details of the alleged breach (a “Claim Notice”) has not been delivered to the Sellers on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto.  Any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against a Seller for a breach of any such representation or warranty, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to the Sellers on or prior to the Survival Date (a “Pending Claim”) may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by Purchaser against the Sellers.

9.6    Survival of Sellers’ Claims.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained herein or in any document or instrument executed by Purchaser and delivered to the Sellers at or in connection with the Closing (collectively, “Purchaser Closing Documents”) shall survive only until the Survival Date.  Any Claim that the Sellers may have any time against Purchaser for breach of any such representation and warranty, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has not been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto.  Any Claim that the Sellers may have at any time against Purchaser for a breach of any such representation or warranty, whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by the Sellers against Purchaser.  

9.7    Limitations on Liability.
9.7.1    The parties hereto confirm and agree that in each instance herein where a party or its Affiliates is entitled to payment or reimbursement for damages, costs or expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any payment or reimbursement made to such party shall be conclusively deemed to be for the account of both such party and its Affiliates.
9.7.2    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no shareholder, director, officer or employee of any party to this Agreement shall have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or obligations of such party under this Agreement or any document executed by such party pursuant to this Agreement.


56
ACTIVE/85729224.2










9.8    Joinder.  In furtherance of the joint and several liability of the Sellers, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all liabilities of Seller under this Agreement or any document delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement are, to the extent not a direct liability of WashREIT, hereby guaranteed (the “Guaranty”), by WashREIT (in such capacity, “Guarantor”).  The Guaranty shall be subject to all of the limitations and applicable provisions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation and as and to the extent applicable, the Cap Amount with respect to Seller’s breach of representations and warranties as set forth in Section 9.3 and the provisions of Sections 9.4 and 9.5).  In the event that Purchaser has not asserted any claims arising from breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties in writing by notice to Seller on or prior to the Survival Date, then Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations with respect to such claims under this Section 9.8.

9.9    Survival.  Article IX shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Closing.

X.      BROKERS 
The Sellers represent and warrant to Purchaser, and Purchaser represents and warrants to the Sellers, that except for Cushman & Wakefield (“Broker”), no broker or finder has been engaged by the Sellers, Purchaser or their affiliates, respectively, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or to its knowledge is in any way connected with this transaction.  Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person engaged or retained by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  The Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person engaged or retained by the Sellers in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation, Broker.  The Sellers and Purchaser (except with respect to the commission which shall be paid by the Sellers to Broker) each agree to Indemnify the other with respect to Claims for payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person which such party or its representatives has engaged or retained, or which shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by such party, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the sale of all of the Properties by the Sellers.  The provisions of this Article X shall survive the Closing.

XI.      NOTICES 
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered by (i) email (in which case delivery shall be deemed to occur upon transmission to the designated email addresses below) or (ii) overnight delivery service (next business day delivery) (in which case delivery shall be deemed to occur on the next business day at 12:00 noon), as follows:

Any correctly-addressed Notice that is refused, unclaimed or undelivered because of an act or omission of the party to be notified shall be considered to be effective as of the first day that the Notice was refused, unclaimed or considered undeliverable by the overnight delivery service or by such party’s email service.  The parties hereto shall have the right from time to time, and at any time, to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America, by giving to the other party at least ten (10) days prior Notice thereof, in the manner prescribed herein; provided, however, that to be effective, any such change of address must be actually received (as evidenced by a return receipt, if sent by overnight delivery service).  Telephone numbers are listed for convenience purposes only and not for the purposes of giving Notice pursuant to this Agreement.  Any Notice that is required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under this Agreement may be given by such party or its legal counsel, who are hereby authorized to do so on the party’s behalf.

XII.      MISCELLANEOUS 

12.1    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland.  If any legal action is necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that the courts in the State of Maryland shall be the sole jurisdiction and venue for the bringing of the action.

