    in Berlin

    

    

    Today, 10 February 2020, the following persons appeared before me, the 

    undersigned Notary

    

    

    Dr. Andreas Manthey,

     

    Joachimsthaler Straße 24, 10719 Berlin,

    

    

    1.            Mr. Julius Falcinelli, born on 27/01/1993, with business address at Lenbachplatz 5, 80333 Munich,

    

    

    2.            Mr. Alexander Kroth, born on 04/07/1982,

     

    

    
      
        	3.	
                Mr. Christian Hellmuth, born on 24/12/1979, the second and third persons appearing having their business address at August-Bebel-Straße 68, 14482 Potsdam.

              

      

    

    

    

    The first person appearing identified himself by presenting his valid identity card with a photograph; the second and third persons appearing are known to the notary.

    

    

    The notary explained the prohibition on cooperation pursuant to § 3(1)(7) of the German Notarial Recording Act. The persons appearing answered in the negative the notary's question as to whether
      there was any such prior involvement.

     

    

    
      
        

    

    
    

    

    The first person appearing declared in advance that he is not acting on his own behalf, but on the basis of a notarial and apostilled power of attorney dated 28 January 2020, which was available in
      the original at the time of notarial recording and is annexed as Appendix A, for

    

    

    OPTIBASE BAVARIA Holding GmbH,

    registered in the Commercial Register of the Munich District Court under HRB 215136

    whose statutory seat is in Munich and whose registered office is at Lenbachplatz 5, 80333 Munich,

    

    

    which in turn is acting in its capacity as a personally liable shareholder with sole power of representation of

    

    

    OPTIBASE BAVARIA GmbH & Co. KG,

    registered in the Munich District Court Commercial Register under HRA 102469

    whose statutory seat is in Munich and whose registered office is at Lenbachplatz 5, 80333 Munich,

    

    

    subsequently referred to as the “Seller”

     

    The second and third persons appearing then declared in advance that they would not make the following declarations on their own behalf either, but in the capacity of officers with joint
      representation authority of

    

    

    Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG,

    whose statutory seat is in Broderstorf;

    with business address at 14482 Potsdam, August-Bebel-Straße 68,

    registered in the Rostock District Court Commercial Register under HRB 13072,

    Tax No. 046/100/02493, Potsdam Tax Office

    

    

    - subsequently referred to as the “Buyer”-

    

    

    - the Seller and the Buyer shall also be subsequently referred to individually as a Party and collectively as the Parties.

    

    

    The notary hereby certifies in accordance with §21 of the German Federal Notaries Code on the basis of the inspection of entry HRB 13072 in the Rostock District Court’s electronic commercial register
      on 23/01/2020 that Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG and the second and third persons appearing are registered there as its officers with joint power of representation.

    

    

    At the notary’s request, the Seller and Buyer confirmed that they are each acting on their own behalf and for their own account, i.e. not, for example, as trustees for third-party economic
      beneficiaries.

    

    

    The notary also drew the attention of the persons appearing to the fact that a transparency register is kept (§18(1), (2) of the German Anti-Money Laundering Act), in which the information on the
      beneficial owner listed in §19 of the German Anti-Money Laundering Act must be recorded, insofar as this information does not emerge from publicly accessible registers, and that the company is responsible for the procurement of this information and
      its electronic transmission to the transparency register (§ 20(1), (2) of the German Anti-Money Laundering Act).

     

    The notary pointed out that in the event of the sale of all or a substantial part of the Seller's assets, a notarial resolution of the Seller's shareholders in accordance with §§179, 179a of the
      German Stock Corporation Act in which they have agreed to the subsequent sale of the object of purchase to the Buyer may be required analogously for the Seller’s representation in this deed. The corresponding apostilled shareholders' resolution of
      06/02/2020 in Deed No. 361/2020 of the notary Ram Ephrati, Herzliya, Israel, is annexed to this deed as Appendix B.

     

    The persons appearing, acting in the aforementioned capacities, then asked the officiating notary to record the following in their presence:

      standards). The list of appendices to the Reference Deed is annexed to this deed as Appendix 1.

                PROPERTY

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.1	
                The Seller is registered as the owner or holder of the heritable building right or co-owner of the 25 properties, a heritable building right and a condominium unit described in Appendix 2.1
                  (subsequently referred to individually as the “Property” or collectively as “Entire Property”) in the Land Register, Register of Heritable Building Rights
                  and Condominium Register. Recent extracts from the Land Register, Register of Heritable Building Rights and Condominium Register are annexed as Appendix 2.1.

              

      

    

     

    The definition of the respective property is solely dependent on the Land Register description in Appendix 2.1. The Parties agree that
      claims and rights due to possible deviations in the size of the property from the land register area specifications are excluded.

     

    The individual object of purchase 3 exclusively comprises the hereditary building right for the building erected on the property In der Grube 2 in Chamerau (registered in the
      Chamerau Land Register, Vol. 33 Folio 1336, BV No. 17, Plot 160). The individual purchase object 9 exclusively comprises the individual ownership of the store marked No. 12 in the partition plan as well as a co-ownership share of 2,000/10,000 in the
      property Krumenauerstraße 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 in Ingolstadt (entered in the Ingolstadt Condominium Register, Vol. 812 Folio 34277, BV No. 1, Plot 2268/4). All other individual objects of purchase include the respective real property with all
      rights, obligations, legal constituent elements including the structural facilities and appurtenances listed above, insofar as they are the Seller’s property.

    With regard to the individual object of purchase 10 (Kempten-Lenzfried), the Seller concluded a property exchange agreement subject to a condition precedent with BreFa
      Bauunternehmung GmbH on 23 October 2018 (Deed No. B 2396/2018 of notary Dr. Lorenz Bülow, Kempten, the “Kempten Exchange Agreement”). A copy of the Kempten Exchange Agreement is annexed as Appendix 2.1a. On the basis of the Kempten Exchange Agreement, among other things, a partial area of approx. 345 m2 of individual purchase object 10 is to be transferred to
      BreFa Bauunternehmung GmbH, which is the owner of the neighbouring property, while a partial area of approx. 555 m2 of the neighbouring property is to be added to individual purchase object 10. The conditions precedent agreed in the Kempten Exchange
      Agreement have not yet been satisfied. Consequently, the parties to the Kempten Exchange Agreement each have the right to withdraw from the Kempten Exchange Agreement as of 1 April 2019. The Seller has not yet exercised the right of withdrawal and
      the Seller has not yet received a declaration of withdrawal from the owner of the neighbouring property. The Seller hereby assigns to the Buyer, subject to a condition precedent and with the effect of discharging its obligations, all rights and
      obligations under the Kempten Exchange Agreement as of the date of transfer of the individual object of purchase. The Buyer accepts this assignment and at the same time undertakes to indemnify the Seller upon first demand against all claims of third
      parties arising from or in connection with the conclusion, execution and possible cancellation of the Kempten Exchange Agreement. BreFa Bauunternehmung GmbH’s consent shall be obtained for the assignment regulated above, and the Seller shall
      immediately request this after today. As long as this consent has not been obtained, the Parties shall act from an economic standpoint as if consent had been given and the assumption of the Kempten Exchange Agreement had become effective on the
      transfer date. If BreFa Bauunternehmung GmbH’s required consent to the assignment of the rights and obligations under the Kempten Exchange Agreement is refused, the Seller is entitled and obliged to inform the Buyer accordingly and to declare
      withdrawal from the Kempten Exchange Agreement. In the event of withdrawal, mutual claims of the Parties are excluded.

