 CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 

THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (including all exhibits, hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as
of January 26, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) by and among Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Easterly Government Properties, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and USGP II INVESTOR, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Contributor”). 

RECITALS 
 A. The Operating
Partnership desires to consolidate the ownership of the portfolio of properties set forth on Exhibit A-1 (each such property a “Property” and together the “Properties”) through a series of transactions (the
“Formation Transactions”) whereby the Operating Partnership will acquire interests in certain limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities set forth on Exhibit A-2 (collectively, the
“Contributed Entities”). 
 B. The Formation Transactions relate to the proposed initial public offering (the
“Public Offering”) of the common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company, which will operate as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust
(“REIT”) within the meaning of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. 

C. The Contributor owns all of the interests in the Contributed Entities set forth on Exhibit A-2 (each such entity in which the
Contributor owns an interest, a “Partnership,” and collectively, the “Partnerships”), which Partnerships own, directly or indirectly, all of the fee interests in the Properties. As used herein, “Partnership
Agreement” means the respective partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or membership agreement, as applicable, under which each Partnership was formed (including all amendments or restatements). 

D. The Contributor desires to, and the Operating Partnership desires the Contributor to, contribute to the Operating Partnership all of its
right, title and interest in each of the Partnerships, free and clear of all Liens (as defined in Exhibit C) other than the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Exhibit C), including, without limitation, all of its voting rights and
interests in the capital, profits and losses of such Partnerships or any property distributable therefrom, constituting all of its interests in and to such Partnerships (such right, title and interest in and to the Partnerships are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Partnership Interests”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) that are also entitled to the special distribution
provided in Section 5.6 of the OP Agreement (the “Special Distribution”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to be delivered to it. 

E. The Contributor acknowledges that, subject to the terms of Article 5, the Operating Partnership may decide that, rather than
acquiring all of the Partnership Interests, it is more desirable for the Operating Partnership to acquire fee ownership of a particular Property by a direct contribution of such fee interests in all of the Properties from the applicable Partnership
(a “Direct Contribution”), or by a merger of such Partnership or a subsidiary thereof with and into the Company, the Operating Partnership or an affiliate of either of them (a “Merger”), or to divide such
Partnership or a subsidiary thereof into more than one partnership to facilitate the Formation Transactions (a “Division”), and the Contributor desires to give the Operating Partnership the right, in the Operating Partnership’s
sole discretion, to engage in any Direct Contribution, Merger or Division on the terms and conditions described herein without the need to seek any further consent or action of the Contributor, and will give hereby irrevocable consents as set forth
in Section 5.1 hereof. 

  
 1 

 F. As a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Contributor desires to
direct the Operating Partnership to issue certain of the OP Units as set forth on Exhibit D, and for the Company to enter into a registration rights agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”). The Operating Partnership is willing to accommodate the foregoing by issuing such OP Units to the Contributor as set forth on Exhibit D and the Company is willing to accommodate the foregoing
by entering into the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 G. The parties acknowledge that the Operating Partnership’s (i) acquisition
of the Partnership Interests, the Contributed Assets and the Assumed Agreements (each as defined in Section 1.2), and (ii) assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.4 below), is part of the
concurrent consummation of the Formation Transactions and done in connection with the Public Offering. It is understood that the Operating Partnership expects to acquire in the Formation Transactions the additional properties, directly or
indirectly, indicated on Exhibit A-3 hereto, and shall acquire interests in additional properties in the Formation Transactions. 

H. The parties acknowledge that in connection with the Formation Transactions and in consideration of the receipt of the Total Consideration
(as defined in Section 1.7 herein), the Contributor, pursuant to this Agreement, is making certain representations, warranties and covenants to the Operating Partnership and the Company, as more particularly set forth in this Agreement.

 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual undertakings set forth below, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 TERMS OF AGREEMENT 

ARTICLE 1. 
 CONTRIBUTION OF
PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS 
 AND EXCHANGE FOR PARTNERSHIP UNITS 

Section 1.1 Contribution of Partnership Interests. At the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2 herein) and subject to the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Operating Partnership, absolutely and unconditionally, and free and clear of all Liens (other than the Permitted
Encumbrances), all of its right, title and interest to the Partnership Interests, including all of the Contributor’s rights and interests to the Partnerships and all rights to indemnification in favor of the Contributor under the agreements
pursuant to which the Contributor or its affiliates acquired the Partnership Interests transferred pursuant to this Agreement, if any. The contribution of the Partnership Interests shall be evidenced by a Contribution and Assumption Agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Contribution and Assumption Agreement”). The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be reasonably requested by the
Operating Partnership in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. The Operating Partnership agrees to promptly provide the Contributor with a copy of any proposed changes to the form of Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Operating Partnership which is attached hereto as Appendix D (the “OP Agreement”). Additionally, the Contributor, the Operating Partnership and the Company agree that, from and after the Closing, the
Contributor shall no longer be a member, manager, or partner of any Partnership, and after the Closing shall have no obligations or responsibilities under any Partnership Agreement. 

Section 1.2 Contribution of Properties and Other Assets. At the Closing (as hereinafter defined) and subject to the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.1), the Contributor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver (or cause the 

  
 2 

 
Partnership that directly owns the fee interest in the Property to be contributed by Direct Contribution to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver, as applicable) to the Operating
Partnership, and the Operating Partnership shall acquire and accept, (i) all of the Contributor’s right, title and interest in and to the Partnership Interests, including all of the Contributor’s rights and interests to the
Partnerships and all rights to indemnification in favor of the Contributor under the agreements pursuant to which the Contributor or its affiliates acquired the Partnership Interests transferred pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and (ii) all
right, title and interest held directly or indirectly by the Contributor, if any, in (a) the Properties, (b) all “Fixtures and Personal Property” (defined as all fixtures, furniture, furnishings, apparatus and fittings,
equipment, machinery, appliances, building supplies, tools, and other items of personal property used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Properties; excluding, however, all fixtures, furniture, furnishings, apparatus and
fittings, equipment, machinery, appliances, building supplies, tools, and other items of personal property owned by tenants, subtenants, guests, invitees, employees, easement holders, service contractors and other Persons who own any such property
located on the Properties) related to such Properties, if any, (c) all intangible personal property now or hereafter used in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management or occupancy of such Properties, if any (the
“Intangible Property,” and together with the Properties, the Fixtures and Personal Property, the “Contributed Assets”), and (d) all agreements and arrangements related to such Properties, if any, to which the
Contributor is a party, directly or indirectly, including without limitation, (1) all leases, licenses, tenancies, possession agreements and occupancy agreements with tenants of such Properties (“Leases”), if any, (2) all
service, equipment, franchise, operating, management, parking, supply, utility and maintenance agreements relating to any such Properties (“Service Contracts”), if any, and (3) those certain agreements listed on Schedule
1.2 (including without limitation, all Leases and Service Contracts listed on Schedule 1.2) (all such agreements and arrangements, collectively, the “Assumed Agreements”), and in each case, free and clear of any and all
Liens, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Exhibit C). The contribution of the Contributed Assets and the Assumed Agreements, if any, and the assumption of all obligations thereunder, shall be evidenced by the
Contribution and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Contribution and Assumption Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that all
agreements and arrangements related to such Properties, if any, which are not Assumed Agreements shall not be contributed, transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered to the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, and the Operating
Partnership shall not have any rights or obligations with respect thereto. The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be required by each relevant Partnership Agreement and the OP Agreement, or as
reasonably requested by the Operating Partnership in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. The Operating Partnership agrees to promptly provide the Contributor with a copy of any proposed changes to the OP Agreement from the form
attached hereto as Appendix D. Additionally, the Contributor, the Operating Partnership and the Company agree that, from and after the Closing, the Contributor shall no longer be a Member or, if applicable, a Managing Member of any
Partnership, and after the Closing shall have no obligations or responsibilities as a Member or Managing Member, as applicable, under any Partnership Agreement. 

Section 1.3 Intentionally Omitted. 

Section 1.4 Assumed Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the
Operating Partnership shall assume from the Contributor (or acquire the Properties subject to) and thereafter pay, perform or discharge in accordance with their terms only the liabilities of the Contributor listed on Schedule 1.4, if any (the
“Assumed Liabilities”). 
 Section 1.5 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
expressly acknowledge and agree that the Operating Partnership shall not assume or agree to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Excluded Liabilities (as defined in Exhibit C) other than the Assumed Liabilities, and such Excluded
Liabilities shall not be contributed, transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered to the 

  
 3 

 
Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, and the Operating Partnership shall not have any rights or obligations with respect thereto. 

Section 1.6 Existing Loans. 

(a) Each Property is encumbered with certain financing as set forth on Schedule 1.6 (each an “Existing Loan” and
collectively the “Existing Loans”). Such notes, loan agreements, deeds of trust and all other documents or instruments evidencing or securing such Existing Loans, including any financing statements, and any amendments, modifications
and assignments of the foregoing, shall be referred to, collectively, as the “Existing Loan Documents.” Each Existing Loan shall be considered a “Permitted Encumbrance” for purposes of this Agreement. The Operating
Partnership shall assume the Existing Loans encumbering the real properties located in Charleston, South Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida (together, the “Assumed Loan”), provided that the Operating Partnership shall have obtained any
necessary consents from the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust related to such Existing Loans prior to Closing, and as to the other Existing Loans at its election shall either (i) assume the Existing Loan at the Closing, provided that the
Operating Partnership shall have obtained any necessary consents from the holder of each mortgage or deed of trust related to such Existing Loan (in each case, a “Lender” and, collectively with the lenders under the Assumed Loan,
the “Lenders”) prior to Closing, and consummate the Formation Transactions subject to the lien of the applicable Existing Loan Documents or (ii) otherwise cause the Existing Loan to be refinanced or repaid in connection with
the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of the Assumed Loan or if the Operating Partnership elects to proceed under clauses (i) of this sentence with respect to an Existing Loan, the Operating Partnership may nonetheless, at its
sole discretion, thereafter cause such Existing Loan to be refinanced or repaid after the Closing. From and after the Effective Date, the Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to, confidentially
or otherwise, facilitate, within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date, the consent of the Lenders to the Operating Partnership’s assumption of the Assumed Loan and those Existing Loans which the Operating Partnership elects to assume at
the Closing, and all other Approvals (as hereinafter defined). The Contributor hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts along with the Operating Partnership in seeking to obtain approval of the assumption of the Assumed Loan and any
Existing Loan which the Operating Partnership elects to assume or in beginning the process for any refinancing or a payoff of an Existing Loan (such as, without limitation, requesting a payoff statement from the holder(s) of such Existing Loan), as
applicable; provided, however, that the Contributor shall not be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket costs or other material costs in performing such obligations. In addition, at or before the Closing, the Operating Partnership and the Contributor
shall have caused, as a condition to the right of the Operating Partnership to assume an Existing Loan, the Lender related to such Existing Loan which the Operating Partnership intends to assume in connection with the Closing to have released the
Contributor and its affiliates from any liability pursuant to any recourse obligations, guarantees, indemnification agreements, letters of credit posted as security or other similar obligations. 

(b) In connection with the assumption of an Existing Loan at the Closing or refinancing or payoff of an Existing Loan at the Closing, as
applicable, the Operating Partnership shall bear and be responsible for any title costs, assumption fee, prepayment premium or defeasance cost assessed by the applicable Lender and associated with such assumption, refinancing or payoff prior to
maturity, as applicable, and any other reasonable fee, charge, legal fees, cost or expense incurred by or on behalf of the Contributor in connection therewith (collectively, “Existing Loan Fees”), and subject to Section 3.5,
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Contributor and its affiliates from and against any liability under the Existing Loans arising from and after the Closing (including by reason of the failure to have obtained any necessary consents from
each applicable Lender prior to Closing) and any Existing Loan Fees. Any Existing Loan Fees 

  
 4 

 
associated with an Existing Loan shall be calculated solely with respect to such Existing Loan and shall not be aggregated or combined with any Existing Loan Fees associated with any other
Existing Loan. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Operating Partnership from reducing or increasing the indebtedness secured by the Properties below or above the amount outstanding on the Existing Loans in connection with any
refinancing which may occur concurrently with or after Closing. The indemnity set forth in this Section 1.6(a) shall survive Closing. 

Section 1.7 Consideration and Exchange of Equity. The Operating Partnership shall, in exchange for the Properties (or, if
applicable, the Partnership Interests), the Contributed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Assumed Agreements, transfer to the Contributor the number of OP Units which such OP Units shall, in addition to all the other rights of an OP Unit, be
entitled to the Special Distribution, as determined on, and allocated among such persons or entities as set forth in, Exhibit D (each such amount being such person’s or entity’s “Total Consideration”). The OP
Units issued to the Contributor shall be evidenced by certificates relating to such OP Units (the “OP Unit Certificates”). The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be required
by the relevant Partnership Agreements, the OP Agreement and/or the organizational documents of the Company in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 1.8 Tax Treatment. 

(a) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, any transfer, assignment and exchange by the Contributor effectuated pursuant to this Agreement
shall constitute a “Capital Contribution” by the Contributor to the Operating Partnership pursuant to Article 4 of the OP Agreement and is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of the Code. The Contributor’s right to the
Special Distribution in respect of its OP Units is intended to qualify for the exception from disguised sale treatment under Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(d). All parties shall file all tax returns, reports and information statements,
and shall take all tax positions consistent with the foregoing. 
 (b) The Contributor (including any transferor in connection with a Direct
Contribution, if any, as provided hereunder) and the Operating Partnership agree to the intended Tax treatment described in this Section 1.8, and the Operating Partnership and the Contributor shall file their respective Tax Returns consistent
with the above-described transaction structures, unless otherwise required by applicable law. 
 Section 1.9 Allocation of
Total Consideration. The Total Consideration shall be allocated among the Properties as agreed to by the parties to this Agreement. The Operating Partnership and the Contributor agree to (i) be bound by the allocation, (ii) act in
accordance with the allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all tax returns and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto and (iii) take no position and cause their affiliates that
they control to take no position inconsistent with the allocation for income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law. 

Section 1.10 Term of Agreement. If the Closing does not occur by September 30, 2015 (the “Termination
Date”), this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and shall be of no further force and effect and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Contributor shall have any further obligations hereunder except as specifically set forth herein.

each Property, and being deemed to be obligated to pay all operating expenses of each Property (but specifically excluding any Excluded Liabilities which shall remain the responsibility of the Contributor), with respect to such day, and the
Contributor being deemed to be entitled to all revenue of each Property, and being deemed to be obligated to pay all operating expenses of each Property, prior to such day; provided, that such revenue and expenses attributable to the

to each Property, such prorated items shall include the following: 
 (i) All rents and any other income with respect to such Property

(ii) Taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) levied against such Property (it being
understood that if any Taxes or assessments relating to the Property are payable in installments, then the installment for the period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated, with the Operating Partnership responsible for the payment of any
amounts attributable to the period on and after the Closing and the Contributor responsible for the payment of amounts attributable to the period prior to the Closing); 

(iii) Utility charges for which the applicable Partnership is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned as of the Determination
Date on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to the Determination Date (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Determination Date) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility;

 11 

 (b) Specific Calculation of Prorations and Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything contained
in Section 2.6(a) above, with respect to each Property, the following shall apply: 
 (i) With respect to any refundable
cash security deposits, letters of credit or other credit enhancements held by or for the benefit of the applicable Partnership or the Contributor under any applicable Assumed Agreements and Existing Loans which are assumed by the Operating
Partnership (collectively, the “Security Deposits”) for such Property, the Contributor shall, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either cause to be delivered to the Operating Partnership any such refundable cash Security
Deposits (not including interest accounts, impound accounts, escrow accounts and other reserves maintained pursuant to any Existing Loan for such Property, which shall be addressed in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(vi) above) or credit to the
account of the Operating Partnership the total amount of such refundable cash Security Deposits (in each case, to the extent such refundable cash Security Deposits have not been applied against delinquent rents or other obligations as provided in
the Assumed Agreements and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) against the Contributor’s Total Consideration. To the extent required, (A) to the extent transferrable, all non-cash Security Deposits shall be transferred to the
Operating Partnership by appropriate transfer documentation; and (B) if not transferable, the Contributor shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the applicable Partnership to) request the party obligated under the applicable non-cash Security
Deposit (e.g., the tenant, if the Assumed Agreement is a lease for which the tenant has delivered a letter of credit to the applicable Partnership) to replace the same so that it inures in favor of the Operating Partnership, and, in the event any
such replacement non-cash Security Deposit is not delivered to the Operating Partnership by Closing, the Operating Partnership shall diligently pursue such replacement after Closing and the Contributor shall take all reasonable action, as directed
by the Operating Partnership, in connection with the liquidation of any such non-cash Security Deposits for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable Assumed Agreement. The Operating Partnership shall pay all fees and charges, if any,
in connection with the Contributor’s compliance with the immediately preceding sentence. Additionally, the Operating Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold the Contributor harmless from any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense arising
out of any such action taken by the Contributor at the direction of the Operating Partnership in connection with the liquidation of any such non-cash Security Deposits for which a replacement has not been delivered to the Operating Partnership at or
prior to Closing, and such indemnification shall survive the Closing. From and after the Determination Date, the Contributor shall not permit the application of any Security Deposits against any delinquent rents or other obligations under the
Assumed Agreements without the approval of the Operating Partnership, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; 
 (ii) The
Contributor shall cause all delinquent real estate Taxes and assessments with respect to such Property to be paid at or before the Determination Date, together with any interest, penalties or other fees related to any delinquent Taxes. In
determining prorations relating to non-delinquent taxes, the Operating Partnership shall be credited with an amount equal to the real estate taxes and assessments for such Property applicable to the period prior to the Determination Date against the
Contributor’s Total Consideration, to the extent such amount has not been actually paid prior to the Determination Date. In the event that any real estate taxes or assessments related to such Property applicable to the period after the
Determination Date have been paid prior to the Determination Date, the Contributor shall be entitled to a credit for such amount. In connection with the re-proration of real estate taxes and assessments for which a credit was given or a proration
was made on the Determination Date, the applicable parties shall adjust the differences between them promptly upon demand being made therefor by either the Contributor or the Operating Partnership. If, after the Determination Date, any additional
real estate taxes or assessments applicable to the period prior to the Determination Date are levied for any reason, including back assessments or escape assessments, then the Contributor shall pay all such additional amounts. If, after the
Determination Date, the Contributor or the Operating Partnership receives any property tax refunds regarding such Property relating to a period prior to the 

  
 12 

 
Determination Date, then that portion of the refunds related to a period prior to the Determination Date that is required to be refunded to any tenant of such Property shall be delivered to or
retained by, as the case may be, the Operating Partnership for the purpose of making such refund payments with the remaining portion of such refunds retained by or delivered to, as the case may be, the Contributor. The Operating Partnership shall
pay all supplemental Taxes resulting from the change in ownership and reassessment occurring as the result of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement; 

(iii) Prior to the Closing, the Contributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute and pursue through completion each
real property tax assessment appeal for any Property that is pending as of the Effective Date (an “Existing Appeal”); provided that no such Existing Appeal shall be settled or concluded by the Contributor without the prior written
consent of the Operating Partnership, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Following the Closing, the Contributor may not prosecute any Existing Appeal or any other appeal of the real property tax assessment for any Property for and Tax year,
but the Contributor shall reasonably cooperate with the Operating Partnership in connection with each such appeal and the collection of any related award or refund (provided that the Contributor shall not be obligated to incur any material
out-of-pocket costs or other material costs in doing so). Any award, refund or other amounts payable in connection with any such appeal shall be paid directly to the Operating Partnership by the applicable authorities, and shall be distributed as
follows: first, to reimburse the Operating Partnership for its actual costs incurred in connection with the appeal; and second, the balance shall be prorated and otherwise handled in accordance with Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(b)(ii) above; 

(iv) Charges referred to in Section 2.6(a)(iii) which are payable by any tenant of such Property directly to a third party
shall not be apportioned hereunder, and the Operating Partnership shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and the Operating Partnership shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of such charges; 

(v) The Operating Partnership shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities with respect to such Property
to the name of the Operating Partnership as of Determination Date, where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies, and shall provide the Contributor with written evidence of the transfer at or prior to the Determination Date. The
Contributor shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Determination Date; 
 (vi) All
rents and other income which are allocable to the period from and after the Determination Date shall be apportioned to the Operating Partnership as and when collected. Any rent or other income from a tenant at a Property which, as of the Closing, is
unpaid or delinquent with reference to the Determination Date shall not be prorated at the Closing, and any such rent or other income collected by Contributor or the Operating Partnership after the Determination Date shall be delivered as follows:
(a) if the Contributor collects any such unpaid or delinquent rent or other income from a Property which pertains to the period prior to the Determination Date, the Contributor shall retain such rents, (b) if the Operating Partnership
collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from a Property which pertains to periods prior to the Determination Date, the Operating Partnership shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to the Contributor any such rent
which the Contributor is entitled to hereunder relating to any period prior to the Determination Date, (c) if the Contributor received any rent after the Determination Date which is not applicable to a period prior to the Determination Date,
all such amounts shall be immediately paid over to the Operating Partnership and applied by the Operating Partnership as provided in this Section 2.6(b)(vi) below, and the Contributor shall, if the Operating Partnership requires and such notice
is permitted under the terms of the Leases, send notice to tenants directing that rent be paid to an address or bank account controlled by the Operating Partnership. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership agree that all rent received by the
Operating Partnership or the Contributor from and after the Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rent, if any, and then to current rent, in the order of maturity (i.e., first to the longest outstanding accrued unpaid obligation). In the
event 

  
 13 

 
there shall be any rents or other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior to the Determination Date, do not become due and payable until after the Closing or are paid
prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after the Closing (such as rent from a government entity, which is paid in arrears, and year end common area expense reimbursements), then any rents or charges of such type received by the Operating
Partnership or its agents or the Contributor or its agents subsequent to the Closing shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between the Contributor and the Operating Partnership as of the Determination
Date and the Contributor’s portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to the Contributor by the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that with respect to any lump sum payment to be paid after the Determination Date that specifically
relates to actions performed by the Contributor (directly or indirectly through a Partnership) prior to Closing (e.g., payments on account of tenant improvements, build-outs, change orders and the like), the Operating Partnership shall
deliver such lump sum payments to the Contributor within fifteen (15) days after receipt hereof. The Operating Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to collect all rents (including Additional Rent and any such
delinquent rents) in the usual course of the Operating Partnership’s operation of the Properties. The Operating Partnership may not waive any rents (including Additional Rent or delinquent rent) nor modify any Lease so as to reduce or otherwise
affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which the Contributor is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining the Contributor’s written consent. From and after the Determination Date, the Contributor may
not pursue any action to collect any rents (including Additional Rent) due for periods prior to the Determination Date from any current tenant of a Property; provided, that with respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts (including Additional
Rent) or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of a Property as of the Determination Date, the Contributor shall retain all rights relating thereto and shall not be restricted hereby. For avoidance of doubt, the
foregoing shall not restrict the Contributor’s pursuit of claims against tenants who are no longer tenants of a Property as of the Determination Date; 

(vii) With respect to any year-end reconciliations of Additional Rent (if applicable) under the Leases for such Property, the
Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall cooperate to complete such reconciliations as soon as possible after the Determination Date in accordance with time periods set forth in such Leases, with the Contributor being deemed to be responsible
for all amounts owing to the tenants under the Leases and being deemed to be entitled to all amounts payable by tenants under the Leases with respect to periods prior to the Determination Date, and with the Operating Partnership being deemed to be
responsible for amounts owing to tenants under the Leases and being deemed to be entitled to amounts payable by tenants under the Leases with respect to periods from and after the Determination Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing reconciliation shall be made such that such reimbursements are allocated to the period in which such reimbursable expenses were incurred; 

(viii) With respect to such Property (and subject to the terms set forth in this Section 2.6(b)(viii) below), the Contributor shall
be responsible for any and all (a) Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined), and (b) expenses connected with or arising out of the negotiation, execution and delivery of any Leases executed or signed prior to the Effective Date for
such Property, including all Leasing Commissions (as hereinafter defined) related thereto and any legal fees or costs in connection therewith. The term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any payments required under a Lease to be
paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and/or moving, design,
refurbishment and other allowances. The term “Leasing Commissions” means any leasing or brokerage commissions payable to a leasing agent or broker and connected with or arising out of the negotiation, execution and delivery of a
Lease. 