12.2    Professional Fees and Costs    .  If a lawsuit or other proceedings are instituted by any party to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement against any other party hereto, the prevailing party in such litigation or proceedings shall be entitled, as an additional item of damages, to such reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and costs (including, but not limited to, witness fees), court costs, travel expenses, and other reasonable, actual, out-of pocket expenses or costs of such other proceedings, which amount shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or other judicial or quasi-judicial body having jurisdiction thereof, whether or not such litigation or proceedings proceed to a final judgment or award.  For the purposes of this section, any party receiving an award or judgment for damages or other amounts shall be deemed to be the prevailing party, regardless of amount of the damage awarded or whether the award or judgment was based on all or some of such party’s claims or causes of action, and any party against whom a lawsuit or other proceeding is instituted and later voluntarily dismissed by the instituting party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party.  

12.3    Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules a Part of This Agreement.  The Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules attached hereto are incorporated in this Agreement by reference and are hereby made a part hereof.

12.4    Executed Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the due execution and delivery of this 


59







Agreement to the parties hereto.

Seller and Purchaser intend to be bound by the signatures on the telecopied, .PDF or other electronic document, are aware that the other party will rely on the telecopied, .PDF or other electronic signatures, and hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of signature.

12.5    Assignment.  Purchaser may not assign, convey and otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest or rights herein without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent may be withheld in the Sellers’ sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser may (without the Sellers’ consent and without any requirement of notice to the Sellers) assign and transfer in whole or in part as to any specific Property all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one (1) or more wholly owned subsidiary(ies) of Purchaser (which subsidiary(ies) are, at the time of assignment and at the time of Closing, disregarded entities of Purchaser for Federal income tax purposes), in the form of the Assignment of Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit K. Purchaser shall not be released of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any assignment through Closing, but the assigning Purchaser shall be released of all liabilities hereunder accruing from and after Closing.  Any assignment as permitted in the preceding sentence shall be conditioned upon Purchaser delivering to the Sellers and Escrow Agent a copy of a fully-executed copy of the assignment agreement which shall (by the terms thereof) indicate that such assignee(s) is/are a disregarded entity(ies) of Purchaser for Federal income tax purposes. The Sellers may not assign or transfer their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser.  No transfer or assignment by either party in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable.

12.6    IRS - Form 1099-S.  For purposes of complying with Section 6045 of the Code, Escrow Agent shall be deemed the “person responsible for closing the transaction” and shall be responsible for obtaining the information necessary to file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-S, “Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions.”

12.7    Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.8    Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

12.9    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, and Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules and other documents and instruments attached to or referenced herein, contain the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the purchase and sale of all of the Properties, and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, letters of intent, agreements and representations, whether oral or written, are entirely superseded.  Except for any of the following expressly contained in this Agreement, the Sellers and Purchaser each expressly disclaim any reliance on any oral or written representations, warranties, comments, statements or assurances made by the Sellers, Purchaser, and any of their respective affiliates, and their respective agents, employees, representatives, attorneys or brokers, as an inducement or otherwise, to Purchaser’s and the Sellers’ 


60







respective execution hereof.  No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and executed by the parties hereto.

12.10    Further Assurances.  Whenever and so often as requested by a party, the other party will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary and reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in such requesting party all rights, interests, powers, benefits privileges and advantages conferred or intended to be conferred upon it by this Agreement, or to effectuate the termination of this Agreement and cancellation of the Escrow (if otherwise permitted hereunder).  The terms of this section shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

12.11    Waiver.  Failure or delay by either party to insist on the strict performance of any covenant, term, provision or condition hereunder, or to exercise any option herein contained, or to pursue any claim or right arising herefrom, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such covenant, term, provision, condition, option, claim or right (except that if a party proceeds to Closing, notwithstanding the failure of a condition to its obligation to close, then such condition shall be deemed waived by virtue of the Closing).  Any waiver by either party shall be effective only if in a writing delivered to the other party hereto and setting forth, with specificity, the covenant, term, provision or condition so waived.  Any such waiver shall not constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver of any subsequent default.

12.12    Headings.  The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not limit or define the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.