     

    
      
        	2.2	
                As can be seen from Appendix 2.1, there are charges registered against the respective property in Section II of the Land Register.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.3	
                As can be seen from Appendix 2.1, there are charges registered against the respective property in Section II of the Land Register.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.4	
                The Land Charges Register was not inspected by the Seller or the officiating notary. The Buyer had the opportunity to obtain information itself and to inspect the Land Charges Register (if such a register is kept for individual
                  properties). The Seller declares that it has not applied for any changes with regard to the land charges information provided in the data room in accordance with sub-clause 13.3 and that, to its knowledge, the respective municipalities
                  have no outstanding applications for recording in the Land Charges Register.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.5	
                The officiating notary has assessed the contents of the Land Register, Register of Heritable Building Rights and Condominium Register on the basis of the inspection of electronic land register excerpts of 07/02 and 10/02/2020,
                  respectively, and hereby confirms the completeness and correctness of the status of the entries in sub-clauses 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 and that at the time of the inspection, and that at this time, with the exception of the following
                  applications, the land registry office had no outstanding application. Following an inspection of the list of pending land registration requests, the applications listed in Appendix 2.5 are
                  pending. The Seller declares that it has lodged no other applications beyond this.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.6	
                The respective property has been developed and (with the exception of individual object of purchase 1 concerning the property in Beratzhausen, for which a termination agreement subject to a condition precedent has been concluded with
                  the previous tenant) let.

              

      

    

     

    The Buyer is aware that photovoltaic systems have been installed on the roofs of some individual objects of purchase. In this context, the Seller has pointed out to the Buyer
      that it has no knowledge of who has installed these facilities and that therefore the ownership of these facilities has not been conclusively clarified and no documents are available to the Seller in this regard. Installation of the photovoltaic
      systems by a previous owner of the property in question or the tenant of the respective individual purchase object cannot be ruled out. The Buyer waives the assertion of any claims or rights against the Seller arising therefrom or in this connection
      and acknowledges this condition of the respective individual objects of purchase items concerned as being contractually compliant.

        	2.7	
                The Buyer shall assume all (i) land charges mentioned in sub-clause 2.2 in conjunction with Appendix 2.1 and Appendix 2.5, (ii) land charges and
                  restrictions in the Land Register, Register of Heritable Building Rights and Condominium Register registered with the Buyer’s consent or cooperation; (iii)  charges recorded in the Land Charges Register or whose registration has been
                  requested, as well as (iv) future charges and restrictions provided for in this Purchase Agreement, including the charges and restrictions still to be registered from the Kempten Exchange Agreement, without compensation and without
                  offsetting against the total purchase price or the individual purchase prices and with continued acquiescence and performance. Similarly, the Buyer shall also assume the agreements and obligations under the law of obligations contained in
                  the respective approval documents and declarations of obligation for the registration or recording, or upon which they are based, with the release of the Seller with effect from the Transfer Date. The Buyer shall also assume any and all
                  existing and future land charges and restrictions which are not evident from the Land Register or other registers, unregistrable or previously established. The Seller declares that it is not aware of any previously established easements.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.8	
                The Seller shall delete from the Land Register at its expense all land charges that will not be assumed by the Buyer, in particular all land charges in section III of the land registers. The Seller hereby approves and requests their
                  cancellation.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	2.9	
                After today, the Buyer intends to enter into negotiations with the current charge-holder DZ HYP regarding the possible financing of individual objects of purchase. In the event that the Buyer notifies the Seller in writing (email
                  sufficient) by 21 February 2020 that it has agreed a binding term sheet with DZ HYP on the basis of a financing confirmation, the Parties will examine and agree on the possibilities for the Buyer to assume the land charges recorded in the
                  land registers. If the Parties do not agree on the final wording of a notarial addendum to the Purchase Agreement regulating this outcome by 28 February 2020, the negotiations shall be deemed to have failed and the release of land charges
                  and cancellation shall be carried out in accordance with the above sub-clause 2.8. There is no obligation for either party to conclude a corresponding addendum to the Purchase Agreement.

                The Seller hereby sells to the Buyer, who accepts this in sole ownership - or in relation to the heritable building right the same - the respective property described in Appendix 2.1 together
                  with all essential components and appurtenances, as far as these are the Seller’s property (where each individual property shall be referred to in each case as the “Object of Purchase” or “Individual Object of Purchase”,  and all individual objects of purchase shall be collectively referred to as the “Entire Object of Purchase”)

                The contractual parties hereby clarify that the sales of the 27 individual objects of purchase agreed in this deed are each legally independent purchase agreements, which are each executed independently, unless otherwise expressly
                  agreed in this deed (“Individual Sales”). However, the individual sales are grouped together in this deed due to their connectedness and for reasons of simplification.

                The (net) purchase prices for the respective individual objects of purchase are contained in Appendix 4.1 annexed to this deed (“Individual Purchase

        	4.2	
                In accordance with Appendix 4.1, the (net) purchase price for the entire object of purchase is

              

      

    

     

    35,000,000 euro

     

    (in words: Thirty-five million euro) (“Total Purchase Price”).

     

    
      
        	4.3	
                To secure the Buyer’s payment obligations under this Purchase Agreement, the Buyer has this day furnished the Seller with the original of a directly enforceable guarantee from ODDO BHF Aktiengesellschaft with registered office in
                  Frankfurt am Main in the amount of 3,500,000 euro, a copy of which is annexed as Appendix 4.3 to this deed for information purposes. In the event of the Buyer’s withdrawal in accordance
                  with § 18.3.1 the Seller is entitled to satisfy the claim for payment of the contractual penalty from the guarantee. Otherwise, the Seller shall release the guarantee to the Buyer (i) either immediately after receipt of payment of all
                  individual purchase prices owed by the Buyer under this Agreement for the entire object of purchase or (ii) in the event of a cancellation of this Purchase Agreement which is not based on a (partial) payment default by the Buyer, after
                  submission to the land registry of the enforceable application for cancellation of the priority notices of conveyance registered in accordance with § 16.1.1 in the Buyer’s favour.

              

      

    

     

    The notary informed the persons appearing of the risks associated with the immediate release of the guarantee – Buyer’s unsecured advance payment – and has discussed
      possibilities to avoid them - e.g. escrow deposit with the notary and release only after the occurrence of the event of default; the parties insist on immediate handover.

                Seller and Buyer hereby confirm that they are each entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 2 of the German Value Added Tax Act.  The Seller hereby confirms that it acquired the respective objects of purchase with the intention of
                  long-term letting and that since the acquisition it has either let them or (if vacant) has had the intention of letting them. The Buyer confirms that it intends to continue the Seller's previous letting activities. The Parties therefore
                  assume that the sale transactions that are the Agreement’s object each constitute a case of a sale of a business as a going concern under §1(1a) of the German VAT Act. Accordingly, the sale of the respective objects of purchase is not
                  subject to VAT.

        	5.2	
                Under §1(1a)(3) of the German VAT Act, the Buyer assumes the Seller’s legal position for VAT purposes in relation to the respective object of purchase and, in accordance with §15a(10)(1) of the German VAT Act, it shall continue the
                  input tax adjustment periods of the Seller (and any previous owners) within the framework of a legal succession under VAT law. The Seller undertakes to provide the Buyer with a compilation of the relevant tax-relevant data available to it
                  in this respect no later than three months following the Transfer Date.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	5.3	
                Irrespective of the corresponding assumption of a sale of a business as a going concern within the meaning of § 1(1a) of the German VAT Act, the following applies: In accordance with § 9 of the German VAT Act, the Seller hereby waives
                  the tax exemption under § 4(9)(a) of the German VAT Act and opts for VAT liability with regard to the sale of all objects of purchase (option for 100% VAT liability).