  
 14 

 (c) Prorations Not Able to be Calculated on the Determination Date. Except as otherwise
provided herein, any revenue or expense amount with respect to any Property which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Determination Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be
the subject of a final proration as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, the parties shall prepare and execute a final proration statement, which such statement shall
be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final. 
 (d) Adjustments for Existing Loans. To the extent that, on the Determination
Date, the Operating Partnership’s good faith determination of the principal amount of any Existing Loan to be outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Property is greater than or less than the principal amount set
forth on Schedule 1.6 for such Property, then (i) if such amount is greater than the applicable amount set forth on Schedule 1.6, the Operating Partnership shall be credited with an amount equal to the increase in such outstanding
principal balance against the Contributor’s Total Consideration, and (ii) if such amount is less than the applicable amount set forth on Schedule 1.6, the Contributor shall receive a credit to the Contributor’s Total
Consideration in an amount equal to the decrease in such outstanding principal balance, in either case in the manner described in Section 2.6(e) below. 

(e) Credits and Charges for Prorations and Adjustments. The net credit to or charge against the Contributor on account of the
prorations and adjustments to be made at Closing (based on prorations determined as of the Determination Date) or thereafter, as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be paid by either the Operating Partnership or the
Contributor, as applicable, in cash promptly following the determination of such amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6. 

(f) Determination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall mean the Closing Date.

 (i) No Broker. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(i), neither Company
nor any of its officers, directors or employees, to the extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of the Contributor or of its affiliates

Except as set forth in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.2, neither the Operating Partnership nor the Company makes any representation

 18 

 
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, in all cases except to the extent any such claims or Losses result from or relate to any information provided in writing to the Company or the Operating Partnership by the Contributor for inclusion in such registration
statement, Prospectus or Prospectus supplement.

 (c) Prior to Closing, the Contributor shall cooperate with the Operating Partnership and use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the execution by the General Services Administration (“GSA”) of any required Novation Agreement in a form typical or required for a GSA Lease by and among GSA, the Contributor (or applicable Partnership)
and the Operating Partnership for each GSA Lease (a “Novation Agreement”). Promptly after Closing, for each of the GSA Leases and to the extent Novation Agreements were not obtained as of Closing, Contributor shall cooperate with
the Operating Partnership to obtain the execution by GSA of any required Novation Agreement. 
 (d) The provisions of this
Section 4.1 shall survive Closing. 
 Section 4.2 Tax Covenants. 

(a) The Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall provide each other with such cooperation and information relating to any of the
Partnership Interests or the Properties as the parties reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, (ii) determining any liability for Taxes or a right to a Tax refund,
(iii) conducting or defending any proceeding in respect of Taxes, or (iv) performing Tax diligence, including with respect to the impact of this transaction on the Company’s Tax status as a REIT. Such reasonable cooperation shall
include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Operating Partnership shall promptly notify the Contributor upon receipt by the Operating
Partnership or any of its affiliates of notice of (i) any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments with respect to the income, properties or operations of any of the Partnerships or with respect to any Property and (ii) any pending
or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments of the Operating Partnership or any of its affiliates, in each case which may affect the liabilities for Taxes of the Contributor (or its owners) with respect to any tax period
ending before or as a result of the Closing. The Contributor shall promptly notify the Operating Partnership in writing upon receipt by the Contributor or any of its affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or non-U.S.
Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of any of the Partnerships or with respect to any Property that may impact or otherwise effect the liability for Taxes of the Operating Partnership other than as a result of
the Closing. Subject to Section 2.6(b)(iii), 

  
 20 

 
each of the Operating Partnership and the Contributor may participate at its own expense in the prosecution of any claim or audit with respect to Taxes attributable to any taxable period ending
on or before the Closing Date, provided, that the Contributor shall have the right to control the conduct of any such audit or proceeding or portion thereof for which the Contributor (or its owners) has acknowledged liability (except as a
partner of the Operating Partnership) for the payment of any additional Tax liability, and the Operating Partnership shall have the right to control any other audits and proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Operating Partnership
nor the Contributor may settle or otherwise resolve any such claim, suit or proceeding which could have an adverse Tax effect on the other party or its affiliates (other than on the Contributor or any of its affiliates as a partner of the Operating
Partnership) without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers with respect to the Partnerships and the
Properties, and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which such Tax Returns and other
documents relate and until the final determination of any Tax in respect of such years. 
 (b) The Operating Partnership shall prepare or
cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Partnerships or their subsidiaries which are due after the Closing Date. To the extent such returns relate to a period prior to or ending on the Closing Date, such Tax Returns
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amended tax returns) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable law. To the extent such Tax Returns relate to income taxes attributable to a
period prior to or ending on the Closing Date, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such returns, the Operating Partnership shall deliver such income Tax Returns to the Contributor for its
review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld. The Operating Partnership shall consider in good faith any comments from the Contributor. General and special real estate taxes and assessments for all tax years
(or any portion thereof) prior to the Closing shall be paid by Contributor, including, without limitation, all supplemental taxes. 
 (c)
With respect to any Tax Return relating to Taxes attributable to a period prior to or ending on the Closing Date, including the portion of any Straddle Period (as defined below) ending on the Closing Date, the Contributor shall remit to the
Operating Partnership an amount equal to the tax liability due with respect to such Taxes. For any taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of Taxes allocable to the
portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be: (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of
such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date
and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in the preceding clause (i) (such as franchise taxes and Taxes that are based upon or related to
income or receipts, or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for
purposes hereof, the tax years of any partnership or pass-through entity in which the applicable Person owns a direct or indirect interest shall be deemed to close as of such date). 

(d) The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall survive Closing. 

Section 4.3 Ownership Limit Waivers. The Contributor is aware that the Company intends to grant a waiver of the Ownership
Limit (as such term is defined in the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company, the form of which is attached hereto as Appendix B (the “Articles of 

  
 21 

 
Amendment and Restatement”)) to one or more parties (the “Shareholders”) who expect to acquire Common Stock or OP Units that may subsequently be converted to
Common Stock. 
 ARTICLE 5. 

WAIVERS AND CONSENTS 
 Each of the
releases and waivers enumerated in this Article 5 shall become effective only upon the Closing of the contribution and exchange of the Partnership Interests pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 herein. 

Section 5.1 Waiver of Rights Under Partnership Agreements; Consents With Respect to Partnership Interests. 

(a) As of the Closing, the Contributor waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits otherwise afforded to the Contributor under any
Partnership Agreement including, without limitation, any rights of appraisal, rights of first offer or first refusal, buy/sell agreements, and any right to consent to or approve of the sale or contribution by the other partners or members of each
Partnership of their Partnership Interests to the Operating Partnership, the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof and any and all notice provisions related thereto. The Contributor acknowledges that the agreements contained herein
and the transactions contemplated hereby and any actions taken in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby may conflict with, and may not have been contemplated by, certain Partnership Agreements or other agreements among one or more
holders of such Partnership Interests or one or more of the partners of any such Partnership. With respect to each Partnership and each Property in which the Partnership Interests represent a direct or indirect interest, the Contributor expressly
gives all Consents (and any consents necessary to authorize the proper parties in interest to give all Consents) and Waivers it is entitled to give that are necessary or desirable to (i) facilitate any Conveyance Action (as hereinafter defined)
relating to such Partnership or Property, (ii) cause the Partnership to have authority to transfer the Partnership Interests or Properties to the Operating Partnership, and (iii) receive OP Units directly from the Partnership if the
Partnership or one or more of the Partnership’s subsidiaries transfers assets or interests directly to the Operating Partnership (rather than the Contributor contributing its or his Partnership Interests hereunder) and to reduce the
consideration otherwise payable by the Operating Partnership hereunder as a result of such direct transfer by the Partnership or its subsidiaries on account of the Contributor receiving any amount reduced hereunder from such Partnership or its
subsidiaries making such direct transfer. In addition, if the transactions contemplated hereby occur, this Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to any Partnership Agreement to the extent the terms herein conflict with the terms thereof,
including without limitation, terms with respect to allocations, distributions and the like. In the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not occur, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be or construed as an amendment or
modification of, or commitment of any kind to amend or modify, the Partnership Agreements, which shall remain in full force and effect without modification. 

(b) As used herein, the term “Conveyance Action” means, with respect to any Partnership having a direct or indirect ownership
interest in any Property, (i) the transfer, conveyance or agreement to convey by a partner thereof or by any holder of an indirect interest therein (whether or not such partner or holder is the Contributor hereunder) directly, by Direct
Contribution or otherwise of its direct or indirect interest in such Partnership or Property to the Operating Partnership or the Company at Closing, if elected by the Operating Partnership, or (ii) the entering into by any such partner or
holder any agreement relating to (x) the formation of the Operating Partnership or the Company, or (y) the direct or indirect acquisition by the Operating Partnership or the Company of any such direct or indirect interest by any means
permitted hereunder (including, without limitation, by Direct Contribution or by merger) or (iii) the taking by any such partner or holder of any action necessary or desirable to facilitate any of the

  
 22 

 
foregoing, including, without limitation, the following (provided that the same are taken in furtherance of the foregoing): any sale or distribution to any Person of a direct or indirect
interest in such Partnership or Property, the entering into any agreement with any Person that grants to such Person the right to purchase a direct or indirect interest in such Partnership or Property, and the giving of the Consents and Waivers
contained in this Section or consents or waivers similar thereto in form or purpose; provided, however, that any change in the structure of the Conveyance Action shall not materially and adversely affect the Contributor in any way, including,
without limitation, by impacting the tax treatment to the Contributor, without the prior written consent of the Contributor which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. 

(c) As used herein, the term “Consents” means, with respect to any such Partnership or Property, any consent necessary or
desirable under any Partnership Agreement or any other agreement among all or any of the holders of interests therein or any other agreement relating thereto or referred to therein (i) to cause the Partnership to have authority to permit any
and all Conveyance Actions relating to such Partnership or Property or to amend any such Partnership Agreement and/or other agreements so that no provision thereof prohibits, restricts, impairs or interferes with any Conveyance Action (such
amendments to include, without limitation, the deletion of provisions which cause a default under such agreement if interests therein are transferred for cash), (ii) to admit the Operating Partnership as a substitute member or partner of such
Partnership upon the Operating Partnership’s acquisition of the Partnership Interests therein, respectively, and to adopt such amendment as is necessary or desirable to effect such admission, (iii) to adopt any amendment to the applicable
Partnership Agreement as may be reasonably be deemed desirable by the Operating Partnership, either simultaneously with or immediately prior to the acquisition of any interest therein, and (iv) to continue such Partnership following the
transfer of interest therein to the Operating Partnership. 
 (d) As used herein, the term “Waivers” means, with respect to
a Partnership or a Property in which the Partnership Interests represent a direct or indirect interest, the waiving of any and all rights that the Contributor may have with respect to, and (to the extent controlled by the Contributor) that any such
other Person may have with respect to, or that may accrue to the Contributor or such other controlled Person upon the occurrence of, a Conveyance Action relating to such Partnership or Property, including, but not limited to, the following rights:
rights of notice, rights to response periods, rights to purchase the direct or indirect interests of another partner in such Partnership or Property or to sell the Contributor’s or other Person’s direct or indirect interest therein to
another partner, rights to sell the Contributor’s or other Person’s direct or indirect interest therein at a price other than as provided herein, or rights to prohibit, limit, invalidate, otherwise restrict or impair any such Conveyance
Action or to cause a termination or dissolution of such Partnership because of such Conveyance Action. The Contributor further covenants that it will take no action to enjoin, or seek damages resulting from, any Conveyance Action by any holder of a
direct or indirect interest in a Partnership or a Property in which the Partnership Interests represent a direct or indirect interest. 

(e) The Waivers and Consents contained in this Section shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, except as to transactions
completed hereunder prior to termination.

Section 6.2 Grant of Power of Attorney. The Contributor hereby irrevocably appoints the Operating Partnership (or its
designee) and any successor thereof from time to time (such Operating Partnership or designee or any such successor of any of them acting in his, her or its capacity as attorney-in-fact pursuant hereto, the “Attorney-In-Fact”) as
the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of each of the Contributor and the Partnerships, to act in the name, place and stead of each of the Contributor and the Partnerships to provide information to the Securities and Exchange Commission and
others about the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Power of Attorney”), provided, that the Attorney-in-Fact may not take any such action on behalf of the Contributor unless such action is in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1, and the Attorney-in-Fact has given the Contributor reasonable prior written notice for each action to be so taken by the Attorney-in-Fact. 

The Power of Attorney and all authority granted hereby shall be coupled with an interest and therefore shall be irrevocable and shall not be
terminated by any act of the Contributor, and if any other such act or events shall occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Attorney-in-Fact shall nevertheless be authorized and directed to complete all such transactions as if such other act or events had not occurred and regardless of notice
thereof. The Contributor hereby agrees that, at the request of Operating Partnership, it will promptly execute and deliver to the Operating Partnership a separate power of attorney on the same terms set forth in this Article 6, such execution to be
witnessed and notarized, and in recordable form (if necessary). The Contributor hereby authorizes the reliance of third parties on the Power of Attorney. 

The Contributor acknowledges that the Operating Partnership has, and any designee or successor thereof acting as Attorney-in-Fact may have, an economic interest in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Operating Partnership hereby acknowledges that any information provided
as Attorney-in-Fact pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.4. 

Section 6.3 Ratification; Third Party Reliance. The Contributor hereby ratifies and confirms that the Attorney-in-Fact shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the exercise of the powers granted unto it by the Contributor under this Article 6, and the Contributor authorizes the reliance of third parties on this Power of Attorney and waives its rights, if
any, as against any such third party for its reliance hereon. 
 ARTICLE 7. 

RISK OF LOSS 
 The risk of loss
relating to the Properties prior to the Pre-Closing shall be borne by the Contributor. If, prior to the Pre-Closing, (a) any Property is materially or totally destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or (b) any Property is
materially or totally taken by eminent domain or through 

  
 26 

 
condemnation proceedings, then the Operating Partnership may, at its option (such election to be made as soon as reasonably practicable following such occurrence and in any event prior to the
Pre-Closing), either: (i) amend this Agreement to the smallest extent necessary to exclude the destroyed, damaged or condemned Property (and the Partnership Interest applicable thereto, if any) in which event the Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect with respect to all other Partnership Interests and Properties; or (ii) elect to proceed with the acquisition of the Property (either directly or through the acquisition of the Partnership Interest), regardless of such
destruction, damage or condemnation as described above. The Contributor shall not have any obligation to repair or replace any such damage, destruction or taken property. Unless the Operating Partnership elects to exclude the Property or Properties
that are destroyed, damaged or condemned as described herein (in which case this sentence shall not apply), at the Closing (i) the Contributor shall pay or cause to be paid to the Operating Partnership any sums collected (directly or
indirectly) by the Contributor, if any, under any policies of insurance, if any, or award proceeds relating to such casualty or condemnation, if any, and otherwise assign to the Operating Partnership all rights (directly or indirectly) of the
Contributor to collect such sums as may then be uncollected (except to the extent required for collection costs or repairs by the Contributor prior to the Closing Date, and provided that the Contributor shall retain any insurance proceeds
attributable to lost rents or other items applicable to any period prior to the Determination Date, and all rights thereto); and (ii) the Contributor’s Total Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of any deductibles under the
applicable insurance policies. As used in this Article 7, “materially” destroyed, damaged or taken refers to any casualty loss or damage or any loss due to condemnation, in either case, to a Property or any portion thereof if (x) the
cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to substantially the same condition which existed prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect or other qualified expert selected by the Contributor and reasonably
approved by the Operating Partnership, or the amount of the proposed condemnation award, is equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Total Consideration for such Property, (y) such loss or damage would entitle tenants occupying
more than ten percent (10%) of the total rentable square footage at such Property, in the aggregate, to terminate their Leases. 

ARTICLE 8. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.1 Further Assurances. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall take such other actions and execute such
additional documents following the Closing as the other may reasonably request in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 8.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Section 8.3 Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the choice of laws provisions thereof. 

Section 8.4 Amendment; Waiver. Any amendment hereto shall be in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No waiver of any
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. 

Section 8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto and the agreements referred to in
Section 2.3 hereof constitute the entire agreement and supersede conflicting provisions set forth in all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof,
as the case may be. Exhibit C is incorporated 

  
 27 

 
in this Agreement by reference in its entirety, such that reference to this “Agreement” shall automatically include Exhibit C, and is subject to all of the provisions of this
Article 8. 
 Section 8.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the
benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation of law) by any party without the prior written
consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect, except that the Operating Partnership, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate. 

Section 8.7 Titles. The titles and captions of the Articles, Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and shall have no effect on the construction or meaning of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.8 Third
Party Beneficiary. Except as may be expressly provided or incorporated by reference herein, including, without limitation, the indemnification provisions hereof, no provision of this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to provide
or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any customer, affiliate, stockholder, partner, member, director, officer or employee of any party hereto or any other person or entity. 

Section 8.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is for any reason held to any
extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to
replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any
amendment, consent or agreement deemed necessary or desirable by the Operating Partnership to effect such replacement. 

Section 8.10 Reliance. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on tax advice or other
advice from the other party to this Agreement, and that it has or will consult with its own advisors. 

Section 8.11 Survival. It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that the representations, warranties
and covenants of the Contributor, the Operating Partnership and the Company set forth in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 3.7 of
Exhibit C. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by
the instruments of Closing. 
 Section 8.12 Notice. Any notice to be given hereunder by any party to the other shall be
given in writing by either (i) personal delivery, (ii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) facsimile transmission (provided such facsimile is followed by an original of such notice by mail
or personal delivery as provided herein), and any such notice shall be deemed communicated as of the date of delivery (including delivery by overnight courier, certified mail or facsimile). Mailed notices shall be addressed as set forth below, but
any party may change the address set forth below by written notice to other parties in accordance with this paragraph.

damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or

 29 

 
connection with this Agreement if the Closing fails to occur, except that if the Closing fails to occur due to the Contributor’s material breach of this Agreement, then the Operating

actual out-of-pocket expenses paid in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, it being understood that in no event shall the Operating Partnership or the Company have a right to damages (except pursuant to clause
(a) above) in such event, and that in such event no party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other hereunder, or (b) specifically enforce this Agreement (it being understood that if the Operating Partnership and the
Company proceed with the Closing then the Contributor shall not have any liability to the Operating Partnership or the Company in respect of (and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Company shall make any claim, including a claim for
indemnification under Section 3.2 of Exhibit C, based upon) any pre-Closing breach, default or other matter which was known to the Operating Partnership or the Company as of Closing). 

Section 8.14 Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby agree that, in order to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of any
disputes under this Agreement, each claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature, arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated by or
related to this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties), including without limitation any claim based on contract, tort or statute, or the arbitrability of any claim hereunder (an “Arbitrable Claim”), shall, subject to
Section 8.13 above, be settled by final and binding arbitration conducted in New York, New York. The arbitrability of any Arbitrable Claims under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with a two-step dispute resolution process
administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) involving, first, mediation before a retired judge from the JAMS panel, followed, if necessary, by final and binding arbitration before the same, or
if requested by either party, another JAMS panelist. Such dispute resolution process shall be confidential and shall be conducted in accordance with applicable New York law. 

(i) Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not resolved by an informal negotiation between the parties within fifteen
(15) days after either party receives written notice that a Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter shall be referred to the New York, New York office of JAMS, or any other office agreed to by the parties, for an informal, non-binding mediation
consisting of one or more conferences between the parties in which a retired judge will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims. The parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel
of mediators. In the event the parties cannot agree on a mediator, the Administrator of JAMS will appoint a mediator. The mediation process shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the Arbitrable Claims are resolved,
(ii) the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of resolution through mediation, or (iii) thirty (30) days have elapsed since the Arbitrable Claim was first scheduled for mediation. 

(ii) Arbitration. Should any Arbitrable Claims remain after the completion of the mediation process described above, the parties
agree to submit all remaining Arbitrable Claims to final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the then existing JAMS Arbitration Rules. Neither party nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content, or results of
any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except as provided herein, the applicable New York law shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings pursuant to this subparagraph. The arbitrator is
without jurisdiction to apply any substantive law other than the laws selected or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Judgment upon the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

  
 30 

 (iii) Survivability. This dispute resolution process shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. The parties expressly acknowledge that by signing this Agreement, they are giving up their respective right to a jury trial.

 ARTICLE 2 — REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

OF CONTRIBUTOR 
 Except as set
forth in the Disclosure Schedule or the Prospectus, the Contributor represents and warrants to the Operating Partnership and the Company as set forth below in this Article 2, which 

  
 Exhibit C-3 

 
representations and warranties, are true and correct as of the date hereof and will (except to the extent expressly relating to a specified date) be true and correct as of the date of Closing:

 2.1 Organization; Authority; Qualification. The Contributor has been duly formed, and is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. The Contributor has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, each agreement contemplated hereby to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of its business or the character of its property make such qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Entity owned by the Contributor is duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing (to the extent applicable) under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and each such Entity has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is
qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its property make such qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Contributor has made available to the Operating Partnership true and correct copies of the organizational documents of each Entity owned by the Contributor, with all amendments as in effect on the date of this Agreement (collectively,
the “Organizational Documents”). Schedule 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule lists each Entity owned by the Contributor, its jurisdiction of formation and each partner, member or other equity owner of such Entity as of the date
hereof. 
 2.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Contributor has been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary action of the Contributor and its members or partners. The Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Contributor pursuant to the Agreement constitutes, or
when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor, each enforceable against the Contributor in accordance with its terms, as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of
equitable principles. 
 2.3 Consents and Approvals. Except as shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date and as set forth
in Schedule 2.3 to the Disclosure Schedule, as of the date hereof, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or Governmental Entity (other than any Governmental Entity that is a tenant on a Property) is required to
be obtained by the Contributor or any Entity owned by the Contributor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals or
authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2.4 Ownership of the Partnership Interests;
Contributed Assets. 
 Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, the Partnership Interests and Properties
listed on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Partnerships, the Entities and the Properties being contributed by the Contributor, and such interests are owned (directly or
indirectly) by the Contributor that is contributing the same pursuant to the Agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor is the sole owner of the Partnership Interests being contributed by it,
beneficially and of record, free and clear of any Liens of any nature and has full power and authority to convey the Partnership Interests, free and clear of any Liens, and, upon delivery of consideration for such Partnership Interests as herein
provided, the Operating Partnership will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of any Liens other than any liens arising through the Operating Partnership. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, there are no
rights to purchase, subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights or preemptive rights 

  
 Exhibit C-4 

 
relating to the Partnership Interests to be contributed by the Contributor or any equity interest in any Entity that will be in effect as of the Closing. 

Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor or the relevant Entity, as applicable, is the sole
owner of the Contributed Assets, if any, and has full power and authority to convey the Contributed Assets, if any. Other than the Excluded Assets, the applicable Partnership Interests, Properties, Contributed Assets and Assumed Agreements
constitute all assets, rights, interests, and property interests owned by the Contributor related to the Properties. Other than the ownership interests listed on Schedule 2.4, no Entity in which the Contributor holds an interest to be
contributed hereunder holds any equity ownership interest in, or any note, stock or other security of, any other partnership, limited liability company or other entity. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, no
person or entity holds any rights granted by the Contributor or any affiliate thereof to purchase or otherwise acquire all or any portion of the Properties (or interest therein) that will be in effect as of the Closing, including pursuant to any
purchase agreement, option, right of first offer, right of first refusal, gift or other agreement. 
 2.5 No Violation. Except as
shall have been cured to the satisfaction of the Operating Partnership, consented to or waived in writing by the Operating Partnership prior to the Closing Date or as set forth in Schedule 2.5 to the Disclosure Schedule, none of the
execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement, any agreement contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result
in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Operating Partnership of (A) the organizational documents, including the operating agreement, if
any, of the Contributor or any of the Entities in which the Contributor holds an interest to be contributed hereunder, (B) any agreement, document or instrument (other than any of the Existing Loan Documents as to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein) to which the Contributor is a party or by which the Contributor or any Entity in which the Contributor holds an interest to be contributed hereunder, or the Partnership Interests or the Contributed Assets to be
contributed thereby, are bound, or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or Governmental Entity or foreign, federal,
state, local or other law binding on the Contributor or the Entities in which the Contributor holds an interest to be contributed hereunder, or by which the Contributor, Entity or any of their assets or properties (including the Contributed Assets)
are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach, default or right would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

2.6 Non-Foreign Status. The Contributor is a United States person (as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), and is, therefore, not subject to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons, and is not subject to any state withholding requirements. The Contributor will
provide affidavits at the Closing to this effect as provided for in Section 2.3(e) of the Agreement. 
 2.7 Withholding. The
Contributor shall execute at Closing such certificates or affidavits reasonably necessary to document the inapplicability of any United States federal or state withholding provisions, including without limitation those referred to in
Section 2.6 above. If the Contributor fails to provide such certificates or affidavits or as the Operating Partnership otherwise determines is required by applicable law, the Operating Partnership may withhold a portion of any payments
otherwise to be made to the Contributor. To the extent amounts are so withheld by the Operating Partnership, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Contributor. 

  
 Exhibit C-5 

 2.8 Investment Purposes. The Contributor acknowledges its understanding that the offering
and issuance of OP Units to be acquired by it pursuant to the Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”) and that
the Operating Partnership’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Contributor contained herein. In furtherance thereof, the Contributor represents and
warrants to the Company and the Operating Partnership as follows: 
 2.8.1 Investment. The Contributor is acquiring OP Units solely
for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof. The Contributor agrees and acknowledges that it
will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (hereinafter, “Transfer”) any of the OP Units, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, (ii) counsel for the Contributor (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Operating Partnership, it being agreed that
Goulston & Storrs PC is acceptable to the Operating Partnership) shall have furnished the Operating Partnership with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Operating Partnership, to the effect that no such
registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act, (iii) the Transfer is otherwise permitted by the OP Agreement or (iv) the pledge or hypothecation is to secure a bona fide loan
made by a third party and any hedging transactions entered into in connection therewith. The term “Transfer” shall not include any redemption or exchange of the OP Units for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 of the OP Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be made unless it is permitted under the OP Agreement. 
 2.8.2 Knowledge. The
Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the Federal securities laws and as described in the Agreement. The Contributor is able to bear
the economic risk of holding the OP Units for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the OP Units; the Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Company,
the Operating Partnership, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the issuance of the OP Units as the Contributor deems necessary or desirable, has had cash flow and operations data for the Properties made
available by the Operating Partnership upon request and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the Company, the Operating
Partnership, the Properties, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the OP Units, which the Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the OP Units and
to conduct its own independent valuation of the Properties. The Contributor (or each of its constituent equity owners) has reviewed with its legal counsel and tax advisors the forms of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement, the Amended and
Restated Bylaws of the Company, the form of which is attached to the Agreement as Appendix C (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) and the OP Agreement. 

2.8.3 Holding Period. The Contributor acknowledges that it has been advised that (i) the OP Units are not redeemable or
exchangeable for REIT Shares for fifteen (15) months, (ii) the OP Units issued pursuant to the Agreement, and any REIT Shares issued in exchange for, or in respect of a redemption of, any OP Units are “restricted securities”
(unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws) under applicable federal securities laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom and the Contributor understands
that the Operating Partnership has no obligation or intention to register any OP Units, except to the extent set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement; accordingly, the Contributor may have to bear indefinitely,

  
 Exhibit C-6 

 
the economic risks of an investment in such OP Units, (iii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on the OP Unit Certificates (and any certificates
representing REIT Shares for which OP Units may, in certain circumstances, be exchanged or redeemed), and (iv) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Operating Partnership and the Company indicating that the OP Units (and
any REIT Shares for which OP Units may, in certain circumstances, be exchanged or redeemed) are subject to restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15) month holding period, the
Contributor may pledge or encumber (to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership, another investor in the Operating Partnership or an institutional lender as support for a bona fide loan, which, in addition to banks, shall include, without
limitation, securities firms, broker/dealers and other entities engaged in the business of commercial lending) the OP Units delivered to the Contributor at Closing. 

2.8.4 Accredited Investor. The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of
Regulation D under the Act). The Contributor has previously provided the Operating Partnership and the Company with a duly executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire. No event or circumstance has occurred since delivery of such Questionnaire to make
the statements contained therein false or misleading. 
 2.8.5 Legend. Each OP Unit Certificate, if any, issued pursuant to the
Agreement (and any certificates representing REIT Shares for which OP Units may, in certain circumstances, be exchanged or redeemed), unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, shall bear the following legend: 

The securities evidenced hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or the securities
laws of any state and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration, unless, except in limited circumstances, the transferor delivers to the company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company, to
the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; 

In addition to the foregoing legend, each certificate (if any) representing REIT Shares for which the OP Units may, in certain circumstances,
be exchanged or redeemed shall also bear a legend which generally provides the following: 
 The shares represented by this certificate are
subject to restrictions on Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of
7.1% (in value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially or
Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation in excess of 7.1% of the value of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall
be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify
as a REIT; (iv) no Person may Constructively Own Capital Stock if such Constructive Ownership would cause any income of the Corporation to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the
Code if it otherwise would qualify as such, and (v) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would 

  
 Exhibit C-7 

 
result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares
of Capital Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. If any of the restrictions on transfer or
ownership set forth in (i) through (iv) above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the
Corporation may take other actions, including redeeming shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may
violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings
defined in the Charter of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and
without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its Principal Office. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at the Closing the Company shall grant a waiver of the foregoing limitations to the Contributor in the form attached hereto as Annex A-1, subject to the receipt of a representation letter from the Contributor in the form of
Annex A-2. 
 2.9 No Brokers. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(i), neither the Contributor nor any of its officers,
directors or employees, to the extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their
affiliates (including any of the Partnerships and/or Entities) to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. 

2.10 Solvency. Assuming the accuracy of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s representations and warranties, the
Contributor will be solvent immediately following the transfer of its Properties, Partnership Interests (if applicable) and the Contributed Assets to the Operating Partnership. 

2.11 Taxes. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, no Tax lien or other charge exists or will exist upon consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby with respect to any Property, except for Permitted Encumbrances. Copies of the real property Tax bills for each Property for the current Tax year have been furnished or made available to the Operating Partnership, and such Tax
bills are true and correct copies of all of the real property Tax bills for such Tax year actually received with respect to each such Property by the Contributor or the Entities. For federal income Tax purposes, each Entity being directly or
indirectly acquired by the Company or the Operating Partnership (each such entity, an “Acquired Entity”) is, and at all times during its existence has been either (i) a partnership or limited liability company taxable as a
partnership (rather than an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) or (ii) a disregarded entity. Each Acquired Entity has timely and properly filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by it. All such Tax Returns
are complete and accurate in all material respects. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.11 to the Disclosure Schedule, to the Knowledge of the Contributor, all Taxes due and owing with respect to each Acquired Entity or Property (whether or not
shown on any Tax Return) have been paid. No Acquired Entity is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time
with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. No deficiencies for Taxes of any Acquired Entity or with respect to any Property have been claimed, proposed or assessed by any Tax authority or other Governmental Entity. There are no audits,
investigations, disputes, notices of deficiency, claims or other actions for or relating to any liability for 

  
 Exhibit C-8 

 
Taxes of any Acquired Entity or with respect to any Property pending or, to the Knowledge of the Contributor, threatened in writing in the last twelve months. 

2.12 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.12 to the Disclosure Schedule, there is no Action, litigation, claim or
other proceeding, either judicial or administrative (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding), pending or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened in writing in the last twelve months, against any Property, any
Partnership, the Contributor, the Contributed Assets or any of the Entities or that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Contributor’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Contributor is not bound by
any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, Governmental Entity or arbitration against or affecting all or any portion of its Partnership Interests, Properties, the Contributed Assets, or any Entity which in any such case would
impair the Contributor’s ability to enter into and perform all of its obligations under the Agreement or would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

2.13 Compliance With Laws. In connection with the operation of the Properties, except as set forth in Schedule 2.13 to the
Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor has not received written notice that any Property is not in compliance with, and to the Contributor’s Knowledge each Property has been maintained in accordance with, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, codes, orders and statutes (including, without limitation, those currently relating to fire safety, conservation, parking, Americans with Disabilities Act, zoning and building laws) whether federal, state or local, except where the
failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such Property. Compliance with Environmental Laws is not addressed by this Section 2.13, but rather solely by Section 2.17. 

2.14 Eminent Domain. There is no existing or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain
or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding, in respect of all or any material portion of any Property. 
 2.15
Licenses and Permits. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.15 to the Disclosure Schedule, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, all licenses, permits or other governmental approvals (including certificates of occupancy) required to be
obtained by the owner of any Property in connection with the construction, use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of the Properties have been obtained and are in full force and effect and in good standing, except for those licenses,
permits and other governmental approvals the failure of which to obtain or maintain in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such Property. 

2.16 Real Property Agreements. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.16 to the Disclosure Schedule, to the Contributor’s
Knowledge, no monetary or material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by the Partnership and, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, any other party exists under any agreement to which such Partnership is a party
affecting any Property (including, without limitation, any of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, right-of-way or easements constituting one or more of the Permitted Encumbrances) which would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Property. To
the Contributor’s Knowledge, such agreements are valid and binding and in full force and effect, have not been materially amended, modified or supplemented since such time as such agreements were made available to the Operating Partnership,
except for such amendments, modifications and supplements delivered or made available to the Operating Partnership. 
 2.17 Environmental
Compliance. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, except as may be disclosed in Schedule 2.17 to the Disclosure Schedule or the environmental reports listed therein (the “Environmental Reports”) (true and correct copies of
which have been made available to the Operating Partnership), the Properties are currently in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such

  
 Exhibit C-9 

 
Property. The Contributor has not received any written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state, county or municipal entity or agency that
regulates Hazardous Materials or public health risks or other environmental matters or any other private party or Person claiming any current violation of, or requiring current compliance with, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or
demanding payment or contribution for any Release or other environmental damage in, on, under, or upon any of the Properties. No litigation in which the Contributor or any related Entity is a named party is pending with respect to Hazardous
Materials located in, on, under or upon any of the Properties, and to the Contributor’s Knowledge, no investigation in such respect is pending and no such litigation or investigation has been threatened in writing in the last twelve months by
any Governmental Entity or any third party. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, except as may be disclosed in Schedule 2.17 to the Disclosure Schedule or the Environmental Reports, there are no environmental conditions existing at, on,
under, upon or affecting the Properties or any portion thereof that would reasonably be likely to result in any claim, liability or obligation under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permit or any claim by any third party that would have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 2.18 Notice of Defects. The Contributor has not received any written notice from the holder of any
mortgage presently encumbering a Property, any insurance company which has issued a policy with respect to a Property or from any board of fire underwriters (or other body exercising similar functions) which claims any defects or deficiencies in
such Property or suggesting or requesting the performance of any repairs, alterations or other work to such Property. 
 2.19
Intentionally Omitted. 
 2.20 Leases. With respect to each Property, the leases, licenses, tenancies, possession agreements
and occupancy agreements with tenants of such Property (the “Leases”) are identified on Schedule 2.20 to the Disclosure Schedule. The applicable Partnership holds the lessor’s interest under such Leases. A true and
complete copy of all such Leases have been made available to the Operating Partnership. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, such Leases are in full force and effect, except as indicated otherwise in Schedule 2.20 to the Disclosure
Schedule or the rent roll delivered to the Operating Partnership on the date hereof or in any estoppel certificate delivered to the Operating Partnership prior to the Closing. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.20 to the Disclosure Schedule or
the rent roll delivered to the Operating Partnership on the date hereof, no monetary or material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by the Partnership and, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, any other party exists
under any Lease. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, no tenants under any of the Leases is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. 

2.21 Ground Leases. No Property is the subject of any ground leases or air space leases in which any of the Partnerships or any related
Entity holds an interest as lessee or tenant. 
 2.22 Tangible Personal Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.22 to the
Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor’s interests in any fixtures or personal property that constitute Contributed Assets are free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens pursuant to the agreements pursuant to which such Fixtures and Personal
Property are leased and Permitted Encumbrances. 
 2.23 Service Contracts. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.23 to the
Disclosure Schedule, there are no (a) employees of any Partnership or Entity as of the date hereof, nor (b) service or maintenance contracts affecting any Property which are not cancelable upon ninety (90) days’ notice or less or
which are for a contract amount greater than $100,000 per annum; true and correct copies of the service, equipment, franchise, operating, management, parking, supply, utility and maintenance agreements relating to any Property (the “Service
Contracts”) have been made available to the Operating Partnership and the same are in full force and effect and have not been materially modified or amended except in the 

  
 Exhibit C-10 

 
ordinary course of the applicable Partnership’s business. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.23 to the Disclosure Schedule, no Partnership has given or received written notice of any
default (which remains uncured) under any of the Service Contracts. 
 2.24 Existing Loans. Schedule 2.24 to the
Disclosure Schedule lists all secured loans presently encumbering the Properties or any direct or indirect interest in any Entity held by the Contributor, and any unsecured loans related thereto to be assumed by the Operating Partnership or any
subsidiary of the Operating Partnership at Closing, as of the date hereof (the “Disclosed Loans”), the approximate outstanding aggregate principal balance of which is as set forth on Schedule 2.24 as of the date set forth on
Schedule 2.24 based on the calculation of the loans listed in Schedule 2.24. To Contributor’s Knowledge, the Disclosed Loans and the documents entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “Disclosed Loan
Documents”) are in full force and effect as of the date hereof. No monetary or material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by the Partnership or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, any other party exists
under any of the Loan Documents. Schedule 2.24 is a true, correct and complete list in all material respects of all documents evidencing and entered into by Contributor and Partnerships in connection with the Existing Loans. True, correct and
complete copies of the existing Disclosed Loan Documents set forth in Schedule 2.24 have been made available to the Operating Partnership. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.24, no Entity is the holder of any promissory note or similar
debt instrument whether issued by an affiliated entity or third party. 
 2.25 Due Diligence. Prior to the date hereof, except as
specifically identified to the Operating Partnership in writing, the Contributor has provided the Operating Partnership with (or access to), true, correct and complete copies of the documents that to the Knowledge of the Contributor are in its
possession and control that are responsive to Part IX entitled “Properties, Assets and Leases” of the due diligence request list, dated July 10, 2014, made available to the Contributor by Affiliates of the Operating Partnership (the
“Property Information”). The Contributor has not deliberately or intentionally removed, omitted or redacted any information from the Property Information except as specifically identified to the Operating Partnership in writing
identifying the basis for such removal, omission or redaction. 
 2.26 Zoning. The Contributor has not received (i) any written
notice (which remains uncured) from any Governmental Entity stating that any of the Properties is currently violating any zoning, land use or other similar rules or ordinances in any material respect, or (ii) any written notice of any pending
or threatened proceedings for the rezoning (i.e., as opposed to the current zoning) of any of the Properties or any portion thereof. 
 2.27
Operating Statements. The operating statements of income and expense of the Contributor provided by the Contributor to the Operating Partnership are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and fairly and accurately reflect the
income and expenses of the operation of the Properties for the periods reflected thereby. 
 ARTICLE 3 — INDEMNIFICATION 

3.1 Survival Of Representations And Warranties; Remedy For Breach. 

(a) Subject to the limitation period set forth in Section 3.7 of this Exhibit C, all representations and warranties
contained in this Exhibit C (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule) or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered pursuant to the Agreement shall survive the Closing. 

  
 Exhibit C-11 

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Exhibit C, following
the Closing and issuance of OP Units to the Contributor, the Contributor shall not be liable under this Exhibit C or the Agreement for monetary damages (or otherwise) for breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations contained in this Exhibit C or the Agreement (other than the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 2.5 and 2.6(e) thereof) or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered by it pursuant thereto, other
than pursuant to the succeeding provisions of this Article 3, which, except as provided in Sections 8.13 and 8.14 of the Agreement, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing
provision relating to exclusive remedy, each of the Operating Partnership and the Company hereby expressly waives any rights or claims it may have to pursue any remedy against the Contributor or any of its affiliates following the Closing and
payment of cash and issuance of OP Units to the Contributor, whether under statute or common law, including, without limitation, any rights arising under any Environmental Law, other than (i) as provided in this Article 3 or in
Sections 8.13 and 8.14 of the Agreement, and (ii) with respect to the covenants and obligations described in Sections 2.5 and 2.6(e) of the Agreement. In no event shall the constituent members, partners, employees, officers, directors,
managers, advisers, agents or representatives of the Contributor, or of any Entity other than the Contributor, be liable for monetary damages (or otherwise) for any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations
contained in this Exhibit C or the Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered by the Contributor or Entity pursuant thereto. 

3.2 General Indemnification. 

(a) Subject to Section 3.6, from and after the Closing Date, the Contributor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Operating Partnership and the Company (each of which is an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Party, to the extent resulting from any breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant of the Contributor contained in the Agreement (as qualified by all items set forth in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Schedule and including, without limitation, this Exhibit C), or in any Schedule,
Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered by the Contributor pursuant thereto. In each case, the Contributor shall only bear the fees, costs or expenses in connection with the employment of one counsel (regardless of the number of Indemnified
Parties). 
 (b) Subject to Section 3.6, the Contributor shall also indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and
against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from an unrelated third-party claim arising from (i) the Contributor’s failure to timely pay any fees and expenses of
the Contributor for which it is responsible pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) any Excluded Liabilities of the Contributor. 

(c) With respect to any claim of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.2, to the extent available, the Operating Partnership
agrees to use diligent good faith efforts to pursue and collect any and all available proceeds and benefits of any right to defense under any insurance policy which covers the matter which is the subject of the indemnification prior to seeking
indemnification from the Contributor until all proceeds and benefits, if any, to which the Operating Partnership or the Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to such insurance policy have been exhausted; provided, however, that the Operating
Partnership may make a claim under this Section 3.2 even if an insurance coverage dispute is pending, in which case, if the Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds with respect to any Losses paid by the Contributor for the benefit
of any Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Contributor in an amount equivalent to such proceeds in excess of any deductible amount pursuant to Section 3.6(a) up to the amount actually paid (or deemed paid) by the
Contributor to the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnification (it being understood that all costs and 

  
 Exhibit C-12 

 
expenses incurred by the Contributor with respect to insurance coverage disputes shall constitute Losses paid by the Contributor for purposes of Section 3.2(a)). 

3.3 Pledge Agreement. At the IPO Closing, the Contributor shall execute a Pledge Agreement (in the form of Exhibit H to the
Agreement) pursuant to which its indemnity contained in this Article 3 shall be secured by a pledge of a number of OP Units equal to five percent (5%) of the sum of (a) the aggregate number of OP Units received as the Total Consideration
of the Contributor plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock received by the Contributor in the Special Distribution, and which pledge will be in full satisfaction of any indemnification obligations of the Contributor contained
in this Article 3. The Pledge Agreement shall provide that Bank of New York, or an institution of a similar type, serve as the pledge holder of the OP Units, and shall provide that notwithstanding such pledge and any distributions associated with
the pledged OP Units during the terms of the Pledge Agreement shall be distributed to the Contributor as though such OP Units have not been pledged. 

3.4 Agent for Pledgees. 

(a) In connection with the indemnities set forth in this Section 3, each Indemnified Party by accepting the benefits of this Agreement
hereby designates and appoints the Operating Partnership as its agent under the Pledge Agreement, and each Indemnified Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Operating Partnership to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its
behalf under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement and to exercise such powers as are set forth therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Operating Partnership is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or
waive any provisions of the Pledge Agreement on behalf of the Indemnified Parties. The Operating Partnership agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 3.4. The provisions of this Section 3.4 are solely for
the benefit of the Operating Partnership and the Indemnified Parties, and the Contributor shall not have any obligations under or rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under the
Pledge Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall act solely as an administrative representative of the Indemnified Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or
for the Indemnified Parties, by or through its agents or employees. 
 (b) The Operating Partnership shall have no duties, obligations or
responsibilities to the Indemnified Parties except those expressly set forth in this Section 3.4 or in the Pledge Agreement. Neither the Operating Partnership nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Indemnified Party for any action taken or omitted by them under this Section 3.4 or under the Pledge Agreement, or in connection with this Section 3.4 or the Pledge Agreement, except that the Operating Partnership shall be obligated on the
terms set forth in this Section 3.4 for performance of its express obligations under the Pledge Agreement. In performing its functions and duties under the Pledge Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall exercise the same care which it would
exercise in dealing with a security interest in collateral held for its own account, but the Operating Partnership shall not be responsible to any Indemnified Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties in the Pledge Agreement
or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreement or the collateral or the transactions contemplated thereby. The Operating Partnership shall not be required to make any inquiry
concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Pledge Agreement. 
 (c) The Operating
Partnership shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to 

  
 Exhibit C-13 

 
this Section 3.4 and the Pledge Agreement and its duties under this Section 3.4 or the Pledge Agreement, upon advice of counsel selected by it. The Operating Partnership shall be
entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Operating Partnership in its sole discretion. 

3.5 Notice and Defense of Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any liability
or claim incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to indemnification under this Article 3, the Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof to the Contributor, including liabilities or claims to be applied against the
indemnification deductible established pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof; provided that failure to give notice to the Contributor will not relieve the Contributor from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party, unless, and only to
the extent that, such failure (a) shall have caused prejudice to the defense of such claim or (b) shall have materially increased the costs or potential liability of the Contributor by reason of the inability or failure of the Contributor
(due to such lack of prompt notice) to be involved in any investigations or negotiations regarding any such claim. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to such Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim, and the amount or
good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising therefrom. Unless prohibited by law, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Contributor, promptly after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents
received by such Indemnified Party relating to such claim. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Contributor, at their own option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel selected by the Contributor and reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate in such defense at its sole expense; and provided further, however, that
the Contributor shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to all Indemnified Parties a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money damages which are paid (or
deemed paid) in full by the Contributor. If the Contributor has not undertaken such defense within 30 days after such notice, or within such shorter time as may be reasonable under the circumstances to the extent required by applicable law, then the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the account of the Contributor and at the Contributor’s sole cost and expense (subject to the limitations
in Section 3.6); provided, however, that the Contributor will be not obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any compromise or settlement entered into without the Contributor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 3.6 Limitations on Indemnification Under Section 3.2(a). 