12.13    Risk of Loss.  With respect to each Property, the risk of loss shall be as follows:
12.13.1    Risk of Loss.  Until the Closing Date, each Seller shall bear the risk of loss resulting from damage to such Seller’s Property by fire or other casualty (collectively “Casualty”).  If, prior to the Closing Date, a Property shall be damaged by any Casualty, such Property’s Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a Notice (“Casualty Notice”) of such event.  Upon Purchaser’s receipt of a Casualty Notice, such Seller and Purchaser shall meet promptly to estimate the cost to repair and restore the Improvements to good condition and to replace the damaged Personal Property (“Casualty Renovation Cost”).  If the parties are unable to agree on the cost of restoration, the matter will be submitted to an engineer designated by such Seller and an engineer designated by Purchaser, each licensed to practice in the jurisdiction in which the Land is located, and the engineers shall resolve the dispute.  If the engineers fail to resolve the dispute, they shall designate a third engineer, who shall determine such resolution, which determination shall be binding on the Sellers and on the Purchaser.  Each party hereto shall bear the costs and expenses of its own engineer.  The cost of a third engineer, if any is appointed by the parties’ respective engineers, shall be borne one half (1/2) by the Sellers and one half (1/2) by the Purchaser.
12.13.2    Material Loss. If (a) the Casualty Renovation Cost for any single Property exceeds ten percent (10%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount, or if the Casualty Renovation Costs, in the aggregate for all of the Properties that have suffered a casualty, exceeds two and one half percent (2.5%) of the Purchase Price, (b) the Casualty would reduce available parking below 


61







that required by, or in general cause a violation of, any Legal Requirements or any Permitted Exceptions, (c) the Casualty would impair reasonable access to the Property without comparable substitute access acceptable to Purchaser being available or (d) the Casualty gives any Required Tenant the right to terminate its Lease (which right has not then been waived in writing by all such Required Tenants), then Purchaser may, at its option, elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement with respect to the impacted Property or Properties or (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety.  Such termination right may be exercised only by Notice to the Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after the date that the Casualty Renovation Cost for such Property or in the aggregate for all Properties that have suffered casualties is determined to exceed the applicable amount stated in the preceding sentence (and if necessary the Closing Date will be extended to accommodate such ten (10) business day period), and in the event of a termination hereof with respect only to the impacted Property or Properties, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Amount of the impacted Property or Properties.  If this Agreement can be terminated pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 12.13.2, but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such provision, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Casualty Renovation Cost and the Sellers shall assign to Purchaser the proceeds of any business interruption insurance policy(ies) payable to the Sellers for the period after the Closing Date for loss of revenue suffered by the Purchaser as a result of the Casualty.
12.13.3    Nonmaterial Loss.  If the Casualty Renovation Cost for any single Property does not exceed ten percent (10%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount, or if the Casualty Renovation Costs, in the aggregate for all Properties that have suffered a casualty, does not exceed two and one half percent (2.5%) of the Purchase Price, then, in any such event, Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement due to such Casualty, but the Closing shall take place as provided herein and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Casualty Renovation Cost and the Sellers shall assign to Purchaser the proceeds of any business interruption insurance policy(ies) payable to the Sellers for the period after the Closing Date for loss of revenue suffered by the Purchaser as a result of the Casualty.
12.13.4    Eminent Domain.  If, prior to the Closing Date, any Seller receives notice that a material portion of one of its Properties (or access or other material rights in connection therewith) as would, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect the operation of such Property or uses of such Property is, or has been threatened in writing by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, to be taken by condemnation or eminent domain, such Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser, and at the election of Purchaser this Agreement shall, upon the giving of Notice of such event or of the condemning authorities’ intention so to take such Property, either (i) terminate with respect only to the impacted Property, but the Closing shall proceed with respect to the remaining Properties (with the Purchase Price reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price of the impacted Property) or (ii) terminate in its entirety.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date all of the proceeds of any award or payment made or to be made by reason of such taking shall be assigned by such Seller to Purchaser, and any money theretofore received by such Seller in connection with such taking shall be paid over to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price without abatement by reason of such taking.  Such Seller shall not settle, agree to, or accept any award or payment in connection 


62
ACTIVE/85729224.2









with a taking of less than all of the Property without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  As used in this Section, “material portion,” “material rights” or “materially adversely affect” means, with respect to a Property, a taking or condemnation that (a) would reduce available parking below that required by, or in general cause a violation of, any Legal Requirements or any Permitted Exceptions, (b) would result in a condemnation award reasonably estimated to exceed ten percent (10%) of such Property’s Allocated Amount, (c) would result in a condemnation award that, when combined with the amount of all other condemnation awards for takings or condemnations affecting any of the other Properties, would reasonably be estimated to exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Purchase Price, (d) would impair reasonable access to the Property without comparable substitute access acceptable to Purchaser being available or (e) would give any Required Tenant the right to terminate its Lease (which right has not then been waived in writing by all such Required Tenants). 