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	5.4	
                If, contrary to the contractual parties’ opinion, the competent tax authorities do not deem the sale of an object of purchase a sale of a business as a going concern but as a transfer of real estate liable to VAT, as the recipient of
                  services under the VAT option in accordance with § 13b(2)(3) in conjunction with (5)(1) of the German VAT Act, the Buyer shall be liable for the VAT incurred as a result of the VAT-liable sale of the objects of purchase. In this case, the
                  Seller undertakes, in accordance with §14a(5) of the German VAT Act, to issue an invoice with the information specified in §14(4) of the German VAT Act, but without a tax statement. The contracting parties hereby clarify that this
                  Agreement does not constitute an invoice within the meaning of §14(1)(1) of the German VAT Act.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	5.5	
                If assets are also transferred on the basis of this Agreement which do not fall within the scope of a sale of a business as a going concern and to which §13b of the German VAT Act is not applicable, the Seller shall be liable for value
                  added tax in accordance with §13a(1)(1) of the German VAT Act. The Buyer shall pay the Seller the VAT amount due in this connection separately (in addition to the part of the purchase price attributable to these assets). A corresponding
                  additional payment of VAT shall fall due for payment within four weeks of the Buyer’s receipt of an invoice in accordance with statutory provisions. The Seller shall issue the Buyer with an invoice in proper form for these other assets in
                  accordance with §§ 14, 14a of the German VAT Act.

    The due date notifications shall be accompanied by uncertified copies of the documents mentioned in sub-clauses 6.1.1 to 6.1.7 where relevant.

                  banking days prior to the last banking day of such month and these have been received by the Buyer. If pre-emptive rights are exercised, the individual objects of purchase for which the due date notification would otherwise have been sent
                  if the pre-emptive right had not been exercised shall continue to be taken into account as due for payment in the above calculation.

              	6.2.3	
                Once the purchase prices for less than six individual objects of purchase are still outstanding, the remaining individual purchase prices shall be due for payment individually on the last banking day of the month for which the
                  officiating notary has sent the due date notification for the respective individual objects of purchase at least ten banking days before the last banking day of such month and these have been received by the Buyer.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	6.3	
                The Buyer is free to effect payment at any time, after receipt of a due date notification according to sub-clause 6.1 even before the due date, with the consequence of the transfer of possession (sub-clause 7.1).

                The officiating notary is furthermore instructed to send a notification on the status of the settlement by email to all contractual parties on the fifth calendar day of each month or, if this is not a bank working day, on the
                  respective following first bank working day, for the first time on 5 March 2020, notifying them of the properties for which the due date requirements have been met. If this is not yet the case, a negative notification shall be sent for
                  each property where necessary.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	6.5	
                When the respective purchase price tranches fall due in accordance with sub-clause 6.2 the respective individual purchase price shall be paid in such a way that the Buyer cancels and discharges liabilities from land charges it has not
                  assumed in respect of the respective individual purchase object directly with respect to the respective charge holder. The Seller shall request the corresponding cancellation approvals or notices of discharge from the charge holders as
                  well as the amounts (“Redemption Amounts") required for the redemption of the real rights in rem not assumed by the Buyer (as well as for the redemption of the claims upon which the real rights in
                  rem are based) and shall forward these to the officiating notary. If the cancellation documents required for the redemption have not been lodged within eight weeks of the date of notarial recording at the latest, the notary is instructed
                  to request the necessary cancellation documents from the charge holders concerned. In the relationship between Buyer and Seller, the redemption amounts stated by the charge holders shall be deemed applicable. Neither the Buyer nor the
                  officiating notary is obliged to verify the correctness of this information. On the due date, the Buyer shall be entitled and obliged to pay the redemption amounts directly to the respective charge
                  holders in fulfilment of any conditions imposed on the officiating notary and on the instruction of the officiating notary. The charge holders are not entitled to any direct right arising from this agreement. The redemption amounts shall
                  be credited against the purchase price.

              

      

    

     

    Other than this, the respective individual purchase price shall be paid into the following account of the Seller:

    The Seller shall be entitled to designate a different bank account to the Buyer or the officiating notary with a notice period of ten bank working days, but by the time of the
      dispatch of the due date notification at the latest. The account last notified by the Seller at the time is decisive for contractually-compliant payment.

        	6.6	
                The Parties agree that the due date notification is a prior event within the meaning of § 286(2)(2) of the German Civil Code; and the Buyer shall therefore be in default if it fails to pay the respective individual purchase price on
                  time without a reminder from the Seller being required. The timeliness of the payment is not determined by the dispatch of the money, but rather by its complete and contractually-compliant receipt and the irrevocable credit in the account
                  of the Seller or the charge-holder. All payments shall be made by the Buyer free of conditions, costs and expenses (in particular without deductions etc.). A deposit shall not be considered as payment. If payments are not made on time,
                  interest shall be charged on the respective amount from the due date at an annual rate of 9 percentage points above the base interest rate. Other rights and claims of the Seller remain unaffected.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	6.7

                Offsetting and the assertion of rights of retention and rights to withhold performance against the purchase price claim is excluded, unless offsetting or rights of retention or rights to withhold performance are based on undisputed or

                  the latter), if necessary on a prorated basis, and, unless otherwise expressly agreed in this Purchase Agreement; these shall be at the Buyer’s expense thereafter (including the Transfer Date). The Seller and the Buyer shall settle
                  accounts with each other on the aforementioned basis, if possible within one month after the respective transfer date, and shall carry out a settlement of payments.

                  authorization and power of attorney. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against any claims of the tenants as a result of the exercise of this authorisation/power of attorney. The notary is authorised and instructed to issue to the
                  Buyer, at its request, extracts from this deed from the respective transfer date only with the power of attorney.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	9.1.5	
                Immediately after the respective transfer date, the Seller and the Buyer shall inform the tenants of the completed sale and the associated change of landlord in a joint letter in accordance with the sample annexed as Appendix 9.1.5 .

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	9.1.6	
                The conclusion of new tenancy agreements and the amendment of existing tenancy agreements, including the cancellation of tenancy agreements, shall henceforth require the Buyer’s prior consent, which the Buyer may only refuse for good
                  cause. The Seller is currently in negotiations with the tenants of the individual objects of purchase 10, 13 and 21 regarding the conclusion of additional tenancy agreements. The details of the content of the negotiations are set out in Appendix 9.1.6. The Seller shall henceforth coordinate closely with the Buyer with regard to the negotiations with the tenants and shall not conclude the contractual supplementary agreements under
                  negotiation without the Buyer’s prior consent. This applies both to any contractual negotiations conducted by the Seller and to any letting activities relating to the individual objects of purchase.

    The Buyer is aware that an extension of the demised premises has been agreed with the tenant of the individual purchase object 13 in
      the tenancy agreement addenda Nos. 4 to 7. Completion and handover of the extended demised premises is still pending and will be carried out by the Seller, if necessary also after the transfer date. The parties will coordinate in confidence in this
      respect. Pending measures shall be completed by the Seller and the essentially faultless handover to the Lessee shall be evidenced by a handover protocol. The Buyer will only object to the conclusion of any agreements necessary in this connection for
      good cause.