(a) The Contributor shall not be liable under Section 3.2(a) hereof unless and until the total amount recoverable by the Indemnified
Parties from the Contributor under Section 3.2(a) exceeds one percent (1%) of the value of (i) the aggregate Total Consideration of the Contributor (valuing OP Units based upon the initial public offering price of the Common Stock)
plus (ii) the Common Stock received by the Contributor in the Special Distribution (valued at the initial public offering price of the Common Stock), and then only to the extent of such excess. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of the Contributor under Section 3.2(a)
hereof shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the value of (i) the aggregate Total Consideration of the Contributor (valuing OP Units based upon the initial public offering price of the Common Stock) plus (ii) the Common Stock received
by the Contributor in the Special Distribution (valued at the initial public offering price of the Common Stock). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, before taking recourse against any assets of

  
 Exhibit C-14 

 
the Contributor and subject to the limitations set forth in the following sentence, the Indemnified Parties shall look, first to available insurance proceeds (including without limitation any
title insurance proceeds, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.2(c) above, and then to the Contributor’s OP Units pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, for indemnification under this Article 3, valuing OP Units based upon the
initial public offering price of the Common Stock (and agree to treat any return of OP Units as an adjustment to the consideration delivered to the Contributor pursuant to the Formation Transactions). Following the Closing and the issuance of OP
Units to the Contributor, no Indemnified Party shall have recourse to any assets of the Contributor other than the OP Units pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and to the extent applicable, any relevant insurance policies. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Contributor shall not be liable to the Indemnified Parties for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of value or other similar speculative damages asserted or claimed by
the Indemnified Parties. 
 (c) The limitations in this Section 3.6 shall not apply to any obligations of the Contributor under
Sections 2.5 and 2.6(e) of the Agreement. 
 3.7 Limitation Period. 

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification under Section 3.2 hereof must be asserted in writing by the Indemnified
Party, stating the nature of the Losses and the basis for indemnification therefor on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.7(a), if asserted in writing on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing, any
claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 3.2 shall survive until resolved by mutual agreement between the Contributor and the Indemnified Party or pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Agreement, and any claim for indemnification pursuant
to Section 3.2 not so asserted in writing on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing shall not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived. 

ARTICLE 4 — QUALIFICATION 

Except for the Surviving Representations, and the covenants, obligations and indemnities set forth herein, the Operating Partnership
acknowledges that its acquisition of the Partnership Interests, the Properties and the Contributed Assets from the Contributor is an “AS IS” transaction as further described in Article 6 of the Agreement and that the Operating Partnership
shall rely and has relied on its investigations and due diligence to determine whether to acquire the Partnership Interests, the Properties and the Contributed Assets.

TO 
 CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 

TOTAL CONSIDERATION 
 The Total
Consideration to be received by the Contributor in exchange for the Properties, the Partnership Interests (if any), the Contributed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Assumed Agreements related to the Properties shall be the number of OP Units
equal to (i) 6.06% multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of OP Units issuable to all contributors in the Formation Transactions. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the percentage set forth in clause (i) above
shall be updated at and as of the Closing by the Operating Partnership acting in good faith to reflect any changes in the principal balance of any debt secured by, or other net assets contributed with, the Properties relative to the principal
balance of any debt secured by, or other net assets contributed with, the additional properties, directly or indirectly, set forth on Exhibit A-2 that are also being contributed to the Operating Partnership. For the avoidance of doubt,
none of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Public Offering or in any private placement of Common Stock entered into in connection therewith or any shares of Common Stock distributed by the Operating Partnership in a special distribution shall
be included for purposes of the calculation of the Total Consideration. 
 No fractional OP Units shall be issued in connection with the
Formation Transactions. All fractional OP Units that a holder of OP Units would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Formation Transactions shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of OP Units. 

THE CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING PURSUANT TO THIS EXHIBIT D SHALL BE PERFORMED IN GOOD FAITH BY
THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE AGREEMENT, THE CONTRIBUTOR AGREES THAT THE CALCULATION OF TOTAL CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING SHALL BE FINAL AND
BINDING UPON THE CONTRIBUTOR, ABSENT MANIFEST ERROR. THE CONTRIBUTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP IN WRITING OF ANY ALLEGED MANIFEST ERROR WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIPT OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP’S CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL
CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING. THE CONTRIBUTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING, OTHER THAN AS SPECIFIED IN SUCH NOTICE SETTING FORTH THE ALLEGED
MANIFEST ERROR.

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of
            , 20     (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and the Pledgor, the Pledgor is contributing
the Partnership Interests to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement,
the Pledgor has agreed to indemnify the Operating Partnership and the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) (as provided and subject to the limitations expressed in Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement), for
certain Losses asserted during the Survival Period (as hereinafter defined). The Pledgor’s obligations to so indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Losses in accordance with Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement and to
perform its obligations hereunder related thereto (the “Secured Obligations”); and 
 WHEREAS, in order to secure the full
and timely performance of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement, as applicable, the Pledgor has agreed to pledge and grant to the Pledgee for the Pledgee’s own benefit and the benefit of
each Indemnified Party, a lien and security interest in, to and under a number of OP Units, as more fully described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Pledged Interests”), as more fully described on Exhibit A
attached hereto, such pledges, liens and security interests to remain in effect during the Pledge Period (as defined below). 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the payment, performance and observance of the Secured Obligations, now
existing or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, whether or not due and payable, the Pledgor pledges to the Pledgee, for its own benefit and for the benefit of each Indemnified Party, and grants to the Pledgee, for its own benefit and the
benefit of each Indemnified Party, a security interest in the following property (collectively, the “Collateral”): 

(i) the Pledged Interests, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto; 

(ii) any additional partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Partnership Interests”) and/or obligations
of the Operating Partnership that may at any time hereafter be acquired by any Pledgor in respect of the Pledged Interests and, if any, the certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing the same, excepting therefrom any distribution made
pursuant to Section 5.6 of that certain Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership dated as of the date hereof (the “Special Distribution”); 

(iii) all rights of Pledgor in and to all distributions in kind declared in respect of any or all of the foregoing; and 

(iv) all proceeds and profits of any or all of the foregoing. 

2. Delivery of Certificates and Instruments. The Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee: (a) the original certificates or other
instruments or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests concurrently with the 

  
 Exhibit H-2 

 
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (b) the original certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing all other Collateral (except for Collateral that this Agreement
specifically permits the Pledgor to retain) within ten (10) days after the Pledgor’s receipt thereof. All Collateral that is certificated securities shall be in bearer form or, if in registered form, shall be issued in the name of the
Pledgee or endorsed to the Pledgee or in blank. 
 3. Pledgor Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
(a) the Pledgor shall remain obligated, to the extent set forth in the agreements (including, without limitation, the OP Agreement) under which it has received, or has rights or obligations in respect of its ownership of, the Pledged Interests
(“Related Agreements”) to perform its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Pledgor
from any of its duties or obligations under the Related Agreements, except to the extent that such duties and obligations may have been terminated by reason of a sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant hereto; and (c) the
Pledgee shall not by reason of this Agreement have any obligations or liabilities under the Related Agreements, nor shall the Pledgee be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Pledgor under the Related Agreements or to take any
action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. 
 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Pledgor
represents, warrants and covenants, as of the date hereof (for itself and not jointly or jointly and severally with any other Person), as follows: 

(a) Set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto is a complete and accurate list and description of all Pledged Interests delivered by
Pledgor. Pledgor owns, directly or indirectly, all of such Pledged Interests, free and clear of all claims, mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances and security interests of every nature whatsoever, except in favor of the Pledgee. All other
Collateral hereafter delivered by the Pledgor to the Pledgee will be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Pledgor free and clear of all claims, mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances and security interests of every nature whatsoever, except in
favor of the Pledgee. 
 (b) With respect to the Pledgor, the address of its principal office is set forth in Section 21 hereof.
Pledgor will not change said address without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Pledgee, and with respect to any such change in address, Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Pledgee such documents and take such
actions as the Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to perfect and protect the Pledgee’s security interests in and to the Collateral. 

(c) During the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period (as defined below)), the Pledgor will not
create, incur, assume or permit to exist any security interest in the Collateral (or during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained Collateral (as defined below)) other than the security interest created pursuant to this Agreement or sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or grant a security interest in the Collateral (or during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained Collateral) to any person other than the Pledgee. 

(d) The Pledged Interests that are Collateral hereunder are fully paid and are not subject to any options to purchase or similar rights of any
kind granted by the Pledgor in favor of any Person, except pursuant to the terms of the OP Agreement. 
 (e) This Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by the application of general equitable principles. 
 (f) The Pledgor’s execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate (as applicable) any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, 

  
 Exhibit H-3 

 
and will not conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Pledgor is a party or by
which it is bound, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property of the Pledgor pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing. 

(g) No consent of any Person and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or
registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental instrumentality is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, except for the filing of any financing statements required
or contemplated hereunder. 
 (h) The pledge of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority
security interest in such Collateral to the extent such interest can be created pursuant to the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, subject to any filings or actions required pursuant to the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise. 

(i) During the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor will take commercially reasonable
actions to defend the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral (or, during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained Collateral) against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. 

(j) During the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor will take any and all commercially
reasonable actions necessary to maintain its status as a limited partner of the Operating Partnership and the limited liability represented by the Pledged Interests. 

(k) During the Pledge Period, the Pledgor will not enter into or assume any other agreement containing a negative pledge with respect to the
Collateral (or, during any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable, with respect to the Retained Collateral). 
 5.
Registration. At any time and from time to time during the Pledge Period, the Pledgee may cause all or any of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its name or the name of its nominee or nominees. 

6. Claims; Value of Collateral. 

(a) Any claims by an Indemnified Party with respect to a Secured Obligation shall be made in accordance with Article 3 of Exhibit C to the
Contribution Agreement and this Agreement. On or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the “Survival Period”), an Indemnified Party may give notice (a
“Claim Notice”) to the Pledgor of any Loss that is subject to indemnification under Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement. 

(b) The value of Collateral (the “Value”) shall be determined as follows: (i) with respect to Collateral consisting of
OP Units, an amount equal to the initial public offering price of shares of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the number of OP Units; and (ii) for all other Collateral, the fair market value of such Collateral as determined by
directors of the Company who meet the New York Stock Exchange standards of independence for directors, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Independent Directors”). 

7. Voting Rights and Certain Payments Prior to Occurrence of Secured Obligations and Other Events. 

(a) Until Collateral may be applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation hereunder, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise, in its sole
discretion but not inconsistent with the terms hereof, the voting power with respect to any such Collateral, and for that purpose the Pledgee shall (if such Collateral shall be 

  
 Exhibit H-4 

 
registered in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee) execute or cause to be executed from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, such proxies or other instruments in favor of the Pledgor
or its nominee in such form and for such purposes as shall be reasonably required and specified in writing by the Pledgor, to enable the Pledgor to exercise such voting power with respect to such Collateral. 

(b) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any and all regular cash distributions (but not distributions in
the form of Partnership Interests or other securities, distributions in kind or liquidating distributions, all of which (other than any Special Distribution) shall be delivered and applied in accordance with Section 8 hereof) and interest at
any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, except with the prior consent of the Pledgee, until such time as the Pledge Period has expired, the Pledgor shall not have the right to exercise any of its redemption rights under Section 8.5 of the OP Agreement with respect to any
Pledged Interests. 
 8. Extraordinary Payments and Distributions. In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part)
of the Operating Partnership, any sum shall be paid as a liquidating distribution or otherwise upon or with respect to any of the Collateral (other than any Special Distribution), such sum shall be paid over to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event
within ten days after receipt thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder. In case any distribution of Partnership Interests shall be made with respect to the Collateral, or Partnership Interests or fractions thereof shall
be issued pursuant to any split involving any of the Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Collateral, or any partnership interests, shares, obligations or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to
the Collateral pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Operating Partnership, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part), bankruptcy or reorganization of the Operating Partnership, or pursuant
to the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership with or into another entity, the partnership interests, shares, obligations or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten days
after receipt thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder, and all of the same (other than cash) shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof. 

9. Pledgor Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be
impaired by: 
 (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the
Pledgor; 
 (b) any amendments to or modifications of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations;

 (c) the taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination
of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations; or 
 (d) the lack of enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations
against the Pledgor or any other person, whether or not the Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. 
 10. Voting
Rights and Certain Payments After Occurrence of Secured Obligation and Certain Other Events. 
 (a) At such time that Collateral may be
applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation hereunder, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising all voting power with respect to such Collateral and to otherwise exercise all ownership rights arising from such Collateral shall
cease, and thereupon the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to such Collateral and otherwise 

  
 Exhibit H-5 

 
exercise such ownership rights as though the Pledgee were the outright owner of such Collateral. In the event that the Independent Directors of the Company reasonably determine that the
outstanding claims asserted by the Indemnified Parties in one or more Claim Notices may equal or exceed the value of the Collateral then available to satisfy such claims, the Pledgor shall no longer be the owner of such Collateral for tax purposes
and all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain the distributions and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall cease, and thereupon the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive and
retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any and all distributions and interest at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, provided that, concurrent with making such determination, the Pledgee gives notice thereof to the
Pledgor. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Pledgor may submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Provisions (as defined below), and the decision of the arbitrators as to the retention of any such distributions and
interest shall be final and binding between the parties and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) All
payments, distributions or other property or assets that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 10 shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated
from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee. 
 11. Application of Cash Collateral. Any cash
received and retained by the Pledgee as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof may at any time and from time to time be applied (in whole or in part) by the Pledgee, at its option, to the payment of the Secured Obligations which
such Collateral secures (in such order as the Pledgee shall in its sole discretion determine), if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder. 

12. Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any cash received and retained pursuant to Section 8
hereof shall be applied by the Pledgee: first to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder; and then, to the payment to the Pledgor, or its successors or assigns or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. 
 13. Remedies With Respect to the Collateral. 

(a) Subject to the rights of the Pledgor to submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Provisions, if the
Pledgor fails to pay or perform any Secured Obligation when due, the Pledgee, without obligation to resort to other security, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to receive all or any part of Collateral with a Value equal to the
amount of such Secured Obligation, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (or the Contribution Agreement), the sole recourse of the Pledgee against the
Pledgor for the Secured Obligations and the obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement is limited to the rights of the Pledgor in any such Collateral that is applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation. 

(c) No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived, shall be required in connection with any transfer of
Collateral to the Pledgee pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 13(b), the remedies provided herein
in favor of the Pledgee shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Pledgee existing at law or in equity. 

  
 Exhibit H-6 

 (e) Pledgor and Pledgee agree to treat any application of Pledged Interests or other Collateral
in discharge of any Secured Obligations as a non-taxable adjustment to the portion of the consideration received by the Pledgor pursuant to the Contribution Agreement in the form of OP Units unless otherwise required pursuant to a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 14. Care of
Collateral. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any thereof actually in its possession.
With respect to any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, redemptions, offers, tenders or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral (herein called “events”), the Pledgee’s duty shall be fully satisfied if (i) the
Pledgee exercises reasonable care to ascertain the occurrence and to give reasonable notice to the Pledgor of any events applicable to any Collateral which are registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, (ii) the Pledgee
gives the Pledgor reasonable notice of the occurrence of any events, of which the Pledgee has received actual knowledge, as to any securities which are in bearer form or are not registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee (the
Pledgor agreeing to give the Pledgee reasonable notice of the occurrence of any events applicable to any securities in the possession of the Pledgee of which the Pledgor have received knowledge), and (iii) (a) the Pledgee endeavors to take
such action with respect to any of the events as the Pledgor may reasonably and specifically request in writing in sufficient time for such action to be evaluated and taken or (b) if the Pledgee reasonably determines that the action requested
might adversely affect the value of the Collateral, the collection of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise prejudice the interests of the Pledgee, the Pledgee gives reasonable notice to the Pledgor that any such requested action will not be taken
and if the Pledgee makes such determination or if the Pledgor fails to make such timely request, the Pledgee takes such other action as it deems advisable in the circumstances. Except as hereinabove specifically set forth, the Pledgee shall have no
further obligation to ascertain the occurrence of, or to notify the Pledgor with respect to, any events and shall not be deemed to assume any such further obligation as a result of the establishment by the Pledgee of any internal procedures with
respect to any Collateral in its possession. Except for any claims, causes of action or demands arising out of the Pledgee’s failure to perform its agreements set forth in this Section, the Pledgor releases the Pledgee from any claims, causes
of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Agreement, the Collateral and/or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Pledgee with respect thereto, and the Pledgor hereby agrees to hold the Pledgee harmless from
and with respect to any and all such claims, causes of action and demands. 
 15. Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby appoints the
Pledgee to act during the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period) as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing
any instrument that the Pledgee reasonably may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge
Period), the Pledgee shall have the right and power (a) upon application of any Collateral (including, during such Extended Pledge Period, any Retained Collateral) to satisfy a Secured Obligation, to receive, endorse and collect all checks and
other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or other distribution payable in respect of such Collateral (or Retained Collateral) or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, and
(b) to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral (or Retained Collateral); provided, that the Pledgee shall provide written notice to the Pledgor
reasonably prior to taking any such action under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). 
 16. Further Assurances. The Pledgor
shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of the Pledgee, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Pledgee such further instruments and documents and take and cause to be taken such further actions as may
be necessary or 

  
 Exhibit H-7 

 
proper in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement. 

17. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising, any of its
options, powers, rights or remedies hereunder, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other option, power, right or remedy. 

18. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder, grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations
of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Contribution Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto,
(b) any change in any term of all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, the Contribution Agreement or any other agreement or instrument or (c) any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement. 

19. Expenses. Pledgor agrees to pay the Pledgee all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Pledgee (including reasonable expenses for
legal services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any provisions of this Agreement. 
 20. End of Pledge Period;
Return of Collateral. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Pledge Period” means the period beginning on the date
hereof and ending upon the termination of the Survival Period; provided, that if any claim(s) asserted in any Claim Notices(s) delivered pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement remain outstanding at the time of
termination of the Survival Period (any such claim, an “Outstanding Claim”), the Pledgee shall have the right to retain, pending resolution of such Outstanding Claim(s) pursuant to Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution
Agreement, and at all times subject to the terms hereof, Collateral with a Value equal to the aggregate dollar amount of such Outstanding Claims (“Retained Collateral”) and, solely with respect to such Retained Collateral, the
Pledge Period shall be deemed to continue (an “Extended Pledge Period”) until the resolution pursuant to Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement, of such Outstanding Claim(s) to which such Retained Collateral relates.

 (b) Upon the termination of the Pledge Period (or the Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor shall be
entitled to, and the Pledgee promptly shall effect, the return to the Pledgor of all of the Collateral (and all other cash held as additional Collateral hereunder) that has not been used or applied toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in
accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood, for the sake of clarity, that all Collateral not so used or applied shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the Survival Date, except for any Retained Collateral,
which shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the date on which the Outstanding Claim(s) related thereto are resolved in accordance with Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement). The Pledgee shall take all
reasonable actions to effect and evidence the return of Collateral under this Section 20, including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to, and the return to the Pledgor of certificates representing the
Pledged Interests comprising, such Collateral. 
 (c) The assignment by the Pledgee to the Pledgor of such Collateral shall be without
representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgor’s release of the Pledgee and agreement to hold the Pledgee harmless set forth in the last sentence of Section 14
hereof shall survive any return of Collateral or termination of this Agreement.

obligations of the Pledgee hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall thereafter be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so delivered to such assignee/transferee. However, no such assignment or
transfer shall relieve such assignee/transferee of those duties and obligations of the Pledgee specified hereunder. 
 26. Benefit of
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Pledgor and the Pledgee and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, and all subsequent holders of the Secured Obligations.

30. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired. 

31. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as may be expressly provided or incorporated by reference herein, no provision of this
Agreement is intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any customer, affiliate, stockholder, partner, member, director, officer or employee of any party hereto

 CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 

THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (including all exhibits, hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as
of January 26, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) by and among Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Easterly Government Properties, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Michael P. Ibe, an individual, Courthouse Management, Inc., a California corporation, and Western Devcon Inc., a California corporation (collectively, on a joint and
several basis, the “Contributor”). 
 RECITALS 

A. The Operating Partnership desires to consolidate the ownership of the portfolio of properties set forth on Exhibit A-1 (each such
property a “Property” and together the “Properties”) through a series of transactions (the “Formation Transactions”) whereby the Operating Partnership will acquire direct fee interests in the
Properties (the “Property Interests”). 
 B. The Formation Transactions relate to the proposed initial public offering (the
“Public Offering”) of the common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company, which will operate as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust
(“REIT”) within the meaning of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. 

C. The Contributor owns all of the interests in the limited liability companies or limited partnerships set forth opposite the
Contributor’s name on Exhibit A-1 (each such entity in which the Contributor owns an interest, a “Partnership,” and collectively, the “Partnerships”), which Partnerships own, directly or indirectly, all
of the fee interests in the Properties. As used herein, “Partnership Agreement” means the respective partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or membership agreement, as applicable, under which each Partnership was
formed (including all amendments or restatements). 
 D. The Contributor desires to, and the Operating Partnership desires the Contributor
to, cause the Partnerships to contribute to the Operating Partnership the Properties clear of all Liens (as defined in Exhibit C) other than a Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Exhibit C), in exchange for common units of limited
partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to be delivered to it. 

E. The Contributor acknowledges that, subject to the terms of Article 5, the Operating Partnership may decide that, rather than
acquiring all of the direct fee interests in all of the Properties from the applicable Partnership, that the Operating Partnership shall acquire all of the Contributor’s right, title and interest, as a partner or member in each of the
Partnerships, including, without limitation, all of its voting rights and interests in the capital, profits and losses of such Partnerships or any property distributable therefrom, constituting all of its interests in and to such Partnerships (such
right, title and interest in and to the Partnerships are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Partnership Interests”), in either case free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances (a “Subsidiary
Contribution”); and the Contributor desires to give the Operating Partnership the right, in the Operating Partnership’s sole discretion, to engage in any Subsidiary Contribution on the terms and conditions described herein without the
need to seek any further consent or action of the Contributor, and will give hereby irrevocable consents as set forth in Section 5.1 hereof. 

F. As a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Contributor desires to direct the Operating Partnership to issue
certain of the OP Units as set forth on Exhibit D, and (i) for the 

  
 1 

 
Operating Partnership to enter into a tax protection agreement with the Contributor, which agreement shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Tax
Protection Agreement”), pursuant to which (x) the Operating Partnership will agree not to enter into certain taxable dispositions of the Properties for eight (8) years, and (y) the Operating Partnership will agree to use the
“traditional method” for purposes of making allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to the Properties and (ii) for the Company to enter into a registration rights agreement in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Operating Partnership is willing to accommodate the foregoing by issuing such OP Units to the Contributor as set forth on Exhibit D and entering into the
Tax Protection Agreement and the Company is willing to accommodate the foregoing by entering into the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 G.
The parties acknowledge that the Operating Partnership’s (i) acquisition of the Properties (directly or indirectly, as the case may be), the Contributed Assets and the Assumed Agreements (each as defined in Section 1.2), and
(ii) assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.4 below), is part of the concurrent consummation of the Formation Transactions and done in connection with the Public Offering. It is understood that the Operating
Partnership expects to acquire in the Formation Transactions the additional properties, directly or indirectly, indicated on Exhibit A-2 hereto, and shall acquire interests in additional properties in the Formation Transactions. 

H. The parties acknowledge that in connection with the Formation Transactions and in consideration of the receipt of the Total Consideration
(as defined in Section 1.7 herein), the Contributor, pursuant to this Agreement, is making certain representations, warranties and covenants to the Operating Partnership and the Company, as more particularly set forth in this Agreement.