12.14    Construction of Agreement.  The parties hereto have negotiated this Agreement at length, and have had the opportunity to consult with, and be represented by, their own competent counsel.  This Agreement is, therefore, deemed to have been jointly prepared.  In determining the meaning of, or resolving any ambiguity with respect to, any word, phrase or provision of this Agreement, no uncertainty or ambiguity shall be construed or resolved against any party under any rule of construction, including the party primarily responsible for the drafting and preparation of this Agreement. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar reference mean and refer to this Agreement.  The words “this Agreement” include the exhibits, schedules addenda and any future written modifications, unless otherwise indicated by the context.  The words “will,” “shall” and “must” in this Agreement indicate a mandatory obligation.  All dollar amounts set forth in this Agreement are stated in United States Dollars, unless otherwise specified.  The words “day” and “days” refer to calendar days unless otherwise stated.  The words “business day” refer to a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday (hereinafter defined).  The words “month” and “months” refer to calendar months unless otherwise stated.  The words “year” and “years” refer to calendar years unless otherwise stated.  If any date herein set forth for the performance of any obligations by Sellers or Purchaser or for the delivery of any instrument or notice as herein provided should fall on a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday, the compliance with such obligations or delivery will be deemed acceptable on the next business day following such Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday.  As used herein, the term “Legal Holiday” will mean any local or federal holiday on which post offices are closed in the State of Maryland. 

12.15    Bulk Transfers.  The Sellers and Purchaser specifically waive compliance with the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code – Bulk Transfers, with any similar provision under any similar provisions in the laws of the state, county, and city in which any of the Properties is located, to the extent such provisions may be waived under the applicable Legal Requirement.

12.16    Intentionally Omitted.

12.17    Press Releases; Confidentiality.  Prior to Closing, neither party may release any press release or other public disclosure or communication with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (i) the press release and public disclosure language of Seller substantially as set forth in the email from Andrew Leahy to Robert Swennes on April 23, 2016 


63
ACTIVE/85729224.2









(8:43 a.m. Eastern Time), (ii) [intentionally omitted] and (iii) the required SEC disclosures contemplated by the final sentence of this Section 12.17.  After Closing, either party may issue press releases or other public communications announcing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such press release or other public disclosure or communication shall include any information (other than the identification of the parties) that is required to be kept confidential pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Section 12.17.  Prior to Closing, Purchaser and the Sellers (each, a “Disclosing Party”) shall refrain, and shall cause their agents and representatives to refrain, from disclosing in any manner whatsoever, (a) the information provided to such party by any other party to this Agreement or their representatives (each, a “Receiving Party”), or (b) any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by or on behalf of the Receiving Party, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of the Disclosing Party (collectively, “Proprietary Information”).  The foregoing shall not preclude the Receiving Party (i) from discussing the Proprietary Information with any person who is employed by the Receiving Party or who, on behalf of the Receiving Party, is actively and directly participating in the purchase and sale of all of the Properties, including, without limitation, to the Receiving Party’s shareholders, partners, members, existing or prospective lenders, attorneys, accountants and other consultants and advisors, or (ii) from complying with all laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements; provided, however, that if the Receiving Party is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that, if possible, confidential treatment will be accorded to the Proprietary Information.  The Receiving Party shall inform its respective representatives of the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information and shall direct them to be bound by the terms of this section.  In addition to any other remedies available to the Disclosing Party, the Disclosing Party shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against the Receiving Party in order to enforce the provisions of this section.  The provisions of such confidentiality agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees not to contact, directly or indirectly, any personnel at any of the Properties prior to the Closing Date, and agrees to be liable for all of the Sellers’ damages in the event of any such contact by Purchaser or any of its agents or representatives.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12.17, at any time, Purchaser, the Sellers and their affiliates may make such filings and/or disclosures (including the filing of this Agreement) with the SEC as are required (in such filing and/or disclosing party’s good faith judgment) in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreements, provided, however, that no such filing and/or disclosure (other than (x) the filing of this Agreement and (y) the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 12.17) shall be made prior to Closing unless the disclosing party (i) provides not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other party of such intended filing or disclosure, which notice shall include the specific terms and form (including any attachments or exhibits thereto) and (ii) consults reasonably and in good faith with any reasonable requests or suggestions of the other party in respect of such filing or disclosure made during such (2) Business Day period (provided that disclosing party shall not be required to accept any such suggestions as and to the extent disclosing party, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, believes that such 


64







suggestions are either (x) not consistent with applicable law or (y) adverse to disclosing party in any way).  