                Operating and Ancillary Costs

              

      

    

     

    The following applies with regard to invoicing the tenants for apportionable operating and ancillary costs:

     

    
      
        	

              	9.2.1	
                The settlement for the settlement periods already completed on the respective transfer date is the Seller’s responsibility. The Buyer shall be responsible for settlement for the current settlement period and for subsequent settlement
                  periods. Furthermore, within one month of the respective transfer date, the Seller shall settle with the Buyer the operating and ancillary costs for the current settlement period already paid to it or the performance otherwise provided to
                  it by the tenants for the current settlement period as well as the operating and ancillary costs it has paid for the respective object of purchase for the current settlement period, taking into account the cut-off date-related
                  apportionment in accordance with sub-clause 7.2 . The balance resulting from this settlement shall be settled immediately between the parties.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	9.2.2	
                Regarding any vacancies during the relevant settlement period, it shall be assumed for the preparation of the annual ancillary costs settlement that the Seller is the fictitious tenant of these vacant spaces until the transfer date and
                  the Buyer from the transfer date. If the settlements for the settlement period running on the respective transfer date show credit balances in favour of a tenant as against the individual tenants, the Buyer shall pay these to the
                  respective tenant and shall indemnify the Seller against claims of the tenant based on these credit balances. If the settlements concerning the ongoing settlement period result in additional claims against the tenants, these shall accrue
                  to the Buyer.

                Advance payments of rent and ancillary costs

              

      

    

     

    The Seller shall immediately pay out to the Buyer, on a prorated basis if necessary, any advance payments of rent and ancillary costs of the tenants received by the Seller,
      which relate wholly or partly to the period following the respective transfer date. Conversely, the Buyer shall immediately forward to the Seller, on a prorated basis if necessary, any payments it receives for the period up to the respective transfer
      date.

     

    
      
        	9.4	
                Security deposits

              

      

    

     

    The security deposits paid by the tenants to date are set out in Appendix 9.4 annexed to this deed. The Seller is henceforth no longer entitled to draw upon these security deposits or any other security deposits that may be provided by the tenants up to the transfer date on account of any claims it may have against the tenants.

     

    

    
      Page 18 of 36

      
        

    

     

    The parties are aware that tenants may claim the return of the security deposits from the Seller upon termination of the respective tenancies if the security deposit is not
      returned to the tenants by the Buyer or its legal successor. Against this background, the parties agree that the Seller will request the tenants concerned to submit a written declaration by the respective transfer date in which the respective tenant
      agrees to a transfer of existing security deposits to the Buyer with the effect of discharging the obligation and waives any claim against the Seller for return of the security deposit. If the tenants make a corresponding declaration, the Seller
      shall transfer the corresponding security deposit to the Buyer within four weeks of the respective transfer date. If the tenants have not yet made such a declaration by the transfer date or have refused such consent, the Seller is entitled to return
      the corresponding security deposit to the respective tenant, but only with the express notice that the return does not constitute a waiver of the security deposit.

        	10.1	
                The Buyer shall assume the contracts mentioned Appendix 10.1 to this deed as well as those contracts connected with the management of the
                  respective individual objects of purchase concluded by the Seller or its legal predecessor (collectively referred to as “Property Contracts”) by taking the Seller’s place in these contracts with the
                  effect of releasing the Seller from its obligations on the respective transfer date. The Seller shall only be entitled to any rights and claims arising from these contracts if these relate to the period prior to the respective transfer
                  date and if the Seller needs these to fulfil any claims of the Buyer arising from this contract or in the event of claims by tenants or against tenants due to rights and claims arising from the period up to the transfer date.
                  Correspondingly, any (special) termination rights agreed in the property contracts shall remain in force until such a contract is transferred to the Buyer. The Seller shall only initiate the termination of such a contract in agreement
                  with the Buyer and at the latter’s request.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	10.2	
                The Buyer undertakes to fulfil the obligations arising from the property contracts from the respective transfer date and to indemnify the Seller against all claims of the respective contractual partners of the property contracts.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	10.3	
                Where necessary, the Seller and the Buyer shall coordinate with each other with regard to the assumed property contracts and shall support each other in the transfer of these contracts to the Buyer - especially with respect to the
                  respective contractual partners. The Seller and the Buyer shall act as if the property contracts as a whole had been transferred to the Buyer on the respective transfer date, even in relation to such contracts where the respective
                  contractual party objects to the transfer to the Buyer. If a contractual partner objects to the transfer of the property contract, the Seller shall terminate the contract at the next possible date. Until such time, the parties to the
                  contract shall act in their internal relationship as if the property contract had been transferred to the Buyer.

                ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	11.1	
                With effect from the respective transfer date, the Seller shall assign to the Buyer any claims which may still exist at this point in time and to which it is entitled against third parties in connection with the construction,
                  acquisition, management and operation of the individual objects of purchase and in connection with any renovation or repair measures it carried out due to planning and/or construction defects or in the event of deterioration of the
                  respective individual object of purchase.

              

      

    

     

    
      Page 19 of 36

      
        

    

     

    

    The same shall apply to any claims for damages or compensation, including those arising from a neighbourly community relationship, which relate to the period following the
      respective transfer date and to which the Seller is entitled due to the execution of construction projects or exploitations on neighbouring properties or public roads against neighbours, parties involved in construction, private or public builders or
      other third parties due to damage or other impairments of the respective individual object of purchase. The Buyer accepts these assignments. However, the Seller shall not be liable for the assignability, existence, recoverability and enforceability
      of the aforementioned claims. If the assignment is only possible with the consent of a third party and such consent is refused, the Seller and the Buyer shall, in their internal relationship, act as if the assignment had been effective.

     

    Excluded from this are the claims asserted within the scope of the legal dispute referred to in sub-clause 13.6.4 to which the Seller shall remain entitled until the final
      conclusion of the proceedings there.

     

    
      
        	11.2	
                If the Seller is entitled to proprietary rights of use and modification in connection with the respective individual object of purchase, the Seller shall assign these rights of use and modification with effect from the respective date
                  of transfer to the Buyer, who shall accept these assignments.  However, the Seller shall not be liable for the assignability, existence, recoverability and enforceability of the aforementioned claims.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	11.3	
                If and insofar as the Seller is liable to the Buyer under this contract, the Buyer shall be obliged to reassign the relevant claims to the Seller upon the Seller's written request.

        	12.1	
                The Seller shall only maintain the insurance policies it maintains for the respective individual object of purchase until the respective transfer date. Being aware of the legal provisions regarding assumption of the property insurance
                  policies taken out by the Seller in accordance with §§ 95 ff. of the German Insurance Contract Act, the Buyer hereby waives, also with direct effect with respect to the insurer of the currently existing property insurance policies for the
                  individual properties, the continuation of the insurance contracts maintained for the respective individual purchase object beyond the transfer date; claims for any damage incurred before the respective transfer date shall remain
                  unaffected. The Buyer is hereby informed that it has to provide for its own insurance of the respective individual object of purchase from the respective transfer date. The Buyer is aware of the risks which may arise for it if it does not
                  ensure insurance cover from the time of handover by taking out new insurance policies.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	12.2	
                The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against third party claims arising from the legal concept of property owner’s liability, insofar as these are caused by damage during the period from the respective transfer date until the transfer
                  of ownership in the land register.

        	13.1	
                Unless expressly agreed otherwise in this Purchase Agreement, the respective individual object of purchase is sold in its current, used and age-related condition as is, excluding any liability for legal and material defects. The Seller
                  shall not be liable for matters related to the area, quality, condition, usability or a certain earning capacity of the respective individual object of purchase over and above the Seller's warranties declared in sub-clause 13.6 ff. The
                  parties agree that the risk of future usability, rentability and/or developability of the individual objects of purchase lies solely with the Buyer. Even if the Buyer has disclosed its intentions in this regard to the Seller prior to the
                  Agreement’s conclusion, these intentions shall not form the basis of this Agreement.