 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual undertakings set forth below, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 TERMS OF AGREEMENT 

ARTICLE 1. 
 CONTRIBUTION OF
PROPERTIES 
 AND EXCHANGE FOR PARTNERSHIP UNITS 

Section 1.1 Intentionally Omitted. 

Section 1.2 Contribution of Properties and Other Assets. 

(a) At the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2 herein) and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the
Contributor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver (or cause the Partnership that directly owns the fee interest in the Property to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver, as applicable) to the Operating Partnership, and
the Operating Partnership shall acquire and accept, (i) all of the Contributor’s right, title and interest in and to the Properties, and (ii) all right, title and interest held directly or indirectly by the Contributor, if any, in

connection with the operation or maintenance of the Properties; excluding, however, all fixtures, furniture, furnishings, apparatus and fittings, equipment, machinery, appliances, building supplies, tools, and other items of personal property owned
by tenants, subtenants, guests, invitees, employees, easement holders, service contractors and other Persons who own any such property located on the Properties) related to such Properties, if any, (y) all intangible personal property now or
hereafter used in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management or occupancy of such Properties, if any (the “Intangible Property,” and together with the Fixtures and Personal Property, the “Contributed
Assets”), and (z) all agreements and arrangements related to such Properties, if any, to which the Contributor is a party, directly or indirectly, 

  
 2 

 
including without limitation, (1) all leases, licenses, tenancies, possession agreements and occupancy agreements with tenants of such Properties (“Leases”), if any,
(2) all service, equipment, franchise, operating, management, parking, supply, utility and maintenance agreements relating to any such Properties (“Service Contracts”), if any, and (3) those certain agreements listed on
Schedule 1.2 (including without limitation, all Leases and Service Contracts listed on Schedule 1.2) (all such agreements and arrangements, collectively, the “Assumed Agreements”), and in each case, free and clear of
any and all Liens, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Exhibit C). In connection with a Subsidiary Contribution, the contribution of the Contributed Assets and the Assumed Agreements, if any, and the assumption of all
obligations thereunder, shall be evidenced by the Contribution and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Contribution and Assumption Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties expressly acknowledge and agree that all agreements and arrangements related to such Properties, if any, which are not Assumed Agreements shall not be contributed, transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered to the Operating Partnership
pursuant to this Agreement, and the Operating Partnership shall not have any rights or obligations with respect thereto. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 5.1, in the event that the Operating Partnership shall elect, in its sole discretion, to engage in a Subsidiary Contribution, at the Closing (and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement), the Contributor
shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Operating Partnership, absolutely and unconditionally, and free and clear of all Liens, all of its right, title and interest to the Partnership Interests, including all of the
Contributor’s rights and interests to the Partnerships and all rights to indemnification in favor of the Contributor under the agreements pursuant to which the Contributor or its affiliates acquired the Partnership Interests transferred
pursuant to this Agreement, if any. The contribution of the Partnership Interests shall be evidenced by a Contribution and Assumption Agreement. The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be
required by each relevant Partnership Agreement and the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, the contemplated form of which is attached hereto as Appendix D (the “OP Agreement”),
or as reasonably requested by the Operating Partnership in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. The Operating Partnership agrees to promptly provide the Contributor with a copy of any proposed changes to the OP Agreement from the
form attached hereto as Appendix D. Additionally, the Contributor, the Operating Partnership and the Company agree that, from and after the Closing, the Contributor shall no longer be a Member or, if applicable, a Managing Member of any
Partnership, and after the Closing shall have no obligations or responsibilities as a Member or Managing Member, as applicable, under any Partnership Agreement. 

Section 1.3 Intentionally Omitted 

Section 1.4 Assumed Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the
Operating Partnership shall assume from the Contributor (or acquire the Properties subject to) and thereafter pay, perform or discharge in accordance with their terms only the liabilities of the Contributor listed on Schedule 1.4, if any (the
“Assumed Liabilities”). 
 Section 1.5 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
expressly acknowledge and agree that the Operating Partnership shall not assume or agree to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Excluded Liabilities (as defined in Exhibit C) other than the Assumed Liabilities, and such Excluded
Liabilities shall not be contributed, transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered to the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, and the Operating Partnership shall not have any rights or obligations with respect thereto.

(a) Each Property is encumbered with certain financing as set forth on Schedule 1.6 (each an “Existing Loan” and
collectively the “Existing Loans”). Such notes, loan agreements, deeds of trust and all other documents or instruments evidencing or securing such Existing Loans, including any financing statements, and any amendments, modifications
and assignments of the foregoing, shall be referred to, collectively, as the “Existing Loan Documents.” Each Existing Loan shall be considered a 

  
 3 

 
“Permitted Encumbrance” for purposes of this Agreement. With respect to each Existing Loan, the Operating Partnership shall assume the mortgage loan encumbering the real property
located at 1425 Chatham Parkway, Savannah, Georgia (the “Savannah Loan”), provided that the Operating Partnership shall have obtained any necessary consents from the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust related to such Existing
Loan prior to Closing, and as to the other Existing Loans at its election shall either (i) assume the Existing Loan at the Closing, provided that the Operating Partnership shall have obtained any necessary consents from the holder of each
mortgage or deed of trust related to such Existing Loan (in each case a “Lender” and, collectively with the lender under the Savannah Loan, the “Lenders”) prior to Closing, and take title to the applicable Property
subject to the lien of the applicable Existing Loan Documents or (ii) otherwise cause the Existing Loan to be refinanced or repaid in connection with the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of the Savannah Loan or if the
Operating Partnership elects to proceed under clauses (i) of this sentence with respect to an Existing Loan, the Operating Partnership may nonetheless, at its sole discretion, thereafter cause such Existing Loan to be refinanced or repaid after
the Closing. From and after the Effective Date, the Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to, confidentially or otherwise, facilitate, within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date, the
consent of the Lenders to the Operating Partnership’s assumption of the Savannah Loan and those Existing Loans which the Operating Partnership elects to assume at the Closing, and all other Approvals (as hereinafter defined). The Contributor
hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts along with the Operating Partnership in seeking to obtain approval of the assumption of the Savannah Loan and any Existing Loan which the Operating Partnership elects to assume or in beginning the
process for any refinancing or a payoff of an Existing Loan (such as, without limitation, requesting a payoff statement from the holder(s) of such Existing Loan), as applicable; provided, however, that the Contributor shall not be obligated to incur
any out-of-pocket costs or other material costs in performing such obligations. In addition, at or before the Closing, the Operating Partnership and the Contributor shall have caused, as a condition to the right of the Operating Partnership to
assume an Existing Loan, the Lender related to such Existing Loan which the Operating Partnership intends to assume in connection with the Closing to have released the Contributor and its affiliates from any liability pursuant to any recourse
obligations, guarantees, indemnification agreements, letters of credit posted as security or other similar obligations. 
 (b) In connection
with the assumption of an Existing Loan at the Closing or refinancing or payoff of an Existing Loan at the Closing, as applicable, the Operating Partnership shall bear and be responsible for any title costs, assumption fee, prepayment premium or
defeasance cost assessed by the applicable Lender and associated with such assumption, refinancing or payoff prior to maturity, as applicable, and any other reasonable fee, charge, legal fees, cost or expense incurred by or on behalf of the
Contributor in connection therewith (collectively, “Existing Loan Fees”), and subject to Section 3.5, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Contributor and its affiliates from and against any liability under the
Existing Loans arising from and after the Closing (including by reason of the failure to have obtained any necessary consents from each applicable Lender prior to Closing) and any Existing Loan Fees. Any Existing Loan Fees associated with an
Existing Loan shall be calculated solely with respect to such Existing Loan and shall not be aggregated or combined with any Existing Loan Fees associated with any other Existing Loan. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Operating
Partnership from reducing or increasing the indebtedness secured by the Properties below or above the amount outstanding on the Existing Loans in connection with any refinancing which may occur concurrently with or after Closing. The indemnity set
forth in this Section 1.6(a) shall survive Closing. 
 Section 1.7 Consideration and Exchange of Equity. The
Operating Partnership shall, in exchange for the Properties (or, if applicable, the Partnership Interests), the Contributed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Assumed Agreements, transfer to the Contributor the number of OP Units as determined
on, and allocated among such persons or entities as set forth in, Exhibit D (each such amount being such person’s or entity’s “Total Consideration”). The OP Units issued to the Contributor shall be

  
 4 

 
evidenced by certificates relating to such OP Units (the “OP Unit Certificates”). The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may
be required by the relevant Partnership Agreements, the OP Agreement and/or the organizational documents of the Company in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 1.8 Tax Treatment. 

(a) Any transfer, assignment and exchange by the Contributor effectuated pursuant to this Agreement shall, (i) to the extent made in
exchange for OP Units, constitute a “Capital Contribution” by the Contributor to the Operating Partnership pursuant to Article 4 of the OP Agreement and is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of the Code, and (ii) to the
extent made in exchange for cash, constitute a taxable exchange by the Contributor for federal income tax purposes. 
 (b) The Contributor
(including any transferor in connection with a Subsidiary Contribution, if any, as provided hereunder) and the Operating Partnership agree to the intended Tax treatment described in this Section 1.8, and the Operating Partnership and the
Contributor shall file their respective Tax Returns consistent with the above-described transaction structures, unless otherwise required by applicable law. 

Section 1.9 Allocation of Total Consideration. The Total Consideration shall be allocated among the Properties as set forth
in Annex A to Exhibit I hereto. The Operating Partnership and the Contributor agree to (i) be bound by the allocation, (ii) act in accordance with the allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all tax
returns and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto and (iii) take no position and cause their affiliates that they control to take no position inconsistent with the allocation for income tax purposes,
unless otherwise required by applicable law. 
 Section 1.10 Term of Agreement. If the Closing does not occur by
June 30, 2015 (the “Termination Date”), this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and shall be of no further force and effect and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Contributor shall have any further obligations
hereunder except as specifically set forth herein.

each Property, and being deemed to be obligated to pay all operating expenses of each Property (but specifically excluding any Excluded Liabilities which shall remain the responsibility of the Contributor), with respect to such day, and the
Contributor being deemed to be entitled to all revenue of each Property, and being deemed to be obligated to pay all operating expenses of each Property, prior to such day; provided, that such revenue and expenses attributable to the

With respect to each Property, such prorated items shall include the following: 
 (i) All rents and any other income with respect to

(ii) Taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) levied against such Property (it being
understood that if any Taxes or assessments relating to the Property are payable in installments, then the installment for the period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated, with the Operating Partnership responsible for the payment of any
amounts attributable after the Closing and the Contributor responsible for the payment of amounts attributable to pre-Closing periods); 

(iii) Utility charges for which the applicable Partnership is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned as of the Determination
Date on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to the Determination Date (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Determination Date) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility; 

(iv) All amounts payable with respect to Assumed Liabilities in effect as of the Determination Date;

pursuant to any Existing Loan for such Property, which shall be transferred to the Operating Partnership at the Closing;

(viii) Any accrued interest on any Existing Loan for such Property. 

(b) Specific Calculation of Prorations and Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.6(a) above, with
respect to each Property, the following shall apply: 

  
 11 

 (i) With respect to any refundable cash security deposits, letters of credit or other
credit enhancements held by or for the benefit of the applicable Partnership or the Contributor under any applicable Assumed Agreements and Existing Loans which are assumed by the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Security
Deposits”) for such Property, the Contributor shall, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either cause to be delivered to the Operating Partnership any such refundable cash Security Deposits (not including interest accounts, impound
accounts, escrow accounts and other reserves maintained pursuant to any Existing Loan for such Property, which shall be addressed in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(vi) above) or credit to the account of the Operating Partnership the
total amount of such refundable cash Security Deposits (in each case, to the extent such refundable cash Security Deposits have not been applied against delinquent rents or other obligations as provided in the Assumed Agreements and in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement) against the Contributor’s Total Consideration. To the extent required, (A) to the extent transferrable, all non-cash Security Deposits shall be transferred to the Operating Partnership by appropriate
transfer documentation; and (B) if not transferable, the Contributor shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the applicable Partnership to) request the party obligated under the applicable non-cash Security Deposit (e.g., the tenant, if the
Assumed Agreement is a lease for which the tenant has delivered a letter of credit to the applicable Partnership) to replace the same so that it inures in favor of the Operating Partnership, and, in the event any such replacement non-cash Security
Deposit is not delivered to the Operating Partnership by Closing, the Operating Partnership shall diligently pursue such replacement after Closing and the Contributor shall take all reasonable action, as directed by the Operating Partnership, in
connection with the liquidation of any such non-cash Security Deposits for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable Assumed Agreement. The Operating Partnership shall pay all fees and charges, if any, in connection with the
Contributor’s compliance with the immediately preceding sentence. Additionally, the Operating Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold the Contributor harmless from any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense arising out of any such action
taken by the Contributor at the direction of the Operating Partnership in connection with the liquidation of any such non-cash Security Deposits for which a replacement has not been delivered to the Operating Partnership at or prior to Closing, and
such indemnification shall survive the Closing. From and after the Determination Date, the Contributor shall not permit the application of any Security Deposits against any delinquent rents or other obligations under the Assumed Agreements without
the approval of the Operating Partnership, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; 
 (ii) The Contributor shall cause all
delinquent real estate Taxes and assessments with respect to such Property to be paid at or before the Determination Date, together with any interest, penalties or other fees related to any delinquent Taxes. In determining prorations relating to
non-delinquent taxes, the Operating Partnership shall be credited with an amount equal to the real estate taxes and assessments for such Property applicable to the period prior to the Determination Date against the Contributor’s Total
Consideration, to the extent such amount has not been actually paid prior to the Determination Date. In the event that any real estate taxes or assessments related to such Property applicable to the period after the Determination Date have been paid
prior to the Determination Date, the Contributor shall be entitled to a credit for such amount. In connection with the re-proration of real estate taxes and assessments for which a credit was given or a proration was made on the Determination Date,
the applicable parties shall adjust the differences between them promptly upon demand being made therefor by either the Contributor or the Operating Partnership. If, after the Determination Date, any additional real estate taxes or assessments
applicable to the period prior to the Determination Date are levied for any reason, including back assessments or escape assessments, then the Contributor shall pay all such additional amounts. If, after the Determination Date, the Contributor or
the Operating Partnership receives any property tax refunds regarding such Property relating to a period prior to the Determination Date, then that portion of the refunds related to a period prior to the Determination Date that is required to be
refunded to any tenant of such Property shall be delivered to or retained by, as the case may be, the Operating Partnership for the purpose of making such refund payments with the 

  
 12 

 
remaining portion of such refunds retained by or delivered to, as the case may be, the Contributor. The Operating Partnership shall pay all supplemental Taxes resulting from the change in
ownership and reassessment occurring as the result of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (iii) Prior to the Closing, the
Contributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute and pursue through completion each real property tax assessment appeal for any Property that is pending as of the Effective Date (an “Existing Appeal”); provided
that no such Existing Appeal shall be settled or concluded by the Contributor without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Following the Closing, the Contributor may not prosecute any
Existing Appeal or any other appeal of the real property tax assessment for any Property for and Tax year, but the Contributor shall reasonably cooperate with the Operating Partnership in connection with each such appeal and the collection of any
related award or refund (provided that the Contributor shall not be obligated to incur any material out-of-pocket costs or other material costs in doing so). Any award, refund or other amounts payable in connection with any such appeal shall be paid
directly to the Operating Partnership by the applicable authorities, and shall be distributed as follows: first, to reimburse the Operating Partnership for its actual costs incurred in connection with the appeal; and second, the balance shall be
prorated and otherwise handled in accordance with Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(b)(ii) above; 
 (iv) Charges referred to in
Section 2.6(a)(iii) which are payable by any tenant of such Property directly to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and the Operating Partnership shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and the Operating
Partnership shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of such charges; 
 (v) The Operating Partnership
shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities with respect to such Property to the name of the Operating Partnership as of Determination Date, where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies, and shall provide
the Contributor with written evidence of the transfer at or prior to the Determination Date. The Contributor shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Determination Date; 

(vi) All rents and other income which are allocable to the period from and after the Determination Date shall be apportioned to the
Operating Partnership as and when collected. Any rent or other income from a tenant at a Property which, as of the Closing, is unpaid or delinquent with reference to the Determination Date shall not be prorated at the Closing, and any such rent or
other income collected by Contributor or the Operating Partnership after the Determination Date shall be delivered as follows: (a) if the Contributor collects any such unpaid or delinquent rent or other income from a Property which pertains to
the period prior to the Determination Date, the Contributor shall retain such rents, (b) if the Operating Partnership collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from a Property which pertains to periods prior to the Determination Date, the
Operating Partnership shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to the Contributor any such rent which the Contributor is entitled to hereunder relating to any period prior to the Determination Date, (c) if the
Contributor received any rent after the Determination Date which is not applicable to a period prior to the Determination Date, all such amounts shall be immediately paid over to the Operating Partnership and applied by the Operating Partnership as
provided in this Section 2.6(b)(vi) below, and the Contributor shall, if the Operating Partnership requires and such notice is permitted under the terms of the Leases, send notice to tenants directing that rent be paid to an address or
bank account controlled by the Operating Partnership. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership agree that all rent received by the Operating Partnership or the Contributor from and after the Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rent, if
any, and then to current rent, in the order of maturity (i.e., first to the longest outstanding accrued unpaid obligation). In the event there shall be any rents or other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior to the
Determination Date, do not become due and payable until after the Closing or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after the Closing (such as rent from a government entity, which is paid in

  
 13 

 
arrears, and year end common area expense reimbursements), then any rents or charges of such type received by the Operating Partnership or its agents or the Contributor or its agents subsequent
to the Closing shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between the Contributor and the Operating Partnership as of the Determination Date and the Contributor’s portion thereof shall be remitted
promptly to the Contributor by the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that with respect to any lump sum payment to be paid after the Determination Date that specifically relates to actions performed by the Contributor (directly or indirectly
through a Partnership) prior to Closing (e.g., payments on account of tenant improvements, build-outs, change orders and the like), the Operating Partnership shall deliver such lump sum payments to the Contributor within fifteen
(15) days after receipt hereof. The Operating Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to collect all rents (including Additional Rent and any such delinquent rents) in the usual course of the Operating
Partnership’s operation of the Properties. The Operating Partnership may not waive any rents (including Additional Rent or delinquent rent) nor modify any Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which
the Contributor is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining the Contributor’s written consent. From and after the Determination Date, the Contributor may not pursue any action to collect any rents (including
Additional Rent) due for periods prior to the Determination Date from any current tenant of a Property; provided, that with respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts (including Additional Rent) or other rights of any kind respecting tenants
who are no longer tenants of a Property as of the Determination Date, the Contributor shall retain all rights relating thereto and shall not be restricted hereby. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not restrict the Contributor’s
pursuit of claims against tenants who are no longer tenants of a Property as of the Determination Date; 
 (vii) With respect to any
year-end reconciliations of Additional Rent (if applicable) under the Leases for such Property, the Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall cooperate to complete such reconciliations as soon as possible after the Determination Date in
accordance with time periods set forth in such Leases, with the Contributor being deemed to be responsible for all amounts owing to the tenants under the Leases and being deemed to be entitled to all amounts payable by tenants under the Leases with
respect to periods prior to the Determination Date, and with the Operating Partnership being deemed to be responsible for amounts owing to tenants under the Leases and being deemed to be entitled to amounts payable by tenants under the Leases with
respect to periods from and after the Determination Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing reconciliation shall be made such that such reimbursements are allocated to the period in
which such reimbursable expenses were incurred; 
 (viii) With respect to such Property (and subject to the terms set forth in this
Section 2.6(b)(viii) below), the Contributor shall be responsible for any and all (a) Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined), and (b) expenses connected with or arising out of the negotiation, execution and delivery
of any Leases executed or signed prior to the Effective Date for such Property, including all Leasing Commissions (as hereinafter defined) related thereto and any legal fees or costs in connection therewith. The term “Tenant Inducement
Costs” shall mean any payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant
improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and/or moving, design, refurbishment and other allowances. The term “Leasing Commissions” means any leasing or brokerage commissions payable to a leasing agent or broker and connected with or
arising out of the negotiation, execution and delivery of a Lease. 
 (c) Prorations Not Able to be Calculated on the Determination
Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount with respect to any Property which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Determination Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable
estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration as soon thereafter as the 

  
 14 

 
precise amounts can be ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, the parties shall prepare and execute a final proration statement, which such statement shall be
conclusively deemed to be accurate and final. 
 (d) Adjustments for Existing Loans. To the extent that, on the Determination Date,
the Operating Partnership’s good faith determination of the principal amount of any Existing Loan to be outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Property is greater than or less than the principal amount set forth
on Schedule 1.6 for such Property, then (i) if such amount is greater than the applicable amount set forth on Schedule 1.6, the Operating Partnership shall be credited with an amount equal to the increase in such outstanding
principal balance against the Contributor’s Total Consideration, and (ii) if such amount is less than the applicable amount set forth on Schedule 1.6, the Contributor shall receive a credit to the Contributor’s Total
Consideration in an amount equal to the decrease in such outstanding principal balance, in either case in the manner described in Section 2.6(e) below. 

(e) Credits and Charges for Prorations and Adjustments. The net credit to or charge against the Contributor on account of the
prorations and adjustments to be made at Closing (based on prorations determined as of the Determination Date) or thereafter, as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be paid by either the Operating Partnership or the
Contributor, as applicable, in cash promptly following the determination of such amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6. 

(f) Determination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall mean the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 4.

(a) From the date hereof through the Closing, and except in connection with the Formation Transactions, the Contributor shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Operating Partnership:

 (ii) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, mortgage, pledge or encumber all or any portion of its

(i) Enter into (x) any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business with respect to the Property, nor (y) enter

consent); 
 (ii) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, mortgage, pledge or encumber (other than by Permitted
Encumbrances) any assets of such Partnership, except (A) liens for Taxes not delinquent, (B) purchase money security interests in the ordinary course of such Partnership’s business, and (C) mechanics’ liens being disputed by
such Partnership in good faith and by appropriate proceeding in the ordinary course of such Partnership’s business;

and among GSA, the Contributor (or applicable Partnership) and the Operating Partnership for each GSA Lease (a “Novation Agreement”). Further, the Contributor shall (i) for each deposit account where GSA delivers rents and
other amounts due under the GSA Leases (the “GSA Accounts”), execute and deliver at Closing an irrevocable, present and absolute assignment to the Operating Partnership of all deposits made into the GSA Accounts following the
Closing, in form and substance acceptable to the Operating Partnership; (ii) cooperate with the Operating Partnership and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each bank or financial institution where the GSA Accounts are established
(the “GSA Account Banks”) to execute account control agreements, in form and substance acceptable to the Operating Partnership, by and among the Contributor, the applicable Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the applicable
GSA Account Bank, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership shall have the exclusive right to make withdrawals from the GSA Accounts and to exercise any and all other rights and powers with respect to such GSA Accounts; and (iii) include in
the Pledge Agreement (to be provided at the Closing pursuant to Section 3.3 of Exhibit C) a provision, in form and substance acceptable to the Operating Partnership, pursuant to which the obligations of the Contributor under

Operating Partnership obtains a Novation Agreement for a GSA Lease in an amount equal to the number of OP Units pledged by the Contributor as set forth on Schedule 4.1(c) with respect to the GSA Lease where a Novation Agreement is obtained from the
GSA, and in all events shall be released to Contributor on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing if Contributor is in full compliance with the terms of Section 2.6(b)(vi) and this Section 4.1. 

(d) Promptly after Closing, for each of the GSA Leases and to the extent Novation Agreements were not obtained as of Closing, Contributor
shall cooperate with the Operating Partnership to obtain the execution by GSA of the Novation Agreement by and among GSA, the Contributor (or applicable Partnership) and the Operating Partnership for each such GSA Lease. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall survive Closing. 