12.18    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

12.23.1      If the Sellers or Purchaser elects to effectuate an Exchange, and such Exchange cannot be effected for any reason, the Sellers and Purchaser shall be obligated to close the transaction as a purchase and sale pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

12.23.2      To exercise its right under this Section 12.23 to exchange, rather than sell or purchase, as applicable, all or some of the Properties, the Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, shall provide the other party with a written statement stating its intent to enter into an Exchange not later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date.
12.23.3      If the Sellers or Purchaser exercises its right to exchange, rather than sell or purchase, as applicable, all or some of the Properties, the Sellers may, on or before the Closing Date, assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary”, as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) (the “Accommodator”) or an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”), or transfer such Properties to the Accommodator or the EAT, subject to all of Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s right to acquire such Properties at the Closing or Purchaser may, on or before the Closing Date, assign its rights under this Agreement to an Accommodator or an EAT, or direct the Sellers to convey such Properties to an Accommodator or an EAT at Closing, subject to all of the Sellers’ rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Sellers or Purchaser shall notify the other party of the identity of the Accommodator or EAT within five (5) days after designation of same, and further provided that the party designating an Accommodator or EAT (the “Designating Party”) shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations, representations, warranties and covenants of the Designating Party hereunder.  If Sellers elect to use an Accommodator or EAT, all payments that Purchaser is obligated to make to the Sellers under this Agreement shall be made to such Accommodator or EAT and not to the Sellers.  If Purchaser elects to use an Accommodator or EAT, Sellers shall convey the applicable properties to such Accommodator or EAT and not the Purchaser.  Purchaser and the Sellers agree to cooperate with each other and the Accommodator or EAT in arranging the Exchange.  The party which is not the Designating Party (the “Non-Designating Party”) shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Designating Party and the Accommodator or EAT to facilitate the Exchange as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations effective thereunder at the time of Closing hereunder, including, but not limited to, any appropriate amendments to this Agreement, any acknowledgements of assignments to an Accommodator or EAT, and any appropriate escrow instructions; provided, however, that no such document shall adversely affect the Non-Designating Party in any respect or change any of the economic terms and conditions of the transaction with respect to the Non-Designating Party or modify or limit the Non-Designating Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement.  The Non-Designating Party shall not be obligated to incur any costs, expenses, losses, liabilities or damages greater than those the Non-Designating Party would have incurred had the Designating Party not elected to effect an exchange.  The Designating Party shall reimburse the Non-Designating Party on demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Non-Designating Party in excess of those that would have been incurred if the Designating Party had not elected to effect an Exchange.
12.23.4      In no event shall the Non-Designating Party be obligated to acquire title to any other property, in connection with such Exchange.  In the event the Purchaser is the Non-Designating Party, Purchaser’s sole obligation in connection with any Exchange shall be to acquire the Property from the Sellers or their assignee in exchange for the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Designating Party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Non-Designating Party free and harmless from all costs, expenses, losses, damages or 


66







liability, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any Exchange and the Non-Designating Party's cooperation hereunder.  Each party acknowledges that neither of them is making any representations, and neither of them is relying on any representations of the other party or the other party's counsel, with respect to the federal, state or local income tax treatment of either of them in connection with this transaction, and neither party shall have any liability in connection with any tax treatment received by either of them in connection with this transaction, including, without limitation, any failure of this transaction to qualify as an Exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.

12.24    Further Assurances. If the Closing occurs, then the parties agree to take such further actions and execute such additional documents and instruments as may be reasonably required in order to carry out the terms of this Agreement such as correcting a so-called scrivener’s error; provided, however, that in no event shall a party be required to take such action or execute any document or instrument that would increase the costs, liabilities or obligations of such party.  The terms of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months.