        	13.2	
                The Buyer had the opportunity to conduct a technical, economic, tax and legal due diligence inspection in advance. Within the scope of this inspection, the Buyer has inspected the individual objects of purchase, among other things,
                  with the participation of experts or caused such inspections to be undertaken by experts and has had the opportunity to make further enquiries, obtain information and inspect registers on its own initiative. After the conduct of the due
                  diligence, the parties renegotiated and adjusted the total purchase price accordingly.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	13.3	
                The Seller has provided the Buyer with documents and other information about the respective individual objects of purchase in a Drooms GmbH web-based data room (“Data Room”). The data room’s
                  contents are summarized in the data room index annexed as Appendix 13.3a and are deemed known. A data carrier (DVD) containing a complete storage of the data
                  room was handed over to the officiating notary today by the Parties for evidence purposes for safekeeping alongside the deed until 31 December 2024 with the instruction to keep it and to provide each party with a full or partial copy at
                  their written request and at their expense. The notary has advised that he has not checked the data carrier in terms of content nor technically. The Parties hereby release the notary from liability for the data carrier’s correctness in
                  terms of content and/or technical intactness or for its continued intactness for the duration of the deposit. The notary is not liable for any damage to the data carrier, for example caused by its age.

              

      

    

     

    Seller and Buyer agree and clarify that the documents placed in the data room are partly not up-to-date and also incomplete. However, the Buyer and its advisers had sufficient
      opportunity to independently obtain information and documents concerning the individual objects of purchase to the required extent.

     

    The fact that the Seller has made these documents and information available to the Buyer does not constitute a guarantee, quality agreement or assurance. The Seller’s liability
      is based exclusively on this Agreement. The Seller is also not liable for declarations of third parties. However, to the Seller’s knowledge, the documents in the data room are not incorrect in essential points. The questions asked by the Buyer during
      the due diligence phase and the responses received are annexed as Appendix 13.3b.

     

    
      
        	13.4	
                Destruction, damage (“Deterioration”) of the respective individual object of purchase occurring up to the respective transfer date, which is not caused by contractual use, constitutes mere wear
                  and tear or occurs due to age, shall only be remedied by the Seller to the extent that it has caused this intentionally or through gross negligence. Other deterioration are deemed to be contractually-compliant and shall be accepted by the
                  Buyer without adjustment of the respective individual purchase price.

              

      

    

     

    If deterioration occurs up to the transfer date with respect to an individual purchase object, and the elimination of this deterioration is likely to require an amount of more
      than 20% of the individual purchase price to be paid for the individual purchase object concerned, each party is entitled to withdraw from the respective individual Purchase Agreement, but not to withdraw from this Purchase Agreement as a whole. Such
      a withdrawal shall be declared in writing to the other contractual party within two months of the occurrence of the deterioration.

     

    

    
      Page 21 of 36

      
        

    

     

    If the deterioration is based on an insured event, the Seller is authorized, and even obliged in the event of liability on its part, to pay to the Buyer the insurance payout it
      receives instead of the elimination of the deterioration by the Seller.

     

    In the event of withdrawal in accordance with this sub-clause, all the contractual parties’ claims against each other on the grounds of partial non-execution and cancellation
      are excluded, and this contract shall continue to apply unchanged with regard to the other objects of purchase.

     

    
      
        	13.5	
                Subject to the provisions of sub-clause 13.7 ff., the Seller declares to the Buyer in the form of an independent guarantee under  §311 (1) of the German Civil Code (subsequently referred to as “Seller's
                    Warranties") that the declaration in sub-clause 13.6  is correct as at the date of the notarial recording of this Purchase Agreement (subsequently referred to as the “Signature Date”),
                  unless expressly stated otherwise. Declarations of knowledge of the Seller refer in each case to the time two bank working days before today's notarial recording. The Parties agree that the Seller's warranties do not constitute guarantees
                  for the quality of an item within the meaning of §§ 443 of the German Civil Code and do not constitute an agreement on the quality of an item under § 434 (1) of the German Civil Code.

    The Seller gives the following guarantees in the sense of independent guarantee undertakings according to § 311(1) of the German Civil Code:

     

    
      
        	

              	13.6.1	
                As far as the Seller is aware, only the tenancy agreements listed in Appendix 9.1.1 exist with regard to the respective individual object of purchase.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	13.6.2	
                As far as the Seller is aware, none of the tenancy agreements listed in Appendix 9.1.1 have been cancelled or terminated, unless disclosed accordingly.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	13.6.3	
                As far as the Seller is aware, no advance dispositions have been made in respect of tenancy-related claims and claims for advance payment of operating and ancillary costs for the period following the transfer date which will not be
                  cancelled at the time of transfer.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	13.6.4	
                As far as the Seller is aware, no legal disputes concerning the respective individual object of purchase which would affect the Buyer after the transfer date are pending as of this day, unless expressly disclosed. However, the Buyer is
                  aware that the Seller, as claimant, is currently conducting a lawsuit against the architects and general contractors commissioned with the planning and construction of the building on individual object of purchase 2 (Cham) due to defects
                  in the parking area. The lawsuit pending before the Regensburg District Court under reference number 11 O 4/18 will be continued by the Seller and will not be transferred to the Buyer. The Seller intends to conclude this process by means
                  of a settlement which will, among other things, stipulate that the defendants will have to remedy the defects and that the costs incurred will be borne proportionately by the parties to the dispute and, if applicable, by the tenant of the
                  individual object of purchase 2. There is no obligation on the Seller’s part to conclude a settlement. The Buyer will only object to the conclusion of a supplementary agreement with the tenant which may be necessary in this connection for
                  good cause. The Buyer shall grant the Seller or third parties commissioned by the Seller access to the individual object of purchase 2 at any time after prior announcement in order to carry out the work required to eliminate the defect.

                  condition after expiry of this period. The setting of a grace period may be dispensed with if the creation of the contractual condition is not possible or economically unreasonable or is finally refused by the Seller.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	13.7.3	
                If restitution in kind or monetary compensation is not possible or unreasonable for the Seller, the Seller shall compensate the Buyer for the direct loss arising therefrom. Indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit (except loss
                  of rent), internal administrative or fixed costs, and reduced company and property value are not liable to compensation. Any purchase price factors, multipliers or even possible leverage effects shall not be taken into account in the
                  calculation of any losses.

                Limitation of liability

              

      

    

     

    Regarding any claims and rights of the Buyer arising from or in connection with this Purchase Agreement, the following provisions shall apply exclusively - without prejudice to
      sub-clause 13.10:

     

    
      
        	

              	13.8.1	
                Claims and rights of the Buyer under this Purchase Agreement are excluded if and to the extent that the Buyer, its advisers or other third parties commissioned by the Buyer to carry out the inspection had or could have had knowledge of
                  the circumstances, state of affairs or facts giving rise to liability on the Seller’s part. This also includes information or circumstances that have arisen or could have arisen from the property inspections as well as from registers,
                  official documents or enquiries made with authorities. The information and circumstances provided to the Seller by the Buyer shall be deemed known to the Buyer.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	13.8.2	
                Knowledge

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	(a)	
                Insofar as the knowledge of the Seller is relevant in or in connection with this Purchase Agreement, only the positive knowledge of Mr. Julius Falcinelli, who is responsible on the Seller’s side as Senior Manager for the ongoing
                  management of the individual objects of purchase, is relevant.

              	(b)	
                The Seller points out that it has not made any enquiries or further investigations prior to this sale. The Buyer accepts this fact.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	(c)	
                The parties confirm for the avoidance of doubt that the above provisions of this sub-clause section I13.8.2 only concern an attribution of information/knowledge and not the establishment of personal liability of the person referred to
                  in sub-clause 13.8.2(a).