Section 4.2 Tax Covenants. 

(a) The Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall provide each other with such cooperation and information relating to any of the
Partnership Interests or the Properties as the parties reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund, (ii) determining any liability for Taxes or a right to a Tax refund,
(iii) conducting or defending any proceeding in respect of Taxes, or (iv) performing Tax diligence, including with respect to the impact of this transaction on the Company’s Tax status as a REIT. Such reasonable cooperation shall
include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Operating Partnership shall promptly notify the

  
 20 

 
Contributor upon receipt by the Operating Partnership or any of its affiliates of notice of (i) any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments with respect to the income, properties or
operations of any of the Partnerships or with respect to any Property and (ii) any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments of the Operating Partnership or any of its affiliates, in each case which may
affect the liabilities for Taxes of the Contributor (or its owners) with respect to any tax period ending before or as a result of the Closing. The Contributor shall promptly notify the Operating Partnership in writing upon receipt by the
Contributor or any of its affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of any of the Partnerships or with respect to any Property that
may impact or otherwise effect the liability for Taxes of the Operating Partnership other than as a result of the Closing. Subject to Section 2.6(b)(iii), each of the Operating Partnership and the Contributor may participate at its own
expense in the prosecution of any claim or audit with respect to Taxes attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, provided, that the Contributor shall have the right to control the conduct of any such audit or
proceeding or portion thereof for which the Contributor (or its owners) has acknowledged liability (except as a partner of the Operating Partnership) for the payment of any additional Tax liability, and the Operating Partnership shall have the right
to control any other audits and proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Operating Partnership nor the Contributor may settle or otherwise resolve any such claim, suit or proceeding which could have an adverse Tax effect on the other
party or its affiliates (other than on the Contributor or any of its affiliates as a partner of the Operating Partnership) without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Contributor and the Operating
Partnership shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers with respect to the Partnerships and the Properties, and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the
extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate and until the final determination of any Tax in respect of such years. 

(b) The Operating Partnership shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Partnerships or their
subsidiaries which are due after the Closing Date. To the extent such returns relate to a period prior to or ending on the Closing Date, such Tax Returns (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amended tax returns) shall be prepared in a manner
consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable law. To the extent such Tax Returns relate to income taxes attributable to a period prior to or ending on the Closing Date, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the
due date (including extensions) for filing such returns, the Operating Partnership shall deliver such income Tax Returns to the Contributor for its review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld. The Operating
Partnership shall consider in good faith any comments from the Contributor. General and special real estate taxes and assessments for all tax years (or any portion thereof) prior to the Closing shall be paid by Contributor, including, without
limitation, all supplemental taxes. 
 (c) With respect to any Tax Return relating to Taxes attributable to a period prior to or ending on
the Closing Date, including the portion of any Straddle Period (as defined below) ending on the Closing Date, the Contributor shall remit to the Operating Partnership an amount equal to the tax liability due with respect to such Taxes. For any
taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be: (i) in the
case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such taxes for the immediately preceding
period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle
Period and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in the preceding clause (i) (such as franchise taxes and Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or 

  
 21 

 
imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on
the Closing Date (and for purposes hereof the tax years of any partnership or pass through entity in which the applicable Person owns a direct or indirect interest shall be deemed to close as of such date). 

(d) With respect to the built-in-gain on each Property that is contributed to the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement existing on
the date of the contribution of the Properties to the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the Contributor agree that the Operating Partnership shall use the “traditional method,” as described in Section 1.704-3(b) of
the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, to make allocations of taxable income and loss among the partners of the Operating Partnership. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall survive Closing. 

Section 4.3 Ownership Limit Waivers. The Contributor is aware that the Company intends to grant a waiver of the Ownership
Limit (as such term is defined in the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company, the form of which is attached hereto as Appendix B (the “Articles of Amendment and Restatement”)) to one or more parties who expect
to acquire Common Stock or OP Units that may subsequently be converted to Common Stock. 
 ARTICLE 5. 

WAIVERS AND CONSENTS 
 Each of the
releases and waivers enumerated in this Article 5 shall become effective only upon the Closing of the contribution and exchange of the Partnership Interests pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 herein. 

Section 5.1 Waiver of Rights Under Partnership Agreements; Consents With Respect to Partnership Interests. 

(a) As of the Closing, the Contributor waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits otherwise afforded to the Contributor under any
Partnership Agreement including, without limitation, any rights of appraisal, rights of first offer or first refusal, buy/sell agreements, and any right to consent to or approve of the sale or contribution by the other partners or members of each
Partnership of their Partnership Interests to the Operating Partnership, the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof and any and all notice provisions related thereto. The Contributor acknowledges that the agreements contained herein
and the transactions contemplated hereby and any actions taken in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby may conflict with, and may not have been contemplated by, certain Partnership Agreements or other agreements among one or more
holders of such Partnership Interests or one or more of the partners of any such Partnership. With respect to each Partnership and each Property in which the Partnership Interests represent a direct or indirect interest, the Contributor expressly
gives all Consents (and any consents necessary to authorize the proper parties in interest to give all Consents) and Waivers it is entitled to give that are necessary or desirable to (i) facilitate any Conveyance Action (as hereinafter defined)
relating to such Partnership or Property, (ii) cause the Partnership to have authority to transfer the Partnership Interests or Properties to the Operating Partnership, and (iii) receive OP Units directly from the Partnership if the
Partnership or one or more of the Partnership’s subsidiaries transfers assets or interests directly to the Operating Partnership (rather than the Contributor contributing its or his Partnership Interests hereunder) and to reduce the
consideration otherwise payable by the Operating Partnership hereunder as a result of such direct transfer by the 

  
 22 

 
Partnership or its subsidiaries on account of the Contributor receiving any amount reduced hereunder from such Partnership or its subsidiaries making such direct transfer. In addition, if the
transactions contemplated hereby occur, this Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to any Partnership Agreement to the extent the terms herein conflict with the terms thereof, including without limitation, terms with respect to allocations,
distributions and the like. In the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not occur, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be or construed as an amendment or modification of, or commitment of any kind to amend or modify, the
Partnership Agreements, which shall remain in full force and effect without modification. 
 (b) As used herein, the term
“Conveyance Action” means, with respect to any Partnership having a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Property, (i) the transfer, conveyance or agreement to convey by a partner thereof or by any holder of an indirect
interest therein (whether or not such partner or holder is the Contributor hereunder) directly, by Subsidiary Contribution or otherwise of its direct or indirect interest in such Partnership or Property to the Operating Partnership or the Company at
Closing, if elected by the Operating Partnership, provided, however, that a Subsidiary Contribution shall not materially and adversely affect the Contributor in any way, including, without limitation, by impacting the tax treatment to the
Contributor, without the prior written consent of the Contributor which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) the entering into by any such partner or holder any agreement relating to (x) the formation of the Operating
Partnership or the Company, or (y) the direct or indirect acquisition by the Operating Partnership or the Company of any such direct or indirect interest or (iii) the taking by any such partner or holder of any action necessary or
desirable to facilitate any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the following (provided that the same are taken in furtherance of the foregoing): any sale or distribution to any Person of a direct or indirect interest in such
Partnership or Property, the entering into any agreement with any Person that grants to such Person the right to purchase a direct or indirect interest in such Partnership or Property, and the giving of the Consents and Waivers contained in this
Section or consents or waivers similar thereto in form or purpose. 
 (c) As used herein, the term “Consents” means, with
respect to any such Partnership or Property, any consent necessary or desirable under any Partnership Agreement or any other agreement among all or any of the holders of interests therein or any other agreement relating thereto or referred to
therein (i) to cause the Partnership to have authority to permit any and all Conveyance Actions relating to such Partnership or Property or to amend any such Partnership Agreement and/or other agreements so that no provision thereof prohibits,
restricts, impairs or interferes with any Conveyance Action (such amendments to include, without limitation, the deletion of provisions which cause a default under such agreement if interests therein are transferred for cash), (ii) to admit the
Operating Partnership as a substitute member or partner of such Partnership upon the Operating Partnership’s acquisition of the Partnership Interests therein, respectively, and to adopt such amendment as is necessary or desirable to effect such
admission, (iii) to adopt any amendment to the applicable Partnership Agreement as may be reasonably be deemed desirable by the Operating Partnership, either simultaneously with or immediately prior to the acquisition of any interest therein,
and (iv) to continue such Partnership following the transfer of interest therein to the Operating Partnership. 
 (d) As used herein,
the term “Waivers” means, with respect to a Partnership or a Property in which the Partnership Interests represent a direct or indirect interest, the waiving of any and all rights that the Contributor may have with respect to, and
(to the extent controlled by the Contributor) that any such other Person may have with respect to, or that may accrue to the Contributor or such other controlled Person upon the occurrence of, a Conveyance Action relating to such Partnership or
Property, including, but not limited to, the following rights: rights of notice, rights to response periods, rights to purchase the direct or indirect interests of another partner in such Partnership or Property or to sell the Contributor’s or
other Person’s direct or indirect interest therein to another partner, rights to sell the Contributor’s or other Person’s direct or indirect interest therein at a price other than as provided herein,

  
 23 

 
or rights to prohibit, limit, invalidate, otherwise restrict or impair any such Conveyance Action or to cause a termination or dissolution of such Partnership because of such Conveyance Action.
The Contributor further covenants that it will take no action to enjoin, or seek damages resulting from, any Conveyance Action by any holder of a direct or indirect interest in a Partnership or a Property in which the Partnership Interests represent
a direct or indirect interest. 
 (e) The Waivers and Consents contained in this Section shall terminate upon the termination of this
Agreement, except as to transactions completed hereunder prior to termination.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP SHALL ACCEPT THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS, PROPERTIES AND CONTRIBUTED ASSETS (AS APPLICABLE) “AS IS, WHERE IS,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS (LATENT AND APPARENT), AND (Z) THE OPERATING
PARTNERSHIP FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS, PROPERTIES AND CONTRIBUTED ASSETS (AS APPLICABLE) MADE BY THE CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY AFFILIATE,

 THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONTRIBUTOR WOULD NOT HAVE
AGREED TO CONTRIBUTE THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS, PROPERTIES AND CONTRIBUTED ASSETS (AS APPLICABLE) TO THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TOTAL

AGREEMENT WITH THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP’S COUNSEL AND UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE AND EFFECT THEREOF. 
 THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THIS ARTICLE 6 SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE CLOSING. 
 IN RECOGNITION OF THE OPPORTUNITY AFFORDED TO THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP TO
INVESTIGATE ANY AND ALL ASPECTS OF THE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS, PROPERTIES AND CONTRIBUTED ASSETS AS THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP DETERMINES TO BE APPROPRIATE, THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREES AT THE CLOSING TO RELEASE AND WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE
CONTRIBUTOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTIES, AS FOLLOWS: 
 (a) EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF ANY SURVIVING REPRESENTATIONS, AND THE
WARRANTIES, INDEMNITIES, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS EACH HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND ACQUIT THE CONTRIBUTOR OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS,
OBLIGATIONS, 

  
 25 

 
LIABILITIES, INDEBTEDNESS, BREACHES OF CONTRACT, BREACHES OF DUTY OR ANY RELATIONSHIP, ACTS, OMISSIONS, MISFEASANCE, MALFEASANCE, CAUSE OF CAUSES OF ACTION, DEBTS, SUMS OF MONEY, ACCOUNTS,

WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY MATTERS WHICH ARISE OUT OR RELATE TO THE PRESENCE AT, UNDER, ON OR NEAR THE PROPERTIES OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR ANY HAZARDOUS, TOXIC OR RADIOACTIVE WASTES, SUBSTANCES, OR MATERIALS, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW, WHY OR BY
REASON OF WHAT FACTS, WHETHER HERETOFORE, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, OR WHICH COULD, MIGHT OR MAY BE CLAIMED TO EXIST, OF WHATEVER KIND OR NAME, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, LIQUIDATED OR UNLIQUIDATED, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHTS OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP OR ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. 
 (b) THE OPERATING

GIVEN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT ACCORDING TO EACH OF ITS EXPRESS PROVISIONS. CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 PROVIDES: 
 “A GENERAL
RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 Section 6.2 Grant of Power of Attorney. The Contributor hereby irrevocably appoints the Operating Partnership (or its
designee) and any successor thereof from time to time (such Operating Partnership or designee or any such successor of any of them acting in his, her or its capacity as attorney-in-fact pursuant hereto, the “Attorney-In-Fact”) as
the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of each of the Contributor and the Partnerships, to act in the name, place and stead of each of the Contributor and the Partnerships to provide information to the Securities and Exchange Commission and
others about the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Power of Attorney”), provided, that the Attorney-in-Fact may not take any such action on behalf of the Contributor unless such action is in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1, and the Attorney-in-Fact has given the Contributor reasonable prior written notice (including by electronic means) to Michael P. Ibe and Mark

  
 26 

 
Bauer on behalf of the Contributor (email: mikeibe@westerndevconinc.com and mbauer@westerdevconinc.com) with a copy to David J. Dorne, Esq. (email: dorne@scmv.com) for each action to be so taken
by the Attorney-in-Fact. 
 The Power of Attorney and all authority granted hereby shall be coupled with an interest and therefore shall be
irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of the Contributor, and if any other such act or events shall occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact shall nevertheless be authorized and directed to complete all such transactions as if such other act or events had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof. The Contributor hereby agrees
that, at the request of Operating Partnership, it will promptly execute and deliver to the Operating Partnership a separate power of attorney on the same terms set forth in this Article 6, such execution to be witnessed and notarized, and in
recordable form (if necessary). The Contributor hereby authorizes the reliance of third parties on the Power of Attorney. 
 The Contributor
acknowledges that the Operating Partnership has, and any designee or successor thereof acting as Attorney-in-Fact may have, an economic interest in the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Operating Partnership hereby acknowledges that any information provided as Attorney-in-Fact pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.4. 

Section 6.3 Ratification; Third Party Reliance. The Contributor hereby ratifies and confirms that the Attorney-in-Fact shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the exercise of the powers granted unto it by the Contributor under this Article 6, and the Contributor authorizes the reliance of third parties on this Power of Attorney and waives its
rights, if any, as against any such third party for its reliance hereon. 
 ARTICLE 7. 

RISK OF LOSS 
 The risk of loss
relating to the Properties prior to the Pre-Closing shall be borne by the Contributor. If, prior to the Pre-Closing, (a) any Property is materially or totally destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or (b) any Property is
materially or totally taken by eminent domain or through condemnation proceedings, then the Operating Partnership may, at its option (such election to be made as soon as reasonably practicable following such occurrence and in any event prior to the
Pre-Closing), either: (i) amend this Agreement to the smallest extent necessary to exclude the destroyed, damaged or condemned Property (and the Partnership Interest applicable thereto, if any) in which event the Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect with respect to all other Partnership Interests and Properties; or (ii) elect to proceed with the acquisition of the Property (either directly or through the acquisition of the Partnership Interest), regardless of such
destruction, damage or condemnation as described above. The Contributor shall not have any obligation to repair or replace any such damage, destruction or taken property. Unless the Operating Partnership elects to exclude the Property or Properties
that are destroyed, damaged or condemned as described herein (in which case this sentence shall not apply), at the Closing (i) the Contributor shall pay or cause to be paid to the Operating Partnership any sums collected (directly or
indirectly) by the Contributor, if any, under any policies of insurance, if any, or award proceeds relating to such casualty or condemnation, if any, and otherwise assign to the Operating Partnership all rights (directly or indirectly) of the
Contributor to collect such sums as may then be uncollected (except to the extent required for collection costs or repairs by the Contributor prior to the Closing Date, and provided that the Contributor shall retain any insurance proceeds
attributable to lost rents or other items applicable to any period prior to the Determination Date, and all rights thereto); and (ii) the Contributor’s Total Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of any deductibles under the
applicable insurance policies. As used in this Article 7, “materially” destroyed, damaged or taken refers to any casualty loss or damage or any loss due to condemnation, in either case, to a Property or any portion thereof if
(x) the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to substantially the same condition which existed prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an 

  
 27 

 
architect or other qualified expert selected by the Contributor and reasonably approved by the Operating Partnership, or the amount of the proposed condemnation award, is equal to or greater than
ten percent (10%) of the Total Consideration for such Property, (y) such loss or damage would entitle tenants occupying more than ten percent (10%) of the total rentable square footage at such Property, in the aggregate, to terminate
their Leases. 
 ARTICLE 8. 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.1 Further Assurances. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall take such other actions and execute such
additional documents following the Closing as the other may reasonably request in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby. 

Section 8.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Section 8.3 Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the choice of laws provisions thereof. 

Section 8.4 Amendment; Waiver. Any amendment hereto shall be in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No waiver of any
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. 

Section 8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto and the agreements referred to in
Section 2.3 hereof constitute the entire agreement and supersede conflicting provisions set forth in all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, as the case may be. Exhibit C is incorporated in this Agreement by reference in its entirety, such that reference to this “Agreement” shall automatically include Exhibit C, and is subject to all of the
provisions of this Article 8. 
 Section 8.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be
enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation of law) by any party without
the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect, except that the Operating Partnership, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate. 

Section 8.7 Titles. The titles and captions of the Articles, Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and shall have no effect on the construction or meaning of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.8 Third
Party Beneficiary. Except as may be expressly provided or incorporated by reference herein, including, without limitation, the indemnification provisions hereof, no provision of this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to provide
or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any customer, affiliate, stockholder, partner, member, director, officer or employee of any party hereto or any other person or entity. 

Section 8.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is for any reason held to any
extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to
replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any
amendment, consent or agreement deemed necessary or desirable by the Operating Partnership to effect such replacement. 

Section 8.10 Reliance. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on tax advice or other
advice from the other party to this Agreement, and that it has or will consult with its own advisors. 

Section 8.11 Survival. It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that the representations, warranties
and covenants of the Contributor, the Operating Partnership and the Company set forth in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 3.7 of
Exhibit C. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be

  
 28 

 
deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing. 

Section 8.12 Notice. Any notice to be given hereunder by any party to the other shall be given in writing by either
(i) personal delivery, (ii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) facsimile transmission (provided such facsimile is followed by an original of such notice by mail or personal delivery as
provided herein), and any such notice shall be deemed communicated as of the date of delivery (including delivery by overnight courier, certified mail or facsimile). Mailed notices shall be addressed as set forth below, but any party may change the

 Section 8.13 Equitable Remedies; Limitation on Damages. The parties agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any federal or state court located in California (as to which the parties agree to submit to jurisdiction for the purpose of such
action), this being in addition 

  
 29 

 
to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to permit the Contributors to enforce
consummation of the Public Offering. It is further agreed that the Contributor shall not have any liability under or in connection with this Agreement if the Closing fails to occur, except that if the Closing fails to occur due to the
Contributor’s material breach of this Agreement, then the Operating Partnership’s and the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such default shall be to either (a) terminate this Agreement and obtain reimbursement from the
Contributor of the Operating Partnership’s and the Company’s actual out-of-pocket expenses paid in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in an amount not to exceed $6,000,000, it being understood that in
no event shall the Operating Partnership or the Company have a right to damages (except pursuant to clause (a) above) in such event, and that in such event no party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other hereunder, or
(b) specifically enforce this Agreement (it being understood that if the Operating Partnership and the Company proceed with the Closing then the Contributor shall not have any liability to the Operating Partnership or the Company in respect of
(and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Company shall make any claim, including a claim for indemnification under Section 3.2 of Exhibit C, based upon) any pre-Closing breach, default or other matter which was known to the
Operating Partnership or the Company as of Closing). 
 Section 8.14 Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby agree that, in
order to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of any disputes under this Agreement, each claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature, arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this
Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated by or related to this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties), including without limitation any claim based on contract, tort or statute, or the arbitrability of any claim hereunder (an
“Arbitrable Claim”), shall, subject to Section 8.13 above, be settled by final and binding arbitration conducted in San Francisco, California. The arbitrability of any Arbitrable Claims under this Agreement shall be
resolved in accordance with a two-step dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) involving, first, mediation before a retired judge from the JAMS panel, followed, if
necessary, by final and binding arbitration before the same, or if requested by either party, another JAMS panelist. Such dispute resolution process shall be confidential and shall be conducted in accordance with California Evidence Code
Section 1119. 
 (i) Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not resolved by an informal negotiation between the
parties within fifteen (15) days after either party receives written notice that a Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter shall be referred to the San Francisco, California office of JAMS, or any other office agreed to by the parties, for an
informal, non-binding mediation consisting of one or more conferences between the parties in which a retired judge will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims. The parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral
arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of mediators. In the event the parties cannot agree on a mediator, the Administrator of JAMS will appoint a mediator. The mediation process shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) the Arbitrable Claims are resolved, (ii) the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of resolution through mediation, or (iii) thirty (30) days have elapsed since the Arbitrable Claim was first scheduled for
mediation. 
 (ii) Arbitration. Should any Arbitrable Claims remain after the completion of the mediation process described
above, the parties agree to submit all remaining Arbitrable Claims to final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the then existing JAMS Arbitration Rules. Neither party nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence,
content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except as provided herein, the California Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings pursuant to this
subparagraph. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any substantive law other than the laws selected or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support
thereof. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

  
 30 

 (iii) Survivability. This dispute resolution process shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. The parties expressly acknowledge that by signing this Agreement, they are giving up their respective right to a jury trial.

 ARTICLE 2 — REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

OF CONTRIBUTOR 
 Except as set
forth in the Disclosure Schedule or the Prospectus, the Contributor represents and warrants to the Operating Partnership and the Company as set forth below in this Article 2, which 

  
 Exhibit C-3 

 
representations and warranties, are true and correct as of the date hereof and will (except to the extent expressly relating to a specified date) be true and correct as of the date of Closing:

 2.1 Organization; Authority; Qualification. The Contributor has been duly formed, and is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. The Contributor has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, each agreement contemplated hereby to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of its business or the character of its property make such qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Entity owned by the Contributor is duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing (to the extent applicable) under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and each such Entity has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is
qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its property make such qualification necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Contributor has made available to the Operating Partnership true and correct copies of the organizational documents of each Entity owned by the Contributor, with all amendments as in effect on the date of this Agreement (collectively,
the “Organizational Documents”). Schedule 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule lists each Entity owned by the Contributor, its jurisdiction of formation and each partner, member or other equity owner of such Entity as of the date
hereof. 
 2.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Contributor has been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary action of the Contributor and its members or partners. The Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Contributor pursuant to the Agreement constitutes, or
when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor, each enforceable against the Contributor in accordance with its terms, as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of
equitable principles. 
 2.3 Consents and Approvals. Except as shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date and as set
forth in Schedule 2.3 to the Disclosure Schedule, as of the date hereof, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or Governmental Entity (other than any Governmental Entity that is a tenant on a Property) is
required to be obtained by the Contributor or any Entity owned by the Contributor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals or
authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  
 2.4 Ownership of the Partnership
Interests; Contributed Assets. 
 Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, the Partnership Interests and
Properties listed on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Partnerships, the Entities and the Properties being contributed by the Contributor, and such interests are owned
(directly or indirectly) by the Contributor that is contributing the same pursuant to the Agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor is the sole owner of the Partnership Interests being
contributed by it, beneficially and of record, free and clear of any Liens of any nature and has full power and authority to convey the Partnership Interests, free and clear of any Liens, and, upon delivery of consideration for such Partnership
Interests as herein provided, the Operating Partnership will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of any Liens other than any liens arising through the Operating Partnership. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure
Schedule, there are no rights to purchase, subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights or preemptive rights 

  
 Exhibit C-4 

 
relating to the Partnership Interests to be contributed by the Contributor or any equity interest in any Entity that will be in effect as of the Closing. 

Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor or the relevant Entity, as applicable, is the sole
owner of the Contributed Assets, if any, and has full power and authority to convey the Contributed Assets, if any. Other than the Excluded Assets, the applicable Partnership Interests, Properties, Contributed Assets and Assumed Agreements
constitute all assets, rights, interests, and property interests owned by the Contributor related to the Properties. Other than the ownership interests listed on Schedule 2.4, no Entity in which the Contributor holds an interest to be
contributed hereunder holds any equity ownership interest in, or any note, stock or other security of, any other partnership, limited liability company or other entity. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4 to the Disclosure Schedule, no
person or entity holds any rights granted by the Contributor or any affiliate thereof to purchase or otherwise acquire all or any portion of the Properties (or interest therein) that will be in effect as of the Closing, including pursuant to any
purchase agreement, option, right of first offer, right of first refusal, gift or other agreement. 
 2.5 No Violation. Except as
shall have been cured to the satisfaction of the Operating Partnership, consented to or waived in writing by the Operating Partnership prior to the Closing Date or as set forth in Schedule 2.5 to the Disclosure Schedule, none of the
execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement, any agreement contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result
in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Operating Partnership of (A) the organizational documents, including the operating agreement, if
any, of the Contributor or any of the Entities in which the Contributor holds an interest to be contributed hereunder, (B) any agreement, document or instrument (other than any of the Existing Loan Documents as to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein) to which the Contributor is a party or by which the Contributor or any Entity in which the Contributor holds an interest to be contributed hereunder, or the Partnership Interests or the Contributed Assets to be
contributed thereby, are bound, or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or Governmental Entity or foreign, federal,
state, local or other law binding on the Contributor or the Entities in which the Contributor holds an interest to be contributed hereunder, or by which the Contributor, Entity or any of their assets or properties (including the Contributed Assets)
are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach, default or right would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

2.6 Non-Foreign Status. The Contributor is a United States person (as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), and is, therefore, not subject to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons, and is not subject to any state withholding requirements. The Contributor will
provide affidavits at the Closing to this effect as provided for in Section 2.3(e) of the Agreement. 
 2.7 Withholding. The
Contributor shall execute at Closing such certificates or affidavits reasonably necessary to document the inapplicability of any United States federal or state withholding provisions, including without limitation those referred to in
Section 2.6 above. If the Contributor fails to provide such certificates or affidavits or as the Operating Partnership otherwise determines is required by applicable law, the Operating Partnership may withhold a portion of any payments
otherwise to be made to the Contributor. To the extent amounts are so withheld by the Operating Partnership, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Contributor. 

  
 Exhibit C-5 

 2.8 Investment Purposes. The Contributor acknowledges its understanding that the offering
and issuance of OP Units to be acquired by it pursuant to the Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”) and that
the Operating Partnership’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Contributor contained herein. In furtherance thereof, the Contributor represents and
warrants to the Company and the Operating Partnership as follows: 
 2.8.1 Investment. The Contributor is acquiring OP Units solely
for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof. The Contributor agrees and acknowledges that it
will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (hereinafter, “Transfer”) any of the OP Units, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, (ii) counsel for the Contributor (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Operating Partnership, it being agreed that
David J. Dorne is acceptable to the Operating Partnership) shall have furnished the Operating Partnership with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Operating Partnership, to the effect that no such registration is
required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act, (iii) the Transfer is otherwise permitted by the OP Agreement or (iv) the pledge or hypothecation is to secure a bona fide loan made by a third
party and any hedging transactions entered into in connection therewith. The term “Transfer” shall not include any redemption or exchange of the OP Units for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 of the OP Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Transfer shall be made unless it is permitted under the OP Agreement. 
 2.8.2 Knowledge. The Contributor is
knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the Federal securities laws and as described in the Agreement. The Contributor is able to bear the economic
risk of holding the OP Units for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the OP Units; the Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Company, the
Operating Partnership, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the issuance of the OP Units as the Contributor deems necessary or desirable, has had cash flow and operations data for the Properties made available
by the Operating Partnership upon request and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the Company, the Operating Partnership, the
Properties, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the OP Units, which the Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the OP Units and to conduct its
own independent valuation of the Properties. The Contributor (or each of its constituent equity owners) has reviewed with its legal counsel and tax advisors the forms of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of
the Company, the form of which is attached to the Agreement as Appendix C (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) and the OP Agreement. 

2.8.3 Holding Period. The Contributor acknowledges that it has been advised that (i) the OP Units are not redeemable or
exchangeable for REIT Shares for fifteen (15) months, (ii) the OP Units issued pursuant to the Agreement, and any REIT Shares issued in exchange for, or in respect of a redemption of, any OP Units are “restricted securities”
(unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws) under applicable federal securities laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom and the Contributor understands
that the Operating Partnership has no obligation or intention to register any OP Units, except to the extent set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement; accordingly, the Contributor may have to bear indefinitely,

  
 Exhibit C-6 

 
the economic risks of an investment in such OP Units, (iii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on the OP Unit Certificates (and any certificates
representing REIT Shares for which OP Units may, in certain circumstances, be exchanged or redeemed), and (iv) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Operating Partnership and the Company indicating that the OP Units (and
any REIT Shares for which OP Units may, in certain circumstances, be exchanged or redeemed) are subject to restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15) month holding period, the
Contributor may pledge or encumber (to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership, another investor in the Operating Partnership or an institutional lender as support for a bona fide loan, which, in addition to banks, shall include, without
limitation, securities firms, broker/dealers and other entities engaged in the business of commercial lending) the OP Units delivered to the Contributor at Closing. 

2.8.4 Accredited Investor. The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of
Regulation D under the Act). The Contributor has previously provided the Operating Partnership and the Company with a duly executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire. No event or circumstance has occurred since delivery of such Questionnaire to make
the statements contained therein false or misleading. 
 2.8.5 Legend. Each OP Unit Certificate, if any, issued pursuant to the
Agreement (and any certificates representing REIT Shares for which OP Units may, in certain circumstances, be exchanged or redeemed), unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, shall bear the following legend: 

The securities evidenced hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or the securities
laws of any state and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration, unless, except in limited circumstances, the transferor delivers to the company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company, to
the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; 

In addition to the foregoing legend, each certificate (if any) representing REIT Shares for which the OP Units may, in certain circumstances,
be exchanged or redeemed shall also bear a legend which generally provides the following: 
 The shares represented by this certificate are
subject to restrictions on Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of
7.1% (in value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially or
Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation in excess of 7.1% of the value of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall
be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify
as a REIT; (iv) no Person may Constructively Own Capital Stock if such Constructive Ownership would cause any income of the Corporation to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) if it
would otherwise qualify as such and (v) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the 

  
 Exhibit C-7 

 
Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital
Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership
set forth in (i) through (iii) above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the
Corporation may take other actions, including redeeming shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may
violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings
defined in the Charter of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and
without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its Principal Office. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at the Closing the Company shall grant a waiver of the foregoing limitations to the Contributor in the form attached hereto as Annex A-1. 

2.9 No Brokers. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(i), neither the Contributor nor any of its officers, directors or employees, to the
extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their affiliates (including any of the
Partnerships and/or Entities) to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. 

2.10 Solvency. Assuming the accuracy of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s representations and warranties, the
Contributor will be solvent immediately following the transfer of its Properties, Partnership Interests (if applicable) and the Contributed Assets to the Operating Partnership. 

2.11 Taxes. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, no Tax lien or other charge exists or will exist upon consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby with respect to any Property, except for Permitted Encumbrances. Copies of the real property Tax bills for each Property for the current Tax year have been furnished or made available to the Operating Partnership, and such Tax
bills are true and correct copies of all of the real property Tax bills for such Tax year actually received with respect to each such Property by the Contributor or the Entities. For federal income Tax purposes, each Entity being directly or
indirectly acquired by the Company or the Operating Partnership (each such entity, an “Acquired Entity”) is, and at all times during its existence has been either (i) a partnership or limited liability company taxable as a
partnership (rather than an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) or (ii) a disregarded entity. Each Acquired Entity has timely and properly filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by it. All such Tax Returns
are complete and accurate in all material respects. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.11 to the Disclosure Schedule, to the Knowledge of the Contributor, all Taxes due and owing with respect to each Acquired Entity or Property (whether or not
shown on any Tax Return) have been paid. No Acquired Entity is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time
with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. No deficiencies for Taxes of any Acquired Entity or with respect to any Property have been claimed, proposed or assessed by any Tax authority or other Governmental Entity. There are no audits,
investigations, disputes, notices of deficiency, claims or other actions for or relating to any liability for Taxes of any Acquired Entity or with respect to any Property pending or, to the Knowledge of the Contributor, threatened in writing in the
last twelve months. 

  
 Exhibit C-8 

 2.12 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.12 to the Disclosure
Schedule, there is no Action, litigation, claim or other proceeding, either judicial or administrative (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding), pending or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, threatened in writing in
the last twelve months, against any Property, any Partnership, the Contributor, the Contributed Assets or any of the Entities or that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Contributor’s ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Contributor is not bound by any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, Governmental Entity or arbitration against or affecting all or any portion of its Partnership Interests, Properties, the Contributed
Assets, or any Entity which in any such case would impair the Contributor’s ability to enter into and perform all of its obligations under the Agreement or would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

2.13 Compliance With Laws. In connection with the operation of the Properties, except as set forth in Schedule 2.13 to the
Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor has not received written notice that any Property is not in compliance with, and to the Contributor’s Knowledge each Property has been maintained in accordance with, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, codes, orders and statutes (including, without limitation, those currently relating to fire safety, conservation, parking, Americans with Disabilities Act, zoning and building laws) whether federal, state or local, except where the
failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such Property. Compliance with Environmental Laws is not addressed by this Section 2.13, but rather solely by Section 2.17. 

2.14 Eminent Domain. There is no existing or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain
or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding, in respect of all or any material portion of any Property. 
 2.15
Licenses and Permits. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.15 to the Disclosure Schedule, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, all licenses, permits or other governmental approvals (including certificates of occupancy) required to be
obtained by the owner of any Property in connection with the construction, use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of the Properties have been obtained and are in full force and effect and in good standing, except for those licenses,
permits and other governmental approvals the failure of which to obtain or maintain in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such Property. 

2.16 Real Property Agreements. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.16 to the Disclosure Schedule, to the Contributor’s
Knowledge, no monetary or material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by the Partnership and, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, any other party exists under any agreement to which such Partnership is a party
affecting any Property (including, without limitation, any of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, right-of-way or easements constituting one or more of the Permitted Encumbrances) which would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Property. To
the Contributor’s Knowledge, such agreements are valid and binding and in full force and effect, have not been materially amended, modified or supplemented since such time as such agreements were made available to the Operating Partnership,
except for such amendments, modifications and supplements delivered or made available to the Operating Partnership. 
 2.17 Environmental
Compliance. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, except as may be disclosed in Schedule 2.17 to the Disclosure Schedule or the environmental reports listed therein (the “Environmental Reports”) (true and correct copies of
which have been made available to the Operating Partnership), the Properties are currently in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such
Property. The Contributor has not received any written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state, county or municipal entity or agency that regulates Hazardous Materials or public health risks or other
environmental matters or any other private party or 

  
 Exhibit C-9 

 
Person claiming any current violation of, or requiring current compliance with, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or demanding payment or contribution for any Release or other
environmental damage in, on, under, or upon any of the Properties. No litigation in which the Contributor or any related Entity is a named party is pending with respect to Hazardous Materials located in, on, under or upon any of the Properties, and
to the Contributor’s Knowledge, no investigation in such respect is pending and no such litigation or investigation has been threatened in writing in the last twelve months by any Governmental Entity or any third party. To the
Contributor’s Knowledge, except as may be disclosed in Schedule 2.17 to the Disclosure Schedule or the Environmental Reports, there are no environmental conditions existing at, on, under, upon or affecting the Properties or any portion
thereof that would reasonably be likely to result in any claim, liability or obligation under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permit or any claim by any third party that would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

2.18 Notice of Defects. The Contributor has not received any written notice from the holder of any mortgage presently encumbering a
Property, any insurance company which has issued a policy with respect to a Property or from any board of fire underwriters (or other body exercising similar functions) which claims any defects or deficiencies in such Property or suggesting or
requesting the performance of any repairs, alterations or other work to such Property. 
 2.19 Intentionally Omitted. 

2.20 Leases. With respect to each Property, the leases, licenses, tenancies, possession agreements and occupancy agreements with
tenants of such Property (the “Leases”) are identified on Schedule 2.20 to the Disclosure Schedule. The applicable Partnership holds the lessor’s interest under such Leases. A true and complete copy of all such Leases
have been made available to the Operating Partnership. To the Contributor’s Knowledge, such Leases are in full force and effect, except as indicated otherwise in Schedule 2.20 to the Disclosure Schedule or the rent roll delivered to
the Operating Partnership on the date hereof or in any estoppel certificate delivered to the Operating Partnership prior to the Closing. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.20 to the Disclosure Schedule or the rent roll delivered to the
Operating Partnership on the date hereof, no monetary or material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by the Partnership and, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, any other party exists under any Lease. To the
Contributor’s Knowledge, no tenants under any of the Leases is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. 

2.21 Ground Leases. No Property is the subject of any ground leases or air space leases in which any of the Partnerships or any related
Entity holds an interest as lessee or tenant. 
 2.22 Tangible Personal Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.22 to the
Disclosure Schedule, the Contributor’s interests in any fixtures or personal property that constitute Contributed Assets are free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens pursuant to the agreements pursuant to which such Fixtures and Personal
Property are leased and Permitted Encumbrances. 
 2.23 Service Contracts. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.23 to the
Disclosure Schedule, there are no (a) employees of any Partnership or Entity as of the date hereof, nor (b) service or maintenance contracts affecting any Property which are not cancelable upon ninety (90) days’ notice or less or
which are for a contract amount greater than $100,000 per annum; true and correct copies of the service, equipment, franchise, operating, management, parking, supply, utility and maintenance agreements relating to any Property (the “Service
Contracts”) have been made available to the Operating Partnership and the same are in full force and effect and have not been materially modified or amended except in the ordinary course of the applicable Partnership’s business. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2.23 to the Disclosure Schedule, no Partnership has given or received written notice of any default (which remains uncured) under any of the Service Contracts. 

  
 Exhibit C-10 

 2.24 Existing Loans. Schedule 2.24 to the Disclosure Schedule lists all
secured loans presently encumbering the Properties or any direct or indirect interest in any Entity held by the Contributor, and any unsecured loans related thereto to be assumed by the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary of the Operating
Partnership at Closing, as of the date hereof (the “Disclosed Loans”), the approximate outstanding aggregate principal balance of which is approximately $88,500,000 as of the date hereof based on the calculation of the loans listed
in Schedule 2.24. To Contributor’s Knowledge, the Disclosed Loans and the documents entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “Disclosed Loan Documents”) are in full force and effect as of the date
hereof. No monetary or material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by the Partnership or, to the Contributor’s Knowledge, any other party exists under any of the Loan Documents. Schedule 2.24 is a true,
correct and complete list in all material respects of all documents evidencing and entered into by Contributor and Partnerships in connection with the Existing Loans. True, correct and complete copies of the existing Disclosed Loan Documents set
forth in Schedule 2.24 have been made available to the Operating Partnership. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.24, no Entity is the holder of any promissory note or similar debt instrument whether issued by an affiliated entity or
third party. 
 2.25 Due Diligence. Prior to the date hereof, except as specifically identified to the Operating Partnership in
writing, the Contributor has provided the Operating Partnership with (or access to), true, correct and complete copies of the documents that to the Knowledge of the Contributor are in its possession and control that are responsive to Part IX
entitled “Properties, Assets and Leases” of the due diligence request list, dated July 10, 2014, made available to the Contributor by Affiliates of the Operating Partnership (the “Property Information”). The
Contributor has not deliberately or intentionally removed, omitted or redacted any information from the Property Information except as specifically identified to the Operating Partnership in writing identifying the basis for such removal, omission
or redaction. 
 2.26 Zoning. The Contributor has not received (i) any written notice (which remains uncured) from any
Governmental Entity stating that any of the Properties is currently violating any zoning, land use or other similar rules or ordinances in any material respect, or (ii) any written notice of any pending or threatened proceedings for the
rezoning (i.e., as opposed to the current zoning) of any of the Properties or any portion thereof. 
 2.27 Operating Statements. The
operating statements of income and expense of the Contributor provided by the Contributor to the Operating Partnership are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and fairly and accurately reflect the income and expenses of the
operation of the Properties for the periods reflected thereby. 
 ARTICLE 3 — INDEMNIFICATION 

3.1 Survival Of Representations And Warranties; Remedy For Breach. 

(a) Subject to the limitation period set forth in Section 3.7 of this Exhibit C, all representations and warranties
contained in this Exhibit C (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule) or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered pursuant to the Agreement shall survive the Closing. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Exhibit C, following the Closing and issuance of OP Units to the
Contributor, the Contributor shall not be liable under this Exhibit C or the Agreement for monetary damages (or otherwise) for breach of any of its 

  
 Exhibit C-11 

 
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Exhibit C or the Agreement (other than the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 2.5 and 2.6(e) thereof)
or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered by it pursuant thereto, other than pursuant to the succeeding provisions of this Article 3, which, except as provided in Sections 8.13 and 8.14 of the Agreement, shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing provision relating to exclusive remedy, each of the Operating Partnership and the Company hereby expressly waives any rights or claims it may have to pursue any
remedy against the Contributor or any of its affiliates following the Closing and payment of cash and issuance of OP Units to the Contributor, whether under statute or common law, including, without limitation, any rights arising under any
Environmental Law, other than (i) as provided in this Article 3 or in Sections 8.13 and 8.14 of the Agreement, and (ii) with respect to the covenants and obligations described in Sections 2.5 and 2.6(e) of the Agreement. In no
event shall the constituent members, partners, employees, officers, directors, managers, advisers, agents or representatives of the Contributor, or of any Entity other than the Contributor, be liable for monetary damages (or otherwise) for any
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Exhibit C or the Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered by the Contributor or Entity pursuant thereto. 

3.2 General Indemnification. 

(a) Subject to Section 3.6, from and after the Closing Date, the Contributor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Operating Partnership and the Company (each of which is an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Party, to the extent resulting from any breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant of the Contributor contained in the Agreement (as qualified by all items set forth in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Schedule and including, without limitation, this Exhibit C), or in any Schedule,
Exhibit, certificate or affidavit delivered by the Contributor pursuant thereto. In each case, the Contributor shall only bear the fees, costs or expenses in connection with the employment of one counsel (regardless of the number of Indemnified
Parties). 
 (b) Subject to Section 3.6, the Contributor shall also indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and
against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from an unrelated third-party claim arising from (i) the Contributor’s failure to timely pay any fees and expenses of
the Contributor for which it is responsible pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) any Excluded Liabilities of the Contributor. 

(c) With respect to any claim of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.2, to the extent available, the Operating Partnership
agrees to use diligent good faith efforts to pursue and collect any and all available proceeds and benefits of any right to defense under any insurance policy which covers the matter which is the subject of the indemnification prior to seeking
indemnification from the Contributor until all proceeds and benefits, if any, to which the Operating Partnership or the Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to such insurance policy have been exhausted; provided, however, that the Operating
Partnership may make a claim under this Section 3.2 even if an insurance coverage dispute is pending, in which case, if the Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds with respect to any Losses paid by the Contributor for the benefit
of any Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Contributor in an amount equivalent to such proceeds in excess of any deductible amount pursuant to Section 3.6(a) up to the amount actually paid (or deemed paid) by the
Contributor to the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnification (it being understood that all costs and expenses incurred by the Contributor with respect to insurance coverage disputes shall constitute Losses paid by the Contributor for
purposes of Section 3.2(a)). 

  
 Exhibit C-12 

 3.3 Pledge Agreement. At the IPO Closing, the Contributor shall execute a Pledge Agreement
(in the form of Exhibit H to the Agreement) pursuant to which its indemnity contained in this Article 3 shall be secured by a pledge of such OP Units equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate Total Consideration of the
Contributor, and which pledge will be in full satisfaction of any indemnification obligations of the Contributor contained in this Article 3. The Pledge Agreement shall provide that Bank of New York, or an institution of a similar type, serve
as the pledge holder of the OP Units, and shall provide that notwithstanding such pledge and any distributions associated with the pledged OP Units during the terms of the Pledge Agreement shall be distributed to the Contributor as though such OP
Units have not been pledged. 
 3.4 Agent for Pledgees. 

(a) In connection with the indemnities set forth in this Section 3, each Indemnified Party by accepting the benefits of this Agreement
hereby designates and appoints the Operating Partnership as its agent under the Pledge Agreement, and each Indemnified Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Operating Partnership to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its
behalf under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement and to exercise such powers as are set forth therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Operating Partnership is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or
waive any provisions of the Pledge Agreement on behalf of the Indemnified Parties. The Operating Partnership agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 3.4. The provisions of this Section 3.4 are solely for
the benefit of the Operating Partnership and the Indemnified Parties, and the Contributor shall not have any obligations under or rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under the
Pledge Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall act solely as an administrative representative of the Indemnified Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or
for the Indemnified Parties, by or through its agents or employees. 
 (b) The Operating Partnership shall have no duties, obligations or
responsibilities to the Indemnified Parties except those expressly set forth in this Section 3.4 or in the Pledge Agreement. Neither the Operating Partnership nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Indemnified Party for any action taken or omitted by them under this Section 3.4 or under the Pledge Agreement, or in connection with this Section 3.4 or the Pledge Agreement, except that the Operating Partnership shall be obligated on the
terms set forth in this Section 3.4 for performance of its express obligations under the Pledge Agreement. In performing its functions and duties under the Pledge Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall exercise the same care which it would
exercise in dealing with a security interest in collateral held for its own account, but the Operating Partnership shall not be responsible to any Indemnified Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties in the Pledge Agreement
or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreement or the collateral or the transactions contemplated thereby. The Operating Partnership shall not be required to make any inquiry
concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Pledge Agreement. 
 (c) The Operating
Partnership shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Section 3.4 and the Pledge Agreement and its duties under this Section 3.4 or the Pledge Agreement, upon
advice of counsel selected by it. The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Operating Partnership in its sole discretion. 