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	13.8.3	
                Any liability of the Seller arising from and in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the legal basis, requires that (i) damage in an individual case amounts to at least 10,000 euro, and (ii) the individual damages to be
                  considered accordingly exceed a total amount of 150,000 euro (“Threshold Value”). In these cases, the Seller shall therefore only be liable if and insofar as the total damage exceeds the threshold
                  value (exemption limit). Furthermore, the damage to be compensated per individual object of purchase, for whatever reason, is limited to a maximum of 10% of the respective individual purchase price.

              

      

    

     

    Excluded herefrom is the claim to the transfer of ownership and tax exemption claims.

     

    
      
        	

              	13.8.4	
                The Parties expressly declare that all claims and rights of the Buyer arising from or in connection with this Purchase Agreement, in particular in the event of a breach of a Seller warranty, are exclusively and conclusively regulated
                  in this Purchase Agreement and all other or further legal claims in this connection for cancellation, withdrawal, reduction, non-performance or for other legal reasons as well as any claims arising from or in connection with
                  pre-contractual obligations under §311 (2) of the German Civil Code , deliberation breach of a contractual duty or due to disruption or frustration of purpose are excluded - subject to the provision of sub-clause 13.10.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	13.9	
                All claims and rights of the Buyer arising from and in connection with this Purchase Agreement, in particular also due to any breach of Seller warranties, are subject to a limitation period of 12 months from the respective transfer
                  date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer's claim for the transfer of ownership shall lapse after three years from the notarial recording of this Purchase Agreement. The prescription period for tax exemption claims shall be in line
                  with § 15.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	13.10	
                All exclusions and limitations of liability contained in this Purchase Agreement shall not apply to liability for losses resulting from death, physical injury or sickness if the Seller is responsible for the breach of duty, for other
                  damages based on an intentional breach of duty by the Seller or on an intentional breach of duty by the Seller's legal representative or vicarious agent and for fraudulently concealed defects.

        	14.2	
                The Seller is not required to procure the freedom of the respective individual purchase object from environmental damage, unless otherwise regulated in this Purchase Agreement. Any liability of the Seller resulting from environmental
                  damage is excluded, subject to the provisions of sub-clause 13.10. The Seller declares that it has not inspected the individual objects of purchase for environmental damage, but that it is otherwise unaware of the existence of such
                  environmental damage, except where documents in this respect have been disclosed in the due diligence process.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	14.3

        	14.4	
                The exclusion of liability under sub-clause 14.2 and the indemnity under sub-clause 14.3 shall also apply for the benefit of such persons or companies who are responsible for the Seller's liability for environmental damage, such that
                  such persons or companies are directly entitled under this provision (genuine contract for the benefit of third parties) within the meaning of §328 (1) of the German Civil Code.

                  Environmental Damage Act, are excluded.

                If input tax adjustments pursuant to §15a of the  German VAT Act are effected within the scope of the legal succession for VAT purposes (see sub-clause 5.2), which are based on changes in the circumstances underlying the original input

        	17.1	
                The Seller undertakes to cooperate in the creation of charges to finance the purchase price (with the exception of the individual purchase object 23) without assuming personal liability or costs if the following security agreements
                  (sub-clauses 17.2 and 17.3) are made at the same time and are reproduced in the deed of charge. However, despite the Seller's cooperation, it is solely the Buyer's responsibility to ensure that any necessary financing is available when
                  the purchase price falls due.

              

      

    

     

    The Seller authorises the Buyer, in each case exempt from the restrictions of § 181 of the German Civil Code, to perform the following legal acts:

     

    Charges over the individual objects of purchase (with the exception of individual object of purchase 23) may be created in favour of a bank in any amount with annual interest
      rates of up to 20% and a one-off ancillary payment in any amount. For this purpose, the Seller hereby consents to and requests the entry of the land charges including submission to enforcement in rem in accordance with § 800 of the German Code of
      Civil Procedure) in the land register and consent to all declarations necessary for obtaining a ranking. The Buyer hereby assumes the personal payment obligations and in this respect submits itself to enforcement. Furthermore, by virtue of the

                The power of attorney shall be limited in the internal relationship to the extent that the Seller does not assume any personal liability to the charge-holder and the charges only serve to secure the payments financed by the
                  charge-holder and actually made to the Seller in accordance with the contractual agreements until payment of the respective individual purchase price. Compliance with this restriction does not have to be proven to the land registry.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	17.3	
                The power of attorney is further limited in that the deed pf charge shall reflect the following terms already hereby agreed by the Seller and the Buyer, and the terms Buyer, Seller and Contract shall be as defined in this Purchase
                  Agreement:

              

      

    

     

    “The Buyer hereby irrevocably instructs the charge-holder to disburse the corresponding loan amounts only in accordance with the provisions of this Purchase
      Agreement for the repayment of the individual purchase price and not to make any other disbursements of any kind or to commit to such disbursements before the disbursement of the individual purchase price.

     

    The charge-holder may only realise or retain the charges as security to the extent that payments with repayment effects on the Buyer’s purchase price debts
      have actually been made. All further declarations of purpose, security and realisation agreements within or outside of this Purchase Agreement or the deed of charge shall only apply after the individual purchase price has been paid in full. From this
      point in time, they shall be deemed the new guarantor for and with respect to the Buyer. If the Seller withdraws from the contract due to default on the Buyer’s part or if the contract is cancelled or not executed for other reasons, the charge-holder
      shall hand over to the notary the formally effective cancellation approval and any charge certificate that may have been issued, solely concurrently against repayment of the purchase price parts paid to the Seller from the secured loan with
      redemption effect without assertion of interest, a discount or other conditions and costs. The charge shall be created in such a way that an assignment or a waiver of the charge is excluded until the transfer of ownership has been registered.

     

    The Seller does not assume any personal payment obligations or other personal debt obligations in connection with the creation of a land charge. The Buyer
      undertakes to indemnify the Seller against all costs and other consequences of the creation of a land charge.

     

    The Buyer shall assume the land charges upon transfer of ownership with continued acquiescence and performance. All ownership rights and claims for
      restitution, which are connected with the requested charges, are hereby transferred to the Buyer with effect from payment of the purchase price. Consent is given to a corresponding entry in the land register."

                The land charge created on the basis of this authorisation to charge may remain in existence even after transfer of ownership. The Seller shall transfer all rights to this land charge to which it is entitled, in particular owner's
                  rights and restitution claims, with effect from payment of the purchase price, in any event from transfer of ownership and shall consent to the corresponding entry in the land register.

                In the event of the exercise of a (statutory or in rem) pre-emptive right to purchase an individual object of purchase, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from this Purchase Agreement in relation to the individual object of
                  purchase affected by the exercise of the pre-emptive right, for which the pre-emptive right is (wholly or partially) exercised. The Buyer also has the right to withdraw from this Purchase Agreement for an individual object of purchase
                  affected by the exercise of the pre-emptive right, provided that this relates to a substantial part (i.e. a part which restricts the usability of the respective individual object of purchase and which restricts the rights of a tenant of
                  the affected individual object of purchase), but not to the entire individual object of purchase.

              	18.2.2	
                In the event of the exercise of a  pre-emptive right (statutory or in rem), the Seller shall assign its claims arising from the contract with the party entitled to pre-emption to the Buyer to the extent that the Buyer has already paid
                  the purchase price for the individual object of purchase concerned. The Buyer hereby accepts the assignment. In such case, the Buyer's rights of withdrawal in relation to those individual objects of purchase for which no pre-emptive right
                  was exercised are excluded.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	18.2.3	
                If a statutory pre-emptive right is only exercised in respect of an insignificant part of an individual object of purchase (i.e. a part which does not restrict the usability of the respective individual object of purchase and which
                  does not trigger any rights of a tenant of the affected individual object of purchase), the Buyer - unless the Seller withdraws from the contract in accordance with sub-clause 18.2.1 - shall continue to remain liable to pay the entire
                  respective individual purchase price in accordance with this contract. In return, the Seller assigns to the Buyer the claims against the party entitled to pre-emption for payment of the individual purchase price or the statutory
                  compensation. Within the scope of the exercise of the pre-emptive right, the Seller shall be released from its performance obligations towards the Buyer; likewise, the due date condition according to sub-clause 6.1.2 (negative clearance
                  certificate/waiver) shall not apply to this part of the individual object of purchase. Further claims, in particular a right of withdrawal and claims for damages or reimbursement of expenses of the Buyer against the Seller, are excluded
                  in such a case.

                If the Buyer is wholly or partly in default of the payment of the individual purchase price for an individual object of purchase for more than ten bank working days and if the Buyer does not effect the purchase price payment within a
                  grace period of at least ten further bank working days to be set by the Seller in writing, the Seller may, at its option, withdraw from this Purchase Agreement in relation to the respective individual object of purchase affected by the

 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO FIVE-YEAR REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO FIVE-YEAR REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated as of March 31, 2020 by and
among BLACKROCK, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Designated Borrowers party hereto (each a “Designated Borrower” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers” and, each a
“Borrower”), the banks and other financial institutions or entities party hereto (the “Lenders”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”). 
 Statement of Purpose 

The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 10, 2011 (as
amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of March 30, 2012, that certain Amendment No. 2 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of March 28, 2013, that certain Amendment
No. 3 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of March 28, 2014, that certain Amendment No. 4 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of April 2, 2015, that certain Amendment No. 5 to Five-Year Revolving
Credit Agreement dated as of April 8, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 6 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of April 6, 2017, that certain Amendment No. 7 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of
April 3, 2018, and that certain Amendment No. 8 to Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019 the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have extended certain credit facilities to the
Borrowers. 
 The Borrowers have requested, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, to amend the Credit Agreement as specifically set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

1.    Capitalized Terms. All capitalized undefined terms used in this Amendment (including, without limitation, in
the introductory paragraph and the Statement of Purpose hereto) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. 

2.    Amendments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto
hereby agree that the Credit Agreement is amended as follows: 
 (a)    The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
replacing references to the phrase “Company Sublimit Notice” with the phrase “Sublimit Notice” in each place it appears in each of Section 1.1, Section 2.1(a),
Section 13.2 and Exhibit L. 
 (b)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Company Sublimit”, “Designated Borrower Sublimit”, “LIBOR”, “Maturity Date” and “Non-Consenting Lender” in their
entirety and replacing them with the following: 
 “ ‘Company Sublimit’ means $3,400,000,000, or such
other amount as the Borrowers have notified the Administrative Agent of by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Sublimit Notice; provided that, in the event there is a Defaulting Lender, the Company Sublimit shall be reduced by such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any 

  
 1 

 
such Defaulting Lender being deemed cured in accordance with Section 4.16(h), by replacement of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 4.14(b) or otherwise, the reduction of the Company Sublimit shall be of no further effect.” 

“ ‘Designated Borrower Sublimit’ means (a) with respect to BlackRock Group Limited, $1,500,000,000,
or such other amount as the Borrowers have notified the Administrative Agent of by delivery of a Sublimit Notice, and (b) with respect to any additional Designated Borrower, (i) at the time such Subsidiary is added as a Designated Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.9, the amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company and (ii) from time to time thereafter, such other amount as the Borrowers have notified the
Administrative Agent of by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Sublimit Notice; provided that, in each case, in the event there is a Defaulting Lender, the Designated Borrower Sublimit shall be reduced by such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment Percentage for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any such Defaulting Lender being deemed cured in accordance with Section 4.16(h), by replacement of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 4.14(b) or otherwise, the reduction of the Designated Borrower Sublimit shall be of no further effect.” 

“ ‘LIBOR’ means, subject to the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with
Section 4.10(c), the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency in minimum amounts of at least $5,000,000 or the applicable Alternative
Currency Amount for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period which appears on the Reuters Page LIBOR01, or its successor page, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable
Interest Period (rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%). If, for any reason, such rate does not appear on Reuters Page LIBOR01, or its successor page, then “LIBOR” shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average
of the rate per annum at which deposits in Dollars in minimum amounts of at least $5,000,000 or the applicable Alternative Currency Amount would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period. Each calculation by the Administrative Agent of LIBOR shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if LIBOR (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement with respect thereto) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for
purposes of this Agreement and (ii) unless otherwise specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 4.10(c), in the event that a Benchmark Replacement with respect to LIBOR is
implemented then all references herein to LIBOR shall be deemed references to such Benchmark Replacement.” 
 “
‘Maturity Date’ means the earliest to occur of (a) March 31, 2025 (as such date may be extended with respect to consenting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10), (b) the date of termination by the
Company pursuant to Section 2.6, or (c) the date of termination pursuant to Section 11.2(a).” 

“ ‘Non-Consenting Lender’ means any Lender that (a) has not
consented to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination of any Loan Document which, pursuant to Section 13.2, requires the consent of such Lender and with respect to which the

  
 2 

 
Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, (b) has objected to an increase or reinstatement of a Designated Borrower Sublimit requested by the Borrowers pursuant to a Sublimit Notice
or (c) constitutes a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to any requested extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.10.” 

For the avoidance of doubt, the amendment of the definition of “Maturity Date” set forth above shall not constitute a utilization of the
Company’s option to request extensions of the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement. 

(c)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by revising the definition of “Japanese Base
Rate” to delete the period at the end of the first sentence and inserting the following in its place: “; provided, that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.”

 (d)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by revising the definition of “LIBOR Market
Index Rate” to delete the period at the end of such definition and inserting the following in its place: “; provided, that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this
Agreement.” 
 (e)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new
definitions in their respective proper alphabetical order: 
 “ ‘Benchmark Replacement’
means, with respect to all Loans denominated in a given currency, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company giving due consideration to (i) any selection or
recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body with respect to such currency or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a
replacement to LIBOR for syndicated credit facilities denominated in such currency and (b) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment for such Benchmark Replacement; provided that, if any Benchmark Replacement as so determined would
be less than zero, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.” 
 “
‘Benchmark Replacement Adjustment’ means, with respect to any replacement of LIBOR with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for each applicable Interest Period, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or
determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment,
or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of LIBOR with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for
determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of LIBOR with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities at such time denominated in the
relevant currency.” 
 “ ‘Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes’ means, with respect to any
Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments
of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides, in consultation with the Company, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration
thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that 

  
 3 

 
adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark
Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides, in consultation with the Company, is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).” 

“ ‘Benchmark Replacement Date’ means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to LIBOR
with respect to a given currency: 
  

	 	(1)	 in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of
(a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of LIBOR permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide LIBOR with respect to such currency; or

  

	 	(2)	 in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the
public statement or publication of information referenced therein.” 

 “ ‘Benchmark
Transition Event’ means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to LIBOR with respect to a given currency: 
  

	 	(1)	 a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of LIBOR announcing that
such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide LIBOR with respect to such currency, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to
provide LIBOR with respect to such currency; 

  

	 	(2)	 a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR,
the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBOR, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBOR or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution
authority over the administrator for LIBOR or any other Relevant Governmental Body, which states that the administrator of LIBOR with respect to such currency has ceased or will cease to provide LIBOR permanently or indefinitely, provided
that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide LIBOR with respect to such currency; or 

  

	 	(3)	 a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR
announcing that LIBOR with respect to such currency is no longer representative.” 