  
 Exhibit C-13 

 3.5 Notice and Defense of Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the
Indemnified Party of notice of any liability or claim incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to indemnification under this Article 3, the Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof to the Contributor, including
liabilities or claims to be applied against the indemnification deductible established pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof; provided that failure to give notice to the Contributor will not relieve the Contributor from any liability which it may have
to any Indemnified Party, unless, and only to the extent that, such failure (a) shall have caused prejudice to the defense of such claim or (b) shall have materially increased the costs or potential liability of the Contributor by reason
of the inability or failure of the Contributor (due to such lack of prompt notice) to be involved in any investigations or negotiations regarding any such claim. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to such Indemnified
Party giving rise to such claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising therefrom. Unless prohibited by law, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Contributor, promptly after such Indemnified Party’s receipt
thereof, copies of all notices and documents received by such Indemnified Party relating to such claim. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Contributor, at their own option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel selected
by the Contributor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate in such defense at its sole expense; and provided
further, however, that the Contributor shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to all Indemnified Parties a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of
money damages which are paid (or deemed paid) in full by the Contributor. If the Contributor has not undertaken such defense within 30 days after such notice, or within such shorter time as may be reasonable under the circumstances to the extent
required by applicable law, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the account of the Contributor and at the Contributor’s sole cost and
expense (subject to the limitations in Section 3.6); provided, however, that the Contributor will be not obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any compromise or settlement entered into without the Contributor’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 3.6 Limitations on Indemnification Under
Section 3.2(a). 
 (a) The Contributor shall not be liable under Section 3.2(a) hereof unless and until the total amount
recoverable by the Indemnified Parties from the Contributor under Section 3.2(a) exceeds one percent (1%) of the value of the aggregate Total Consideration of the Contributor (valuing OP Units based upon the initial public offering price
of the Common Stock), and then only to the extent of such excess. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
maximum aggregate liability of the Contributor under Section 3.2(a) hereof shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the value of the aggregate Total Consideration of the Contributor (valuing OP Units based upon the initial public offering
price of the Common Stock). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, before taking recourse against any assets of the Contributor and subject to the limitations set forth in the following sentence, the Indemnified Parties shall
look, first to available insurance proceeds (including without limitation any title insurance proceeds, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.2(c) above, and then to the Contributor’s OP Units pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, for
indemnification under this Article 3, valuing OP Units based upon the initial public offering price of the Common Stock (and agree to treat any return of OP Units as an adjustment to the consideration delivered to the Contributor
pursuant to the Formation Transactions). Following the Closing and the issuance of OP Units to the Contributor, no Indemnified Party shall have recourse to any assets of the Contributor other than the OP Units pledged

  
 Exhibit C-14 

 
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and to the extent applicable, any relevant insurance policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Contributor shall not be liable to
the Indemnified Parties for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of value or other similar speculative damages asserted or claimed by the Indemnified Parties. 

(c) The limitations in this Section 3.6 shall not apply to any obligations of the Contributor under Sections 2.5 and 2.6(e) of the
Agreement and to the matters set forth in Annex A-2 to this Exhibit C. 
 3.7 Limitation Period. 

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification under Section 3.2 hereof must be asserted in writing by the Indemnified
Party, stating the nature of the Losses and the basis for indemnification therefor on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.7(a), if asserted in writing on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing, any
claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 3.2 shall survive until resolved by mutual agreement between the Contributor and the Indemnified Party or pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Agreement, and any claim for indemnification pursuant
to Section 3.2 not so asserted in writing on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing shall not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived. 

ARTICLE 4 — QUALIFICATION 

Except for the Surviving Representations, and the covenants, obligations and indemnities set forth herein, the Operating Partnership
acknowledges that its acquisition of the Partnership Interests, the Properties and the Contributed Assets from the Contributor is an “AS IS” transaction as further described in Article 6 of the Agreement and that the Operating Partnership
shall rely and has relied on its investigations and due diligence to determine whether to acquire the Partnership Interests, the Properties and the Contributed Assets. To the extent that the Operating Partnership has Knowledge of a Contributor
Breach (as hereinafter defined), and the Operating Partnership nonetheless elects to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have waived, released, acquitted and discharged any
and all Losses that the Operating Partnership may have by reason of such known breach by the Operating Partnership of such covenants, representations or warranties and any rights to the pledged OP Units. For purposes of this Article 4,
“Knowledge of a Contributor Breach” shall mean that either (i) the Operating Partnership shall have received, prior to Closing, written notice by Contributor or its counsel of a breach by the Contributor of any of the covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in this Exhibit C or elsewhere in the Agreement, or any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate, affidavit or other instruments and documents described herein, as identified in such notice, or (ii) either
William Trimble or Alison Bernard (after due inquiry of Andrew Pulliam) shall have actual knowledge of a breach by the Contributor of any of the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Exhibit C or elsewhere in the
Agreement, or any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate, affidavit or other instruments and documents described herein.

TO 
 CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 

TOTAL CONSIDERATION 
 The Total
Consideration to be received by the Contributor in exchange for the Properties, the Partnership Interests (if any), the Contributed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Assumed Agreements related to the Properties shall be the number of OP Units
equal to (i) 37.09% multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of OP Units issuable to all contributors in the Formation Transactions. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the percentage set forth in clause
(i) above shall be updated at and as of the Closing by the Operating Partnership acting in good faith to reflect any changes in the principal balance of any debt secured by, or other net assets contributed with, the Properties relative to the
principal balance of any debt secured by, or other net assets contributed with, the additional properties, directly or indirectly, set forth on Exhibit A-2 that are also being contributed to the Operating Partnership. For the avoidance of
doubt, none of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Public Offering or in any private placement of Common Stock entered into in connection therewith or any shares of Common Stock distributed by the Operating Partnership in a special distribution
shall be included for purposes of the calculation of the Total Consideration. 
 No fractional OP Units shall be issued in connection with
the Formation Transactions. All fractional OP Units that a holder of OP Units would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Formation Transactions shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of OP Units. 

THE CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING PURSUANT TO THIS EXHIBIT D SHALL BE PERFORMED IN GOOD FAITH BY THE
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE AGREEMENT, THE CONTRIBUTOR AGREES THAT THE CALCULATION OF TOTAL CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING
UPON THE CONTRIBUTOR, ABSENT MANIFEST ERROR. THE CONTRIBUTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP IN WRITING OF ANY ALLEGED MANIFEST ERROR WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIPT OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP’S CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION
DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING. THE CONTRIBUTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE CALCULATION OF THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION DELIVERABLE AT CLOSING, OTHER THAN AS SPECIFIED IN SUCH NOTICE SETTING FORTH THE ALLEGED MANIFEST ERROR.

                     (the “Lease”) 

Dear [Current Owner]: 
 The General Services Administration
(“Government”), the tenant under the Lease, understands that [                    ], the current landlord (“Transferor”), is
planning to transfer the Property to [                    ], a Delaware limited liability company, or its permitted assignee
(“Transferee”). This Government’s intent to recognize the Transferee as successor-in-interest is predicated on the Transferee 1) not being listed on the debarred bidders list and 2) not being listed on the list of terrorist groups.
The Transferee may have to provide other information in order to received rent, and the Government reserves the right to request other documents from the Transferee as provided in FAR 42.1204. Upon completion of the Government’s due diligence,
the Government will execute and deliver two (2) originals of the attached Novation Agreement (which will have been executed by Transferor and Transferee prior to submission to the Government). This letter may be relied upon by Transferor and
Transferee.

Interests”, and together with the Contribution Pledged Interests, the “Pledged  

  
 Exhibit H-2 

 
Interests”), as more fully described on Exhibit A attached hereto, such pledges, liens and security interests to remain in effect during the Pledge Period (as defined below)

(ii) any additional partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Partnership Interests”) and/or obligations

 3.
Pledgor Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) the Pledgor shall remain obligated, to the extent set forth in the agreements (including, without limitation, the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “OP Agreement”)) under which it has received, or has rights or obligations in respect of its ownership of, the Pledged Interests (“Related Agreements”) to perform its
duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the
Related Agreements, except to the extent that such duties and obligations may have been terminated by reason of a sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant hereto; and (c) the Pledgee shall not by reason of this Agreement
have any obligations or liabilities under the Related Agreements, nor shall the Pledgee be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Pledgor under the Related Agreements or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for
payment assigned hereunder. 
 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants, as of
the date hereof (for itself and not jointly or jointly and severally with any other Person), as follows: 
 (a) Set forth on Exhibit
A attached hereto is a complete and accurate list and description of all Pledged Interests delivered by Pledgor. Pledgor owns, directly or indirectly, all of such Pledged Interests, free and clear of all claims, mortgages, pledges, liens,
encumbrances and security interests of every nature whatsoever, except in favor of the Pledgee. All other Collateral hereafter delivered by the Pledgor to the Escrow Agent and the Pledgor will be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Pledgor free
and clear of all claims, mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances and security interests of every nature whatsoever, except in favor of the Pledgee. 

(b) With respect to the Pledgor, the address of his primary residence is set forth in Section 21 hereof. Pledgor will not change said
address without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior 

  
 Exhibit H-4 

 
written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Pledgee, and with respect to any such change in address, Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Pledgee such documents and take
such actions as each of the Escrow Agent and the Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to perfect and protect the Pledgee’s security interests in and to the Collateral. 

(c) During the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period (as defined below)), the Pledgor will not
create, incur, assume or permit to exist any security interest in the Collateral (or during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained Collateral (as defined below)) other than the security interest created pursuant to this Agreement or sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or grant a security interest in the Collateral (or during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained Collateral) to any person other than the Pledgee. 

(d) The Pledged Interests that are Collateral hereunder are fully paid and are not subject to any options to purchase or similar rights of any
kind granted by the Pledgor in favor of any Person, except pursuant to the terms of the OP Agreement. 
 (e) This Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by the application of general equitable principles. 
 (f) The Pledgor’s execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate (as applicable) any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, and will not conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default
under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Pledgor is a party or by which it is bound, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property of
the Pledgor pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing. 
 (g) No consent of any Person and no consent, license, permit, approval or
authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental instrumentality is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
except for the filing of any financing statements required or contemplated hereunder. 
 (h) The pledge of the Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral to the extent such interest can be created pursuant to the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, subject to any filings or actions required pursuant to the
Delaware Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise. 
 (i) During the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent
applicable), the Pledgor will take commercially reasonable actions to defend the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral (or, during such Extended Pledge Period, the Retained Collateral) against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever. 
 (j) During the Pledge Period (and any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor will take any and
all commercially reasonable actions necessary to 

  
 Exhibit H-5 

 
maintain its status as a limited partner of the Operating Partnership and the limited liability represented by the Pledged Interests. 

(k) During the Pledge Period, the Pledgor will not enter into or assume any other agreement containing a negative pledge with respect to the
Collateral (or, during any Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable, with respect to the Retained Collateral). 
 5.
Registration. At any time and from time to time during the Pledge Period, the Pledgee may cause all or any of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its name or the name of its nominee or nominees. 

6. Claims; Value of Collateral. 

(a) Any claims by an Indemnified Party with respect to a Contribution Secured Obligation shall be made in accordance with Article 3 of Exhibit
C to the Contribution Agreement and this Agreement. On or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the “Survival Period”), an Indemnified Party may give notice (a
“Claim Notice”) to the Escrow Agent and the Pledgor of any Loss that is subject to indemnification under Article 3 to Exhibit C of the Contribution Agreement. 

(b) Any claims by an Indemnified Party with respect to a Novation Secured Obligation shall be made in accordance with Section 2.6(b)(iv)
of the Contribution Agreement and this Agreement. During the Survival Period, an Indemnified Party may give a Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and the Pledgor of any obligation to deliver rents to the Operating Partnership pursuant to
Section 2.6(b)(iv)(c) of the Contribution Agreement that has not been satisfied by the Pledgor, CMI or Western Devcon. 
 (c) The value
of Collateral (the “Value”) shall be determined as follows: (i) with respect to Collateral consisting of OP Units, an amount equal to the initial public offering price of shares of the Company’s common stock multiplied by
the number of OP Units; and (ii) for all other Collateral, the fair market value of such Collateral as determined by directors of the Company who meet the New York Stock Exchange standards of independence for directors, as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Independent Directors”). 
 7. Voting Rights and Certain Payments Prior to
Occurrence of Secured Obligations and Other Events. 
 (a) Until Collateral may be applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation hereunder, the
Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise, in its sole discretion but not inconsistent with the terms hereof, the voting power with respect to any such Collateral, and for that purpose the Pledgee shall (if such Collateral shall be registered in the
name of the Pledgee or its nominee) execute or cause to be executed from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, such proxies or other instruments in favor of the Pledgor or its nominee in such form and for such purposes as shall be reasonably
required and specified in writing by the Pledgor, to enable the Pledgor to exercise such voting power with respect to such Collateral. 

(b) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any and all regular cash distributions (but not distributions in
the form of Partnership Interests or other securities, distributions in kind or liquidating distributions, all of which shall be delivered to the 

  
 Exhibit H-6 

 
Escrow Agent and applied in accordance with Section 8 hereof) and interest at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except with the prior consent of the Pledgee, until such time as the
Pledge Period has expired, the Pledgor shall not have the right to exercise any of its redemption rights under Section 8.5 of the OP Agreement with respect to any Pledged Interests. 

8. Extraordinary Payments and Distributions. In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of the Operating
Partnership, any sum shall be paid as a liquidating distribution or otherwise upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, such sum shall be paid over to the Escrow Agent promptly, and in any event within ten days after receipt thereof, to be held
by the Escrow Agent as additional Collateral hereunder. In case any distribution of Partnership Interests shall be made with respect to the Collateral, or Partnership Interests or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to any split involving any
of the Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Collateral, or any partnership interests, shares, obligations or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Collateral pursuant to a recapitalization
or reclassification of the capital of the Operating Partnership, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part), bankruptcy or reorganization of the Operating Partnership, or pursuant to the merger or consolidation of the
Operating Partnership with or into another entity, the partnership interests, shares, obligations or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent promptly, and in any event within ten days after receipt thereof, to be held by
the Escrow Agent as additional Collateral hereunder, and all of the same (other than cash) shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof. 

9. Pledgor Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be
impaired by: 
 (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the
Pledgor; 
 (b) any amendments to or modifications of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations;

 (c) the taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination
of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations; or 
 (d) the lack of enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations
against the Pledgor or any other person, whether or not the Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. 
 10. Voting
Rights and Certain Payments After Occurrence of Secured Obligation and Certain Other Events. 
 (a) At such time that Collateral may be
applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation hereunder, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising all voting power with respect to such Collateral and to otherwise exercise all ownership rights arising from such Collateral shall
cease, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Pledgee the Pledged 

  
 Exhibit H-7 

 
Interests and thereupon the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to such Collateral and otherwise exercise such ownership rights as though the Pledgee were the
outright owner of such Collateral. In the event that the Independent Directors of the Company reasonably determine that the outstanding claims asserted by the Indemnified Parties in one or more Claim Notices may equal or exceed the value of the
Collateral then available to satisfy such claims, the Pledgor shall no longer be the owner of such Collateral for tax purposes and all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain the distributions and interest which it would otherwise be authorized
to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall cease, and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to Pledgee the Pledged Interests and the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder,
any and all distributions and interest at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, provided that, concurrent with making such determination, the Pledgee gives notice thereof to the Escrow Agent and the Pledgor. Upon receipt
of any such notice, the Pledgor may submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Provisions (as defined below), and the decision of the arbitrators as to the retention of any such distributions and interest shall be
final and binding between the parties and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) All payments, distributions or
other property or assets that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 10 shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of the
Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee. 
 11. Application of Cash Collateral. Any cash received and retained by the
Escrow Agent as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof may at any time and from time to time be applied (in whole or in part) by the Pledgee, at its option and by notice to the Escrow Agent, to the payment of the Secured Obligations
which such Collateral secures (in such order as the Pledgee shall in its sole discretion determine), if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder. 

12. Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any cash received and retained pursuant to Section 8
hereof shall be applied by the Pledgee, at its option and by notice to the Escrow Agent: first to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder; and then, to the payment to the Pledgor,
or its successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. 
 13. Remedies With
Respect to the Collateral. 
 (a) Subject to the rights of the Pledgor to submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the Dispute
Resolution Provisions, if the Pledgor fails to pay or perform any Secured Obligation when due, the Pledgee, without obligation to resort to other security, shall have the right at any time and from time to time and by notice to the Escrow Agent to
receive all or any part of Collateral with a Value equal to the amount of such Secured Obligation, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof.

 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (or the Contribution Agreement), the sole recourse of the Pledgee against
the Pledgor for the Secured Obligations and 

  
 Exhibit H-8 

 
the obligations of the Pledgor under this Agreement is limited to the rights of the Pledgor in any such Collateral that is applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation. 

(c) Other than as expressly set forth herein, no demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived, shall be required
in connection with any transfer of Collateral to the Pledgee pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (d) Subject to the provisions of
Section 13(b), the remedies provided herein in favor of the Pledgee shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Pledgee existing at law or in equity. 

(e) Pledgor and Pledgee agree to treat any application of Pledged Interests or other Collateral in discharge of any Secured Obligations as a
non-taxable adjustment to the portion of the consideration received by the Pledgor pursuant to the Contribution Agreement in the form of OP Units unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of
Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 14. Care of Collateral. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty
as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any thereof actually in its possession. With respect to any maturities, calls,
conversions, exchanges, redemptions, offers, tenders or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral (herein called “events”), the Escrow Agent’s duty shall be fully satisfied if (i) the Escrow Agent exercises reasonable
care to ascertain the occurrence and to give reasonable notice to the Pledgor and the Pledgee of any events applicable to any Collateral which are registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, (ii) the Escrow Agent gives the
Pledgor reasonable notice of the occurrence of any events, of which the Escrow Agent has received actual knowledge, as to any securities which are in bearer form or are not registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee (the Pledgor
agreeing to give the Pledgee reasonable notice of the occurrence of any events applicable to any securities in the possession of the Escrow Agent of which the Pledgor have received knowledge), and (iii) (a) the Escrow Agent endeavors to
take such action with respect to any of the events as the Pledgor may reasonably and specifically request in writing in sufficient time for such action to be evaluated and taken or (b) if the Escrow Agent reasonably determines that the action
requested might adversely affect the value of the Collateral, the collection of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise prejudice the interests of the Escrow Agent or the Pledgee, the Escrow Agent gives reasonable notice to the Pledgor and the Pledgee
that any such requested action will not be taken and if the Escrow Agent makes such determination or if the Pledgor fails to make such timely request, the Escrow Agent takes such other action as it deems advisable in the circumstances. Except as
hereinabove specifically set forth, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation to ascertain the occurrence of, or to notify the Pledgor or the Pledgee with respect to, any events and shall not be deemed to assume any such further obligation
as a result of the establishment by the Escrow Agent of any internal procedures with respect to any Collateral in its possession. Except for any claims, causes of action or demands arising out of the Escrow Agent’s failure to perform its
agreements set forth in this Section, the Pledgor releases the Pledgee and the Escrow Agent from and against any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Agreement, the Collateral and/or any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by the Escrow Agent or the Pledgee with respect thereto, and the Pledgor hereby agrees to hold the Pledgee and

the Escrow Agent harmless from and with respect to any and all such claims, causes of action and demands. 

15. Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee and the Escrow Agent to act during the Pledge Period (and, if and to the
extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period) as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Pledgee or the Escrow Agent reasonably
may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period), the Pledgee and the Escrow Agent shall
have the right and power (a) upon application of any Collateral (including, during such Extended Pledge Period, any Retained Collateral) to satisfy a Secured Obligation, to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the
payment of money made payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or other distribution payable in respect of such Collateral (or Retained Collateral) or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, and (b) to execute
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral (or Retained Collateral); provided, that the Pledgee or the Escrow Agent (as applicable) shall provide written notice
to the Pledgor reasonably prior to taking any such action under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). 
 16. Further Assurances.
The Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of the Pledgee or the Escrow Agent, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Pledgee or the Escrow Agent, respectively, such further instruments and
documents and take and cause to be taken such further actions as may be necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee or the Escrow Agent to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement. 

17. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Pledgee or the Escrow Agent to exercise, and no delay on the part of the Pledgee in
exercising, any of its options, powers, rights or remedies hereunder, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other option, power, right or
remedy. 
 18. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder, grant of a security interest in the Collateral and
all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Contribution Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto, (b) any change in any term of all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, the Contribution Agreement or any other agreement or instrument or (c) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement. 

19. Expenses. Pledgor agrees to pay the Escrow Agent and the Pledge all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Escrow Agent and the
Pledgee (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any provisions of this Agreement. 

20. End of Pledge Period; Return of Collateral. 

  
 Exhibit H-10 

 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Pledge Period” means the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the termination of the Survival Period; provided, that, (i) if any claim(s) asserted in any Claim Notices(s) delivered pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement remain
outstanding at the time of termination of the Survival Period (any such claim, an “Outstanding Claim”), the Pledgee shall have the right to retain, pending resolution of such Outstanding Claim(s) pursuant to Article 3 of Exhibit C
to the Contribution Agreement, and at all times subject to the terms hereof, Collateral with a Value equal to the aggregate dollar amount of such Outstanding Claims (“Retained Collateral”) and, solely with respect to such Retained
Collateral, the Pledge Period shall be deemed to continue (an “Extended Pledge Period”) until the resolution pursuant to Article 3 of Exhibit C to the Contribution Agreement, of such Outstanding Claim(s) to which such Retained
Collateral relates; and (ii) if a Novation Agreement as to a GSA Lease for a particular Property is received on or before termination of the Survival Period, the Pledgee shall promptly effect the return to Pledgor of the Novation Pledged
Interests in the amount applicable for such Property as set forth on Exhibit B. For the avoidance of doubt, only Contribution Collateral may be Retained Collateral and the Operating Partnership shall not have any right to retain any Novation
Collateral following the termination of the Pledge Period. 
 (b) Upon the termination of the Pledge Period (or the Extended Pledge Period,
if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor shall be entitled to, and the Pledgee promptly shall effect, the return to the Pledgor of all of the Collateral (and all other cash held as additional Collateral hereunder) that has not been used or
applied toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood, for the sake of clarity, that all Collateral not so used or applied shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of
the Survival Date, except for any Retained Collateral, which shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the date on which the Outstanding Claim(s) related thereto are resolved in accordance with Article 3 of Exhibit C to
the Contribution Agreement). The Pledgee shall take all reasonable actions to effect and evidence the return of Collateral under this Section 20, including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to, and the
return to the Pledgor of certificates representing the Pledged Interests comprising, such Collateral. 
 (c) The assignment by the Pledgee
to the Pledgor of such Collateral shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without recourse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgor’s release of the Escrow Agent and the Pledgee and agreement to hold
the Escrow Agent and the Pledgee harmless set forth in the last sentence of Section 14 hereof shall survive any return of Collateral or termination of this Agreement. 

21. Notices. All notices and other communications in connection with this Agreement shall be made in writing by hand delivery,

 22. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Pledgee and the Pledgor. 

  
 Exhibit H-12 

 23. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Escrow Agent, the
Pledgee and the Pledgor hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflict-of-laws principles thereof). 

24. Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.14 of the Contribution Agreement (the
“Dispute Resolution Provisions”). 
 25. Transfer or Assignment. Except with respect to any assignment or transfer
by the Pledgee to an affiliate (which shall not require the Pledgor’s consent but as to which the Pledgee will give prior written notice to the Pledgor), none of the Pledgor or Pledgee may assign or transfer any of their respective rights under
and interests in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Pledgor (if the assignor/transferee is the Pledgee) or of the Pledgee (if the assignor/transferee is the Pledgor), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, however, that no consent of the Pledgor is required hereunder for (a) the assignment or transfer by the Operating Partnership of any of its rights under and interests in the Contribution Agreement to any
permitted assignee under the Contribution Agreement or (b) the Pledgee to act hereunder as agent on behalf of any person who becomes a Indemnified Party. Upon receipt of such consent (if required under this Section 25), the Pledgee may
deliver the Collateral or any portion thereof to its assignee/transferee who shall thereupon, to the extent provided in the instrument of assignment, have all of the rights and obligations of the Pledgee hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and
the Pledgee shall thereafter be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so delivered to such assignee/transferee. However, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve such assignee/transferee of those duties and
obligations of the Pledgee specified hereunder. 
 26. Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Pledgor and the Pledgee and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, and all subsequent holders of the Secured Obligations. 

27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. 

28. Captions. The captions of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect
the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 
 29. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Contribution
Agreement, as applicable, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

30. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired. 

31. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as may be expressly provided or incorporated by reference herein, no provision of this
Agreement is intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any 

  
 Exhibit H-13 

 
customer, affiliate, stockholder, partner, member, director, officer or employee of any party hereto or any other Person or entity.