 “
‘Benchmark Transition Start Date’ means (a) in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (ii) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public
statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days
after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication) and (b) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the date specified by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as
applicable, by notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent (in the case of such notice by the Required Lenders) and the Lenders.” 

“ ‘Benchmark Unavailability Period’ means, with respect to all Loans denominated in a given currency, if
a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR and solely to the extent that LIBOR has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement with respect to Loans denominated in such currency,
the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has 

  
 4 

 
replaced LIBOR for all purposes hereunder with respect to Loans denominated in such currency in accordance with this Section and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has
replaced LIBOR for all purposes hereunder with respect to Loans denominated in such currency pursuant to this Section.” 
 “
‘Early Opt-in Election’ means the occurrence of: 
  

	 	(1)	 (i) a determination by the Administrative Agent or (ii) a notification by the Required Lenders to the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Company) that the Required Lenders have determined that syndicated credit facilities denominated in a given currency being executed at such time, or that include language similar to that contained in this
Section are being executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR with respect to such currency, and 

 

	 	(2)	 (i) the election by the Administrative Agent or (ii) the election by the Required Lenders to declare that
an Early Opt-in Election has occurred and the provision, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Company and the Lenders or by the Required Lenders of written
notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.” 

 “ ‘Relevant Governmental
Body’ means, with respect to any given Benchmark Replacement, (a) the central bank for the currency in which such Benchmark Replacement is denominated or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for
supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (b) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (i) the central bank for the currency in which
such Benchmark Replacement is denominated, (ii) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (iii) a group
of those central banks or other supervisors or (iv) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.” 
 “
‘Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement’ means, with respect to a given Benchmark Replacement, such Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment for such Benchmark Replacement.” 

(f)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Replacement
Rate.” 
 (g)    The second proviso to Section 2.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting such proviso in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 
 “provided,
however, that (A) the Company Sublimit and the Designated Borrower Sublimit imposed by this Section shall remain in full force and effect until such time that the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent that such Company Sublimit or
Designated Borrower Sublimit, as applicable, has been modified or terminated (subject to any applicable consent required by clause (C) below) by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Sublimit Notice substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit L (a “Sublimit Notice”), it being understood that any reduction or termination of a Designated Borrower Sublimit with respect to a Designated Borrower shall only be effective if, after giving effect thereto,
the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans payable by, and Letters of Credit issued for the account of, such Designated Borrower shall be less than the Designated Borrower Sublimit applicable to such Designated Borrower after giving
effect to such reduction or termination, (B) in the event the Company Sublimit or a Designated Borrower Sublimit is terminated, such Company Sublimit or Designated Borrower Sublimit, as applicable,

  
 5 

 
may (subject to any applicable consent required by clause (C) below, and so long as such Designated Borrower has not been terminated pursuant to Section 2.9(e)) be
reinstated at any time by the Borrowers by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Sublimit Notice and (C) any increase to, or reinstatement of, any Designated Borrower Sublimit shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that, in the case of any Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent shall, prior to granting such consent, notify the Lenders
providing any portion of the applicable Designated Borrower Sublimit of the request under such Sublimit Notice, and if any such Lender informs the Administrative Agent in writing that any Applicable Law or applicable lending guideline or directive
of, or applicable to, such Lender would result in such Lender not being permitted to provide its portion of the applicable Designated Borrower Sublimit (or increase thereof), then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have a reasonable basis
for withholding consent).” 
 (h)    Section 2.9(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding
“and the Designated Borrower Sublimit applicable thereto” immediately after the phrase “to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which such Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for
purposes hereof” in the third sentence of such section. 
 (i)    Section 4.10(a) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the phrase “Replacement Rate” in the first sentence of such section and replacing it with “Benchmark Replacement.” 

(j)    Section 4.10(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and
replacing it with the following: 
 “(c)    Alternative Rate of Interest. 

(i)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with
respect to any applicable currency with one or more Benchmark Replacements, as applicable (it being understood that all Loans denominated in a given currency for which LIBOR is being replaced shall be subject to the same Benchmark Replacement). Any
such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to
all Lenders and the Company so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No
replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 

(ii)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a
Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Company, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding 

  
 6 

 
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or
consent of any other party to this Agreement. 
 (iii)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and
Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its
related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or
conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or
of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or
their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section. 

(iv)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the
commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans subject to such Benchmark Unavailability Period to be made, converted or continued during any
Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (i) in the case of a request for borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans denominated in Dollars, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a
Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) in the case of a request for borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request
into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. 

(k)    Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting “Replacement Rate” in clause
(vi) and replacing such phrase with “Benchmark Replacement.” 
 (l)    Section 13.2 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended by adding “or (subject to clause (C) of the second proviso of Section 2.1(a)) the Designated Borrower Sublimit” immediately after the phrase “the Company Sublimit” in the
last paragraph of such section. 
 (m)    Schedule 1.1(b) to the Credit Agreement is replaced with a revised
Schedule 1.1(b) attached hereto as Exhibit A to this Amendment, which such Schedule 1.1(b) reflects the Commitments of all the Lenders and the L/C Fronting Commitments of all the Issuing Lenders upon the effectiveness of this
Amendment. 

  
 7 

 (n)    Exhibit J to the Credit Agreement is replaced with a
revised Exhibit J attached hereto as Exhibit B to this Amendment, which such Exhibit J reflects the Form of Designated Borrower Notice. 

(o)    Exhibit L to the Credit Agreement is replaced with a revised Exhibit L attached hereto as Exhibit C
to this Amendment, which such Exhibit L reflects the Form of Sublimit Notice. 
 3.    Commitment
Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, each party hereto agrees (i) that solely with respect to any assignments required or desired to effectuate the purposes set forth in this Amendment, such
assignments shall be deemed to be made in requisite amounts among the Lenders and from each Lender to each other Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by any applicable Assignment and Assumptions under the
Credit Agreement and (ii) to any adjustments to be made to the Register to effectuate such reallocations and assignments. In connection therewith, any reallocation of Commitments among the applicable Lenders resulting from such adjustments, and
any reallocation among the applicable Lenders of outstanding Loans resulting from such adjustments, shall, in each case, occur on the effective date of this Amendment in connection with this Amendment, and the Administrative Agent may make such
adjustments between and among the Lenders in consultation with the Borrowers as are reasonably necessary to effectuate such adjustments, so that the Commitments are as set forth on the revised Schedule 1.1(b) attached hereto as Exhibit
A as of the effectiveness of this Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.10(b) of the Credit Agreement or this Amendment, (i) no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment
and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), (ii) no fees shall be required to be paid to the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignments, and (iii) such
assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption; in each case, without limiting the requirement that each Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee. 

4.    Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date when the Administrative Agent or Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”), as applicable, shall have received (i) counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrowers, the Guarantor and all of the Lenders and (ii) payment of all fees, costs and
expenses set forth in Sections 8(a) and (b) of this Amendment. 
 5.    Limited Effect. Except
as expressly provided herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This Amendment shall not be deemed (a) to be a waiver of, or consent to, or a modification or amendment of,
any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document other than as expressly set forth herein, (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may now have or may have in the future
under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, or (c) to be a
commitment or any other undertaking or expression of any willingness to engage in any further discussion with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person with respect to any other waiver, amendment, modification or any other change to
the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or any rights or remedies arising in favor of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, or any of them, under or with respect to any such documents. References in the Credit Agreement to “this
Agreement” (and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof” or other words of like import) and in any Loan Document to the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to be
references to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
